Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 2 of 9 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, GRANTING A NON-EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE TO SEATTLE SMSA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, D/B/A VERIZON WIRELESS, LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IN THE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY IN THE CITY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MOVED BY MCLEOD, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Lelah Vaga, Network Engineer with Verizon Wireless, utilized an electronic presentation to provide an overview of the Small Cell Program. Why the Need? • From 2010-2016, mobile data use is up by 35% • 52% of American households are wireless only • Average American household has 13 connected devices • 92% of millennials have a smartphone • 76% of 911 calls originate from a cell phone • Machine to machine connections are projected to increase from 36 million in 2013 to 263 million in 2018 What is the Impact of Insufficient Capacity? • Slow data speeds • Increased video load times • Disruption to video calls • Dropped or incomplete calls • Connection problems Macro Cells are the backbone of the network • Macro sites will continue as the primary coverage tool • Small cells are not needed everywhere Why Deploy Small CeII? • Gaps in Coverage - Small cells will add additional capacity with an average approximate range of 400-1000 feet • Terrain Challenges • Tall Buildings • Large Residential Areas Small cells will reach residential areas where adequate capacity has not been achieved Small CeII Components • Fiber & Coax Conduit • Power Conduit • Power Disconnect • Antennas • Dark Fiber (leased from 3rd party) • Radios and Fiber Termination Box Concerns regarding Interference with other technologies • Supporting public safety is a high priority • Interference with equipment also interferes with performance • Testing for interference is part of the installation, to include continual monitoring • Service assurance technicians make changes and replace equipment as necessary • Existing macro site networks are not in the same places as macros sites of competitors Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 3 of 9 First Projects in Tukwila • Hampton Heights — Node 11, Node 13, Node 5 • After approval of the franchise, Verizon must utilize the City's permit process for Type 2 land use decisions, which includes review of FCC safety requirements and design restrictions. In response to questions from Councilmember Robertson: Question: With the soft cell installations occurring on power poles, what happens if the electricity in an area has been undergrounded? Response from Ms. Vaga: The franchise agreement has a provision that the City may require Verizon to remove the equipment in the event of improvements in the right-of-way. Verizon would redesign to co - locate on whatever above ground structures may be in the area. If there are no above ground options, Verizon would look to install small-cell only poles, similar to a light standard. Question: This would be at no cost to the City? Response from Ms. Vaga: Correct (no cost to the City). In response to questions from Councilmember Kruller: Question: So, PSE (Puget Sound Energy) poles will be used in the initial installation of approximately 50 sites? Response from Ms. Vaga: Approximately 50 would primarily be PSE poles, and some City poles may be used as well. Question: In neighborhoods with Seattle City Light (SCL) poles, will there be work in those areas? Response from Ms. Vaga: While Verizon does deploy on SCL poles, Verizon radio frequency engineers have identified the first needs in Tukwila to be in areas with PSE poles. Question: How tall is the pole (in the electronic presentation) and is that planned for a Tukwila neighborhood? Response from Ms. Vaga: The existing pole is around 90 feet and that is the standard range. Verizon did not impact the pole height, and there is no intention of putting that in a Tukwila neighborhood for small cell installation, which has a target height of 20-40 feet. The reason to go higher occurs if the pole owner requires it, which can happen on PSE poles and could cause an increase up to 50 feet. While that is not anticipated to happen in Tukwila at this time, since this is a long-term agreement, it is important for the City to be aware of the possibilities. There is nothing in the Tukwila Municipal Code at this time that is prohibitive for Verizon's initial deployment plan. Question: Do you have an agreement with Renton at this time? Response from Ms. Vaga: Verizon does not have an agreement yet and are in negotiations with Renton. Verizon staff have been engaged in the Renton code process and had representatives at all of the public meetings. The topic is not scheduled for a Renton Council agenda at this time. Question: A source has informed Ms. Kruller that soft cells can interfere with home Wi-Fi on a 5 GHz band. Can you comment on this? Response from Ms. Vaga: The nodes intended to be deployed are not 5 GHz. They are 4G LTE spectrum, which is the same as the current macro site spectrum. While Verizon hopes this franchise sets the groundwork for potential 5G deployments, the initial installation is 4G deployment. To her knowledge, this will not interfere with home Wi-Fi; Verizon tests extensively to avoid interference as it affects the functionality of their network. Ms. Vaga relayed