II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Green River Pedestrian and Utility Bridge eRe-Bid of Repairs Only) Bid Award
This agenda item was previously heard at Committee on June 25 when staff requested the approval to reject
all bids received for the project. It was determined that the project would be re-bid in two separate packages
- one for bridge repair and the second for bridge painting.
The project was repackaged, and bids for repairs of the wooden deck and bridge truss have been received.
All bids came in below estimate. Staff is seeking full Council approval to award the project to the lowest
bidder, Epic Construction, LLC of Bellevue in the amount of$89,868. Once this work is complete, staffwill
go out to bid for the second portion of work: sealing and painting. Bid repackaging has kept the project
below budget. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 27 COW.
B. Grant Applications for Transportation Improvement Board Funding
Staff provided an update on the status of grant application submission for funding through the
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB). The City currently has just over $14 million in grant funding
through TIB for three projects (Southcenter Parkway Extension, Tukwila International Boulevard - Phase 2,
and Tukwila Urban Center Access). Since we have not yet obligated these funds for the projects and the
funds are considered to be unspent, TIB does not recommend that the City come forward with another grant
application at this time. TIB staff expressed concern that, at this time, another funding request could
decrease the importance of our grant application. After the current funds have been obligated and spent,
Transportation Improvement Board suggests we submit new applications. The informational memo
submitted by staff has been included with minutes per Committee request. INFORMATION ONLY.
