II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A.
EMWS Emergency Storm Pipe Repair 11-19-12 Status Update
Staff provided a status update of the East Marginal Way South (EMWS) Emergency Storm Repair 11/19/12
Project. On November 19, 2012 a large sinkhole was created by a break in a 30-inch storm water line on
th
EMWS just south of South 124 Street. The City contracted with KPG in April to design a replacement for
the failing pipe, and ensuing geotechnical investigations revealed contaminated soils that must be properly
handled during design and construction. Due to this discovery, staff is recommending that construction of
the EMWS repair be postponed until summer 2014 to allow sufficient preparation as well as to avoid cost
overruns. Additionally, this will free up funding for other critical projects in 2013. The EMWS project
