In accordance with Council procedure, bids submitted at the subject bid opening met the two of the
three required criteria:
. There was more than one bid.
. There were no irregularities with the low bid.
However,the low bid was not within the project budget. Therefore staff recommends transferring
$250,000 from unallocated traffic mitigation funds to cover the budget gap. Therefore, with the fund
transfer, staff recommends acceptance of the low bid by DPK, Inc., in the amount of$868,454.32.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the lowest responsive bid submitted by DPK, Inc., in the amount off$868,454.32, for the S. 7th

SUBIECT: S 7th St&Shattuck Ave S Intersection Improvement Project
Federal Aid No.CM-1292(002)TIB Project Number 8-1-302(034)-1
Contract CAG-15-078
The Transportation System5 Division recommends that the 5 7th St&Shattuck Ave S Intersection
Improvement Project contract be awarded to DPK, Inc., 7829 S. 206th St., Kent,WA 98032, in the
amount of$868,454.32.This praject includes a new traffic signal at S 7th St and Shattuck Ave 5,
near the South Renton Park and Ride,improving transit access and transit routing circulation
around h P rk an
t e a d Ride.The project will benefit transit routes accessing the Park&Ride The
new traffic signal will be synchronized to the other existing tra�c si nals in the corridor and will
B
include Transit Signal Priority(TSP}.The project also includes reconfiguring a right turn bus lane to
increase radius for better transit access to the South Renton Park&Ride and reconstructing curb
radii to be compliant with ADA standards.The project will install new sidewalks on S 7th St(from
the beginning of the current bus slip lane to the intersection with Shattuck Ave S),add a
landscaped strip between the new sidewalks and the travel lane,add pedestrian scale
illumination, marked crosswalks at the intersection, pedestrian countdown signals,and
channelization.This project will also provide a net addition of 5 parking spots in the Park and
Ride.
There were six(6)bids submitted and opened on May 5,2015. DPK had the apparent low bid in
the amount of$868,454.32,which exceeded the engineer's estimate of$728,678.86 by 19.2
percent. The second lowest was from 3 Kings Environmental,Inc.,reported in the amount of
$888,727.00 but later,when a totaling error was discovered during review,corrected to
$892,687.00. The third lowest was from Hoffman Construction,Inc., initially reported in the
amount of$957,632.88 but discovered during review to have several bid item extension errors
and corrected accordingty to$963,180.14. No errors were found in any of the other three bids
received. None of the errors found altered the order of the bids.The apparent high bid was from
C.A. Carey Corporation at$1,053,447.41,45 percent above the engineer's estimate.
Of the almost$140,000(rounded)gap between the low bid and the engineer's estimate (EE),
more than half,$76,000,was the difference between bid and EE for the Traffic Signal System
lump sum,$284,000 vs.$203,868,39 percent above.This bid was consistent with or lower than
the others so it must be concluded that the EE was unrealistically low.The same goes for the hot
mix asphalt(HMA) bid item. DPK's$145 per ton was 81 percent higher than the$80,resulting in
another$34,000 of the$140,000 difference. DPK's unit price for this item was actually the highest

but all of the others'were considerably above the EE,which we now realize did not take into
proper account the relatively small quantity for asphalt on this project.
Despite the difference between the bid and the EE we feel that DPK's bid is a fair representation
of the amount of work associated with this project.We do not see any reasonable opportunities
to reduce the scope of the project,as there are no major severable elements.This project is
important for our relationship with King County METRO and if we do not proceed with it the City
would have to pay back almost$200,000 in grant funds received. Rebidding the contrad will
further delay the project and increase the risk of even fewer bidders and less competitive pricing.
We believe the contract should be awarded. Funding this contract along with a contingency and
construction inspection and support services will require an additional$250,000(total funding
�equired$1,580,000 vs.$1,330,000),which will be made available from existing unallocated
traffic mitigation funds.We request that the additional funding be provided and the contract be
awarded. The necessary budget adjustment will be included in the quarterly budget adjustment
ordinance.

