INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
DATE: August 23, 2013 (Revised after June 25, 2013 Transportation Committee)
SUBJECT: Tukwila Urban Center— Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge
Project No. 90510403
Acceptance of State Regional Mobility Grant
ISSUE
City acceptance of a State Regional Mobility grant in the amount of $6,870,000 awarded to the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Pedestrian/
Bicycle Bridge over the Green River Project.
BACKGROUND
In October 2012, Council authorized staff to submit a grant application to the Washington State Department of Transportation Regional
Mobility program for right -of -way acquisition and construction of the TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge. This grant application was
successful and funds have been incorporated directly into the Washington State biennial budget. According to CIP Policy, staff must
obtain approval from the full Council before accepting grants.
Design is underway and the 30% plans have been completed and reviewed by staff. Environmental review and permitting are also
underway and full design and permitting is expected to be completed by March 2014. Right -of -way acquisition can take a year to acquire
and the City could start on this process later this year. Construction is currently anticipated to be over an 18 -24 month period to
coordinate with fish windows and other restrictions associated with working over the Green River.
The Transportation Committee asked staff at the June 25th meeting to return to Committee with a funding proposal since the 2013 CIP
sheet (attached) shows $810,000 of expected park impact fees. The draft 2014 CIP sheet (attached) shows the revised expected park
impact fees of $35,000 for 2013 and $55,000 for 2014 and 2015.
DISCUSSION
The Regional Mobility Grant Program requires a local match of at least 20% of the total cost of the project from direct contributions. City
funds, park impact fees and future grants may be used as match, as well as staff salaries and past expenditures, including previously
awarded grants for the design work. The Regional Mobility Grant is a 4 -year award over two state biennial budgets. The award for the
2013 -2015 biennium is $4.6M and the continuing award into the 2015 -2017 biennium is for $2.2M. This is very similar to the awarded
grant for the Transit Center Project from the same agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
On the attached draft 2014 CIP page 12, $145,000 is shown
as Park Impact Fees, although the Park Impact Fee ordinance
is based on up to $1,600,000 to be utilized for the Pedestrian
Bridge Project. To make up the difference for lower than
expected Park Impact Fees and to lessen the impact to the
General Fund, staff is proposing an interfund loan from the
Water Fund in the amount of the Park Impact fee shortfall of
$665,000. The interfund loan will be repaid by future Park
Impact Fees. Staff will return with more information as the
project progresses and is closer to construction with firmer
cost estimates.

Subject: Regional Mobility Grant Projects for 2013-2015
Welcome!
You're receiving this email because your project(s) has been selected for funding by the Washington State Legislature for
the 2013'2015 biennium. It's been almost a year since the call for new project went out and a lot of energy has been
expended getting to this point, well don&
Now that the project list is complete WSDOT staff will be preparing contracts for each new project. We will also be
preparing contract amendments for the continuing projects. 1 anticipate they will be ready and in your hands by the end
mf]une.
So what happens next? I have a few helpful hints and reminders to pass along:
• Please review your project schedule and make sure it's up to date. If it isn't, then please send me a revised page
bv June 1[^
• Please review your planned expenditures by quarter. If that needs to be updated, then please have that to me
bv June 1nm.
• Any expenditure made on the project before June 30, 2013 can be counted towards your match requirement,
but not eligible for reimbursement.
�
For four year projects make sure your scope of work will get you to the minimum milestones for continued
funding in 2015-2017 biennium. The grant application guide describes the minimum milestones.
• Starting July 1, 2013 any eligible project expense is eligible for reimbursement regardless when the contract is
signed.
• A project Performance Measurement Plan (PMP) is required to be reviewed and approved by WSDOT before a
reimbursement request will be processed and check cut. There are examples of past project PMP's on the
Regional Mobility web page copying is encouraged. Janice Helmann will help you prepare the PMP and will also
be the one reviewing and approving. As you may recall Janice is the person you sent your Year 1 and Year 4 VT
and VMT reduction to in Step 1 of the grant application process. HelmannJ@wsdot.wa.gov 206-464-1284. You
can start on this now and beat the rush.
• The project scope you included in your grant application is what we expect you to build or provide. If the
project scope must change for some reason you must contact me immediately.
• If you're project cost comes in 10% lower than you anticipated you must contact me immediately.
