INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director
BY: Seong Kim, Deputy Public Works Director -Utilities
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 17, 2023
SUBJECT: Franchise Agreement with the City of Tukwila and the Valley View
Sewer District
ISSUE
Approve the Franchise Agreement with the City of Tukwila (The City) and the
Valley View Sewer District (VVSD).
BACKGROUND
The City is pursuing a Franchise Agreement with all the Water and Sewer Districts in
Tukwila. The City recently completed Franchise Agreements with Water District 125 and
Highline Water District; Valley View Sewer District is the last Water/Sewer Utility with a
significant presence in the City without a Franchise Agreement.
The City's goal in pursuing franchise agreements is to clarify various issues, including
permitting procedures, notice requirements before accessing and working in the ROW,
updated insurance and indemnification procedures, and application of applicable costs,
fees, or taxes. By entering into franchises with all the water and sewer districts, the City
can ensure that all the districts are treated equitably and that the processes and
procedures applied are similar. For example, it was sometimes difficult and time-
consuming for the districts to acquire necessary permits from the City, especially for
routine maintenance activities. Through the franchise agreements, the City can provide
the districts with "Blanket Activities" for routine maintenance activities, which, for VVSD,
comprises the majority of their permit process. This streamlined permit process will
create substantial cost savings for VVSD while ensuring the City's interests in properly
managing its ROW are protected. The City staff reviewed this approach's merits and
conducted extensive discussions on this subject.
DISCUSSION
1. This is the final water/sewer district operating in the City that the City plans to
enter a franchise agreement with.
2. VVSD serves 1974 residential customers and 166 business accounts located
within the City of Tukwila. The City finds that the entire sewer system operated
and maintained by VVSD is reasonably stable and reliable.
3. VVSD's revenue from the City was $1,563,408 in 2022. Accordingly, the annual
franchise fee of 6% would have generated $93,804 in 2022.
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
4. City staff found that establishing a franchise agreement that allows "Blanket
Activities" will be a win -win situation for both parties.
5. VVSD can carry out efficient operation and maintenance activities for the City's
residents by acquiring a time -saving permit process from the City, which can
save time and cost.
6. The City does not anticipate any negative impacts on its operation by allowing
"Blanket Permit Activities". "Blanket Permit Activities" will be specifically
determined every year.
"Blanket Activities" means:
• Routine maintenance activities which Include simple service for
customers, accessing and maintaining vaults, adjusting valves, vegetation
management, installing sampling stations, flushing activities, and lining pipes.
• Does not include cutting, removing, or disturbing the pavement surface. These
activities require permits from the City.
The City Attorney's office reviewed this draft and is in the process of negotiating it with
VVSD. VVSD's legal team tentatively agreed upon the draft for execution but is awaiting
their final board approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The VVSD's revenue of $1,563,408 came from the boundary of the City of Tukwila in
2022. The annual franchise fee, 6% of the revenue, would have been $93,804 in 2022.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the agreement and consider this item at the
Committee of the Whole Meeting on November 27, 2023 and the subsequent Consent
Agenda at the December 4, 2023 Regular Meeting.

CITY OF TUKWILA CONSIDERING 6% FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
The Board of Commissioners at Valley View Sewer District believes in keeping your sewer bill as
affordable as possible. Your local sewer rate (pre-treatment) is one of the lowest in the region. The
District is informing you that an additional expense may soon be added to your sewer bill.
The Tukwila City Council has directed City Staff to explore new revenue sources for the City that do not
require a vote by the citizens of Tukwila. A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT containing a 6% Charge may be
added to your sewer bill. This may increase your sewer bill $9.60 per billing cycle. This amount will
increase over time as your sewer bill increases. In addition, the City is reserving its right to impose a
utility tax if they determine additional City revenues are needed.

by such work, shall be restored pursuant to all federal, state and local standards and
specifications. The District agrees to promptly complete all restoration work and to