that she can work with Verizon staff and provide more information on this topic. Question: In this agreement, is there something that provides a cease and desist remedy if this does interfere with home Wi-Fi to provide rapid recourse to an affected citizen? Response from Rachel Turpin, City Attorney: Based on financial harm, the Emergency Actions portion of the Ordinance under Section 7.B1 would provide options for the City in the above situation. "If any of Verizon's actions under this Franchise Agreement, or any failure by Verizon to act to correct a situation caused by Verizon, is reasonably deemed by the City to create a threat to life or property, financial harm, or cause a delay of the construction, repair or maintenance of the public improvement, the City may order Verizon to immediately correct said threat, financial harm, or delay....." Response from Ms. Vaga: It is Verizon's understanding that if its equipment is causing any interference, it is Verizon's responsibility to cure that interference and to do it quickly. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 4 of 9 Question: Has the City benchmarked against what Renton is doing, as it is her understanding their agreement is stricter than Bellevue or Kirkland? Does Renton have a tighter written agreement than Tukwila does? Response from Ms. Vaga: It is true that Renton's code is stricter, and there are components of that code that will be very difficult to work with as a wireless industry. Verizon does not have a written franchise agreement with the City of Renton at this time. This improvement in wireless data capacity will facilitate much more work from home and mobile work force solutions than potential interference. Question: How long have Kirkland and Bellevue had agreements with Verizon? Response from Ms. Vaga: Verizon has had an agreement with Bellevue for about a year and are amending the agreement to be City-wide as it was initially project specific. Verizon also has agreements with Tacoma, Spokane, Marysville, Kirkland (project specific), and Snohomish County. Question: Is this franchise agreement project specific? And can Tukwila make amendments? Response from Rachel Turpin, City Attorney: Tukwila's proposed franchise agreement is City-wide, and the City would need to work with Verizon to amend the contract. Question: How many cities does Verizon have franchises with in the State? Response from Ms. Vaga: Verizon has agreements with 7-8 cities, and is in discussions with at least 20 additional cities. Councilmember Kruller expressed that with over 400 cities in the state, she considers Tukwila to be an early adopter of this franchise agreement. She is wondering what the benefit is to moving forward at this time. There were similar concerns from those at the National League of Cities (NLC). Councilmember Quinn conveyed that he does not mind moving forward early if the City has the ability to protect the public based on the language in the agreement. Councilmember McLeod met with the City Attorney today and came away with an understanding that Tukwila is not leaving any money on the table and the right-of-way is being protected. *MOTION CARRIED 6-1, WITH KRULLER VOTING NO, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2568. b. Due diligence contracts related to the Public Safety Plan: (1) Authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment #1 to contract #17-218 with Shannon and Wilson for geo- technical evaluation services related to the Public Safety Plan, adding $11,000 to the contract with a not - to -exceed amount of $48,700 for the total contract (including estimated expenses). MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN AMENDMENT #1 TO CONTRACT #17-218 WITH SHANNON AND WILSON FOR GEO-TECHNICAL EVALUATION SERVICES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN, ADDING $11,000 TO THE CONTRACT WITH A NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT OF $48,700 FOR THE TOTAL CONTRACT (INCLUDING ESTIMATED EXPENSES).* Kathy Hougardy, Chair of the Public Safety Committee, said this item was on the agenda of the March 5, 2018 meeting and was recommended with unanimous approval. Due to the cancellation of the March 12, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council President Seal approved these contracts to come directly to this Regular meeting. Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager, provided an overview of the 3 due diligence contracts. The City has identified its preferred sites for each of the facilities to be built under the Public Safety Plan. These include the Justice Center, the Public Works Shops, and Fire Stations 52 and 54. In fall 2017, the City executed contracts for the following services, which are needed to support the investigation and acquisition of properties for each of these facilities: 1. Geotechnical Analysis 2. Environmental Analysis 3. Survey Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 5 of 9 With each of these contracts, the City has either received new information or encountered the need for additional work to complete a thorough and responsible investigation for the Public Safety Plan properties. More details are provided below. Because the work and property negotiations are still ongoing, there is a desire to plan for potential unforeseen investigation requirements, which may need to be activated on short notice. To allow for this possibility, authorization is requested for a contingency amount