Re: Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station Consolidation and Field Avenue Interceptor Design
(Stonegate II)
Dear Dave:
We are pleased to submit our proposal for the Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station Consolidation and Field Avenue Interceptor
Design. The Roth Hill Team consists of experts from Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, HWA
GeoSciences, and Omega Contractors. Our teaming partners were selected based on our history of working together and
their specific expertise related to the proposed sewer lift station and conveyance project.
We are very excited about the opportunity to work on this project. At first glance, the design of the proposed structures and
facilities appears to be relatively straightforward. However, after talking with City staff and touring the site, we have become
very excited about many of the interesting facets of this project. Our team has spent many hours evaluating conveyance route
alternatives to minimize neighborhood impacts, researching sensitive area data to efficiently acquire permits, and developing
facility concepts that incorporate the geotechnical and groundwater issues associated with the design of a buried structure to
minimize the constructability issues. We are very excited to jump in and get started.
The Roth Hill Team is proposing the same approach used with Renton's Heather Downs and Central Plateau Projects,
wherein we begin the design with a pre -design report. This approach utilizes the pre -design phase to analyze the capacity
needs, evaluate route alternatives, identify facility design considerations, develop accurate project cost estimates with funding
alternatives, and recommend a permitting strategy. In our experience, this allows the Roth Hill Team to efficiently design the
improvements to meet the City's schedule and budget constraints without wasting resources and time.
All Roth Hill team members have worked with the City of Renton on utility projects. We will use this local expertise to assist
the City with the site selection, design considerations, and construction sequencing with unique site dynamics and project
complexity. Personally, I am going to lead the team for this project, in similar fashion as other projects with the City, due to
the project implementation complexities. The team managers were selected based on their personal expertise and Renton
experience, such as Erik Waligorski for the conveyance design, Erik Brodahl for the lift station, and Scott Goss for Permitting
and Project Assistance. Tony Fisher will apply the knowledge gained from similar projects to the quality control aspects of this
project.
I am very excited about this unique opportunity and look forward to working with you. If we may be of any assistance during
your review of our submittal, or if you need any additional information, please contact Greg Hill or me at 425-869-9448.
Sincerely,
ROTH HILL ENGINEERING PARTNERS, LLC

Section 1- Introduction
Project Understanding
Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC, is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Renton for the Summerwind/Stonegate Lift
' Station Consolidation and Field Avenue Interceptor Project, hereinafter referred to as Stonegate II. The project includes design
and construction of a new gravity sewer main, force main, and lift station to take the Summerwind Lift Station out of service. The
new lift station will replace the existing Stonegate Lift Station since the addition of the flows from the Summerwind Lift Station
would exceed the Stonegate Lift Station's pumping capacity. The new force main will convey flow from the new lift station to the
City's existing sewer system along Field Avenue NE, diverting flow from the sewer system along Duvall Avenue and alleviating
capacity issues in that portion of the City's sewer system.
The Roth Hill Team
' The Roth Hill Team includes four firms with extensive experience in all aspects of sewer system planning, design, construction,
and operations —Roth Hill Engineering, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, HWA GeoSciences, and Omega Contractors.
Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC, is a civil engineering firm of more than 55 professionals working together to surpass
client expectations. John Roth, Jr., PE, established the company 36 years ago and today joins with Gregory G. Hill, PE, to
lead the firm. Our core competency in Civil Engineering and Land Surveying is based on successful completion of more than
10,000 water, sewer, and stormwater projects, including over 100 lift stations, more than 800 miles of mains, and over 100
' WLID projects. We specialize in utility replacement projects in developed neighborhoods. Roth Hill performs a wide range
of functions for system -wide wastewater utilities, including hydraulic modeling analysis to determine future design flows and
system demands. These models are used to make economical system improvement recommendations. We also have in-house
surveying, permitting, knowledge of local horizontal and vertical control networks, and public outreach services that will be used
for this project. Through our direct interaction with the City of Renton, we have knowledge of the City's technical requirements,
as well as the management, administration, regulatory, and operations and maintenance issues it faces.
Roth Hill's permitting team understands the relevant local, state, and federal permit requirements. Correspondence is initiated
with the respective agency to clarify any requirements. Our permit specialist remains in contact with the reviewing agency
to provide any necessary project clarification to keep the project on schedule. Our staff also has considerable experience
' 'f public meetin s and publishing informational mailings to keep the neighborhood apprised of the project's progress.
