EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK FOR PRELIMINARY DESIGN, ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCUMENTATION AND RIGHT -OF -WAY PLANNING
CITY OF TUKWILA STRANDER AVENUE GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The cities of Renton and Tukwila have been working in partnership to complete a connection of
Strander Boulevard in the City of Tukwila with Southwest 27th Street in the City of Renton. As
lead agency for the first two phases of the project, the City of Renton completed an
undercrossing of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway in 2014, connecting
Southwest 27th Street with the Tukwila Sound Transit Station. The City of Tukwila will
complete Phase 3 of the project as shown in Figure 1.
In order to reduce the cost of the first two phases of the project, the BNSF undercrossing was
completed by installing a pump station to pump both stormwater and groundwater entering
the roadway excavation from the surrounding area. This was envisioned as an interim
condition until construction of a full, four -lane arterial connection of Strander to Southwest
276th. The full build -out was anticipated to require the construction of watertight walls and a
bottom seal for the underpasses.
The proposed Phase 3 would complete an undercrossing of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)
and, as a minimum, a two -lane arterial connection of Southwest 27th Street to Strander and to
the West Valley Highway. The arterial would be widened to four lanes if funding allows as
shown in Figure 1. Phase 3 of the project will continue to use the interim groundwater pumping
system if possible. Therefore, a key issue for the design of development of Phase 3 is to confirm
the amount of groundwater that will be encountered by completing Phase 3 and establishing a
plan for managing the groundwater.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Phase 3 of the project will be implemented in five design sub phases (A, B, C, D, and E) as
funding is made available. The anticipated project design phases will be as described below.
This scope of work addresses only the first two phases (Phases 3A and 3B). Phases 3C, 3D, and
3E will be provided as supplemental services when and /or if funding is made available. The
completion of Phases 3A and 3B is anticipated to provide a design that is, in many respects,
approximately 50% complete, but may include elements that are not less than 30% complete.
This level of design completion will result in a "shovel ready" project that includes all the
information necessary to confirm the plan for managing groundwater, complete a reevaluation
of the environmental documentation for the project, and initiate the acquisition of right -of -way
(ROW) for the project.
Phase 3A - Preliminary Design
During Phase 3A, BergerABAM (hereinafter referred to as "CONSULTANT ") will work with
the CI'T'Y and UPRR to determine the footprint of the project; establish a groundwater
management strategy; identify an approach to anticipated utility relocations; identify the
location of the shoofly required to construct the underpass; and update the planning level
project cost estimate and budget completed previously. The key deliverables of this phase will

be a design memorandum /report confirming the groundwater management strategy for the
project and a conceptual railroad bridge design submittal to UPRR for their review and
approval of the proposed project. The conceptual design submittal to UPRR will fulfill the
requirements of Table 3 -2 of the BNSF -UPRR Guidelines for Railroad Grade Separation Projects
(1/24/2007), and will be used in establishing a Preliminary Engineering Agreement with UPRR.
It is anticipated that these products would establish the location, as well as the preliminary
extent and size of all project features in sufficient detail to identify ROW needs, and to estimate
quantities of work required to construct the project. It is anticipated that these products would
provide the necessary information required for the CITY to confirm /update its planning level
cost estimate and define potential funding partnerships.
Phase 3A Early Start Activities - Tasks 11, 12, and 13 are the key tasks required for determining
the groundwater management strategy. The costs for completing only these tasks have been
identified in Exhibit B to allow the CITY to authorize them separately from remainder of the
Phase 3A preliminary design effort.
Phase 3B - Environmental Documentation and Thirty Percent Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates (PS &E)
The purpose of Phase 3B will be to begin the preparation of construction contract documents
and provide the detailed information required to complete a revaluation of the existing NEPA
and SEPA environmental documentation of the proposed project.
Phase 3B will also finalize all required ROW and easements for the project, prepare ROW plans,
and obtain approval of the 30 percent UPRR bridge from UPRR. This approval is the key
approval required from the railroad and will allow the construction plans to be completed and
a construction and maintenance agreement to be finalized with UPRR in later phases of the
project.
The key deliverables of this phase will include preliminary engineering anticipated to represent
an approximate 30 percent complete set of PS &E; updates to all NEPA and SEPA environmental
documentation; 90 percent complete right -of -way plans and a 30 percent design submittal to
UPRR for their review and approval of the underpass construction methods and details of the
UPRR overpass.
Phase 3C - Right -of -Way Acquisition
Phase 3C will acquire the ROW, and obtain certification of the ROW from WSDOT Local
Programs if required. This phase may also include additional work on the construction
documents, as required to complete the ROW plans, culminating in 60 percent PS &E, and
submittal to UPRR for review and approval. This phase is not included in this scope of work,
but will be provided as supplemented services if requested.
Phase 3D - Construction Documents
Phase 3D will complete the construction documents, culminating in 90 percent PS &E, 100
percent PS &E, and Ad Ready submittals to the CITY, WSDOT, and UPRR for review and