to be included for each contract, in addition to the additional work currently being proposed. Notices to proceed would only authorize the amounts listed as fees. The contractors would not have access to the "contingency" amounts unless the City issues written authorization to proceed with additional work. Geotechnical: The original contract for geotechnical investigations of the Public Works and Justice Center sites anticipated that the contractor would be able to access all of the parcels on each site simultaneously. The differing approaches of the various property owners on the Justice Center site have necessitated staggered access to the properties, creating additional mobilization costs for the contractor. The proposal is to amend the geotechnical contract to cover the added costs in the amount of $11,000. Environmental: The original contract for environmental assessments provided for Phase 1 environmental reports on almost all of the short-listed sites for the Public Safety Plan facilities, and Phase 2 reports for the Public Works and Justice Center sites. There was not a request for a Phase 1 report for the final FS 52 site, because the City already owns the property. A prior evaluation has not been identified in the City's records, so conducting a Phase 1 study for the FS 52 site now is recommended. There was not a plan on Phase 2 work for the FS 54 site, as it is a former nursery in a residential neighborhood, a seemingly unlikely candidate for serious contamination. But the Phase 1 report for that site identified some concerns that warranted additional investigation and soil testing. This contract amendment includes the cost of that work. Finally, the staggered access to the Justice Center site has increased the costs for the Phase 2 work on that site. The proposal is to amend the environmental contract to cover the added costs in the amount of $36,325. Survey: The original contract with Bush Roed & Hitchings provided ALTA land surveys for each of the intended Public Safety sites (Justice Center, Public Works, Fire Stations 52 and 54). In order to better understand the site costs at the FS 52 site, the team must have a detailed topographical survey. The proposal is to amend the survey contract to cover the added costs in the amount of $10,000. The added costs for these 3 due diligence contracts is $57,325. The Councilmembers asked clarifying questions regarding the contracts. *MOTION CARRIED 7-0. (2) Authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment #2 to contract #17-167 with Sound Earth Strategies for environmental evaluation services related to the Public Safety Plan, adding $36,325 to the contract with a not -to -exceed amount of $163,262 for the total contract (including estimated expenses). MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY QUINN TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN AMENDMENT #2 TO CONTRACT #17-167 WITH SOUND EARTH STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION SERVICES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN, ADDING $36,325 TO THE CONTRACT WITH A NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT OF $163,262 FOR THE TOTAL CONTRACT (INCLUDING ESTIMATED EXPENSES). MOTION CARRIED 7-0. (3) Authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment #1 to contract #17-210 with Bush Roed & Hitchings for site survey services related to the Public Safety Plan, adding $10,000 to the contract with a not -to -exceed amount of $67,400 for the total contract (including estimated expenses). Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 6 of 9 MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN AMENDMENT #1 TO CONTRACT #17-210 WITH BUSH ROED & HITCHINGS FOR SITE SURVEY SERVICES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN, ADDING $10,000 TO THE CONTRACT WITH A NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT OF $67,400 FOR THE TOTAL CONTRACT (INCLUDING ESTIMATED EXPENSES). MOTION CARRIED 7-0. c. Authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with BNBuilders, Inc., for General Contractor Construction Management (GC/CM) for the Justice Center in an amount not to exceed $240,000. MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH BNBUILDERS, INC., FOR GENERAL CONTRACTOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (GC/CM) FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $240,000.* Kathy Hougardy, Chair of the Public Safety Committee, said this item was on the agenda of the March 5, 2018 meeting and was recommended with unanimous approval. Due to the cancellation of the March 12, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council President Seal approved this contract to come directly to this Regular meeting. Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager, introduced Ethan Bernau from SOJ (Shiels Obletz Johnsen), the City's Project Management consultant, and Steve Goldblatt, the Council's Project Management Quality Assurance consultant. Mr. Bernau and Mr. Goldblatt provided information regarding this contract. The City requires the services of a construction firm for preconstruction and construction services for the Justice Center included in the Public Safety Plan. After thorough staff review of the candidate firms that responded to the City's Request for Proposals, the City Council is being asked to approve a contract with BNBuilders, Inc. for a contract not to exceed $240,000.00, which includes preconstruction services for the Justice Center. Background: In November of 2016, the voters in Tukwila approved the City's Public Safety Bond as a part of the overall Public Safety Plan. Included in the bond is funding for building a single justice center facility to house the Tukwila Police Department and Municipal Court. In December of 2017, with assistance from Shiels Obletz Johnsen (SOJ), the project management firm assisting the City in the implementation of the Public Safety Plan, the City issued a Request for Proposals for GC/CM services. Ultimately, the City received seven proposals that were evaluated by an eight - member selection committee consisting of: SOJ's program manager and project manager, Architect, Council's PMQA Consultant, City Administrator, Police Commander, Court Administrator, and Communications and Government Relations Manager. Three firms were interviewed in late January and BNBuilders was chosen based on a combination of: (1) scoring of proposals, (2) scoring of interviews, and (3) results of the final bidding process on February 2, which included the three bidders' fee percentage and general conditions (staffing) dollar amount. BNBuilders brings several strengths as GC/CM for the Justice Center: • Successful delivery of a similar project, the University of Washington Police Station, completed in 2016 by the same team at BNBuilders. • Experience building civic facilities, such as the Burien City Hall and Library, delivered with SOJ. • History of working on GC/CM alternative delivery projects and partnering with owners and architects. • Experience working on public projects with limited funding and tight budgets. • Experience with and commitment to working with disadvantaged businesses (DBEs) and apprenticeships, including meeting the University of Washington's goals for DBE and local hiring. • Recommendations from project team members on their previous projects, as well as tours of and conversations with occupants who use the facilities they constructed. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 7 of 9 SOJ allocated a not -to -exceed amount of $240,000.00 in the budget for preconstruction services. The program manager, with significant experience building public projects and an architect herself, has determined this is a good value for the City and taxpayers. Councilmember Idan inquired if BNBuilders was competitive in the process. Mr. Bernau said the total scoring was competitive with a range of 4.75% — 5% between the proposals. Mr. Idan asked Mr. Goldblatt if it is normal procedure to sign a preconstruction contract when there is a funding gap. Mr. Goldblatt explained this is a commitment of a substantial, but modest sum of money in the scheme of things, as it relates to the larger project. If it is intended to move forward with the Justice Center, this work has to be started now. The Council will then get the first real cost estimates and schematic design, which will provide necessary information to make bigger decisions related to the project. Councilmember Kruller asked what is being committed to in this action for the long term. Mr. Bernau said there are multiple off -ramps in this process for the Council. The City may proceed through as many steps as desired without obligation to enter into construction with this firm. For the next 12 months, the City will work with BNBuilders in the pre -construction phase. For example, at the end of schematic design, the Council can decide not to move forward. Councilmember Kruller asked how common it is to delay if it is determined to be too costly. Mr. Bernau said every situation is different and it is not unheard of to delay a project. Councilmember Quinn expressed the importance of having consistency in contractors from the preconstruction phase through to the construction phase as opposed to using 2 different firms that may be in dispute regarding the project components. Mr. Goldblatt responded that he would rarely recommend changing teams in the middle of the game. If the delay from preconstruction to construction was extended out for years, BNBuilders would disassemble and the City would have to re-engage in the future. Councilmember Kruller inquired about apprenticeship utilization guidelines. Ms. Bianchi explained the Council adopted apprenticeship utilization guidelines for Public Works facilities. This attachment to the contract alerts BNBuilders that the guidelines are codified in the TMC (Tukwila Municipal Code). Ms. Bianchi said the topic of DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) and local hires is also coming to a future Council meeting. *MOTION CARRIED 7-0. REPORTS a. Mayor Mayor Ekberg was not present. b. City Council Councilmember Quinn attended the recent NLC (National League of Cities) conference in Washington D.C. He focused on 2 particular sessions he attended: (1) Public/private partnerships and leveraging community assets. It was one of the best sessions he has attended and involved the participants doing the financial work and use of formulas. (2) An update on the courts with pertinent information regarding use of social media and elected officials and some famous cases that will have an impact on how cities make decisions going forward. He gave kudos to the students at Tukwila Elementary School for their rendition of the Lion King. Additionally, he was present at the signing of the Voters Rights Act in Tukwila, which puts Washington state close to the top at providing critical access to