April 16,2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 139
NEW BUSINESS Councilmember Corman inquired as to the status of the prezoning and
Planning: Wonderland Estates annexation of the Wonderland Estates Mobile Home Park property(located on
Mobile Home Park, Zoning Maple Valley Hwy. in unincorporated King County). He noted the hope of the
and Annexation residents that the property will be annexed to Renton, and that Renton will zone
the property with the existing mobile home park use.
Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Wine reported that she is investigating
the permit status of the development proposal for the property to verify if the
vesting of that application occurred in November 2006. She explained that if
the development proposal is vested in King County, the development of the
property would fall under King County development standards regardless of
whether the property gets annexed to Renton. Ms. Wine stated that the property
has not yet been prezoned, and she will find out how long the property owner
has to act if the development proposal is vested and the related notification
requirements information.
King County: Regional Councilmember Clawson spoke on the subject of the sewer services provided by
Wastewater Treatment King County. He explained that the users of facilities, such as the South Plant
Services, Bond Issuance (wastewater treatment plant) in Renton and the Brightwater Treatment Plant
being built in Snohomish County, have long-term contracts with King County.
In order to pay for the Brightwater facility and other improvements and
maintenance, King County needs to issue bonds. Mr. Clawson pointed out that
some of the contracts expire prior to the end of the term of the bonds.
Continuing, Mr. Clawson indicated that Renton and King County did reach an
agreement, but some jurisdictions have not and are still undergoing
negotiations. He noted that the issuance of longer-term bonds will result in
lower rates. Mr. Clawson pointed out the urgency of the matter and detailed the
controversy related to the King County Executive's proposal to impose rates.
He voiced his agreement with the imposition of the sewer rates so the bonds can
be issued, and requested that Council take a position on the matter.
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Zimmerman explained that
King County found a provision in the law that allows the issuance of 40-year
bonds even without extending the individual contracts. He said 40-year bonds
have a much better interest rate than shorter-duration bonds, noting that the
resulting lower rates will benefit the region and the ratepayers.
No objections were raised; therefore, Councilmember Clawson acknowledged
the concurrence of Council to support the longer-term bonds.
Development Services: Public Reporting that the City Attorney is drafting an ordinance clarifying the law on
ROW, Political Sign where campaign signs can be put on public rights-of-way, it was MOVED BY
Placement CLAWSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL REFER THE
ORDINANCE ON CAMPAIGN SIGN PLACEMENT TO THE PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.*
Councilmember Corman noted the Supreme Court's ruling on the issue and
inquired as to whether this matter can be legislated. City Attorney Warren
indicated that the proposed ordinance defines the right-of-way and puts into
code those areas where the Supreme Court has given the City latitude, such as
interference with ingress and egress or traffic safety.
*MOTION CARRIED.

proper posting of the project took place.

April 23, 2007
STREET VACATION PETITION
VAC-0■ -001
For additional information,please contact: Karen McFarland;
City of Renton Technical Services 425430.7208
DESCRIPTION:
The City Council will hear a proposal requesting the vacation of a portion of Index Place
NE right-of-way, approximately 50' in width and 100' in length. The requested vacation
area is shown on the accompanying map exhibit.
SUMMARY:
A vacation petition was received on January 5, 2007, from Keith Demps, on behalf of A
& D Quality Construction and Kevie Russell. The portion of right-of-way included in
this petition was conveyed in the Renton Highlands No. 02 Corrected Plat on June 22,
1956.
The City has no facilities in the area of this vacation.
The PBPW Department/Maintenance Division reports that Maintenance crews cut the
grass several times each summer and the Solid Waste staff picks up litter several times
each year.
The petitioner plans to use the requested vacation area in the proposed development of
Index Short Plat (LUA-05-047).
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.

