I. PRESENTATIONS
Southcenter Parkwav Extension Uodate
Mike Roberts with KBA Inc. gave a PowerPoint presentation to the Committee regarding project progress. He
showed pictures of the project including, but not limited to, the construction of the joint utility trench, paving,
storm drain vault and installation, storm drain catch basin and sanitary sewer construction.
Staff also provided a brief update on the status of the Southcenter Parkway Extension Project. Due to an issue
with an Army Corps of Engineers fill permit and a subsequent violation this project, which was originally
anticipated to be completed by January 2012, is now scheduled for completion in July 2012.
Remaining project work includes: grading, sidewalks, median curbs, sewer lift station, traffic signals,
illumination, landscaping, paving and channelization. Unfortunately, due to the delay mentioned above, the
construction management contract will need to be extended as their services are still needed through project
completion. See Agenda Item A below. INFORMATION ONLY.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Southcenter Parkwav Extension: KBA Construction Management Supplement No. 2
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplement No. 2 with KBA Inc. for an extension of construction
management services relating to the Southcenter Parkway Extension Project in the amount of $390,000.
As mentioned above permit issues, coupled with some unsuitable soil conditions, have caused a delay in the
anticipated project completion date. A resulting impact was the need to redesign the road over the cut -off
levee. Supplement No. 2 will extend KBA construction management services through September 30, 2012,
and brings the contract total to $2,913,950. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 23
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Boeing Access Road Bridge: Existing King Countv Interlocal Agreement
Staff is seeking Council approval for Discretionary Request #TK -003, within an existing Interlocal
Agreement between the City of Tukwila and King County, for repairs relating to the Boeing Access Road
Bridge in the amount of $67,000.
In late October, an inspection of the Boeing Access Road Bridge showed that a significant void was
developing under the west roadway approach to the bridge and was in need of repair. By the time a
recommended repair action and cost estimate were submitted by King County Road Division, City staff was
not able to take this item through the full Council approval process due to the December holiday schedule.
The repair work was considered critical and needed to be done as soon as possible; therefore, staff is
coming to Committee, post repair, for approval.
Transportation Committee Minutes
January 17, 2012 Pape 2
Staff reported that the final cost of repairs is anticipated to be approximately $53,000, which is well under
the cost estimate of $67,000. Funding will come from the Bridge Repair Services line item in the 2011
Budget. Committee Chair Ekberg stated that, in extenuating circumstances, he understands the need to
move forward with items such as this. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 23