Section 4. Relocation of Facilities.
A. Whenever the City causes the grading or widening of the Franchise Area or
undertakes construction of City -owned utilities, storm drainage lines, lighting,
signalization, sidewalk improvements, pedestrian and bicycle amenities, or other public
street improvements (collectively "Public Improvement Projects") and the Public
Improvement Project requires relocation of the District's then -existing Facilities within
such Franchise Area, the City shall:
(1) Provide the District, at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
advertisement for bid of construction of such project, written notice that a project is
expected to require the relocation of District Facilities, together with reasonably accurate
and specific plans and specifications for such grading, widening, or construction and a
proposed new location within the Franchise Area for the District's Facilities. This period
of time shall be extended to three hundred sixty (360) days prior notice if the Public
Improvement Project exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); and
(2) Coordinate and work diligently with the District to minimize conflicts
between existing Facilities and the project improvements, and reduce Facility relocations,
where possible using the following procedure:
8
(a) Pursuant to RCW 35.21.905, or as amended, the City will consult
with the District in the predesign phase of any Public Improvement Project in order to
coordinate the project's design with District's Facilities within such project's area.
(b) The District shall participate in predesign meetings until such time
as (i) both parties mutually determine that District's Facilities will not be affected by the
Public Improvement Project, or (ii) until the City provides the District with written notice
regarding the relocation as provided in subsection (d) below.
(c) The District shall, during the predesign phase, promptly (within
fifteen (15) business days) evaluate and provide comments to the City related to any
alternatives to possible relocations. The City agrees to consider any alternatives
proposed by the District, but the final decision accepting or rejecting any specific
alternative shall be within the City's sole discretion.
(d) The City will provide the District with its decision regarding the
relocation of the District's Facilities as soon as reasonably possible, endeavoring to
provide no less than ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of the construction of
such Public Improvement Project; provided, however that in the event that the provisions
of a state or federal grant require a different notification period or process than that
outlined in Section 4.1, the City shall notify the District during the predesign meetings and
the process mandated by the grant funding shall control.
(e) After receipt of such notice, the District shall complete the relocation
of its Facilities so as to accommodate such Public Improvement Project consistent with
the timeline provided by the City, or as otherwise modified by the City, and at no charge
or expense to the City. Such timeline may be extended by a mutual agreement.
(f) The City may require the relocation of the Facilities at the District's
expense in the event of an unforeseen emergency that creates an immediate threat to
the public safety, health, or welfare. The District shall relocate its Facilities within the
reasonable time period specified by the City.
B. After receipt of such notice and such plans and specifications, District shall
relocate its Facilities within the Franchise Area to accommodate street and city
improvement projects; provided, however, the District may, after receipt of written notice
requesting a relocation of its Facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such
relocations. Such written notice must be received by the City within ninety (90) days of
receipt of the notice described in Section 4(A)(2) above. Within a reasonable time, the
City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise the District in writing whether one or more
of the alternatives is suitable to accommodate work that would otherwise necessitate
relocation of the Facilities. If requested by the City, the District shall submit such
additional information as is reasonably necessary to assist the City in making such
evaluation. The City shall give each alternative full and fair consideration. If the City
reasonably determines that there is no other feasible alternative, the City shall provide
the District with further written notice ("Secondary Notice") to that effect, and the District
shall then relocate its Facilities by its own forces, by separate public works contract or by
participating in the City's public works project in accordance with Section 4(G). The City
shall cooperate with the District to designate a substitute location for its Facilities within
the Franchise Area. The City will establish a date by which Facilities will be relocated,
9
which date will be not less than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the
Secondary Notice by the District as to the Facility to be relocated. The District must finish
relocation of each such Facility by the date so established.
C. The cost of relocating such Facilities existing within the Franchise Area shall
be paid as follows:
(1) If the relocation occurs within ten (10) years after the District or a third
party on the District's behalf constructed such Facility, then the City shall pay fifty percent
(50%) of the cost of such relocation and the District shall pay the remaining fifty percent
(50%).
(2) If the relocation occurs more than ten (10) years after the District or a
third party on the District's behalf constructed such Facility, then the relocation shall be
at the District's sole cost.
(3) For the purposes of this Section 3, the date of the Facility's acceptance
by the District Board of Commissioners, or the date of final contract payment for the
facility's installation (whichever occurs first), shall determine the age of the Facility.
(4) Whenever any State or Federal Agency with legal authority within the
Franchise Area requires the relocation of District Facilities, the relocation shall be at the
District's sole cost. This provision does not limit the District's rights to seek
reimbursement for the costs of such relocation from the State or Federal Agency requiring
the relocation.
(5) Subsection (1) of this Subsection 4(C) shall not apply to relocations of
District Facilities required as part of a formal declaration of emergency as defined in RCW
39.04.280(3) by the City, which is ratified by Resolution of the City Council. In such cases,
relocation, if necessary, shall be at the District's sole cost.
D. Whenever the City is undertaking a road or City -owned utility project or
improvement, the City will not use its authority to require the District to relocate sewer
facilities for third party franchise utilities (private utilities) on City -initiated aerial -to -
underground conversion projects. If conflicts between the aerial -to -underground joint -
trench and the District Facilities cannot be resolved, and relocation of District Facilities is
necessary, the District shall have the right as a pre -condition of such relocation to require
payment to the District for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the District in the
relocation of such District Facilities. On City -initiated projects requiring aerial -to -aerial
relocation of third party franchise utilities (private utilities), the District shall relocate that
portion of its Facilities which are in direct conflict with the new locations of the third party
franchise utility facilities, such as utility poles, or participate in securing the necessary
easements where no reasonable alternative location for the third party franchise utility
facilities exist within the then existing right-of-way.
E. For the purpose of this Section 4, a project or improvement is considered to be
caused by the City (as described in Section 4(A) above) if the project is City -initiated and
is part of the City's annually adopted Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Program, and
can include projects or improvements where a third party has made an in lieu payment
for a portion of the City's capital improvement project, provided, the City is responsible
for the majority of the cost of the project or improvement, which, if applicable, includes
10
any grant funding received by the City from any federal, state or local agency. A project
or improvement is not considered to be caused by the City if the project or improvement
is constructed by the City on behalf of a third party, where the third party is responsible
for the majority of the project or improvement cost and makes payment to the City in lieu
of performing the project or improvement.
F. Whenever any person or entity, other than the City, requires the relocation of
District Facilities to accommodate the work of such person or entity within the Franchise
Area (excluding State and Federal agencies with legal authority within the Franchise
Area), the City agrees not to use its authority to require the District to relocate the existing
Facilities. The District shall have the right as a pre -condition of such relocation to require
such person or entity to:
(1) Make payment to District at a time and upon terms acceptable to the
District for any and all costs and expense incurred by the District in the relocation of
District Facilities; and
(2) Protect, defend, indemnify and hold the District harmless from any and
all claims and demands made against it on account of injury or damage to the person or
property of another arising out of or in conjunction with the relocation of District Facilities,
to the extent such injury or damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
the person or entity requesting the relocation of District Facilities or other negligence or
willful misconduct of the agents, servants or employees of the person or entity requesting
the relocation of District Facilities.
G. If a City project requires the relocation of then existing Facilities within the
Franchise Area, the District shall have the right by interlocal agreement with the City to
include the relocation of any Facilities as required by the City as part of the City's public
works project. Such interlocal agreement shall include and provide for, but not be limited
to, the following terms and conditions:
(1) The inclusion of the District's work as part of the City's project;
(2) The District to provide plans and specifications of the District's work to
the City in a timely manner for inclusion as a separate bid schedule in the City project,
whether such District plans and specifications are prepared by the District at the District's
expense, or the City prepares the plans and specifications for the District's work at the
District's expense;
(3) The City bidding the project, including the District's work by separate bid
schedule, and the District's approval of the contractor's bid for the District's work in the
separate bid schedule, or, alternatively, the District's rejection of the contractor's bid for
the District work and the District's right to perform the District's work through a District
contractor, provided that in so doing the City's project is not unreasonably delayed;
(4) The City's contractor to install both the City work and the District work,
the City's obligation to pay the City's contractor for both the City work and the District
work, and the District's obligation to reimburse the City for the cost of the District work
performed by the City contractor.
(5) The District's obligation to reimburse the City for District project
administration and inspection fees and costs based on a time and materials basis,
11
provided the City and the District may negotiate a lump sum payment on a per project
basis, or a percentage of the total District project construction cost, and provided the
District shall not be required to pay for any City -issued permits related to the City work
and the District work.
H. The Parties expressly agree that this Section 4 shall not survive the expiration,
revocation or termination of this Franchise, unless modified by separate agreement.
Section 5. Right -of -Way Management.
A. Permit Requirements. Whenever the District excavates in any right-of-way
for the purpose of installation, construction, operation, maintenance, repair or relocation
of its Facilities, it shall apply to the City for a permit to do so in accordance with this
Franchise and the ordinances and regulations of the City requiring permits to operate in
City right-of-way. Except for emergencies or as otherwise provided for in this Franchise
and applicable City Ordinance, no District excavation work shall occur within any City
right-of-way without a permit. All work shall be done to the City's reasonable satisfaction.
B. Blanket Permits. The District may obtain a Blanket Activities Permit for Blanket
Activities, as defined in Section 1, performed in the City's rights -of -way. The permit will
be charged at the fee as identified in the City's Fee Schedule and hourly inspection fees
shall be paid monthly. Blanket Activities require submittal of typical traffic control
measures consistent with the MUTCD. Permits for Blanket Activities shall be valid for no
longer than twelve months.
C. Restoration after Construction. The District shall, after any installation,
construction, relocation, operation, maintenance or repair of Facilities within the
Franchise Area, restore the right-of-way to City standards as nearly as reasonably
possible to its condition prior to any such work. The District agrees to promptly complete
all restoration work and to promptly repair any damage to the right-of-way caused by such
work at its sole cost and expense. The District further agrees to repair or replace any
defective restoration work performed by the District or on its behalf consistent with the
City's Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards. If it is determined the District
has failed to restore the right-of-way in accordance with this Franchise and other
applicable City regulations or if the District's restoration work is subsequently determined
to be defective, the City shall provide the District with written notice. Any notice issued
by the City shall include a description of the actions the City believes necessary to restore
the right-of-way or repair or replace the work.
D. Bonding Requirement. The District, as a public agency, shall not be required
to comply with the City's standard bonding requirement for working in the City's rights -of -
way.
E. Emergency Work, Permit Waiver. In the event of an emergency where any
District Facilities located in the right-of-way are broken or damaged, or if the District's
construction area for the District's Facilities is in a condition as to place health or safety
of any person or property in imminent danger, the District shall immediately take any
necessary emergency measures to repair, replace or remove its Facilities without first
applying for and obtaining a permit as required by this Franchise; provided the District
shall notify the City as soon as reasonably possible relative to such emergency activity
12
and shall immediately obtain a permit for such activity if required by this Franchise or City
Ordinance.
F. City Work Zones. The District shall not be required to obtain a City right-of-
way permit to undertake utility work when the District has included its work as part of a
City public works project in accordance with Section 4(G).
G. City Invoices. The City shall invoice the District for all City fees and charges

