H. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Interurban Water Reuse Foster Golf Links Reclaimed Water Pipeline Extension Proiect Bid Award
Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $103,385.41 to Precision
Earthworks, Inc. for the Foster Golf Links Reclaimed Water Pipeline Extension Project. Throughout
2007, staff brought forward information regarding this pipeline extension to the Utilities Committee as
well as full Council (see Utilities Committee minutes dated: 06/02/08, 04/07/08, 02/19/08).
The project will involve extension of the current reclaim water pipeline from Interurban Avenue South to
the existing pond at Foster Golf Links for the use of reclaimed for irrigation. The lowest bidder, in this
competitive process, was Precision Earthworks; who have previously worked with the City, but have
since expanded their services.
King County will not reimburse construction costs associated with this extension to the City until the
project is complete. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW.

Earthworks, LLC, for the Tukwila Village Northfield Car Wash Demolition.

NW Earthworks, has not worked with the City before; however, all references have been checked and
cleared.
