2013 Overlay and Repair Program
Project No. 91310401
Consultant Selection and Agreement
ISSUE
Execute a contract with KPG, Inca to provide design services for the 2013 Overlay and Repair Program.
BACKGROUND
The City uses the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) consultant roster whenever possible to select
engineering firms to provide necessary services. Six (6) engineering firms were evaluated to provide design services for the
City's 2013 Overlay Program (see attached scoring and selection matrix). Each consulting firm provides services with
expertise in multiple engineering disciplines. All of the firms are well qualified, but KPG provides a unique knowledge and
understanding of the City's program that provides efficiency and benefits which cannot be matched at this time by any other
firm. KPG has prepared preliminary plans for several of the project segments as part of the 2012 Overlay Program and has
also performed very well on previous City projects. The selection of a consultant to provide these services will continue to be
evaluated annually as a consultants staffing and expertise changes overtime.
Starting the design process in the fall and advertising for construction bids in the 11 quarter of each year allows the City to
take advantage of the optimal bidding climate. The list of streets was developed using the City's Pavement Management
Program with input from engineering and maintenance staff.
DISCUSSION
KPG, Inc. has provided a contract, scope of work, and fee estimate to complete design of the 2013 Overlay and Repair
Program and advertise for construction bids.

Improvements Background Information For CIP Page 7 Residential
ISSUE
Provide the historical background information used to prioritize residential street improvements
that are included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for committee discussion.
wlil�l�]
In the early 1990's Public Works engineering staff prepared a system used to rate and prioritize
all unimproved residential streets within Tukwila. The resulting data was then used to prioritize
a list of streets to be funded annually in the CIP under the Residential Improvements program.
The rating system uses a variety of decision criteria that focuses primarily on safety issues such
as: pedestrian volumes, pavement widths, vehicle volumes speeds, accident history, and
other features. The presence of schools, parks, and other high pedestrian generating facilities
is also taken into consideration. Attached are several historical documents that show staff and
Transportation Committee efforts as well as updated construction costs.
The formula developed to provide the rating process will be presented in general terms for
committee discussion. The numerical priority ratings were used to create the initial list of streets,
but further evaluations were used to select the streets recommended for funding within the CIP.

August (for budget) and that TC will want it before then for TIP if
possible. This memo notes some of the key elements discussed.
All unimproved "residential streets" need to be rated; two categories:
"residential local access" and "residential collector arterial" (RLA
and RCA). Probably one of Mark's spreadsheets can be modified, feel
free to call Mark and go visit him for questions on his work if Brian or
I can't give the direction or info you need.
First is to create the spreadsheet inventory and a large map showing
(colored) the unimproved streets. Then, start building the inventory,
identifying lengths of logical (improvement project) segments and
right -of -way widths. Then, a series of decision criteria listed
across the spreadsheet in columns for:
average pavement width /segment
average traveled way width /segment average traffic volume
(ADT) /segment
pavement life expectancy (years)
combine using Shorty and our counters.
Three year accident total /segment
traffic speeds estimated and radar studies
ped volumes I'll give you the rating method
average shoulder width (widest side) /segment
columns to "check" for issues: drainage, banks, rockeries, grade,
dead end, cul de sac, etc.
priority rating using algorithm
ped path cost /foot
c /g /sw cost per foot
underground cost /foot (let's try to have full inventory cost for UG
by May for TC /UC Council UG policy consideration, actually, this
could be first number out of the inventory in February
total costs by column)
Specific spreadsheet cell data will be needed for reviews and our
putting recommendation together; final 1992 priority will be based on
safety rating, ped path costs, and street improvement costs.
I'll get the rating system algorithim for you. Choosing which projects
will be driven by ped safety considerations first, street next (ped
safety problems exceed vehicle problems on residential streets).

Transportation Committee
June 6, 1994
4. ResidentizA Street Priori Two issues were discussed under this item,
though staff had grouped them together. The first was a ped path plan for the
1995 year, and the second was to choose which residential street to design this
year for construction next year. This second item had been put into the budget
as an undesignated residential street.
In 1991 staff had rated all the residential streets by priority based on things
like street pavement width, parking, shoulder width, accidents, vehicle traffic,
pedestrian usage, improvement costs per foot, and special issues. If a street
got a ped path were moved down to the bottom of the list. Citizen calls have
been tallied to drive up the priority of some streets.