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director/City Engineer
BY: Cyndy Knighton, Senior Program Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 3, 2023
SUBJECT: Local Road Safety Plan Portion of the Transportation Element
Project No. 72010405
Consultant Selection and Award
ISSUE
Execute an agreement with Fehr & Peers to provide engineering services in conjunction with
developing a Local Road Safety Plan to incorporate into the 2024 update to the Transportation
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND
In March of this year, the City accepted a grant through the Safe Streets For All (SS4A) program for
the development of a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). The grant award was for $200,000 with a City
match of $50,000. When originally scoping for the Transportation Element Update, staff had
indicated intent to include development of a LRSP as part of the work. Having an adopted LRSP is
becoming a requirement for some of the grants the City normally applies to, and getting funding
through the SS4A program opens the City up to additional grant sources. Because this work is
funded through a federal program, staff was required to go out for a competitive selection process to
hire a consultant.
DISCUSSION
A Request for Proposal was issued in June and two proposals were submitted. Interviews were
conducted at the end of July and early August, with staff ultimately selecting Fehr & Peers as the
best qualified for this effort. After negotiating the scope and fee, and ensuring this work effort was
closely connected with the work underway, and new supplemental agreement being presented, the
attached scope and fee was created.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The scope and fee of this project is within the available budget.
Proposal Budget
SS4A Grant $200,000
Local Road Safety Plan $249,705 City Match 50,000
Total $249,705 Total $250,000
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the contract with Fehr & Peers in the amount of $249,705
and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the November 13, 2023 Special Meeting.

