I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Contract Supplements: Interurban Avenue South (South 143rd St. to Fort Dent Wayl
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplement No. 3 with Anchor QEA in the amount of
$200,000 for continued construction management services for the Interurban Avenue South
Project. Construction of this project has been underway since July 2014, and multiple
construction delays and change orders have extended the expected completion date. This time
extension requires additional construction management oversight.
B. Contract Supplement: Interurban Avenue South (South 143rd St. to Fort Dent Wayl
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplement No. 4 to Contract No. 13 -028 with KPG, Inc. in
the amount of $59,045.66 for continued on -call design support services during construction
through the end of March 2016. While KPG shifted their original support budget to compensate
for the slower construction pace, installation of the new waterline and other difficulties
necessitate this additional compensation.
The Committee discussed the project delay and both supplement requests together, asking
additional questions about the delays and the relationship with the contractor. Committee
members agreed with the staff recommendation to forward these to a consent agenda, but
asked that Chair Robertson provide an update to the Council under reports. In addition, the
Committee requested to be kept informed on the project status. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD BOTH SUPPLEMENTS TO FEBRUARY 1, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Cost Estimate: 42nd Avenue South /South 160t" Street Intersection
Design forthe construction ofADA improvements atTukwila's portion ofthis intersection is part
of the 42nd Avenue South Phase III project and is at 90 %. In 2015, the Transportation Committee
learned that the City of SeaTac has no plans for improvements to the intersection quadrants
that are within SeaTac limits, and the members asked staff to investigate options.
Transportation Committee Minutes ...................................................................................... ............................... January 19, 2016
The design consultant team at CH2MHill was asked to provide drawings and cost estimates for
the entire intersection.
Option 1 would cover full intersection improvements and is estimated at $102,807.82. Option
2 would grind and overlay the entire intersection, although sidewalk construction would only
be in Tukwila'sjurisdiction, estimated at $19,318.00. The Committee recommended Option 2.
This item will return to committee in February for approval of the utility undergrounding
agreement. INFORMATION ONLY.
D. Consultant Selection: Strander Boulevard Extension Phase 3
Due to time constraints, staff was unable to present this item to Committee and will present at
the next Transportation Committee. Chair Robertson noted that the City is investigating
multiple topics with significant financial impacts, and while he does not oppose this project, he
is concerned about funding and the City may wish to consider a local improvement district. He
also stated that there is a city financial policy requiring priority re- evaluation of projects that
do not get grant funding. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