The top candidates for ped paths now are Interurban from 58th to 144th; 54th
from Slade Way to S 166th; 44th Ave. S; and perhaps the north part of
Macadam Ave. S.
Staff's top street improvement candidates are 42nd and S. 124th for the new
community center; 32nd and S. 135th near the Cascade School renovation;
and S. 164th in McMicken.
.Alan thought S. 164th needed a ped path, but maybe not the whole street
improvement, since it has low traffic and pedestrian volumes. He also thought
it could be a problem to underground, since some of the residents on the
street are in Sea Tac, not Tukwila. He also wasn't thrilled about staff's plans
to put in curbs, gutters, sidewalks and undergrounding on the north side of S.
124th near the new center, as well as on the west side and on 42nd Ave. S. He
thought maybe overlaying the north side would be adequate. Joe was
interested in a street in Ryan Way, since we haven't done anything there.
Allan asked about the low rating for S. 144th between Pac Highway and
Military.
In the end, the committee asked for separate rating sheets for ped paths and
street improvements, and for options on the S. 124th project and S.164th
project. Reschedule.

Response Requested
Immediate Response
Residential Street ratings were presented to Transportation Committee on
June 6 with the recommendation for the next streets being considered for
improvement to be: 32 Ave S, S 124 St, 42 Ave S, and S 164 St. 32nd,
124th, and 42nd are streets in residential areas with adjacent public
development (schools and community center). Committee requested
dividing the list to show ped path and street improvement candidates and
to consider one side improvements on 124th and 42nd.
Residential streets were discussed as an added item 8 at the July 5
meeting with S 130 St being asked for further study.
The two lists, one showing streets as if no ped path had been added for
a full street improvement selection and the second list for ped paths
were presented. S 130 St, 37 Ave S, 34 Ave S, and 53 Ave S were
requested for further evaluation (updating counts and information) and
to return.
The count and field information was updated and returned to the
September 19 meeting. The recommended full improvement list included
the three affected by the school and city development (32nd and
124th -42nd) as well as five prioritized at the meeting from the list of
the highest 14. The five prioritized at the meeting were:
32 (132 -137)
53 Ave S (137 -144) combined with Macadam (144 -150)
37 Ave S (Pac Hwy -144)
S 140 St (Military -Pac Hwy)
with 34 Ave S (140 -144) for 1995 Ped Path and additional ped path
candidates requested for October consideration.
ACTION TAKEN
Further evaluation has been made and additional ped paths would be:
34 Ave S (140 -130) based on rating and requests
S 122 St (42 -51) based on rating and requests
33 Ave S (140 -144) based on rating and requests.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended to:
1. authorize PS &E for 32nd at Cascade School for 1995 construction,
2. authorize a design report for 53 Ave S (137 -144) and Macadam
(144 -150) for 1996 construction,
3. authorize Ped Path PS &E for 34 Ave S and S 122 St for 1995
construction with the Overlay program.

All Cities Are
Affected, Regardless
of Size or Location
All cities, regardless of size, identify infrastructure as
a key to economic development. Good infrastructure
shows confidence in our cities and signals the business
community to invest in Washington.
Newly incorporated and annexed cities need major
infrastructure investments to meet urban standards.
Larger economic centers need major infrastructure
improvements to accommodate new economic
growth, density, affordable housing, congestion relief,
and freight mobility requiring a level of investment
that local resources alone cannot meet.
Smaller communities lack economies of scale,
and often struggle to provide utility services at an
affordable rate.
In a 2008 AWC State of the Cities research document,
65 percent of city officials indicate that state
and federal mandates contribute to a city's need
for sewer /waste water new construction and
improvements.
Typical Mandates continue to double

There was no quorum so the July 17 meeting summary will be approved by the Board at
their September 28 meeting.
IL Reports, Communications and Citizen Requests to Comment
Mayor Lewis reported that one of the major efforts SCATBd started this summer was to
update SCATBd jurisdiction's priority projects. He said local arterials that formed the
major corridors in the South County area were in bad shape and the region needs to develop
a strategy to address these local arterial needs. Chair Hill said that he was considering
lowering the speed limits on some his city's arterials due to deteriorating conditions. He
said he was running into technical and legal issues regarding the lowering of speed limits
on his city's arterials. Dennis Dowdy said Auburn uses the state's model traffic ordinance
to do safety analysis and make decisions on roadway safety. Mr. Dowdy said the model
ordinance gives jurisdictions the authority to keep the roadway safe for all users including
the lowering of speed limit or the imposition of weight limit. Mayor Lewis said Auburn
will provide information on the model ordinance to Algona and other surrounding cities.
