INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob, Giberson, Public Works Director 40
BY: Ryan Larson, Senior Engineer
DATE: May 4, 2012
SUBJECT: Duwamish Gardens
Project No. 90630102
Resolution for ALEA Grant Application and Other Grant Submittals
ISSUE
Approve a Resolution to the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) for a grant
application as well as submittal of other grant applications for construction funding.
BACKGROUND
The City acquired the Duwamish Gardens site in late 2008 for development of a fish habitat site.
Design of the site began in March 2012 and is expected to be completed in early 2013. Funding
for construction of the project has not yet been secured.
ANALYSIS
Preliminary conceptual plans call for the removal of 55,000 cubic yards of material from the site to
create 1.3 acres of shallow water mudflat and marsh habitat and approximately 0.8 acres of
uplands planted with native vegetation. A limited pedestrian trail, interpretive signs, and overlook
will also be provided. A preliminary construction estimate indicates that the total construction
costs will be approximately $2.8 million, which includes construction engineering, taxes, and
contingency. A detailed project construction estimate will be developed as part of the design
process.
Various grants are available for construction funding including ALEA, Salmon Recovery Funding
Board, and the King Conservation District. Each of these grants require a local match, but grant
funding from one source can typically be used as a match for funds from a different source.
The ALEA grant requires a resolution authorizing application as part of their grant review
process. This resolution is due by May 29, 2012, necessitating a review by the Transportation
Committee instead of the Community and Parks Committee in order to meet this deadline.
RECOMMENDATION
Committee approval is requested to seek grant funding for construction funding. Council is
being asked to approve a Resolution authorizing the submission of the ALEA grant funding
request and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the May 21, 2012 Regular Meeting.