approval. This phase would culminate with a signed construction agreement from UPRR and a
construction contract complete and ready for bidding. This phase is not included in this scope
of work, but will be provided as supplemented services if requested.
Phase 3E — Construction
Phase 3E will construct the project. This phase would include Ad, Bid, and Award services;
construction contract administration; inspection and engineer of record (EOR) services required
to respond to contractors questions (RFIs); and review design - related submittals. This phase is
not included in this scope of work, but will be provided as supplemented services if requested.
PROPOSED BASIS OF DESGIN FOR PHASES 3A AND 3B
Phase 3 of the Strander Grade Separation Project will place Strander Boulevard beneath the
UPRR tracks by extending the excavation for the BNSF underpass to the west and under the
UPRR. Since the water table is only about 10 feet below the existing track grade, the
undercrossing will utilize the pumping system constructed as part of the first two phases of the
project to pump stormwater for the proposed Phase 3 extension to the existing pond, which
may need to be enlarged. Other modifications to the existing drainage system, including
modifications to the pump station and water collection system constructed by the CITY, may be
required.
Groundwater will be separated from the stormwater and an additional, new groundwater
pumping system will be used to pump groundwater to an outfall in the Green River. The
discharge location has yet to be determined. The roadway section will be established in
consultation with the CITY and is anticipated to be similar to the two -lane roadway section
constructed by the City of Renton. Other features of the project include modifications to access
several businesses located to the west of the UPRR, and utility relocations, permanent or
interim, and /or protection.
SCHEDULE (see attached schedules)
The target dates for completing Phases 3A and 3B are shown on the attached schedule. These
target dates assume that the notice to proceed (NTP) for Phase 3A is provided on 18 January
2016. These dates are the basis for the scope and fee estimates for Phases 3A and 3B. However,
issuance of the NTP for Phase 3B is contingent on the results of Phase 3A and the confirmation
of the groundwater management strategy based on pumping, as opposed to the construction of
watertight underpass structures. It is recognized by both parties that scope of work and level of
effort for Phase 3B may change as a result of work completed in Phase 3A. The attached
schedule also shows a preliminary schedule for Phases 3, 4, and 5. The schedule for these
phases will be finalized in future supplements.
SUBCONSULTANTS
The following subconsultants will participate in the delivery of this scope of work as follows.
• Fehr & Peers - Traffic Engineering

PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS
The following list is included to confirm the understanding between the CITY and the
CONSULTANT and will be used to guide the work.
1. Throughout this scope of work, it is understood that the CITY will provide the
CONSULTANT with one set of consolidated review comments for each draft review
round. The CONSULTANT will respond to the comments and incorporate the agreed -
upon resolution into the final document(s).
2. All design, including 30 percent Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS &E) will be
based on an interim project configuration consisting of two lanes in an open cut. All
design will be forward compatible, as much as practical, with a four lane, water -tight
facility consisting of a bottom seal and retained cuts.
3. The roadway section will be a two -lane roadway, with a center turn lane if appropriate,
and will be determined in consultation with the CITY. The project underpass
configuration will be in accordance with the CONSULTANT's concept design described
previously in the Project Implementation Section, but will include a UPRR bridge that
would accommodate full build out of the roadway section without significant structural
modifications to the UPRR bridge.
4. The underpass will not be watertight and it is assumed that the groundwater from the
underpass can be discharged in an environmental- acceptable fashion that involves
discharging into the Green River through a new outfall.
5. UPRR may require a separate utility agreement for the new discharge line described
above. The cost for obtaining this are not included in the scope of work.
6. It is assumed the City of Renton and WSDOT will allow the CITY to use the Springbrook
Creek wetland mitigation bank constructed by the City of Renton and WSDOT.
7. Stormwater treatment will be consistent with the Washington State Department of
Ecology's (WDOE) Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, February
2005, and the Flow Control Guidance for Highly Urbanized Areas, May 2006.
8. The City will need to establish a Preliminary Engineering Agreement with UPRR and
reimburse UPRR for their review time.
9. It is assumed that CONSULTANT will design the new UPRR overpass, as well as the
proposed shoofly. It is assumed that UPRR will provide comments to the
CONSULTANT in a timely manner to facilitate the CONSULTANT's design of project.