We have foun a proactively municating with the public minimizes project opposition and reduces conflicts.
Roth Hill will be responsible for the overall project management and will develop a pre -design report that evaluates potential
routes for the conveyance improvements, identifies lift station operational and maintenance requirements, and describes any
easement or land acquisition needs. We will analyze system hydraulics, develop a plan to maintain operational continuity during
construction, design the conveyance system and the new lift station, provide CAD design support, regulatory support, and
public outreach and communication. We will assist the City as needed with administration of the construction contract, providing
construction observation assistance upon request.
Kennedy/Jenks Consultants provides over 85 years of structural and electrical/controls/telemetry expertise. They emphasize
constructability and functional operational interaction. Kennedy/Jenks Consultants has a long history of working successfully
with the City of Renton on facilities such as the Maplewood Water Treatment Plant and Well 5A. Kennedy/Jenks has worked
' with Roth Hill on pump station and pipeline projects for the Cities of Olympia, Enumclaw, and Gig Harbor.
HWA GeoSciences will be responsible for the project geotechnical investigation, where their local expertise will be highly
beneficial to the City. HWA has completed more than 30 projects within the Renton City limits and 10 as part of the City of
Renton's engineering team, including such projects as the SW 34th Street Culvert Improvements, SW 7th Street Storm Drain,
and Renton Village Storm System Improvement. HWA has a long-standing relationship with Roth Hill and worked with Roth Hill
and the City of Renton on the Sunset Interceptor Phase III project.

Stonegate II
OMEGA Contractors will assist the team with constructability review of the project design. Omega has designed and
constructed several lift stations within the City of Renton. Gordon Wagster's personal experience and extensive knowledge
will assist with delivering a quality product to the City of Renton. He will be involved throughout the design process focusing on
constructability review in order to minimize the potential for any construction conflicts.
' Key Project Issues
Based upon the City's request for Qualifications, our discussions with City personnel, site visits, and our experience on similar
projects, we understand successful completion will involve the following key issues:
• Master Planning. We will analyze how the proposed facilities integrate into the City's overall sewer system to
effectively serve existing and future customers. We will evaluate the future service area to identify the impacts on the
City's existing facilities and establish design criteria for the proposed facilities. Our goal is to develop a design that
provides the best overall service with the fewest impacts. This includes reviewing several routes for the force main to
determine the most cost-effective alternative with the fewest environmental and neighborhood impacts.
' Hydraulic Analysis. The hydraulic analysis will confirm the pumping and conveyance requirements for the proposed
facilities, including pipe, pump and motor sizes. We will use the hydraulic model we developed for the City to evaluate
' impacts from the proposed facilities on the City's existing sewer infrastructure.
• Integrated Design of the Lift Station and Conveyance Piping. This project involves more than just a new lift
station and piping improvements. The design of the proposed facilities requires an integrated design to minimize
neighborhood disturbance, keep the existing facilities in operation, and be sized to meet Renton's future service needs.
Sensitive Area Analysis—Geotechnical and Wetlands Investigation. Two critical issues are evaluation of the soil
conditions for the lift station and conveyance piping and analysis of the wetlands located north of the Stonegate Lift
Station and the stream crossing on NE 26th Street.
�,• Maintaining Service Continuity. A key operating premise for this project is that the existing facilities must remain
in service until the proposed facilities have been constructed and are ready to be placed into service. Roth Hill is an
expert at solving continuity issues.
• r ac Information collected from and distributed to existing customers and neighbors will impact the
overall project success in the minds of the public. We will develop and implement a comprehensive public outreach
' program that keeps the neighborhood informed of the project progress and listens to the public's concerns and issues.
• Permit Acquisition. Several permits will be acquired from the City of Renton and other agencies. Roth Hill has
strong relationships with these agencies and will acquire the permits.
�, • Construction Assistance. Projects of this magnitude can encounter many construction challenges. Roth Hill has
' experienced staff that can assist and support the City during both the bidding and construction phases so that these
challenges are minimized or avoided.
'� • Operational Considerations. Facility operational needs and Cit in ut are critical. We will listen
and incorporate u r� Gifumaintenance staff into the design of this project, as they will operate the station for
many years after construction is complete.