result will be a Tukwila LRSP that qualifies as an action plan for the U.S. DOT Safe Streets and
Roads For All (SS4A) program.
Task 1: Project Management
To facilitate close communication with the City team, the Fehr & Peers team (henceforth known as
Consultant) will host a one hour virtual kick off meeting to review scope, schedule, and budget
and discuss key priorities for this project.
Tasks 1.1: Project Kick Off Meeting
The Consultant will convene and facilitate a kick-off meeting with City staff to:
• Review and confirm the goals, scope, schedule and budget for the project.
• Define the roles and responsibilities of consultant team members.
• Define administration and project management expectations (communication protocol,
regular meetings with City project manager, monthly progress reporting, project
completion schedule, invoicing).
• Request key data for base mapping and safety analysis.
The kick-off meeting will also ensure that key team members emerge with a shared
understanding of expectations and study objectives. The Consultant will prepare a draft agenda
for the meeting and a meeting summary with follow-up items from the meeting.
Task 1.2 Project Management and Coordination
The Consultant will work with the City's project manager to schedule and host twice -monthly half
hour check -in coordination calls over the course of this 11-month process to foster frequent
39
communication on emerging project needs and ensure the project scope, schedule, and budget
are effectively managed. For efficiency, these could be combined or held back-to-back with the
Transportation Element Update meetings.
The Consultant will prepare agendas for all meetings and propose maintaining a shared
document (e.g., Sharepoint, OneDrive, Google Docs) for ongoing coordination meeting notes that
can be easily referenced by all parties. Throughout the project, the Consultant will produce and
maintain a project schedule confirming meetings, project deliverables, and review deadlines.
Monthly progress reports will be provided with each invoice outlining tasks accomplished and
deliverables provided in the monthly billing cycle.
This scope also includes 'direct costs' which covers project overhead costs such as printing, data
communications, travel, and other expenses necessary to successfully implement the project.
Task 1.3 Coordination with Transportation Element Update and Assessment of
Policies, Plans and Guidelines
The Consultant will coordinate internal check -ins on the Transportation Element to include
members of the LRSP team to ensure we are in step throughout the process. This close
coordination will result in leveraging materials developed for the Transportation Element, which
will result in less investment of the City's limited resources.
Deliverables:
• One -hour virtual kick off meeting
• Agendas and other materials for the vision statement workshop, which may include
handouts, figures, maps, PowerPoint presentations, notes and meeting summaries, etc.
• Twice -monthly check in coordination calls
• Monthly progress reports
Assumptions:
• City staff will also advise on whether the meeting should be virtual.
Task 2: Safety Data Analysis
The Consultant will obtain the most recent five -years worth of collision data from WSDOT for the
City of Tukwila. The collision data will be reviewed and cleaned (clearly identifying missing data,
correcting inconsistencies in data entry, etc.) before it is loaded into a GIS database. The GIS
database will allow the City to quickly filter crashes based on location, crash type (rearend,
broadside, turning vehicle/ bicycle, etc.), mode of transportation involved, severity (fatality, serious
injury, other), and contributing factor.
40
Task 2.1 Existing Conditions Analysis
Once the data is in GIS format, the Consultant will analyze all fatal and serious crashes and look
for trends to determine risk factors. Specifically, the consultant will investigate the traits of the
parties involved, collision types (e.g., rear -end, broadside), preceding movements, unsafe
behaviors, and other contributing factors like time of day, weather, distraction, or alcohol/ drug
influence. The Consultant will also investigate trends in contextual variables (i.e. risk factors) such
as roadway speeds, ADT, functional class, number of travel lanes, intersection traffic controls, the
presence of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and the types of nearby land uses. The Consultant
will assess how these variables may affect the safety of roadway users, with a particular focus on
pedestrians and cyclists. This will form the basis for the Risk Factor analysis described in Task 2.3.
Task 2.2 Identification of Common Risk Factors
The Consultant will build on the previous task by identifying common safety risk factors. WSDOT
reports that to date, applicants have an average of six risk factors. Fehr & Peers will share its
findings in a one -hour phone call with City staff.
Task 2.3 Analyze Road Network for Common Risk Factors
The Consultant will analyze the City's roadway network to determine where the common risk
factors are present. (Note: WSDOT is flexible about how this analysis is conducted, though many
jurisdictions perform this analysis on a corridor -by -corridor basis.) Fehr & Peers will flag high -risk
locations as those with the greatest number of risk factors. This serves to identify those
locations/corridors with high collision potential.
Task 2.4 Equity Analysis
The Consultant will identify the locations in Tukwila which are identified as disadvantaged using
key economic and social characteristics identified in the Climate and Economic Justice Screening
Tool or USDOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer. The analysis will be at the
Census Block Group level. Fehr & Peers will overlay this data on the map of prioritized projects
(see Task 4).
Optional Task: Data Dashboard
The Consultant can develop an online Safety Dashboard to convey an interactive map of safety
data. Data filters could be provided so that the map(s) can display data by a specific jurisdiction,
year, posted speed of roadway, roadway classification, traffic volumes, number of lanes,
disadvantaged community status, crash severity and other spatial data to be determined in
consultation with Tukwila staff, and based on data readily available. The data used in the creation
of the Safety Dashboard will be the same data set used in Task 2. To help inform the overall
design and content of the Safety Dashboard, the Consultant can provide examples of other
41
dashboards such that the desired elements can be identified and incorporated into the Safety
Dashboard.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Citywide collision database in GIS
• Draft Existing Conditions Slide Deck, inclusive of work products developed in Tasks 2.1
through 2.3, for City Review
• A map of the High -Risk Corridors by mode, a list of the prioritized corridors, and a
geodatabase of the data.
• Final Existing Conditions Slide Deck for inclusion in Draft LRSP
• An equity analysis, narrative and graphics with descriptive population characteristics
demonstrating the equity impact assessment of the proposed projects.
• Data Dashboard, if chosen
Task 2 Assumptions:
• City will provide the Consultant with data needs for the Systemic analysis; Consultant to
provide Data Needs Request
Task 3: Community Engagement
Stakeholder and community engagement are key elements in the development of a LRSP. These
resources recommend involving stakeholders to address engineering solutions in the
development and implementation of the plan. Community outreach is also a valuable component
in developing a plan that is equitable, that supplements data with observations of those who
travel the City each day, and that prioritizes investments in a way that aligns with City goals.
Task 3.1 Community Engagement and Outreach
Engagement Plan
Like the Transportation Element, the Tukwila LRSP will be shaped by an inclusive engagement
effort reflecting the full range of Tukwila residents, businesses, and visitors. Modeled on the
outreach effort underway by the consultant for the Tukwila Transportation Element Update (TE),
the LRSP team will look for opportunities to add safety engagement as part of other
transportation or Comprehensive Plan outreach. The Consultant will identify which materials
should be translated to best serve community conversations.
This scope assumes translating three (3) one -page documents at key points in the plan
development into 3 languages plus English: two fact sheet/flyers that will cover the beginning,
middle, and end products; and one poster. Online materials will be supported by Google Translate
options for engagement in multiple languages. If through the course of this outreach process, the
42
City identifies a need for live interpretation or additional translation of materials, the Consultant
will develop a separate scope and fee to cover this additional effort.
In -Person Engagement
Tukwila is a diverse community with businesses and residents that reflect different ethnicities,
cultures, and primary languages. Coordinating with Comprehensive Plan and TE outreach, the
Consultant will work with the City on appropriate in -person engagement. Specifically the
City/Consultant team will identify who, when, and where to meet to discuss transportation safety
issues and project concepts
Community Engagement Documentation
The Consultant will create a brief memo that summarizes the outreach efforts that were
conducted as part of this project, including a description of outreach events and meetings,
communities of emphasis, and collected feedback. The deliverable for this task will be a draft and
final public engagement summary.
Task 3.2 Task Force Development
The City of Tukwila will form a stakeholder Task Force, which will include a combination of Tukwila
staff, other agencies, key stakeholders, and residents that are interested in addressing and
improving safety in Tukwila. The Consultant will lead up to three meetings of the stakeholder
group to inform and discuss community priorities for transportation safety, confirm key corridors
and safety countermeasures, and develop buy -in of the draft plan materials. The Consultant will
coordinate with the City on what elements to incorporate into the Transportation Element.
Task 3.3 Vision Statement
Having a vision statement to commit to an eventual goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries will
be critical to securing grant funding through the SS4A program. To support the development of
this vision statement, the Consultant will facilitate a two-hour remote workshop to develop this
statement. The Consultant will present examples from other similarly situated communities that
have successfully developed Vision Zero and Target Zero programs.
Deliverables:
• Pop-up materials including electronic copies of poster boards and PDF files of hand-outs
• Foam -core or similar reusable backer boards
• Public engagement strategy plan and Fact sheet, translations and online materials.
• Draft and Final community engagement memo
• Agendas and other materials for the Task Force meetings, which may include handouts,
figures, maps, PowerPoint presentations, notes and meeting summaries, etc.
43
• Up to four meetings will be held, including one workshop to develop a Vision Statement
goal. If additional meetings are requested by City staff the Consultant will put a separate
scope together on a cost and materials basis.
• The Vison Statement workshop will last two hours, other meetings are anticipated to last
one and a half hours long.
• The Consultant team will prepare all materials for the Vision Statement workshop and Task
Force meetings.
• City staff will be responsible for recruiting Task Force members, identifying a meeting space,
and confirming participation.
• Up to three members of the Consultant team will be present at three meetings and one
workshop.
• An equity analysis, narrative and graphics with descriptive population characteristics
demonstrating the equity impact assessment of the proposed projects.
Assumptions:
• It is assumed that City staff will determine the attendees invited to the Vision Statement
workshop and the Task Force meetings.
• The City will determine whether the full Task Force will participate in the Vision Statement
workshop.
• City staff will assist with staffing public outreach events
• City staff will print any flyers or hand-outs and poster boards
• The Final Public Engagement Report will respond to a single round of consolidated edits
from City staff received on the Draft Public Engagement Report
Task 4: Selection of Prioritized Projects
From the subset of high-risk/high-collision corridors, the Consultant, in conjunction with City staff,
will identify priority project locations.
Task 4.1 Identify Priority Project Locations
From the subset of high -risk corridors and processed collision data received from City staff, the
Consultant, in conjunction with City staff, will support up to ten priority project locations
consisting of hot spots, sub -corridors, or small zones. The project priority locations will include a
mix of "quick build" projects that can be deployed quickly to address crashes and larger -scale
projects that are more costly and complex to implement but can address more crashes or crashes
that cannot be addressed through a quick build. This scope includes developing the priority
project location list/map in a two-hour workshop with City staff.
The Consultant will collaborate with City staff to identify a list of priority projects, which will be
based on the results of the collision analysis, collision profile, community engagement, and
systemic evaluation tasks. These locations may include a combination of hot spot locations, key
collision corridors, and locations identified as having greater potential for future collisions
44
through the systemic evaluation. The Consultant will coordinate with the City on what elements to
incorporate into the Transportation Element.
Task 4.2 Identify Countermeasures to Address Prioritized Locations
Based on the results of the safety analyses from Tasks 1-4, the Consultant will work with the City
and the Task Force to identify countermeasures (i.e., systemic and location -specific project
elements) that are relevant to the City of Tukwila. This effort will focus on both proven
countermeasures, including those identified by FHWA and NHTSA, as well as emerging trends and
technologies that are showing early signs of promise.
To be consistent with the Safe System approach countermeasures will focus on "Safer Roads,"
"Safer Speeds," and "Safer Road Users". Countermeasure identification will emphasize low-
cost/high-impact countermeasures addressing top crash types identified in the safety analyses
and can be deployed systemically throughout the city to prevent future fatal and serious injury
crashes. Specific additional countermeasures will be identified for high crash locations as well.
Speed's role in crash severity will be incorporated into recommended countermeasures/project
concepts as will the needs of vulnerable road users, including people biking, driving (personal and
commercial vehicles), walking, taking the bus, and using mobility devices.
The Consultant will prepare a countermeasure matrix that summarizes countermeasures for top
crash types, lists crash modification factors (where available), relevant application, Safe Systems
metric addressed, relative cost. Upon review and confirmation of identified countermeasures by
the City, the Consultant will identify locations for systemic countermeasure deployment and
location -specific countermeasures, project elements, and cost estimates for a maximum of top 10
priority locations. Note that this task will not involve detailed design work, but project concepts
will be identified in sufficient detail to develop planning -level cost estimates. Only one cost
estimate per location is anticipated in the budget. Non -infrastructure countermeasures will also
be identified and folded into implementation strategies developed in Task 4.3. The Consultant will
coordinate with the City on what elements to incorporate into the Transportation Element.
Task 4.3 Implementation Strategies and Tracking
The Consultant will derive implementation strategies from previous tasks, including safety
analyses, goal setting and performance measures, countermeasure identification, and Task Force
and community engagement. Strategies will be based on the Safe Systems approach and may
include new or modified policies, processes, and programs, in addition to infrastructure strategies
identified in previous tasks. The goal for this task will be to identify actionable and realistic
implementation strategies the City of Tukwila can achieve. The Consultant will develop an
implementation matrix that will be broken into two distinct sections: one focused on potential
safety infrastructure projects that position the City for WSDOT safety program funding, as well as
supportive technologies, or studies, that could fall under demonstration activities under SS4A; and
45
the second section focused on policy, process, and programmatic strategies that will move
Tukwila toward meeting SS4A objectives after plan adoption. The implementation matrix will list
strategies in terms of anticipated impact and feature a brief description of the strategy, what Safe
System element it supports, an assessment of fiscal and staff time resources necessary,
timeframes (e.g., short-, medium-, long-term), roles and responsibilities both internal and external
to the City, potential funding sources, and flag any potential for leveraging existing projects or
programs. The Consultant will coordinate with the City on what elements to incorporate into the
Transportation Element.
Task 4.4 Performance Measures and Goals Identification
Clear and agreed -upon goals and performance measures and targets will set the stage for
successful implementation. Leveraging work prepared for similar communities, the Consultant will
lead the task of establishing safety goals and performance measures that align with the goals.
Goals will support a long-term vision goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries, in alignment with
SS4A Action Plan requirements. It is envisioned that goals and performance measures/targets will
be shaped by the Task Force, safety analyses, and the community engagement process. The
Consultant will prepare draft list of safety plan goals and performance measures informed by
feedback received from the safety analyses and community engagement. The Consultant will
finalize goals and performance measures for the LRSP based on feedback from City staff. The
Consultant will coordinate with the City on what elements to incorporate into the Transportation
Element.
Deliverables:
• Identification of up to ten priority project locations in a list and map format
• Countermeasure matrix as an Appendix
• Location -based countermeasure Identification
• Implementation Matrix
• Draft and Final Goals and Performance Measures
Task 5: Report Documentation
The LRSP document is where all the previously completed efforts come together to document
projects and strategies with measurable benefits for safety. We will deliver a high -quality LRSP
that is effective and implementable to meet the City's objectives.
Task 5.1 Draft LRSP I Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
The Consultant will develop a draft plan based on the findings from work conducted under Task 1
through Task 4. The plan will be highly visual and graphical, with process graphics, detailed
reasonable and actionable steps within means accessible to the City.
46
This task includes one round of review from the City to address comments. The Consultant will
coordinate with the City on what elements to incorporate into the Transportation Element.
Deliverables:
• Draft Action Plan
• Final Action Plan, part of which to be incorporated into the Transportation Element after
coordination with the City
Assumptions:
• The Consultant will develop a final Plan to be published by the City.

