Substantial Completion no later than 0,/14/2020 from the Commencement Date, subject to adjustment
or early termination as provided herein. Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or

(Check the appropriate box.)
46,443 84 [ « » ] Stipulated Sum in the amount of $ +wsst , subject to any change orders, additions, or deductions, and as
further set forth in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit A.
[ « »] BELFOR'S National Rate and Material Schedule attached as Exhibit B.
3.2. Invoicing.
3.2.1 Owner agrees to pay Contractor's invoice within 30 days of receipt by the Owner. If Owner
dispute's any amount within an invoice, then Owner shall pay all undisputed amounts within thirty (30) days from receipt of
invoice and shall provide to Contractor, in writing, an explanation of the disputed amount with all supporting documentation
within seven (7) days from Owner's receipt of the disputed invoice. Failure to do so shall result in an absolute waiver of
Owner's right to dispute any amounts under said invoice. Owner agrees that it shall only assert disputes grounded in good
faith and reasonable judgment. Owner shall not withhold payment of any undisputed amount payable by reason of any
dispute. In the event of any such dispute, the Parties shall seek to resolve the disputed amount promptly. If such disputed
amount cannot be resolved within fourteen (14) days of Owner's notice, then the Owner shall place the entire disputed
amount in escrow until the Parties are able to resolve such dispute. The Contractor reserves the right to cease or suspend
any work until the undisputed amount is paid in full, including interest, for Services performed.
3.2.2 Contractor's right to timely and full payment of its progress and final invoice shall not be contingent upon
resolution of any disputes between the Owner and its insurer(s) or dependent upon the insurers' payment or
approval of Contractor's invoices or charges.
3.2.3 In the event Owner fails to make payments promptly under this contract, it would be difficult to fix the
damages suffered by Contractor because of varying rates of interest and inflation and because late payment impairs capital
and bonding capacity. As liquidated damages the parties therefore agree that a charge of 1.5 percent per month will be
assessed on all overdue payments. This rate represents a reasonable endeavor to estimate fair compensation for the
foreseeable losses that might result from late payment. If payment is not timely made, on submitted invoices, Contractor
reserves the right to cease any work, whether present or future, until Contractor is fully paid, including interest, for services
performed.
3.2.4 The Owner waives any right of recoupment or setoff that it may have, whether any such right arises by
virtue of contract or law, with respect to the payments for any Work under this Agreement. Payments for Work shall be
made in full without any setoff or recoupment.
3.2.5 Owner understands and agrees that the Owner's obligation to make timely payment is not abated, stayed,
contingent, dependent or conditioned on Owner awaiting funds from its insurer(s), local government, State government,
the federal government, or any government agency, grant, charitable organization, or any third -party.
3.3 Payment Schedule. Unless the parties otherwise agree to a payment schedule as set forth herein, Owner agrees to
pay Contractor's invoice within 30 days of receipt by the Owner.
[INSERT FIXED PAYMENT SCFIEDULE IF APPLICABLE]
3.4 Adjustments to Contract Sum. It is understood that the Work may be subject to change due to unknown factors.
Such changes may result in a revised amendment which may increase the price and scope of the Work. It is understood that
the Work may be subject to change due to unknown factors, those changes may result in a revised estimate, additional scope
or a supplement which may increase price and scope of the project. All non-insured code upgrades, deductibles, or work

upon in a written change order.
3.4.1 Application of Prevailing Wage Determinations. Contractor will comply with the Fair Labor Standards
Act and any applicable federal or State minimum wage laws during the performance of the Work. Owner warrants and
represents that it is not subject to, nor is it receiving funds subject to, prevailing wage determinations under federal laws,
such as the Davis -Bacon Act or the Service Contract Act, or under any similar or like State laws. Owner further
acknowledges and represents that it has not provided Contractor with any federal or State prevailing wage determinations.
Should Owner or Contractor subsequently be notified that the Work is subject to prevailing wage determinations, Owner
agrees to issue a written change order to comply with the applicable prevailing wage determination(s), plus a standard
mark-up for overhead and profit. Owner further agrees to pay and indemnify Contractor for any and all penalties a State or
Federal agency may assess under prevailing wage laws. Should Owner and Contractor disagree on the applicable prevailing
wage rate(s), the Owner agrees to pay the amount determined by the State or Federal agency or the amount listed by the
United States Department of Labor in its wage determination for the applicable classification in the appropriate jurisdiction
or the appropriate similar/like State wage determination, whichever is higher and necessary to comply with the law.
3.5 Payment Source. Owner understands and agrees to pay Contractor the Contract Sum, along with any adjustments
and amounts owed under this Section 3 regardless of whether Owner receives funds from its insurer(s), local government,
State government the federal government or any government agency, grant charitable organization or third -party.

not be contingent, dependent or conditioned on Owner's insurer(s), local government State government the federal
government, or any government agency, grant, charitable organization or third -party. Owner understands that Contractor
will maintain job records for a period of no more than three years. Should Owner desire to maintain records for a longer
period, Owner shall request copies from Contractor and agrees to pay the costs associated with such preservation or copies.

any cost of time impacts arising out of defects in the work of Owner's separate contractors to the extent such defects were
not reasonably discoverable upon a cursory visual inspection. The parties acknowledge that Contractor has little opportunity

er set forth above.
15.1 Independent Parties. The Contractor is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Owner. Nothing in

relationship between Owner and Contractor, or as creating any contractual obligation, whether direct, indirect or third party
beneficiary, on the part of Owner to any Subcontractor.
15.2 Force Majeure. Any delay or failure by either party in the performance of its obligations shall not constitute a
default or give rise to any claim for damages if, and only to the extent and for such period of time that; (i) such delay or

Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall thereafter be inoperative, provided
however, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding.

