Exhibit C— Statement of Public Benefit
The existing utility easement for water, sewer, and storm drainage facilities is proposed to be
released in connection with the relocation of the associated utility lines to the City's right of way.
Relocating the utilities to the right of way will improve the City's access to the facilities for
inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement, and will enhance the long-term management of
essential public infrastructure.
While parce17841300015 (owned by Sweenco, LLC) and parce17841300005 (owned by S. 3rd
Street Professional Building, LLC) may experience temporary service impacts during
construction, the relocation will not result in any long-term interruption,reduction, or
diminishment of utility service to those parcels or to the public. The petitioner will coordinate in
good faith with the affected property owners to schedule any temporary service interruptions at
times intended to minimize disruption to ongoing operations. Upon completion of the work, the
utilities will continue to provide the same level of service as currently exists.
Accordingly, release of the existing easement will not adversely affect the provision of public
utility services and will facilitate orderly development while maintaining and improving access
to critical infrastructure, thereby serving the public health, safety, and welfare.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Bid Award CAG-26-096 PRV Station #1 Rehabilitation Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
STAFF CONTACT: Jeremey Valdez, Water Utility Engineer
EXT.: 7210
. • . . �
The low bid submitted by CR Construction, LLC, in the amount of$541,885.37 is above the engineer's
estimate of $481,553.48 by $60,331.90 or 12.5%. The approved 2026 Capital Improvement Program
budget including the first quarter budget adjustment for this project is $1,357,400.19 (account number
425.455535). Adequate funding is available to award the construction contract.
� • • � •
The bid opening for this project was held on May 20, 2026. Five bids were received and are summarized
below in ascending order:
CR Construction, LLC $541,885.37
Raudenbush Earthworks, LLC $573,975.68
Kar-Vel Construction, Inc. $619,507.20
Western United Civil Group, LLC $667,803.44
NW Cascade, Inc. $674,793.67
The project consists of replacing the existing Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Station No. 1, located at
Taylor Avenue NW and Stevens Avenue NW. As part of a comprehensive condition assessment of the
50 PRV stations within the water distribution system, PRV No. 1 was identified as the highest priority for
replacement. PRV No. 1 was originally constructed in 1983. The station exhibits significant
deficiencies, including corrosion of piping and valves, inadequate safety access and operator
clearance, undersized relief valves, limited vehicular access for maintenance activities, and conflicts
with vehicular traffic. These deficiencies adversely affect the station's operational reliability,
maintainability, and safety, warranting its replacement.
CR Construction, LLC has been registered as a general contractor since March 2012. The firm's owner
and foreman have successfully managed and completed comparable public works pro�fi15f4iese
projects included site grading and utility work for Terminal 5 S Building and Terminal 5 N Building in the
1
Port of Seattle, and the Transit Vehicle Storage Facility in the City of Everett, which included the
construction of a PRV station for the water system.
Determination of responsive bid and responsible bidder
Water Utility staff have reviewed all submitted bids and determined that the bid submitted by CR
Construction, LLC is responsive to the bidding requirements. Staff further determined that CR
Construction, LLC meets the requirements of a responsible bidder as defined in RCW 39.04.350, City
of Renton Policy 250-02, and Section 1-02.14 of the project specifications. References provided by
the bidder were verified, and confirmed the firm's experience, qualifications, and ability to
successfully complete the project. There were no irregularities identified in the low bid, there was
more than one bid received, and sufficient funding is available for contract award.
Evaluation of bid protest by Raudenbush Earthworks, LLC.
The city received a bid protest from Raudenbush Earthworks, LLC, the second-lowest bidder, alleging
that CR Construction, LLC failed to identify the subcontractor responsible for rebar installation.
City staff reviewed the protest and the applicable procurement requirements and determined that the
omission does not render the bid nonresponsive. Pursuant to RCW 39.30.060, submission of a
subcontractor list is not required for public works contracts with an estimated value of less than
$1,000,000. Accordingly, the protest lacks a legal basis and does not affect the responsiveness of CR
Construction, LLC's bid.

ORDINANCE NO.
by such employees. It is expressly agreed and understood that this assumption of potential
liabilityfor actions brought bythe aforementioned persons is limited solelyto claims against
Renton arising by virtue of Franchisee's exercise of the privileges set forth in this Franchise.
The obligations of Franchisee under this section have been mutually negotiated by the
Parties, and Franchisee acknowledges that Renton would not enter into this Franchise
without Franchisee's waiver of immunity. To the extent required to provide this
indemnification and this indemnification only, Franchisee waives its immunity underTitle 51
RCW as provided in RCW 4.24.115 (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for
negligence relative to construction, alteration, improvement, etc.,...).

liability for negligence relative to construction, alteration, improvement, etc.,...), as it exists
or may be amended, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to
persons or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of
Franchisee, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers and/or a contractor of any tier,
or Renton, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, and or the
contractor,the party's liability shall be only to the extent of that party's negligence.

under this section is presented to or filed with Renton, Renton shall promptly attempt to
notify Franchisee in accordance with Section XXV of this Franchise, and Franchisee shall

such matter as it pertains to Franchisee's responsibility to indemnify, defend and hold
54 124 of 154

harmless Renton. In the event any suit or action is started against Renton based upon any
such matter, Renton shall likewise promptly attempt to notify Franchisee, and Franchisee
shall have the privilege, at its election and at its sole cost and expense, to settle and
compromise such suit or action, or defend the same at its sole cost and expense, by
attorneys of its own election, as it pertains to Franchisee's responsibility to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Renton. Franchisee's indemnification obligations do not apply to
the extent that Renton fails to provide attempt to notice in accordance with Section XXV of
this Franchise, and such failure materially prejudices Franchisee or the defense of an
action, claim, cost, damage, death, expense, harm, injury, liability, or loss of any kind.
22.7 Recovery of City Costs: In the event that Renton is required to defend a "suit
or action" and Franchisee refuses to defend and indemnify Renton, as referenced in
subsection 22.2 and Renton is determined to be without fault for the claim or demand giving
rise to such "suit or action," Franchisee shall reimburse Renton for a percentage of Renton's
total defense costs. The percentage of Renton's total defense costs to be reimbursed shall
be a percentage equal to the percentage (if any) of fault attributable to Franchisee for the
claim or demand giving rise to such "suit or action."

termination of this Franchise if the basis for any such claim, demand, suit or action as
