EXHIBIT C - PUBLIC BENEFIT
Renton Regional Fire Authority intends to develop parcels 3664500008, 3664500330, 3664500007 and
3664500009 for their new Fire Station 16 and Maintenance Building which will improve emergency
services to the City of Renton.
As part of the development, Renton Regional Fire Authority intends to vacate a portion of the existing
alley which bisects the parcels noted above. The existing alley runs east/west from 158th Avenue and
terminates at parcel 3664500320 – Lord of Life Lutheran Church.
The existing alley is currently unused by Lord of Life Lutheran Church and vacation of the alley will not
impact access to their site which is accessed directly from 160th Avenue Southeast.
Access to the newly developed Regional Fire Authority site will occur via a new driveway located on parcel
3664500009.
Once the project is completed, including the proposed alley vacation, the site can be fully fenced and
secured, thus enhancing public safety by preventing unauthorized access through the middle of the site
to both the newly developed Renton Regional Fire Authority facilities and the existing Lord of Life
Lutheran Church. This is critical for a fire station and maintenance building due to the millions of public
dollars invested in apparatus stored at the facilities. This vacation is important for responder safety and
security, since the unauthorized use of the site has already been encountered in the past. The unified site
additionally allows for an appropriate amount of code conforming impervious surface for natural site
infiltration and provides for safe access to accommodate standard drive-through fire station bays which
reduces accident risk.

City Council Regular Meeting - 10 Nov 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: 25ORD007 Extending Waiver of Garage Fees through 2026 City Center
Parking Garage
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Facilities Division
STAFF CONTACT: Jeff Minisci , Facilities Director
EXT.: 425-430-6643
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Allowing patrons to utilize the garage without charge (for free) is important to ensuring that it remains an
available option that drivers will utilize either for multi-hour parking for longer downtown visits, or for quicker
visits and times when on-street parking options are more limited. With construction impacts to downtown on-
street parking, the availability of free parking is an important tool for promoting downtown Renton.
Estimated pre-covid revenue was approximately $5,000 annually.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Facilities Division requests the Ordinance Extension toDecember 31, 2026, temporarily waives parking fees for
periods of up to 10 hours at the CityCenterGarage. Although the pandemic has ended, downtown businesses
remain in recovery mode and actual usage of the garage remains low, coupled with City construction in the
downtown that has impacted the availability of on street parking. Providing sufficient, convenient, and free
parking at the garage will assist in the recovery effort for downtown.
EXHIBITS:
A. Ordinance Extension
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the ordinance extending the temporary waiver of parking fees for up to 10 hours at the City Center
Parking Garage until December 31, 2026.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, EXTENDING THE
TEMPORARY WAIVER OF PARKING FEES FOR THE CITY CENTER PARKING GARAGE
ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE NO. 6139 FOR PERIODS OF UP TO 10 HOURS
WITHIN THE CITY’S CITY CENTER PARKING GARAGE LOCATED AT 655 SOUTH 2ND
STREET, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Center Parking Garage is an important asset for the downtown area
as it provides convenient parking for persons visiting downtown for events, dining, shopping,
recreation, and other business-related activities; and
WHEREAS, the actual usage of the garage remains fairly low. Allowing patrons to utilize
the garage without charge (for free) is important to ensuring that it remains an available option
that drivers will utilize either for multi-hour parking for longer downtown visits or for quicker
visits and times when on-street parking options are more limited; and
WHEREAS, construction of the nearby Pavilion is set to begin in the second quarter of
2025. During construction, property and business owners have been encouraged to recommend
the garage and its free parking option as an alternative place to park for customers and
employees. Leaving the free parking in place during 2026 allows the streetscape improvements
team to continue promoting this option during the remainder of the construction period; and
WHEREAS, although the pandemic has ended, downtown businesses remain in recovery
mode. Providing sufficient, convenient, and free parking at the garage will assist in the recovery
effort for Downtown’s small and locally-owned businesses by encouraging more customers to
visit Downtown to patronize them; and

City Council Regular Meeting - 10 Nov 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: Change Order No. 52 to CAG-22-163 with Pivetta Brother’s
Construction, Inc. for the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements -
Phase 4 Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Bob Hanson, Transportation Design Manager
EXT.: 7223
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The fiscal impact of Change Order No. 52 to CAG-22-163 with Pivetta Brother’s Construction Inc. is
$224,018.90. The Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvement Project has a current unencumbered balance of
$560,659.85. There is sufficient funding for this change order.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Rainier Ave S - Phase 4 (S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl) Project will extend previous corridor improvements from
South 3rd Street to 1,000 feet north of Airport Way (NW 3rd Pl). Project elements include extending a
southbound BAT lane from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, pedestrian improvements with street scaping, pedestrian
actuated traffic signal (HAWK), transit facility upgrades, access management, and a segment of a regional
pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail).
This change order addresses a discrepancy between the Contract’s provisions for driveway closures and the
City's operational intent. A field directive was issued requiring phased driveway construction to maintain
continuous access, limiting the impact to affected businesses. The original contract was written to allow for a
single driveway closure when a parcel has multiple driveways, however many of the businesses indicated they
always needed access to both driveways.
This impacted the amount of work required per driveway where there was more than one driveway per parcel,
as each had to be constructed in separate phases rather than in a single continuous phase. Constructing the
driveways in halves where there was more than one driveway per parcel reduced the overall efficiency of the
Contractor's operations, requiring additional time, mobilizations, and effort to complete a smaller scope of work
twice rather than completing the full driveway entrance in a single, continuous phase.
To accelerate reopening of driveways and further reduce effects to the businesses, the City required the use of
1-day high early strength concrete, which impacted the way driveway work could be completed. The rapid set
time of the material limited workable finishing time, requiring increased manpower to finish the concrete.
Additionally, the 1-day high early strength concrete cannot be placed using a curb machine, requiring it to be
hand-formed at driveway entrances.
These revised construction requirements were not anticipated in the original bid items and resulted in additional
effort and cost. This Change creates new bid items to compensate the Contractor for the increased scope of
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
work necessary to meet the City’s intent for uninterrupted business access and minimized public impact and
provides a credit for those bid items that were affected by the change.

Reason for Change:
This Change addresses a discrepancy between the Contract’s provisions for driveway
closures and the City's operational intent. Field Directive #89 clarified this expectation,
requiring phased driveway construction to maintain continuous access, limiting the impact
to affected businesses and the traveling public. This impacted the amount of work required
per driveway where there was more than one driveway per parcel, as each had to be
constructed in separate phases rather than in a single continuous phase. Constructing the
driveways in halves where there was more than one driveway per parcel reduced the
overall efficiency of the Contractor's operations, requiring additional time, mobilizations,
and effort to complete a smaller scope of work twice rather than completing the full
driveway entrance in a single, continuous phase.
To accelerate reopening of driveways and further reduce effects to the public and
businesses, Field Directive #95 required the use of 1-day high early strength concrete, which
impacted the way driveway work could be completed. The rapid set time of the material
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Change Order No. 52
Contract Title: Rainier Ave S. Corridor Improvements – Phase 4

Page 5 of 29
limited workable finishing time, requiring increased manpower to finish the concrete.
Additionally, the 1-day high early strength concrete cannot be placed using a curb machine,
requiring it to be hand-formed at driveway entrances.
These revised construction requirements were not anticipated in the original bid items and
resulted in additional effort and cost. This Change creates new bid items to compensate the
Contractor for the increased scope of work necessary to meet the City’s intent for
uninterrupted access and minimized public impact.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Adaptive Signal Control at Maple Valley Hwy, Sunset Blvd, NE 3rd St
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Flora Lee, Transportation Principal Civil Engineer
EXT.: 7303
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
This agenda item has two cost elements. An amendment to CAG-20-340 with Western Systems in the amount
of $123,200 and a contract award to SWANCO for vehicle detection equipment purchase in the amount of
$133,683.60. The project will be charged to TIP ITS Program (317.122162), which has a total 2025 budget of
$846,000 with $500,000 currently encumbered. The TIP ITS program has sufficient balance to fund this project
($256,883.60).
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
This project will implement adaptive signal control at the seven (7) traffic signals on the following corridors
shown in Exhibit C:
NE 3rd St from Monterey Ave NE to Sunset Blvd;
Sunset Blvd from NE 3rd St to I-405 southbound on-ramp and Maple Valley Hwy/Bronson Way;
Bronson Way/Maple Valley Hwy from Factory Ave N/Houser Way to Cedar River Park Drive.
This will expand City’s SCOOT (“Split Cycle Offset Optimization Technique”) system to 34 adaptive signal
control intersections. Installation of the vehicle detection and SCOOT will allow the system to adjust green
times dynamically and optimize traffic flow until demand exceeds physical capacity or the point of saturation.
The Transportation Section obtained two (2) quotes for this project: (1) Quote QUO-20251022 from Swarco in
the amount of $133,683.60 to procure sensor fusion vehicle detection equipment to provide stop bar and
advance (distance) detection for adaptive signal control; (2) Quote Q-20786 from Western Systems in the
amount of $123,200 for additional SCOOT support services to install adaptive signal control at the new
intersections and integrate with the existing SCOOT system. The vendors were selected pursuant to Policy &
Procedure No. 250-02, 5.3.2 Interlocal Purchasing Authorized, Agreement No. K2127 between Washington
State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) and City of Renton. Both vendors are under DES Contract No.
29023 for the procurement of products and support services related to Illumination Transportation and Traffic
Systems in compliance with RCW 39.26 and state procurement policies. The city’s system currently holds
adequate intersection licenses, and no additional licenses for the SCOOT[JS1] [FL2] system are required to support
this project.

City Council Regular Meeting - 10 Nov 2025
SUBJECT/TITLE: First Amendment to Water Supply Contract (CAG-11-093) between
the City of Renton and the City of Seattle
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Abdoul Gafour, Water Utility Engineering Manager
EXT.: 7210
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
This amendment has no additional fiscal impact to the city. Renton’s costs for wholesale water purchases
from Seattle, as well as participation in Seattle’s Regional Water Conservation Program, are already included
in the Water Utility Engineering and Maintenance annual budgets.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Water Utility requests Council’s approval of the First Amendment to the Water Supply Contract between
the City of Renton and the City of Seattle. This amendment will ensure Renton maintains access to a long-
term, reliable water supply to meet future needs.
In 2011, the City of Renton (“Renton”) entered into a 50-year long-term water supply contract (contract no.
CAG-11-093) with the City of Seattle (“Seattle”), effective from 2012 to 2062, to secure supplemental water
supply beyond Renton’s existing sources. Currently, Renton’s own sources supply approximately 99% of the
City’s water demand, with Seattle supplying the remaining 1%, primarily to serve the Renton Boeing plant.
As part of the agreement, Renton participates in Seattle’s Regional Water Conservation Program. For 2025,
Renton’s share of the conservation program cost is $172,212. In exchange for participation, Renton is exempt
from Seattle’s facilities charges for new water service connections.
In March 2021, Seattle and its 17 wholesale water purveyors, including Renton, began negotiations on the first
contract amendment, as permitted under the original water agreement. From April 2021 to May 2025, Seattle
convened monthly workshops with representatives from all wholesale purveyors to review proposed changes
to contract sections.
Several large purveyors retained legal counsel (Inslee & Best, Johnson & Johnson) and a financial consultant
(FCS Group) to provide technical and legal expertise throughout the negotiation process. By September 2025,
Seattle and all purveyors reached agreement on the amendment terms, pending approval by their respective
city councils and boards.
Most revisions in the First Amendment have minimal operational and financial impact on Renton, given the
City’s relatively small volume of water purchases from Seattle compared to other wholesale purveyors. Key
changes are summarized in Exhibit B (attached).
Key Impacts for Renton
• Updated Conservation Cost Share: Renton’s share of the Regional Conservation Program has been
adjusted from 5.7% to 6.8%, based on a recalculation of average annual water usage over the past five years,
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
relative to the total usage across Seattle's retail and wholesale service areas (see Sections II.E and IV.E.2.c of
the amendment).
• 2024 Conservation Program Surplus: In 2025, Seattle completed its true-up report for the 2024
program year. The report shows a surplus, including interest, of $123,752 attributable to Renton. This amount
will be credited to Renton in 2026, reducing the City’s 2026 conservation cost from a projected $156,047 to
$32,295.
• Continued Exemption from Facilities Charges: Renton remains exempt from Seattle’s facilities charges
for new water service connections.
Budget Considerations
The Water Utility has incorporated sufficient funding in its annual operations and maintenance budgets to
cover the costs associated with participation in Seattle’s Regional Conservation Program and ongoing and
future water purchases from Seattle.

First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRACT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SEATTLE AND CITY OF RENTON FOR THE
SUPPLY OF WATER
THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRACT (“Contract”) is entered into
between the CITY OF SEATTLE (“Seattle”), a municipal corporation of the State of
Washington, and the CITY OF RENTON (“Water Utility”), a municipal corporation of the State
of Washington.
RECITALS
1. Seattle owns and operates a system for the supply, treatment, transmission, and
distribution of potable water and is authorized to sell and distribute water to its residents
and to other persons and customers located outside the corporate limits of Seattle.
2. Seattle's water system is integral to the health and welfare of the residents located within
the retail and wholesale water service areas shown in Seattle's Water System Plan. Seattle
intends to provide water from the system to meet the current and future needs of the
residents of the wholesale water service areas pursuant to long-term water supply
contracts.
3. In meeting this service commitment, Seattle must ensure that this role does not place
financial burdens on its retail customers for which they do not receive a corresponding
benefit.
4. This Contract and contracts of a similar nature with other Wholesale Customers of Seattle
located within Seattle’s wholesale water service area are intended to provide those
Wholesale Customers and Seattle with the assurance of a long-term service commitment
for reliable and sustainable high quality water supply and to describe the terms and
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 2
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
conditions associated with that commitment.
5. Under this Contract, Seattle intends to provide wholesale water to Water Utility at an
equivalent Wholesale Level of Service with the same pricing and operational principles
as it provides itself.
6. Given the extensive growth of Seattle and the surrounding areas and the impacts upon
infrastructure and costs, this Contract is intended to provide sufficient water for growth.
As a general philosophy for cost sharing purposes, the parties desire to adopt the principle
that “growth should pay for growth.”
7. Seattle and Water Utility, together with other Wholesale Customers of Seattle, have
agreed to establish an Operating Board comprised of representatives from Seattle and
Wholesale Customers, along with an independent representative, all pledged to represent
the best interests of the region, to provide advice and direction in certain areas to the

