PRESENTATIONS No presentations. n. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center - Supplemental Agreement #4 Phase I Design Staff is seeking full Council approval of Supplemental Agreement #4 in the amount of $153,754 with illI Group for additional design work on the Tukwila Transit Center Project. Supplemental Agreement #4 will support the development of design documents for the Transit Center providing design documentation and preliminary costs as well as environmental and geotechnical information that will allow for future design phases of the project. The illI Group will complete approximately 30% design of the improved and expanded Transit Center in its existing location on the Westfield Southcenter Mall property. The funding for the remaining design is budgeted in 2009. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Andover Park West (Tubvila Pkwy to Strander Blvd) Supplemental Agreement #5 Design Report Update Staff is seeking full Council approval of Supplemental Agreement #5 in the amount of $165,755 with illI Group for an updated design report for Andover Park West street improvements. Due to overlapping design needs and the proximity of the Transit Center to the Andover Park West improvements, this project is closely related to the Transit Center item discussed above. The illI Group will update the design report originally provided for improvements of Andover Park West in November 1991. The update will clarify the final design for the road project and will consolidate duplicate engineering efforts from the Transit Center into a single engineering team providing for project efficiency. Consolidation of this work with parallel work required in the above agenda item will potentially reduce fees by $30,000. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. Tukwila International Boulevard Phase II & III Third Party Utility Coordination Agreements Staff is seeking full Council approval for the Mayor to enter into two third party utility Coordination Agreements with Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC for Phases II and III of the Till Street Improvement Project. These two agreements are for two separate services that Comcast provides; one is for cable TV services and the other is for fiber optic infrastructure. The agreements call for utility relocation including time limits and cost distribution. Costs associated with the relocation are directly reimbursable by Comcast and are not part of the project budget. Transportation Committee Minutes September 23. 2008 - Paae 2 At the August 12, 2008, Transportation Committee meeting, staff discussed some of the project challenges involving utility coordination and relocation. In response to that discussion, staff reported that the City currently has a franchise agreement with Seattle City Light, and therefore, there is no need for a separate coordination agreement regarding utility relocation. Unfortunately, the City does not have a franchise agreement with Qwest, and Qwest is not willing to enter into a project specific coordination agreement with the City. Qwest is required to relocate the facilities as allowed by law. Staffwill continue to provide updates on the situation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D. Minkler Shop Re-Roof - Building B Proiect Completion and Acceptance Staff is seeking full Council acceptance for project completion and release of retainage for Building B Re- Roof of the Minkler Shop. The project ran slightly over the original contract cost due to one change order. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 6 CONSENT AGENDA. ill. ANNOUNCEMENTS No announcements. IV.
