Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Works Campus, Phase 2
Project No. 92230601
ISSUE
Update on the City of Tukwila Public Works Campus, Phase 2.
BACKGROUND
On September 19 the City Council authorized the Mayor to execute an agreement with Miller
Hayashi Architects to conduct a "Test -to -Fit Analysis" for Phase 2 of the Public Works Campus.
The following provides a brief update on the work since the Committee was last briefed on the
Test to Fit on October 17, 2022:
• All hand meetings were held with the Public Works rank and file staff to solicit their input
on site layout and functions. These meetings have provided significant data that the
design team is using on proposed concepts for the layout. A word map showing some of
the important goals and visions from staff regarding the facility is attached with this
memo.
• King County provided a letter to the City (see attached) expressing interest in exploring a
shared decant facility. King County currently operates a decant facility at its south Metro
base, but this will be closed and King County is in need of a replacement. Staff is also
reaching to adjacent cities and private companies to inquire about interest in using a
decant facility. A shared facility will bring additional partners in who can help with capital
costs and operational costs.
• Staff has had preliminary discussions with the City of SeaTac about the City of Tukwila
providing fleet maintenance services. This could provide additional revenue for capital
and operational costs.
• Staff is looking at ways to connect the community to the space. The location near the
Duwamish River provides a possible opportunity to connect the community to the water.
Staff would like to conduct an open house with the community in the area to solicit
community feedback and input.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City Council has already authorized the test to fit work. There is no immediate funding
request at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Discussion only.

VISION AND GOALS
Public Works is the
backbone of the City.
This is an opportunity to
highlight this to the public.
Public Works keeps the City
in good working order
Flood protection from the river
Assign electric vehicles for staff
Working as a team
Incorporating the river and improving
the shoreline is important and would
be great to utilize
Identity
Making people happy and
keeping people safe
Clearing the snow - when no
one else is in the city, Public
Works is on the job.
Too much differentiation
between groups is not good,
all part of the same team
We keep public safety
vehicles on the road
Celebrate successes, sharing
stories and pictures of past
projects

RE: May 2, 2022 King County Metro and City of Tukwila meeting response. King County Metro review
of interdepartmental interest in new decant facility
This letter includes information we pulled together this summer. Apologies we did not finalize our draft
sooner to send to you.
We understand the City is moving forward with plans to design and build a vactor decant facility at your
new public works facility, and you are interested in King County Metro as a potential partner in sharing
the cost of development. King County Metro has significant interest in exploring this option as we seek
options to relocate our enviroshed facility currently housed at our South Annex Base site.
As discussed, the County contacted departments internally to solicit interest in King County using
Tukwila's proposed new facility. Departments with interest are the Roads, Parks, and Airport Divisions.
Most of our other departments use the King County Roads Division decant facility in Renton for
stormwater solid waste treatment and disposal of other unsuitable waste, so there is minimal interest
from other King County entities at this time.
King County Metro does not use the Roads Division facility in Renton due to our specific decanting
needs, including contaminated solids that would not be permitted at the County facility. Our
Environmental Scientist, Talon Swanson, estimates that Metro generates 260 tons of solids annually -
this is comprised of 65% contaminated solids and 35% stormwater solids. Approximately 5% of this solid
waste is highly contaminated and in need of specific contract disposal bypassing at our decant facility.
These solids are a result of approximately 80,000 gallons we process annually. Depending on the specific
load and the ability to decant, loads vary in contaminant level and range of free liquids (from 0-90%).
These materials are collected by the same two trucks, servicing our entire system of bases and facilities.
King County Metro maintains its interest in the City of Tukwila's proposed decanting facility for its waste
disposition needs. We propose further discussion with the City and its design consultants to assess how
Metro's needs could be accommodated at the proposed facility. We can also share our current practices
11
for collecting, treating, and disposing of liquids and solids to explore what changes may make sense to
implement while considering a new shared facility.
Our own planning to build a replacement facility is on hold while we work with you to explore this
potential partnership agreement. Please let us know what additional information you may need. Your
contact on this project is Ken Young, and Talon Swanson will be looped in as needed for expertise on
current permits and practices at King County Metro.
Thanks for your interest in exploring this partnership.