DATE: November 17, 2023
SUBJECT: Southcenter Boulevard/65th Avenue S Signal
Project No. 90310404
Consultant Selection and Award
ISSUE
Execute an agreement with KPG-Psomas (KPG) to provide signal design and engineering services
in conjunction with the Southcenter Boulevard/65th Avenue S Signal project.
BACKGROUND
In 2016, a signal warrant analysis was completed at two intersections with Southcenter
Boulevard: 65th Avenue S and 62nd Avenue S. While both intersections met the criteria for
signalization, the recommendation was to prioritize the signal the intersection of 65th Avenue S.
A signal at 65th Avenue S is anticipated to also regulate operations at 62nd Avenue S as well as
the speeds along Southcenter Boulevard. In 2021, this project was added to the Traffic Impact
Fee list. This past August, the City submitted a grant application to the Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) for construction of this proposed signal using a construction cost
estimate prepared by KPG. Pedestrian safety improvements at this location were also identified
in 2020 as a high priority for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) and was
included in the Staff Top-10 Recommended NTCP Projects list.
DISCUSSION
KPG was requested under the existing NTCP On -Call contract to prepare a cost estimate for the
construction of this signal so that a current engineer's estimate could be used for the TIB grant
application. Because of their familiarity with this project and the immediate area, KPG was
selected to do the signal design work. Staff negotiated the attached scope and fee for this
design work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The scope and fee of this project is within the available budget.