EXHIBIT A- SCOPE OF WORK
S Boeing Access Rd f Airport Way S
Homeless Encampment
The encampment, dubbed "Hilltop", is a small piece of land that sits directly south
of S Boeing Access Rd and in the loop that is created by Airport Way S. It is
approximately 100yds long and 25 yds wide and sits what is believed to be Public
Right of Way.
• Tukwila iMap has no owner information for the parcel and as such has
been interpreted by Code Enforcement as Public Right of Way.
Contacts / Outreach:
We became aware of this encampment roughly 2 years ago. Since then, we have
made numerous contacts with the occupants of the encampment. Initially, it was
simply to do welfare checks and with the implementation of the SOP, it quickly
turned in to outreach. At the time, there was only 3 occupants in the
encampment, a couple and a single male. The area has always had garbage and
debris but was not visible from the roadway.
Efforts in the area included Catholic Community Services and Sound Mental
Health case workers. Resources were provided but none were taken.
We had one success with the female occupant. She was connected with CCS and
reunited with her son in Louisiana. She has since returned due to her son enabling
her drug addiction.
Potential Criminal Element:
Every time we walk the camp there is evidence of heavy drug use. Drug
paraphernalia is visible everywhere you look and there are numerous pieces of
equipment (bicycles, lawn mowers, etc.) present. Efforts thus far have been
primarily to offer resources and check on welfare.
Likely due to the heavy drug activity, one of the camps occupants suffered a heart
attack and was unable to get medical assistance promptly. Rather, the medical
episode passed, and the occupant walked themselves down to the Chevron gas
station where aid was requested. They were hospitalized and kept there for
observation for several days. Since then, the same occupant has had open heart
surgery. Self admittedly, they still use narcotics.
Effects on local area:
It is not proven but is my belief that occupants of the camp are the same ones pan
handling at 108/EMWS thus generating numerous complaints via SeeClickFix. This
also spreads to the 112th TIB area.
Encampment Growth:
Over the last 6 months, the encampment has grown exponentially. Garbage and
debris are now visible from the roadway and as of two weeks ago there were now
approximately 7 occupants. The area is well known amongst the transient
community and as such is home for short periods of time to many who are
passing through.
OSA's:
In August of 2019, I was contacted by a Captain with KCSO. They wanted to bring
the encampment to my attention. I informed them that we were aware of it and
that we are working on trying to figure out who owned the parcel to try and find a
resolve. To date, there is no confirmed information as to who owns it. As far as
we are able to tell, it is Public Right of Way thus no one jurisdiction has
ownership. However, the land does sit in the City of Tukwila and as such we have
a vested interest in it.
KCSO, WSDOT and SDOT have all stated this is not their area.
Due to this issue, we have not effectively enforced our SOP and given the
standard 72-hour notice to vacate.
Potential Clean Up Costs:
It is my belief that to clean this area, we will need a coordinated multi -
jurisdictional partnership. There is simply to much garbage / debris on site to have
Tukwila Public Works do the cleanup. Recently, Public Works assisted PD in a
cleanup of an encampment on TIB. The area was roughly 25 yards long and 10
yards wide and between equipment, wages and dump fee's the total cost of the
cleanup was approximately $5000. If this is any indication of cost to clean up
encampments, I believe this particular location can reach the 10's of thousands to
accomplish a thorough cleanup.
Pictured below is the space cleaned up by Public Works running a total of $5000.
Update:
On 11/07/2019 Officers went to the location and obtained drone footage of the
encampment. In addition, there were several individuals on site who claimed to
not live there however have been staying there on occasion for days at a time.
This confirms that the location is now a well-known spot for the homeless
community to stop in at.
Public Works was also asked to come do a site visit. They were asked to give a
rough estimate of what it would cost (using city resources) to clean up the
encampment. They cited several barriers in being able to do the job. The two
primary ones were that there was a very large amount of bio waste that they are
not very well trained on cleaning as well as the fact that they cannot get heavy
equipment to the site due to the lite rail being so low to the ground. Due to this
the job would have to be done by hand extending the amount of time the clean
up would take. In their estimation, it would take roughly two weeks to clean and
run approximately $50,000. They admitted that this cleanup would be too much
for them to handle given their current level of manpower.
Recommendation:
We have now determined that the property on which the encampment sits
actually belongs to City of Tukwila. Standard protocol calls for checking welfare,
offering resources and then posting a "No Trespassing" sign giving them a 72 hour
notice to vacate.
It is my opinion that this encampment requires more than the standard protocol.
Given the size, the longevity of some of the occupants and now how popular the
area is within the local homeless community (many day to day visitors), I believe
that a unique approach is required.
I recommend the following:
O Meeting with other stakeholders and finding a solution to keep others
from going back in post clean up.
o Fencing, shrub removal, etc.
o Get a hard date / time for this to occur.
• Conduct a one time visit with resource partners, offering resources to all
who are on site.
o Catholic Community Services, Sound Health, etc.
• Posting "No trespassing" signs per protocol
o I would recommend not doing this until we have a hard date set for
clean up. With an encampment of this magnitude, I believe that it is
best to not "bluff" and have an actual hard date for both offering
resources and clean up in concurrence with the 72 hour cleanup.
o This would allow for prompt enforcement of the SOP and immediate
mechanisms being put in place to deter others from re -occupying
the area.
• List of suggested stakeholders / representatives:
o King County Sheriffs Office / Metro
o Sound Transit
o City of Tukwila — Officials
o City of Tukwila — Police
o City of Tukwila — Human Services
o City of Tukwila — Public Works
o Outreach Partners — CCS, Sound Health

PROJECTED SCOPE OF WORK
This estimate does not allow for delivery of dumpsters inside the encampment. It is the most cost efficient method but allows
for extra time necessary to provide services safely.