10. Utility relocation and reconstruction plans for power, gas, and communication
purveyors will be prepared by the respective utility. The CONSULTANT will
coordinate directly with the utility companies and the CITY.
11. Primary survey control will be based upon found monuments with published values.
Monuments of any kind will not be set as part of this effort. If additional work is
required, this work will be billed as an extra to the contract as a directed service.
12. It is assumed that enough monumentation still exists to determine the necessary
boundaries for this project's efforts. If additional work, such as exhaustive title research
and complete section breakdown work is required, a portion of that work may be billed
as an extra to the contract as directed services.
13. Public utility locating services provided by callbeforeyoudig.org will be utilized to do an
initial location of utilities in the public ROW. A private utility locating company is
included in this proposal, to provide complete information to verify the location of
publicly and privately owned buried utilities (sanitary, storm, water, power, gas,
telecommunications, etc.) with painted locate marks.
14. Underground utility potholing is not included in this proposal. If potholing is required,
it will be performed in subsequent phases of the design work.
15. The CITY will provide complete title report guarantees, with supporting documents, for
those parcels affected by this project that require the conveyance of real property rights.
16. Additional support for vacations of existing ROW or boundary line adjustments (BLA)
of resulting parcels is not included in this proposal as it is not quantifiable without
knowing the design. If these services are required, those services will be billed as an
extra to the contract as directed services.
17. The CITY will provide right -of -entry onto private lands prior to field survey crew
visitation, environmental explorations, and geotechnical investigations, including
drilling.
18. Coordinate mapping values will be based upon a "project datum" being a ground
realization of state plane grid coordinates.
19. Preparing and recording a Record of Survey (ROS) is not included in this proposal. If
additional work is required, this work will be billed as an extra to the contract as a
directed service.

meeting is to inform them of the project, discuss impacts to the utilities based on the
preliminary conceptual construction staging, discuss utility upgrades, determine existing utility
easements, and to get initial feedback on the utilities' concerns and their anticipated level of
effort for the project.
Based on utility company feedback from the utility coordination meeting, the CONSULANT
shall develop utility construction staging and relocation concepts. The concepts will be
incorporated into the draft utility relocation /protection conceptual design for CITY and utility
review. All comments will be consolidated into a single set of comments by the CONSULTANT.
As part of the effort described above, the CONSULTANT will facilitate one additional
coordination meeting with each of the utility companies, which will be held at the CITY. The
purpose of this coordination meeting is to present the proposed utility relocation plan and to
get final feedback on the utilities' concerns and their anticipated level of effort for the project.
Because it may not be possible to have all the utilities present at one time, an allowance has
been made for at least one separate meeting with each utility.
It is assumed the respective utility owners will provide timely concurrence on relocation plans
for all utilities and will provide design of the relocation to the CITY and CONSULTANT in
subsequent phases of the project. The CONSULTANT shall assist the CITY in preparing any
necessary agreements by providing a memorandum documenting proposed relocation plans
and including meeting minutes and other correspondence generated by the utility coordination
effort.

documentation needs updating, and the projects NEPA and SEPA determinations need to be
updated, prior to the next federal action.
Widener & Associates will provide design assistance and early agency coordination during
Phase 3A of the project. Early input into the formation of project alternatives will be provided
to ensure each alternative includes provisions to minimize impacts to the surrounding
environment. This coordination within the various design elements of the project will identify
and incorporate minimization measures early in the alternative development phase of the
project and will ensure that an appropriate range of stormwater and groundwater management
alternatives are developed prior to agency coordination.
Subtask 8.1 Design Assistance and Early Agency Coordination
The CONSULTANT, with assistance from Widener & Associates, will assist the CITY in
presenting the alternatives to both the state and federal permitting agencies to identify the
regulatory issues associated with each alternative. Potential minimization measures for each
alternative will also be identified during the coordination with agency representatives. All
permitting issues and the recommended permitting process for the preferred alternative will be
documented in the project design report. It is assumed that this effort will be accomplished
with graphics and design drawings required to complete the design report and to conduct the
open houses, and that no other special presentation materials are required.