Why Select Roth Hill
Roth Hill has had the honor of developing a comprehensive City-wide sewer model for the City of Renton and has worked on
several design projects for the City over the last four years. The experience we have gained from our business and personal
' relationships with City staff, as well as our experience on similar projects for our other clients, uniquely positions us to meet the
City's needs. Our knowledge will provide efficiency during the design process and fewer conflicts during construction. This will
result in lower costs to the City and fewer demands on City staff. We believe our team is the most qualified to successfully meet
' the objectives of this project based on the following principal reasons:
R o H 1 I I Page 2
R E N T o N Stonegate II
tl1t. \. 111 rift It 9%'1 �:
Reason No. 1 — Our project team has significant expertise in every aspect of sewer planning, analysis, design
' and construction.
Our key project team members are experts in all aspects of sanitary sewer systems, including comprehensive
planning, hydraulic analysis, lift station design, conveyance piping, and facility construction.
' Our approach to facility design is innovative because it evaluates the whole sewer system and does not view projects
as stand alone pieces of design work. This approach saved the City of Kirkland the long-term costs of an entire lift
station when we determined how to convey the sewage within a specific basin by gravity sewers. We applied this
same approach to the Sunset Interceptor, where we found a way to alleviate the capacity issues by diverting flow
away from the interceptor instead of relying solely on increased pipe diameters.
• We know from direct, hands-on experience what works and what does not work, from a design and construction
perspective as well as from an operational perspective. Simply stated, our project team members have demonstrated
the ability to design systems that work, as evidenced by our long-standing relationships with many clients.
Reason No. 2 — Our team has extensive experience with master planning and pre -design evaluations.
Collectively, our project team has completed dozens of sewer utility comprehensive plans and even more feasibility/
pre -design reports. Lara Kammereck has managed over 18 comprehensive plans over the last five years. We know
how to effectively work with client personnel to identify key project issues, identify and evaluate alternative solutions,
and meet customer needs with solutions that can be effectively implemented and constructed.
• We have worked for over three years with the City of Renton to develop the MOUSE Model of the City's sewer system.
We have extensive experience utilizing models to evaluate utility system service alternatives. We bring the unique
feature that our modelers are also design managers and hydraulic engineers.
• We will verify that viable alternatives are identified and properly evaluated, and we will work closely with City personnel
1 to ensure they have a full understanding of the various trade-offs inherent with these alternatives.
Reason No. 3 — We understand the context and complexities of this project.
• From visiting the site and discussing the goals of the project with City staff, we understand this project is more than
designing a gravity sewer, force main, and a lift station. The City is looking for a solution to capacity issues in its
system to minimize up -front and long-term costs, reduce neighborhood impacts and allow the City to meet area growth
' needs. We have the expertise to develop an effective alternatives analysis with the following factors in mind:
-- Permit acquisition to meet the City's schedule
' -- Optimal lift station and conveyance line sizing based on hydraulic analysis and service area evaluation
Construction sequencing that ensures the existing facility stays operational during construction
-- Extensive experience with projects in neighborhoods that need focused public outreach
' - Keeping the City operators' future maintenance and operations needs as key project criteria
Reason No. 4 — Our project team has extensive expertise in the necessary ancillary services.
• Our integrated in-house delivery of survey, design, permitting, construction, and public outreach services enables us to
complete projects like this with a great deal of efficiency.
• Roth Hill's permitting expertise includes the full range of local and state permits, including right-of-way, grading, and
' building permits, an HPA from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and a SEPA process. We have
successfully obtained over 450 permits in the last three years and we offer that track record of success.
• Our knowledge of this immediate area comes from over twenty years of water main projects in the neighborhood and
throughout the May Valley. We have also completed many projects that involve removal of one lift station from service
by upgrading piping and building a new station. We understand the scope of work, how it is staged over time, the
questions the neighbors will ask, and the types of impacts the neighbors can expect during construction.

• Team members from HWA GeoSciences have significant local experience addressing the geotechnical engineering
and environmental issues that are associated with this project.
• Omega Contractors have designed and constructed lift stations within the City of Renton and will assist with the facility
constructability review.
• Our combined experience, much of which was gained on projects completed together, will simplify communication,
reduce permit approval times, and work towards common, unified goals.