2
• When you do send us a reimbursement reques please make sure its painfully easy for us to track the
expenditures. Some of the reimbursement request are several inches thick and we don't know what numbers
your taking from where. Please use highlighter, sticky notes, a spreadsheet anything to help us follow the rabbit
trail. It will get done faster and you won't get a phone caII from us.
�
The supporting documentation you send should add up to the total expenses on the reimbursement form (we
will send each grantee a custom Reimbursement Request form).
w A project that has more than 20Y6 local match can bill the grant at 100Y6. A project that has 2096 local match
must bill the grant at 80% of the eligible expenses.
• Please use the Regional Mobility Grant funds early, because you don't have to deal with reappropriation
requests and accruals. This will make all our lives easier, but if you can't that's fine too.
w A grantee must bill the grant at Ieast quarterly. Someplace it says a grantee can't bill more than once a month,
but 1 say bill as often as you need to. The caveat 15, please make sure it's for a reasonable amount ($2,000 or
more), because they take time to process and we don't have as many staff as we used to.
The first and mos important thing I do as grant manager is to help you complete your project on time, on budget, and in
scope. The other less glamorous thing deals with accountability and reporting.
Call us any time you have questions. We will do everything we can to help you! 1 plan to schedule a meetings with each
of you over the next few months, because I want us to get to know each other, and you're projects in more detail.

PR ; , I IN A RAIT
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, PROMOTING THE USE OF APPRENTICES IN PUBLIC WORKS
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS OVER $1 MILLION DOLLARS AND DIRECTING
THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTING APPRENTICESHIP
GUIDELINES.
WHEREAS, a highly skilled workforce is essential for enhancing economic
growth and the continued prosperity of workers; and,
WHEREAS, apprenticeship is a proven, highly- effective training model,
providing consistent wage progression to family wage careers; and
WHEREAS, shortages of skilled construction workers limit job growth and
affect our economy.
WHEREAS, the responsibility to train the next generation of skilled workers
rests with both the public and private sectors; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is committed to working in partnership with
labor and business to create a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of our
population and promotes community development; and
WHEREAS, recent actions of the Washington State Apprenticeship and
Training Council (WSATC) have made apprenticeships more widely available in
the construction industry; and
WHEREAS, growing participation in apprenticeship programs today will
ensure a viable workforce in the construction trade industry tomorrow; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it would be in the best interests of
the public health, safety and welfare for the City to implement an apprenticeship
utilization goal in qualifying public works construction contracts;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
8
Section 1. Apprenticeship Utilization Goal. The City of Tukwila shall require
good faith efforts from contractors to use WSATC- registered apprentices as
follows:
Levels of Apprenticeship utilization shall be:
1. 15 percent (15 %) of the total labor hours for all qualified City construction
contracts over $1 million dollars that are awarded on or after January 1, 2014.
The contractor shall provide quarterly reports, as well as a final report, indicating
the total labor hours and the apprenticeship hours utilized by the contractor and
all subcontractors on the project.
2. These requirements may be modified by the City Administration for a specific
project for the following reasons:
a. A lack of availability of qualified apprentices;
b. A disproportionately high ratio of material costs to labor hours, which
does not make feasible the required minimum level of apprentice
participation;
c. Participating contractors have demonstrated a good faith effort to
comply with the requirements of this resolution;
d. Where utilization conflicts with federal, state or county requirements;
e. Other criteria deemed appropriate.
Section 2. Apprenticeship Utilization Guidelines. The City Administration is hereby
directed to develop for council approval apprenticeship utilization guidelines for the
purpose of implementing the apprenticeship utilization goal and policy as established in
Section 1 herein.

II. Reports
Charles Prestrud, WSDOT, reported that WSDOT was reviewing the state highway project
list in Transportation 2040 in response to the funding gap in Transportation 2040's
financial strategy. He said that they will be working on project scenarios to help address the
funding gap and asked for time on SCATBd's August agenda to present their findings, they
will also ask for Board Members input on their project scenarios.
Kelly McGourty, PSRC, briefed the Board on the current status of Transportation 2040
Update. She said that there was a $9 billion funding gap between the transportation
investments and the expected revenues in Transportation 2040. Currently PSRC staff is
developing strategies to close the funding that funding gap. The strategy include using
updated state of good repair information, focusing balancing reductions on system
improvement investments, and moving the lowest quartile projects /3`d decade projects into
11
the un- programmed portion of the Plan. Ms. McGourty said that the PSRC Transportation
Policy Board will review possible scenarios to close the funding gap in September.
