I. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Bid Award: 2019 Annual Small Drainage Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with KC Equipment, LLC in the amount of
$434,267.50 for construction of the 2019 Annual Small Drainage Program. This program
constructs drainage projects that are too large for city staff but smaller than a typical capital
improvement project, and prioritized based on need, cost, requirements, and length of time on
the list. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 21, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT
AGENDA.
B. Contract Amendment: 2019 Annual Small Drainage Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to Contract 19-061 with KPG, Inc. for
construction management of the 2019 Annual Small Drainage Program. KPG was selected from
six firms for best meeting the requirements of the project. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO OCTOBER 21, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Grant Acceptance: Riverton Creek Flap Gate Removal
Staff is seeking Council approval of an agreement with King County for $140,000 of Cooperative
Watershed Management (CWM) grant funding for the Riverton Creek Flap Gate Removal
Project. CWM funds are distributed annually to each WRIA in King County and Tukwila was
awarded $140K toward design and construction of this project, which will increase available
salmonid rearing habitat and flood refuge in the lower Duwamish. The required match of
$950,000 is available from other grant funds and Surface Water revenue. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 21, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
D. Grant Acceptance: NPDES Stormwater Capacity Grant
Staff is seeking Council approval of a grant agreement with the Washington State Department
of Ecology for a $95,000 2019-2021 Water Quality Stormwater Capacity Grant. Funds will be
used to assist Phase II Permittees in implementation or management of municipal stormwater
programs and no matching funds are required. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
OCTOBER 21, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.

E. Demolition Agreement: Public Safety Plan - Public Works Shops Phase 1
Staff is seeking Council approval of Amendment No. 5 to Contract 18-001 with Lydig
Construction in the amount of $73,707 for demolition of the Lifestyles landscape building and
the former coffee shop building on the new Public Works shops site. Council Resolution 1964
declared these building, fixtures and equipment as surplus and authorized their disposal, and
demolition is deemed necessary to begin the other site improvements and to deter squatters
and trespassers. Chair Idan noted that the estimated project management hours seemed high
and asked if BNBuilders had been asked to participate? Staff stated that Lydig has the capacity
to perform this demolition work now and BNBuilders do not. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
F. Public Safety Plan - Public Works Shops Phase 1
Staff is seeking Council approval to move forward with Phase 1 of the Public Works facility
Master Plan, which was created by SHKS Architects in partnership with Public Works staff at all
levels. Staff recommends beginning implementation of the Master Plan by moving the George
Long operations, Police vehicle evidence, and spoils from the Longacres site to the Heiser site
as the most practical and least expensive option. Subsequent phases will include the entire
buildout of the Heiser and UPS sites and relocation of the Minkler operations. The UPS building
is not available until 2023. Phase 1 is estimated to cost $8.2 million. The CIP budget for PW
Shops has a balance of $3.783 million, so an additional $4.4 million is needed. Of that, $2.2
million is available from utilities, and existing resources can be reallocated to fund the
remainder, offset by reduced debt service payments due to better than projected interest rates.
The City needs to identify funding for Phase 2 and beyond and will put together a
comprehensive facilities plan to identify all the needs. Councilmembers discussed the proposal
and did not arrive at a recommendation to move forward with Phase 1 at this time. Staff was
asked to return to Committee with additional information on the following:
• Better justification for George Long operations to move ahead of Minkler
operations
• Other options for housing Minklerstaff, such as former landscaping building, 6300
Building, Station 51
• Opportunity to discuss Phase 2 and beyond
• Call out in the memo that no utility projects will be delayed by moving forward
• Cost estimate for improving current Minkler site
• Contingency update on other Public Safety Plan projects
RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
