INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Jen Tetatzin, Public Works Director
BY: Josh Hopkins, Surface Water Project Manager
CC: Mayor Thomas McLeod
DATE: August 14, 2025,
SUBJECT:Surface Water Fund - 2025 Annual Small Drainage Program
Project No. 82541201
Construction Bid Award
ISSUE
Council is being asked to award a construction contract in the amount of $352,692.90 to Flowline, LLP
to construct the 2025 Annual Small Drainage Program project.
BACKGROUND
The Small Drainage Program constructs drainage projects throughout the City that are too large for
City staff to complete but are smaller than a typical capital improvement project. The projects originate
from citizen complaints and maintenance staff recommendations and are compiled on the Small
Drainage Project List. Each year the projects are prioritized based on need, expense, permitting
requirements, and length of time on the list. The highest priority projects are then designed and
constructed. The 2025 Annual Small Drainage Program includes three locations as noted in the
attached vicinity map and will improve roadside drainage conveyance and water quality improvements
at the 40th Ave S/42nd Ave S location.
DISCUSSION
The 2025 Annual Small Drainage Program was advertised for bids on July 30 and August 6, 2025. Five
bids were received and opened on August 14, 2025. The bids were checked, tabulated, and no errors
were found. Flowline, LLP, is the apparent low bidder with an overall bid of $352,692.90 including sales
tax and is 15.6% below the engineer's estimate of $418,188.06. This contractor has not worked for the
City before. Psomas, construction management consultant, and City staff analyzed and reviewed their
bid and Psomas spoke directly with Flowline and felt comfortable moving forward.
BUDGET AND BID SUMMARY (All amounts include sales tax)
The project construction budget of $750,000 is sufficient to cover the costs for the contract with
contingency. The project is funded through the Surface Water Enterprise Fund.

Consent Agenda at the August 25, 2025 Special Council Meeting.

DESCRIPTION:
JUSTIFICATION:
STATUS:
MAINTENANCE IMPACT:
COMMENT:
FINANCIAL (in thousands)
Developing alternate horizontal alignment for Southgate Creek in conjunction with replacing a fish barrier
culvert. Scope expanded in 2024 to increase hydraulic analysis limits to address persistent flooding not
addressed with the preliminary hydraulic design.
Southgate Creek overtops its bank several times per year during storm events and runs through private
property.
Debris is deposited within a private driveway and storm system.
HPA permitted dredging is performed annually on the creek to remove excess sedimentation to reduce the
likelihood of flooding.
Project will include 1-year contract maintenance and typically 2-to-4 years of plant establishment. Project
improvements will be turned over to surface water division for routine maintenance.
Project applied for Department of Ecology design development funding and Conservation Futures property
acquisition grant to support the expanded hydraulic analysis. Assumes estimated 2028 construction.

RE: Letter of Recommendation
Dear Joshua,
As requested, Psomas has completed the verification of Flowline, LLP. for the 2025 Drainage Program
project.
We have checked the status of Flowline, LLP on the Washington State Labor and Industries website to
confirm they are currently insured, bonded, and licensed. Additionally, no strikes or debarment records
were discovered federally or statewide.
It is our recommendation that the 2025 Drainage project be awarded to Flowline, LLP.
We have enclosed the contractor verification package for your review.
Respectfully,
Jordan Perry
Construction Services
Psomas
