INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Robin Tischmak, Acting Public Works Director
BY: Steve Carstens, Senior Program Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: January 19, 2018
SUBJECT: Boeing Access Road Bridge over Airport Way Seismic Retrofit
Project No. 91310407
Acceptance of BRAC Grant Funding
ISSUE
Accept a federal grant from the Bridge Replacement Advisory Council (BRAC) to provide seismic
upgrades for the Boeing Access Road Bridge (BAR) over Airport Way in the amount of $2,981,055.00.
BACKGROUND
The BAR is the principal arterial connecting I-5 and East Marginal Way South. It is considered regionally
significant and is included on the National Highway System (NHS) for access to the Boeing Company
and the King County Airport at Boeing Field. The BAR Bridge over Airport Way is the only remaining
structure on the BAR corridor that has not been seismically upgraded. This improvement would allow the
entire corridor to be seismically resistant during a seismic event.
DISCUSSION
In 2017 the City applied for BRAC grant funds to construct seismic improvements to the BAR Bridge over
Airport Way and was subsequently selected for funding. City policy requires Council acceptance of grant
funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The federal funding letter states that the project requires a 13.5% local match, but if construction is
authorized by December 2020, the project is eligible for 100% federal funding. We see no impediment
to successfully complete the project by 2020 and receive 100% funding, up to the allowable $3 million.
Federal Funds City Funds Total
BAR Bridge over Airport Wy $2,981,055.00 $0.00 $2,981,055.00
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to accept the federal BRAC grant award in the amount of $2,981,055.00 and
consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the February 5, 2018 Regular Meeting.