conditions and updated groundwater modeling, the CONSULTANT will provide geotechnical
engineering recommendations for design of the project. Recommendations would include
foundations, walls, temporary shoring, settlement, stability, seismic considerations, and
groundwater flow /seepage.
Subtask 11.1 Subsurface Explorations and Testing
Shannon & Wilson (S &W) will prepare a subsurface exploration plan for obtaining additional
subsurface information for Phase 3 of the project. The plan will include proposed exploration
type, location, depth, and any proposed field testing. The subsurface exploration plan would
likely include drilling three soil borings, installing groundwater monitoring wells in each
boring, and performing seven cone penetration test (CPT) soundings. One boring would extend
to a depth of 200 feet, and two borings would extend to depths of about 100 feet. The CPT
soundings would extend to depths of about 75 feet.
Soil borings would be used to obtain soil samples for geotechnical and environmental
laboratory testing. Samples from the borings would be obtained in accordance with the
Standard Penetration Test (SPT), generally at 2.5 -foot intervals in the upper 20 feet and 5 -foot
intervals thereafter. Where near - surface soft, compressible soil (e.g., soft clay) is encountered, it
would be sampled using a relatively undisturbed sampler (e.g., Shelby tube) so that advanced
geotechnical laboratory testing (e.g., consolidation or triaxial tests) could be performed. Drilling
spoils would be placed in drums and disposed of based on the results of subsequent
environmental testing.
CPT soundings would be used to obtain continuous data about soil strength and stiffness. At
two locations during each sounding, a dissipation test would be performed to evaluate soil
compressibility. Soil shear wave velocity measurements would be taken in two of the
soundings to evaluate soil stiffness. At least one CPT sounding would be performed adjacent to
a soil boring so that the soil units in each exploration could be correlated.
S &W would install groundwater monitoring wells in each boreholes. The monitoring wells will
be completed as 2- inch - diameter PVC casing (from ground surface to 20 feet) and screen (from
30 to 40 feet). In one borehole, S &W will also install a vibrating wire piezometer at a depth of
15 feet to record groundwater levels in near - surface soft, compressible soil. The wells will be
capped with a monument that will contain a datalogger, which will continuously monitor
groundwater levels.
S &W would slug test the three monitoring wells to evaluate soil groundwater flow
characteristics (e.g., permeability). S &W would perform a pumping test in the test well to more
thoroughly evaluate groundwater and aquifer hydrogeologic characteristics and recharge
influence of the Green River and stormwater pond. A groundwater sample would be taken
from each well and sent to a subconsultant laboratory for environmental testing.
An S &W representative will collect soil samples and prepare a log of each boring (the pumping
test borehole would not be logged). Samples will be brought to the S &W laboratory for

geotechnical testing, and sent to a subconsultant laboratory for environmental testing.
Geotechnical laboratory testing will include visual classification, moisture content
determinations, grain size analyses, Atterberg limit tests, consolidation tests, and triaxial
strength tests. The S &W Seattle laboratory will perform the tests according to ASTM
International standard test procedures.
Assumption(s)
• All field explorations will be located on public property, or properties that the
CONSULTANT or the CITY has received permission for entry. S &W is not responsible for
obtaining right -of- entry.
• If street -use permits, traffic control, or UPRR flaggers will be required to perform the
subsurface explorations, the CONSULTANT or CITY will plan, coordinate, and procure the
required items. S &W is not responsible for obtaining permits, traffic control, or flaggers.
• To locate utilities on public property, S &W will call the One -Call Utility Locate number; any
private utility location would be done by the CONSULTANT.
• The CONSULTANT or CITY will survey the exploration locations.
Deliverable(s)
• Phase 3 field exploration plan
• Boring logs, CPT logs, and other results from the explorations will be incorporated into the
geotechnical report for Phase 3 of the project.
Subtask 11.2 Update Existing Groundwater Flow Model Structure
During previous project phases, a groundwater flow model ( "the model ") of the project area
was developed to provide input to the design of temporary (construction) and permanent
groundwater control systems. S &W will update the model as described below:
• Incorporate the pond and wetland as explicit source /sink features that enable the model to
represent the interchange of shallow surfacewater and groundwater
• Incorporate findings from the subsurface explorations (Subtask 11.1), including additional
soil structure (hydrostratigraphy) and aquifer properties (hydraulic conductivity, storage
coefficients)
• Add transient boundary conditions to the model so that model inputs (e.g., Green River
stages and precipitation- derived recharge) can be allowed to dynamically vary
• Revise the computational mesh to include model cells with dimensions no more than 10 feet
by 10 feet in the railroad crossing area, to provide a finer resolution of groundwater data at
the railroad crossing
The model will simulate the potential for the pond and wetlands to recharge water, and to
quantify the flow returning directly to the grade separation. The model domain will also be

