RE: Public Safety Plan
October update
In Ilune, the Council approved the Plan's phasing and financing, based upon the Finance
Committee and City staff s five -month exploration of options. Fire Station 51 and the Justice
Center have reached significant milestones as they begin their respective construction doc-
uments. The Project Executive Team and City partners have had another productive month
on all elements of the Plan.
FIRE STATIONS
Site development
Geotechnical exploration will inform site development costs for Fire Station 52. The
City owns the property for now -deleted Fire Station 54, and its use or disposition will
be a future decision. On September 4, Public Safety expressed support for removal of
the existing abandoned home. A hazmat investigation has been completed in prepara-
tion for the home's demolition. Lydig is seeking bids for the demolition and leaving the
site in a safe condition. A contract for the demolition will come before Council soon.
Station 51 construction documents
Weinstein AU has begun Station 51's construction documents phase. Design develop-
ment pricing was presented 20 August in Public Safety and 27 August in COW, with
Council consensus to move forward. Seven Fire Department -preferred alternates will
be fully designed and included in bid package documents; Council will decide if/when
any or all are adopted. Station 51's revised budget is $13.3 million.
• Station 52 schematic design
Weinstein AU's schematic design for Station 52 began in August and is progressing. At
COW 10 September, Council concurred with Public Safety's 4 September recommenda-
tions to (1) carry the administrative tenant improvements as an alternate, and (2) se-
lect the Fire Department's preferred drive -through plan, Drive -through Station 52's re-
vised budget will now be $19.26 million, up from $18.6 million for the back -in plan.
• Station 54 assessment
On 18 June, the Council eliminated new Station 54 from the Plan via Option D-20(f).
Council has asked for an estimate to make life safety improvements to the existing sta-
tion. This work has been initiated. Staff will present three potential options —with
rough order of magnitude cost estimates —to Public Safety soon.

Stations' budget
The project team's Station 51 design development estimate has begun to inform Sta-
tion 52's schematic design budget, specifically adjusted to the City Hall site. At this
point, the overage has grown for both stations. New Station 54's deletion will lose
some economy of scale on design, construction, and dependent costs for Stations 51
and 52. Including Station 54's substantially reduced scope, the stations' overall revised
budget is $34 million.
• GC/CM pre -construction services
Lydig is working with Weinstein. AU on Station 51's construction documents and Sta-
tion 52's schematic design.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and local hiring policies
The Council unanimously passed. Resolution 1929 on 2 April, adopting DBE and local
hiring policies for the Plan's projects. The DBE goal is 17% and the local hiring goal is
20%, complementing the City's 10% apprenticeship requirement of Resolution 1814.
The first metrics that the Council sees can be expected mid-2019. Lydig—and BNBuild-
ers for the Justice Center —are ramping up efforts with the DBE community. Council
can expect an update on their efforts next month.
JUSTICE CENTER
Property acquisition
The City now owns four of nine Justice Center properties and will take control of more
in the near future, including the Travelodge that is expected to be transferred to the
City 1 November. Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should ex-
pect final pricing and closed transactions for more of the properties. If site acquisition.
is extended, permitting, environmental, and construction starts may be delayed. Public
Use and Necessity was granted 14 September and not contested by any party. Due to
delayed access to parcels in the middle of the site, there remain unknown risks that ha-
ven't been fully estimated; additional site contingency funds are included in the overall
project budget. Where accessible, the team is moving ahead with surveying and Phase
11 environmental investigation.
Construction documents
DLR and BNB began design development mid -June. Design development pricing has
confirmed the revised schematic design budget of $68.5 million. Design development
pricing was presented 1 October in Public Safety and 8 October in COW, with Council
consensus to move forward to the construction documents phase.
• GC/CM pre -construction services
BNB continues to work with the design team on cost estimating, constructability, mate-
rial selection, and scheduling. BNB received Public Safety and. Council approval 6 Au-
gust to perform early abatement and demolition work on the JC-9 property. Impacted
by the now -ended operating engineers' strike, demolition is done. BNB is developing
pricing for JC-8 property (Travelodge) early abatement and demolition. This will be
presented to Public Safety as soon as it's ready.

CONSOLIDATED SHOPS
• Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Shops properties later this year. Site investigations and ne-
gotiations are ongoing. King County Superior Court granted the City's request for Pub-
lic Use and Necessity. Negotiations are under way regarding access, possession, and
price.
•
Design services
A request for proposals went out 25 June for architectural services on a shops master
plan and Heiser facilities tenant improvements. Ten proposals were submitted 20 July
for shortlisting 23 July. Three interviews with finalists were held 13 August. A contract
for S365,000 with the recommended firm, SHKS Architects, was approved by Public
Safety 1 October and recommended by majority consensus at COW 8 October. Final
Council debate and action is scheduled for 15 October,
OTHER RESOURCES
Professional services
The Project Executive Team is working through procurement of additional consultant
resources for the Fire Stations and Justice Center; e.g., testing and inspections. Com-
missioning awaits construction. Archeologists arid transportation consultants for envi-
ronmental reviews will be procured as needed. A hazmat contract for $64,740 with
NOVO for work at the Justice Center and existing Fire Station 54 was approved by Fi-
nance Committee 2 October and recommended by majority consensus at COW 8 Octo-
ber. Final Council debate and action is scheduled for 15 October.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Tight schedule
The overall schedule remains very ambitious. With so many activities under way, there
is little room for any missteps to meet the Plan's revised milestones, The Project Exec-
utive Team, City staff, and Council are doing as well as can be expected given all the
new properties' access, due diligence, and acquisition challenges. Fire Station 51 and
Justice Center bidding is now expected to begin in January, and construction on both
projects next spring.
PROGRAM BUDGET
Financial plan
From 6 February through 5 June, the Finance Committee and staff conducted an inten-
sive effort to develop recommendations for full Council discussion re the Plan's signifi-
cant financial gap. This effort culminated 5 June in a unanimous Committee recommen-
dation of Option D-20(0 that was discussed at the 11 June Council workshop. Council
reached consensus for Option D-20(0, approved by a full Council vote 18 June.

Market conditions
Like the Fire Stations, the Justice Center and Consolidated Shops budgets will need to
be sensitive to tight construction market conditions and increasing property values
These external budget pressures will manifest themselves as property is procured and
project estimates are refined.