Wayne Snoey reported the SCATBd Agreement Subcommittee meeting will be rescheduled
to a later date. He said that the Agreement Subcommittee proposal to give the Port of
Seattle limited voting rights will need a more thorough discussion with the other subarea
boards because the Port is also a member of ETP and SeaShore.

Mr. Snoey also said that he would like some time at the next meeting to brief the Board on
the Southeast Area Transportation Solutions (SEATS) coalition. He said SEATS is a
transportation and economic development coalition led by the cities of Covington, Maple
Valley, and Black Diamond with participation from the cities of Auburn. Their mission is
to promote and create an efficient transportation network and a growing economy in
Southeast King County.
III. Port of Tacoma Briefing on Port of Tacoma 10 Year Strategic Plan
The Port of Tacoma's Chief Executive Officer John Wolfe and Port of Tacoma
Commissioner and SCATBd member Don Meyer briefed the Board on Tacoma's 10 year
strategic plan. Commissioner Meyer said the purpose of the Port's strategic plan is to set
priorities and focus investments. It was developed with input from community members,
customers, business leaders and employees. The Port developed its strategic plan to
position itself in response to significant competitive shifts in the global shipping industry.
He said he was proud of plan and that it will help elected officials align organization with
the plans adopted priorities.
Mr. Wolfe said that the plan starts by talking about Port's vision for the future, what they
wanted Port to look 10 years out. He said the plan is a road map of how they will get there,
and the plan includes goals and targets, key initiatives. At the staff level the plan identifies
tasks that make up building blocks of initiatives. Each of the initiatives has a budget, and a
schedule and progress on the initiatives are tracked weekly. Mr. Wolfe said that while the
strategic plan includes nearly 50 initiatives, the resulting framework calls for four main
areas of focus that build on the Port's specific strengths and include:
1. Making strategic investments that enhance waterway, terminal, road, rail and
industrial property infrastructure to create the most efficient, productive and cost
effective system possible to move freight to market.
2. Create opportunities for future investments by attracting new business opportunities
with healthy income streams and increasing diversity of the Port's business
portfolio.
3. Demonstrate "best in class" care for business relationships with customers and key
stakeholders.
4. Grow the Port responsibly to ensure the community continues to support trade
related jobs.
Mr. Wolfe highlighted the need to maintain and improve rail, highway and arterial
infrastructure that directly services and support Port operations. He said the Ports of
Tacoma and Seattle face fierce competition from other regions such as the east coast,
southern California, and British Columbia. The east coast ports are gearing -up to handle the
larger vessels that would be accommodated by a wider Panama Canal. He said cargo
vessels are getting larger, and while the Puget Sound region is blessed with deepwater
ports, we need to improve our dockside facilities to handle the increase in cargo carried by
23
Page 3
the larger vessels. Mr. Wolfe said infrastructure investments are needed; we need to widen
our waterways; and improve terminal capacity with more cranes and cargo handling
facilities. Mr. Wolfe said the region's road and rail network also need to be improved.
There needs to be significant investment in rail and arterial system in the Tacoma tide flats,
and the Port will continue to work closely with local cities to address arterial capacity and
needs.
Mr. Wolfe also said there needs to be a single voice in the region's state and federal
agendas. He said there should be a concerted effort to encourage elected representatives to
do the right thing and develop a new transportation package to present to the voters. He
mentioned that completing the connection of SR 167 to the Port of Tacoma was one of the
Port's highest priorities.
Commissioner Meyer said the ports of Tacoma and Seattle need to coordinate their efforts
to increase rail capacity in the region, and to address the harbor maintenance tax issue. Mr.
Wolfe also said the Port of Tacoma supported the Port of Seattle concerns about the
impacts of the proposed NBA arena. He echoed the Port of Seattle's position that any land
use decision on the arena must consider the potential impacts to freight mobility in the
SODO area.
Mayor Lewis commented that the region should look at the transportation needs as system,
we need to support the completion of SR 167, SR 509, and the preservation of arterials that
make up the last mile that moves freight to warehouse areas in valley. He said we should
characterize the transportation needs of the region to highlight a transportation system that
supports the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle. Chair Hill noted that the South Sound Chambers
of Commerce Coalition has a similar portion of defining the transportation needs as a single
system wide need. Mr. Wolfe said the region should demand our fare share of federal
investments because we are the 3 rd largest gateway area. He said he supported idea of
Mayor Lewis of characterizing projects as a system -wide need.