ISSUE:
Should the construction contract for the Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park Concrete
Tile Rehabilitation be awarded to Road Construction Northwest, Inc. in the amount of
$498,170.25? Should Fund 316.332045.020.594.76.63.012 - Coulon Park Lighting
Repairs be utilized to fund the project shortfall?
RECOMMENDATION: �
Award the construction contract to Road Construction Northwest, Inc., in the amount of
$498,170.25 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract.
Approve the transfer of$69,831.19 from Fund 316.332045.020.594.76.63.012 - Coulon
Park Lighting Repairs.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In April 2014, PND Engineers, Inc. provided a geotechnical engineering study with three
recommendations for design and construction of two large concrete tile hardscape
areas, adjacent to Kidd Valley Restaurant and the North Shelter. These areas have been
settling unevenly for many years, and may affect pedestrian and/or ADA accessibility.
Removal of the concrete tiles and replacement with a cast-in-place concrete surface
minimizes staff time to reset the tiles, and provides the longest asset lifecycle.
The City contracted with PND Engineering, Inc. for design services for the concrete tile
rehabilitation. The new cast-in-place concrete project was advertised through the Daily
Journal of Commerce and seven quotes were received, with all quotes higher than the
Engineer's estimate of$395,000.00. The lowest quote of$498,170.25 was submitted by
Road Construction Northwest, Inc.
Ed Prince,Council President �
Members of the Renton City Council
Page 2 of 2
May 18,2015
Staff reviewed the Road Construction Northwest, Inc. quote for compieteness and
accuracy, performed the necessary background research and is recommending award to
Road Construction Northwest, Inc.
The estimated construction timeframe is between July 13 and mid-September 2015,
commencing upon execution of this contract. Park visitor access to the two restaurants
and restrooms will be maintained at all times during construction. Communication with
the concessionaire is ongoing.
The new cast-in-place concrete cost is$498,170.25. Including the engineering design
fees of$92,465.00, new tree and drain grates of$28,757.99, and bid advertising fees of
$327.60,total expenses are $619,720.84, leaving a balance of$940.16. In addition,
funding is also needed to provide an approximate 10%construction contingency to
cover potential change orders. The additional funding is proposed to come from Fund
316.332045.020.594.76.63.012 -Coulon Park Lighting Repairs. All work has been
complete, and staff recommends the balance of$69,831.19 be transferred to this
project. The new total adjusted project budget will be$690,492.19.
CONCLUSION:
Awarding the contract to the lowest responsive contractor, Road Construction
Northwest, Inc., allows the City to move forward with the rehabilitation of the concrete
tiles at Coulon Park. Construction of these new concrete open spaces will reduce long
term maintenance activities and costs, and provide safe walking and gathering areas for
the most popular park in Renton.

SUBJECT: Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park Concrete Tile Rehabilitation,
CAG-15-082
The Community Services Department recommends that the Gene Coulon Memorial
Beach Concrete Tile Rehabilitation project, construction contract in the amount of
$498,170.25 be awarded to Road Construction Northwest, Inc., P.O. Box 188, Renton,
I WA 98057. There were seven bids submitted for the project.The bid submitted by
Road Construction Northwest, Inc. is the lowest responsive bid and the bidder has been
found to be responsible.
However, the current funding is insufficient to cover the construction budget and an
approximate 10%construction contingency, to cover potential change orders. To date,
the funding has been used for engineering design, permits, and bid advertising. We are
� requesting that the Council refer the Award action to the Finance Committee for further
discussion of the funding status for this project.
Staff recommends the use of 69 831.19 from Fund 316.332045.020.594.76.63.012 —
$ ,
Coulon Park Lighting Repairs, to make up the project shortfall.The new total project
budget will be$690,492.19.
The construction contract calls for the removal of the concrete tiles outside of Kidd
Va�ley Restaurant and the Picnic Gallery, and adjacent to the North Shelter at Coulon
Park. After 30+years of use,the tiles have become maintenance and accessibility
concerns due to settling. Cast-in-place concrete will replace the tiles, and will provide a
long term and safe surface to these two popular areas.