Reason No. 5 — Our project management approach focusses on client coordination and communication.
Our team is led by Senior Project Manager Lara Kammereck. Lara has a track record of successfully delivering large,
complex projects through the integration of diverse project elements. Lara believes that a successful consultant teams
with her client and is able to view the project with their goals and issues in mind. She works collaboratively with clients
to design solutions that are technically sound and meet their short- and long-term goals. Communication between the
Roth Hill team and the City will be key to providing a solution that realizes your goals.
Reason No. 6 — We will deliver.
' Roth Hill has developed a reputation for being responsive to client's needs by working closely with their engineering
and operations staff for successful projects.
• The job will be designed and delivered correctly because our experience on similar projects enables us to avoid the
' potential pitfalls associated with complex system expansions. We know which alternatives work best and will work
closely with City personnel to ensure that our team's knowledge and experience directly benefits the City.
Our team is excited about this project and has dedicated senior level staff to the team. Roth Hill's President, Greg Hill, is
' committed to providing the staff needed to deliver this project, including ensuring that Lara Kammereck has the availabil-
ity to manage the project. Kennedy/Jenks is committing the time of its premier lift station designer, Paul Reardon, and

Project Management Phase Manager: Lara Kammereck
The selection of a Project Manager that can deliver is a critical element for the success of any project as broad and
professionally challenging as this. Lara Kammereck has extensive experience delivering to utility clients on similar projects,
and she has a strong desire to lead the Roth Hill Team to a successful conclusion. Properly managing the entire project from
beginning to end is paramount to project success. Throughout the project, Lara Kammereck will be dedicated to meeting the
project objectives and scope of services and will be especially focused on maintaining the project schedule so that facility
construction starts in early 2008.
Our primary initial focus will be to work closely with City staff to develop a detailed project plan, scope, and budget. This plan
will be a schedule -driven `road map' that guides our goal of meeting the City's objectives. We will lead a project kickoff meeting
with the City team to obtain input on key design and other project -related decisions. Additional meetings with the City will be
held as needed throughout the project to make sure the City has ample opportunity to be involved in the design decisions. We
will adapt our communication style to match the City's needs

II. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Phase Manager: Tony Fisher
' At Roth Hill, we believe that performing thorough and comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) checks
during design can significantly reduce conflicts and change orders during construction. Our projects undergo QA/QC checks
by senior engineers with significant experience on the design elements associated with the project. Our construction observers
' and surveyors also review the documents to make sure the design can be constructed. We have found that most lift station
construction issues are related to power and control systems. Therefore, to minimize the potential for those kinds of issues,
we have included Gordon Wagster from Omega Contractors on our team. Gordon is an experienced electrical contractor with
hands-on construction experience on several City of Renton lift station projects. He will apply this experience when reviewing
our design at the 60% and 90% design stages to ensure the City is getting a top notch product that meets its needs.
Pre -Design Phase Phase Manager: Lara Kammereck
We propose the project start with a pre -design report to clarify project requirements and let the team evaluate alternative solutions
before proceeding with final design and construction. Our pre -design approach is to investigate reasonable alternatives and
recommend approaches that minimize impacts, costs, and schedule issues. Resolving problems and getting early City design
direction concurrence allows the final design efforts to concentrate on design details and document production, greatly reducing
the possibility that project costs and schedule will be adversely affected. The pre -design report will include a summary of design
decisions, cost projections and a preliminary set of plans (30%) that depict the sewer conveyance alignments and sizes as well as
a schematic layout of the new lift station. The major elements of the proposed Pre -Design Phase are summarized below:
A. Flow Analysis
The City of Renton's East Plateau has experience substantial growth
in the past few years resulting in two lift stations, Summerwind and
Stonegate, serving adjacent areas —shown in blue in the figure. In order
to accommodate the future growth to approximately 1,500 total customers,
the service area will be expanded to the area outlined in red. The two
existing stations will be replaced with a combined facility to more efficiently
convey the ultimate flows and alleviate capacity issues in downstream
facilities, as identified during the Sewer Model development and analysis.
