Attn: Mr. Mike Cusick
RE: PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
1-405 SEWER UNDER CROSSING
TuKwILA, WASHINGTON
Dear Mike:
We are pleased to submit this proposal for geotechnical services for the proposed new sewer
under-crossing near the City offices in TukwiIa. We understand the project includes construction
of a new sewer line to replace an existing pipe that flows southward beneath Southcenter Blvd.
and Interstate 405. The purpose of this work is to determine the subsurface conditions along the
proposed pipeline route and pl'Ovide geotechnical recommendations for the design and
construction of the new sewer. This scope of work is based on our conversations with you in a
meeting on July 25, 2007 and our subseqtlent site visit.
The new pipeline would extend from the driveway of the Xerox building at Southcenter Blvd.
south beneath both Southcenter Boulevard and 1-405 to a new manhole to be located in Tukwila
Parkway. The new pipeline would then extend westward about 260 feet to an existing manhole.
Most of the new pipeline would be installed by trellchless methods to avoid traffic disturbance
on 1-405.
SCOPE OF WORK
Our proposed scope of work is based 011 the City's request for four borings to be drilled at
selected locations along the alignment. Based on the anticipated depth of the pipeline and the
likely need for dewatering, we have based our cost estimate on four borings averaging 30 feet
deep. 8PT samples would be taken at 2.5-foot depth intelvals in most of the borings, with
3-inch dianleter thin-walled tube samples taken in lieu of SPT samples at selected locations to .

Tukwila Sewer /1-405 Under Crossing
Based on the results of the explorations, HW A will develop recommendations for design and
construction of the geotechnical aspects of the project. These would include recommendations
for shoring & excavation, dewatering, pipe bedding & backfilling, and trenchless pipe
installation. We understand directional drilling (HDD) is the preferred method due to potential
cost savings; however, the WSDOT requirement for pipe casing and/or site geometry may
preclude the use ofHDD. Our work will include evaluation of the feasibility ofHDD for this
project
The results of our explorations and analyses will be presented in a geotechnical report.
After review of the conditions along the proposed alignment, we recorrunend drilling an
additional boring on the south side of South center Blvd. or, preferably, on 1-405 right-of-way
between the westbound lanes and Southcenter Blvd. This additional boring would reduce the
spacing between borings along the trenchless construction from about 330 feet to between 200
and 240 feet. It would also help delineate where the subsurface conditions change from tlpland
material (glacial drift or bedrock) to soft valley sediments. The additional cost ofthis fifth
boring is presented separately in the following section. Note that prior to drilling, HW A will
attempt to obtain any existing boring logs for the project area from the WSDOT. With your
concurrence, the exploration program would be reduced or modified to avoid duplication of any
existing data.
COSTS
We are prepared to perform the requested scope of work on a time and expense basis. A
breakdown of our estimated costs is presented on the attached spreadsheet. The estimated cost of
the work requested is $29,791. Adding a fifth boring to the project would cost all additional
$3,319, making the total cost of the work $33,110. We agree not to exceed the authorized
amount without authorization.
SCHEDULE
We can begin the above scope ofwol'k within a few days of authorization. The drilling would be
perfonned as soon as a driller becomes available. At this time, local drillers are typically
scheduled about 3 week out. We expect the drilling can be completed in three days. We would
meet with you after completion of the soil borings to discuss the findings and discus alternatives.
A draft of our geotecbnica1report would nonually be ready for your review about 3 weeks after
completion of the field work, although that schedule can be adjusted to meet your needs.

Water Conservation Goals
From:
Date:
Subject:
ISSUE
New requirements under the Municipal Water Law (RCW 70. 119A. 180) call for local
agencies with 1,000 or more connections to adopt conservation goals prior to the upcoming
deadline of January 22, 2008.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Health, Office of Drinking Water, was directed by the Washington State
Legislature to adopt a water use efficiency rule. This was a requirement of the Municipal
Water Supply - Efficiency Requirements Act. Under Title 70 of the RCW, local governments
and municipal water suppliers must adopt conservation goals to meet current conservation
planning requirements. In addition to the adopting conservation goals, newly submitted plans
must outline program implementation including reports that show how water suppliers are to
meet a 10% loss standard.
Tukwila has been applying this loss standard in the City's water fund budget as a performance
goal. The city also participates through the Cascade Water Alliance on a number of programs
involving regional conservation efforts. These programs include the new showerhead program,
washer rebate program, bus and theatre ads.
