RE: Public Safety Plan
November update
The Project Executive Team (PET) has had another productive month on all fronts. Timely
due diligence, access, and property acquisitions are key to maintaining the Plan's momen-
tum.
FIRE STATIONS
• Site acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for Fire Station 54's property in February or March.
•

Schematic design
Weinstein AU is performing Station 51 schematic design, scheduled for completion by
the end of this year. With input from the GC/CM (Lydig, when approved), the sche-
matic design estimate will be the first "real" number that the Council sees in January.
Sustainability features
The Council can expect to see a short list of sustainability options for Fire Station 51
with their ROM (rough order of magnitude) budgets as schematic design alternates for
GC/CM pricing.
GC/CM approval
On Public Safety's 6 November recommendation, Council approval of Lydig Construc-
tion as GC/CM and Lydig's pre -construction services contract will be sought 20 No-
vember.
Equity/diversity and local participation
Based on a 15 May discussion in Public Safety, the PET is considering piloting a pro-
gram similar to the City of Seattle's: formalized in a Project Labor Agreement (PLA)
and/or Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). The Council needs to weigh the cost
and efficacy of a formal PLA/CWA approach in light of your draft equity policy, your
apprenticeship requirements (Resolution 1814), and the stations' budget stress. Lydig
has a very good track record on GC/CM projects with disadvantaged business enter-
prise and apprenticeship utilization. The topic will return to Public Safety 20 Novem-
ber to discuss staff input on its 31 October meeting with the City of Seattle and alter-
nate approaches.

JUSTICE CENTER
• Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Justice Center's properties in February or March.
•
•
Programming
Pending Public Safety's 4 December recommendation, the Council should expect DLR's
program with an estimate 11 December. This estimate will only be as (un)certain as
Fire Station 51's 2040 programming estimate.
GC/CM authorization and selection
The Justice Center's GC/CM application was submitted 1 November for consideration
30 November by a panel of the State's Project Review Committee. Upon the PRC's ap-
proval, GC/CM selection will begin in December. The Council should expect a recom-
mendation in February.
CONSOLIDATED SHOPS
• Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Shop's properties in February or March.
SCHEDULE
• Tight schedule
The overall schedule remains very ambitious. With so many activities under way, there
is little room for any missteps to meet the Plan's milestones.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
• Due diligence
On Public Safety's 6 November recommendation, Council approval will be sought 20
November on contracts to conduct surveys, environmental reviews, and geotechnical
analyses to prepare for property acquisitions.
BUDGET
Project and program contingencies
Without a budgeted program contingency, there will be pressure on all program ele-
ments' budgets for the life of the Plan. At its 3 October meeting, the Finance Committee
began discussing with staff how to approach the Plan's significant financial gap. The
Committee directed staff to look at all options in conjunction with the development of
the 2019-2020 biennial budget.

Market conditions
Like the Fire Stations, the Justice Center and Consolidated Shops budgets will need to
be sensitive to tight construction market conditions and increasing property values.
These external budget pressures will manifest themselves as property is procured and
project estimates are refined.