One of the first pre -design activities is to determine the size of the new
station and the new conveyance piping. Utilizing the Roth Hill's experience
in developing the Sewer Model, we can quickly and efficiently evaluate the
service area to establish the capacity needs. Preliminary reviews indicate
the incoming flows will be approximately 600 gpm, resulting in pumping
capacity of 800 gpm to accommodate peak flows. At this pumping rate, an
8-inch diameter force main and approximately 100,000 gallons of storage
volume would be needed to meet the City's design criteria. Additionally, in order size the Field Avenue Interceptor, our team will
utilize the Sewer Model to evaluate the pipe capacity and eliminate potential impacts to the downstream facilities.
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl
The hydraulic model will also allow us to identify the head requirements at the new lift station so that we can determine the
necessary pump and motor sizes. The total dynamic head for the new station could be around 200 to 225 feet, depending
on the route selected for the force main. We will refine the hydraulic calculations during the design phase once the preferred
force main alignment is selected and the piping configuration is developed. However, these preliminary numbers will allow
us to include an initial station layout in the Pre -Design Report, including the size of such key components as the wet well and
electrical control cabinets.

B. Facility Evaluation
Stonegate II
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl
Another critical Pre -Design task is identifying the lift station, force main, and gravity sewer siting issues. Because the new
lift station will be adjacent to the Stonegate Lift Station, our design efforts during this phase will focus on keeping the existing
station in service during construction. The preliminary layout will allow us to determine the space requirements for the
improvements. Review of the Stonegate lift station easement documents will reveal any restrictions or limitations.
Pre -design efforts will also focus on control strategies and determining general facility layout requirements. We will develop
7 exterior building elevation views so that general appearance and architectural considerations can be evaluated by the team.
The Pre -Design Report will address the following factors:
• Fire, building code, stormwater, and other site development requirements
t Hydraulic modeling and surge analysis
• Instrumentation, control strategies, and telemetry system requirements
• City vendor and equipment preferences for pumps, control valves, flow meters, telemetry equipment, and instruments
' Backup power generation and on -site storage requirements and options
• Operational considerations such as ease of site access and maintenance
We will evaluate construction sequencing options with the goal of identifying the optimum progression of the construction efforts.
' The improvements associated with this project cannot disrupt utility operations in the area. Therefore, planning for construction
sequencing must happen early. Information on constraints must be obtained so that informed decisions may be made as early
in the process as possible. Early planning is critical to developing accurate cost projections and schedules, as well as avoiding
' uneye it issues and neighbor misunderstandings,
We will finish the Pre -Design Phase with 30% design plans. The pre -design effort allows for a more efficient design flow from 30%
' to final design, saving the City time and money by not revisiting design issues in future phases. The City will review the draft report
to confirm or modify the assumptions and criteria compiled within the report. Confirmation of Pre -Design Report conclusion by the
City is critical to efficiently and effectively continuing the project and starting the design phase.
C. Route Alternatives
Task Lead: Erik Waligorski
Alternative force main route analysis is a key element of the pre -design report. Our preliminary investigation revealed three
potential routes that look promising —see figure on adjacent page.
The first route would run the force main west from the new lift station along NE 26th Street to Lyons Avenue NE and NE
24th Court. The force main would then share space on the existing 10-foot easement between the Summerwind Lift
Station and NE 24th Court with the new gravity sewer main. From NE 24th Court, the force main would run south along
Ilwaco Avenue NE to NE 20th Street and then west along NE 20th Street to Field Avenue NE, where it would discharge
into the City's gravity sewer system.
The second route would be similar to the first route except that instead of running the force main through the existing
easement, the pipe would continue south along Lyons Avenue NE to NE 22nd Court, where it would follow an existing
fire access road to Ilwaco Avenue NE.
The third route would run the force main along the shoulder of 148th Avenue SE from the new lift station to SE 104th
Street and then west to NE 20th Street and Field Avenue NE, where it would discharge into the gravity sewer system.
We will look at the pro and cons of each route with respect to ease of permitting, ease of
construction and future maintenance, impacts to the surrounding community and sensitive
areas, and the cost of construction. These factors will be evaluated to determine which
route provides the most cost-effective and least -impact solution. We will also coordinate
with the City to determine if there are any other routes that should be investigated. Our
analysis will determine the best location in the City's existing gravity sewer system to
discharge flow from the new force main to minimize the amount of gravity pipe that needs
�1

.Nt.%b — TFIV cl RV#
Stonegate II
to be upsized or replaced. A comparison of these factors may indicate that the shortest route may not necessarily be the most
cost effective or preferred alternative. Non -engineering issues may prove more important.
