S. 131st Street Drainage Improvement Project
Project No. 9161204, Contract No. 22-102
Amendment No. 4 Additional Engineering Services
ISSUE
Approve amendment No. 4 to Contract No. 22-102 with Pace Engineers for additional engineering
services in the amount of $223,170.
BACKGROUND
The S 131st Drainage Improvement Project goal is to address flooding of roadway and adjacent private
properties from Southgate Creek, and to address issues that contribute to flooding, water quality,
barriers to fish migration and habitat degradation. Historically, Tukwila has dredged Southgate Creek
along S 131st Place annually to limit flooding to ROW and private property. This requires an Hydraulic
Project Approval (permit) from the WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Upon authorizing the last 5-
year permit to dredge, WDFW requested the City develop an alternate solution to dredging the creek to
reduce flooding. The original contract's preliminary design and hydraulic modeling indicated the
proposed improvements had a high probability of reducing the need for dredging but does not resolve
flooding and indicated a broader approach to resolve flooding.
Therefore, the project scope has expanded and is now organized into three phases. The original
contract is Phase I, and it includes a re -alignment of the west fork and a fish passable replacement
culvert . Phase II (Amendment No. 3) work products are focused on increasing stream and stormwater
conveyance along S 131st and S 134th Place; this phase of work is in design development. Phase III is
a planning phase and will focus on understanding the impacts of the legacy landslide in the middle
reach, along 43rd Ave, and the affected downstream resources including commercial business district
and City stormwater conveyance. Work products form each Phase are intended to be integrated into a
future construction contract that implements a sustainable solution that addresses flooding, water
quality, fish passage and habitat degradation.
Amendment No. 4 (Phase III) includes additional design and engineering services to produce a site
investigation report for the landslide in the middle reach, which is a source of accelerated sediment
transport to downstream resources. Amend. No 4 tasks are intended to be predecessor tasks for a
future amendment to be funded by a Department of Ecology Community Based Public Private
Partnership (CBP3) grant (applied for 10/24, results expected Q2/'25). This future amendment will
include planning and outreach with the affected private property owners downstream of the landslide.
The site investigation report will establish a baseline understanding of the landslide in preparation for
private property owner engagement. The private property stormwater infrastructure between the
landslide and the flooding on S 134th and 131st PI. are integral to resolving the sediment transport and
stormwater conveyance issues contributing to flooding.

Task 3 — Inspection Review and Recommendation of Repair/Replacement
PACE to contract with a CCTV contractor from small works roster to CCTV multiple pipe
segments and then provide tapes and inspection reports to PACE.
PACE will perform a review of the contractor provided video inspections of the stormwater
system. As part of the review any anomalies in the pipes will be noted and classified per the
Pipeline Assessment Certification Program's (PACP) anomaly code referencing system. PACE
will use these observations and information to develop a report that proposes
repair/replacement for all anomalies observed in the video of the system; these observations
and recommendations will be provided in the Site Investigation Report described later in this
scope.
Assumptions
1. PACE will have a contractor from the City's small works roster as a sub to this
contract to CCTV the pipe(s) and provide visual inspection of catch basin structures
within 43rd Avenue S from S 137th Street to tax parcel 261320-0152. The contractor
8
will provide CCTV video inspection reports in PDF form and videos in digital form to
the City. The CCTV subcontractor will provide inspection reports and videos to PACE.
2. This company will be a PACE subconsultant.
3. As the exact condition of the pipes is unknown, for budgeting purposes the number
of anomalies in the system that are anticipated to be addressed is 12 (approximately
1 anomaly for every 50 feet of pipe inspected). Efforts expended to analyze/provide
recommendations for anomalies in excess of this estimate will require an additional
services agreement (ASA) or will be billed on a time and expenses basis.
4. The recommendations for pipe repair/replacement will be driven by a combination of
the video inspection and surface restoration efforts/requirements.
5. The report will include recommendations for pipe repair/replacement and will not
include any analysis of existing drainage structures such as catch basins, storm
drain manholes, flow splitters, water quality/detention facilities etc.
6. No design drawings will be produced for this task. The report will include a map that
is graphical in nature that shows the location of all anomalies analyzed.

