BACKGROUND The City of Renton completed Phase 1 of the Stnandor Boulevard/SW 27th Street (Oakesda|a Avenue to Naohes Avenue) in 2008 and Phase 2 (Naches Avenue to the new Tukwila Station/Sounder Commuter Rail Station parking lot, between BNSF and UPRR) in 2014. Phase 3 is being led by the City of Tukwila. In 2016. Tukwila received Federal grant funding for the preliminary engineering and right-of-way phases and is proceeding with the design process as part of the preliminary engineering phase (the project design started last year and is currently at 3096). Due tnthe increased complexity ofthe project andpnojecbadinoreaoedcoat from original estimates, VVSDOTand T|B recommended that a Value Engineering Study (VE) be performed for the 8tnander Blvd Phase 3 Pnojoc, to either find cost savings which could beincorporated into the design orvalidate the current design asthe most cost- efficient option. City administration and City staff have met with various legislators and funding agencies listed below: ° ViceChairoftheHnuaeTxenoportationCommbbee-RopnasenbativeJakaFey ° yWembernfSenahaTnsnsportationCommittee-GenohnrCurtioKing ° Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Secretary - Roger Millar ° VVSDDTNorthwest Region Local Programs Engineer -yWehndadK8oini ° VVSD{}TLocal Programs Director - Kathleen Davis ° Washington State Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMS|B) Dinactor- Brian Ziegler ~ Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Director - Ashley Probart Staff has also had conversations with our state and federal lobbyists regarding the best strategy for the state and federal funding awards. DISCUSSION Earlier this year, the City conducted a VE study after awarding a contract to yWENG Analysis to perform the work. Three options were ultimately identified for the City to consider which are detailed in the attached presentation. Option No. 1: Continue with current design nf4laneruad($5 $1OMpotential cost savings from VEstudy) Option No. 2: Incorporate full VE proposals of 2 lane road, no seal, if possible, and continue design($1O-$25W1 potential cont savings). This option is recommended by the Administration since it will meet the original scope of the project which was a new regional east -west arterial in this area. Option No. 3: Stop Work. Return grant funding, reimburse approximately $2 million of federal funds spent to date. opwmom\Pwoommon$\pwsng\orxEn\Hn *m"ekami\2o1oos04Info Memo onvsPresentation. uucx 67 Project and Funding Timeline Dates City Council Actions/Updates Funding/Grants Project Milestones 2012 City Adopts Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) lists Strander Blvd/SW 27th St Extension with costs in Beyond years No specific funding identified 2013 CIP adopted without major changes from 2012 No specific funding identified 2014 Adopted CIP includes $20,000 for professional services to apply for Federal TIGER grant and FMSIB • TIGER grant not awarded Phase 2 — SW 27th St. Extension completed by Renton 2015 Adopted CIP included proposed grants from TIGER, FMSIB, and STP • TIGER grant not awarded 2016 Council adopts state and federal legislative priorities with a focus on securing funds for Stander Blvd • TIGER grant not awarded • STP (PSRC) grant $5.1 M for design • Federal FASTLANE grant awarded $5 million 2017 Adopted CIP estimates costs of $39 million and identifies several sources of funding: • City operating funds: $2 million • Awarded STP grant: $5.1 M • State FMSIB Reconfirmed & Awarded $5M • State Discretionary grant awarded $500,000 BUILD grant (formerly TIGER) not awarded City award design contract to Berger/ABAM 2018 Council adopts state and federal legislative priorities with a continued focus on Strander and renewed focus on securing Statewide funding as part of a possible Transportation package. Council adopts contract for Value Engineering study to be completed in 1st Quarter 2019 • BUILD grant not awarded City Council briefed on increased estimated project costs due to complexity City contracts for utility coordination City staff begin meeting with state elected and department representatives. Revised & significantly higher cost estimate from 30% design resulted in requiring a Value Engineering (VE) study to be completed by funding partners 2019 Adopted CIP lists estimated project costs of $83.78 million Perform Value Engineering (VE) study and prepare reports City Council briefed on VE results Current Funding and Grant obligations Grant Awarded Amount Restrictions STP (PSRC) 2016 $5.1 million • $3.9 million for construction. Must be used by 2030 or repay funds • $1.2 million for ROW, must be obligated by 12/31/2019 Federal FASTLANE 2016 $5 million Must be obligated for Construction by September 2019 FMSIB 2017 (reconfirmed) $5 million Must be obligated for Construction by January 2020 WA State Discretionary Funds 2017 $500,000 68 If funds are not obligated by the dates mentioned above, they will need to be returned to the funding agency and then can be reapplied for in the future. Based upon our conversations internaUy, in discussions with our funding partners and with our state and &adana| lobbyists, City Administration and Staff are suggesting that we notify the appropriate agency and relinquish the funding awards for FASTLANE, STP ROW, and FMSIB. This will help with building support when the City eventually applies for future funds. Possible next steps June 2019 — Council Briefed on Value Engineering results and provide direction on preferred design alternative 2010-2020— Design alternative is completed 2010-2U22—Secure significant statewide funding for new design 2020-2023 — Reapply for federal and State grants and secure other regional partner funding FINANCIAL IMPACT The financial impact varies depending onthe direction taken nnthe project. Option 2 (2 lane road) with $10 - $25M potential costs savings is recommended by the administration.