City of Renton
or any Wholesale Customer may provide the other party and Wholesale
Customers with a written proposal to amend the Contract terms. All parties,
including Seattle, Water Utility, and other Wholesale Customers, shall consider
the proposal(s), if any. If the parties mutually agree to the proposal(s), or as
negotiated, prior to January 1, 2042 or January 1, 2062, or every 20 years
thereafter, respectively, or a date later than January 1 as may be mutually and
reasonably agreed to by the parties to continue negotiations, a written amendment
to this Contract shall be approved and executed by both parties and this Contract
shall be amended accordingly.
b. Seattle's Right to Amend. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on a proposal
by Seattle pursuant to subsection II.A.4.a above within the one-year period
associated with the 1st Review, or mutually agreed later date, Seattle may
propose in writing its desired amendment to the Operating Board by March 31,
2042, or by 90 days past the expiration of a mutually agreed later date. The
Operating Board shall review and recommend revisions, if any, to the proposed
amendment. Seattle and the Operating Board shall use reasonable efforts to
resolve any concerns in the proposal. After 90 days from Seattle's written
proposal to the Operating Board, Seattle may propose its desired amendment to
the Seattle City Council. If the Operating Board does not agree with Seattle’s
proposal, it may submit a revised proposal to the Seattle City Council within 90
days of Seattle’s submission of its proposal to the Seattle City Council. After
receiving the Operating Board’s alternate proposal, or after the lapse of the 90
day period for the Operating Board to make an alternate proposal, the Seattle City
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 12
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Council may then deny both proposals or approve one of them and issue an
amendment to this Contract, which shall be in effect for the remaining term of
the Contract from the date of issuance, unless later amended pursuant to this
subsection II.A.4, or by mutual agreement. Seattle shall not have the right to
unilaterally amend the Contract after the First Review period and all subsequent
Contract amendments must be mutually agreed to by Seattle and Water Utility.
c. Limitation on Seattle's Right to Amend. Notwithstanding subsection II.A.4.b
above, Seattle shall not have the right to amend the Contract under that provision
in a manner to: (i) reduce its obligation to provide the Full or Partial Water
Requirements of Water Utility, as appropriate; (ii) cease to provide wholesale
water to Water Utility at an equivalent Wholesale Level of Service as it provides
to itself; (iii) charge a higher wholesale rate for water supply and transmission to
Water Utility than that charged to the Seattle Retail Distribution System,; (iv)
reduce its water quality obligations for the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System; (v) change the methodology for calculating Rate of Return on
Investment; (vi) restrict Water Utility's right to terminate or reduce its Purchase
Commitment,; (vii) disband or significantly reduce the powers of the Operating
Board; (viii) amend any Contract provision that will apply only to Water Utility;
ix) change the definition of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System; (x)
extend or expand its contractual rights to any portion of Water Utility’s retail
water distribution systems; (xi) include taxes or surcharges beyond what the
water rate setting industry would consider normal in wholesale rates or that are
not in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (xii) amend any Contract
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 13
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
provision relating to Seattle's obligation to approve Water Utility's proposal to
introduce Alternate Supplies into Water Utility's retail distribution system as
provided in Section II.D.9; (xiii) change the criteria for approval of Alternate
Supplies.
d. Intent. The purpose and intent of the provisions allowing Seattle a limited right
to amend the Contract as provided in Section II.A.4.b-c. are to provide Seattle
with flexibility to administer numerous Full and Partial Requirements Contracts
in a consistent manner when changes to the Contract are desired by Seattle but
are not approved by the Operating Board and/or all of the Wholesale Customers
as well as to make reasonable changes in response to changing conditions, laws,
and regulations over the course of this long-term Contract. Any proposed
amendments to the Contract are subject to the procedures and limitations
provided in Section II.A.4.b-c. When Seattle no longer has this limited right to
amend, Wholesale Customers may agree to different contract terms which could
necessitate the creation of separate Full and Partial Requirements Customer
Classes each with their own Wholesale Statements and administered according
to each Class’s agreed-to contract terms.
II.B. Agreement to Supply and Purchase Water
1. Full or Partial Requirements Commitment. Seattle shall supply, and Water Utility shall
purchase, Water Utility’s Full or Partial Water Requirements as specified in Exhibit I, for
the term of this Contract, unless amended pursuant to the provisions below.
2. Expansions in Water Utility’s Service Area. Seattle shall supply the Full or Partial Water
Requirements, as appropriate, if Water Utility acquires additional service area that is: 1)

effect on the Effective Date of this Contract and 2) which is not already served with water
from the Seattle Regional Water Supply System, subject to a) the availability of water in
the Seattle Regional Water Supply System as reasonably determined by Seattle; b) the
limitation of Seattle’s Service Area Boundary; and c) Water Utility’s payment of
Facilities Charges (“FCs”) for the retail service connections in that additional service area
in accordance with Section IV.D. The parties will cooperate to amend, by letter agreement
Exhibits I and II, as appropriate, for the limited purpose of documenting the changed
circumstances resulting from acquiring the additional service area.
3. Contractions in Water Utility’s Service Area. In the event Water Utility’s entire service
area and service responsibilities, or portion thereof, are assumed by or are transferred to
another utility or utilities, then this Contract shall become null and void at the time, and
to the extent, the assumption or transfer becomes effective; provided, however, 1) this
Contract will remain in full force and effect for Water Utility’s remaining service area,
if any; and 2) if the transferee of the service area is a Wholesale Customer, Seattle shall
provide water to the transferee according to the terms of the transferee's water supply
contract with Seattle. Seattle, Water Utility and the transferee Wholesale Customer will
cooperate to amend, by letter agreement Exhibits I and II, as appropriate, for the limited
purpose of documenting the changed circumstances resulting from the transfer. If the
transferee is not a Wholesale Customer, then Seattle may offer the transferee a water
supply contract for the transferred service area subject to terms and conditions as Seattle
shall determine.
4. Annexation by Seattle. If Water Utility’s entire service area, or a portion thereof, is
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 15
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
annexed to Seattle, then this Contract shall become null and void to the extent of the
annexation and upon the effective date of Seattle's assumption of Water Utility's water
system or a portion thereof. In the event Water Utility has remaining service area after the
assumption, this Contract will remain in full force and effect for the remaining service
area, and Seattle and Water Utility will cooperate to amend, by letter agreement Exhibits
I and II, as appropriate, for the limited purpose of documenting the changed circumstances
resulting from the annexation of a portion of Water Utility’s service area.
5. Water Utility’s Right to Terminate or Reduce Purchase Commitment. Water Utility may
terminate or reduce its Purchase Commitment subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below.
a. Notice Required:
i. Timing: Water Utility must submit 5 years’ advance written notice (“Notice

II.C. Continuity of Service within the Term of the Contract
1. Parity of Service. Seattle shall provide wholesale water to Water Utility at an equivalent
Wholesale Level of Service that it provides to the Seattle Retail Distribution System.
2. Emergency and Water Shortage Contingency Planning. Seattle shall adopt, as part of its
Water System Plan, emergency plans to provide for water supply in the event of drought
or disaster. It is recognized by both parties that Seattle may adopt plans to manage
emergencies or water shortages that are implemented on a regional basis in order to meet
an emergency condition or a water shortage that impacts the Seattle Regional Water
Supply System and may offer trainings or coordinate emergency preparedness activities
amongst water utilities within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Seattle will
follow the Seattle Water Shortage Contingency Plan or any other emergency plan in effect
as of the effective date of this Contract, and as may be added or amended from time to

Distribution System. Water Utility shall assist with and support all procedures or
emergency plans, including cooperating with restrictions on water deliveries, that are
implemented under Seattle’s then current Water Shortage Contingency Plan, or another
adopted emergency plan that impacts the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Water
Utility is responsible for adopting its own plans for emergencies or water shortages from
Alternate Supplies or within its retail distribution system. Seattle may offer assistance or
coordinate with Water Utility to make mutual aid plans together, including via WA
WARN or other platform as mutually agreed.
3. Other Emergencies or Interruptions to Service. It is recognized by both parties that Seattle
may temporarily interrupt or reduce deliveries of water or revise conditions of service
(e.g. minimum hydraulic gradient) (collectively “Temporary Interruptions”), to Water
Utility if Seattle determines that Temporary Interruptions are necessary or reasonable in
case of system emergencies or in order to conduct necessary operations and maintenance,
including but not limited to, installing equipment, making repairs, replacements,
investigations and inspections or performing other maintenance work on the Seattle
Regional Water Supply System. Except in cases of emergency, and in order that Water
Utility's operations will not be unreasonably interrupted, Seattle shall give Water Utility
and the Operating Board reasonable notice of any Temporary Interruptions, the reasons
for and the probable duration. Seattle shall use its best efforts to minimize Temporary
Interruptions to Water Utility.
4. Waiver of Charges. If Temporary Interruptions require that Water Utility draw water
supply in a manner that would potentially subject Water Utility to demand charges under
Section IV.G.5.a, Seattle shall waive the demand charges during the period of the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 25
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Temporary Interruption.
II.D. Water Quality
1. Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Seattle shall be responsible for water quality
within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Seattle and Water Utility shall work
collaboratively to address water quality concerns raised by Water Utility. The Water

water quality responsibilities to deliver safe, high-quality water in the most cost-effective
manner for the region.
2. Applicable Standards. Seattle shall at all times during the term of this Contract deliver
water through the end of the Service Connection(s) that meets or exceeds all applicable
Federal and State regulations as may be amended from time to time. The parties
acknowledge and agree that a minor regulatory violation (e.g. missed sample collection)
is not considered a default of Seattle’s water quality obligations under this Section II.D
except to the extent it is significant in duration and risk to public health and Seattle has
not made good faith efforts to correct the violation consistent with the applicable
regulations.
3. System-wide Water Quality Program. Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board,
may develop and implement a system-wide water quality program, portions of which will
guide its obligations for water quality within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System
under this Section II.D consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, industry
standards and operational needs. The system-wide program may include, but not be
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 26
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
limited to objectives, policies and procedures, and roles and responsibilities for water
quality treatment, regulatory and non-regulatory monitoring, reporting, water quality
incident response, cross-connection control, and best or adaptive management practices.
Seattle will allocate these program costs to the appropriate cost pools as provided in
Section IV.
4. Role of Operating Board. The Operating Board may:
a. review and recommend revisions to the relevant portions of Seattle’s system-wide
water quality program related to the Seattle Regional Water Supply System or obligations
under this Contract;
b. recommend best or adaptive water quality management practices for the Seattle
Regional Water Supply System;
c. approve allowances for flushing when Seattle or Operating Board determines flushing

d. review and recommend revisions to the water quality criteria Seattle adopts and applies
prior to: (1) approving the introduction of a new water source into the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System or into Water Utility’s retail distribution system if the new water
source will be mixed with water from the Seattle Regional Water Supply System under
Section II.D.9 and Seattle can establish that the revisions to the water quality criteria are
related to the Seattle Regional Water Supply System, or (2) determining whether a new or
increased Independent Supply may be eligible for an offset or Billing Credit under Section
II.B.5.c.ii;
e. approve any changes to the water quality obligations under this Section II.D upon
recommendation by Seattle, resulting from changes in regulatory requirements during the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 27
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
term of this Contract. The parties will amend this Section II.D by letter agreement in the
event the Operating Board approves changes to the water quality obligations under this
subsection; and
f. establish a technical subcommittee(s) to assist in its roles under this Section II.D.4.
5. Distribution Systems. Water Utility shall be responsible for compliance with all
applicable federal, state, and local water quality laws and regulations with in its retail
distribution system. Seattle is not responsible for water quality compliance for water from
Alternate Supplies.
6. Monitoring. Monitoring generally consists of sample collection, testing and reporting.
Seattle is responsible for water quality monitoring for the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System and Water Utility is responsible for water quality monitoring for its retail
distribution system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that
it is in the best interests of the region for Seattle to perform certain monitoring
responsibilities as described below within those Wholesale Customers’ retail distribution
systems that have not opted out of the monitoring services as described below and to
include the costs of such monitoring services in the appropriate cost pools under Section
IV of this Contract. Seattle will not monitor the water within a Wholesale Customer’s
retail distribution system that opts out of monitoring services. A Wholesale Customer
that elects to opt out of Seattle’s monitoring services shall submit a written notice to
Seattle of its election to opt out of these monitoring services. Water Utility may contract
with Seattle to perform water quality monitoring and reporting services that are in addition
to Seattle’s obligations under this Section II.D as an elective service under Section IV.F.
of this Contract. Specific monitoring procedures for Rules identified in the Federal Safe
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 28
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Drinking Water Act (40 CFR 141) and Chapter 246-290 WAC are described below:
a. Surface Water Treatment Rule (“SWTR”) and Groundwater Rule (“GWR”).
Seattle shall perform all monitoring for the water sources it owns in the Seattle
Regional Water Supply System, and any chlorine residual sample collection and
testing in Water Utility’s distribution system, which is done in conjunction with
Seattle’s TCR monitoring consistent with Section II.D.6.c below. Seattle will
report SWTR and GWR results to WA DOH and chlorine residual data to Water
Utility. Water Utility is responsible for any applicable monitoring for its
Independent or other Alternate Supplies and any other chlorine residual
monitoring within its retail distribution system required under the SWTR.
b. Lead and Copper Rule (“LCR”). Seattle shall perform monitoring within retail
distribution systems for Wholesale Customers who hold Full Requirements
Contracts under a regional LCR program. If Water Utility is a holder of a Full
Requirements Contract, Water Utility is responsible for coordinating the location
and collection of samples and reporting results to property owners as part of the
regional LCR program. If Water Utility is a holder of a Partial Requirements
Contract, Water Utility is responsible for all monitoring for LCR within its retail
distribution system. In that case, Water Utility may elect to use the Seattle WQ
Lab to test any LCR samples it collects as an Elective Service pursuant to Section
IV.F.
c. Total Coliform Rule (“TCR”). Seattle shall perform all routine sample collection
and testing within Water Utility’s retail distribution system, unless Water Utility
notifies Seattle in writing that it will be responsible for all routine TCR
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 29
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
monitoring within its retail distribution system. When Seattle performs routine
TCR monitoring, Seattle shall report results to Water Utility and WA DOH, and
Water Utility shall verify number and location for routine sample collection.
Water Utility is responsible for performing any repeat sample collection, testing,
and required reporting to WA DOH. Water Utility may elect to use the Seattle
WQ Lab to test any samples it collects as an Elective Service under Section IV.F
and Seattle will report results to Water Utility and WA DOH.
d. Disinfection By-Products Rule (“DBP”). Seattle shall perform all routine sample
collection at designated sample stands and testing of those samples within Water
Utility’s retail distribution system unless Water Utility notifies Seattle in writing
that it will be responsible for all DBP monitoring within its retail distribution
system. When Seattle performs routine DBP monitoring, Seattle shall report
results to Water Utility and WA DOH, and Water Utility shall verify number and
location for sample collection. Water Utility is responsible for any routine sample
collection at sites that are not designated sample stands and any additional sample
collection, testing of samples it collects, and required reporting to WA DOH.
Water Utility may elect to use the Seattle WQ Lab to test any samples it collects
as an Elective Service under Section IV.F and Seattle will report results to Water
Utility and WA DOH.
e. Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (“UCMR”). Seattle shall perform all
applicable monitoring required under the UCMR within the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System. Water Utility will be responsible for all applicable
monitoring required under the UCMR within its retail distribution system. Upon
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 30
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
recommendation by Seattle, the Operating Board may approve an alternate
allocation of monitoring responsibilities under the UCMR when it is in the best
interests of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. The costs of any
monitoring Seattle performs within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System or
as approved by the Operating Board will be allocated to the appropriate cost pool
under Section IV of this Contract.
f. Other Monitoring. Seattle shall perform any other regulatory or non-regulatory
monitoring within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System it deems necessary
to ensure safe, high quality water; including but not limited to, other source and
miscellaneous monitoring; taste and odor sampling; and emerging contaminants.
Water Utility will be responsible for any additional regulatory or non-regulatory
monitoring within its retail distribution system.
7. Water Quality Reporting to Regulatory Agencies and Retail Customers (Consumer
Confidence Reports). Each Wholesale Customer, including Water Utility, and Seattle, at
its sole cost, is responsible for periodic water quality notifications and reporting to its
respective retail customers and regulatory agencies as required by law. Seattle shall
provide Water Utility all relevant water quality monitoring data consistent with its
responsibilities in Section II.D.6 above in a timely manner so that Water Utility may
incorporate the water quality data in its required notifications or reports and Seattle may
offer public notification assistance, training, or other public notification resources to
Water Utility.
8. Flushing. Water Utility shall be solely responsible for flushing water mains within its
retail distribution system. Flushing allowances will be provided by Seattle when Seattle
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 31
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
or the Operating Board determine flushing is the best available option to maintain or
improve regional water quality.
9. New Water Sources. To ensure public health and regional reliability, the parties agree
that blending of water supplies is a matter of regional importance to be managed with the
cooperation of the Water Utility, the Operating Board, and Seattle. Therefore, before
Water Utility may introduce a new Alternate Supply into its retail distribution system that
will mix with water from the Seattle Regional Water Supply System, Seattle must approve
the Alternate Supply in writing as a compatible source after an evaluation using customary
and reasonable water quality criteria developed in consultation with the Operating Board
from time to time. Seattle is required to approve the proposed Alternate Supply when
the evaluation establishes that the proposed Alternate Supply meets the following
criteria: 1) satisfactory results from a blending study to determine the compatibility of the
new Alternate Supply with existing sources already in the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System or Water Utility’s retail distribution system; 2) the appropriate method and level
of treatment and the probable distribution area of the new Alternate Supply within Water
Utility’s retail distribution system; and 3) satisfactory evidence that Water Utility has
obtained all necessary and appropriate regulatory permits, reviews, agreements and
approvals for rights to and operational use of the Alternate Supply. The requirements
under this Section II.D.9 are in addition to any other requirements, e.g. Section II.B.5,
under this Contract to add a new Alternate Supply.
10. Transfers Outside Water Utility’s Retail Distribution System. If Water Utility has
approval pursuant to Section III.B and transfers water from the Seattle Regional Water
Supply System through its retail distribution system to the distribution system of another