We will also review alternative construction methods such as pipe bursting, auger bores (bore and jacking) and horizontal
directional drilling to see how they compare to traditional open trench construction methods. The alternative construction
methods may be a better fit, or even required, to cross the stream along NE 26th Street or to install the new pipes within tight
easements near existing residences. This was the case on a recent Renton/Roth Hill project.
D. Funding Alternatives
Task Lead: Scott Goss
The last Pre -Design task is development of the total project costs and identification of various funding mechanisms. The City
will be investing significant funds in this project, so accurate and dependable cost projections will be critical in determining how
much construction funding will need to be budgeted in 2008. Roth Hill has an excellent track record of providing its clients with
realistic planning -level cost estimates that include the "hidden" costs of permit fees and time delays, as well as sensitive area
mitigation costs. Roth Hill has also been quite successful in securing outside project funding for its client's projects, often from
multiple sources or in creative ways. We have obtained:
CDBG funding for low-income sewer projects SRF and TIB loans and grants
PWTF pre -construction loans State and Federal line item appropriations
PWTF sewer construction loans
We maintain a comprehensive list of funding sources and have relationships with staff at local, state and federal agencies. Our
staff receives annual training on available funding sources. This training, and our relationships with funding agency staff, allows
us to understand the critical information that must be included in the applications and has allowed us to successfully obtain
and administer over $44 million of infrastructure planning and construction loans and grants since 1996. We look forward to
applying this expertise to this project.
IV. Design Phase Phase Manager: Lara Kammereck
Once the Pre -Design Report has been finalized, efforts will begin on the detailed design drawings and specifications. The
60% design will include a draft of the contract documents and an updated opinion of the probable construction cost. These
documents will also be used for the initial Building Permit submittal. Your design review comments will be incorporated into
the 90% plan set for a final City review. Because we maintain ongoing design communication with City staff on specific design
questions and issues as they arise, we anticipate only minimal revisions to prepare the final bid documents.
Once the design is complete and approved by the City, we will aid the City in obtaining bids from contractors by providing
camera-ready bid documents and answering any questions during the bid period. We will also provide a projection of the
probable construction cost that the City can use for comparison purposes during its bid review. The major elements of the
Design Phase are summarized below:
A. Topographic Survey
Task Lead: Mike Lemasa
One of the first design steps is conducting a topographic survey of the lift station site and the preferred route for the conveyance
piping. Accurate topographic information is especially important on this project since some of the improvements will be located
on existing utility or access easements. Our in-house survey department has extensive experience in obtaining the topographic
information we need to design our projects without Fepee o e ie to pic up missing information. Their local survey
control network and experience will improve efficiency. Our in-house surveyors provide a seamless data transfer to our
designers, reducing coordination effort, with no markups on subcontracted survey services. Our designers develop design
fans using AutoCAD Land Development Desktop software and the survey data collected by our surveyors.
CB., Lift Station Design Task Lead: Erik Brodahl
The new lift station will be an integral component of the City's sewer conveyance system long after design and construction are
complete. The E Qth Hill team will meet with City maintenance staff for their input on what they like and islike about other City
lift stations. This interview process will be particularly helpful during power and contro m design since those are the keys
RothHill
Page 11
RENTON
ui1.\U 14 T414 1.1 2%'4
to how the City's staff interacts with the station. Our goal is to provide a facility
that is easy to maintain and simple to operate.
The station will be designed to City standards and will be based around a
submersible configuration with constant -speed Flygt pumps, isolation valves
upstream and downstream of the wet well and force main, and on -site water
service. Convenience and easy access to all equipment, especially the check
valves, pumps, motors, and electrical panels will be a focal point of the design.
Corrosion -resistant materials such as stainless steel and fiberglass will be
used in the wet well to combat corrosion. In addition, adequate lighting will be
provided inside the wet well and the building so that maintenance crews can
work on the station anytime day or night. Finally, two hours of emergency storage at the peak design flows will be provided, in a
onfiguration similar to�heFast Ren n Lift Station.
