INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director
BY: Michael Ronda, Project Manager
CC: Mayor Allan Ekberg
DATE: September 15, 2023
SUBJECT: 2022 Overlay and Repair Project - Project No. 80010401, Contract No. 22-078
Project Completion and Acceptance
ISSUE
Accept contract as complete and authorize release of insurance, retainage and performance bond.
BACKGROUND
The Notice to Proceed for Contract No. 22-078 with Tucci and Sons Inc, of Tacoma, Washington was
issued on July 14, 2022 for the 2022 Overlay and Repair Project. The project included: pavement
repairs, sidewalk improvements, signal improvements, and an asphalt overlay at seven locations
citywide. For the 2022 Overlay, multiple projects related to City street improvements were combined to
take advantage of economies of scale and improved coordination between different aspects of the
work, including Overlay & Repair, Small Drainage, ADA improvements, and the Neighborhood Traffic
Calming Program (NTCP). The attached map shows the areas for the various components.
ANALYSIS
Construction was physically complete on August 9, 2023 after an extended punch list performance by
the contractor. The budget for the 2022 Overlay & Repair construction was $1,612,609.75 prior to
contingency. An 8% contingency was applied to the bid amount, bringing that total authorized for
construction to $1,741,618.53. One Change Order was performed under the contract for additional
conduits at the 144th pedestrian crossing. A portion of the work was removed from the contract to
provide time for Water District 125 to upgrade an old waterline in 37th Ave S. That work was deferred to
this year's Annual Overlay scope. Under -runs were primarily due to fewer quantities needed during the
roadway excavation, haul and repair of the various roadway sections.
Construction Contract Amount $1,612,609.75
Additions/Change Orders 26,665.52
Under -runs (141,201.38)
Total Amount to be Paid $ 1,498,073.89
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to formally accept the project as complete and authorize the release of the
insurance, retainage and performance bonds, subject to standard claim and lien release procedures, for
the 2022 Overlay and Repair Project construction contract with Tucci and Sons, Inc. in the final amount
of $1,498,073.89 and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the October 2, 2023 Regular Meeting.

DATE: September 12, 2023
SUBJECT: WSDOT TDM Program Allocation 2023-2025
ISSUE
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program is asking for approval to accept the biennial
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) TDM allocation funding (also known as the
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Program).
BACKGROUND
The City's CTR Program is mandated by the state and operational since 1991. There are 16 CTR-
affected worksites in Tukwila (including the City of Tukwila). Employers are required to complete
biennial Program Reports and Employee Surveys to track progress toward goals. The TDM Program
provides many services to assist employers with implementation of TDM Programs including
consultation, training for Employee Transportation Coordinators, and employee outreach support.
DISCUSSION
WSDOT has provided a biennial allocation for the City's TDM Program since 1993. Funding had been
flat at $74,204 for many years but as a result of the Move Ahead Washington transportation package
passed in 2022, the funding formula was updated and the amount increased to $93,300. The work plan
will include updating the City's CTR Plan, which was last updated for 2015-2019.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the general fund. The allocation provides a consistent source of funding for
the TDM Program, which is leveraged by concurrent TDM grants.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to accept the $93,300 award from WSDOT and consider this item on the
Consent Agenda at the October 2, 2023, Regular Meeting.

Project Purpose and Committee Charge
The City of Tukwila is planning for a financially sustainable future that balances the cost of City
programs, services, and infrastructure investments with equitable impacts to taxpayers and ratepayers.
As the City comes out of the pandemic, ongoing budget challenges remain. The City adopted strategies

• Reflect the Tukwila community's needs, values, and priorities.
• Consider how programs and services may change as the community continues to grow and change.
• Provide short-term and long-range strategies to maintain the City's financial stability, guiding both
operating and capital investments.
The Financial Sustainability Plan will be guided by a Financial Sustainability Committee and the Tukwila
City Council. It will be developed in collaboration with City staff and supported by BERK Consulting.
A Utility Rate Study will:
■ Help the City plan for financing major utility (water, sewer, and surface water) infrastructure
projects.
• Include recommendations for rates that:
o Align with customer usage.
o Can be adjusted as the community grows.
o Are equitable in their treatment of different customer types and their ability to pay.
This utility rate study will be supported by staff of FCS GROUP who will work in collaboration with City
staff and in conjunction with the Financial Sustainability Committee and Tukwila City Council.

