CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Strander Blvd/SW 27th St Extension Phase 3 Project
Project No. 98610403
Grant Applications
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Authorize the submittal of a grant application to the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to fund
construction of the Strander Blvd/SW 27th St Extension Phase 3 Project. Also authorize staff to pursue
additional grants and funding, which may include Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), King
County Metro, Sound Transit, UP and BNSF Railroads, Tiger Grants, and the City of Renton.
BACKGROUND
The Strander Blvd Phase 3 Project is currently under design with federal grant funding. Additional
funding is needed for construction. PSRC has issued a Call for Projects inviting qualified applicants to
apply for available grant funds. Current City policy requires approval by the appropriate Committee
before applying for grants. The final grant application is due April 19, 2018.
DISCUSSION
In 2016, Tukwila submitted an application to PSRC for the Strander Blvd Extension Phase 3 Project.
While it was unsuccessful, Strander was the highest scoring project that was not selected for funding.
City staff met with the PSRC to discuss the project and how it could be improved for successful funding.
Changes have been incorporated to the project design and the funding package to improve the success
of obtaining a grant. PSRC appears particularly interested in this project as it has been deemed a
project of "Regional Significance". The amount of the PSRC grant request would be $4.76 million.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Strander Blvd/SW 27th St Extension Phase 3 Project is included on the City's CIP. PSRC funding
requires a minimum 20% local match from the City. Current funding for the construction phase includes
FMSIB, WSDOT Transportation Budget, and Fastlane grants amounting to $10.5 million. Significant
additional funding will be required from multiple sources to insure project viability (attached draft CIP
page).
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval to submit a 2018 grant application to PSRC for the construction phase of the
Strander Blvd Extension Phase 3 Project and allow staff to pursue additional grants and funding as
needed.