ISSUE:
, Should the Wastewa#er Utility enter into a consultant agreement with Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc. in the amount of$386,200 to provide engineering services
needed for final design and bidding services needed as a part of the WSDOT SR 167
Interchange/Direct Connector Project?
RECOMMENDATlON:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the consultant agreement with Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc. in the amount of$386,200 for the Talbot Hill Sewer Relocation
(SR 167 Interchange/Direct Connector) Project—Design and Bidding Services.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Wastewater Utility has been working with WSDOT on their proposed SR 167
Interchange/Direct Connector Project. One of the critical timing elements for both
WSDOT and the City is the relocation of the City's existing sewer system on Talbot Hill
needed as a result of the widening and interchange work proposed by WSDOT.
The relocated sewer work includes potential realignment of our sanitary sewer system
that requires depths in excess of 40 feet. To best facilitate the relocation of the City's
sewer system, City staff and WSD07 have agreed that the best approach would be for
the City to manage the effort, with WSDOT agreeing to reimburse all consultant, design
I and construction expenses for the relocation of the sewer system.
Mr.Prince,Council President
Page 2 of 2
May 11,2015
The City has received and signed the initial agreement from WSDOT for the alternatives
analysis that was completed in 2014. Amendment No. 1 to this agreement has also
been signed by the City and provides for full reimbursement of all of the consultant
costs up to the maximum contract amount of$386,200 for design and bidding purposes.
Total estimated costs for this project were updated as part of the afternatives analysis.
Design costs, including the alternatives analysis is estimated at$500,000. Construction
costs are currently estimated at$2,800,000,for a total projed cost of$3,300,000.
Current 2015 budget for the overall project is $1,500,000 (426.465506). Upon
conclusion of the final design effort we will bring the design level construction estimate
to the Council to adjust the total budgeted amount. We will onty proceed with
construction of these improvements when we receive approva�from WSDOT to fund
100%of our construction costs for the project.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was selected from the approved 2015 Architecture and
Engineering Roster on the eCityGov Alliance Shared Procurement Portal.
CONCLUSION:
The City Wastewater Utility taking the lead in this effort is the best alternative for both
the City and WSDOT as it assures that the City gets the improvements it needs and
allows WSDOT to expedite this portion of the work. In order for the Wastewater Utility
to proceed, it is necessary for Council to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
the contract with Stantec Consulting Services, in the amount of$386,200.

Talbot Hil1 Sewer Relocation-SR167 IC/DC Project Exhibit A
Scope ol Services-Design&Bidding Services Page 1 of 5
SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Renton
Talbot Hill Sewer Relocation—SR1671C/DC Project
Design and Bidding Services
Stantec Consulting Servtces Inc.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to relocate the existing sewer in South 14'h Street to make way for
the new WSDOT SR167 InterchangelDirect Connector (IC/DC) Project. Currently, the existing
sewer serving Talbot Hill is conveyed through an existing sewer line along South 14"' Street,
collecting sewer from either side of Talbot Hi(I, before conveying it under I-405 along the
extension of Shattuck Avenue S. This project will relocate the existing sewer in South 14cn
Street to the south approximatefy�/z block and will reroute the sewer across I-405 via one of
three possible alternatives that have been identified by the City and WSDOT. The project has
been broken into the following three phases:
• Phase I —Alternatives Analysis
• Phase II —Design Development
• Phase III —Construction Services
Phase I of the project has been completed and consisted of an alternatives analysis. The
purpose of the alternatives analysis was to clarify the project goals, establish design criteria and
evaluate afternative solutions before proceeding with final design and construction. The
alternatives analysis included the evaluation of three alternative crossings of I-405. Each
alternative also evaluated the relocation of the South 14`h Street sewer to the south, through
Talbot Hill. The alternatives analyzed during Phase I of the project consist of the following:
1. The installation of new sewer lift station(s), possibly one on each side of Talbot Hill.
Relocating the sewer from South 14`h Street and re-grading the sewer to flow to the new
lift stations. Sliplining the existing sewer crossing of I-405 at Shattuck Ave S with a new
sewer force main to convey flow from the sewer lift stations to the existing system on the
north side of I-405.
2. Installing a new sewer crossing under I-405 at the extension of Smithers Ave S. to
maintain the new sewer at shallower depths than the existing Shattuck crossing. The
sewer crossing of I-405 would be a trenchless installation. Relocating the sewer from
South 14th Street and re-grading ihe sewer to flow by gravity to the Smithers crossing.
This would likely require a trenchless installation through Talbot Hill, which roughly
peaks at Davis Ave S.
3. Installing a new sewer crossing under I-405 via conventional open cut construction along
Talbot Road S. Relocating the sewer from South 14`h Street and re-grading the sewer to
flow by gravity to the Talbat Road crossing. This would likely require a trenchless
installation through Talbot Hill, which roughly peaks at Davis Ave S.
At the end of the Phase I—Alternatives Analysis work, it was determined that the City would
proceed with Alternative 2 identified above consisting of a new trenchfess instaflation along
South 14"' Street where required and a new trenchless crossing of I-405 at Smithers Ave S.