Direction from City Council:
Process Guidance and Evaluative Criteria
[Introductory text will be similar to this: On October 2, 2023, the Tukwila City Council approved the
following guidance to inform the planning process and Financial Sustainability Committee's evaluation of
options. This guidance may be modified by a recommendation of the Financial Sustainability Committee if
subsequently approved by Council.]
Process Guidance
The process for developing the Financial Sustainability Plan must be:
■ Inclusive. The planning process must be conducted in a way that is fully inclusive of Committee
member perspectives, providing members opportunities to voice their opinions in a way that is
comfortable for them. In addition, it is critical that supporting analysis and strategy development
fully considers the diverse range of residents and businesses that make up the Tukwila community.
■ Open, Accessible, and Fair. Every effort must be made to eliminate barriers to participation in the
planning process, making it easy for Committee members to contribute effectively. This may include
consideration of financial and language barriers, as well as the provision of additional support
between meetings to make sure all Committee members have a full grasp of analytic materials
provided to them.
■ Tukwila -specific. The Committee should be guided by Tukwila -specific values and context, including
an understanding of community demographics, Tukwila's particular revenue base, and the
importance of City services to community members.
■ Analytically -based. Committee thinking and recommendations should be informed by expert
financial analysis, best practices, and benchmarking provided by City staff and the consulting team.
■ Transparent. Meeting materials should be shared with Financial Sustainability Committee members in
advance of meetings. All meeting materials, including meeting summaries, should be posted on the
City's website for easy access by all members of the Tukwila community.
Evaluative Criteria
As the Committee develops its recommendations, options and strategies should be evaluated against at
least the following criteria to ensure that final recommendations balance the City's financial sustainability, the
provision of City services that meet community expectations, and equity in costs and services.
■ Equity. Who will the strategy impact and how will that be different among different residential and
business groups? Who would be helped and who would be harmed, and how does that correspond
to historical and structural patterns?
■ Cost. What is the cumulative impact of costs imposed by the City and other levels of government on
these groups? How can impact be best aligned with ability to pay? How can impact be best aligned
with benefit received, so there is a direct relationship between contribution and benefit?
40 :l1I Review Draft 9/26/23 City of Tukwila I Financial Sustainability Plan — Process and Product Framing
4
• Magnitude and Growth. How meaningful will the impact of potential strategies be compared to the
City's overall budget? How will this magnitude change over time?
• Stability. Is the strategy firm and steady or is it volatile and subject to large fluctuations?
• Sustainability. Can the strategy continue into and be counted on in the future?
• Alignment with Priorities. How well does the strategy align with the community priorities? Can
strategies adapt over time as community priorities change?
• Feasibility. Can the City practically implement the strategy, with a reasonable level of effort and
within a reasonable period of time? How politically feasible is this strategy? What type of approval
does it need?
• Impact to Other Services. If a strategy is implemented, how might it directly or indirectly impact the
provision of other services?
City of Tukwila Equity Policy
Tukwila's Equity Policy (Resolution 1921, adopted by the Tukwila City Council in 2017), will guide
both process and evaluation of recommendations. Equity is defined in the Policy as "Eliminating
systemic barriers and providing fair access to programs, services and opportunities to achieve social,
civic and economic justice within the City of Tukwila." The Resolution establishes six Policy Goals which
are listed here. These are listed below, with supporting text provided for those Policy Goals that are
particularly relevant to the Financial Sustainability planning process.
1. Our City workforce reflects our community.
2. Community outreach and engagement is relevant, intentional, inclusive, consistent and
ongoing.
3. All residents and visitors receive equitable delivery of City services.
The City will identify strategies that facilitate equitable access to current and future City services
and facilities, regardless of race/ethnicity, language, ability, gender, age, family status,
geography, and mode of transportation.
4. City government is committed to equity in the decision -making process.
The City will identify strategies to facilitate equitable access to decision -making, where the
decisions themselves -- and the process and context in which they are made -- are transparent.
equity serves as a core value for all long-term plans moving forward.
5. Equity serves as a core value for all long-term plans moving forward.
The City will apply its Equity Toolkit in its evaluation of outcomes and strategies.
6. The City will build capacity around equity within City government and the broader
community.