DATE: April 23, 2007
TO: Toni Nelson, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Kathy Keolker, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day-to-day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Our Black River Riparian Forest herons have some new neighbors—American bald eagles that
have settled into a nest east of the colony. The colony is home to about 130 nesting herons, and
there is some concern about having an American bald eagle family so close by, as the herons are
laying eggs and building their nests, and chicks are expected to appear soon.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• Celebrate Arbor Day and Earth Day with the Mayor! On Saturday, April 28th, roll up your sleeves
and help plant shrubs and flowers, spread bark, and remove invasive plants at Heritage Park,
located at 233 Union Avenue NE. Then admire your work while enjoying a free hot dog lunch,
courtesy of the City of Renton Neighborhood Program. Please contact the Renton Community
Services Department at 425-430-6600 to register.
• Renton Youth Symphony Orchestra's Spring Concert will be presented at Carco Theatre on
Sunday, May 6th, at 3:00 p.m. Enjoy this talented group of local young musicians as they perform
unabridged classical compositions reminiscent of the season. Tickets are $7.00 for adults and
$5.00 for students and seniors, and are available at the door or at the Renton Community Center.
• The Recreation Division was recently awarded a "media spotlight" award from the Washington
Recreation and Parks Association for the design of the Clam Lights poster. The award was given
at the annual state conference held April 18-20 in Blaine, Washington.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
• Effective May 21st, the City of Renton will bring its first full-time Emergency Management
Director on board. After a recruitment process that netted interest from across the nation, Debra
Needham, an Emergency Management Coordinator with the Clark County (Washington) Regional
Emergency Services Agency, has been selected to fill this important role in the Renton Fire
Department. In addition to past experience as a paramedic, Director Needham has over nine years
experience with Clark County and has been involved in both state and national declared disaster
response. She brings a wealth of expertise that will help the City move to the next level with
respect to Emergency Management.

1 III. SERVICE OF CLAIMS
2 3.1 On December 28, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Claim for Damages in this matter with the
3 Office of Risk Management for the State of Washington. The claim was assigned
4 DRM #40559092. More than 60 days have elapsed since the Claim was filed
5 with Defendant State of Washington.
6 3.2 On October 5, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Claim for Damages in this matter with the
7 City of Renton. More than 60 days have elapsed since the claim was filed with
8 Defendant City of Renton.
9 3.3 The filings of the Claims for Damages referenced above have been properly
10 perfected.
11
12 IV. FACTS
13
4.1 On January 12, 2006, at approximately 11:33 p.m., Yun Ip operated his Honda
14
Civic in an easterly direction along the 1700 block of N.E. Park Drive in the city
15
of Renton.
16
4.2 At this same time, Lawrence Witt operated a Ford Thunderbird in the 1800 block
17
of N.E. Park Drive. Mr. Witt was in the left turn-lane for the northbound I-405
18
on-ramp. Mr. Witt turned left and failed to yield the right of way to Mr. Ip,
19
colliding with Mr. Ip's vehicle in the intersection of N.E. Park Drive and the
20
northbound I-405 on-ramp (hereinafter"intersection")
21
4.3 At the time of the crash, the traffic light for Mr. Ip's direction of travel was green.
22
4.4 Mr. Witt turned in front of the Ip vehicle.