First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
water utility, Water Utility, the other water utility, or both, shall be fully responsible for
meeting all applicable water quality standards related to the transfer of such water
between their respective systems. Seattle will not be responsible for water quality for
water transferred outside of Water Utility’s retail distribution system.
II.E. Regional Water Conservation Program
The parties acknowledge and agree that conservation is an important ongoing tool to manage water
supply resources and that a regional program, implemented collaboratively between Seattle and
Wholesale Customers, to assist retail customers in using water efficiently will help defer
development of New Supply Facilities and meet applicable regulations and agreements including,
but not limited to, Washington State’s Municipal Water Law (Chapter 90.03 RCW, as may be
amended from time to time) and associated Water Use Efficiently (WUE) Rule (WAC 246-290
Part 8, as amended from time to time), Seattle’s 2000 Cedar River Habitat Conservation Plan
(HCP) and the 2006 Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) Settlement Agreement. As a condition of
service under this Contract, Water Utility agrees to participate in the Regional Water
Conservation Program (“Program”), as it may be amended from time to time during the term of
this Contract, consistent with the Program guidelines below.
1. Program Elements. The Regional Water Conservation Program generally consists of the
adoption of a regional WUE goal, good faith participation by all Wholesale Customers
and Seattle, measurement of performance toward the regional WUE goal on a regional
basis, and a combination of measures such as education, technical assistance and
financial incentives to achieve the regional WUE goal.
2. Role of Operating Board. The Operating Board will approve the regional WUE goal
subject to the additional approval under Section II.E.5 below and the total Program
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 33
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
budget subject to further approval by Seattle City Council, and set the strategic priorities
for the Program consistent with any applicable requirements from regulations,
agreements or orders. The Operating Board will also determine the cost recovery
mechanism for the infrastructure costs of the Program, i.e. New Supply Rates or FCs,
pursuant to Section IV.C.2.b. The Operating Board may also establish and provide
strategic direction to a technical subcommittee of the Operating Board, the Conservation
Technical Forum (“CTF”), comprised of program level staff from each Wholesale
Customer and Seattle.
3. Role of Conservation Technical Forum. The CTF participates in designing the Regional
Water Conservation Program, consistent with the strategic direction from the Operating
Board, and may include review or generation of proposed Program elements or
measures.
4. Role of Seattle. Seattle will administer the Regional Water Conservation Program,
consistent with the approved regional WUE goal and total Program Budget, Program
priorities and in consultation with the CTF. Administration includes, but is not limited
to: staffing, including any consultants, to implement the Program; maintaining the
Program website; maintaining a system to accept, process, and pay rebates; providing
technical assistance to retail customers; developing template education and outreach
materials for Wholesale Customers and Seattle to use in their retail distribution service
areas (“Program materials”); coordinating certain regional marketing efforts with CTF;
and providing each Wholesale Customer, including Water Utility, information related to
achievement of the regional WUE goal and Program activity level within their respective
retail distribution service areas.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 34
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
5. Role of Wholesale Customers. At their own cost and expense, Seattle and each
Wholesale Customer, including Water Utility, is responsible for marketing the Program
using the Program materials within their retail service area that are in addition to any
regional marketing efforts coordinated with CTF; adopting the regional WUE goal by
their governing body; any required reporting of the regional WUE goal and performance
to the State and their respective retail customers; and data collection as needed to track
the regional WUE goal in their respective retail distribution systems.
6. Conservation in Addition to the Regional Program. Water Utility may elect to implement
its own water conservation program or measures, in addition to the Regional Water
Conservation Program, at its own discretion and its sole cost.
7. Postponing the Need for New Supply Facilities. In order to avoid the necessity of
developing or acquiring New Supply Facilities for as long as reasonably practicable, any
water saved through the Regional Water Conservation Program shall be dedicated first
to the municipal water supply purposes of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System
before any other use of such water may be undertaken.
8. Responding to changes in Conservation Program requirements. The parties acknowledge
and agree that changes in conservation regulation, agreements, and other conservation
requirements may occur from time to time. Upon Seattle’s request, Water Utility will
cooperate to amend, by letter agreement, this Contract as appropriate, for the limited
purpose of documenting adjustments to the Regional Water Conservation Program or
documenting other conservation activities resulting from such changed circumstances.
II.F Cedar River Watershed Education Center and Other Facilities
Water Utility may use the Cedar River Watershed Education Center up to two times per year
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 35
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water

without charge, subject to availability. Water Utility may request occasional guided tours of the
Cedar River Watershed or other facilities in the regional system. Water Utility may coordinate
any use under this provision with the Wholesale Contracts Manager.
SECTION III. CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
III.A. Minimum Hydraulic Gradient and Flow Rates
1. Initial Minimum and Flow Rates. Seattle shall operate and maintain the Regional
Facilities, and Subregional Facilities, if applicable, as necessary to maintain the minimum
hydraulic gradients at each Service Connection as long as Water Utility does not exceed
the flow rates at each Service Connection that are allocated from and based on maximum
day demand, both of which are more specifically described in Exhibit II for each Service
Connection. Seattle and Water Utility will include this information in their respective
water system plans. Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board, may increase the
flow rates in Exhibit II from time to time based on updated average daily demand
projections subject to transmission system capacity. Water Utility shall use best efforts to
operate and maintain its retail distribution system in a manner consistent with the flow
rates described in Exhibit II. Water Utility may use all or some of the flow rates allocated
to each Service Connection on any other Service Connection that is located on the same
Pipeline Segment Number, but in that case, the minimum hydraulic gradients are not
guaranteed. Water Utility shall avoid taking water from a Service Connection in a manner
that exceeds the flow rates for that Service Connection (or the aggregate flow rate for the
Service Connections on the same Pipeline Segment Number) or take the flow at a rate
faster than 24 hours, e.g. excessive intraday peaking, which could impact Regional
Facilities or other Wholesale Customers downstream or upstream of Water Utility’s
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 36
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Service Connections. Upon notice by Seattle, Water Utility shall immediately reduce
water deliveries at the Service Connection to no more than the flow rates for a Service
Connection (or aggregate on same Pipeline Segment Number) in Exhibit II. In the event
that Water Utility does not reduce deliveries as required under this provision, Seattle may
install and operate flow restricting devices at the Service Connection(s), at Water Utility’s
expense. Water Utility shall maintain sufficient storage in its retail distribution system to
manage peak demands in excess of the flow rates in Exhibit II and may be subject to the
Demand Charges pursuant to Section IV.G.5.a. if storage is insufficient. The parties will
amend Exhibit II by letter agreement to reflect any modifications pursuant to this Section
III.A.1.
2. Modifications. If Seattle proposes a capital improvement project that would result in
needing to modify the minimum hydraulic gradient and the corresponding flow rates at
one or more Service Connections, Seattle may modify the minimum hydraulic gradient
and corresponding flow rates described in Exhibit II if Seattle finds, and the Operating
Board concurs, that Seattle’s proposed capital improvement project would benefit the
Seattle Regional Water Supply System and that it is feasible from an economic, land use
and engineering perspective for Water Utility to adapt to the modification at its expense.
Seattle may make these modifications only once during any fifteen (15) year period
provided that four (4) years advance written notice is given to Water Utility unless a
shorter notice is approved by the Operating Board. The parties will amend Exhibit II by
letter agreement to reflect any modifications pursuant to this Section III.A.2.
3. New or Changed Service Connections. Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board,
and Water Utility may mutually agree, to new or relocated Service Connections or
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 37
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
adjustments to the minimum hydraulic gradients and corresponding flow rates. The
parties will amend Exhibit II by letter agreement to reflect any changes under this
provision. Any costs associated with a new or changed Service Connection will be
allocated consistent with Section IV.C.1.c.
III.B. Resale to Other Parties
Water Utility may sell, or supply for emergency purposes, water supplied by Seattle to other
water utilities located outside of Water Utility's existing or future retail service area and within
Seattle’s Service Area Boundary, or to Seattle’s other Wholesale Customers, block customers or
retail customers, only upon the prior written consent of Seattle (or oral, in case of emergency),
which consent may include any terms and conditions or limitations Seattle may require.
Agreements for resale or emergency supply of water by Water Utility listed in Sections I or IV
of Exhibit I, as appropriate, are hereby approved by Seattle subject to whatever written terms,
conditions and limitations that Seattle has imposed on such resale or emergency supply.
III.C. Interconnection With Other Systems
1. Prohibition on Interconnection. Water Utility shall not interconnect any part of its retail
distribution system supplied with water from Seattle with other water systems
without the prior written approval of Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board,
or, in case of emergency, upon oral approval by Seattle, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any such interconnection also shall be subject to the approval of the
Washington State Department of Health and the installation of a meter. The
interconnecting systems must be in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations including the requirement that they have a valid operating permit issued
by the Washington State Department of Health. The parties will revise Exhibit I by letter
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 38
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
agreement to include any interconnections approved under this Section III.C.1.
2. Requests by Seattle to Interconnect. Seattle may request that Water Utility interconnect
its retail distribution system to the distribution system of an adjacent Wholesale
Customer for the purposes of wheeling water from the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System through Water Utility’s retail distribution system to the adjacent Wholesale
Customer, provided that the adjacent Wholesale Customer has agreed to be subject to the
provisions of Section III.C.2.b below. Water Utility shall comply with that request
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
a. Requirement for Interconnection. If Water Utility does not consent to Seattle's
request for interconnection, Seattle may submit its request to the Operating Board.
Water Utility may present the reasons it does not consent to the interconnection to
the Operating Board, and may include alternatives for consideration to serve the
adjacent Wholesale Customer. The Operating Board shall consider the matter.
Upon (a) a written finding by the Operating Board that the proposed
interconnection with an adjacent Wholesale Customer for wheeling purposes is
feasible taking into account Water Utility's capabilities, limitations, and
obligations, (b) a written finding by the Operating Board that such interconnection
benefits the Seattle Regional Water Supply System and (c) a written demand of
the Operating Board that Water Utility carry out the interconnection, Water Utility
shall be required to interconnect its facilities to the adjacent Wholesale Customer
for the purposes of wheeling water to that Wholesale Customer through its retail
distribution system, provided that the adjacent Wholesale Customer has agreed to
be subject to the provisions of Section III.C.2.b below.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 39
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
b. Payment and Indemnity. Seattle will require that the adjacent Wholesale
Customer agree: 1) to perform or cause to perform the interconnection, at adjacent
Wholesale Customer’s cost, in a location and according to specifications and a
schedule acceptable to Seattle and Water Utility that do not unduly disrupt Water
Utility’s operations; 2) pay Water Utility its actual costs incurred to review,
inspect and accept the installation of the interconnection; 3) pay Water Utility a
reasonable rate or charge for the cost of wheeling the water to the adjacent
Wholesale Customer as determined by the Water Utility; and 4) indemnify Water
Utility from any liability that may result from operating the interconnection to
deliver water to the adjacent Wholesale Customer. The Operating Board may
adopt a standard methodology based on industry standards for calculating costs
that ensures that Water Utility is fairly compensated for wheeling water through
its retail distribution system. The adjacent Wholesale Customer may request
review of Water Utility's wheeling rate by the Operating Board. The Operating
Board shall have the authority to revise any rate that it determines is in excess of
the Water Utility's full costs of owning, operating, maintaining, repairing and
replacing and supporting the water facilities necessary to wheel water to the
adjacent Wholesale Customer.
III.D. Development of Seattle Regional Water Supply System Infrastructure
Final decisions and authority to approve construction of capital infrastructure related to the Seattle
Regional Water Supply System shall rest with the Seattle City Council. Capital construction
activities include, but are not limited to installations, renewals, replacements, upgrades,
expansions, and any other costs included in Seattle’s Capital Improvement Plan as more
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 40
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
particularly described in Section VI.D.
III.E. Metering Equipment
1. Service Connection Meters. Seattle shall own and perform reading, testing, cleaning,
routine maintenance and recalibration on the meters within each Service Connection to
measure the amount of water delivered to Water Utility through the Service Connection
pursuant to this Contract. Seattle shall perform all other work on the Service Connections
including major maintenance, repairs, and replacements, at Water Utility’s expense
regardless of the cause, provided that the cause is consistent with AWWA and safety
standards and practices (e.g. major maintenance, repairs and replacements) except to the
extent the costs are a result of 1) Seattle’s negligence, or 2) a meter failure within 5 years
of the original installation; in which for both cases, the costs shall be allocated to the
Existing Regional System Cost Pool. Water Utility shall operate and maintain its retail
distribution system in a manner that the water flowing through the Service Connection
meter operates within the normal operating range for the meter as specified by the
manufacturer. In the event Seattle fails to conduct routine maintenance on the meters,
including vault structures, Water Utility may notify Seattle of its failure and request that
Seattle conduct the necessary and appropriate maintenance within a period of 90 days.
Water Utility may in its discretion install additional water meters within Water Utility's
water system to measure the supply of water from Seattle under this Contract. In the
event of a discrepancy in meter readings, the parties will work in good faith to resolve
the discrepancy.
2. Deliveries to Seattle. Until such time as Seattle determines it to be economical to install
metering devices to measure the amount of water delivered from the Seattle Regional
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 41
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Water Supply System to the Seattle Retail Distribution System, the amount of water
delivered to the Seattle Retail Distribution System shall be measured indirectly by
subtracting the metered water delivered to all of Seattle’s Wholesale Customers and
other wholesale customers, e.g. block contract holders, from 98% of the total amount of
water exiting Seattle’s sources of supply as measured by the supply meters. Seattle shall
perform routine maintenance and recalibration of its supply meters in accordance with
industry standards to ensure the accuracy of the data and information being provided by
the supply meter.
SECTION IV. COST OF WATER SUPPLY & TRANSMISSION
Cost-based rates are a water industry accepted practice and the historical practice of Seattle and
the Wholesale Customers. The ratemaking principles, policies and methodologies set forth in this
Section IV are intended to meet the objective of equitable and cost-based rates.
IV.A. Ratemaking and Cost-allocation Principles
The parties will apply the following general principles and policies to the establishment of all
rates, charges, and cost allocations for water supply, transmission, and related services under this
Contract.
1. No expenses attributable to electric power development may be allocated to the cost
pools identified herein unless the pools are allocated a commensurate share of revenue
derived from such development.
2. Seattle shall utilize the governmental accounting and financial reporting standards
established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB standards”) that
follow generally accepted accounting principles, as may be amended from time to time,
consistently applied as a basis for developing the financial information upon which rates
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 42
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
and charges are based.
3. Abrupt changes in financial policies should be avoided.
4. The rate structure should encourage the efficient use of water, conservation and the
timely development of new environmentally responsible, cost-efficient, and high-quality
water sources and should incorporate seasonal rates and other pricing approaches to
encourage efficient use.
5. The rate structure should be innovative, flexible, and adaptive whenever it is cost
effective and beneficial in furthering the ratemaking policies.
6. The rate structure should be simple to administer and easily understandable.
7. The rate structure should be designed to recover the costs to own, operate and support
the Seattle Regional Water Supply System fairly and objectively.
8. Unless modified with the approval of the Operating Board or implemented prior to the
initiation of the current Contract review process in 2020, Seattle’s ratemaking processes
will reflect the generally accepted guidelines and practices of the U.S. water industry.
9. When revenues for regional or subregional assets are received outside of rates or
Facilities Charges (such as but not limited to capital contributions, grants, donated plant,
insurance or FEMA reimbursements, payments based on allowances or other agreed-
upon terms), that portion of the asset equal to the amount of outside revenue received
shall be removed from the applicable cost pool. When revenues for Index O&M Costs
or Non-Index O&M Costs are received outside of rates (such as but not limited to grants,
fee for services, insurance or FEMA reimbursements, payments based on allowances
or other agreed-upon terms), the Index O&M Costs or Non-Index O&M Costs shall be
reduced by the corresponding amount.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 43
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
10. Certain costs may be recovered through allowances or other mutually negotiated terms.
Any costs recovered through such terms must be recognized and accounted for
appropriately within Seattle’s ratemaking processes to eliminate the possibility of
double-recovery.
11. Any portion of Seattle’s Non-Index O&M Costs or capital costs which benefit only an
individual Wholesale Customer or serves growth of a customer having a Block Purchase
Contract shall be allocated to that customer or to a cost pool in which the customer bears
an appropriate share, except as specifically provided in Sections IV.C.3.b, IV.D.2, and
VI.D.2 of this Contract.
12. Only those costs incurred by the Seattle Water Enterprise Fund to own, operate, and
reasonably support the Seattle Regional Water Supply System are eligible for recovery
through the rates and charges pursuant to the terms of this Contract.
13. Seattle shall provide reasonable and early notice and appropriate information to the
Operating Board so that it can carry out its roles with reasonable opportunity for
meaningful input.
14. The Seattle Retail Distribution System shall be treated as the equivalent of a Wholesale
Customer of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System for the purpose of charging
Seattle the same applicable wholesale rates and charges as Water Utility for water supply
and transmission unless specifically provided otherwise in this Contract. Costs calculated
under the costs pools described below shall apply to all Wholesale Customers and to the
Seattle Retail Distribution System consistently.
15. All parties will use best efforts in establishing rates and cost allocations that reflect the
ratemaking and cost allocation principles set forth in this Section IV.A.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 44
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
16. Costs should be capitalized for wholesale ratemaking purposes by applying the same
capitalization policy as applied to the Seattle Water Enterprise Fund, except as allowed
under Section IV.D.2.a.i.
IV.B. Ratemaking Framework
Subject to the foregoing principles, wholesale rates and charges for the services described in this
Contract shall be developed by Seattle based on the following framework:
1. Water Supply and Transmission Services. The costs of water supply and transmission
of water shall be accounted for in the cost pools described in Section IV.C below. Seattle
will recover the costs in each cost pool by establishing separate rates or charges for each
cost pool but may charge composite rates. Rates and charges will be applied consistently
to Wholesale Customers within a Customer Class and the Seattle Retail Distribution
System except as may be specifically defined as a charge to an individual or subset of
Wholesale Customers, including Seattle.
2. Mixed-use Allowances. Seattle owns and operates Mixed-use Assets and performs
Mixed-use O&M that are shared between or used to support both the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System and the Seattle Retail Distribution System. The parties mutually
agree to the recovery of costs of the portion of the Mixed-use Assets and Mixed-use
O&M used to support the Seattle Regional Water Supply System to the extent specified
in this Contract, including in Sections IV.D.2.b and 3.a.ii.
3. Seattle Retail Distribution System. Seattle may not allocate the costs of the Seattle Retail
Distribution System or the portion of the Mixed-use Assets and Mixed-use O&M used
to support the Seattle Retail Distribution System to any cost pools under this Contract.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)

