SUBJECT:
Public Safety Plan
Focus on Public Works Shop — Part 1 of 2
Issue
This memo serves as a comprehensive effort to highlight the history of the Tukwila Public
Safety Plan with a focus on the Public Works Shop. This memo is part one of a two-part
process to provide background to the City Council in preparation for reviewing the bids in
October 2020 for the Phase 1 Tenant Improvements of the Public Works Shop.
This Part 1 memo is focused on the history and timeline of the Public Works Shop and will be
discussed at the August 17 Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The Part 2 memo will be focused on the budget, financing, options and other Council questions
and will be presented at a possible special meeting of the Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee between August 31 to September 11, or at its September 21 meeting.
History and Timeline
The need for a new, safe, and efficient Public Works Shop Facility has been recognized and
studied for several years. This includes the 2007 Seismic Study of all City Facilities and the
2014 Facility Need Study. In 2016, City Council adopted the Public Safety Plan, which included
a new combined Public Works Shop. The City secured a location in 2018, created a master
plan in 2019, and is currently on track to go out to bid for tenant improvements in September
2020. Council review of the tenant improvements will be in October/November 2020 and
construction is planned to be completed by August 2021. (Appendix A highlights these studies)
It should be noted that a significant amount of history of the Public Safety Plan is preserved on
the City's website and is a resource that goes back to the initial facilities plan, which is at
TukwilaWA.gov/PublicSafetyPlan. In addition, all of Council's actions — and therefore staff
reports and information that initiated them — are available at the City's digital records center.
Siting and Acquisition
As a part of the deliberation on the Public Safety Plan, the Council created a Siting Advisory
Committee in 2017 to provide input and advice on the siting of all of the Public Safety Plan
projects. The Siting Advisory Committee included two Councilmembers, four residents, and the

Public Works Director. Selection criteria was created and used to evaluate options for sites
and open houses were held. The current site was selected as the preferred alternative.
The City began negotiations with the property owners and secured the current sites in 2018
and 2019. The City acquired Phase 1 sites, the Heiser and Lifestyle Landscape site in July
2019, and will be conveyed the Phase 2 site, the Amalfi/Temkin (UPS) site in November 2023
to allow the current tenant, UPS, to complete it lease.
Funding
The Public Works facility was originally funded at $30M as part of funding model commonly
known as D-20.1. Half of the funds for the Public Works facility comes from the General Fund
and the other half from the Enterprise Funds. The General Fund resources include land sales
from the George Long, Longacres and Minkler Shops, and issuing councilmanic bonds
(LTGO). King County Flood Control District is actively pursuing purchasing the George Long
and Minkler Shops from the City.
The current budget for the Public Works Shop is now $35.7 million. Council most recently
updated the D-20 Model in November 2019 for the Public Works Shops Phase 1 plan and a
contract for design of the Public Works Shops tenant improvements in December 2019. The
$35.71VI includes additional seismic improvements to the original Heiser building along with
$500,000 specified for improvements to the Minkler facility.
Masterplan
In October 2018, the City Council approved a contract with SHKS Architects to create a
masterplan for the Public Works Facilities to be located on the former Heiser and UPS
properties the consulting services contract with SHKS Architects.
From October of 2018 through September 2019, SHKS worked closely with the Public Works
staff to create a preferred alternative for a comprehensive master plan. SHKS has formulated
several phasing alternatives that starts with the tenant improvement scope of work for the Fleet
and Facilities group to move into the Heiser building. In November 2019, the City demolished
the former Landscape Building on site.
This first phase of improvements to the former Heiser building includes all of the "must haves"
identified by Fleet and Facility staff (such as floor drains, site lighting and locker rooms, as
examples). This results in an opportunity for City of Tukwila to keep moving forward with the
Public Works Department's ultimate goal of relocating all departments on one single site, as
different funding sources become available over the next decade or more.
Phase 1 - Tenant Improvements & Seismic Upgrades for the Fleet and Facility Building
In December 2019, the Council approved moving forward on Phase 1 of the Master Plan and
appropriated an overall budget of $35.7 Million for the project and approved a design contract
amendment with SKHS to move forward on design and construction of Phase 1.

The Phase I Tenant Improvement (TI) scope of work (seismic, building systems and functional
upgrades) for the use of Heiser property for the Fleet and Facilities group and program on the
current George Long Shop as well as the soils and equipment storage on the Longacres Site.
This will allow the Fleets and Facilities group to relocate from the existing inefficient and
seismically unsafe Long facility to a seismically updated facility with much more space for daily
operations, not only for today's workload, but also serve future capacity. Moving the Fleet and
Facilities functions to the former Heiser building will be a significant improvement of the work
environment for staff and enhance their ability to work efficiently, particularly for the Fleet
division.
After these uses have been relocated, the George Long Shops and Longacres Sites will be
sold and used to finance the Public Safety Plan, including the Public Works Shop, per the
Council adopted D20 Financing Model.

Appendix A
Facility Studies
Over the past ten years, the City has numerous facility studies that have detailed the facility
history, analysis, and provided recommendations for facility updates and replacements.
2007 Reed Middleton Report This report provided analysis and recommendations of
the seismic concerns for all City facilities, including the Public Works buildings.
2014 Facility Need Study by Rice, Fergus, Miller This plan was the basis and
foundation for Public Safety Plan. In four main phases it identified the current and future
needs, a review of the current facilities, an analysis of how needs matched current
facility, and a recommendation for meeting needs for all facilities, including Public
Works buildings. It was during this time that the plan for a combined Public Works Shop
was identified along with the size, program, and costs that led to the final Public Safety
Plan. At this time, the estimated costs of a new facility, including land, was estimated at
$30 million.
2016 Plan B Public Safety Plan This plan identified Public Works as one of the Public
Safety facilities that would be addressed (along with Police and Fire) during this phase
of implementing the Facility Need Study. The Council adopted the full Public Safety
Plan and chose to finance the Public Works Shop facilities through General Fund and
Utility funds rather than including them in the Public Bond vote.
Wagner Report In 2017, the City asked Wagner Architects to verify the actual space
needs for a new Public Works facility, which originally was identified as needing up to
15 acres. The Wagner Report completed a quick survey of other Public Works facilities
in the region and determined that an estimated 10 acres would most likely meet the
current and future needs for Tukwila Public Works. This information was used during
the siting process to narrow the selection of sites.
2018 Adopted D-20 Plan In June 2018, the Council adopted a financing and
implementation plan for the Public Safety Plan, which has been updated as progress
has been made. During this process, the new estimated cost of a Public Works facility
was shown as an option, approximately $60 million for a new building and $45 million
for a refurbished building, to include land costs. The option of staying within the original
$30 million was what was adopted by the Council.