STRITMATTER KESSLER WHELAN COLUCCIO Tel:360-533-2710
1 4.5 Mr. Witt told responding police that the traffic light for his direction of travel was
2 green, and stated, "I thought I could make it."
3 4.6 The traffic signal at the intersection did not have a left-turn arrow, but rather only
4 a green ball for through and left-turning traffic.
5 4.7 Protected left-turn phasing is called for by the Washington State Department of
6 Transportation Design Manual when left-turning type collisions on any
7 intersection approach equal three per year or five in two consecutive years.
8 During the period 2004-2005, twenty-one (21) collisions involving left-turning
9 vehicles occurred at the intersection.
10 4.8 As a result of the failure to install a traffic signal with a left-turn green arrow as a
11 protected phase, multiple opposite direction left-turning collisions have occurred
12 at the intersection.
13 4.9 As a direct and proximate result of the failure of Defendants State of Washington
14 and City of Renton to provide protected left-turn signalization at the intersection,
15 the subject crash occurred, resulting in multiple injuries from which Mr. Ip
16 suffered and ultimately died.
17 4.10 On the date of the crash, N.E. Park Drive, at the intersection, was not reasonably
18 safe for ordinary travel, given the accident history and the lack of protected left-
19 turning movement.
20 4.11 Yun Ip operated his vehicle in an ordinary, proper and fault-free manner, and had
21 the right of way leading up to and at the time of the crash.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In the mid-1980's the cities of Renton and Tukwila agreed to share in the costs of two east-west corridors
across a common boundary: South 180th/SW 43rd Street was the first project, and SW 27th
Street/Strander Boulevard is the second project. An interlocal agreement(ILA)was approved for the
South 180th/SW 43rd Street project, and that project was completed about six years ago.
The current ILA for SW 27th Street/Strander Boulevard is basically a duplicate of the previous ILA for
South 180th/SW 43rd Street. The cities agree to equally share the costs of Phase I,which include the
roadway improvement along SW 27th Street from Oakesdale Avenue SW to the west(completed in
2006), and the relocation of the UPRR right-of-way and tracks to be contiguous to the BNSF right-of-
way. Attachment 1 to the agreement shows the cost allocation with the assumption that the present cost
estimate and the present outside funding are at a certain level. Actual costs would not be known until the
project is bid. Both cities are still seeking additional outside funding.
The project costs have been included in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program(TIP)
(TIP#3) and in the 2007 budget. There are no additional impacts because of this agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of Tukwila to
participate in the SW 27th Street/Strander Boulevard Connection Project and present the resolution for
reading and adoption.

ISSUE:
Should Council approve the interlocal agreement with City of Tukwila for participation in the

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of
Tukwila to participate in the SW 27th Street/Strander Boulevard Connection Project and present

In the mid-1980's the cities of Renton and Tukwila agreed to share in the costs of two east-west

SW 27th Street/Strander Boulevard is the second project. An interlocal agreement(ILA)was

assumption that the present cost estimate and the present outside funding are at a certain level.
Actual costs would not be known until the project is bid. Both cities are still seeking additional
outside funding.
The project costs have been included in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) (TIP #3) and in the 2007 budget. There are no additional impacts because of this
agreement.
Alternatives
Not approving the agreement would stall the project and deny Renton a sharing in the costs by
the City of Tukwila.

ROW, road construction, retention of a Longacres Way access through the railroad embankment, and
relocation of the UPRR tracks (including utility relocation);Phase II includes the construction of the
bridge itself(overcrossing), and access to the bridge including the main approaches.
It is anticipated that the parties will move ahead with Phase I with the costs shown in Attachment
1. Attachment 1 is illustrative in the sense that it includes some actual costs and grants and also
estimated future expenditures and potential additional grants. The final cost table would likely be
different than the attachment included in the agreement in 2007. The following applies to Phase I:

I:\D\Word\Strander ILA April 7 2007 with changes accepted.doc
6.1 For the purpose of this project, "local funding" shall mean the value of city funds
(including mitigation fees used for the project), construction of any part of the project by

contributed by grants,project funding partners, and costs of city staff, materials, and
equipment contributed to the project.

Transportation Improvement project between and including the intersections with West
Valley Highway and Oakesdale Ave. SW. Tukwila's contribution to the Strander
Blvd./SW 27th Street project shall include a credit of$262,622 which is the difference

Improvement project. In addition, Tukwila's contribution will include, as part of its local
share, the entire city owned property to the so i of the future Strander Blvd/SW27th
Street.Bridge (approximately 5.5 acres). e va e of this contribution will be
determined through a new appraisal. Ap als will also determine the fair market
values of the various properties whic volved in the securing of the new UPRR Right
of Way. North of Longacres W g#k ; a will convey to UPRR the new right of way for
•
the track relocation and reg-., e vacated right of way from UPRR. South of Strander

shown in Attachment 1. The parties agree that their maximum respective local share
will be $4.5 million each(including values of land). The parties also agree that both
parties have to agree to any bid award for Phase I whereby the net local share for each
exceeds the $4.5 million local share projected in Attachment 1.
6.4 The parties agree that no later than January, 2009, Tukwila will pay Renton an amount
of money which will achieve an even 50/50 split of all previous expenditures made by