Board to this cost pool.
3. New Transmission Cost Pool. The New Transmission Cost Pool shall be accounted for
as follows:
a. A rate shall be charged to recover the full costs of owning, constructing, operating,
maintaining, repairing, renewing, and replacing and supporting the New
Transmission Facilities, which are assigned to this cost pool. Seattle may amend
the list of New Transmission Facilities in Exhibit VI, if necessary, to add or delete
New Transmission Facilities, as appropriate. The amended Exhibit VI will be
incorporated as part of this Contract.
b. The Operating Board may approve the allocation of certain costs to the New
Transmission Cost Pool consistent with Section IV.C.1.b above. In addition, the
Operating Board may approve the allocation of any portion of a New
Transmission Facility project that benefits only a subset of Wholesale Customers
or an individual Wholesale Customer to a subregional cost pool or the individual
Wholesale Customer. Seattle will amend the relevant lists of Regional or
Subregional Facilities in Exhibits VI or VII, as appropriate, to document any
portion of a project or costs that are allocated by the Operating Board under this
subsection IV.C.3.b. The amended Exhibits VI or VII will be incorporated as part
of this Contract.
c. The Operating Board shall determine whether the infrastructure costs of New
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 48
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Transmission Facilities shall be recovered through FCs or new transmission rates.
d. The Operating Board may allocate the reasonable expenses of the Operating
Board to this cost pool.
4. Operating Board Review. Prior to commencing in the design and construction of
facilities eligible for inclusion in the New Supply or New Transmission Cost Pools,
Seattle will review the purpose, timing, and need for said new supplies with the
Operating Board. The Operating Board will have 90 days to provide Seattle with written
comments on the proposed new supply or transmission development along with its
recommendation on whether or not Seattle should proceed with the proposed plan.
Nothing in this provision shall be interpreted to prevent Seattle from engaging in
preliminary design efforts necessary to determine the feasibility of, or costs associated
with, a particular project.
5. Subregional Cost Pools. Certain Wholesale Customers are served, in part, by subregional
transmission facilities that only benefit those Wholesale Customers in the specific
subregions. If Water Utility is served by subregional transmission facilities as described
in Exhibit I, Water Utility is subject to the relevant provisions of this Section IV.C.5. If
Water Utility is not served by subregional transmission facilities, this provision does not
apply. The following subregional cost pools shall be accounted for as follows:
a. Eastside, Southwest and Renton Subregional Cost Pools. A rate for each
subregion shall be charged to the appropriate Wholesale Customers who are
served by the respective subregional facilities to recover the full costs, as defined
by this Contract, of owning, constructing, operating, maintaining, repairing,
renewing and replacing and supporting the Eastside, Southwest or Renton
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 49
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Subregional Facilities, respectively, which are assigned to the respective
subregional cost pools. Seattle may amend the list of Subregional Facilities in
Exhibit VII, if necessary, to add or delete Subregional Facilities. The amended
Exhibit VII will be incorporated as part of this Contract.
b. The Operating Board may approve the allocation of other costs that benefit the
specific Wholesale Customers served by the Eastside, Southwest or Renton
Subregional Cost Pools, as appropriate.
6. Renton New Supply Cost Pool. The Renton New Supply Cost Pool shall be accounted
for as follows:
The full costs of owning, constructing, operating, maintaining, repairing, renewing and
replacing and supporting the New Supply Facilities developed after January 1, 2012,
including the costs of the Regional Water Conservation Program beginning January 1,
2012, shall be included in the Renton New Supply Cost Pool.
7. Creation of Additional Cost Pools. Seattle, in its discretion, may create additional cost
pools, including its allocation by customer or customer class, to provide equity and
flexibility in payment arrangements and the allocation of costs as the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System expands to include new infrastructure, operations, and customers
or responds to changed circumstances such as new regulatory requirements. The
Operating Board may review and recommend revisions to the definition of the additional
cost pool, and how it will be accounted for or allocated by customer or customer class.
The Operating Board may approve the allocation of costs, or portion thereof, between a
newly created additional cost pool and an existing cost pool if the costs to be allocated
satisfy the criteria for allocation to the existing cost pool. Seattle and Water Utility will
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 50
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
revise the Contract by letter agreement for the limited purposes of documenting the
creation and allocation of an additional cost pool under this Section IV.C.7.
8. Approval of Cost Allocation Method. The Operating Board shall use its best efforts to
determine and approve a cost allocation method for infrastructure projects and related
capital costs within the Seattle Regional Water Supply System prior to the project
obtaining construction approval from the Seattle City Council. Failure of the Operating
Board to approve a cost allocation method, however, shall not hinder Seattle from
approving such projects in order to assure Seattle’s fulfillment of its obligations under
this Contract.
IV.D. Allocation of Costs and Revenues into Cost Pools
1. Accounting. Seattle shall maintain and use a cost accounting system consistent with the
provisions of this Contract and the GASB standards, as amended from time to time,
consistently applied in developing the financial information for determining the costs of
acquisition or ownership, construction, repair, renewal, replacement, upgrade, expansion,
maintenance and operation of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Seattle’s
compliance with GASB standards will take precedence over any conflicting accounting
provisions under this Contract.
a. Asset Accounts. An asset account shall be maintained for each facility and within
that account, Seattle shall record the original cost of that facility, plus betterments,
and less retirements.
b. Depreciation. Facilities shall be depreciated according to industry-standard water
system asset lives and a record of life-to-date depreciation shall be maintained for
each facility. No depreciation shall be recorded in the first calendar year of
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 51
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
operation of a facility. A full year’s depreciation shall be recorded in every
subsequent year.
c. Net Book Value. The Net Book Value of any facility shall be its original cost,
plus betterments, and less retirements as recorded in its facility asset account, less
life-to-date depreciation.
2. Infrastructure Costs. Each cost pool shall include the infrastructure costs for the facilities
assigned to each cost pool as more particularly listed in Exhibits VI and VII (Regional
Facilities and Subregional Facilities, respectively) and recognized on a utility or cash
basis depending upon the facility and the cost pool as set forth below.
a. Cost Basis. Seattle shall determine one of the following bases to recognize the
infrastructure costs for ratemaking purposes and use it consistently throughout the
life of the facility.
i. Utility Basis. Seattle shall use the Utility Basis to recognize the infrastructure
costs for all Existing Regional and Subregional Facilities, as well as their
replacements and betterments or portions thereof. Seattle shall also use the
Utility Basis for New Supply and New Transmission Facilities. Under the
Utility Basis, the infrastructure cost for a facility in any year shall be the sum
of (i) the annual depreciation expense recorded for that facility and (ii) the
product of the Net Book Value of that facility and the Rate of Return on
Investment of that facility.
(a) Seattle, in its discretion, may consider interest costs as current
infrastructure costs during the construction of a facility. However, any
such interest costs must be considered contributions in aid of
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 52
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
construction, and not included in the Net Book Value of the facility
for purposes of recognizing infrastructure costs under the Utility Basis
in future years.
(b) For ratemaking purposes and with the approval of the Operating
Board, assets may be depreciated over a different time frame than that
used by Seattle for financial reporting purposes in preparation of its
audited Financial Statements.
ii. Cash Basis. Seattle, with the approval of the Operating Board, may use the
Cash Basis to recognize infrastructure costs for any Regional or Subregional
Facilities or a portion thereof. Under the Cash Basis, the infrastructure cost
for a facility in any year shall be the actual cash expenditure made by Seattle
in that year for either the payment of construction costs or actual principal
and interest costs on debt issued to finance its construction. In the event that
the depreciation lifetime of the facility listed in the asset account is less than
the term of the debt issued to finance all or a portion of the facility, Seattle
will select debt maturities such that the construction cost of the facility will
be fully amortized under the Cash Basis at the end of its depreciation lifetime.
b. Infrastructure Adder. The parties agree the Infrastructure Adder provides a
reasonable way to recover an allowance for 1) the regional portion of
infrastructure costs of Mixed-use Assets; 2) the regional portion of mixed-use
unrestricted cash assets; and 3) the equity or higher opportunity cost of cash
financing Regional Facilities or the regional portion of Mixed-use Assets.
c. Facilities Charges.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 53
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
i. Establishing Facilities Charges. If the Operating Board determines to recover
infrastructure costs for certain New Supply or New Transmission Facilities
through FCs, then Seattle will establish FCs as follows:
(a) ERU Charge. At the time the designated New Supply or New
Transmission Facilities are put into service, Seattle shall establish a
charge per one Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU Charge) for the
Facility, or Facilities as the case may be, pursuant to the
methodology in Exhibit V, which may include adjusting existing
ERU Charges, if any, to include the new ERU Charges being
established.
(b) ERUs.
(i) ERU Definition. Seattle, in its discretion, shall set, or amend
from time to time, the capacity of one ERU to reflect the typical
consumption of a single-family residence based on appropriate
information consistent with accepted industry standards. The
Operating Board may review and recommend revisions to Seattle’s
ERU definition. The then current ERU definition will be used in the
methodology in Exhibit V to establish an ERU Charge.
(ii) ERU Factor. Seattle shall use the table of ERU Factors set forth
in Exhibit V, which assigns a multiplier to each retail meter
connection size. Seattle may propose, and the Operating Board may
approve, adjustments to the table of ERU Factors. In the event the
Operating Board approves an adjustment to the ERU Factors, the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 54
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
parties will amend Section B of Exhibit V by letter agreement for
the limited purposes of documenting adjustments to the ERU
Factors.
(c) Facilities Charges. Seattle shall adopt Facilities Charges for each
meter connection size based on the then current ERU Charge
multiplied by the ERU Factor.
ii. Imposition and Payment of Facilities Charges. Seattle shall collect and
Water Utility shall pay FCs based on the following:
(a) Water Utility’s Retail Connections. Until such time as Seattle
develops another basis, Water Utility shall track the number and
size of each retail meter installed by Water Utility during each
month and pay the appropriate Facilities Charges, taking into
account the size of each meter, within 30 days of the end of the
next month, unless Water Utility has an FC Allowance balance
pursuant to Section IV.D.2.c.iii below.
(b) Seattle shall pay FCs on the same basis.
(c) If Water Utility has an FC Allowance as listed in Section 2 of
Exhibit I, the FC Allowance balance will be reduced by an amount
equal to the aggregate of the ERU Factors for each meter added by
Water Utility during the previous month, and such reduction of the
FC Allowance balance shall be in lieu of payment of FCs until the
FC Allowance is zero.
(d) Seattle will allocate FC revenues to offset infrastructure costs in
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 55
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
the New Supply or New Transmission Cost Pools, respectively,
based on which cost pool the Regional Facility whose
infrastructure costs are being recovered through FCs is assigned.
Seattle and Water Utility agree that FC revenues are the sole
property of Seattle.
iii. FC Allowance for Supplies. If Water Utility operates Independent
Supplies or Purchased Supplies as listed in Exhibit I, Seattle shall establish
a growth allowance (“FC Allowance”) based on the amount of additional
ERUs the Independent Supply or Purchased Supply is sufficient to serve
within Water Utility's retail distribution service area as specifically
described in Section 2 of Exhibit I as of the effective date of this Contract.
The FC Allowance shall be a credit against the imposition of FCs until the
FC Allowance reaches zero, then Water Utility shall pay FCs in
accordance with Section IV.D.2.c.ii above.
(a) Increase in FC Allowance. If Water Utility develops new
Independent Supplies, makes improvements to an existing
Independent Supply, or acquires new Purchased Supplies that
increases the average annual production listed in Section 2 and/or
Section 3 of Exhibit 1, the FC Allowance shall be adjusted as
follows. If the new or improved Independent Supply or Purchased
Supply produces at least one-third of its average annual production
during the period between mid-May and mid-September, a trial
period ("Trial Period") for the new or improved Independent
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 56
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Supply or Purchased Supply shall commence on January 1st of the
calendar year following the year in which the new or improved
Independent Supply or Purchased Supply was placed into
production. The Trial Period shall extend for three calendar years.
At the conclusion of the Trial Period, the FC Allowance shall be
increased by the additional number of ERUs, using the then
current ERU definition, served by the average annual production
of the new or improved Independent Supply or Purchased Supply
during the Trial Period. The parties will amend Exhibit I by letter
agreement to document the adjusted FC Allowance and the
average annual production of the new or improved Independent
Supply or Purchased Supply.
(b) Decrease in FC Allowance. In the event that the average annual
production of an Independent Supply or Purchased Supply, or of all
Independent or Purchased Supplies in aggregate, is lower than the
average annual production as listed and under the conditions
provided in Section II or Section III of Exhibit 1, the outstanding
FC Allowance shall be reduced by the number of ERUs, at the then
current ERU definition, that could be served, on an annual basis, by
a supply of the same size as the reduction in average annual
production of the Independent Supplies or Purchased Supplies. In
the event that this adjustment results in a negative FC Allowance,
Water Utility shall pay Seattle an amount equal to the then-current
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 57
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
ERU Charge multiplied by the (negative) FC Allowance multiplied
by minus one. The FC Allowance shall be zero upon full payment
or commencement of payments under a payment agreement
pursuant to Section VII.A.2.
iv. Record-Keeping.
(a) Monthly Report. Water Utility shall provide Seattle with a
monthly report, in a form acceptable to Seattle, along with its
monthly payment of FCs, showing the number of retail
connections by size that Water Utility installed in the previous
month.
(b) Annual Report. Water Utility shall provide Seattle with an annual
report by January 31st of each year for the previous year, in a form
acceptable to Seattle, showing the total number of its retail
connections by size as of December 31 of each year.
(c) Seattle Annual Report on ERUs. Seattle shall prepare and
distribute a report, no later than March 31st of each year, showing
the ERUs for the Seattle Retail Distribution System and each
Wholesale Customer for the previous year and each year since the
original effective date of this Contract.
3. O&M Costs. The parties mutually agree to handle the O&M Costs for each cost pool as
follows:
a. Annual O&M Costs. For each of the Existing Regional System, New Supply and
New Transmission Cost Pools, the Annual O&M Costs shall consist of the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 58
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
relevant Index O&M Costs times the Mixed-Use Multiplier, plus any Non-index
O&M Costs in that year, if any.
i. Index O&M Costs. The Index O&M Costs are the O&M Costs for the
regional O&M Cost categories for each cost pool as more particularly
described in Exhibit VIII and are intended to reflect the O&M Costs for
Regional Facilities and regional-only programs and support functions.
Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board, may amend the list of
Index O&M Cost categories in Exhibit VIII, if necessary, when a Regional
Facility is added to or deleted from Exhibit VI or a regional-only program
or support function is established or discontinued. The amended Exhibit
VIII will be incorporated as part of this Contract.
ii. Mixed-use Multipliers. The parties agree to use an initial Mixed-use
Multiplier of 2.001, which, as applied above, results in an allowance for
the portion of Mixed-use O&M Costs that support the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System. The initial Mixed-use Multiplier established in
this Contract, and any adjusted Mixed-use Multiplier, shall be consistent
with the Ratemaking Principles in Section IV.A of this Contract and will
be subject to periodic adjustment and review as provided in subsection
(a) and (b) below and Section IV.H.1.a.
(a) The Mixed-Use Multiplier shall be adjusted every five years as a
part of the Wholesale Statements, following the procedure below.
(i) Categorize the prior three years’ O&M Costs of the Seattle
Water Enterprise Fund, net of debt service and taxes on water
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 59
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
sales, into the following: Index O&M Costs, Non-index O&M
Costs, Mixed-use O&M Costs, and the remainder, which is
assigned as Seattle’s retail costs.
(ii) Divide the Index O&M Cost by the sum of the Index O&M
Cost and the retail cost. This calculation produces a percentage.
(iii) Apply the percentage produced in (ii) to the Mixed-use
O&M Costs. The result is the portion of the Mixed-use O&M
that will be recovered by the Mixed-use Multiplier.
(iv) To calculate the Mixed-use Multiplier, add the result from
(iii) to the Index O&M Cost and divide that sum by the Index
O&M Cost.
(b) Seattle, in its discretion, may adjust the Mixed-use Multiplier
from time to time when 1) it determines that the allowance
produced by the then current Mixed-use Multiplier should not
change in proportion to a change in the Index O&M Costs; and
2) the change in the Index O&M Costs was due to the addition
or deletion of a Regional Facility resulting in a change of more
than $100,000 of Index O&M Costs. The calculation of the
adjusted Mixed-use Multiplier shall follow the procedure
outlined in Section IV.D.3.a.ii.(a) above, except that the
anticipated change in cost for the added or deleted Regional
Facility shall be added to or subtracted from the Index O&M
Cost, respectively. The calculation of the adjusted Mixed-use
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 60
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Multiplier will be documented in the Wholesale Statements
described in Section IV.H.
iii. Non-index O&M Costs. Seattle, in its discretion, may add certain regional
O&M Costs that are unique or nonrecurring to the Annual O&M Cost in
any year(s), as appropriate. For Non-Index O&M Costs larger than 1% of
the annual Index O&M Costs, the Operating Board may elect to amortize
the costs over a timeframe of the Board's choosing, not to exceed ten years.
The annual amortization shall be included in the applicable cost pool, as
well as the product of the unamortized cost and Seattle's Cash Pool Rate..
b. Subregional O&M Costs. For each of the Subregional Cost Pools, the Annual
O&M Costs shall consist of the actual O&M Costs for the respective Subregional
Facilities assigned to each Subregional Cost Pool, including any net disposition
costs for any of the Subregional Facilities in that cost pool, if any; together with
any additional O&M Costs for the Subregional Facilities approved by Operating
Board.
c. Renton New Supply O&M Costs. For the Renton New Supply Cost Pool, the
Annual O&M Costs shall be the same as the Annual O&M Costs in the New
Supply Cost Pool.
d. Disposition Costs. The costs of disposing of Regional or Subregional Facilities
shall be included in the cost pool to which the Regional or Subregional Facilities
are assigned. In the case of Regional Facilities, the net disposition costs will be
added as a Non-index O&M Cost. Net disposition costs shall be calculated as
follows:
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 61
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
i. Disposition Under the Utility Basis. The Net Book Value of the facility,
less any sales, salvage, or other revenues derived from the disposition of
that facility. If an alternate life is being used for ratemaking purposes as
compared to Seattle's financial reporting and Financial Statement
purposes, the Net Book Value refers to the remaining asset value under
the alternate life.
ii. Disposition Under the Cash Basis. The value of principal of unpaid
maturities of debt used to finance the construction cost of the facility, less
any sales, salvage or other revenues derived from the disposition of that
facility.
iii. Certain Large Net Disposition Costs. For net disposition costs larger than
1% of the annual Index O&M Costs, the Operating Board may elect to
amortize the net disposition costs over the remaining life of the asset(s),
or another timeframe of the Board's choosing not to exceed ten years. The
annual amortization shall be included in the applicable cost pool, as well
as the product of the unamortized net disposition cost and Seattle's Cash
Pool Rate.
IV.E Allocation of Cost Pools by Customer or Customer Class.
The costs and revenues in the cost pools shall be allocated within the pools as follows:
1. Allocation of Existing Regional System Cost Pool. The total cost of the Existing
Regional System Cost Pool shall be allocated to customer classes as follows:
a. Block Purchase Customer Class. The portion of costs in the Existing Regional
System Cost Pool allocated to holders of Block Purchase Contracts shall be
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 62
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
determined pursuant to those contracts, if any.
b. Other wholesale customers. The portion of costs in the Existing Regional System
Cost Pool or Existing Supply and Existing Transmission Cost Pools, depending
how they are named in the Block Contracts, allocated to holders of other types of
wholesale water supply contracts with Seattle shall be determined pursuant to
those contracts, if any.
c. Full and Partial Requirements Customer Class. The holders of Full and Partial
Requirements Contracts and the Seattle Retail Distribution System shall be
allocated the remaining costs in the Existing Regional System Cost Pool after the
allocations in Sections IV.E.1.a and b above.
2. Allocation of New Supply Cost Pool. The total costs of the New Supply Cost Pool shall
be allocated as follows:
a. Block Purchase Customer Class. The portion of costs in the New Supply Cost
Pool allocated to holders of Block Purchase Contracts shall be determined
pursuant to those contracts, if any.
b. Other wholesale customers. The portion of costs in the New Supply Cost Pool
allocated to holders of other types of wholesale water supply contracts with Seattle
shall be determined pursuant to those contracts, if any.
c. Full and Partial Requirements Customer Class. The holders of Full and Partial
Requirements Contracts, except for Renton, and the Seattle Retail Distribution
System shall be allocated the remaining costs in the New Supply Cost Pool after
the allocations to Block Purchase Customers or other wholesale customers, if any,
pursuant to Sections IV.E.2.a and b above; and after deducting an equivalent
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 63
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
amount of costs that are allocated to Renton under the Renton New Supply Cost
Pool pursuant to Section IV.E.5 below.
3. Allocation of New Transmission Cost Pool. The costs allocated to the New Transmission
Cost Pool shall be allocated as follows:
a. Block Purchase Customer Class. The portion of costs in the New Transmission
Cost Pool allocated to holders of Block Purchase Contracts shall be determined
pursuant to those contracts, if any.
b. Other wholesale customers. The portion of costs in the New Transmission Cost
Pool allocated to holders of other types of wholesale water supply contracts with
Seattle shall be determined pursuant to those contracts, if any.
c. Full and Partial Requirements Customer Class. The holders of Full and Partial
Requirements Contracts and the Seattle Retail Distribution System shall be
allocated the remaining costs in the New Transmission Cost Pool after allocations
to Block Purchase Customers or other wholesale customers, if any, pursuant to
Section IV.E.3.a and b above.
4. Allocation of Eastside, Southwest and Renton Subregion Cost Pools. All costs in the
Eastside, Southwest and Renton Subregional Cost Pools shall be allocated to the
Wholesale Customers served by the respective Subregional Facilities according to
Exhibit VII.
5. Allocation of the Renton New Supply Cost Pool. A portion of the costs in the Renton
New Supply Cost Pool shall be allocated as follows:
a. Block Purchase Customer Class and other wholesale customers. The holders of
Block Purchase Contracts or other wholesale customers shall not be allocated any
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 64
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
costs from the Renton New Supply Cost Pool.
b. Full and Partial Requirements Customers. Except for Renton, the holders of Full
and Partial Requirements Contracts and the Seattle Retail Distribution System
shall not be allocated any costs from the Renton New Supply Cost Pool.
c. Renton. Renton shall be allocated 6.8% of the remaining costs in the Renton New
Supply Cost Pool after deducting an amount equivalent to the amount of costs
from the New Supply Cost Pool allocated to the Block Purchase Customer Class
or other wholesale customers, if any, pursuant to Section IV.E.2.a and b above.
Seattle will recover the costs allocated to Renton from the Renton New Supply
Cost Pool by a block payment paid in 12 equal installments in lieu of paying new
supply rates or Facilities Charges (FCs) from the New Supply Cost Pool.
i. Seattle may update the percentage share of the costs in this cost pool
allocated to Renton if Renton acquires additional retail distribution service
area pursuant to Section II.B.2, or on January 1, 2022 and every 5 years
thereafter during the term of this Contract. The basis for any adjustments
to the percentage allocation will be based on the percentage of average
annual flows of Renton’s retail customers over the 5 prior years as
compared to the average annual flows of all retail customers of the
Wholesale Customers and the Seattle Regional Distribution System over
the same 5 years.
6. Allocation of Additional Cost Pools. At the time an additional cost pool is created by
Seattle pursuant to Section IV.C.7, the additional cost pool will be allocated by customer
or customer class. The parties will enter into a letter agreement for the limited purposes
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 65
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
of documenting the allocation of an additional cost pool.
IV.F. Elective Services
1. Elective Services. Seattle may provide certain elective services that are in addition to the
services provided under this Contract to Water Utility upon request by Water Utility.
Such services shall be negotiated and contracted for separately between Water Utility and
Seattle or provided at then current standard charges, if applicable. Elective services may
include:
a. Transmission Wheeling. Seattle, at its sole discretion, may provide Water Utility
access to excess transmission capacity, if any, for a fee and under any conditions
it deems reasonable to protect the Seattle Regional Water Supply System for
purposes of wheeling compatible water to or from Water Utility through the
Seattle Regional Water Supply System. The Operating Board may review and
recommend revisions to any policies or criteria Seattle may use to consider a
request for wheeling services from a Wholesale Customer.
b. Water Quality. So long as Seattle owns and operates a water quality lab, Water
Utility may request the services of that lab based on its published rates for testing
of samples for water quality monitoring that Water Utility performs.
IV.G. Rate Setting, Adjustments and Special Charges
1. Wholesale Rate Setting. Seattle, in its sole discretion, shall determine the structure of FCs
and wholesale water rates, except that the FCs or wholesale rates may not, without
approval of the Operating Board, be set to collect more than the projected costs included
in the cost pools as described in this Section IV.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 66
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
2. Retail Rate Setting. Each party to this Contract shall have sole authority for
establishing retail rates, connection charges and other fees and charges within its
respective jurisdiction, including the manner of passing through or incorporating any
wholesale rates and charges due under this Contract.
3. Wholesale Rate Adjustment. Seattle may adjust water service rates and FCs from
time to time. Rate adjustments will be effective only within five years of the completion
of a rate study consistent with Section IV.G.4 below and provided that Seattle transmits
its final rate adjustment proposal to the Operating Board and Water Utility for final
review at least 30 days before it transmits it to Seattle City Council for consideration. The
Operating Board may review and recommend revisions to the final rate proposal. Seattle
will provide a written explanation of any recommendations that are not accepted and
forwarded to Seattle City Council.
4. Rate Study and Review Consultant. Seattle shall conduct a rate study in accordance with
accepted industry standards and this Contract. Seattle shall provide Water Utility and the
Operating Board 30 days’ advance written notice of its intent to conduct a rate study and
shall make detailed information and progress reports during the course of the rate study
available to Water Utility, other Wholesale Customers and the Operating Board for review
and comment. Seattle shall select an independent rate consultant to review the rate study,
including an independent review of the allocation of costs and revenues between cost
pools. The Operating Board may review and recommend revisions to the scope of work
for the rate consultant. Seattle shall cause a final rate consultant report to be made available
to Water Utility and the Operating Board not less than 30 days before Seattle formally
transmits any resulting rate adjustment proposal to the Operating Board. Unless otherwise
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 67
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
approved by the Operating Board, Seattle shall conduct a cost-of-service rate study no
less frequently than once every five years.
5. Special Charges.
a. Demand Charge.
i. Seattle, in its discretion, may adopt and implement a demand charge in
accordance with the methodology described in Exhibit III. The demand
charge consists of a calculation of Water Utility’s deficient storage, if any,
and a Storage Deficiency Rate (i.e., dollars per 1000 gallons of deficient
storage) that is based on an equivalent annualized cost of providing the
deficient storage, and which shall be updated with each rate study.
ii. Seattle shall be exempt from the demand charge until such time as
metering devices are installed pursuant to Section III.E.2.
iii. The costs and revenues from implementing the demand charge will be
allocated to the Existing Regional System Cost Pool. The Operating Board
may approve the allocation of these costs and revenues to the New
Transmission Cost Pool in the future to offset other costs that may be
allocated to the New Transmission Cost Pool in the future.
iv. Seattle shall suspend the implementation of demand charges, if any, in the
event of emergencies and unforeseen conditions.
b. Emergency Surcharge. In the event of a drought, catastrophe, or other
extraordinary condition that requires emergency expenditures to maintain
sufficient and safe water supply or transmission capacity, or both, Seattle, through
its City Council, may impose an emergency surcharge on all Wholesale
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 68
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Customers, including Seattle, in order to pay for emergency expenditures or
maintain financial stability of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System, or both
(“Emergency Surcharge”). The Operating Board may review and recommend
revisions to any proposed Emergency Surcharge prior to submission to the Seattle
City Council for consideration. Seattle shall provide a written explanation of any
recommendations that are not accepted and forwarded to City Council. Revenues
from an Emergency Surcharge will be applied to the appropriate cost pool that
relates to the emergency situation giving rise to the Emergency Surcharge. For
the avoidance of doubt, and for example only, an Emergency Surcharge issued
in response to a drought would be applied to offset costs in the Existing Regional
System Cost Pool and an Emergency Surcharge issued to pay for extensive
transmission repair on New Transmission Facilities would offset costs in the
New Transmission Cost Pool. If the emergency is not related to any particular
cost pool, the Operating Board shall make the final determination as to which
cost pool the revenues shall be applied.
c. New Wholesale Customer Charge. Seattle will charge any new customer who
signs a Full or Partial Requirements Contract after the Effective Date of this
Contract and who has not previously contributed to the costs in the New Supply
Cost Pool or the development of New Supply Facilities an appropriate charge for
an equitable share of the New Supply Facilities. This charge may be satisfied by
either paying FCs and new supply rates or arranging a special water supply rate
in lieu of paying FCs. The revenue from this charge will be allocated to offset
costs in the New Supply Cost Pool.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 69
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
6. Transition.
a. Initial Existing Regional System Running Balance Surplus.
As part of the contract transition process, Seattle shall implement a one-time
return of the lesser of the full amount of the Existing Regional System Cost
Pool running balance surplus or $82M to Wholesale Customers in lump sum
payments following completion of the updated contracts (either fully executed
with mutual agreement or amended through the process identified in Section
II.A.4(b)) with all Wholesale Customers. Water Utility will receive payment
for its prorated portion of the amount above based on each Wholesale
Customer’s demand since the balance last crossed zero within 60 days
following the completion of the updated contracts (as defined above), even if
such payments are made before the Effective Date of the Contract.
b. Cost-of-Service Rate Study.
Seattle agrees to begin performing a cost-of-service rate study no later than
three months of the date on which all Wholesale Customer contracts are either
fully executed pursuant to Section II.A.4.a or amended pursuant to Section
II.A.4.b.
c. Rebate Based on Alternate Utility Basis Cost.
As a result of negotiations pursuant to Section II.A.4.a, an Alternate Utility
Basis will be applied as described below to calculate an annual rebate to
Wholesale Customers signing this First Amended and Restated Contract for the
Supply of Water. Water Utility will be eligible for an annual rebate in the form
of a credit on its bill for a portion of the difference between Utility Basis cost
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 70
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
and the Alternate Utility Basis cost (for assets whose cost is calculated on a
Utility Basis) as described below, if the Alternate Utility Basis results in a lower
cost. This comparison will be conducted annually as part of the Wholesale
Statement Review and the Water Utility’s portion will be based on Water
Utility’s percentage of Wholesale Customer demand for each applicable Cost
Pool in that year.
i. Definitions.
The following definitions will be used to calculate the Alternate Utility
Basis cost:
“Alternate Infrastructure Adder” – A certain percentage amount that is
applied as a component of the Rate of Return on Investment to the Net
Book Value of facilities recognized under the Utility Basis, which may be
adjusted pursuant to Section IV.G.6.c.iii below.
“Alternate Mixed-use Assets” – Capitalized facilities or assets that are
shared between or used to support both the Seattle Retail Distribution
System and the Seattle Regional Water Supply System.
"Alternate Rate of Return on Investment" – Alternate Seattle’s Average
Cost of Debt plus the Alternate Infrastructure Adder.
“Alternate Seattle’s Average Cost of Debt” (“Alternate ACOD”) - The
weighted average coupon interest rate on Seattle’s water system debt
outstanding over the course of a calendar year with adjustments to
recognize i) outstanding amortized premium or discount on water system
debt; ii) gains/losses on water system bond refunding's; iii) issuance costs
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 71
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
including third party costs paid by bond proceeds; iv) prepaid insurance
costs; v) net interest expense on debt service reserves; and vi) any other
appropriate ongoing debt costs, e.g. variable rate remarketing, ongoing
credit rating agency monitoring fees, calculated at the end of each calendar
year during the term of this Contract.
ii. Under the Alternate Utility Basis, the infrastructure cost for a facility in
any year shall be the sum of (i) the annual depreciation expense recorded
for that facility and (ii) the product of the Net Book Value of that facility
and the Alternate Rate of Return on Investment of that facility.
a. Seattle, in its discretion, may consider interest costs as current
infrastructure costs during the construction of a facility. However, any
such interest costs must be considered contributions in aid of
construction, and not included in the Net Book Value of the facility
for purposes of recognizing infrastructure costs under the Utility Basis
in future years.
b. For ratemaking purposes and with the approval of the Operating
Board, assets may be depreciated over a different time frame than that
used by Seattle for financial reporting purposes in preparation of its
audited Financial Statements.
iii. Alternate Infrastructure Adder. The parties mutually agree to use an initial
Alternate Infrastructure Adder of 1.40%, which Seattle will apply as a
component of the Rate of Return on Investment, to the Net Book Value of
facilities that are recognized under the Utility Basis. The parties agree the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 72
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Alternate Infrastructure Adder provides a reasonable way to recover an
allowance for 1) the regional portion of infrastructure costs of Mixed-use
Assets; 2) the regional portion of mixed-use unrestricted cash assets; and
3) the equity or higher opportunity cost of cash financing Regional
Facilities or the regional portion of Mixed-use Assets. The parties agree
that Seattle may adjust the Alternate Infrastructure Adder that is applied
to facilities recognized under the Alternate Utility Basis from time to time
as follows:
a. In order to maintain an equitable allocation of costs through the
allowance, Seattle may increase or decrease the then current Alternate
Infrastructure Adder annually by 0.12% for every 1.00% increase or
decrease to Seattle’s Alternative ACOD, or portion thereof, as the case
may be, e.g. if Seattle’s Alternative ACOD increases from 4.08% to
5.08%, the Infrastructure Adder would increase from 1.40% to 1.52%.
b. In the event the Operating Board determines to use the Cash Basis to
recognize costs for a Regional or Subregional Facility, Seattle may
adjust the then current Alternate Infrastructure Adder by multiplying
it by an amount equal to the sum of the then current NBV of Regional