voters. Councilmember Kruller attended the NLC Conference and participated on the Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee. Last year she was Chair of the Roads and Bridges Subcommittee, and this year she is Chair of Airports and Ports. Topics included those associated with drone legislation and the importance of having a seat at the table. She advocated to state senators regarding issues Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 8 of 9 associated with Tukwila. She participated in a congressional briefing that focused on modernizing America's infrastructure to withstand extreme weather, particularly flood -ready infrastructure. There were extensive conversations regarding passenger facility charges at airports going from $4.50 to $8.50, as well as discussions regarding raising the gas tax. Ms. Kruller was privileged to facilitate a TED Talk session regarding smart city solutions. There were also updates on autonomous buses for the public, which she feels could be very beneficial in Tukwila for transporting citizens around the City. Ms. Kruller referenced the significance of Governor Inslee signing the 4 bills that expand access to voting in the City of Tukwila. Mayor Pro Tempore Seal also attended the NLC Conference where she participated in the Youth, Education and Families Council. Their theme this year was to look at every single thing a City does relating to all programs and how they tie in to serve families. c. Staff David Cline, City Administrator, referenced the CA (City Administrator) report in the packet and offered to answer any questions. Mr. Cline asked Henry Hash, Public Works Director, to provide an update on the 42nd Avenue South Phase III Construction Project. Report from Public Works Director Henry Hash, Public Works Director, said he has listened to concerns regarding this project and reported that he conducted a coordination meeting on March 8, 2018 with all involved contractors, utility companies, and staff. He relayed to the group that solutions must be addressed with solid time frames. The stream bypass has been completed to allow the continued construction of the north footing. In late April, the road will be opened to pedestrians so local community members can walk. This is not a full opening with a gravel road and not open to handicapped use. In June, the first layer of asphalt will be complete, which can then be opened to local traffic. However, the work will continue while the road is open. By October, the City will have the project substantially completed. Mr. Hash told the contractors he will hold them to these dates unless there is an emergency or an act of mother nature that cannot be controlled. Additionally, an in-house inspector will be on site during construction. Ms. Kruller inquired regarding the 53rd Avenue South project. Mr. Cline relayed that the day after the contract was signed, flyers were being distributed door-to-door in the neighborhood regarding impending construction. Mr. Hash explained that recent activity on 53rd Avenue South is from the utility companies. Official start of work by the contractor has not yet begun and is anticipated to begin in mid to late April. There will be signage posted in various locations in the area giving the public 2 week's notice of the upcoming construction. Councilmember McLeod emphasized the full scope of the timeline for this project is April 2018 to April 2019. Councilmember Kruller inquired about the bridge in Allentown and speed limit changes and/or weight limits associated with trucks. Mr. Hash said while the speed limit on the bridge has changed, there have been no weight limit changes. Baker Commodities has been contacted regarding this issue to provide that clarity. d. City Attorney There was no report. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 19, 2018 Page 9 of 9 e. Intergovernmental Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst, referenced the PMQA (Program Management Quality Assurance) Report in the packet and offered to answer any questions. Councilmember Idan and Councilmember Kruller referenced following up with Mr. Goldblatt to gain greater clarity regarding portions of the report, and the importance of keeping the conversation going regarding sustainability. MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Hougardy said a business on Interurban Avenue has flashing bright lights that affect local neighborhoods, particularly at night. This has been discussed in the past and may require looking at the City's Sign Code. She will be discussing this with the Chair of the CDN (Community Development and Neighborhoods) Committee as an item to be considered on their agenda. Councilmember Kruller attended the After School Programming luncheon at the NLC Conference. She emphasized the importance of getting an update on the City's program that involves the Parks and Recreation Department and the Tukwila School District. She would like to have an update before June as it may require budgetary considerations. Mayor Pro Tempore Seal said there will be another Community Listening session regarding a proposed ordinance relating to immigration issues. It will be held at the Church by the Side of the Road on Thursday, March 22, 2018 from 6:30 p.m. -8:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT 8:35 p.m. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY KRULLER THAT THE TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING BE ADJOURNED.