IV. MAP -21 Update
PSRC staff Stephanie Rossi updated the Board on Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21"
Century or MAP -21. She said the new transportation act extended the federal highway and
transit programs thought September, 2014. The highlights of MAP -21 include:
The establishment of 7 goals which include safety, infrastructure condition,
congestion reduction, system reliability, freight movement and economic vitality,
environmental sustainability, and reduction in project delivery delays.
The creation of a performance based planning approach, and requires states to adopt
performance targets for each of the highway improvement programs, and transit
agencies must adopt performance targets for state of good repair and safety in their
program areas.
The consolidation of the National Transportation Programs into five key highway
programs that include 1) a National Highway Performance Program 2) a Surface
24
Page 4
Transportation Program, 3) a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Programs, 4) a
Highway Safety Improvement Program, and 5) Transportation Alternatives
Program.
It combines the Transportation Enhancements, Recreational Trails, and the Safe
Routes to Schools into the Transportation Alternatives Program, and three separate
special needs transit programs into one.
Map -21 also includes provisions to speedup development for smaller scale projects
and to expedite review of projects.
Ms. Rossi said the Governor's office will convene a MAP -21 Steering Committee to
develop a recommended approach to MAP -21 decisions. Membership on the committee
will include representatives of cities, counties, the Governor's office, Metropolitan Planning
Organizations, Regional Transportation Planning Organizations, ports, the state legislature,
the state's Secretary of Transportation and transit agencies. The current MAP -21 allocation
to Washington State is $763 million and it will be focused on preserving the pavements and
bridges on the National Highway System. She said currently local roads comprise about
three percent of the National Highway System, and MAP -21 may significantly increase the
state route and local arterials included in that system.
V. South County Project Update
I- 5 /SR18 /SR161 Triangle Project
WSDOT project manager Aleta Borschowa updated the SCATBd on the I -5 /SR 18 /SR 161
Triangle Project. She said the Triangle project includes replacing two cloverleaf ramps with
flyover ramps, upgraded ramps and improved connections to and from I -5, SR 18 and SR
161. Construction on the first phase of this project began in summer 2010 and will be
complete in early 2013. The first phase of this project includes the building of two -lane
flyover ramp connecting westbound SR 18 to southbound I -5 and a rebuild of the
westbound SR 18 to northbound I -5 ramp to accommodate the new flyover ramp, a new
exit ramp connecting the new flyover ramp to SR 161 at S. 359th Street; and a new
eastbound SR 18 to northbound I -5 flyover ramp and rebuilt the eastbound SR 18 to
southbound I -5 ramp to accommodate the new eastbound to northbound flyover ramp.
Ms. Borschowa said that WSDOT opened both ramps six months early and said WSDOT is
doing some fine tuning on the stripping and signage. The southbound slip -ramp from I -5 to
SR 161 will open in October. She said that some electrical work and bridge painting is
scheduled for the fall. The total cost of this first phase of the project was about $112 million
and is about 90% completed.
Ms. Borschowa said there are still unfunded phase 2 projects which include a northbound I-
5 ramp to east bound SR 18 ramp widening project and a new southbound access ramp for
I -5 to new ramps at SR 161. She did note that there was about $2.5 million in design funds
for a new collector distributor for this I -5 southbound access ramp to SR 161.

Boardmembers said they were hearing compliments from their constituents on the first
phase of this project and complimented Ms. Borschowa on WSDOT's delivery of the first
phase of the project.
Auburn's M Street and A/B Corridor Project Update
Dennis Dowdy briefed the Board on two Auburn projects the M Street grade separation
project and the A Street NW corridor project. Mr. Dowdy said that these two projects had
their beginnings from the 1996 Stampede Pass Study. When BNSF reopened the Stampede
Pass line, there was the intention of eventually improving the Stampede Pass tunnel through
the mountains so it could accommodate double- stacked trains. When that happens, it was
estimated that there would be about 20, 1 mile long trains rolling though Auburn's urban
center a day. The A/B corridor improvements, the 3r Street overpass and the M Street
underpass were indentified as mitigating projects to address the traffic delays that would be
caused by expected increase in trail traffic.