Deliverables:
• A draft and final Geotechnical Report summarizing the geotechnical investigation
cornpleted as part of this task (one copy submitted electronically)
Assumptions:
� No more than 5 subsurface geotechnical explorations will be compteted as part of Phase
11 of the project
Task 202 Design
The design phase will include developing design Drawings, Specifications, and an Opinion of
Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) that may be used by the City to obtain bids from
Contractors to construct the improvements. Copies of these documents will be sent to the City
for review and comment at the 50%, 90%, and Final design stages. Design efforts will address
all comments received from previous stages of the project. Stantec will perform a topographic
survey of the proposed route north of I-405 along the extension of Smithers Avenue S ta S.
Renton Village P{ace. Stantec will also assist the City in obtaining necessary easements for the
proposed route north of I-405 which falls outside of the proposed WSDOT ROW.
Stantec will provide quality assurance and quality control (�A/QC) reviews by senior technical
engineers of the design documents prepared in order to minimize potential change orders and
overall project costs. Stantec will also provide a constructability review by an experienced
construction field representative.
Stantec will assist the City in obtaining the necessary permits for the construction of the project.
This scope of services assumes that Stantec will prepare a permit ready set of design drawings
and the Utility Franchise Permit package and will submit the package to WSDOT for approval.
It is assumed that WSDOT will help facilitate obtaining the necessary WSDOT utility franchise
permit for the crossing of I-405. This scope further assumes that the sewer relocation will fall
under the current WSDOT SEPA/NEPA for the Renton to Tukwila Corridor Improvement Project
and the JARPA permits for the SR167 I-405 IC/DC project and that no additional environmental
studies will be required as part of the City's project. Stantec will prepare a project specific
Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the City's project. It is assumed that
the City will not be required to provide mitigation for disturbing environmentally sensitive areas,
but that any mitigation requirements are covered under the credit bank established by WSDOT
for the SR167 I-405 IC/DC project.
Stantec will contract with Staheli Trenchless Consultants (STC) for the analysis and design of
the trenchless installations. STC will provide input into the geotechnical investigations and
review the geotechnical data. STC wifl provide trenchless cost estimates, schedules,
specifications, and calculations on the following trenchless methods: HDD, AXIS, Guided Auger
Bore, and Guided Pipe Ram. STC wilf also provide QA/QC on the trenchless design drawings.
Once the design is complete and approved by the City, Stantec will aid the City in obtaining bids

restored within the ninety (90) day period, except that if more than ninety
(90) days from the issuance of the emergency permit is required to
complete restoration, the emergency permit may be extended to complete
this restoration. For the purposes of this paragraph, restoration means
returning the affected area to its state prior to the performance of the
emergency activity.
c. Notice of the issuance of the emergency permit and request for public
comments shall be posted at the affected site(s) and City Hall no later than
ten (10) days after the issuance of the emergency permit. If significant

physical criteria to be potentially used by fish and that have perennial (year-
round) or seasonal flows.
iii. Type Np: Waters that do not contain fish or fish habitat and
that have perennial (year-round) flows. Perennial stream waters do not go dry
any time of a year of normal rainfall. However, for the purpose of water typing,
Type Np waters include the intermittent dry portions of the perennial channel
below the uppermost point of perennial flow.
61
ORDINANCE N0.
iv. Type Ns: Waters that do not contain fish or fish habitat and
have intermittent flows. These are seasonal, non-fish habitat streams in which
surface flow is not present for at least some portion of a year of normal rainfall
and are not located downstream from any stream reach that is a Type Np Water.
Ns Waters must be physically connected by an above-ground channel system to
Type S, F, or Np Waters.

