I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
There was consensus to take up items C and D as the first items of business.
A. Change Order: Andover Park West to Andover Park East Sewer Repair Project
Staff is seeking Council approval of Change Order No. 3 with the R.L. Alia Company for the
Andover Park West (APW) to Andover Park East (APE) Sewer Repair Project in the amount of
$91,152.15. The original contract was awarded in September 2014 for the repair of a collapsed
sewer line between APW and APE and the installation of a manhole in APE near Strander
Boulevard. Following successful completion of the repair work a second collapsed portion was
discovered. Alia exposed and successfully repaired the second collapse, and subsequently the
entire line has been sliplined under a separate contract with Michels Corporation. This Change
Order covers the cost of the second, unanticipated collapse and repair. Funds not covered by
contingency are available from the 2015 construction funds of the Central Business District
Sewer Rehabilitation Project. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 18, 2015
REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Proiect Completion: Central Business District Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Staff is seeking Council approval of project completion and release of retainage to the Michels
Corporation in the amount of $171,530.07 for the Central Business District Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Project. The Michels Corporation relined 2,444 feet of sanitary sewer pipe. Photos
and video of the project were displayed for the Committee. Committee Chair Robertson
requested a future committee discussion on strategies to accommodate new types of
development in the Urban Center. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 18, 2015
REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Grant Amendment: Duwamish Gardens Project
Staff is seeking Council approval of a grant amendment for additional construction funding for the
Duwamish Gardens Project in the amount of $250,000. The Duwamish Gardens Project's design
and permitting are complete and construction is expected to begin this spring. In 2014 the City
accepted $949,434.00 in grant funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation
Office (RCO) for the construction. Review of the project budget prior to bidding revealed a
shortfall in funding. Staff contacted RCO and secured the additional $250,000 proposed in this
grant amendment. With this increased funding level the City's required match would then become
$381,523.00, and funds for the match are available from other non -RCO grant funding, including
King County Conservation Futures, King Conservation District, and the King County Flood Control
District. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 18, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT
AGENDA.

D. Bid Award: Duwamish Gardens Project
Staff is seeking Council approval to award the construction of the Duwamish Gardens project to
McCann Construction Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $2,447,356.95. McCann was the lowest
of eight bids received and has successfully constructed other municipal projects with good
references. To address the budget shortfall described above, staff worked with WRIA 9 to find
that around $200,000 in additional King Conservation District (KCD) funding is available from the
Burien Seahurst Park Project. KCD staff is supportive of the funds being transferred to Tukwila,
pending approval from WRIA 9 and the KCD Board.
In addition, staff is proposing transferring $171,295.00 from the 412 Surface Water Utility, since
habitat projects are now included in that fund due to surface water runoff impacts. The East
Marginal Way South Stormwater Outfalls Project construction will be delayed until 2016 and those
funds could be applied to Duwamish Gardens in 2015. Also, that project has tentatively been
approved to receive $1,106,000 in grant funding through the Department of Ecology, well over
the anticipated $300,000 reflected in the adopted CIP. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO MAY 18, 2015 REGULAR MEETING.
