The Service results were as follows: Alternate I Alternate 2 Allcare Building Maintenance 1,527.00 0 Royal Maintenance Company 3,032.50 3,282.50 He explained that the cost using Allcare's bid of $1,527.00 per month projected over a one -year period would be $18,324.00, and with the expected cost of $3,000 for supplies for a year, the final cost is approximately $21,323.00. Mr. Monaghan recommended that the janitorial services contract be awarded to the low bidder, Allcare Building Maintenance in the amount of $1,527.00 per month. He reminded Council that the contract includes a thirty -day cancellation clause which allows the City to terminate the contract for non performance with a thirty -day notice. Councilman Van Dusen said he is concerned about the type of people that will be going into the building and he wondered if there was any investigation into the type of people they hire. Are there any security clearances or bonds required? Mr. Monaghan said they are bonded but there is no security clearance. He discussed this with the Police Chief and there are some additional require- ments when they are working around the police area. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING September 5, 1978 Page 2 BID OPENINGS AND AWARDS Cont. Bid Award: Planting and Irrigation of City Hall Site PUBLIC HEARINGS 22'/3 Bid Award: Councilman Van Dusen said we have an open concept space upstairs; can you Janitorial leave items out on the work tables? Mr. Monaghan said it should be a Service practice to secure everything at night. By the very nature of the Cont. janitorial industry, the employees are somewhat transient. Mr. Mark Stevens, Royal Maintenance Company, offered to answer any questions Council has concerning the business. He commented that the industry, at the present time, is having a problem in getting personnel. Councilman Van Dusen asked Mr. Stevens why their company's bid is so much higher? Mr. Stevens said with his past experience, there is no way possible that Allcare can provide the services outlined in the specifica- tions. He cited the labor costs for his personnel. Mr. Monaghan said they have talked with customers of Allcare and they are satisfied with the service they are getting. Councilman Van Dusen asked what the nightly jobs will be in City Hall so Mr. Monaghan reviewed them. Councilman Van Dusen commented that he is not convinced they can do all of that for the price. Councilman Saul commented that each company has different expenses and he is willing to try the low bidder. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL AWARD THE BID TO ALLCARE BUILDING MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. Councilman Van Dusen agreed with Councilman Saul but said he is still not convinced they can do it so he will vote no. Councilman Bohrer said the difference in price is substantial and he didn't really feel Council has a choice but to try it. Councilman Hill asked what level they are bonded for on their job perform- ance? Mr. Monaghan said the amount is not specified but the contract requires a bond. Councilman Harris said she feels as Council people they are bound to go wit!' the lowest responsible bidder. MOTION CARRIED WITH HILL AND VAN DUSEN VOTING NO. Mayor Bauch noted that the bids were opened but so far the recommendation on the contractor had not been received back from the Landscape Architect. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM. MOTION CARRIED. Use of Revenue Mayor Bauch announced that the law requires that cities hold Public Sharing Funds Hearings on the possible use of their Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. This hearing is to allow citizen input. The anticipated funds to be received in 1979 is $78,194.00. It has been the practice of the City to use Revenue Sharing Funds for capital equipment or other one -time items. Mayor Bauch declared the Public Hearing open. Three offers were made allowing anyone to speak. There being no audience comment, the Public Hearing was closed.