Mr. Dowdy said the AB Corridor will link the transit station with 15 Street NW and will
improve general traffic and freight mobility for about 70 parcels served by the new
corridor. Funding partners for this project included Federal grants, local developer
contributions, as well as local revenues. Mr. Dowdy said this project will also improve
access to Auburn's regional trauma center by reducing delays for emergency response
vehicles.
Mr. Dowdy reported that the 18 month M Street underpass project was on schedule.
Contractors will soon complete their work to underground the utilities in this corridor, and
the sewer and water lines have been relocated. The contractor to start on underpass work,
and this project is expected to be completed in May of 2013. Mr. Dowdy said when
completed, this project will be similar in appearance to the South 180 Street underpass in
Tukwila.

IL Reports, Communications and Citizen Requests to Comment
Mayor Lewis reported that a new Federal surface transportation act, known as MAP -21,
includes a proposal to add additional state and local arterials to the existing National
Highway System (NHS). MAP -21 allocates $764 million to Washington State for
preserving the pavements and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS). Currently,
local roads comprise about three percent of the National Highway System in the Puget
Sound region. Mayor Lewis said MAP -21 may significantly increase the mileage of local
roads included in the system. The MAP -21 steering committee will decide which roads will
be added to the National Highway System and decide on how the funding for local roads on
the National Highway System will be allocated.
Mayor Lewis noted that the southeast King County area was lacking in candidate arterials
for possible inclusion on the NHS. He highlighted the fact that the East and West Valley
Highways was not part of the candidate arterials. He said that local jurisdictions should be
paying careful attention to this NHS process and should work together to get local arterials
on the system. He stressed the need to form project partnerships for corridor connections
projects in order to be successful in upcoming grant competitions. He also said local cities
should be looking at MAP 21 criteria to put together project recommendations since the
31
Page 2
majority of federal dollars will be distributed through the Metropolitan Planning
Organizations.
III. South East Area Transportation Solutions Coalition Briefing (SEATS) Wayne
Snoey, SEATS Chair
Wayne Snoey briefed the Board on the South East Area Transportation Solutions Coalition
(SEATS). He reported that about 4 years ago, the cities of Black Diamond, Covington,
Maple Valley joined together to work on transportation issues of mutual concern, especially
within the SR 516 corridor. He said that coordinated funding support for each others
projects helps with funding efforts. The three cities originally focused on the Diesel
Multiple Unit (DMU) project that would have utilized the Stampede Pass heavy rail line.
The $400,000 DMU study, funded by the state legislature, analyzed the possibility of DMU
commuter service between the three cities and the Sounder station in Auburn. The project
also looked at possible park and ride lots along line. The study justified the need for DMU
service but at a $170 million cost. After the conclusion of the DMU study, Mr. Snoey said
the group decided to continue to meet as a group to look at transportation issues in
southeast King County.
SEATS include elected officials and staff from the three cities, and continue to work to
educate business members of community on transportation needs. SEATS have developed a
brochure to spread SEATS message, and continues to support each member city's efforts
for local project funding.
Steve Clark, Maple Valley Public Works Director, said the City of Maple Valley's priority
is the SR 169 corridor. Existing development within and outside of Maple Valley has
increased freight and commuter traffic within the corridor. The goal is to upgrade the two
lane rural highway to urban corridor standards to accommodate the growth. Mr. Clark said
SEATS helps to articulate the transportation concerns and issues within SR 169 corridor,
the SR 169 improvements will cost $4 -$6 million dollars.
Glen Akramoff, Public Works Director for the City of Covington, said that their high
priority project was the SR 516 corridor, and noted that there was a lot of pass- through in
the SR 516 corridor. Mr. Akramoff said that there are currently two priority projects on SR
515, the first near 168 Place NE to help with retail expansion in the area, and the other
project is near Wax road to address existing congestion. He said these projects are currently
under design, and the City of Covington is looking for grant opportunities for these $14
million projects. Mr. Akramoff said the next phase of projects on SR 516 includes
improvements from 185 Avenue SE to 192 Avenue SE and a bypass around Covington's
retail area. He noted that proposed development in the City of Black Diamond will impact
Covington, and there was a lot of interplay between their projects. Mr. Akramoff said
SEATS efforts to support each other's projects have been positive for all cities.
