BACKGROUND The City cfRenton completed Phase 1 ofthe StranderBoulevard/SW 27thStreet (]okeodakaAvenue toNscheu Avenue) in2O08and Phase 2(NauheoAvenue hothe 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 3016. Tukwila received Federal grant funding for the preliminary engineering and right-of-way phases and is proceeding with the design process as pod of the preliminary engineering phase (the project design started last year and is currently at 30%), Due tothe increased complexity ofthe project and projected increased costs from original estimates, VVSOQTand T|B recommended that a Value Engineering Study Blvd Phase 3 Project, to either find cost savings which could be incorporated into the design or validate the current design as the most cost- efficientoTd|on. City administration and City staff have met with various legislators and funding agencies listed below: ° VicaChairoftheHouoeTranoportaUonCommittea-RepnaoenbaUveJeheFoy • MemberofSenateTranaportedionCommittae-SenaborCurtioKing • Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Secretary - Roger Millar • WSDOT Northwest ReginnLooa|PnogrammEngineer-yNehndmdyNoini • VVSOQTLocal Programs Director - Kathleen Davis • Washington State Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FN18|8) Oiraotor- Brian Ziegler • Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Director -Ashley Probart Staff has also had conversations with our state and federal lobbyists regarding the beststrategy for the state and federal funding awards. DISCUSSION Earlier his year, the City conductedoVEstudy after awarding ocontract toMENGAnalysis hzperform 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 of4'laneroad ($5'$10K0potential cost savings from VEstudy) Option No. 2: Incorporate full VE proposals of 2-lane road, no seal, if possible, and continue designO potential cost recommended bythe 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 $2million offederal funds spent todate. w:NpW Eog\pnoJEcTSvA-mwunoprojectomtrand,,Extension mn 10403)msomuy\2019060Info Memo un 97 Page GtrandsvBlvd Phase 3Value Engineering Results May 31.201S 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 ShandorBlvd/SW 27mEVExtension with costs inBeyond years Nospecific funding identified 2013 C|Padopted without major changes from 2012 Nospecific funding identified 2014 Adopted 0Pincludes $20,0O0for professional services toapply for Federal TIGER grant and FMS|B ° TIGER grant not awarded Phase 2—SW27*St. Extension 'completed by Renton 2015 Adopted C|Pincluded proposed grants from TIGER, FMS|B. ondSTP w TIGER grant not awarded 2016 Council adopts state and federal legislative priorities with ofocus onsecuring funds for Standor8|vd ~ TIGER grant not awarded ° STP(PSRD)grant $51M for design ° Federal FA8TLANEgrant awarded $6million 2017 Adopted C|Pestimates costs of$39miUimn and identifies several sources offunding: * Coperating ' ° Awa�edSTpgnont'' $5.1M w State FMS|BReconfirmed & Awarded $5M ° St�eO|nc��nno�grant a*a�ed�50000O ' w BUILD grant TIGER) not awarded City award design contract to8orgor/ABAM 2018 Council adopts state and federal legislative priorities with ocontinued focus on Stnondmrand renewed focus onsecuring Statewide funding enpart ofapossible Transportation package.

City Administration and Staff are suggesting that we notify the appropriate agency and relinquish the funding awards for FASTLANE, STP ROW, and FMSIB.

Staff recommends proceeding with the two-lane road design asdetermined by the VE consultant, and returning the unused funds to FASTLANE, STP, and FMSIB or apply for a time extension. Once the design alternative is chosen, the City will be positioned to reapply for grant funding. If the two-lane road option is chosen' the City of Renton expressed a desire to create Phase 4'which would include adding the two remaining road lanes 3ta later time.