The new lift station will be constructed adjacent to the existing station, leaving sufficient space to maintain the structural integrity
of the existing station during construction. The existing Stonegate and Summerwind Lift Stations will not be removed from
service until the new station and force main have been placed into service for at least 48 hours. Delaying the removal of the
Summerwind Lift Station from service until the new station is operational avoids potential overflows at the existing Stonegate Lift
Station should a heavy rainfall result in significant flows.
Stonegate II
Architecturally, the building will need to fit in to the neighborhood. Residents with direct views of the facility will want to minimize
the visual impacts of the facility. It is anticipated that the new building will be a CMU structure constructed with a small footprint
with landscape screening and architectural features to make the structure fit with the overall appearance of the neighborhood.
It will house the instrumentation and control systems including the field instruments, and local control devices such as the PLC.
The condition of the electrical service will be examined at the start of the job, and a meeting will be held with the City electrical
inspector to determine if the service needs replacement. Relocation may be necessary to accommodate all of the structures on
the site. Kennedy/Jenks will develop a written control description that documents the intended operation of the facility. We will
also develop an exterior elevation view of the building to evaluate the appearance for architectural considerations, by- both staff.
and the i hborhood—similar to the rendering provided above.
— C. Conveyance System Design
Neighborhood construction impacts are a major project issue because this project will be
constructed in fairly new, higher -end subdivisions. The pre -design effort will select a route'
at minimizes those impacts.
Maintaining sewer service during construction is critical. The new force main may parallel
the existing force main in some areas, depending on which alignment is selected. The new
gravity sewer main which removes the Summerwind Lift Station from service must also be
constructed so it does not damage the adjacent detention pond. We will do this by carefully
locating the gravity sewer main to avoid the pond and controlling construction equipment
access. Horizontal directional drilling may be a viable alternative.
Task Lead: Erik Waligorski
Finally, we will develop accurate, high quality construction plans, specifications, and opinions of probable construction costs
for all proposed improvements. Roth Hill is familiar with the City's specifications, having used them for the Sunset Interceptor,
Central Plateau and Park Place projects.
D. Specialty Services
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl and Scott Goss
Geotechnical. HWA Geosciences will review the available geologic and geotechnical information pertinent to the project,
including geotechnical data obtained previously by HWA Geosciences, Inc. for the City's Sunset Interceptor Phase III
Improvement project. This review will include field reconnaissance along the project alignment, to characterize surface
conditions, provide recommendations for design -phase test borings to assess subsurface soil and ground water conditions, and
provide information for temporary excavations and shoring design.
R othH i' I Page 12
RENTON
efit \U Ut TN1. ct■fit
Stonegate II
The project site is located within the confines of the Honey Creek and May Creek drainage basin areas. Because high and
fluctuating ground water levels may impact pipeline and lift station excavations, HWA may install standpipe piezometers during
the design phase to monitor ground water levels to provide design information. After the explorations are completed, selected
soil samples from the borings will be tested to characterize engineering and index properties and HWA will provide a geotechnical
analysis of the proposed improvements. The geotechnical report will include recommendations for temporary excavations,
shoring, construction dewatering, foundation preparation, structural backfill, and pipeline construction parameters
Wetlands. Sensitive areas usually worry project teams because permitting agencies and individual regulators can sometimes
erect unexpected barriers that delay the project or increase costs. Even though this project lies within mapped sensitive areas,
the City of Renton is a known entity with reasonable restrictions which can be easily incorporated into the design. Thorough
research of available information, coupled with the Roth Hill team's personal project experience in the area, reveals the only
' sensitive areas of concern are a small stream crossing under SE 26th Street along the force main alignment and a wetland
associated with May Creek located north of the Stonegate Lift Station site.
We will contract with a wetland biologist to determine if the wetland infringes on the project site. A summary of the wetland
biologist's field investigation and any special requirements needed to address the sensitive areas will be included in the Pre -
Design Report.
Public Outreach. Due to the location of the proposed improvements within an existing
neighborhood, we propose a public outreach campaign to reduce complaints to the City
and eliminate surprises. Keeping neighbors informed allows for easier, less expensive
construction. Public Outreach programs can also identify issues unknown to the design
team and sometimes even generate a better design. We can provide everything from
direct mailings to neighborhood open houses. The sample fact sheet was developed
for a series of public meetings on a large and complex sewer replacement project in
Snohomish County, west of Paine Field.