adjusted to include the river that is approximately 900 feet west of the railroad crossing as a
recharge (constant head) boundary.
Deliverable(s)
• None
Subtask 11.3 Update Groundwater Flow Model Calibration
For this subtask, S &W will update the groundwater model calibration. The purpose of the
calibration is to establish a model that has an acceptable level of confidence for use as a design -
predicting tool. This will involve adjusting the key model hydraulic parameters and transiently
(time- varying) simulating a specific time period and hydrologic conditions to match
(a) observed groundwater levels in monitoring wells and (b) discharge rates from the extension
underpass structure. We anticipate that the time period will cover the period for which
groundwater collection and stormwater data are available (at least 12 months).
The primary cases to be modeled are
• Base Scenario 1: This scenario represents the surface and groundwater conditions during
late fall and winter seasons. S &W will include Green River stages and precipitation inputs
for two storm events that are followed by dry periods. Pond and wetland will be assumed
full.
• Base Scenario 2: This scenario represents the surface and groundwater conditions during
spring season. S &W will include Green River stages and precipitation inputs for one storm
event followed by a dry period. Pond will be assumed full and wetland water stage will be
reduced.
• Base Scenario 3: This scenario represents the surface and groundwater conditions during
summer and early fall seasons. S &W will include Green River stages and precipitation
inputs for the dry season. Pond will be assumed full and wetland will be assumed dry.
The outcome will be an updated model calibration that more accurately represents the
permanent dewatering and pond infiltration /discharge systems. The updated model would be
used to facilitate the design of Phase 3.
Assumption(s)
• CONSULTANT would support S &W's groundwater flow model calibration by providing
stormwater runoff estimates and pump station interpretation.
Deliverable(s)
• Brief letter presenting a summary of the model update and calibration results (Subtasks 11.2
and 11.3).

Subtask 11.4 Groundwater Flow Model Simulations to Incorporate Phase 3A
Explorations and Proposed Phase 3 Design
For this subtask, S &W will use the updated, calibrated model to simulate the proposed Phase 3
design features. This groundwater flow analyses will be used to prepare the preliminary
drainage and stormwater design for the project.
Inputs for this effort, to be developed as part of Task 12, include the following.
• Underpass permanent dewatering system pumping rates
• Groundwater levels (if available)
• Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces during rainfall events
• Depth and extent of wetland inundation
Up to six scenarios will be run by varying hydraulic conditions of the aquifer, infiltration rate,
river stage, pond /wetland elevations, and geometry (changes in dimension and shape). The
details of these analyses will be determined after reviewing the above base scenarios. Using the
groundwater model, coupled with the results of the hazardous materials memorandum
(Subtask 8.5, by others), S &W would evaluate the potential for contaminate transport during or
after construction.
Deliverable(s)
• A technical memorandum that presents the approach, assumptions, results, and limitations
of the analyses will be provided
Subtask 11.5 Geotechnical Engineering
S &W will perform geotechnical analyses in support of the conceptual engineering design.
These analyses will be based on the subsurface information available from Subtasks 11.1
through 11.3. S &W will prepare a draft report summarizing services provided in Phase 3A and
providing recommendations for the design of the project. Because these analyses will be based
on the limited design information, they will be considered preliminary and subject to revision
following the completion of a more detailed design in Phase 3B. The final report would be
completed in Phase 3B as part of the detailed design effort.
S &W will provide preliminary, conceptual design recommendations in accordance with
applicable standards, including CITY, WSDOT, and UPRR. Phase 3A engineering services will
include
• Evaluate seismic geologic hazards. S &W would provide seismic design spectra in
accordance with applicable standards, and evaluate potential for liquefaction and associated
hazards (e.g., settlement, instability, downdrag loads).
• Evaluate groundwater flow rates. S &W would log the results of the groundwater modeling
to evaluate groundwater inflow rates into the underpass.
• Evaluate construction considerations. S &W would evaluate construction considerations
related to site preparation, earthwork, excavations, and temporary shoring.

• Draft geotechnical report documenting results of the Phase 3 exploration program and
updated groundwater flow modeling, and other geotechnical engineering analyses required
to complete the design of the project.
TASK 12.0 DRAINAGE DESIGN
This task involves engineering and design work to determine the stormwater treatment and
detention requirements for the project; investigate low- impact development (LID) alternatives;
and provide preliminary sizing and a preferred site location for an additional stormwater pond
and outfall to the Green River. The following work will need to be completed for this task.
Subtask 12.1 Calibration of Phase 2 Groundwater Model
Shannon & Wilson shall provide groundwater modeling and infiltration analyses as described
in Task 11. The CONSULTANT will work with Shannon & Wilson to update the Phase 2
groundwater model as described in Task 11. This will include the following.
• Existing dewatering pumping rates (to be provided by the City of Renton)
• Groundwater levels if available (not likely to be available)
• Estimates of stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces during rainfall events
• Estimates of wetland inundation (extent and depth) at various periods of time throughout
the year
• Estimates of the size of the basin draining to the site. Because detailed topo is not available,
basin size will be estimated using judgement to establish boundary conditions for Shannon
& Wilson's groundwater model
The CONSULTANT will estimate the volume of runoff from impervious surfaces feeding the
Strander Grade Separation drainage system. Hourly runoff volumes will be estimated for up to
six different storm events for which corresponding pump station pump rates are available.
These volumes will be subtracted from the pump station volumes to provide an estimate of
total groundwater flowing into the excavation of the grade separation.