I:\D\Word\Strander ILA April 7 2007 with changes accepted.doc
6.5 Subsequent to the physical completion of Phase I of the project, Renton and Tukwila will

city.
6.6 In addition to the foregoing funding to be provided to the Project by Tukwila, Tukwila
will pay Renton for those requested construction changes if they are betterment changes
that significantly change the scope of work of the approved construction plans. Tukwila

conditions or design problems that are identified during the project construction.
6.7 In the event a lawsuit is instituted to enforce the payment obligations of Tukwila, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs of such a lawsuit, including
reasonable attorney's fees.
7. PHASE II—THE BRIDGE AND BRIDGE AP 'OACHES

equally shared by each p t er party shall have the right to exceed its contribution
toward these special des`': • fea'• es beyond $250,000.as long as the timing or the
content of such features doe °of impact the cost of the basic bridge.
7.2 The parties agree to make a best effort to program $2.5 million each toward the $21-25
million estimated cost of the bridge in the 2009-2015 respective Transportation
Improvement Programs (TIP's). The exact timing of programming these amounts in the
TIP will be done so as to ensure a local match for additional external funding to be
sought for the bridge. However, any decision to proceed on any aspect of the bridge will
require an amendment to this agreement.
7.3 The parties may agree to include some of the bridge approach costs as part of the Phase I
project if such opportunities present themselves, and if the costs of these improvements
do not change the local share as shown in Attachment 1. Any increase in local share
beyond the $4.5 million as shown in Attachment A, whether used for Phase I or Phase II,
has to be approved by both parties unless one party opts to pay for the other party's
share beyond $4.5 million.

The Honorable Kathy Keolker
Mayor
City of Renton
1055 South Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
Dear Mayor Keolker:
With reference to the proposed sale of BNSF Railway Company's (BNSF) right-of-way in King
and Snohomish Counties to King County, BNSF proposes the following terms to the city of
Renton in an effort to address mutual concerns over the potential sale and redeployment of BNSF's
right-of-way between Renton and Woodinville. These terms are enumerated below:
1. Overpass Reconstruction. Working with the city of Renton,BNSF intends to reconstruct the
bridges over Rainier Avenue and Hardie Avenue in the second half of 2007. BNSF will
manage the design and construction of these structures, and Renton will provide funding
for the reconstruction as follows:
(i) Renton will provide funding up to a total project expenditure level of$6,750,000.00.
(ii) BNSF and Renton agree to split evenly any costs exceeding $6,750,000.00 associated
with the Rainier Avenue and Hardie Avenue overpass reconstruction projects.
2. Right-of-Way Sale Contingencies. Through January 1, 2020, BNSF will not sell, lease, rent,
donate or otherwise convey all or any part of its main line right-of-way (ROW)between
milepost 5.0 at Scopa and milepost 12.2Z just east of the Renton depot to any party other
than King County, Washington Department of Transportation(WDoT) or the city of
Renton for at least one calendar year after receiving formal STB permission to abandon that
same portion of ROW. It may also exclude other trackside properties to be determined.
Recipient must agree to rail bank the property so conveyed.
(We define the Main Line ROW as all property supporting main and non-industrial siding
tracks within these milepost limits up to at least fifteen feet from the center of the main line
track. It specifically excludes the Renton depot grounds between MP 11.7Z and 12.1Z.)
3. Abandonment Guarantee. Through January 1,2020,BNSF will accept no Offers of
Financial Assistance (OFA's) in response to any abandonment filings BNSF may undertake
between mileposts 5.0 and 12.2Z if King County, WDoT or the city of Renton submits an
OFA to BNSF that substantially matches the best competing OFA.
4. Abandonment Support from Renton. Through January 1, 2012, the city of Renton will not
oppose BNSF's efforts to abandon all or any portion of its Woodinville Subdivision line
between Scopa(Milepost 5.0) and Woodinville (Milepost23.7).
5. Renton Depot Contingency. BNSF anticipates making no further use of the Renton Depot.
Should the Spirit of Washington discontinue use of the depot before January 1, 2012,
BNSF will provide the city of Renton the right of first refusal to either purchase or lease the
depot.
If these terms are acceptable to the city of Renton,please sign as designated below. BNSF
appreciates the support and assistance of the city of Renton as we move forward with the
transformation of the Eastside Corridor. We will hold this offer open until April 30, 2007.