�
a
�
wetlands of exceptional value in terms of protecting water quality, storing flood
and stormwater, and/or providing habitat for wildlife as indicated by a rating
system score of twenty-three (23) points or more on the state rating system
referenced above. These are wetland communities of infrequent occurrence
that often provide documented habitat for critical, threatened or endangered
species, and/or have other attributes that are very difficult or impossible to
replace if altered.
(b) Category II Wetlands: Category II wetlands have significant
value based on their function as indicated by a rating system score of between
twenty (20) and twenty-two (22) points. They do not meet the criteria for
84
ORDINANCE N0.
Category I rating but occur infrequently and have qualities that are difficult to
replace if altered.
(c) Category ill Wetlands: Category III wetlands have
important resource value as indicated by a rating system score of between
si�een (16) and nineteen (19) points.
(d) Category IV Wetlands: Category IV wetlands are wetlands
of limited resource value as indicated by a rating system score between nine (9)
and fifteen (15) points. They typically have vegetation of similar age and class,
� lack special habitat features, and/or are isolated or disconnected from other
aquatic systems or high quality upland habitats.
d. Wetland Buffers:
i. Standard Buffer Widths: See RMC 4-3-050.G.2, Critical Area
Buffers and Structure Setbacks from Buffers.
ii. Independent Buffer Study: The Administrator shall have the

ORDINANCE N0.
(a) The applicant funds the wetland study; and
(b) The wetland study shows why the standard buffer widths
are unnecessary and how the proposed alternate buffer will provide an I
equivalent ecological protection as provided by the City standards; and
(c) The wetland study demonstrates how it meets best
available science as identified in Wetlands in Washington State, Volume 1: A
Synthesis of the Science (Ecology Publication #05-06-006, March 2005) and
Wetlands in Washington State, Volume 2: Managing and Protecting Wetlands
(Ecology Publication #04-06-008,April 2005).
iii. Measurement of Buffers: All buffers shall be measured from
the wetland boundary as surveyed in the field pursuant to the requirements of
this subsection.
iv. Increased Wetland Buffer Width: Each applicant shall
document in the required wetland assessments whether the criteria in RMC 4-3-
OSO.G.9.d are or are not met and increased wetland buffers are warranted.
Based on the applicant's report or third party review, increased standard buffer
widths may be required in unique cases Such determination shall be attached as
a condition of project approval. Unique cases shall include but not be limited to:
(aj The wetland is used by species listed by the federal or the
state government as threatened, endangered and sensitive species and State-
listed priority species, essential habitat for those species or has unusual nesting
86
ORDINANCE N0.
or resting sites such as heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees or evidence
thereof; or
(b) The buffer or adjacent uplands have a slope greater than
fifteen percent (15%) or is susceptible to erosion and standard erosion control
measures will not effectively prevent adverse wetland impacts.
(c) The area is very fragile, or when a larger buffer is
necessary to protect wetlands functions and values.
e. Cooperative Wetland Compensation: Mitigation Banks, In-Lieu
Fee Programs, or Special Area Management Programs (SAMP):
i. Applicability: The City encourages and will facilitate and
approve cooperative projects wherein a single applicant or other organization
with demonstrated capability may undertake a compensation project under the
following circumstances:
(a) Restoration or creation on-site may not be feasible due to
problems with hydrology, soils, or other factors; or
(b) Where the cooperative plan is shown to better meet
established regional goals for ftood storage, flood conveyance, habitat or other
wetland functions.

from a different piece of property than the property to be altered within the
same drainage basin. The City of Renton maintains a mitigation bank. A list of
City mitigation bank sites is maintained by the Public Works Department. With
the approval of Administrator and the Public Works Department, non-City-
controlled mitigation banks may be established and utilized. If credits are from a
mitigation bank are to be used for federal or state permits, the bank must be
certified under state rules. If approved, compensation payments received as
part of a mitigation or creation bank must be received prior to the issuance of an
occupancy permit.
iv. In-Lieu Fee Programs: In-Lieu Fee mitigation involves the
restoration, creation, enhancement, or preservation of aquatic resources
through funds paid to a governmental or non-profit natural resources
management entity to satisfy compensatory mitigation for federal, state, and
local permits. Both the US Army Corps of Engineers (33 CFR Parts 325 and 332)
and Washington State (WAC 173-700) support the use of in-lieu fee programs.
The City of Renton is located within the service area of the King County