City of Renton
IV.H. Cost Review and Truing Actual Costs and Actual Revenues
1. Wholesale Statement Review. At the end of each fiscal year, Seattle shall cause an
independent review of its statement of actual costs and revenues received allocated to
each cost pool (“Wholesale Statements”). Seattle will select an independent accountant,
which may be Seattle’s independent auditor for its audited financial statements.,
a. Scope of Review. The procedures for the annual review shall be set by the
Operating Board and shall include, at a minimum: (i) a comparison of the actual
costs and revenues received to Seattle’s accounting records, (ii) a comparison of
the procedures used by Seattle to allocate costs and revenues to each cost pool to
those procedures and requirements specified in this Contract, (iii) in years where
the Mixed-use Multiplier is adjusted, the accuracy of the adjustment calculation,
and (iv) identification of any corrective actions necessary. The scope of review
may include additional elements identified by the independent accountant, as
well as procedures at Seattle’s discretion together with any reasonable requests
of the Operating Board.
b. Operating Board and Water Utility Review of Report of Independent Accountant.
Seattle will cause the independent accountant to present a copy of the review
report to the Operating Board and Water Utility.
c. Operating Board and Water Utility Right to Review. The Operating Board, or
Water Utility at its sole expense, may select its own independent accountant to
review the Wholesale Statements including the Mixed-use Multiplier under
separate agreed-upon procedures at their discretion. Subject to Seattle’s
reasonable requests for security and confidentiality procedures and agreement to
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 74
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
the same, an independent accountant retained by Water Utility, may at any time
upon prior reasonable notice to Seattle and in coordination with Seattle’s
reasonable scheduling ability, during normal business hours, review the books,
records and accounts of Seattle to the extent that such books, records and
accounts are directly used in the production of the Wholesale Statements or other
allocations, charges or payments under this Contract. Seattle shall maintain all
such books, records and accounts. Independent accountant’s access shall include
the right to make copies and discuss the books and records with Seattle’s
personnel having knowledge of the facilities, systems, processes and document
contents. Water Utility’s right to review shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Contract for a period of three (3) years. If an inspection or
examination pursuant to this section discloses overpricing or overcharges by
Seattle in excess of one percent (1%) of the appropriate amount due, in addition
to making adjustments for the overcharges, the reasonable actual cost of Water
Utility’s review shall be reimbursed to Water Utility by Seattle, and the costs will
be included in the Existing Regional Cost Pool. Any adjustments which must be
made as a result of any such review shall be reflected in the Wholesale
Statements.
2. Truing Actual Costs and Actual Revenues. Seattle shall reconcile the projected costs and
revenue targets for the various cost pools and the actual expenses and revenues received
during each year of this Contract as follows:
a. Running Balances. For each cost pool, Seattle shall maintain a running balance
of the surplus or deficit of actual rate revenues collected from each class of
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 75
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
customers less actual expenses incurred, except that Seattle shall maintain
separate running balances for FC revenues pursuant to Section IV.H.2.c below.
Each running balance shall earn simple interest at Seattle’s Cash Pool Rate. At
the end of each fiscal year, Seattle shall adjust each balance to reflect the operating
results of that year. The year-end statement of these balances shall be reviewed as
described in Section IV.H.1 above.
b. Running Balance Deficits. Seattle shall design rates to eliminate any deficit in the
cost pool running balances, except as provided herein.
c. Running Balance Surpluses.
i. Running Balance Surplus at True Up.
Annually, after presentation of the Wholesale Statements to the Operating
Board, the Board shall decide the portions of any surplus to be a) returned to
the Wholesale Customers as a credit on their bill in the following year, with
the balance prorated to each Wholesale Customer based on each Wholesale
Customer’s demand since the balance last crossed zero, b) redeemed as a
capital contribution towards specific assets assigned to the applicable Cost
Pool, and/or c) retained for rate smoothing purposes as determined by the
Operating Board based on the review of the most recent rate study following
the process in Section IV.H.2.iii below. The Operating Board may select one
or any combination of these options for implementation. When returned as a
credit on the bill or redeemed as a capital contribution, the surplus balance
shall be reduced by those amounts.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 76
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
ii. Running Balance Surplus at Contract Transition.
The running surplus balance existing as of December 31, 2024 shall be fully
or partially returned as provided in Section IV.G.6, Contract Transition.
iii. Running Balance Surplus at Rate Study.
During each rate study, the Operating Board shall decide the portion of the
surplus, up to an amount not to exceed 30 percent of the annual projected
costs in the relevant cost pool for the first year of the rate study, to retain for
future rate smoothing purposes. Seattle shall design rates to eliminate any
surpluses above this amount in the cost pool running balances.
d. FC Running Balances. Seattle shall maintain separate running balances within
the New Supply and New Transmission Cost Pools, as appropriate, of the
surplus or deficit balances of actual FC revenues received in any year over the
facility’s annual utility or cash basis costs to be recovered through FCs for that
year. Running surplus FC balances shall earn simple interest at Seattle’s Cash
Pool Rate. For any year with a running FC deficit balance, Seattle shall
transfer an amount from the running balance of rate revenues in the New
Supply or New Transmission Cost Pool, as the case may be, to eliminate the
FC deficit balance for that year even if it results in a deficit running balance
in rates. FC surplus balances in any subsequent year shall be transferred back
to the running balance in the New Supply or New Transmission Cost Pools
until the amount transferred to eliminate the prior deficit FC balance is repaid.
Any remaining surplus FC balances, if any, may upon Operating Board
approval, be transferred to the running balances of rate revenues in the New
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 77
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Supply or New Transmission cost pools for rate smoothing purposes.
Otherwise, they shall be retained as a surplus FC balance in an amount up to
two times the Net Book Value of the Regional Facilities whose infrastructure
costs are being recovered by FCs. Any surplus FC balance that exceeds two
times the Net Book Value of those facilities shall be transferred to the running
balance for the New Supply or New Transmission Cost Pools, as appropriate,
(and the FC surplus balance shall be reduced by the amount transferred). This
transfer is permanent and not repaid. ERU Charges are based on Section
IV.D.2.c and shall not be adjusted to reflect surpluses or deficits in FC
balances.
SECTION V. OPERATING BOARD
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Operating Board is to provide advice and direction in certain
areas of limited authority over policy, financial and operational matters as they affect the
Seattle Regional Water Supply System. The representatives of the Operating Board shall,
to the best of their ability, act in the best interests of the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System as a whole, not for the benefit of a group of Wholesale Customers or an individual
Wholesale Customer. Therefore, only Wholesale Customers that have agreed to
automatic extensions of this Contract, committed to purchase their Full or Partial
Requirements as set out on Exhibit I, and agreed to the limitations on purchase reductions
contained in Section II.B.5, are eligible to have their representative voted onto the
Operating Board.
2. Structure and Authority. The Operating Board shall have only the roles and limited
authorities as specifically and explicitly set forth in specific provisions of this Contract.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 78
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
The Operating Board shall have the structure described in Exhibit IV.
3. Review. The parties may review the structure and roles and limited authorities of the
Operating Board as of January 1, 2027 and every five years thereafter to determine its
effectiveness in addressing regional and contractual issues. The review may address the
composition of the Board and its roles and limited authorities as set forth in the Contract
and Exhibit IV. Any Wholesale Customer, including Water Utility, or Seattle may initiate
the review. The initiating party shall provide all Wholesale Customers and Seattle, as the
case may be, with its proposals. Water Utility and Seattle agree to consider each other’s
and any other Wholesale Customer's comments and proposals and to respond in writing
stating its reasons for rejecting any proposals and the reasons for its own counter proposal.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Contract, any changes to the Operating
Board structure shall be made through an Amendment to the Operating Board Bylaws;
provided that any such changes shall be subject to the restrictions and limitations
contained in this Contract.
SECTION VI. PLANNING
VI.A. Reporting of Planning Data
1. By no later than March 1 of each year, Water Utility shall report to Seattle and the
Operating Board the following data for the previous calendar year as follows, except as
otherwise provided in Section VI.A.4 below:
a. The amount of water produced each month from its Independent Supplies, listed
by source.
b. The amount of water purchased each month from any other water utilities, listed
by other utility name and whether Emergency or Purchased Supply.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 79
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
c. The amount of water sold each month to any other water utilities, listed by other
utility name and whether Emergency or Resale Supply.
d. The amount of water wheeled through Water Utility’s distribution system each
month, listed by both utility names that deliver water to and receive water from
Water Utility.
e. The amount of water sold to retail and wholesale customers, by customer class
and by month.
f. The number of accounts billed, by customer class and month.
g. Other data reasonably necessary to track, report and plan for the metrics used for
the regional WUE Goal, upon Seattle’s request.
2. Water Utility shall report other data as may be reasonably requested by Seattle for water
planning purposes or as may be required by amendments to applicable regulations from
time to time, except as otherwise provided in Section VI.A.4 below. This data may
include, but not be limited to:
a. Water Utility’s forecasts of the amount of water to be used by Water Utility from
Alternate Supplies. Forecasts will reflect best judgement of Water Utility and be
consistent with industry standards.
b. Water Utility’s forecasts of annual growth in the number of meters installed by
Water Utility by the size of the meter as necessary for establishing Facility
Charges pursuant to Section IV.D.2.c.
c. Water Utility’s rates and charges, including background information such as rate
studies.
d. Water Utility’s maps, land use and growth projections, and geographical

