PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. 2009/10 Overlav Renair Proaram Bid Award Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $1,560,638.50 to Lakeside Industries for the construction of the 2009/10 Annual Overlay Repair Program. The 2009/10 Program will provide roadway and overlay repairs to 20 street segments and 4 additive items for a total of 23 street segments, a gas valve adjustment and a private utility casting adjustment. As lowest bidder, Lakeside Industries' base bid came in over $500,000 under the engineer's estimate, which allowed four additive items to be awarded and constructed within budget. The base bid plus the four additives still comes in approximately $400,000 under budget when totaled for the 2009/10 biennium construction budgets. This cost savings will be returned to the City's General Fund Budget: 104 Arterial Streets. Lakeside Industries has successfully worked on past City projects. FORWARD TO MAY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. 2009/10 Overlav Renair Proaram Construction Management Services Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into a consultant agreement with Anchor -QEA, LLC in the amount of $216,085 for assisting with the construction management, inspection and review relative to the 2009/10 Overlay Repair Program. Anchor -QEA has successfully worked on past City projects. The Committee questioned the viability of managing this project in -house if budget constraints forced cost cutting in this area. Staff reported that due to other ongoing projects, the respective workforce is not able to take on additional significant responsibilities without risking attention to project details. Also, the City is unable to provide in -house material testing experts. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program Staff is seeking Council adoption, via resolution, of the 2010 -2015 Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a list of regionally significant transportation projects that have grant funding potential. This list does not commit the City to implement or construct any project. Staff discussed the annual update to the TIP, as required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). This annual rolling program is generally modified to reflect the City's CIP, as the two are updated at different times of the year. Differences between the two plans are often based on and reflective of the time between the adoptions of each document as well as changes in priority and funding availability. Three changes are noted in the current document; one addition and two deletions: Transportation Committee Minutes Mav 18, 2009 Page 2 Addition: Walk Roll Plan (Nonmotorized Transportation Plan) has been added in order to seek and qualify for grant funds (State requires inclusion in plan for grant consideration). Deletion: Tukwila International Boulevard Phase II although ongoing, this project is funded and no longer needs to be in the TII'. Deletion: Tukwila International Boulevard Phase III although ongoing, this project is funded and no longer needs to be in the TIP. Prior to submitting to full Council, an update will be made to the draft TIP summary reflecting increased federal funding for Project Number 5: Southcenter Parkway. The Committee recommends forwarding the update to COW for discussion. A public hearing will be held prior to passing the resolution at the same meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION. D. 35 Avenue South Street Vacation Staff is seeking full Council approval of an ordinance extending the 35 Avenue Street vacation from April 30, 2009, to December 31, 2009. This is the final street vacation of seven which were originally requested (see Finance Safety Committee minutes dated May 14, 2007; Transportation Committee minutes dated April 29, 2008, and November 12, 2008). These street vacations were agreed upon by the City and Sound Transit as part of the Link Light Rail Project; however, Sound Transit is working with the Washington State Department of Transportation to clarify underlying rights regarding a potion of this particular street vacation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