Scope of Work
November 2023
INTRODUCTION
A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING:
This intersection currently operates at LOS F for the SBLT movement, and has for many years. A signal
warrant analysis was done in 2017, originally for the intersection of Southcenter Blvd and 62nd Avenue
S, but given the close proximity of these intersections, bookmarked on either end by signalized
intersections, signalization is warranted - and recommended - at 65th Avenue S. Doing so will: 1) Provide
a safer crossing for pedestrians utilizing the King County Metro bus zone on the south side of Southcenter
Blvd (the zone provides service for Rapid Ride F-Line and Rt 150). 2) Improve overall intersection
operations. 3) Provide gaps in traffic to aid intersection operations at the 62nd Ave S intersection. 4) Aid
in controlling existing high speeds on Southcenter Blvd. 5) Improve operation for the new Fire Station 52,
located just north of the intersection, by providing signal override through Opticom for the firetrucks and
aid cars. The following Scope of Work outlines the effort required to complete Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates for intersection improvements and signal replacements at 65th Ave S and Southcenter Blvd site,
including the following:
• Right of way impacts are expected only on NW and NE corners of the intersections.
• Curb radii geometry shall be maintained.
• All curb ramps shall be updated to the lates ADA guidelines (no bulb outs), as needed.
• New signal system.
• Illumination system updates and modifications.
B. ASSUMPTIONS:
The following assumptions were made to establish a scope and budget for this project:
• All work will take place within City of Tukwila Right -of -Way or dedicated easements.
• The City will lead all necessary coordination efforts with WSDOT. The Consultant shall support
the City by assisting with preparation of channelization plan and construction permit, if necessary
and required by WSDOT.
• No major impacts to existing storm, sewer and water main systems are expected. Utility
improvements will be limited to stormwater infrastructure adjustments needed as a result of curb
return radii revisions at the NE and NW corners.
• No existing iron within the pavement restoration limits will be replaced (valve box, frame and
grate, ring and cover).
• No major grade revisions will occur within the intersection. Roadway centerline elevations will
be established as needed to match existing grades at back of walk while maintaining a typical 2%