Deliverable(s)
• Inputs to groundwater modeling and infiltration analysis as described above and in Task 11.
Subtask 12.2 Phase 3 Stormwater and Groundwater Management /Design Strategy
The CONSULTANT shall use the information from the updated groundwater model developed
in Task 11 to develop the proposed stormwater design for the project. It is assumed that the
outcome of this effort will involve no changes to the existing pond, the possible addition of a
second pond (assuming a suitable location is available), and a new outfall to the Green River. It
is assumed that modifications to the existing stormwater /groundwater system may be required
in order to separate the groundwater from the stormwater.
As part of this effort, the CONSULTANT will develop a Stage- Storage- Discharge Rating table
for the wetland adjacent to the pond. The extent of wetland inundation is not precisely known.
It will be assumed the wetland is discharging to the existing pipe under the BNSF railroad
embankment. Water levels in the pond will be assumed based on visual observations of the
wetland during the winter of 2014/2015 and again in the winter of 2015/2016.
The CONSULTANT will provide the CITY with the layout of the preliminary conceptual
drainage design for discussion and review. CITY comments will be incorporated into the
conceptual drainage design. The drainage research, requirements, calculations, and
assumptions will be documented in a draft drainage memo. The drainage design report will
summarize the estimated flows from all sources, identify treatment and detention methods, and
provide preliminary conveyance design for all flows. CITY will provide one round of review
comments that will be incorporated into the final drainage memo.
Deliverable(s)
• Preliminary conceptual drainage design
• Draft drainage memo
• Final drainage memo
TASK 13.0 PUMP STATION
It is assumed that the existing pump station has sufficient capacity to pump the anticipated
groundwater and stormwater flows from the completed Phase 3 project. This will be confirmed
by comparing pump run -time and flow metering records with rainfall data. The CITY will
provide the CONSULANT with pump run -time and flow metering records for existing pump
station. However, it is assumed that a separate pumping system will be required for the
groundwater. This task will use the results of Tasks 11 and 12 to verify this assumption and
identify any changes that may be required to the existing system in order to accommodate
and /or separate the groundwater flows from the stormwater for both the existing and proposed
construction.
This task would also select a route for the proposed groundwater discharge to the Green River
and size the discharge pipe. It is assumed that up to two alternative routes may be evaluated in

consultation with the CONSULTANT's environmental subconsultant and CITY. The location,
approximate size, and necessary controls for the new groundwater pumping system would be
determined. The new groundwater pumping system will share components of the existing
drainage system and pump station to the extent possible. This task will also identify any
modifications to the existing drainage system and pump station that may be required to
accommodate the new groundwater pumping system. The CONSULTANT will provide the
CITY with a memorandum outlining the pump station design criteria, proposed changes to the
existing configuration, if necessary, and preliminary construction cost estimate.
Deliverable(s)
• Draft pump station memo

phasing at a conceptual design level. This work will provide the basis for the design report and
conceptual plans also included in this task. This task includes a preliminary evaluation of the
ROW needs for the project, which will require some preliminary coordination with the ROW
subconsultant.
Subtask 14.1 Roadway Geometry
The CONSULTANT will verify and update the roadway alignment, profile grade, and cross
sections to accommodate the proposed interim Phase 3 conditions, as well as a future Phase 4
roadway. The design will be used to prepare the conceptual roadway drawings, develop the
cost estimate, and to support the next phase of the project.
Deliverable(s)
• Preliminary design of the roadway, including driveways and /or approaches to local
businesses as determined in Task 3, to be included in the design report and conceptual plans
Subtask 14.2 Trail Layout
The existing interurban trail parallels the UPRR on the west side of the UPRR and may require
pedestrian bridge over the grade separation, which would affect the profile and length of the
underpass. In order to bring Southwest 27th up to grade in the shortest distance, the trail will
likely need to be rerouted to the west or the east. The CONSULTANT shall investigate up to
three alternative routes and prepare a preliminary layout of the preferred trail route. The trail
shall meet the requirements of the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.
Assumptions(s)
• One round of CITY review comments
• The trail will require a prefabricated bridge over the grade separation. A 30 percent design
of this bridge will be included in Phase 3B

