INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director/ City Engineer
CC: Mayor Allan Ekberg
DATE: April 15, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Works Shops Phase 2 Introduction
Project Next Steps
Issue
Recommendation on next steps for Public Works Phase 2 (Administration Building Project) and
ensuring full development potential within the shoreline and critical areas for the City -owned property.
Background
As we are completing Phase One of the Fleet & Facilities Tenant Improvement Project, located on the
western parcel of the new Public Works property, we are anticipating moving forward with development
of the eastern parcel of the same property, where the UPS site currently resides. This eastern parcel
will house the Public Works Utilities and Street Maintenance employees, and all of their functions, that
are currently located at the Minkler Shop and consolidate all remaining public work storage areas. The
eastern parcel will include an Administration building, covered storage for all vehicles and equipment,
as well as other functions.
Total Public Works site (10.86 acres) configuration (see attached map):
Overall, the City Public Works Department purchased a total of approximately 10.86 acres, which are
generally flat, consisting of industrial buildings and paved areas. The properties are zoned
Manufacturing Industrial Center/Heavy (MIC/H).
Western parcels — Fleet and Facilities building — approximately 4 acres — houses all functions formerly
at George Long Shops — City secured property in 2018, designed in 2019-2020, built Phase One in
2021-2022 — expected move in date May 2022.
Eastern Parcel — Public Works Utilities, Street Maintenance and Administration Building —
approximately 6.8 acres — houses all functions currently at Minker shops, Longacres property and other
storage areas within the City - City secured purchase in 2018, City will secure full ownership on
November 1, 2023, once current UPS lease expires.
City Secured Full Property Build Out via Department of Ecology Waiver in 2021
On October 5, 2021, City of Tukwila received regulatory relief from the Department of Ecology under
the Shoreline Management Act (SMA) and the Tukwila Shoreline Master Program (SMP) under RCW
90.58.580. The development of the new shoreline restoration project, Chinook Winds, just due South of
the Western parcel, created a landward shift to the Ordinary High Water Mark, pushing the shoreline
jurisdiction area into the City -owned property. This will allow construction of some structures located
within those portions of the property that were not already in shoreline jurisdiction prior to the
restoration construction and aforementioned change to the Ordinary High Water Mark, caused by the
development of Chinook Winds (see next page for diagram).

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

This is an important milestone in the overall plan for the Public Works campus development, as it
preserves the buildable area for the property, as long as the shoreline regulations do not change in the
near future. The next change in shoreline regulations, expected in the next 7 to 8 years (2028), could
inhibit the City's ability to build on the entire property; thus, we should begin the next phase now to
ensure being protected by `legacy status' approval of the project.
Analysis
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 Shops.
As part of the combined Public Works Shops project, the Phase One Fleet & Facilities Tenant
Improvement (TI) building was constructed, including seismic, building systems, and functional
upgrades. This will allow the Fleets and Facilities group to relocate from the existing inefficient and
seismically unsafe George Long facility to a seismically updated facility with much more space for daily
operations, not only for today's workload, but also to serve future capacity. Moving the Fleet and
Facilities functions to the new Fleet & Facilities 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. Following Council's direction, staff is now preparing to plan for Phase Two of the
Public Works Shops project, which will entail moving staff from Minkler into a new Administration
building for Public Works.
The City will receive full ownership of the Eastern Parcel on November 1, 2023 once the current UPS
lease expires. It is recommended to begin preparing now for the construction of the structures on this
site and especially those structures that will be located within the shoreline jurisdiction buffer areas —
thereby securing the Public Works department's full potential for buildable areas. As project design,
permitting and bidding process can take up to two years on a substantial development of a new
building, it is recommended that the Public Works Utilities and Street Administration building (which is
planned in the protected area) design process begin as soon as possible.
In order to preserve the full scope of buildable lands, the City must begin the process to get the project
to the permitting phase, which vests the project and therefore preserves the ability for the City to fully
utilize the land. The total costs to get the project to the permitting phase is $3.4M.
The $3.4M will complete 100% design of the Administration building and move the City closer to
accomplishing the goal of a combined Public Works Shops site. There will be additional design and
construction of storage, covered parking areas, and decant facility to achieve the combined Public
Works Shops site to meet program projections

Funding Path
As has been stated by Councilmembers, there is more funding available for public projects through
grants this year. Recognizing these additional funding opportunities and knowing of these tight
deadlines, on April 8th, the City applied for Congressman Adam Smith Community Project Funding,
which would cover $1.7M in design costs (with no match required) over the period of September 2022 -
September 2023. Staff also plan to apply for further grant funding in June or July. These grant funds
could be used to offset the general fund portion of the design costs.
For this Public Works project, there has been a Council policy that the users who benefit pay their
proportionate share. Therefore, 50% is funded from the general fund and 50% is funded from utilities
(sewer, water, surface water), as outlined in the D20 Financing Model.
With the expected $3.4M cost for design, $1.7M will be paid for by the Enterprise Funds, which was
included in the 2021-2022 Council Adopted Budget, and $1.7M will come from the General Fund. Staff
anticipate that the General Fund portion of the revenue could come from various sources. These could
include grants, additional land sale proceeds, or other means.

Staff will seek a Request for Qualifications proposal for the design work and return to Council in the
next months with the results of the RFQ along with cost proposals to present opportunities to move
forward, maintain project momentum, and ensure the City is prepared for the property transfer in the
last quarter of 2023.
Next Steps
1. Staff works on the Council -adopted policy to consolidate all PW buildings in one place.
2. Completion of the Phase One Tenant Improvement Project and staff move in May 2023.
3. Start the procurement process for the NE project team for the new Administration Building by
advertising the Request for Qualifications in the second quarter of 2022.
4. Select the consultant and bring the contract to the Council for approval in the third quarter of
2022.
5. Bring the Schematic Design to Council to discuss updated cost estimates, square footage,
design process, and project delivery options.
6. Examine funding path after grant options are finalized.
7. Start the building design and permitting process. In preparation for the design starting after
the NE team procurement, some of the Owner consultants, such as geotechnical engineers
and survey team, will have to be selected and contracted to begin work on reports and survey.
8. Take ownership of the UPS property on November 1, 2023.