Agreement with Roth Hill Engineering Partners
ISSUE:
Should the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to approve and execute the
Consultant Agreement with Roth Hill Engineering Partners, in the amount of$105,800.00,
for services related to the Stonegate II Lift Station—Alternatives Analysis project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to approve and execute the Consultant Agreement
with Roth Hill Engineering Partners (Roth Hill), in the amount of$105,800.00, for services
related to the Stonegate II Lift Station—Alternatives Analysis project.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Stonegate II Lift Station project is included within the Wastewater Utility's 2007
Capital Improvement Program adopted by City Council. All design work associated with
the proposed improvement is scheduled for 2007. The alternatives analysis is needed prior
to proceeding with a specific design in order to examine each of the various force main and
interceptor routes that could be utilized for the project. Once the alternatives analysis is
complete, the Wastewater Utility will present Council with another contract for Roth Hill
to proceed with the remaining design services.
Roth Hill was selected for this project through an RFP/RFQ process that took place
between November 2006 and January 2007. A total of eight firms submitted proposals,
with three firms participating in the final oral interview process. Roth Hill was the highest
rated firm by all City participants in the interview process. Since late January, wastewater
utility staff has been working with Roth Hill to develop the scope, schedule, and budget for
Council/Stonegate II Lift Station—Alternatives Analysis Consultant Agreement

the design work. It was during this process that the decision was made to split the work
into two phases.
The project budget for 2007 is $800,000.00. This is anticipated to cover all design related
costs for the project. The contract for the alternatives analysis project, in the amount of
$105,800.00 is within the anticipated costs for this portion of work. The remaining budget
is anticipated to be sufficient to cover the costs to complete design services.
CONCLUSION:
The Stonegate II Lift Station project is in the Wastewater Utility's 2007 Capital
Improvement Program for design activities. Roth Hill Engineering Partners was selected
by the Wastewater Utility to perform design services for this project. The design work
needs to be divided into two phases to ensure that there is sufficient information regarding
which alternative will be chosen,prior to beginning the final design work. The contract, in
the amount of$105,800.00, is within the anticipated costs for this first phase of work. The
remaining funds are sufficient to complete the design efforts.

Stonegate II
Alternatives Analysis
Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC
Project No. 0015-000XX
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The project includes an evaluation of the service area and associated sewer facilities tributary to
the existing Stonegate and Summerwind Lift Stations. The project includes an alternative
analysis of the conveyance improvements. At this stage it is anticipated the design will consist
of a new gravity sewer main, force main, and lift station to take the Summerwind Lift Station out
of service. The new lift station will replace the existing Stonegate Lift Station since the addition
of the flows from the Summerwind Lift Station would exceed the Stonegate Lift Station's
pumping capacity. The new force main will convey flow from the new lift station to the City's
existing sewer system along Field Avenue NE, diverting flow from the sewer system along
Duvall Avenue and alleviating capacity issues in that portion of the City's sewer system.
The goal of the alternatives analysis phase is to evaluate alternative solutions and clarify project
requirements before proceeding with design and construction. Our approach is to investigate
reasonable alternatives and recommend approaches that minimize impacts, costs, and
schedule issues while meeting the overall goal of the project. This scope of services will
recommend a proposed sewer service alternative for the Stonegate area to establish the design
scope the project. The design and construction services are not included, at this time.
SCOPE OF SERVICES AND TASKS
This scope of services consists of five tasks.
I. Project Management (149 Hours, $20,200)
Task Lead: Lara Kammereck
Roth Hill will provide the project management services necessary to comply with the Project
Plan. Roth Hill will work closely with City staff to develop a detailed Project Plan that includes a
detailed scope of services, budget, and timeline that meets the City's needs. Specific tasks for
this effort are as follows:
• Developing Project Plan for the Alternatives Analysis
• Conduct internal project kickoff meeting
• Managing consultant's staff and tasks and providing general project administration.
• Monitor progress against projected schedule, scope of service, and budget and
administer monthly invoicing to City.

