BACKGROUND The Overlay and Repair - East Marginal Way S (S 81 s' PI to S Norfolk St) Project design began in January of 2013 with the assistance of design consultant, KPG Inc, who also served as the construction management consultant. The construction contract was awarded to Miles Resources on February 3, 2014. The scope of this project included pavement repairs and an asphalt overlay of East Marginal Way S between S 81't PI and S Norfolk St. Project construction included pavement repairs and asphalt overlay, new pavement markings, pedestrian safety upgrades, and storm water improvements. The main focus of the East Marginal Way S Overlay and Repair project was to preserve and maintain the street structure in a safe and useable condition by grinding off the top layer of asphalt and resurfacing it with new asphalt pavement. DISCUSSION Each year the Washington Asphalt Pavement Association (WAPA), Washington State Department of Transportation, American Public Works Association and the Washington Association of County Engineers award those paving projects judged to be the most outstanding in the State. The awards are presented at WAPA's Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet held in November. The City received notification September 29, 2015 via email they had been chosen over 13 other paving projects in Western Washington as the award recipient for Best City Paving Award — Western Washington for the Overlay and Repair - East Marginal Way S Project.

If at all possible, we'd like to have an Owner's representative (David in this case) or his designee at the Awards Banquet to accept the award and to receive recognition for this fine asphalt paved project. If an Owner's Rep. is not available, the Project Designer would be a good stand -in to accept the award for the Owner, but generally we like to see the City project official join us. If the City official can attend, they are welcome to join us for the General Membership meeting during the day on Friday November 20th also. It will have several items of interest with national and regional experts on several asphalt paving topics. You simply need to register them as a guest when you register the Miles Resources attendees for the meeting/ banquet Jeff. It is CRITICAL that we get pictures of the award winning team members to make the presentation meaningful and reflective of this high honor. Please collect and send the following pictures to me directly by November V: • WAPA Member's Project Management team • WAPA Member's paving crew • Owner's Project Management team • Owner's Inspection crew • Any good pictures taken during paving or any good pictures you might have of the finished project. We have several pictures of the finished paving, but if you have some additional ones available, especially during paving, please send them along too. Please make sure you identify the people and their roles when you send in the team/ crew pictures. The names will be shown with the pictures during the presentation so it's important to get the names properly linked to the pictures submitted.
