Boeing Access Road Bridge Replacement Staff returned to the Transportation Committee to report out on the status of a grant application that was submitted to Washington State Department of Transportation WSDOT) for replacement of the Boeing Access Bridge (see Transportation Committee minutes dated June 10, 2008). The City was not awarded any grant monies through this funding period, but staff will continue to submit applications for this project when funds become available. During this first funding stage, WSDOT had a total of $31 million available for project funding and our grant request totaled $24.8 million. Staff briefly reviewed project submissions that did receive funding. Hopefully, future funding cycles will support larger projects. INFORMATION ONLY. B. 2008 Overlav and Repair Program Proiect Completion and Acceptance Staff is seeking full Council approval for contract closeout and authorization to release retainage for completed construction of the 2008 Overlay and Repair Program.

C. 2009 -2012 SCATBd Interlocal Agreement and Resolution Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into an interlocal agreement for continued participation in the South County Area Transportation Board (SCATBd). Annual dues are $100 per voting member, and Tukwila currently has one represented voting member per the interlocal agreement. SCATBd can serve as a unified voice to advocate for transportation issues and programs that affect South King County. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D. Tukwila International Boulevard Phase II and III Construction Management Services Agreement In December 2008, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Gary Merlino Construction Company for Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) Phases II and III (see Council minutes dated 12/15/08). Staff is now seeking full Council approval to enter into a contract with Harris Associates in the amount of $1,275,049 for construction management services for TIB Phases 11 and III. The City has not worked with Harris Associates before; however, they scored highest in the City's selection process. Staff has negotiated a lower than usual overhead and profit margin to keep costs within budget for the project. TIB Phase II and III construction is anticipated to run on a 21 -month project schedule. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. Transportation Committee Minutes January 20. 2009 Page 2 E. Tukwila International Boulevard Phase II and III Construction Management Support Supplemental Agreement #7 Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into Supplemental Agreement #7 with KPG, Inc. in the amount of $385,000 to provide construction management support for Tukwila International Boulevard Phases II and II. The services provided by the supplemental agreement will complement the construction management services that will be provided by Harris Associates (above) and the City. KPG was the design consultant for TIB Phase 11 and III from South 116 Street to South 139 Street, and their presence providing engineering support during the construction phase will be an essential element to the management team. Additionally, KPG will be handling the material testing required by WSDOT. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. F. Tukwila International Boulevard Phase 11 and III Construction Management Trailer Purchase Staff is seeking full Council approval to purchase a field office trailer in the amount of $30,000 for on -site construction management of the TIB Phase II and III project. Large construction projects require a field office trailer for on -site construction management. Usually, the trailer is rented as outlined in a construction contract, returned when the project is completed, and rented again with each project that requires a field office. Given the almost two -year construction time frame for TIB Phase II and III as well as other upcoming projects, it is more cost effective for the City to purchase a trailer. Leases are estimated to cost approximately 4% of the purchase price per month. The trailer is anticipated to last 10 -15 years, and will pay for itself within five years. The trailer can also be utilized as an infield command post in an emergency situation. Liability for the trailer will be covered within the City's self insured coverage with WCIA. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. G. Street Vacation at 13911 Tukwila International Boulevard Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution setting a public hearing date of February 23, 2009 for a 128 foot street vacation along 13911 Tukwila International Boulevard. The street vacation is being requested by the only abutting property owner located at 13911 Tukwila International Boulevard. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. M.