III. Transportation for America
Chris Rall, Pacific Northwest Organizer for Transportation for America, briefed the Board
on Transportation for America. He said Transportation for America's goal is to align
national transportation policy with 21St century challenges. The group's 600 plus members
include the National Association of Realtors, Chambers of Commerce, and Institute or
Transportation Engineers. He said that a key issue for Transportation for America is the
decline in funding for transportation state of good repair and improvement projects.
Mr. Rall noted that vehicle miles travelled in the US was declining; and this trend is driven
by demographics. The younger generation is driving less and that 1 in 6 people over 65 do
not drive. He said that traffic projections currently used to develop transportation policy
and project design are out of line with this actual data of declining VMT. Current
projections were based on past trends and not on current demographic characteristics.
Mr. Rall said that sequestration and the looming insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund will
have an impact of the Federal Transportation budget in 2014. By the end of fiscal year
2014, the Federal Government will have either transfer $14 billion from general fund to
Highway Trust Fund, raise gas tax 10 cents a gallon, or cut authority to obligate funds by a
92% cut. He said opportunities for engagement include contacting our Federal legislative
delegation to help shape the next transportation bill or the development of a tax reform
package to address the Highway Trust Fund deficit.
Board Members asked how he would like SCATBd to get involved he said that SCATBd
could sign on with Transportation for America as a group or as individuals.
IV. 2013 Legislative Wrap -Up and Next Steps
Andrew Glass Hastings, King County Government Relations, reported on results on local
effort that was organized to support the passage of a transportation package in the recent
Legislative session. He said that the local coalition that was developed to support a
transportation package was a big step forward for King County. He said he was hopeful if
the region could continue this coalition to support transportation legislation in a possible
special session this fall or next year's legislative session.
Mr. Glass - Hastings said that Metro Transit and King County Roads still faced a large
revenue hole and welcomes the opportunity to develop a fall transportation package. He
said that King County was looking at other revenue tools allow under existing authority.
Metro is beginning to plan for service cuts based on new ridership data, and the cuts would
occur next in September of 2014.
Mayor Lewis also commented on the effectiveness of the SR 167 Corridor Completion
Coalition that was organized to support funding for the SR 167 and 509 corridor
2
12
completion projects. He said while other areas of the country are investing in their ports,
while Washington State lags behind in investing in its transportation infrastructure. The
impact of this lack of investments will result in our region losing shipping business to other
ports in the US and Canada and will have a negative statewide economic impact. He said
that the King County and the cities had already come to a local options agreement, and said
that they were pushing for a special session this fall to address to hopefully pass a
transportation package. Mayor Lewis encouraged Board Members to call their legislators to
push for legislative action on a transportation package.
The Board asked that a letter declaring a transportation funding emergency be drafted
expressing this view.
V. Approve SCATBd Draft Agreement for Jurisdiction Review
Mayor Lewis reviewed the draft SCATBd Agreement that was developed by a committee
of the Chairs and Vice - chairs of SeaShore, ETP, and SCATBd. He said that the next step
after the Board approved the Agreement was to have the SCATBd city councils approve
and sign the agreement. The signed agreement will then go to the King County Council for
review and approval.
Action Item: A Motion was made and seconded to approve the Draft SCATBd
Agreement as amended. The Board approved the Draft SCATBd Agreement for
review by SCATBd jurisdictions.
VI. Metro F Line Report
Jana Demas, King County Metro, briefed the Board on the status of Rapid Ride F Line
between Burien and Renton. Ms. Demas said that the F Line will be an improvement over
existing service provided by Route 140. The F Line will have 10 minute peak service and
15 minute off -peak service. She said the F Line was originally scheduled to start service in
fall of 2013, but it has been delayed to June of 2014. Metro was interested in opening the
full service at one time, and there are ongoing road projects along the route that will impact
service opening date.
She said in the meantime, Route 140 will be extended from Renton transit center to the
Renton Landing, in advance of the opening of the F Line. She reported strong interest on
Boeing part of having service to the Landing area due to their hire of additional employees.
The Route 140 extension will also serve the 46 acre Renton Landing urban village
development. This temporary Route 140 extension was made possible by a Regional
Mobility grant from WSDOT.
