SUBJECT: Bid Award—Grady Way Pavement Preservation Project
This memo summarizes the bids recently received for the Grady Way Pavement
Preservation Project and recommends award to the low bidder.
On December 18, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. the City received six bids for the Grady Way
pavement Preservation Project. The City Clerk opened and publically read all six bids.
Six contractors submitted bids. The bid numbers read by the City Clerk off the
contractor's proposals are shown below.
1) Lakeside Industries, Covington 847,338.50
2) ICON Materials, Pacific 924,818.95
3) CEMEX Construction Materials Pacific LLC, Lynnwood $ 942,277.17
4) Lakeridge Paving, Covington 942,715.50
5) Miles Resources, Puyallup 949,844.60
6) Watson Asphalt Paving, Redmond 991,869.00
Engineers Estimate 1,063,225.00
After the Clerk read the proposals, Lakeside Industries became the apparent low bidder
with a bid of$847,338.50.
We have checked all bids for completeness, mathematical correctness and inclusion of
all required forms. An independent review of the bids was performed by CM Design
who prepared the bid documents. No mathematical errors were found and all required
forms were included with all bids.
As a result Lakeside Industries was found to be the lowest responsive and responsible
bidder with a bid of$847,338.50. This bid is approximately 20% lower than the
engineer's estimate.
The project is partial funded with a Federal Highway Administration grant and as
required the Washington State Department of Transportation has reviewed the low

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The George Pocock Rowing Foundation (GPRF) leases and operates the City's Cedar River Boathouse,
LAG-14-001, providing watercraft recreation opportunities with an emphasis on youth rowing programs.
The Boathouse has a deficient dock and inadequate storage racking systems. With the City as co-
applicant, GPRF applied for a King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant for $67,500 to address these
capital needs. The grant has been approved in the King County annual budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council accept the grant.

SUBJECT:King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant for the Cedar River
Boathouse
Issue:
Should the City accept a King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant, with George Pocock
Rowing Foundation (GPRF) co-applicant, for $67,500, to be used for dock replacement
and interior improvements at the Cedar River Boathouse?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the acceptance of the Grant.
Background:
GPRF has been leasing and operating the Cedar River Boathouse since the
summer of 2014.
Prior to the signing of the lease, identified capital needs included the repair or
replacement of the floating dock from which the watercraft are launched and an
improved boat storage system to maximize the capacity in the boathouse.
GPRF had recently received a similar grant at their Lake Union site and
successfully completed dock replacement there.
GPRF and the City co-applied for a 2015 budget cycle King County Youth Sports
Facilities Grant.
On December 2, 2014, we were notified of the award of grant in the full amount,
subject to the passing of the King County budget, which has since occurred.
Based on their recent experience coordinating the Lake Union dock, GPRF will be
coordinating and project-managing the work, including compliance with
shoreline regulations.

SUBJECT: Fourth Addendum to LAG-97-004 between City of Renton and
Verizon Wireless for Ground Space and Equipment at the
1240 NE 12th Street Reservoir
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign the Fourth Addendum
to LAG-97-004 with Verizon Wireless for ground space and equipment installation at the
NE 12th Street Reservoir?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Lease Addendum.
Background:
This Addendum extends the lease period for five more years.
Verizon intends to make their reservoir-based equipment more reliable by
installing an electric generator with associated hardware at the cell site to
continue operations during power outages.
There is sufficient room for the installation.
Verizon has been a tenant since 1997 and has been reliable, responsible, and
communicative.
The rent will be increased by $200 per month, which is consistent with ground
equipment upgrades of this type. That will increase the total rent to $1,652.83
per month with annual CPI-based price increases.
Verizon has submitted a City-required engineering analysis of the proposed
equipment placement. It has been reviewed and approved by engineering staff
in the City Utilities Systems.
Verizon has also achieved approval for the screening and noise abatement for
the equipment.

The equipment will only be in service during emergencies and during
maintenance testing, similar to such installations at City Fire Stations.
Installation of a generator will improve reliability of the Verizon network for
customers, including City-issued cell phones, during systemic electrical outages.
Conclusion:
Approving this Lease Addendum will provide continued cash flow for the City and
improves cellular system reliability for Verizon’s customers in the area.

customer demand.
AT&T has equipment placements on and at the Highlands Water Reservoir at
1240 NE 12th Street. They have been a responsible tenant through the length of
their Lease and Addendums.
AT&T approached the City about placing new antennae and ground equipment
on and at the Rolling Hills Reservoir.
AT&T has submitted a City-required engineering analysis of the proposed
equipment placement on the reservoir. It has been reviewed and approved by
engineering staff in the City Utilities Systems. A similar process was followed for
the appropriate placement of ground equipment.
The monthly lease payment will start at $2,500 per month, with annual CPI
increases.
AT&T will provide a $30,000 bond to provide for removal of equipment in case of
corporate default.

satisfaction, waiver, or compromise of such payment unless specifically agreed to in
writing by Renton.
7. Taxes, Assessments & Utilities:

studies.
B. Lessee, at Lessee’s sole responsibility, shall conduct an interference study. Pre-

that operation of Lessee’s Site Equipment would significantly interfere with the
operation and use of any other authorized communications facilities on the Property,
operated by Renton, other pre-existing authorized communications facilities, or other
pre-existing lessee(s), the Lessee or Renton may terminate the Lease upon thirty (30)
calendar days’ notice to the other party and neither party shall have any further
obligations or responsibilities under the Lease.

electrical, electromagnetic, radio frequency, or other interference with the operation
and use of any other authorized communications facilities on the Property which exist
prior to the Effective Date of this Lease, whether operated by Renton, Lessee, or
another pre-existing lessee with rights prior in time to Lessee, Lessee shall promptly
commence curative measures until the interference has been corrected to the
reasonable satisfaction of the owner of the facilities sustaining interference. If such
interference has not been corrected within sixty (60) calendar days of Lessee’s receipt of
the initial notice from Renton, Lessee or Renton may terminate the Lease upon thirty
(30) calendar days’ notice to the other party and neither party shall have any further
obligations or responsibilities under the Lease.

material, in any manner or in any location which would cause degradation in the
operation or use of communications systems at the Property which serve Renton or
7e. - Community Services Department

Non-Exclusive Access Rights Description
In general:
The access to the AT & T equipment pad will not require access into our reservoir compound
fence but will require access through a gate which blocks the driveway to the equipment
pad. We will provide AT & T with a key which they can place in a lock box somewhere near the
gate. However, if a technician does not have a key, he can still access the equipment pad by
parking at the gate and walking around the gate. In an emergency your equipment pad will be
accessible even without a key. To access the antennas, we need to be notified by AT &T in
order to provide access to the reservoir ladder. We will not provide a key to AT & T to access
the reservoir ladder. Please note that there is no work allowed on the reservoir during non
business hours, unless there is an emergency. In an emergency AT & T will have to call 911 and
ask that the City of Renton Water Utility, on call personnel respond to the emergency in order to
provide access to the reservoir ladder.