Subtask 6,2 Traffic Study for Environmental Documentation
Fehr & Peers will prepare a traffic study to verify the intersection /roadway geometrics and that
satisfies environmental documentation requirements. This process will consist of the following.
Data Collection
PM peak period traffic counts and traffic signal timing plans will be collected within the study
area that will be defined as part of Phase 3A. For the purpose of budgeting, it is assumed that
the following intersections will be analyzed.
• Strander Blvd and West Valley Highway
• South 180th Street and West Valley Highway
• Southwest Grady Way and West Valley Highway
• Strander Blvd and Andover Park W
• Longacres Way and West Valley Highway
• South 156th Street and West Valley Highway
• Fort Dent Way and Interurban Avenue South
Relatively recent traffic counts during the PM peak hour may have been collected as part of the
Northwest Arena EIS project. To the extent that relevant traffic counts are available, those
counts will be used.
24 -hour tube counts with vehicle classification and average speed for up to 20 locations will also
be collected for the noise and air quality analysis.
The rationale behind the relatively large study area is to understand how traffic patterns will
shift with the completion of the Strander Boulevard extension, understand if there are any
traffic signal timing modifications are warranted at nearby intersections, and to fully capture
the potential environmental impacts of the new traffic pattern.
Traffic Operations Analysis
PM peak hour intersection level of service will be evaluated for the above intersections
according to the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 standards. Traffic operations will be evaluated
using Synchro /SimTraffic software. Scenarios evaluated include existing conditions, the design
concept, and future no action scenarios. A field visit during the peak hours will be conducted to
verify model results.
Operations will be evaluated for existing conditions, year of opening, and a horizon year
determined through coordination with the City staff. The build and no build scenarios will be
evaluated for the opening and horizon year. One option for the horizon year analysis is to
increase traffic volumes until the interim design begins to experience LOS degradation. Based
on growth rates from the City of Tukwila Travel Demand Forecasting model, a "year of failure"
can be identified to determine at which point the full widening project would be warranted.

The future no action scenario is included for environmental documentation purposes. As an
optional task, additional scenarios can also be evaluated to determine potential design
modifications to accommodate events at the Northwest Arena.
Additional data will be documented for the build and no build scenarios to support the noise
and air quality analysis. This includes documenting assumed roadway characteristics, vehicle
speeds, vehicle classification, traffic volumes, and traffic signal characteristics.
Recognizing that this project will seek competitive grant funding, we also propose a greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions /vehicle -miles of travel analysis. This type of analysis can demonstrate
how reduced congestion and less circuitous vehicle circulation can reduce vehicle emissions
and improve area connectivity.
Deliverable(s)
• Memo describing the traffic analysis methods and assumptions.
• Traffic operations report.
• Intersection /signal /channelization design recommendations.
• Coordination to incorporate traffic analysis into environmental noise and air quality
analysis.

Pertinent literature on the archaeology, ethnography, and history of the project area will
be reviewed to determine the existence of archaeological sites and to refine the
probability of archaeological resources and traditional cultural places in the project
areas.
2. The CONSULTANT will maintain contact with the local tribes for any information on
historic Indian use of the project area.
3. A systematic field reconnaissance will be conducted to identify previously recorded
and /or unrecorded archaeological sites for the proposed project where ground -
disturbing activities are expected to take place. Field reconnaissance will consist of the
traverse of pedestrian transects at varying intervals, depending on terrain throughout
the proposed project area. Shovel probes (digging a hole with a shovel) will be
excavated, as deep as feasible, and in areas expected to have a high probability for
cultural resources. Shovel probes will be augmented through auger probes to explore
the deepest possible deposits. Shovel probes will be screened in highly probable areas
and in soil matrixes too dense to identify small chipping debris.
4. All new sites will be mapped, photographed, and recorded on Washington State
Archeological Inventory forms and submitted to the state Office of Archeological and
Historic Preservation (OAHP) for Smithsonian numbers. Every effort will be made to
include Tribal cultural resources personnel in assisting the field effort. Rights -of -entry
will be provided by the CITY.

identified in the project area to meet state and federal standards for reporting as outlined in
the guidelines provided by the OAHP. The report will include summary background
information appropriate to a cultural resources assessment of the project area, including
environment, previous cultural resources studies, ethnography /ethno history, and history.
A discussion of agency and Tribal consultation, methodology, the results of the
investigation, and a map of located archaeological sites will be provided. Recommendations
will also be extended to any cultural resources that may be significant. Monitoring of
construction excavation recommendations may also be included. The historic structures
inventory form and /or archaeological site inventory form will be attached to the report as an

