JOHN MCFARLAND, City Administrator; RHONDA BERRY, Assistant City Administrator; LINDA COHEN, City Attorney; LUCY LAUTERBACH, Council Analyst; ROSS EARNST, Public Works Director; RON CAMERON, City Engineer; DOUG MICHEAU, Public Works Coordinator; DON WILLIAMS, Parks Recreation Director; STEVE LANCASTER, DCD Director. Randy Berg, Public Works Project Manager, presented a conceptual design of the new Fire Station #53 and invited public comments. None. The Mayor commented that he would like to discuss the contingency money issue with Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, prior to making a final decision on the award. Ross Earnst, Public Works Director, explained that the project to transfer water service from Seattle to Tukwila for the East Marginal and Ryan Hill areas has been developed to separate Seattle and Tukwila supply. It contains the waterlines and infrastructure necessary to provide water service that Tukwila will bill for. He said bids were opened on June 20. The engineer's estimate for the project was $3.38 million dollars. Of the nine bids submitted the lowest was by Frank Coluccio at 3.45 million dollars. If everything on the project went perfectly, the utility could probably handle the cost difference between the budget and actual cost. However, the bid does not include any contingency money, and there is a definite possibility something could go wrong on this project.
