II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila Urban Center Signal Interconnect & ITS Proiect Consultant Supplemental Agreement
Jim Morrow reminded the Committee that one of the reasons that Siemens was originally chosen
for this project was because of their expertise in regards to the software used for this program. In
this final phase, Siemens will load the software and conduct necessary programming for signal
operation. The amount for this phase is currently in the budget. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. 2007 Annual Overlay & Repair Program Bid Award
Jim Morrow stated that he is glad that the Council recognizes the importance of the overlay
program. This program is based on a pavement management system, and assists in long-term
savings for the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 14 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
C. Boeing Access Road/East Marginal Way Intersection Paving Bid Award
Staff is seeking a recommendation to award the above mentioned intersection resurfacing to the
lowest bidder, Lakeridge Paving Company. This is the second time out to bid for this project, as
first round bids were rejected due to insufficient project funding.
Additionally, staff is seeking approval from the full Council to transfer funds from the current
South 144th Street Phase I project into this intersection resurfacing project. The extra funds have
resulted from a negotiated credit between the City and Seattle City Light, and staff has
determined that the 144th project will not require all of its budgeted funding.
Finally, staff is requesting the bid award go directly to full Council for approval since the
contractors are under a significant amount of pressure to complete this project within a specified
time frame. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO REGULAR COUNCIL.
