Subject: Interlocal Agreement for the Elliott Bridge Sewer Crossing
Your version of the contract seems to be in acceptable form.
Paying 1% interest per month to a government, which gets 2% per year on its investments, still
seems to be nonsense. King County could borrow money at probably 4% per year. Is this a new
profit center? Having said that, we should be able to make payments within 90 days.
The County can certainly assign us its contract rights as to the sewer work. We are probably a
third party beneficiary anyway, so this may not be a huge issue.
I wouldn't hold up the contract on either of these issues.

MEMORANDUM
To: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator
From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney
Date: October 14, 2002
Subject: Interlocal Agreement for the Elliott Bridge Sewer Crossing
I have reviewed the interlocal agreement involved with the City putting its sewer service on the
Elliott Bridge reconstruction. I note that there are several written comments by the utility on the
copy of the easement that was forwarded to me. Those comments would seem appropriate. I have
additional comments.
In Section IB, I do not understand how the County could request that the City increase the scope
of the sewer facilities to be constructed with the Elliott Bridge project. I understand, that later on
in the agreement, the County would pay for any extra construction, but just wonder what the
County might request. The County is not a sewer provider, and there is no other sewer provider in
the area. Could the County use this clause to try and assist another sewer provider, or just decide
to go into the business itself?
Your department suggests that , the word "deductive alternate" be changed, in Section HA on
Bidding, to use the phrase "separate schedules". That change would appear appropriate and more
flexible for the City.
In Section HID of the agreement, I believe some mention should be made of the County assigning
C
its contract rights, as they relate to the sewer construction, to the City.
In Section IIIE, your department suggests striking the word "water" in each instance as well as
striking the phrase "during construction the locations of bends in the waterlines shall be field -
surveyed prior to backfill". In each instance, the City is not building a water facility, so the
reference is unnecessary.
In Section IVA number 2, I think the City should have some estimate of the County's internal
costs that will be charged to the City.
In Section IVD, I don't believe that 1% per month interest is appropriate as this is much more than
the County can get on investing its money. I am not real strong on this issue because state law

requires a government not paying its bills on time to pay 1% per month. Therefore, the County
could be stuck paying 1 % per month on money the City had not promptly paid to the County. The
County, however, could borrow money at much less than 1% to make up the difference.
In Section VIIC, after the word "shall" in the first line, I would insert the word "contractually".
Similarly, on the next to last line, after the word "shall", T would insert the words "be contractually
required to".
In the signing area, your department correctly notes that the word "manager" should be changed to
"Mayor" and that there should be an attestation section for the City Clerk.
If I can provide you with any further information on this, please let me know. Let me know when
you are ready for the authorizing resolution.

and specifications for the Project. The County shall notify the City of any changes,
which must be made to these documents to bring them into conformance with
County requirements. The City shall provide all required changes to the documents

Specifications for the Utility Work into the Contract Bid Documents as a deductive
alternate in such manner as to allow, to the extent possible, identification of cost

contractor. The City shall notify its contractor of such requirement, and shall provide
written notice to the County and the County's contractor ten days prior to beginning
utility work on site. If the contractor selected by the City unreasonably delays or
impacts the County's contractor, the City agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold King

deductive afterryateseparate schedule in such manner as to allow, to the extent possible, identification of
cost allocations between the parties.
B. The County shall furnish the Utility with the bid prices for the Utility Work for the Utility's approval. Within
two weeks of receiving the bid prices, the Utility shall notify the County in writing that the Utility either
approves or rejects their portion of the contract. The County shall not proceed with the Utility Work until
the County has received approval from the Utility. If bids are received which, in the estimation of the
Utility, are not acceptable for the Utility's portion, the work shall be deleted from the contract. Bid awards
shall be made to the lowest responsible bidder for the total project, subject to applicable laws and
regulations.
C. If the Utility rejects the County's lowest responsible bid, the Utility may select its own contractor to do the
Utility Work deemed necessary. In this case, the Utility shall require its contractor to coordinate all utility
work located at the project site with the County's contractor, without unreasonably interfering with or
delaying the County's contractor. The Utility shall notify its contractor of such requirement, and shall
provide written notice to the County and the County's contractor ten days prior to beginning utility work
on site. If the contractor selected by the Utility unreasonably delays or impacts the County's contractor,
the Utility agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold King County harmless from and against any such
unreasonable delay or impact if a claim is presented by the County's contractor, provided the County
shall give the Utility prompt notice of any potential claim as soon as the County has received knowledge
thereof.

necessary for the execution of the work. In providing such services, the County Engineer may exercise
all the powers and perform all the duties vested by law in him.

Drawings, etc. on all the Utility's work. The Utility inspector shall have limited authority to communicate
with the Contractor on matters regarding contract performance of the Utility's work, provided the Utility's
inspector shall advise the County of any deficiencies in the Utility's work. The Utility's inspector shall
answer to the County's Chief Inspector. The County reserves the right to remove the Utility's inspector
from the project for unsatisfactory performance of his or her duties. The Utility shall promptly replace

itemized and detailed response as to why final acceptance of the Utility Work cannot be given. If the
Utility fails to respond to the County, the Utility will be deemed to have given final acceptance of the
Utility Work within ten (10) calendar days of the Utility's receipt of the notice of completion of the Utility's
work from the County, or on the first date on which the Utility puts any portion of the utility facilities into
operation, whichever occurs first. However, the Utility reserves the right to place a portion of the Utility
Work into service prior to completion of the entire Utility Work associated with the Project, and such early

acceptance by the Utility. Upon final acceptance of the Utility Work, the County shall be relieved of any
and all responsibility and/or liability for the Utility Work and the condition of the utility facilities, provided,

By memo dated December 13, 2002, you have asked for some sample language to be used in
Section IIID of the agreement related to the County assigning its contract rights, as they relate to
sewer construction to the City. I would suggest the following language:
"The County, after final acceptance of the utility work, shall assign to the
utility any and all contract rights and claims that the County has against
the contractor, as those rights relate to construction done for utility under
this agreement”
1 hope this is of assistance.

Re: FW: elliott bridge - agreement example for the city of Renton
Larry,
The City has reviewed the draft Utility Agreement and I have attached a revised version based upon staff
input as well as City Attorney review. Please let me know if these modifications are acceptable to the
County. The following is a list of the changes, with explanation:
Section IB - The City is requesting this section be removed. As the City is the sewer provider to this area,
the City should determine its cope and need for its facilities.
Section IIA - The City is leery of deductive alternates and would prefer the language of separate schedule
in this section.
Section HID - The City has added language regarding the County assigning its contract rights, as they
relate to the sewer construction, to the City.
Section IIIE - All references to water have been stricken, as this agreement pertains to sewer only.
Section IVA - We have added language to identify the maximum amount due based upon this agreement.
Section IVD - The City does not agree that we would owe 1 % interest per month as this rate is far greater
than the County would accrue. We have amended the language to be equal to the amount of investment
interest that the County earns.
Section VA & B - This revision was formatting only.
Section VIIC - The City added "contractually" to the first line and "be contractually required to" to the
second line.
Signature Block - This has been amended to reflect whom the City would have sign this agreement.
Thanks, Dave Christensen
