The project consists of constructing bioretention stormwater facilities (rain gardens), conveyance systems, and porous concrete sidewalks along Harrington Avenue NE from NE 16th Street to NE loth Street. The project will also include installation of a 12-inch water main between Glenwood Avenue NE and NE loth Street. The project construction is scheduled to begin in April 2014. (See enclosure for more project information.) In this Walk-and-Talk tour, participants will walk the project limits (along Harrington Avenue NE from NE 16th Street to NE loth Street) while the city's project manager discusses the project and points out the proposed location of bioretention facilities, porous concrete sidewalks, and addresses any comments and/or questions you may have related to this project. We will meet at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, at the intersection of Harrington Avenue NE and NE 16th Street for a brief project overview. We will begin our walk at 6:10 p.m. This easy walk will take us south along Harrington Avenue NE and end at NE loth Street by 7:30 p.m. Don't miss this lively presentation!

There have been several concerns regarding both the design and maintenance of landscaping on these projects. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss these problems from the perspectives of the Community Services Dept., the Department of Community and Economic Development, and the Public Works Dept., and to find consensus on an optimal approach to address these issues. ATTENDEES: Chip Vincent Terry Higashiyama Kelly Beymer Leslie Betlach Terry Flatley Gregg Zimmerman Doug Jacobson Bob Hanson ISSUES/PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS: • Issue: Before the design of a major transportation project, a Community Services (CS) representative is selected to be part of the design team. Sometimes recommendations and review comments made by this representative are not incorporated into the plan and the CS team member is not informed either of the decision or why the recommendation was not incorporated. Similarly, often changes are made to the project during construction, and this information is not provided to the team member. Therefore, CS ends up taking over maintenance of landscaping that can differ from what was approved and shown in the project plans. It also leads to project punch lists being prepared by CS staff, who were not aware of the changes. c:\users\hbernardo\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.outlook\7ipgsu56\landscapemaintenancetip.doc Landscaping Maintenance,TIP Projects Page 2of2 June 12,2013 Proposed Resolution: The Transportation project manager is expected to provide to CS information regarding the landscaping design, changes to the design and changes in the field, and decisions made about CS recommendations. The Transportation project managers take this responsibility seriously and attempt to do this, but will be reminded of the importance of adequate communication with CS regarding project landscaping. • Issue: Usually there is a landscaping establishment period in the contract of a 1 or 2 year duration after completion of construction. This provides that the contractor or his subcontractor is responsible for maintenance and plant replacement for this period. TIP project funding pays for this—it is generally a line item in the project bid package. We generally use State (WSDOT) standard specifications (based upon APWA) for this plant establishment period. There are a couple of problems with this. First, the Standard WSDOT specifications includes lower maintenance standards than CS uses for their projects. Second, the contractor/subcontractor often does not comply with these standards. Meanwhile the inspector is no longer assigned to the project, and the Transportation project manager is typically focused on new project assignments. Many times this combination of factors lead to poorly maintained landscaping, weed proliferation, additional costs to correct, and other problems at the time the landscape maintenance responsibility is turned over to CS. Proposed Resolution: Several potential solutions were discussed, but the one that the meeting attendees all favored is for the WSDOT standard specification for landscaping establishment to be removed from future contracts, and the project funding that would have been allocated to this line item be turned over to CS so that they can manage the landscaping maintenance over the 1 to 2 year period after completion of construction. Transportation and CS staff will meet to work out the details on how best to accomplish this. • Issue: Upon completion of the 1 to 2 year landscaping establishment period, the landscaping maintenance responsibilities are turned over to CS. At that point, it is essential that funding has been allocated in the city budget to fund this work. Proposed Resolution: Terry F. mentioned that this part of the process is working well: he estimates the annual cost of maintenance and sufficient funding is secured for this during the budget process. No changes needed. • Chip mentioned that the urban design and landscaping features are very important on these large projects, but unfortunately they are usually among the first items to be cut when there are budget constraints. • CS requested, and Transportation agreed, that a meeting on landscape maintenance for the Rainier project be set up at the time of project substantial completion. c:\users\hbernardo\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.outlook\7ipgsu56\landscapemaintenancetip.doc a Harrington Avenue NE Green Connection Stormwater Project www.ci.rentonma.us PROJECT OVERVIEW . � Clean Water Safe Sidewalks - Green Streets Project Summary � • - Harrington Avenue Green Connection is a stormwater management project that will demonstrate how bioretention .; N.

The bioretention facilities will collect the stormwater runoff from the street and provide water quality treatment to remove pollutants. ; Bioretention facilities provide a low cost, visually attractive alternative to M1 ` •' - ' conventional stormwater management that can alleviate the problems associated with those systems. Planted swales capture and slow stormwater runoff from the roadway. Sediment and pollutants are filtered by plants and soil. The filtered stormwater runoff soaks back into the native soil or flows into the city's existing stormwater system. , A series of planted bioretention stormwater facilities with underground perforated pipes will be constructed along Harrison Avenue NE to capture stormwater runoff. These installations will provide enhanced basic water =--- quality treatment and will improve street aesthetics. The project was included1��Jpi� as part of the Sunset Area Planned Action EIS and Master Drainage Plan that was adopted by the City Council.

The project also includes the installation of a 12-inch water main between Glenwood Avenue NE and NE 10th Street. The project construction is scheduled to begin in April 2014. See enclosure for additional project information. The project will affect your property by removing the existing fence extending along the City's right-of-way and removing existing trees located in the front of your property that interfere with the new porous concrete sidewalk. Before the project moves further in the design process, we would like to meet with you to discuss the project, how it affects your property, and to work with you to develop an acceptable solution.