Our pre -design efforts will focus on developing a detailed public outreach plan for City
' review and approval prior to Design Phase implementation. One of the important
concepts that will be addressed in the program is the public notification requirements
commonly needed for construction permits. We will develop a program that informs the
' neighbors of impending construction issues such as increased truck traffic, noise, and
potential delays and road closures. Early notification and an honest depiction of the
impacts are keys to open communication with neighbors.

of
Roth Hill has completed dozens of street and piping projects in places like the Cities of Medina and Clyde Hill, where wealthy
neighbors in very expensive homes take particular interest in the effect of the project on their own personal circumstances. Our
proactive approach of explaining the project background and need, as well as setting their expectations in the right place from
the start, have defused many potentially tense situations and eliminated many phone calls to City staff. For projects of this type,
a successful approach has been to arrange an evening open house meeting with project drawings and photos. Representatives
from the City and the design team can then answer questions — as citizens usually just want to know what's happening and why
and whether it will cost them anything or otherwise affect their daily routine.
V. Construction
A. Construction Assistance
Phase Manager: Lara Kammereck
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl and Erik Waligorski
Roth Hill takes pride in producing designs that result in few change orders. We accomplish this feat by incorporating
comprehensive and thorough quality control measures during the design process, including constructability reviews by our
construction observers and senior engineering staff. This attention to detail during the design process results in fewer obstacles
during construction. For example, on Soos Creek Water and Sewer District's Lift Station 10B project, construction change
orders amounted to less than 0.5% of the $8.6 million project budget.

dministration, including contractor submittal review. By working closely with the City's staff
construction, we can effectively minimize the inevitable conflicts and resolve issues
efore they become major disputes.
After the contract is awarded, Roth Hill will help coordinate and attend the pre -construction
meeting. Construction administration services will include coordinating with the contractor
and the City regarding any construction issues, reviewing contractor shop drawings and
submittals, responding to contractor questions and requests for information, addressing any
change order issues, and coordinating with the City and contractor for final project acceptance.
Stonegate II
The level of effort associated with observing construction and administering the construction contract is directly dependent
on the City's support needs, the quality of the contractor that is awarded the contract, and the amount of time the contractor
takes to complete his work. The project is relatively complex and will require some periods of more significant construction
obse^ rvation and administration- There will also be periods where relatively little work will take place in the field, due to the long
lead times associated with some of the main project components.
B. Construction Record Drawings
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl and Erik Waligorski
The records developed and maintained by the construction observer and the contractor will be used after the contract is
accepted as complete by the City to develop construction record drawings. The construction record drawings will reflect the
as -constructed location of the improvements and any changes to the design made during construction. Accurate construction
record drawings will provide the City with useful facility management information.
VI. Permitting
Roth Hill's approach to regulatory issues and construction permitting is to identify the
issues very early in the project and address them in design. We meet with the regulators
and agency staff in a pre -design conference to develop lists of specific issues with the
intent to reach agreements on the design approach. The design team then has the
permit requirements in hand as they design the facilities. This approach has worked
extremely well on hundreds of projects and has allowed us to keep those projects on
� schedule and budget and to minimize surprises and redesign efforts. Additionally, the
engineers appreciate having the "answers to the test" as they put their design together.
We anticipate the project will require right-of-way, grading, and building permits from the
City of Renton and a hydraulic project approval from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
checklist will need to be prepared so that the City can issue an environmental impact determination for the project.
scope of the project, we anticipate a Determination of Non -Significance.
Phase Manager: Scott Goss
In addition, a SEPA
Based on the
Permit Acquisition will be based on the pre -design work completed early in the project. This early definition of key issues will set
the stage for successful development of complete permit submittals and is the key to a successful application. Our experience
allows us to avoid multiple rounds of redlines and re -submittals that can cause serious schedule delays and budget impacts. As
a benefit, Eilean Davis, Roth Hill's permitting and environmental expert, has long-standing relationships with many of the City of
Renton, King County ROW, DDES, WDFW and other agency staff who can be expected to have an interest in the project. We
will leverage this experience and these relationships to streamline the permitting process for this project.
Section 4 — Schedule
Proposed Project Schedule and Level of Effort
