Contract for serv~ willi Freedman, Tung & Bottomley (FTB)
Issue
Staff is requesting Council approval of a contract for services with Freedman Tung & Bottomley
(FTB) to complete the Tukwila Urban Center (ruC) Plan.
Back2:round
The Departments of Community Development and Public Works have been preparing a subarea
plan and associated implementing regulations, a supplemental environmental impact statement,
and a planned action ordinance for the ruc. This plan ,,,ill establish a redevelopment strategy
that maintains the economic viability and regional focus of the ruc, encourages a mix ofland
uses (including housing) with densities supporting bus and commuter rail service, and creates a
more attractive, pedestrian-oriented center.
As part of our staff/consultant ruc planning team, FTB has provided technical assistance with
land use and urban design issues related to the planning of the Tukwila Urban Center (ruC). In
2004, FTB delivered a preliminary draft plan, development standards and design guidelines that
implement the preferred future vision for the ruc. This preferred vision was developed during
seven public workshops and two joint City CouncillPlanning Commission Worksessions. Since
that time, the project was delayed due to loss of staff and time spent on other competing planning
issues such as Tukwila Valley South. The delay was also required to allow more time for an in-
depth staff review of the implementing regulations, which are in a new form-based code format.
Discussion
The proposed scope of services will bring the final plan to adoption. The scope includes
preparing the next draft of the Plan and development regulations for public review and hearings;
additional worksessions for the public, Planning Commission, and City Council; and preparing
and publishing the [mal document. There is a remaining professional services credit for
uncompleted tasks from the previous contract with FTB. After subtracting this credit from the
total budget for the new scope of work contract, the total cost for this contract is $81,540.00.
This amount will be fully funded by the existing ruc grant.
Recommendation
Forward FTB's contract for ruc Plan services to the Committee of the Whole for consideration
at their February 25, 2008 meeting.
