II.BUSINESS AGENDA
NPDES Program 2017 Annual Report and 2018 Stormwater Management Program Plan
A.
Staff provided an overview of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
2017 Annual Report and 2018 Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Plan. The Annual
Report reflects activities completed in 2017. The SWMP Plan is required by the NPDES Program
to show that the City complies with requirements outlined in the NPDES Phase II permit, and
contains elements such as public education and outreach, public involvement and
participation, illicit discharge detection and elimination, runoff control, municipal operations
and maintenance, compliance with maximum daily load requirements, and monitoring and
assessment. Committee members discussed the importance of public education and
awareness of stormwater fees and how they benefit the community. Staff will work with Chair
Mcleod on an editorial for the local press. DISCUSSION ONLY.
Contract Amendments: GIS Services for Water, Sanitary Sewer & Surface Water
B.
Staff is seeking Council approval to amend two contracts with David Evans and Associates for GIS

amount of $124,581.00 for the 2018 Sanitary Sewer and Surface Water, and $99,825.40 for the Water
GIS Survey, will update existing GIS databases to address new construction and discrepancies.

Contract: Andover Park East Water & Sewer Replacement Construction Management
C.
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with AECOM Technical Services in the amount
of $90,000.00 for construction management services for the Andover Park East Water and
Sewer Replacement Project. Several issues were discovered during construction that were not
included in the original scope of services, and this proposed contract will allow finalization of
payments and project closeout. The final total amount for construction management services
is $622,893.84 and under the $640,000 budget. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL
2, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.

Proposed FEMA Flood Map Update
D.
Staff
Maps (FIRMs) that are used to regulate development with designated Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHA). The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) floodplain management regulations
mandate flood insurance for structures in SFHAs that carry a mortgage backed by a federally
regulated lender or servicer. The City regulates the NFIP requirements through its permit
process. The primary change to the City of Tukwila FIRMs is that they will contain a designation
for seclusion mapping, where a floodplain that is protected by a non-certified levee will be
designated. The City of Kent hosted an open house in March where staff from the surrounding
cities were available to answer questions. Next is a 90-day appeal period, and once the update
is complete, each jurisdiction will be notified that the new FIRMs will become effective in six
months. Staff plans to return to Committee with information on the levee certification progress.
DISCUSSION ONLY.
Amended Interlocal Agreement: Valley View West Hill Sewer Transfer Area
E.
Staff is seeking Committee approval to amend the interlocal agreement with Valley View Sewer
District providing sanitary sewer service to the Loop area originally approved by the Council in
May 2015. The amendment would add the Crystal Springs neighborhood, revise the time period
for installation of manholes and piping, and add a provision that if the District does not complete
the sewer installation by January 1, 2021 the City will complete it and the District will reimburse
the costs. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 9, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
Strander Boulevard/Southwest 27 Street Extension Phase 3 Project Funding
th
F.
Staff briefed the Committee on the estimated costs and funding of the Strander
Boulevard/Southwest 27 Street Extension Phase 3 Project. The City has received over $4.5
th
million to design the project, which is almost at 30% completion. Because construction of this
project would require a significant City cost in excess of $7 million, staff is seeking direction on
prioritization of this and other bridge projects. The 42 Avenue South Street Bridge replacement
nd
project after 2020 will also require significant city funding, currently estimated at $6 million. The
City could terminate the Strander project prior to finishing design and return the grant funds.
The City could also terminate the project at the end of design, not proceeding to construction in
2020. This option would allow the City up to 10 years to begin construction before triggering
events where expended grant funds would have to be returned. Committee members asked
clarifying questions, but generally expressed support for continuing through the design process
for this important regional project and pursuing additional funding from grantors. The
Committee felt there are sufficient off-ramps to feel comfortable moving forward. DISCUSSION
ONLY.
Grant Applications: Strander Boulevard/Southwest 27 Street Extension Phase 3 Project
th
G.
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit multiple grant applications to secure funding for
construction of the Strander Boulevard Extension Phase 3 Project. Funding agencies could
include the Puget Sound Regional Council, Transportation Improvement Board, King County
Metro, Sound Transit, Union Pacific and BNSF Railroads, TIGER, and the City of Renton. In 2016,
the application to PSRC was the highest scoring project not selected for funding, and staff
believes the application is more attractive now due to it being a project of regional significance.
If awarded, the grant would be $4.76 million. If the Committee approves, staff will pursue other
grant opportunities as appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