Task 9 — Geotechnical Engineering
Effort under this task includes the anticipated work necessary to perform testing in support of pole
foundation and utility design. Specific Scope of Work elements are outlined in the below Geotechnical
Engineering services.
The purpose of our scope is to support the proposed improvements by providing subsurface information
and recommendations for the new signal pole foundations. Subsurface exploration will include drilling
up to two borings to a depth of approximately 20 feet below ground surface (BGS) near the proposed pole
locations. Deliverables will include draft and final reports presenting our summary and
recommendations. Our specific scope of services is summarized as follows:
• Review available, existing preliminary plans and geotechnical, geological, and environmental reports
for the immediate area.
• Coordinate and manage the field exploration, including obtaining street -use right-of-way (ROW) and
lane closure permits from the City. A street -use ROW application and ROW permit will be required
as well as a proposed traffic control plan for the exploration location.
• Explore the subsurface conditions by drilling up to two borings, one near each proposed pole location.
Based on the existing topography and our experience in the area, subsurface conditions are expected
to be similar across the intersection area.
■ The borings will be drilled to a depth of approximately 20 feet BGS with a small track- or
trailer -mounted drill rig to minimize our footprint within the ROW. The borings will be
drilled using hollow -stem auger techniques. Our representative will collect samples from the
boring and log the subsurface conditions encountered. Samples will be collected via standard

EXHIBIT A
penetration test at approximately 2.5-foot intervals for the initial 10 feet and then at 5-foot
intervals thereafter.
• We anticipate that work hours will be restricted to daylight hours between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
and that traffic control services, including three flaggers and a uniformed police office, will
be required when working within the ROW and to route traffic around equipment.
• A separate site visit will be necessary to mark the boring locations for the utility locate
requests. A second visit will be necessary to verify that there are no utility conflicts at the
proposed boring locations before drilling. We anticipate drilling the borings in one day.
• Prepare a draft memorandum summarizing our findings, conclusions, and recommendations,
including information related to the following:
• Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions
• Signal pole foundation design based on Chapter 17 of the Washington State Department of
Transportation's Geotechnical Design Manual, M 46-03, "Foundation Design for Signals,
Signs, Noise Barriers, Culverts, and Buildings"
• Prepare a final memorandum that incorporates acceptable requested revisions.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Geotechnical recommendations for foundation design.
Assumptions:
• Geotechnical Borings will be conducted within the roadway between the hours of 9am and 3pm.
• Full width pavement patching will not be required. The capital project will restore affected areas
due to geotechnical borings.
• Boring will be performed within City of Tukwila Right of Way.
Task 10 — Right of Way Acquisition (if needed)