32
Page 3
Pete Butkus, Interim City Administrator for the City of Black Diamond, said Black
Diamond's Roberts Drive /SR 169 roundabout project as high priority. The project will add
a roundabout at this intersection and will accommodate a future road connection to the east
for the Lawson Hills Master Planned Development. He said this intersection has a higher
accident rate than the average along the corridor. He said this intersection has been
identified as one of the first traffic mitigation projects that are required in the Master
Planned Development FEIS. Mr. Butkus said that this $2.2 to $7 million project may end
up with a two roundabout configuration. He said an interim solution to improving this
interchange may include rechannelizing the intersection with developer funded traffic
signals.
V. SCATBd 2013 Legislative Agenda Local High Priority Project Update, Regional
Priority Projects
Cathy Mooney, City of Kent's SCATBd TAC member, presented a draft map and list of
regional and local priority projects for the Board's review. Ms. Mooney said the Board
asked the SCATBd TAC to update local project priorities in preparation for the
development of SCATBd's 2013 legislative message. She also passed out copies of the
SCATBd's 2012 Legislative Message Brochure, she said SCATBd members expressed a
desire to continue the 2012 message into 2013 and with some minor tweaks would develop
an updated version of the brochure.
Mayor Lewis said Boardmembers should review project descriptions, and the brochure. He
said that a concise and short message was a key marketing strategy that will best serve
South County needs. Commissioner Meyer advised the Board that the project descriptions
should say how the projects support state transportation goals. He said that by identifying
how these local projects support the State's needs, the needs will be better received by state
legislators. Commissioner Meyers said that all projects have a benefit for congestion relief
or freight mobility, and the project descriptions need to express these values. Mayor Lewis
agreed with the messaging suggestions; he said that we've heard about the value in forming
partnerships and corridor projects. The project descriptions should articulate how they
support state transportation goals, why they have value to the state, and how they help the
economy.
VL Sound Transit Briefing on South Subarea Projects
Rachel Smith and Cathal Ridge, Sound Transit, briefed the Board on Sound Transit's South
Sound Projects. Ms. Smith began her briefing by saying revenue forecasts showed a decline
in expected 2008 2023 revenues. Ms. Smith said that Sound Transit is expecting a $700
million hit to its budget, on top of $4.1 billion hit previously estimated due to the bad
economy. The Sound Transit Board will address the budget deficit through $80 million in
reductions in 2013 and said that no projects will be cancelled. She said the Sound Transit
Board will review the budget in the fall and she will report back to SCATBd.
33
Page 4
Ms. Smith said Sound Transit continues to make progress the regional light rail system.
The UW light rail extension is on schedule and is expected to open in 2016, and the
extension to Northgate is expected by 2021. She said planning is underway for the light rail
extension to Overlake, with an expected opening date in 2023. Ms. Smith reported that
Sound Transit has finalized development agreements with the City of SeaTac and the Port
of Seattle for the South 200 Street light rail extension project. Sound Transit recently
awarded a design build contract worth $182 million to PCL Construction. Work on the
South 200 Street extension will start next year with an expected opening date in 2016,
four years ahead of schedule.
Cathal Ridge, Project Manager for Federal Way Transit Center Extension projects briefed
the Board on the status of the Federal Way Transit Extension study now underway. He said
the study will analyze a light rail extension from South 200 Street in the City of SeaTac to
the Federal Way Transit Center. The study will look at the potential for three light rail
stations at Kent -Des Moines Road, South 272 Street and at the Federal Way Transit
Center. The study includes three phases Alternative Analysis, Draft EIS and Conceptual
Engineering for the light rail extension project. Mr. Ridge said that Sound Transit has
enough funds to complete preliminary engineering work for the South 200 Street to Kent
Des Moines Road segment. South Transit does have the capability to expand preliminary
engineering scope or work if more money becomes available.
Mr. Ridge said that extending light rail south from Federal Way to Tacoma was not part of
the overall project. An analysis of a light rail segment between Federal Way and Tacoma is
scheduled to begin in December and that study will also look at alignment options, possible
station locations and what other transit modes that might be available to increase the
efficiency of Sound Transit's existing system.
Ms. Smith reported that Sound Transit is opening Sounder Service down to Lakewood, and
is working with BNSF for four additional Sounder runs in the South King subarea. She also
reported Sound Transit will be advertising a contract for a permanent Tukwila Sounder
station within the month. The proposed opening for the Tukwila Station is for late 2014.
The station will include 400 parking stalls, bike facilities, pedestrian and bus connections,
and covered platforms.
