Phase I of the project included completion of the inventory,preparation of the base maps, calculation of the aviation demand forecasts,preparation of the facility requirements, and public outreach. The creation of several airport land use development alternatives was completed as well as a preferred alternative development plan. Phase II of the project will complete the Airport Layout Plan project,which includes updating the base drawings and revising the 20-year Capital Improvement Program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the Standard Consultant Agreement with URS Corporation, in the amount of $40,573.41, for planning and design services to complete the Airport Layout Plan. 2.

Page 7 of 8 In witness whereof, the parties hereto have executed this AGREEMENT as of the day and year shown in the "Execution Date" box on page one (1) of this AGREEMENT. By kJJ u\ Ovuo\)Ukc.Q, Rec `c IA By Consultant URS Corporation Agency City of Renton • DOT Form 140-089 EF Revised 6/05 Page 8 of 8 SCOPE OF WORK The following describes an approach to revising the findings of the master plan and completing work on the project to the satisfaction of the FAA. The basic concept of this approach to the revisions is to accept the work that exists as the basis for the airport layout plan but add a statement to the alternative analysis that explains the changes that have occurred with regard to the releasing of land to Boeing, the community input received during the public involvement process and other factors that were outside of the technical evaluation process. This will be used as the basis for a revised recommendation. Once this is done we can revise the ALP to reflect aviation-related uses on all of the properties that are available for future development. This would allow the completion of the Capital Improvement Program and the publishing of an ALP and related document. In summary, the work required is as follows. Complete Alternative Evaluation. Since each of the alternatives were developed assuming that Apron B would be available to provide for general aviation purposes, the final recommendation reflects this usage. In this revision the final recommendation will be revised to provide for continued use of the apron by Boeing and continued, albeit limited, development of other GA facilities on the other available land. The revisions envisioned include a description of any "unaccommodated demand" and an estimate of the number of aircraft that will need to be handled at other regional airports. Update ALP. All base drawings for the Airport Layout Plan have been completed and the Now ALP itself is at about 80%. This task will allow for the completion of these drawings given the revised development decisions. It is assumed that the final recommendation will not include the implementation of a curved approach. Therefore, the FAR Part 77 Imaginary Surfaces will be based on a non-precision instrument approach with visibility minimums greater than 3/4 mile. Revise ACIP. The 20-year Capital Improvement Program will need to be revised to reflect the projects required to support the new alternative. Public Meetings. Assumes that there will be no more public meetings but at least three coordination meetings with the city will be required to complete the project. Final Reports. The preliminary reports that have been completed will need to be revised, submitted for review and published. Complete Pavement Management. The PMP will need to be revised to reflect the changes in use as well as to include information on Apron C that was uncollected in the original field work.

The Visitor Information and Downtown Assistance, or VIDA, program is part of the city's broader community-wide public safety initiative to reduce crime and promote a sense of safety downtown and in the Renton community. The city has signed a contract with Dotson Security, a Renton-based security company, who will provide two officers on foot and bicycle patrol, six days a week. "Public safety is the cornerstone of a civil society and it is our responsibility to ensure that we do everything possible to make our neighborhoods and community feel safe," said Renton Mayor Denis Law. "The VIDA program is one of our innovative strategies that will help ensure downtown Renton continues to be a wonderful, safe place for residents and visitors." In addition, the city has been actively working on a comprehensive plan to reduce criminal activity and enhance overall safety throughout Renton. The city's inter- departmental effort includes additional security, increased patrols, security cameras, enhanced code enforcement efforts, a significant emphasis on traffic safety and more. The Renton City Council recently approved a contract with Dotson Security in the amount of$65,000 for the VIDA program. The VIDA officers will serve as the eyes and ears of downtown by providing hospitality and public safety services, reporting vandalism and graffiti, deterring criminal activity and extending a helping hand when needed to Renton businesses, citizens and visitors. Their presence and services will help create a Page 1 of 3 4 welcoming atmosphere in downtown Renton. They will provide the visitors, businesses and the general public with information about downtown, patrol and monitor the area around the Renton Transit Center, observe and report incidents or suspicious activities, and respond to emergencies. They wear distinctive black and yellow uniforms. "Crime is a community problem and it will take a community-wide effort to bring about a lasting change," said Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich. "As we continue with our crime reduction efforts, we are also working on the perception of safety." Key strategies in downtown Renton include: • Renton police officer assigned for foot patrol in downtown Renton during the summer. • Increased police patrols and better surveillance cameras in downtown and the transit center. • Renton Police Special Operations Division's relocation to the transit center, providing a proactive police presence. • Renovations underway at the parking garage for the future relocation of Renton's traffic unit, providing an increased police presence. • Coordinated effort between the City of Renton and King County Metro Transit for routine maintenance and cleaning to improve the appearance at the transit center. Previous efforts to enhance downtown Renton include designing and building a pedestrian-friendly street with urban amenities such as benches and sidewalks, creation of the Piazza Park, construction of City Center Parking—a city-owned parking garage, renovation of the Pavilion Building, and working with businesses and the community on several mixed-use projects. These investments have greatly enhanced downtown. Other city-wide strategies to keep our city safe include: • Creating the Renton Police Special Operations Division, where a pool of officers focus on spikes in criminal activity. • Implementing E-police, a service that provides the option for on-line reporting of minor crimes. Currently 10% of all reports are made online, providing our patrol officers more time to dedicate in the field. • Launching the photo enforcement program that includes red light cameras and speed cameras. These help reduce pedestrian accidents and injuries, and free-up resources in the city's traffic unit to focus on other areas. • Creating an inter-departmental anti-graffiti and vandalism task force to develop and Page 2 of 3 AMMONIUM. implement a comprehensive plan to remove and prevent graffiti and vandalism in the city. "Renton is a beautiful city with great parks and public places and we want to keep it this way, " said Terry Higashiyama, Administrator, Community Services Department. "Our parks continue to be vandalized, and it's extremely frustrating spending time and money cleaning up graffiti and restoring facilities that have been vandalized. We need the help of the public with this problem. If you see graffiti or vandalism in progress,please call 9-1- 1." The city has established a graffiti hotline (425-430-7373) to report graffiti on public or private property. Plans are also underway to launch a community-wide program to "wipe- out" graffiti and vandalism. "People need to feel safe in their homes and when they are out in the community," said Mayor Denis Law. "I will continue to emphasize crime reduction and safety in downtown, the Highlands and all our neighborhoods." ### If you are with the media and would like to join Renton's Police Officer as he walks the beat in downtown Renton during the summer, or would like to schedule an interview with the VIDA officers,please contact Preeti Shridhar at 425-430-6569.
