In order to address the frontage improvements needed on the Military Road side of the Justice Center, the cities need to enter into an interlocal agreement. DISCUSSION The City of SeaTac is currently completing improvements on Military Road from S. 150th to Tukwila International Boulevard. Frontage improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, etc.) throughout this corridor are being required by SeaTac. In coordination meetings between the two cities, it became clear that it makes the most sense for the City of Tukwila to use Justice Center funds to pay SeaTac to install these improvements, rather than have the City's GCCM install them. The project believes it will save both time and money as SeaTac's contractors are installing all of the frontage improvements throughout the corridor. The cost for these improvements is $238,553. The Justice Center can absorb this cost in the contingency budget. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the interlocal agreement. ATTACHMENTS Draft interlocal agreement. 2 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SEATAC AND THE CITY OF TUKWILA FOR FEE IN LIEU OF MITIGATION RELATED TO CONSTRUCTING FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN MILITARY ROAD SOUTH RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TUKWILA JUSTICE CENTER This Agreement is between the City of SeaTac ("SEATAC") in King County, a municipal corporation, organized under the laws of the State of Washington, and the City of Tukwila ("TUKWILA") in King County, a municipal corporation, organized under the laws of the State of Washington, for fee in lieu of mitigation of constructing frontage improvements in Military Road South right-of-way for the development of the Tukwila Justice Center project.