information system (“GIS”) layers of current and future retail service areas of
Water Utility, provided that Water Utility shall be permitted to withhold
information or records which Water Utility reasonably believes the release of
such information and records presents a security risk associated with Water
Utility’s facilities, infrastructure and operations.
3. Records relevant to water supply and consumption within the possession of Seattle or
Water Utility shall be provided to the other upon reasonable request.
4. Water Utility shall not be required to provide records, including related information or
data, that are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW,
or other applicable federal and state laws.
VI.B. Submittal of Water Utility Water System Plans
Water Utility shall provide a copy of its proposed water system plan, including any amendments,
to Seattle for review and comment before adoption by its legislative body, and a copy of its final
approved water system plan or amendments.
VI.C. Seattle as Water Planning Agency
1. Seattle shall be the lead agency and primary planning authority for the purposes of
fulfilling its obligations to provide for the Full or Partial Water Requirements of Water
Utility, as appropriate.
2. Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board, shall examine and investigate water
supplies suitable and adequate to meet the present and reasonable future needs of Seattle
and the Wholesale Customers.
3. Seattle, in consultation with the Operating Board, shall prepare and adopt a plan for
acquiring new, high quality water supplies in a timely and cost-effective manner. The
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 81
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
plan shall provide for the lands, waters, water rights and easements necessary therefor,
and facilities for retaining, storing and delivering such waters, including dams, reservoirs,
aqueducts and pipelines to convey same throughout the Seattle Regional Water Supply
System. In preparing or adopting the plan, Seattle shall consider as possible alternatives
or additional water supply sources, the acquisition of water from sources controlled or
developed by individual water utilities, legally constituted groups of water utilities or
utilities which are not presently supplied by the Seattle Regional Water Supply System.
Seattle has final responsibility for the plan and for fulfilling the obligations of this
Contract. However, the Operating Board may participate in developing the plan by
proposing goals and objectives for the Seattle Regional Water Supply System, by making
any additional suggestions and by acting in a review capacity. If Water Utility opts out
of an Extension pursuant to Section II.A.3, Seattle shall begin planning for Water Utility
to stop purchasing water from Seattle at the expiration of its Contract Term.
VI.D. Capital Improvement Plan
1. To fulfill the requirements of this Contract, Seattle shall make improvements to the
Seattle Regional Water Supply System based on a Capital Improvement Plan adopted by
the Seattle City Council. The projects and programs in the Capital Improvement Plan will
include those that meet operational, regulatory, or contractual requirements, provide for
growth, improve reliability and resiliency, and are cost-effective. Prior to submission of
the proposed Capital Improvement Plan to the Seattle City Council for approval, Seattle
shall provide the Operating Board a reasonable and meaningful opportunity to review and
recommend revisions to the relevant portions of the proposed Capital Improvement Plan
that affect the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Seattle shall give serious
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 82
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
consideration to the recommendations of the Operating Board. Seattle will transmit the
final adopted Capital Improvement Plan to the Operating Board and Water Utility within
30 days of adoption. Seattle shall provide periodic updates of major projects and
programs affecting the Seattle Regional Water Supply System upon request of the
Operating Board. Seattle shall also review and respond to concerns expressed by the
Operating Board or any Wholesale Customer regarding the scheduling of or delays in
completing projects included in Seattle’s Capital Improvement Plan or questions about
the budgets or actual costs incurred on projects included in Seattle’s Capital Improvement
Plan. Seattle shall, upon request, provide opportunities for the Operating Board, or a
designee of the Operating Board, to participate in options analysis, design review or value
engineering for relevant projects or programs that substantially affect the Seattle Regional
Water Supply System or Wholesale Customers.
2. The Operating Board may approve the allocation to a cost pool in Section IV.C of
reasonable costs for capital improvements that serve or benefit an individual Wholesale
Customer, including Water Utility, that are reasonably necessary to alleviate a
disproportionate adverse impact to the retail distribution system(s) of Water Utility or
another Wholesale Customer, to the extent it is caused by a capital project in the Capital
Improvement Plan for the Seattle Regional Water Supply System. Water Utility, or
another Wholesale Customer may request consideration of this provision, and the
Operating Board will make a determination of whether 1) there is a disproportionate
adverse impact and either (i) such disproportional adverse impact could have been
reasonably avoided through a different project design in the Capital Improvement Plan,
or (ii) the other Wholesale Customers, including the Seattle Retail Distribution System,
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 83
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
receive tangible benefits, directly or indirectly, from the project in the Capital
Improvement Plan; 2) the proportion of capital costs to include, if any; and 3) the cost
pool the costs would be allocated to, if any. Water Utility and Seattle will enter into a
separate agreement consistent with this section if the Operating Board determines this
provision applies to Water Utility and the costs will be allocated to the cost pool
identified by the Operating Board.
SECTION VII. PAYMENT
VII.A. Collection of Money Due City
1. Seattle shall bill Water Utility on a monthly basis for all charges due under this Contract
unless the Contract expressly provides otherwise, in which case Water Utility will submit
payment according to the Contract. Water Utility shall pay all charges within 60 days of
the invoice or billing date or, if another provision is applicable, when due.
2. For those charges that are not monthly commodity charges or Facilities Charges, Water
Utility and Seattle may mutually agree by letter agreement to a reasonable monthly
payment plan and any outstanding balance shall be charged interest at Seattle’s Cash Pool
Rate until paid in full.
VII.B. Penalties for Late Payment
All late payments, and any refund of an amount in dispute that was paid under protest, shall
accrue interest at 1% per month.
VII.C. Billing Disputes
1. Water Utility may dispute the accuracy of any portion of charges billed by Seattle by
notifying Seattle in writing within the 60-day payment period of the specific nature of the
dispute and paying the undisputed portion of the charges. This provision is not intended
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 84
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
to limit Water Utility’s right to dispute billing errors or charges that are not reasonably
discoverable by Water Utility within the 60-day payment period.
2. Seattle shall consider and decide any billing dispute in a reasonable and timely manner.
Any billing disputes that remain after such consideration shall be reconciled pursuant to
the dispute resolution procedures of this Contract.
VII.D. Availability of Records
Upon request with reasonable notice, Water Utility or Seattle shall make any public records that
support the charges or payments under this Contract available to the other party for inspection
and copying during normal business hours.
SECTION VIII. CONTRACT AMENDMENTS
Seattle shall notify Water Utility and all other holders of Full or Partial Requirements Contracts
of any amendments to such contracts within 30 days of the execution of such amendment. Water
Utility shall then have 90 days to decide whether to include such amendment in this Contract by
giving written notice to Seattle of its election to do so. Upon the issuance of such notice, Seattle
shall issue the amendment to Water Utility and the amendment shall be final and binding upon
both parties upon mutual execution.
SECTION IX. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Dispute resolution shall proceed as follows:
IX.A. Operating Board Review
Any dispute regarding this Contract that remains unresolved after good faith negotiations between
Water Utility and Seattle shall be referred to the Operating Board for consideration and
recommendation. Each party shall submit a written statement regarding the dispute to the