• Separate Project Plans including Scope of Services, Project Schedules, and Engineering
Fee worksheets for the Alternatives Analysis and the Design.
• Monthly invoices.
• Correspondence as required.
Tasks Not Included:
• Procurement of subconsultant services other than those specifically listed in this scope
of services.
II. Flow Analysis (204 Hours, $24,800)
Task Lead: Erik Brodahl
The existing Summerwind and Stonegate lift stations are planned to be replaced with a single
larger station located at the Stonegate site, in order to accommodate future growth to
approximately 1,500 total customers for the tributary area of the Northeast portion of the Sunset
service area. The combined facility would efficiently convey the projected ultimate flows and
alleviate capacity issues in downstream facilities, as identified during the Sewer Model
development and analysis.
One of the first pre-design activities will be to determine the size of the new station and the new
conveyance piping. Roth Hill will use the City's sewer model and work with City staff to evaluate
the service area in order to establish the capacity needs for the new lift station, the conveyance
piping improvements, and the storage facility.
The City's hydraulic model will be used to identify the head requirements at the new lift station in
order to size the necessary pumps and motors. The total dynamic head (TDH)for the station
will depend on the route selected for the force main. The hydraulic calculations will be refined
during the design phase once the preferred force main alignment and configuration is selected.
Specific Tasks for this effort are as follows:
• Work with the City to refine the limits of the projected built-out area tributary to the
station, and determine dry weather flow and I&I parameters. This will include the
developed area inside the current service area, undeveloped area inside the current
service area and the future service area.
• Create a hydraulic model of the study area by isolating the area from the existing sewer
model and updating parameters for the tributary area.
• Compute projected peak design inflow rates using the hydraulic model for scenarios
developed by the City and Roth Hill, including a scenario that maintains current
population densities in areas currently served, with growth limited to new portions of the
proposed service area. Efforts will include determining peak flows near term (within the
exist UGB) and long term (outside the UGB).
• Select appropriate design pumping rate(s)for the study.
• Determine isolated peak build-out inflow rates into the Stonegate facilities from the
relocated Summerwind flows to determine capacity impacts within the existing
Stonegate gravity system.
• Size conveyance piping based on the results of the flow analysis.
• Prepare preliminary TDH computations for use in sizing the lift station.
• Analyze the need for surge (hydraulic transient) control.
F\00151C lent OH\Altematives Analysis\Stonegate II Alternatives Analysis_032907.doc 4/3/2007
Stonegate I/Alternatives Analysis Exhibit A
Scope of Services Page 3 of 7
• Evaluate pipe capacity of the existing sewer system in Field Avenue and make
recommendations on any necessary upsizing. Check downstream pipe capacity issues,
and evaluate possibility and ramifications of a hydraulic jump occurring near the
discharge of the Field Avenue sewer system to the Sunset Interceptor. Compare total
flow results for Field Avenue Interceptor into the Sunset Interceptor to the numbers
generated as part of the Sunset Interceptor II project to confirm sizing for remaining
interceptor work in Sunset.
• Attend one meeting with City relating to flow analysis.
• Prepare summary of modeling approach and flow analysis results.
Deliverables:
• Analysis summary for meeting discussion. A summary of the modeling approach and
flow analysis results will be incorporated into the Summary Report.
Tasks Not Included:
• Final TDH calculations and pump sizing.
Ill. Route Alternatives (204 Hours, $35,000)
Task Lead: Erik Waligorski
Roth Hill will analyze the three alternative force main routes that were identified in the Stonegate
II proposal to the City, to determine the pro and cons of each alternative and recommend a
preferred alternative. Roth Hill will also evaluate if any alternative routes exist for the proposed
Field Avenue Sewer system. Roth Hill will then prepare a Summary Report that describes the
design issues associated with each alternative route along with a recommendation for the
preferred alternative.
Roth Hill will evaluate each route with respect to ease of permitting, ease of construction and
future maintenance, impacts to the surrounding community and sensitive areas, and the cost of
construction. These factors will be compared to determine which route provides the most cost-
effective and least-impact solution. Our investigation will determine the optimum location in the
City's existing gravity sewer system to discharge flow from the new force main to minimize the
amount of gravity pipe that needs to be upsized or replaced.
Roth Hill will also review construction methods such as pipe bursting, auger bores (bore and
jacking) and horizontal directional drilling to determine if they are reasonable alternatives to
traditional open trench construction methods.
As part of the route alternatives analysis, Roth Hill will engage the services of HWA
Geosciences to review the available geologic and geotechnical information pertinent to the
project, including geotechnical data obtained previously by HWA Geosciences for the City's
Sunset Interceptor Phase III Improvement Project. This review will include field reconnaissance
along each proposed alignment and will summarize preliminary design and construction
considerations. See the attached HWA Scope of Services for more detail.
As part of the analysis of the third force main route, Roth Hill will look at the possibility of
constructing the force main along 148th Avenue SE for its entire length instead of turning on SE
102nd Street and running south down 147th Avenue SE as identified in the Stonegate II
proposal to the City. In addition, Roth Hill will evaluate the potential for serving the existing
residences located between 147th Avenue SE and 148th Avenue SE to the south of NE 26th
F\0015\Client OH'Altemahves AnalysislStonegate II Alternatives Analysis_032907 doc 4/3/2007
Stonegate 11 Alternatives Analysis Exhibit A
Scope of Services Page 4 of 7
Street via gravity sewers that run north through existing properties, following within or adjacent
to the existing WD 90 waterline easement, to NE 26th Street.
Specific Tasks for this effort are as follows:
• Coordination with Geotechnical subconsultant
• Visit the site to explore potential routes and identify potential construction issues.
• Evaluate route alternatives, including potential construction methods for the proposed
improvements, including trench-less technologies such as pipe bursting or horizontal
directional drilling, and conventional open cut trenching.
• Evaluate gravity sewer service potential between 147th Avenue SE and 148th Avenue
SE.
• Prepare preliminary planning-level OPCC.
• Prepare preliminary drawings of each route alternative using existing City of Renton and
King County base map and topographic information. The drawings will highlight
pertinent issues that may affect the design and construction of the route.
• Prepare a summary of all design decisions made by design team and City.
Deliverables:
• None. A summary of Route Alternatives Study and recommendations, including
recommendations from the geotechnical subconsultant, will be incorporated into the
Summary Report.
Tasks Not Included:
• Topographic surveying of any potential routes.
• Detailed design of any route alternative.
IV. Regulatory Evaluation and Summary (83 Hours, $14,800)
Task Lead: Scott Goss
Roth Hill will meet with regulators and/or otherwise research the regulatory issues relative to
each of the options and provide a summary of the regulatory issues for the Summary Report to
aid the City in choosing a preferred alternative, as well as to prepare regulators for eventual
permit applications. A summary of the regulatory issues relative to each studied option will be
prepared, including summaries of any meetings with regulators, notes from telephone
conversations and other correspondence with regulators, for inclusion in the Report.
As part of the regulatory evaluation, Roth Hill will engage the services of ESA Adolfson who will
conduct a field reconnaissance of the proposed force main route alternatives and identify any
permitting constraints associated with each alternative. See the attached Adolfson Scope of
Services for more detail.
Specific Tasks for this effort are as follows:
• Research and identify regulatory requirements for each alternative, including required
permits, anticipated permit requirements/issues, permit acquisition time frames and
costs, and any special study requirements.