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set, and proper notices having been posted and published in

Petition,James Tasca consider the petition to vacate a portion of unimproved N. 38th St. right-of
way,approximately 50 feet in width and 172 feet in length, located between
Meadow Ave. N. and I-405; petitioner James G.Tasca.
Planning Director Jennifer Henning reported that 100 percent of the abutting
property owners have signed the vacation petition, and the City does not have
any facilities in the subject area. She relayed that the petitioner would like to
develop the area in conjunction with adjacent parcels that he owns. Ms.
Henning reported that upon circulation of the petition to City departments and
outside agencies,there were no objections to the vacation.
Ms. Henning also reported that this vacation request was presented to the
Council in June of 2006 and approved, but expired before the petitioner was
able to take further action.At that time,there was one objection due to the
Washington State Department of Transportation's(WSDOT) possible
Mav 18. 2015 Renton Citv Council Minutes Paee 83
requirement of an additional right-of-way for the expansion of I-405. However,
through communications with WSDOT, it was concluded that they no longer
have an interest in this parcel for that purpose,though they require rights to
the east 35 feet of the property.
Ms. Henning reported that the staff recommendation is to approve the street
vacation with the following conditions:
1) A subterranean easement shall be granted to WSDOT over the west 20

As the nation's recreational boating safety coordinator,the Coast Guard works to minimize loss of life,
personal injury, property damage, and environmental harm. Our boating safety program involves public
education programs, regulation of boat design and construction, approval of boating safety equipment, and
vessel safety checks for compliance with federal and state safety requirements. The Coast Guard Mobile
App supports these missions by providing the essential services and information most commonly requested
by boaters.
Features of the app include: state boating information; a safety equipment checklist; free boating safety
check requests; navigation rules; float plans; and calling features to report pollution or suspicious activity.
When location services are enabled, users can receive the latest weather reports from the closest National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather buoys as well as report the location of a hazard on the
water.
The app also features an Emergency Assistance button which, with locations services enabled,will call the
closest Coast Guard command center.
The Boating Safety Mobile app was not designed to replace a boater's marine VHF radio, which the Coast
Guard strongly recommends all boaters have aboard their vessels. The app was mainly designed to provide
additional boating safety resources for mobile device users. I
The app is self-contained, so personal information is stored on the phone and is not sent to the Coast Guard I
unless the user chooses to send it. The Coast Guard does not track a user's location, and the app does not
track a user's location unless the app is being used. �
Links from these pages to non-Coast Guard sites are provided as a customer service and do not represent �I
any implicit or explicit endorsement by the United States Coast Guard of any commercial or private issue I
or products presented here. �!

STREET VACATION PETITION
VAC-15-001 (previously VAC-06-002)
For additional infonnation,please contact: Jill Ding;
City of Renton Current Planning 425.430.6598
DESCRIPTION:
The City Council will hear a proposal requesting the vacation of a portion of North 38tn
Street right-of-way, approximately 50' in width and 172' in length. The requested
vacation area is shown on the accompanying map exhibit.
SUMMARY:
A vacation petition was received on February 27, 2015, from James Tasca. This same
application was previously submitted on March 31, 2006 and processed under VAC-06-
002. The previous application was approved with conditions, however the applicant did
' not complete the vacation process, therefore the application expired. The portion of
right-of-way included in this petition was dedicated in C.D. Hillman's Lake Washington
Garden of Eden Division No. 2 on July 22, 1904.
The City has no facilities in the area of this vacation.
The petitioner would like to use the requested vacation area in the future development
of the adjacent parcels.
As established by RCW 35.79.030, the street vacation petition, if granted, must be
approved by the City Council through ordinance after a public hearing is held. The City
shall receive compensation in accordance with RCW 35.79.030 for the vacated right-of-
way. The ordinance shall be recorded with King County once it is in effect.