Initiative Title: Organic Solutions: Empowering Food Businesses for Sustainable Waste Management
Funding Amount: $83,000.00
Initiative Summary:
This project will support food service businesses across the City of Tukwila, the City of Burien, and the
City of Maple Valley in setting up organics services and establishing best practices to comply with the
new Organics Management Law. The cities will work with a consultant to identify and perform outreach
at priority businesses for organics service, with a focus on frontline businesses that need to comply by
2024 and 2025. This project is a collaboration between the City of Tukwila, the City of Burien, and the
City of Maple Valley.

generating facility. The materials will be available in the top 3 most common languages for the
municipalities. Applicable materials will be printed for distribution.
• Develop potential survey questions, outreach protocols, staff training, and determine data
tracking processes.
Task 2: Site Visits and Outreach
• Visit identified priority businesses to conduct outreach and provide educational materials about
the Organics Management Law.
• Provide technical assistance to identified businesses, which includes working with the business
to set up organics service, a walk-through of the site, providing one starter slim jim for back -of -
house food waste collection, working with the business to determine where the organics cart
will be placed, and providing additional outreach and educational materials as needed.
• Conduct follow-up visits to check for contamination in the organics bin.
• Conduct surveys with businesses to assess the effectiveness of the program and understand
lessons learned.
Project Outcomes:
Projected outcomes from this project include:
• Increase the number of businesses in each city (25 per city) that subscribe to organics service

launch the planting season next month. Banners, flyers and yard signs have gone out. This

Crystal Springs Park, and Duwamish Hill Preserve through work parties, stewards and
professional crews.

• 2023 Annual Overlay Program: Estimated Completion: Oct 2023
The Annual Overlay program is a maintenance program focused on keeping the City's streets
in good or better condition for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Construction started on
July 10, 2023. The following streets are in the program and have the following updates:
o S. 139th St., 51st Ave. S, 52nd Ave S, S. 137th St. - Asphalt overlay has been completed
on the surface streets surrounding the play fields by Foster Memorial Park. Remaining
work includes channelization, crosswalk items, new chain link fence transition at
53rd/139th. One item of note, there are a couple of spots in this area that are holding
water after heavy rains. We are looking at options to correct these issues.
O 32nd Ave. S, 33rd Pl S - Asphalt overlay has been completed. Punch list items remain.
o S 140th St. - Asphalt overlay has been completed. Replacement of the asphalt speed
humps between 33rd Place and 35th Avenue needs to be completed.
O 35th Ave. S - Asphalt overlay has been completed.
o S. 142nd St., 37th Ave. S - Water District 125 waterline installation on these streets is
scheduled to be completed this week with base pavement and overlay to follow within
the next two weeks.
o S. 144th St. - Asphalt overlay has been completed in this area. Final channelization
remains.
O 42nd/119th Pedestrian Crossing - The majority of the work at this crossing has been
completed short of final channelization, installation of the flashing beacons and
handrail (both due to long lead time procurement constraints). We are also tracking a
failing concrete test on the eastern half of the raised crosswalk which may require
removal/replacement of half of the new crosswalk section.
