I.ANNOUNCEMENT
II.BUSINESS AGENDA
Contract: General Contractor/Construction Management for Justice Center
A.
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with BNBuilders, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$240,000.00 for preconstruction services for the Justice Center project in the Public Safety Plan.
BNBuilders was selected from seven proposals and three interviews due to its strengths and
qualifications, including its successful delivery of a similar project at the University of
Washington. was
involved in the selection process and also recommends approval of the contract. In this phase,
BNBuilders will review drawings and specifications to advise and make recommendations on
construction feasibility. Pre-construction also includes estimating, value engineering,
scheduling, identification and organization of subcontract packages, procurement strategies,
and labor and material condition analysis. Councilmember Robertson asked when the next
decision point will be after pre-construction services are complete. Ms. Kim responded that will
come at 90% completion of the construction documents phase, approximately a year from
now. Due to the cancellation of the March 12, 2018 Committee of the Whole for lack of quorum,
this item will be discussed at the March 19 Regular Meeting. Chair Hougardy requested that staff
provide the documents to the full Council via email to provide adequate review time.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 19, 2018 REGULAR MEETING.
Public Safety Plan Due Diligence Contracts
B.
Staff is seeking Council approval to amend the due diligence contracts associated with the
Public Safety Plan project properties, which were executed in 2017 to provide geotechnical,
environmental, and surveying services. Because there are often unknowns associated with
these services, new information and/or additional work has been discovered for each contract
as outlined in the memo. The requested amendments plus contingencies total $57,325.00.
Councilmember McLeod asked what the consequence would be for not approving the revised
scopes of work, and Mr. Baxter replied that the City would be purchasing properties with
incomplete information that could result in higher costs later. Councilmember Robertson

pointed out that the additional $57,325.00 constitutes a 20% increase. Mr. Goldblatt expressed
his support for the contract amendments as a good investment for the City. As with the previous
item, Chair Hougardy requested the full Council be emailed the documents to allow adequate
review time prior to the March 19, 2018 Regular Meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO MARCH 19, 2018 REGULAR MEETING.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Update.
C.

program initiated by the Police Department in 2017. UAS devices are being used for crime scene
mapping, accident response, SWAT incidents, and more. The briefing included the timeline,
communications and outreach, challenges, and opportunities. The Police Department is
highly satisfied with the program and is now considered a regional leader in this area.