identify potential mitigation measures. The traffic noise report will be developed in accordance
with WSDOT's Environmental Procedures Manual.
1. Sound Level Measurements
After review of the proposed project alternatives, the CONSULTANT shall visit the
project area to identify potentially sensitive noise receivers and to take measurements of
existing sound levels. The CONSULTANT will measure existing noise levels during the
peak hours to be used in calibrating the noise model. Measurements will be undertaken
in accordance with WSDOT and FHWA guidelines and will be made with a Type 1
sound level meter. During these measurements, sources of existing noise and
topographical features will be noted and traffic speeds and vehicle numbers and mix
will be noted.
2. Construction Noise Impact Evaluation
The noise analysis will evaluate potential short -term impacts of noise from construction
activities. Construction noise on nearby sensitive receptors will be evaluated based on
estimates published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of maximum
noise levels of typical construction equipment in conjunction with simple distance
attenuation. Computer modeling of construction noise levels will not be performed.
3. Traffic Noise Impact Evaluation
The CONSULTANT will evaluate traffic noise impacts using the FHWA Traffic Noise
Model (TNM) to estimate future traffic noise levels for the worst -case build alternative.
The worst -case scenario will be selected from among the build alternatives, and will be
chosen based on expected future traffic volumes and the location of the alignment
relative to sensitive receivers. The noise modeling will predict PM peak -hour Leq noise
levels from traffic at a maximum of 15 receptor locations that could be affected by the
proposed project and will consider existing conditions and design year conditions.
Modeling to calculate noise contour lines is not included.
4. Mitigation Analysis
The CONSULTANT will identify mitigation measures to reduce noise levels during
construction. If predicted long -term traffic noise levels from operation of the project
would cause noise impacts, mitigation measures will be developed in cooperation with
the lead agency and design engineers. Mitigation analysis, if required, will include
evaluation of the effectiveness and general size and location of natural and man -made
noise barriers using the TNM model.

Assumptions(s)
• Groundwater seeping into the underpass will not need to be treated, but will be of a
sufficiently low volume that it will not need to be collected and treated separately from the
stormwater runoff from the roadway.
• A dissipation structure will be required where underpass water is pumped into the
detention /treatment pond.
• The CONSULTANT will develop stormwater designs in consultation with CITY staff, but
no more than two stormwater options will be investigated.
• The stormwater design process will include up to three meetings with the CITY and other
involved parties to review and discuss options being considered. One additional meeting
with the CITY will be required to review and discuss comments on the draft drainage
report.
• Once the preferred stormwater design has been agreed upon, the CONSULTANT shall
provide drainage plans and profiles, including layouts and details of any low- impact design
facilities in the 30 percent PS &E submittal.
Deliverable(s)
• Meeting minutes
• Draft and final drainage report (one electronic and two hard copy)
• Preliminary conveyance design with 30 percent PS &E submittal
TASK 13.0 PUMP STATION
This task would advance the design of the pump station sufficiently to finalize pump sizes, and
identify pump manufacturers acceptable to the CITY maintenance staff, and if possible comply
with "Buy American" provisions for this potentially federally funded project. Preliminary
layout of pump facilities and outfall will be established, the discharge route finalized, and
updated cost estimates prepared.
Deliverable(s)
• Preliminary (30 percent PS &E) design plans and cost estimates for the pump station and
groundwater discharge system included with the project submittals described in Task 14
TASK 14.0 ROADWAY DESIGN
This task involves engineering and design work required to advance the design of the
driveways, roadway, utilities, and trail to approximately 30 percent level of design in order to
finalize the geometric design and footprint of the project as required to complete the
environmental documentation for the project. The CONSULTANT shall prepare preliminary
PS &E documents for the construction of the proposed project consistent with City, state, and /or
county design standards. Plans shall be formatted to provide sufficient detail for convenient
field layout of all proposed facilities. City standard details, King County standard plans, and
WSDOT standard plans will be supplemented with project- specific details as required. The

To: Transportation Committee
From: Dennis Robertson, Transportation Chair
Date: January 25, 2016
Subject: Proposed Strander Blvd. Extension Agenda Item
Issue:
Council President Duffie has made it very clear that he expects Committees to
thoroughly review agenda items prior to sending on the entire Council. Thus, I have
the following questions and issues that I believe should be discussed at the February
1, 2016 Transportation Committee meeting. I have requested that this memo be
added to the packet so that the Councilmembers and staff are aware of the
questions.
1. Financial Planning Model Policy FP -5 states that if proposed grants or mitigations
are either reduced or not funded the respective project will be re- evaluated on the
basis of its value and priority level placement in the CIP. So, the following grant and
mitigations status should be reviewed in the Committee meeting:
A. Tiger Grant $20million
B. State Transportation Improv Board $2million
C. Federal STP Grant Through PSRC $3million
D. Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board $5million
E. Northwest Arena mitigation $5million
2. The Committee should discuss this project's priority versus other CIP projects.
3. If engineering is estimated at $5 million exactly what will the proposed $400,000
accomplish and how will that help with the desired grants and mitigations.
3. The Finance Director 7/31/15 memo stated that Strander Project's expected
increased, unplanned budget cost of $300,000 per year would come from increased
revenues and the $2 million from budgetary savings in Arterial Streeet Fund. That
was before the unplanned, unbudgeted $1.3 million reoccurring increases due to
budget overruns in the Police and Fire were identified. How do the $300,000 and $2
million fit into the new budget reality?
