INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob, Giberson, Public Works Director 4 4
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. Construction is currently scheduled for 2015.
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.
Staff proposes to apply for $500,000 in ALEA funding and this 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.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution: Grant Applications for Duwamish Gardens
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that authorizes submission of a grant application to the
Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) project within the Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office for construction of the Duwamish Gardens project.
This is a biennial grant, which can be applied for every two years. Staff will request the maximum grant
funding of $500,000 for project construction. Construction is estimated at $2.8 million. A City match is
required; however, other grant sources can be used as matching grants if necessary. The packet includes the
draft 2013 -2018 CIP, page 64. Application to this particular grant requires a resolution requiring grant
submission. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 7 CONSENT AGENDA.
Staff also briefly requested Committee authority to apply for other grants applicable to this project from the
Salmon Recovery Funding Board and King Conservation District. Grant specifics, amounts and due dates
for these are unknown at this time. COMMITTEE APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR APPROPRIATE
GRANTS.
B. Ordinance: Tukwila Transit Center Easements and Rieht- of -Wav Acquisition
Staff is seeking Council approval to acquire property /condemnation authority as required for right -of -way
and easements needed for the Tukwila Transit Center Project and the Andover Park West Widening Project
as follows:
One right -of -way dedication
Seven temporary construction easements
One permanent easement
It is standard for City staff to request condemnation authority at the beginning of a property acquisition
process for public projects. Although it is highly unlikely that any parcel of land within this area will
require condemnation, establishing the ordinance prepares the City for condemnation proceedings, if
required.
Council originally approved Ordinance No. 2364 regarding easement and right -of -way (ROW) acquisition
for the Transit Center project on December 5, 2011. Since that time, the need for additional easements has
been identified. Additionally, staff has determined, due to project proximity and timing, it is more cost
effective and efficient to include the approval to acquire property/condemnation authority for the Andover
Park West Widening Project at the same time. Therefore, there are two ordinances, one for the Tukwila
Transit Center Project and the other for the Andover Park West Widening Project.