Attention: Mr. Erik Waligorski, P.E.
Subject: PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
PHASE I ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
RENTON STONEGATE II-SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
RENTON,WASHINGTON
Dear Erik:
In response to your request, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) is pleased to present this proposed
scope and cost estimate for Phase 1 geotechnical alternative analysis for the proposed sanitary
sewer and lift station improvements, as part of the Renton Stonegate II Sewer System
Improvement project in northeastern Renton, Washington.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Currently the existing residential developments known as Summerwind and Stonegate, are
served by separate gravity collection systems, lift stations and force main conveyance systems.
The purpose of this project is to combine the flows and utilize a single force main system. This
will be accomplished by converting the existing Summerwind lift station into a manhole and
installing new gravity sewer between the converted wet well and the existing Stonegate sewer
manhole located in NE 24th Court. The combined Summerwind and Stonegate flows will then be
conveyed by the existing Stonegate gravity system to a new lift station located adjacent to the
existing Stonegate lift station at the northwest corner of NE 26th Street and 148th Avenue SE. It
is assumed that the existing Stonegate gravity sewer has sufficient capacity to handle the
increased flow.
From the new Stonegate lift station, combined flow will be conveyed via force main to the
existing Field Avenue sewer system along one of three alternative routes. The existing field
Avenue system is constructed of mostly 8-inch diameter PVC and the pipe may need to be
replaced or upsized to handle the increased flow. The three force main alignment alternatives
under current consideration are:
Alternative#1: The force main would travel uphill to the west and southwest along NE 26th
Street, Lyons Avenue NE and NE 24th Court; continue around the existing Summerwind Lift

