BACKGROUND City staff was in the process of cleaning the sanitary sewer in Andover Park E in preparation for the 2015/2016 CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The jet head used for cleaning became obstructed and medium to large gravel debris was found within the sewer system, which indicated a possible break in the sewer main. The City contracted with Bravo Environmental (Bravo) to video the sewer line. During the videoing, Bravo's camera became lodged in a hole in the bottom of the pipe and could not be removed. It was determined that it was necessary to excavate the sewer main in order to remove the camera and determine the extent of the damage to the sewer main as an emergency situation. DISCUSSION Approve the Resolution which declares an emergency and authorizes immediate repairs to the damaged sanitary sewer line by a construction contract exempt from competitive bidding. FISCAL IMPACT The repair work being completed by R. L. Alia Company is being performed under force account to track all actual costs. This work will be paid for using 2015/2016 CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project funds. The current estimate of costs is $32,000 plus sales tax, for a total estimate of $35,000. RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to approve the Resolution declaring an emergency for the Emergency Sewer Repair at 1227 Andover Park East and consider this item at the on the Consent Agenda at the September 21, 2015 Regular meeting.

PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Plastic Bag Bans across Washington State Ms. Cengic provided an informational overview of the plastic bag bans that have been implemented to date in 11 Washington cities. Many cities locally, nationally and globally are responding to the environmental impacts of single -use plastic bags by banning their use and encouraging shoppers to bring their own re- usable bags. The legislation enacted by the cities in Washington is very similar, and samples from Port Townsend and Thurston County were distributed to the Committee. Committee members discussed the concept, wondering specifically about the reaction from the business community considering Tukwila's large retail population. Economic Development staff offered to informally poll a few business contacts and report back to the Committee at a future date. The Committee also requested a current environmental impact study.
