INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
DATE: November 18, 2011
SUBJECT: Tukwila Urban Center Access (Klickitat) Proiect
Project No. 98410419
ROW Transfer between Washington State Department of Transportation WSDOT) and Tukwila
ISSUE
Conveyance of Right -of -Way (ROW) to WSDOT and subsequent acceptance of ROW Turnback to Tukwila.
BACKGROUND
In April 2010, a Letter of Understanding (LOU) was signed by both Tukwila and WSDOT, which outlined the process of
how both agencies were intending to transfer ROW ownership and adjust the limited access lines along Southcenter
Parkway for the Klickitat Project. There are three components related to the LOU:
1) Tukwila is to convey a portion of the ROW dedicated by Westfield to WSDOT.
2) WSDOT will relocate the limited access lines from their current location to include the ROW conveyed by Tukwila.
3) WSDOT will then convey back to Tukwila all of the underlying ROW.
Southcenter Parkway will then be under the City of Tukwila's ROW for maintenance responsibilities.
DISCUSSION
The ROW dedication was conveyed to Tukwila from Westfield in June 2009 using one of the City's standard processes,
a Right -of -Way Dedication. It was our understanding that a Warranty Deed would convey the ROW to WSDOT. WSDOT
is unwilling to accept a Warranty Deed from the City as conveyance for the Westfield dedication since it was conveyed to
Tukwila through a Right -of -Way Dedication. Instead, WSDOT is requesting that the City execute a Quit Claim Deed to
convey the property. Staff and the City Attorney have been negotiating with WSDOT on the manner to best achieve this
property transfer. WSDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have indicated concurrence with this
approach.
The first step is to convey the necessary ROW to WSDOT using a Quit Claim Deed, including an after acquired title
clause. Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to sign the Quit Claim Deed. The City Attorney will be requesting
Westfield to re- convey their ROW dedication using a Quit Claim Deed. It is this step that necessitates the after acquired
title clause.
In the second step, WSDOT will adjust the limited access line to include the property conveyed to WSDOT by Tukwila.
After this adjustment is executed, WSDOT will convey the entire ROW width on Southcenter Pkwy back to Tukwila. The
Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to accept the ROW Turnback Agreement (as part of step 3).
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to sign the Quit Claim Deed to convey the ROW to WSDOT and also
authorize the Mayor to accept the ROW Turnback Agreement from WSDOT and consider this item at the November 28,
2011 Committee of the Whole and subsequent December 5, 2011 Regular Meeting.

RE: Tukwila Urban Access Improvement Project
Letter of Understanding
Dear Mr. East:
Negotiations between the Washington State Department of Transportation WSDOT) and the City of
Tukwila (CITY) around the Tukwila Urban Access Improvement Project (PROJECT) have been
ongoing since 2005. Those discussions have resulted in this Letter of Understanding (LOU).
It is agreed by all parties that the following conditions, obligations, and requirements shall apply, and
that each party is bound by the following:
Issue
The CITY has taken lead on a roadway design project predominately along Southcenter Parkway.
While a portion of the PROJECT falls under Limited Access control, the larger corridor functions as a
CITY street. The CITY has acquired all necessary right -of -way (ROW) for the PROJECT; all new
ROW is currently under CITY ownership. The CITY has been coordinating with WSDOT for the
PROJECT design and is working toward finalization of the design and advertising the PROJECT for
construction. The CITY has acquired the funding for the PROJECT design and construction from
multiple sources including CITY funds, federal and local grants, and private funds. No WSDOT funds
have been committed to the PROJECT. Several of the grants awarded to the PROJECT are time
sensitive and could be revoked by the granting agency should the PROJECT be unreasonably delayed.
It is in the best interest of both the CITY and WSDOT to work cooperatively to complete the
PROJECT as it is mutually beneficial to both agencies.
WSDOT Responsibilities
1. WSDOT will work with the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to gain approval of the
Limited Access deviation.
2. WSDOT agrees to accept conveyance of ROW from the CITY for the por% Pceessidelineation center
Parkway which is currently CITY-owned ROW (see attached ROW Exhibit) of the
ROW conveyance and Certification, WSDOT agrees to relocate the Limited

to the easterly side of the Southcenter Parkway ROW. The CITY and WSDOT agree there is
no meaningful benefit at this time as part of this project to extending the Limited Access
control further north or south than the existing north/south boundaries along Southcenter
Parkway.
3. Upon PROJECT close -out, as defined by the CITY's acceptance and close -out of the
PROJECT, WSDOT agrees to turn -back a1O ownership of Southcenter Parkway to the
CITY through a Turn -Back Agreement al��c�nc Row PW6;+ :PJ
4. WSDOT agrees that all transactions agreed upon as part of this LOU is done so without any
exchange of cash or any other item of tangible value, other than the mutual benefits achieved
through the PROJECT.
5. WSDOT agrees to continue working with the CITY on all remaining design issues, to be
detailed in a separate Letter of Understanding.
CITY Responsibilities
1. The CITY will submit documentation for the deviation of standard Limited Access
requirements for WSDOT and FHWA approval.
2. The CITY will convey to WSDOT that portion of the ROW which will be incorporated into the
revised Limited Access area as described above. The CITY will submit appropriate
documentation for the conveyance of ROW and the revision to the Limited Access area as part
of the normal ROW Certification process for the PROJECT.
3. The CITY agrees to continue all normal maintenance activities within the PROJECT area,
exclusive of the interstate facilities, through PROJECT close -out.
4. The CITY agrees to accept the ROW turn -back from WSDOT at PROJECT close -out.
5. The CITY agrees that all transactions agreed upon as part of this LOU is done so without any
exchange of cash or any other item of tangible value, other than the mutual benefits achieved
through the PROJECT.
6. The CITY agrees to continue finalizing the project designto incorporate the remaining design
issues verbally agreed upon, the details of which will be documented in a separate Letter of
Understanding.