Tukwila, Washington
File No. 0259-061-00
Introduction
The following scope and fee provides additional environmental and geologic/geotechnical services for the
South 131st Place Drainage Improvements Project in Tukwila, Washington. Our understanding of the
requested services is based on a site visit and coordination call with PACE Engineers, Inc. (PACE) and City
of Tukwila representatives on October 21 and October 25, 2024. Based on this coordination, it is our
understanding that Phase 3b of the project will entail assessment of the Middle Fork of Southgate Creek
in the vicinity of South 137th Street, 43rd Avenue South and Macadam Road South, including an adjacent
landslide area that has resulted in closure of 43rd Avenue South.
Scope of Services
The scope of services described below are anticipated to be approved through the amendment of our
existing subcontract with PACE pursuant to PACE's contract with the City of Tukwila for the project. The
tasks below will be completed as new/additional subtasks to the following existing tasks within our existing
agreement.
■ Task 6. Geotechnical Engineering Services
■ Task 9. Environmental Permitting
15
TASK 6.4. PHASE 3B GEOLOGIC/GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
We understand that the new survey area includes a landslide that resulted in the closure of 43rd Avenue
South. During this data gathering phase, we have been requested to complete a reconnaissance level
survey to assess geologic hazards, including landslide hazards, earthquake hazards, volcanic hazard and
associated risks, and to address code requirements for these hazards consistent with Tukwila Municipal
Code (TMC) 18.45.120. Potential geologically hazardous critical areas, such as landslides, will be assessed
and delineated within the survey limits as shown in Exhibit A. Surveyable durable markers, such as nails or
screws, will be placed at key locations in the delineated landslide area. A geotechnical report will be
prepared consistent with the requirements of TMC 18.45.040 for submittal. The report will include
recommended site -specific landslide and erosion hazard zones, volcanic hazard zones and earthquake
hazard zones, as well as options for potential mitigation measures, if necessary.
1. Review and compile available pertinent documentation related to the geology, steep slopes and
landslides, erosion and other potential geologic and seismic hazards at the project site from
Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and other pertinent publicly accessible
sources.
2. Obtain publicly accessible lidar data from the DNR to generate hillshade and topographic maps for the
site and adjacent slopes and interpret and map landslides and potential erosion areas.
3. Complete a planning -level site visit with the City of Tukwila and PACE staff.
4. Complete a geologic reconnaissance of the project area as shown on Exhibit A. We will observe exposed
surface soils. We will also note observed indicators of slope instability such as scarps, leaning trees
and seeps or springs. The site visit will also include assessment of potential slope restoration areas for
developing recommendations to control sediment transported from the slope to stream.
5. Complete the installation of surveyable markers within landslide areas suspected of ongoing movement
for future monitoring.
6. Markers and features such as cracks will be marked with paint or survey flagging for subsequent
professional land survey by PACE and incorporation onto the project base map.
7. Prepare a geotechnical report based on the requirements of TMC 18.45.040 for both landslide hazard
and erosion hazard areas to include a Critical Area Site Plan. Identify potential erosion mitigation
measures for the area affected by the landslide and suggest suitable ongoing monitoring measures.
The report will also include discussion and recommendations related to potential slope stabilization
measures to control sediment transport from landslide to stream.
8. Attendance of an Associate at four of the one hour biweekly design meetings with the City of Tukwila
and/or PACE during the execution of this phase.
9. Provide consultation and technical support to PACE during the duration of this phase related to the
final summary documentation on findings.
10. Project management, accounting and administrative support during execution of scope identified

TASK 9.8. PHASE 3B WETLAND AND STREAM DELINEATIONS
The purpose of this task is to identify, document and delineate regulated aquatic critical areas (wetlands
and streams) within the Phase 3b assessment area survey limits as shown on Exhibit A. This specifically
includes:
• Review available project -specific data and publicly available wetland, stream, wildlife and soil
databases within the new areas to be surveyed.
• Complete a planning -level site visit with the City of Tukwila and PACE staff.
• Complete a site reconnaissance to identify and delineate wetlands and stream ordinary high water
mark (OHWM) within the assessment area that are protected by federal, state or local regulations.
❑ We will delineate and flag the OHWM of streams within the Phase 3b assessment area limited to
the stream section from Macadam Road South upstream to South 137th Street. Reconnaissance
level assessment of stream conditions (no OHWM delineation) will be completed upstream of South
137th Street near the intersection of 44th Avenue South.
❑ If wetlands are identified, we will flag wetland boundaries, collect wetland test plot data and rate
each wetland according to the current 2014 Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western
Washington.
❑ Wetlands and streams will be marked in the field with survey flagging for subsequent professional
land survey by PACE and incorporation onto the project base map.
• Prepare a standalone wetland report for this phase of work presenting the findings associated with the
new survey areas. Wetland and stream ratings and regulatory buffers will be included in the report and
will be based on the City of Tukwila municipal code.
• Attendance by an Associate at one hour biweekly design meetings with the City of Tukwila and/or PACE
for the duration of this phase (eight biweekly meetings).
• Provide consultation and technical support to PACE during the duration of this phase related to the
final summary documentation on findings.
• Project management, accounting and administrative support during execution of scope identified
above.
ASSUMPTIONS
• The phase duration is anticipated to be 16 weeks. Effort associated with project management and
meetings for each task identified above is based on this schedule.
• The extents of geologic/geotechnical assessment include the 43rd Avenue South right-of-way (ROW)
between approximately South 136th Street and South 137th Street.
• The City of Tukwila will provide prior documents and reports, if any, pertaining to the slide and pertinent
to the investigation.
• For geotechnical reporting, a full report may not be feasible if the extents of the project are not
determined.
• Monitoring of the markers installed as part of Task 6.4 will be scoped and performed as part of a future
task.
17
■ The extents of additional wetland/stream delineation areas associated with this phase of work are as
follows:
❑ Wetland and OHWM delineation will be completed from the intersection of South 137th Street and
43rd Avenue South, extending west of 43rd Avenue South approximately 100 feet, south of South
137th Street to the edge of ROW, and north from South 137th Street to Macadam Road South, as
well as north of Macadam Road South to the edge of existing ROW.
❑ Wetland and stream reconnaissance will be completed south of South 137th Street to the edge of
existing ROW and extending approximately 50 feet onto adjacent private parcels, provided right -of -
entry is obtained.
■ Wetland/stream assessment is anticipated to be completed in one field day.
■ The Professional Land Survey of the OHWM, wetland boundaries and/or surveyable landslide markers
will be provided by PACE and is not included.
■ Documentation of wetland/stream findings associated with the new survey area will be incorporated
into a new, standalone Critical Areas Report for the project.
■ This scope and fee estimate does not include any permitting associated with critical areas.
■ All support outside of the above stated scope is to be provided on a time -and -material basis under
