I. PRESENTATIONS - No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Photo Enforcement System
Staff presented a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) to the Committee regarding the possible implementation
of a traffic photo enforcement system for certain arterial intersections in Tukwila. Consideration of such a
system has been addressed with representatives from primary City departments impacted by such a
program: Police, Public Works and the Municipal Court
The Committee discussed the RFP, asked for some clarifications and suggested minor revisions. Staff
reported that the draft RFP is a modification of a similar request previously utilized by the City of Auburn.
The document is written to suit the needs of the City while remaining as broad as possible, allowing staff to
conduct independent evaluation without being vendor specific. Additionally, staff explained that a generally
stated RFP such as this will allow the City to determine the best system available to serve our jurisdiction.
An RFP document that is too restrictive may lead to an exclusion of vendors.
When staff eventually returns to Committee with a recommended proposal and vendor, the Committee
requests the inclusion of additional information in the accompanying staff memo:
. A list of local jurisdictions that utilize a similar type of service/program
. Clarification of the photo enforcement ticket classification (parking violation category rather than
moving violation category)
. Explanation of possible cost/funding options for the photo enforcement system. INFORMATION
ONLY.
B. 2007 Overlay and Repair Program Contract Closeout
Staff is seeking full Council approval for formal acceptance of project completion and authorization to
release appropriate retainage to Lakeridge Paving Company for 2007 roadway repairs and overlays. The
project had no change orders and was completed under budget due to minor underruns. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 17 REGULAR MEETING CONSENT AGENDA.
