II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila Urban Center Access Project (Klickitat) HNTB Design Supplemental Agreement No. 5
Staff is seeking full Council approval for Supplemental Agreement No. 5 with HNTB Corporation in the
amount of $63,350 for additional design work and permitting associated with the Tukwila Urban Center
Access Project (Klickitat).
This project is returning to Committee after lying dormant since mid -2007 due to several issues regarding to
right -of -way acquisition, local improvement district formation and Washington State Department of
Transportation requirements. In 2007, the project design was considered to 100% shelf ready; however, now
that the project is ready to move forward again, HTNB's lead consultant and design engineer services are
needed to work through WSDOT and utilities coordination as well as the continued process of right -of -way
acquisition.
$60,000 has been identified for design services for this project in 2009. The additional $3,350 of funding for
the supplemental agreement will be taken from the project's 2010 construction funding. Construction
funding is anticipated to be under budget if the current bidding climate remains favorable.
Staff estimates that 90% of the work outlined in this supplemental agreement will be completed within 6 -8
weeks. Based on the interest of this project among Washington, D.C. constituents, Committee Chair Quinn
requested that staff provide an informational memo, when appropriate, that outlines timelines relative to
project grants, as well as when and if grant funds may be at risk. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JULY 27 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