Task 11— Public Involvement
Effort under this task includes work necessary to garner stakeholder feedback and to meet with property
and business owners to discuss the project impacts to private property and impacts during construction.
11.1 Prepare for and attend three (3) meetings with business owners and King County Metro. The first
meeting will be held after the 10% Review. Subsequent meetings will be held as needed as design
progresses to discuss proposed improvement and impacts to private improvements.
Deliverables:
• Graphics, roll plots, boards, etc. for meetings.
Assumptions:
• City will send all mailers and public meeting notifications.
• City will arrange meetings with adjacent stakeholders as requested. .
• Up to two (2) KPG Psomas staff will be present during the meetings.
• A formal presentation will not be required for the meetings.
Task 12 — Engineering Support During Bidding
12.1 This task includes providing engineering support during bidding and construction as requested by
the City PM. Effort under this task could include:
• Preparation of addenda and Q&A responses during bidding.
• Assistance in bid tabulation and award
The actual assisting that will be needed during bidding and construction is unknown at this time, and
therefore hours have been added to the Fee Estimate to reach an approximate $2,000 target. Effort
beyond this amount will be scoped under a separate contract, or an amendment to this contract, if deemed
necessary by the City.
Other Services:
The City may require additional services of the Consultant. These services may include assistance during
the advertisement and award period, permit assistance, and/or construction management and inspection
services. At the time these services are required, the Consultant shall provide the City with a detailed
scope of work and an estimate of costs. The Consultant shall not proceed with the work until the City has
authorized the work and issued a notice to proceed.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Hopelink for TDM Outreach Services
ISSUE
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program is asking for approval to amend Contract
22-153, a subcontract with Hopelink to provide TDM outreach services.
BACKGROUND
The City's TDM Program has partnered with Hopelink for the last 5-plus years to provide TDM services
to priority populations including people with disabilities, veterans, immigrants and refugees, people with
lower incomes, youth, and seniors. Since 2020, the TDM Program has had subcontracts with Hopelink
using WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant funding.
DISCUSSION
The amendment would extend the contract through June 30, 2025, and add $65,000 to the budget for
the additional 1.5 years. This is an increase from the original contract budget of $38,000 for 1 year to
account for increasing cost of living and staff salaries.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the general fund. The $65,000 subcontract will be reimbursed by a WSDOT
Regional Mobility Grant (Contract 21-115).
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve amending Contract 22-153 with Hopelink and consider this item
on the Consent Agenda at the December 4, 2023, Regular Meeting.

Parties may terminate this Agreement for convenience for reasons including, but not limited to, the
following:

Executive Order of the President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of
Inational defense; or an Executive Order of the President or Governor of the State with
respect to the preservation of energy resources;
4. The Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the Project by reason of a temporary
preliminary, special, or permanent restraining order or injunction of a court of competent
jurisdiction where the issuance of such order or injunction is primarily caused by the acts or
omissions of persons or agencies other than the Contractor; or

would not be adequately served by the continuation of financial assistance for the Project;
6. In the case of termination for convenience under subsections A. 1-5 above, the City shall
reimburse the Contractor for all costs payable under this Agreement that the Contractor
properly incurred prior to termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its claim for
reimbursement to the City. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to
the City, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner the City
directs.
B. Termination for Default. The City may suspend or terminate this Agreement for default, in whole
or in part, and all or any part of the financial assistance provided herein, at any time by written
notice to the Contractor, if the Contractor materially breaches or fails to perform any of the
requirements of this Agreement, including:

2. Jeopardizes its ability to perform pursuant to this Agreement, United States of America laws,
Washington state laws, or local governmental laws under which the Contractor operates;
3. Fails to make reasonable progress on the Project or other violation of this Agreement that
endangers substantial performance of the Project; or
4. Fails to perform in the manner called for in this Agreement or fails, to comply with, or is in
violation of, any provision of this Agreement. The City shall serve a notice of termination on
the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default hereunder. If it
is later determined by the City that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not
performing, such as events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the
Contractor, such as a strike, fire or flood, the City may: (a) allow the Contractor to continue
work after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, or (b) treat the termination
as a termination for convenience.
C. The City, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the
Contractor ten (10) business days, or such longer period as determined by the City, in which to
cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is
Page 7 of 11
82
DocuSign Envelope ID.° 721EIED710-51FIFIF-4951B-977A-IF2821E992D1B2IF
permitted and other appropriate conditions. If the Contractor fails to remedy to the City's satisfaction
the breach or default within the timeframe and under the conditions set forth in the notice of
termination, the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without any further obligation
to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the City
from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or
default.
D. In the event that the City elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant,
term or condition of this Agreement, such waiver by the City shall not limit the City's remedies for
any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement.
E. If this Agreement is terminated before the specified end date set forth in the caption header, "Term
of Agreement", the City and the Contractor shall execute an amendment to this Agreement
identifying the termination date and the reason for termination.

housing, senior/community centers, and other destinations frequented by our
priority populations. Priority populations include historically marginalized
communities; Black, Indigenous, and people of color; seniors; people with lower
incomes; people with disabilities; immigrants and refugees; English language
learners; youth; and veterans. There will be a focus on partnering with other
agencies that support immigrants and refugees.

Pop-up and the reduced fare portal.
o Engage with youth to encourage transit ridership with the new fare -free policies.
o All events will be done in accordance with local health guidelines regarding in -
person engagement.
o Create individualized transportation/mobility plans during outreach that allow
