BACKGROUND The WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant Program has a current call for applications, which are due on October 10, 2012 but the process includes early review and approval of a section of the grant which is due September 14, 2012. The early submittal of the complex Vehicle Mile Travel (VMT) reduction and Vehicle Time (VT) reduction calculations require that work on the grant application must begin earlier than normal. Staff is proposing submitting for R.O.W. and construction phases on the TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge project. Tukwila was successfully awarded a Regional Mobility Grant for the Tukwila Transit Center and remains in good standing with the granting agency. Staff submitted a grant application through the WSDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle program for the R.O.W. phase in June, 2012. There were 170 applications received for the approximate $8 million available state -wide and it is not yet known if Tukwila will be successful in this highly competitive program. The Regional Mobility Grant Program is expected to have about $40 million available state -wide. DISCUSSION Design is underway for the TUC Pedestrian Bridge and a new cost estimate based on 30% engineering will be available in October. The CIP currently shows the need for $7,485,000 in construction funding, which is based on information from the Type, Size, and Location Report, finalized in 2011. The new 2013 CIP sheet will be updated once the most recent information is received and the final grant request will be updated to reflect the more current cost estimate prior to submittal. The TUC Pedestrian Bridge requires acquisition of one full property (Nelsen property) and a partial acquisition, including 27 parking stalls, of a second property (Riverview Plaza). Permanent easements from Seattle Public Utilities are also expected. Estimated cost for acquiring this R.O.W. is $1,100,000. The 2012 CIP sheet has only $100,000.00 for R.O.W., which was a placeholder until more information was known on the actual needs. Match is required for these grants, with the minimum of 20 Unlike most grant sources, previous expenditures and staff salaries can be used as match. If the two grant requests are successful, the funds cannot be used as match to each other, but other federal grant funds already awarded for the design can. If successful, funds would be available in June, 2013.

Without concerns this application would usually be approved for submission by the Committee; however, the Committee would like to move this forward to full Council for discussion due to the concerns above.