City of Renton
Operating Board.
1. If the dispute cannot be resolved in discussions with the Operating Board, then the
Operating Board shall provide written recommendations to each party within 60 days of
receiving the written statements, which shall include any applicable findings or
interpretations of the applicable facts or contract provisions.
2. If either party rejects the written recommendation of the Operating Board, that party shall,
within 10 days, notify the other party in writing of its reasons.
IX.B. Seattle Mayor Review
If the dispute remains unresolved, the written statements of the parties, the recommendations of
the Operating Board, if applicable, and the written reasons for either party’s rejection of those
recommendations shall then be submitted to the Seattle Mayor for review.
1. Within 60 days of the submittal of the written materials, the Seattle Mayor shall provide
written recommendations to resolve the dispute.
2. If either party rejects the written recommendation of the Seattle Mayor, that party shall,
within 10 days, notify the other party in writing of its reasons.
IX.C. Mediation
Within 10 days of receiving the written rejection of the Seattle Mayor’s recommendations by one
or both parties, each party shall designate in writing not more than 5 candidates it proposes to act
as an impartial mediator.
1. If the parties cannot agree on one of the mediators from the combined list within 5 days,
the Operating Board shall, within an additional 5 days, select one of the mediators from
either list to serve as mediator.
2. Upon selection of the mediator, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 86
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
dispute within 30 days, or other mutually agreed timeframe, with the assistance of the
mediator.
IX.D. Resort to Litigation or Arbitration
If mediation fails to resolve the dispute within 30 days, or the other mutually agreed timeframe,
of selection of the mediator, the parties may thereafter seek redress in court subject to Section
X.G. below. Alternatively, the parties may mutually agree to resolve any disputes through
arbitration using a single arbitrator acceptable to parties. Nothing in this provision shall be
construed to require arbitration without the mutual agreement of the parties.
IX.E. Efficiency of Review
In order to facilitate a more efficient review of disputes under this Section, the parties may
agree to skip the step in Section IX.A above in order to avoid a redundant act. The parties may
also mutually agree to skip the step in Section IX.C, if it is in the best interests of the parties
in resolving the dispute.
SECTION X. MISCELLANEOUS
X.A. Notification
1. Whenever written notice is required by this Contract, that notice shall be given to the
following representatives, or their designees, by email with receipt requested, actual

Whenever it is provided in this Contract that the prior written consent or approval of either party
is required as a condition precedent to any actions, in each such instance said consent or approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in each such instance where prior consent is sought,
failure of the party to respond in writing within 90 days of the request shall be deemed as that
party's consent or approval unless expressly stated herein. This provision does not apply to

condition.
X.I. Force Majeure
The time periods for the parties’ performance under any provisions of this Contract shall be
extended for a reasonable period of time during which a party’s performance is prevented, in

AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 101
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
EXHIBIT III
DEMAND CHARGE METHODOLOGY
In order to meet the conditions of service in Section III and Exhibit II of the Contract, each Wholesale
Customers has to construct adequate storage volume within their individual retail distribution system
to avoid excessive peak flow withdrawals at the Service Connection and potential adverse impacts
to the Seattle Regional Water Supply System or other Wholesale Customers.
When Seattle has determined to implement demand charges for any period, Water Utility shall be
subject to a demand charge if its average peak hourly flow rate from its 10 highest daily flow days
exceeds its average daily flow rate from the same 10 days by more than 30% as more particularly
described below.
The demand charge and method of application shall be as follows:
1. At Water Utility’s cost, Seattle shall install metering devices that record hourly water
deliveries at Service Connections. All other costs Seattle incurs to implement demand
charges shall be allocated to the Existing Regional System Cost Pool; or New
Transmission Cost Pool, upon approval by the Operating Board.
2. There shall be no requirement for Seattle to install demand-metering equipment or
monitor water deliveries at all Service Connections for the purposes of implementing
demand charges. Seattle, in its discretion, may choose to monitor water deliveries at all
Service Connections, or the Service Connections of one or more Wholesale Customers
based on considerations such as hydraulic capacity or other operational constraints in the
Seattle Regional Water Supply System may be occurring.
3. When calculating Water Utility’s deficient storage and whether demand charges apply:
a. Seattle may consider Service Connections to Water Utility on the same pipeline
segment, or Service Connections that are on the same pipeline segment and
subject to a joint operating agreement between Water Utility and another
Wholesale Customer, as 1 Service Connection; and
b. A “Day” commences at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 9:00 a.m. the following calendar
day.
c. The “Monitoring Period” will generally consist of the summer months of June,
July, and August. However, if peak flow rates create adverse hydraulic or other
operating conditions at other times, Seattle, in consultation with the Operating
Board, may establish a different Monitoring Period.
4. For each Service Connection, Seattle will determine the ten Days within the Monitoring
Period with the highest daily volume of water delivered.

5. For each of those ten Days, Seattle will determine the “Demand Factor” for each Service
Connection by dividing the peak hourly flow rate by the average flow rate for the same
Day expressed in gallons per hour.
6. Seattle will average: a) the Demand Factors for the ten Days to get an “Average Demand
Factor” and b) the daily volume for the same ten Days to get an “Average Daily Quantity”
of water in gallons for each Service Connection.
7. If Water Utility’s Average Demand Factor exceeds 1.30 at any Service Connection(s),
Water Utility will be subject to a demand charge.
8. If Water Utility is subject to a demand charge, Seattle will determine Water Utility’s
deficient storage volume at each Service Connection where the Average Demand Factor
exceeds 1.3 using the following formula: S = (F-1) Q: where S = deficient storage volume
in gallons, F = Average Demand Factor and Q = Average Daily Quantity.
9. Seattle shall establish a Storage Deficiency Rate each rate study that is based on Seattle’s
most recent actual cost to construct a reservoir, inflated to the most recent year that the
Engineering News Record “ENR” index or equivalent inflation data is available. The
Storage Deficiency Rate is the flat debt service payment required to finance the storage
facility over 30 years at Seattle’s Average Cost of Debt at the time of each rate study,
prorated for 1,000 gallons of storage.
Example:
Annual debt service cost of new reservoir at Average Cost of Debt
Actual cost of new reservoir in 2012 $ 60,000,000
ENR Index in 2012 100.00
ENR Index in 2019 125.00
Increase in Index 1.25
Cost of new reservoir inflated to 2019 $ 75,000,000
Term of Debt 30 Years
Seattle Average Cost of Debt in 2020 4.15%
Annual Cost $ 4,416,596
Volume of new reservoir 61,000,000 Gallons
Annual Debt Service per 1,000 Gallons $ 72
Storage Deficiency Rate $ 72
10. At each Service Connection subject to the demand charge, the demand charge shall be
calculated as S/1000 times the Storage Deficiency Rate. The total demand charge for
Water Utility shall be the sum of the demand charges for each Service Connection. The
demand charge shall be due by March 31 the following calendar year, or Water Utility
may request a payment agreement pursuant to Section VII of the Contract.

