City staff updated the Committee on the status of projects associated with the Public Safety
Plan. Another open house will take place on December 2, and the Committee is encouraged
to attend.
&CL? MN;NCIHM ȯ Weinstein AU is in the design phase, the City has received General
Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) approval from the state, and contractors have
been interviewed. GC/CM is a process wherein the contractor is brought in to provide
feedback during the design process rather than waiting until design is complete. Mr. Reiswig
expressed support for the GC/CM model based upon his professional experience. Mr. Goode
asked about the benefit of working with one architect to design all stations, and staff replied
that using one architect and one contractor typically provides a better value than treating
each building separately.
*OMNC=? #?HN?L ȯ DLR Group, Inc. is the architect firm and are currently in the programming
phase. The City will apply for GC/CM authorization from the state at the end of November,
and will bid for contractor in January. Mr. Reiswig asked why there is a different architect
and staff replied that architecture firms commonly have different niches. DLR Group, Inc
specializes in justice-related buildings.
0O<FC= 7ILEM 3BIJM Design activities related to the combined shops facility will begin in
2018.
,I=;NCIHM ȯ The Council has received a recommendation from the Siting Advisory Committee
and is moving forward through the site selection process. Mr. Goode noted that siting of a
Justice Center on Tukwila International Boulevard could have positive and negative impacts
on
visually welcoming to the families in the neighborhood to ensure it is viewed as a
community asset and resource.
ǴȚ0O<FC= 3;@?NS 0F;H &CH;H=C;F /P?LPC?Q
The Committee reviewed a report of all Public Safety Plan revenues & expenditures through
August 2017. Total actual revenues through August 31, 2017 are $37,852,683 from the voter-
approved bond, fire impact fees, and investment interest. Actual expenditures through
August 31, 2017 are $569,887. Because the current construction market conditions are
significantly higher than what the City had estimated, there is an estimated funding gap of
around $8.4 million for the fire stations project. Mr. Reiswig asked if funds could be
transferred between projects, and staff replied that the bond ordinance offers that flexibility.
The City Council was informed of the fire station budget projection in June and directed staff
to proceed with design. In 2018 the Council will continue discussing how to fully fund the
projects. Mr. Goode asked how the community would be involved in the design of the Justice
Center, since decisions will be made based upon cost. Staff said that there have and will
continue to be open houses, but it is largely functional needs that drive the design. Mr.
Goode recommends the City give more consideration to community involvement.
The Committee reviewed an updated list of Public Safety Plan contracts, including project
management, fire station location study, architectural design and planning, real estate
broker services, program management quality assurance services, and environmental
assessments.
VII.Miscellaneous
Staff mentioned that the Council would like the Committee to deliver a report before the end of the
year and asked for availability in December. Committee members expressed general availability
and the meeting can be scheduled via email.
VIII.Adjournment
Mr. Goode moved adjournment and Mr. Reiswig seconded the motion. The motion carried and the meeting
was adjourned at 5:55 p.m.
