II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. 2012 Annual Small Drainage Program: Desiun Supplemental Agreement No. 1
Staff is seeking Council approval for Supplemental Agreement No. 1 Nyith KPG, Inc. in the amount of
$23,992.79 to design additional project sites for the 2012 Annual Small Drainage Program.
Recently, staff determined that three projects originally- designated for design and construction in 2012
cannot be completed due to outside permitting and /or design complications. This relieves $200,000 of
constructions finds, and staff vvould like to utilize these monies to design and construct three other small
drainage projects, as listed beloNy:
South 1(_)7"' Street Drainage Extension
52 "'153x' Avenues South Drainage Extension
South 114"' Drainage Crossings
The previous approved locations that vvill not be designed and /or constructed this rear are:
Pipe repairs near the intersection of South 128 Street and 37 Avenue South

COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Soils Reclamation Facility: Nina County Stormwater Decant Use Agreement
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into a facility agreement with Bing Count- for stormivater
decanting.
As previously reported to the Committee (see Committee minartes elated A1)ril 24, 2012), the Department of
Ecology- (DOE) recently- informed the City that our current practices of decanting extracted sediment from
storm pipes and catch basins is no longer acceptable due to concerns regarding over ground Nyater
contamination.
Since the City does not currently have its oNyn Soils Reclamation Facility, 'ye need to contract vyith King
County to use their DOE approved soils reclamation facility in Renton. The annual cost of using this facility
is estimated to be $79,200 (approximately $440 per load Nyith 180 loads projected per rear). Currently
$30,000 is budgeted for decanting. The budget may not expend that amount since vye are almost half -Nyay
through the rear; however, additional monies will need to be budgeted for fixture years. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 29 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