11. Peak flows caused by emergencies in the Seattle Regional Water Supply System or
Water Utility's retail distribution system during any Monitoring Period will be excluded
in determining the demand charge. Peak flows caused by other unusual situations may
also be excluded at Seattle’s sole discretion. Seattle may request documentation of any
emergency or other situation from Water Utility to support a determination to exclude
certain flows from demand charges during a Monitoring Period.
12. At Seattle sole discretion, Seattle may disallow daily flow rates which differ

OPERATING BOARD STRUCTURE
1. Structure. The Operating Board (or “Board”) shall be structured as follows:
a. The Board shall consist of seven (7) members, composed of three members representing
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), three members representing Seattle’s Wholesale Customers
selected as described below, and one independent party selected as set forth below to
be a tie-breaker as needed. Board members shall, to the best of their ability, act in the best
interests of the Seattle Regional Water Supply System as a whole, not the interest of a group
of utilities or an individual utility.
b. The term of each Board position shall commence on January 1 and shall be for four (4)
years. Terms of each Board position shall be staggered such that no more than two
positions are renewed in any single year. Except for SPU members, Board members
may serve not more than three successive terms.
c. Three Board members representing the Wholesale Customers will be selected from the
holders of the First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water, mutually
agreed to pursuant to Section II.A.4.a. Wholesale Customers will be sorted into three
categories based on utility size. The selected categories will be small, medium, and large
utilities, which will be made up from approximately equal numbers of holders of Full
and Partial Requirements Contracts. Each category of utility may elect, by majority vote
(one vote per utility) its representative to the Operating Board. The Board will be
recomposed on January 1, 2012 and every 5 years thereafter. Only Wholesale customers
demonstrating their commitment to the region by agreeing to limits on purchase reductions
contained in Section II.B.5 shall be eligible to be elected as a member of the Operating
Board.
d. The seventh member of the Board shall be a person having expertise in the operations of
regional water supply systems. Such person shall be selected by majority vote of the
other Board members. In the event of a deadlock in selecting the independent
representative, the independent Board member shall be selected by Judicial Arbitration
and Mediation Services Inc., of Seattle, Washington, or its successor. The seventh member
shall not vote on issues coming before the Board unless there is a deadlock in the voting
among the other six Board members. The seventh member may nevertheless express
his or her opinions in Operating Board discussions. Such member shall have no
employment, financial or contractual relationship with Seattle nor any Wholesale
Customer or any other actual or apparent conflict of interest in holding this position.
2. Voting. Except as otherwise provided above, each member of the Board shall have one vote
on all matters coming before the Board. Each Board member may appoint an alternate to
vote in his or her absence. A quorum of four (4) Board members present shall be required
for any vote. Members of the Board may not grant proxies for any vote.
3. Chairperson. The Board shall have a Chairperson who will be selected and have duties as
defined below:
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 105

City of Renton
a. The Chairperson shall be selected at the first regularly scheduled meeting of each new year.
b. All Chairpersons shall be selected by the Board using a nomination and voting process.
c. Nomination for the position of Chairperson shall be taken from Board members. The
Chairperson shall be selected based upon the simple majority vote of Board members.
Should the Board fail to elect a Chairperson at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the
new year, Seattle shall designate one of the SPU members to be the Acting Chairperson
until such time as the Board elects a Chairperson.
d. The Chairperson shall have the responsibility to call meetings, determine the agenda and
preside over meetings. In the absence of the Chairperson, for whatever reason, Seattle shall
designate one of the SPU members to be the Acting Chairperson for that meeting. The
Chairperson shall also act as the spokesperson for the Board and liaison between the
Administrator and the then current Seattle City Council’s Committee that considers matters
related to Seattle Public Utilities.
4. Schedule/Procedures/Bylaws. The Board shall adopt a regular meeting schedule and notify all
Wholesale Customers of the schedule. The Operating Board may adopt its own internal
procedures and Bylaws. The latest edition of Roberts Rules of Order shall, in the absence of
agreement by the Operating Board on procedural matters, govern all meetings and votes of the
Operating Board.
5. Reporting. The Board will provide reports to the Wholesale Customers, SPU and to the
appropriate Seattle City Council Committee, on its decisions and recommendations in a timely
manner.
6. Responsibilities and Authority of the Board. The Operating Board shall have only those powers
and authorities specifically and explicitly established by the clear terms of this Contract.
7. Expenses. The Board shall be authorized to incur reasonable expenses which will be allocated
by the Board to either or both of the New Transmission or New Supply Cost Pools.

FACILITIES CHARGES
A. Methodology to Calculate ERU Charges
The ERU Charge is:
the flat annual debt service payment required to finance the New Supply or New
Transmission Facility for the lesser of (i) the facility life or (ii) the period over
which new demand is projected to fully utilize the facility’s projected supply or
transmission capacity
- divided by -
the average annual number of new ERUs of demand expected in each year.
Seattle’s Average Cost of Debt at the time the facility is put into service shall be
used to determine the flat debt service payment above. In the event that several New Supply
or New Transmission Facilities are put into service simultaneously, the facilities may be
considered together as providing a total new supply or new transmission capacity for a total
construction cost.
Example: A New Supply Facility costing $100 million is built with a projected total capacity
of 100,000 ERUs and a 50-year facility life. Growth of 5,000 ERUs per year is projected
over the next 20 years, so the facility is projected to be supplying its full capacity in 20
years. If this facility were financed over 20 years at Seattle’s Average Cost of Debt of 6%
interest, the flat annual debt service payment would be $8.7 million and the ERU Charge
would be $1,740 (8,700,000/5,000).
At the time a subsequent New Supply or New Transmission Facility is put into service, but the
capacity of a prior New Supply Facility has not yet been fully utilized, an ERU Charge for the
subsequent facility shall be calculated separately according to the formula above, then averaged
with the then-current ERU Charge from the prior facility. This average shall be weighted by the
remaining number of ERUs at the then-current ERU Charge and the number of new ERUs being
added at the new ERU Charge. This weighted average shall be the new ERU Charge, and the
number of ERUs available at that weighted ERU Charge shall be the sum of the remaining ERUs
for the prior facility plus the number of new ERUs for the subsequent facility.
Example: 10 years ago, a $100 million New Supply Facility was constructed that can supply
100,000 ERUs. 50,000 ERUs remain at the ERU Charge of $1,740. This year, we construct
a New Supply Facility costing $70 million and a 50-year facility life, with a projected
capacity of 40,000 ERUs that is projected to be fully utilized in 10 years. The ERU Charge
of the subsequent New Supply Facility alone using the formula above is $2,375. The
weighted average ERU Charge for any of the 90,000 available ERUs is $2,022 (50,000 *
$1,740 + 40,000 * $2,375) / 90,000).

ERU Proving Methodology
The size of the retail water service connection used to serve a retail customer depends upon both
the total demand and the instantaneous flow required by that retail customer. For this reason,
connection size is only a general indicator of the annual demand placed on water supplies by any
particular retail customer.

B. Allocation of Costs in the Eastern Subregional Cost Pool
In each year, the costs of each Eastside Subregional Facility shall be allocated by the segments
identified in Section I.A above based on Peak 7 Day flows through each segment. In the event that
Peak 7 Day flow data is not available, Peak Month flows may be substituted. The annual cost of each
segment is adjusted by the annual utility basis cost of the following initial amounts, amortized over
50 years starting in 1998.
Segment 1: $73,157.01 increase
Segment 2: $1,296,845.17 decrease
Segment 3: $136,782.17 increase
Segment 4: $72,442.13 increase
Seattle shall establish a common rate for each Eastside Subregional segment that recovers the costs
allocated to that segment plus any costs allocated from preceding segments to downstream segments
based on the flow data used. Wholesale Customers served by Eastern Subregional Facilities as may
be identified in Exhibit I will pay the applicable segment rates for every unit of water delivered to
the Service Connection(s), or in Seattle’s case to the retail connection, on the identified segment,
e.g. Service Connections on Segment 3 would pay the rate for Segment 3, which rate would recover
costs allocated from Segments 1, 2 and 3.
Seattle will track running balances and actual costs and actual revenues for each segment within the
Eastside Subregional Cost Pool and shall true up each segment in a manner consistent with Section
IV.H, except that Seattle may adjust the running balances between Segments 3 and 4 for a Wholesale
Customer served by both Segments as follows:
Seattle will track the portion of surplus or deficit balance created by each Wholesale Customer,
including Seattle, in Segment 3 based on the percentage of revenues paid by each. If there is a surplus
balance for Segment 3, Seattle may transfer all or a portion of the surplus created by the Wholesale
Customer served by both Segments to reduce a running deficit balance for Segment 4 and credit
Seattle for a proportionate share of the Segment 3 surplus. If there is a surplus balance for Segment
4, Seattle may transfer all or a portion of the surplus in Segment 4 to reduce the portion of a running
deficit balance in Segment 3 created by the Wholesale Customer served by both Segments and
charge Seattle for a proportionate share of the Segment 3 deficit balance.

The Final Net Stranded Cost, or Final Net Billing Credit, if applicable, will be the payment, or credit,
if applicable, required pursuant to Section II.B.5.c. Water Utility will pay the Final Net Stranded
Cost, or agree to a schedule of payments with equivalent discounted present value, or receive the
Final Net Billing Credit, if applicable, on or before the effective date of the Notice under Section
II.B.5.b.
If Water Utility is reducing its Purchase Commitment and will remain a Wholesale Customer, the
parties may mutually agree to a payment schedule agreement to pay the Final Net Stranded Cost
pursuant to Section VII.A of the Contract.
For rate smoothing or financial performance purposes, Seattle, in consultation with the Operating
Board, may select which cost pool the revenues are applied to and whether or not to delay revenue
recognition to future years.
In the event that Seattle acquires a new wholesale customer or a new block wholesale customer, or
extends the size of the block contract to Cascade Water Alliance or other existing block wholesale

City of Renton
customer, these new regional sales will reduce prior demand reductions that are subject to Stranded
Costs as follows: i) adjustments to prior reductions will be effective for all remaining years of the
Contract, beginning with the first year of the new sales; ii) new customer sales or additional block
sales amounts will be assigned to past Wholesale Customer demand reductions in order of their
effective dates; iii) if the new sales amount is greater than the size of the first-in-time prior demand
reduction, the remainder will be applied to the next-in-time demand reduction, and so on until either
the new sales amount is exhausted or all prior reductions have been reduced to zero. In such cases,
the schedule(s) of Water Utility’s Annual Stranded Costs for remaining years will be reduced
proportionately or entirely as the case may be, and Water Utility will pay the reduced amount from
that year forward or, if it has made a prior payment in excess of its Annual Stranded Costs, it will
receive a credit of equivalent present value.
2. Stranded and Avoided Cost Methodology
A. Annual Regional Stranded Costs and Annual Regional Avoided Costs: Seattle will first
calculate Annual Regional Stranded Costs, and Annual Regional Avoided Costs, if applicable, for
each year beginning with the first year Water Utility’s reduction or termination of its Purchase
Commitment is effective through the last year of the current Contract term using the formula below.
Seattle will use the most up to date and available documented information from its then current Water
System Plan, or annual plans and statements including financial and accounting statements, official
demand forecasts, etc. for all the projections required in the methodology i) as of the date of the
Notice for the Preliminary Net Stranded Costs, or Preliminary Net Billing Credit, if applicable; and
ii) as of 180 days prior to the effective date of the Notice for the Final Net Stranded Costs or Final
Net Billing Credit, if applicable.
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 121
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Annual Regional Stranded Costs for Year X = [DEP + NBV*RORI + FOC] * Share
where:
x DEP - the projected annual depreciation for the Regional Facilities as of the effective
date of the Notice of the reduction or termination of Water Utility’s Purchase
Commitment for year X,
x NBV - the projected Net Book Value of the Regional Facilities as of the effective date
of the Notice of the reduction or termination of Water Utility’s Purchase Commitment
for year X,
x RORI - the Rate of Return on Investment in effect at the time of the calculation
(remains constant for all years),
x FOC - the projected fixed portion of the Annual O&M Costs for year X, calculated
as the Annual O&M Costs for the first year after the Effective Date (“year 1”) (i.e.
Annual O&M Costs in year 1 * 90% , which represents a deduction of an agreed upon
amount for variable operations costs that are reduced in proportion to Water Utility’s
reduction or termination and therefore not included as Stranded Costs in the
methodology), and escalated at 2.5% per year for each of the remaining years’
calculations through year X.
x Share - the amount of Water Utility’s reduction or termination in excess of its
Automatically Allowed Reduction, divided by the projected total Wholesale
Customer demand for year X, multiplied by the total Wholesale Customer share of
revenue requirements for year X (i.e. (Firm yield – block contract demand)/Firm
yield). For this calculation, block demand priced at Wholesale Customer rates shall
be considered Wholesale Customer demand.
Annual Regional Avoided Costs for Year X = [DSN + NOC] * NSS
where:
DSN - The projected annual debt service payment for year X of 30-year debt at the
then current Seattle Average Cost of Debt to finance the full cost of any New Supply
Facility deferred by the reduction or termination, based on the then most current
Seattle Water System Plan,
NOC – The projected operations cost for year X for the SPU New Supply Facility,
escalated at 2.5% per year from the first year through the end of the contract period,
and
NSS - The New Supply Share, defined as the ratio of the Water Utility's reduction in
demand divided by the projected design capacity of the deferred New Supply Facility,
as measured by average daily demand (ADD).
B. Annual Subregional Stranded Costs: If Water Utility is served by Subregional Facilities,
Seattle will calculate Annual Subregional Stranded Costs for each year beginning with the first year
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Page 122
First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
Water Utility’s reduction or termination of its Purchase Commitment is effective through the last
year of the Contract term using the formula below.
Annual Subregional Stranded Costs for Year X = [SRDEP + SRNBV*RORI + SRFOC] *
SRShare
where:
x SRDEP - the projected annual depreciation for the Subregional Facilities for year X
x SRNBV - the projected Net Book Value of the Subregional Facilities for year X,
x RORI - the Rate of Return on Investment in effect at the time of the calculation
(remains constant for all years),
x SRFOC - the projected fixed portion of the Annual O&M Costs for year X, calculated
as the Annual O&M Costs for the first year after the Effective Date (“year 1”) (i.e.
Annual O&M Costs in year 1 * 90% , which represents a deduction of an agreed upon
amount for variable operations costs that are reduced in proportion to Water Utility’s
reduction or termination and therefore not included in the methodology), and
escalated at 2.5% per year for each of the remaining years’ calculations through year
X.
x SRShare - the amount of Water Utility’s reduction or termination divided by the
projected total Subregional demand for year X in the relevant subregion.
C. Totaling the Stranded Costs or Avoided Costs for all years: Seattle will then calculate the
Net Stranded Costs or Net Billing Credit, if applicable, as follows by discounting each year of Annual
Regional Stranded Costs and Annual Regional Avoided Costs (except year 1) and Annual
Subregional Stranded Costs (if any, and except year 1) to its present value and then adding the first
year and each of the discounted remaining years of the Annual Regional Stranded Costs; and
subtracting first year and each of the discounted remaining years of the Annual Avoided Costs, if
applicable; and adding the first year and each of the discounted remaining years of the Annual
Subregional Stranded Costs, if any. If the difference is positive, a total Final Net Stranded Cost
Payment is due from Water Utility and will reflect any applicable offset from Annual Avoided Costs.
If the difference is negative, a total Final Net Billing Credit will be due from Seattle to Water Utility.
Net Stranded Cost (or Net Billing Credit if negative) =
Annual Regional Stranded Cost(1) – Annual Regional Avoided Cost(1) + Annual
Subregional Stranded Cost(1) +
[Annual Regional Stranded Cost (2) – Annual Regional Avoided Cost (2)+ Annual
Subregional Stranded cost (2)]*Discount Factor(2) +
…calculated for each year from 3 to n (see Illustrative Example of Annual Stranded &
Avoided Cost Calculation)… +
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)

First Amended and Restated Contract for the Supply of Water
City of Renton
[Annual Regional Stranded Cost(n) -Annual Regional Avoided Cost(n) + Annual
Stranded Subregional Cost(n), if applicable]*Discount Factor(n)
where:
x Annual Regional Stranded Cost(1) – the Annual Regional Stranded Cost in the first
year the reduction or termination is in effect,
x Annual Regional Avoided Cost(1) – the Annual Avoided Cost in the first year the
reduction or termination is in effect,
x Annual Subregional Stranded Cost(1) – the Annual Subregional Stranded Cost in the
first year the reduction or termination is in effect,
x Annual Regional Stranded Cost(2) - the Annual Regional Stranded Cost in the second
year the reduction or termination is in effect,
x Annual Regional Avoided Cost(2) – the Annual Avoided Cost in the second year the
reduction or termination is in effect,
x Annual Subregional Stranded Cost(2) – the Annual Subregional Stranded Cost in the
second year the reduction or termination is in effect,
x Discount Factor(2) - the factor for discounting costs in the second year by one year,
deemed to be the Annual O&M Cost escalation plus 2.5%.
x Annual Regional Stranded Cost(n) - the Annual Regional Stranded Cost in the last
year of the Contract term, deemed to be the Annual O&M Cost escalation plus 2.5%,
x Annual Regional Avoided Cost(n) - the Avoided Cost in the last year of the Contract
term,
x Annual Subregional Stranded Cost(n) - the Annual Subregional Stranded Cost in the
last year of the Contract term, and
x Discount Factor(n) is the multiplied factor for discounting costs in the last year of the
Contract term back to the first year the reduction is in effect, deemed to be the Annual
O&M Cost escalation plus 2.5% per year, with the calculation including each of the
years of the Contract term.
