II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Green River Pedestrian and Utility Bridge Repairs and Sealing Bid Rejection
Staff is seeking approval to reject all bids received for the Green River Pedestrian and Utility Bridge Repairs
and Sealing project. Staff is requesting the bid rejection because no bidder was found to meet the criteria for
experience as set forth in the bid packet. The project will be re-bid in two separate packages - one for bridge
repair and the second for bridge painting. This decision to re-bid the project into two packages is based on a
short survey of vendors who are willing and experienced to complete only one task but not the other.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 9 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. SR-518 Route Development Plan Proposed Modifications
Sea-Tac International Airport desires to develop a parcel of land north of SR-518. In order to do this,
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) needs to amend the Route Development Plan
(RDP) for SR-518 and 24th Ave. S./S. 154th/SR-99. The Airport and City of SeaTac would like to offer two
additional alternative scenarios for this interchange in the RDP; however, in order for WSDOT to make
modifications to their RDP, they require concurrence of all effected parties. At this time, effected parties
include: the Cities of SeaTac, Burien and Tuk\vila; Port of Seattle and the WSDOT.
After reviewing the two additional alternative scenarios, and determining that either option is more
advantageous to the City of Tukwila in comparison to the current route, the Committee authorized Jim
Morrow, Public Works Director, to sign his concurrence with modifying the WSDOT RDP to reflect these
alternatives as options.
The Committee authorized Jim's signature based on the following: the concurrence of the additions do not
endorse a specific option or lock the City into any commitment; there are no decisions being made regarding
the interchange or RDP; and both alternatives are advantageous to the City of Tuk\vila. Finally, staff will
return to Committee and full Council once these modifications require action by the City of Tukwila.