MOTION CARRIED. Deputy City Attorney Hard read a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Developers Agreement with Southcenter Investors. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ. Councilman Hill questioned the 40 -foot road width proposed for Christenson Road and stated that the ordinance requires a 50 -foot road right -of -way. Mr. Monaghan agreed that the Short Plat Ordinance requires a 50 -foot right -of -way with 48 -foot paving. This development is being developed under the short plat. In July, Council accepted a portion of property for park purposes from this developer. Mr. Hard reminded Council that he did this of his own free will without any consideration. This should cause no problem. Councilman Hill said he does not want to put Council in the position to be criticized. The open of the road does not bother him as long as it is wide enough and built according to City standards. Councilman Van Dusen said he is also concerned about the width of the street. Mr. Monaghan said the Developers Agreement should read that they will develop the street to City standards. The Short Plat Ordinance specifies a cul -de -sac will be built with a 48 -foot roadway with a 50 -foot right -of- way. Mr. Dick Reeves, Wilsey and Ham, said the existing right -of -way of Christenson Road is 40 feet. Their proposal is to go approximately 250 feet to a cul -de -sac and add a 10 -foot utility easement on the east. The cul -de -sac is big enough for Fire Department use. The only trucks they anticipate are delivery trucks or an occasional moving van. The Short Plat Ordinance approval indicated that the street section would be for sidewalks and utilities with a 36 -foot pavement. Mr. Al Murry, Jemma Associates, said they have a warehouse that would join the south end of this proposal and they would be interested in seeing the road continue down to the back of their property. Councilman Bohrer asked if the 10 feet they are dedicating extends north of Baker Boulevard, and Mr. Reeves said it does. Councilman Saul asked if the street parking can be controlled? Mr. Monaghan said in this case, you can prohibit it by signs. Mr. Monaghan suggested it be studied more to see if 40 feet is adequate or not adequate. Councilman Traynor asked what the City standards are for this street? Mr. Monaghan said 48 feet for a cul -de -sac allows for exceptions with the approval of the Council. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING September 5, 1978 Page 5 RESOLUTIONS Cont. Proposed resolu- tion Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Developers Agreement with Southcenter Investors. Cont. RECESS: 8:40 P.M. 8:50 P.M. Resolution #645 Authorizing the Mayor to sign a joint Housing and Community Development Block Grant Application Resolution #646 Accepting dona- tions for the Fire Department Aid Car. 22/16 Councilman Harris asked why they are not utilizing the whole 50 feet? The 36 feet plus five feet still leave nine feet; what are they doing with this? Mr. Reeves explained that the roadway will be 37 feet to the back of the curb plus a five foot sidewalk. They are staying back from the property lines about three feet and grading and utilities will take room. This road will serve only offices; there doesn't seem to be any purpose in building more street than you need. There are space constraints there; they have to raise the grade to elevation 28. Mr. Monaghan told Council that the minimum standards do not allow for sidewalks. Councilman Bohrer said he has seen trucks using Christenson Road to the north from Baker Boulevard and he wondered if wider road isn't required? Mr. Monaghan said some of them are using it as free parking area. Mr. Stanely Piha said he believes the road is signed to prohibit truck traffic. Councilman Bohrer said that if the use of the property is changed sometime in the future or the traffic pattern changed, it may lead to more traffic in the area and this needs to be planned for. Mr. Piha stated that the developer has two options, improve the road that exists or leave that road and build internal streets. With the trail proposed along the dyke, the existing Christenson Road is no longer needed and can he available to the lots. Councilman Hill said trading the river dyke for Christenson Road is a good trade. He suggested it might be a good idea to develop the whole street, not just part of it. Mayor Bauch reminded Council that this street is not one of the City's priorities. The developer is only going to extend the street as far as they need it.

Mayor's Report Mayor Bauch reported that Mr. Lloyd Hartong has resigned from the Planning Commission Planning Commission. He asked if anyone had any suggestions for a new Member member to submit them to him. Mayor Bauch said the Police Guild has asked about the placement of vending machines for new city hall. He talked to the architect and it would cost $475 to provide electricity and water to the storage room where the machines will be placed. He did not recommend that the general contractor do this. It should come out of the profits from the machines. Councilman Saul asked to have the Police Guild informed that they will have the vendor install the connections. Councilman Traynor agreed that the City should not pay for the pipe and wiring. City Hall Move Mayor Bauch announced that September 18 is the date planned for the move to city hall, September 29 the date for the open house and October 2 for the first regular Council meeting to be held in the new building.

They have people interested in bidding on the property but they want to know if they have to go through the waiver procedure. We need to cooperate with these people.