HWA Proposal No. P5768
EXHIBIT A.l
station, south on Ilwaco Avenue NE and finally west on NE 20th Street to Field Avenue NE and
tie-in with the exiting gravity system.
Alternative#2:The force main would travel uphill to the west and southwest along NE 26th
Street and Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22nd Court, along an easement between the two developments
connecting to NE 20th Street and the gravity system on NE Field Avenue.
Alternative#3:The force main would travel east to 148th Avenue SE and follow a yet-to-be
determined route before proceeding west cross-country along an alignment coincident with 20th
Avenue NE intersecting the improved portion of 20th Avenue NE at it's terminus at Ilwaco
Avenue NE. The line will continue west and southwest to the gravity system tie-in on NE Field
Avenue.
The project is located on relatively quiet residential streets having 2 traffic lanes and typically
room for parked vehicles on at least one or both sides. Open excavation for the new force main
installation and gravity interceptor replacement poses issues with traffic control, surface
restoration cost and possibly dewatering. To reduce surface impacts along the existing Field
Avenue interceptor, where the existing pipe needs to be upsized, pipe-bursting will be
considered.
The existing Summerwind Lift Station is situated on the berm of an existing storm water
detention pond. Trenchless technology, such as horizontal directional drilling(HDD), will be
considered for the new gravity sewer connection between the Summerwind Lift Station and the
existing Stonegate collection system,to minimize impacts to the storm water pond and the
adjacent private properties.
All of the three alternative force main alignments will involve one creek crossing. For
Alternatives#1 and#2 the creek crossing is located approximately 500 feet west of the existing
and proposed new Stonegate lift station. At this crossing,the road is separated from the creek
with a corrugated metal culvert. The force main may need to be installed below the culvert by
trenchless construction. The Alternative 3 force main alignment will involve a stream crossing
west of 174th Avenue SE that may also need to be installed using trenchless construction to avoid
disrupting the creek.
PROJECT APPROACH
Phase I-Alternative Analysis
Phase I will consist of a pre-design geotechnical assessment of the design alternatives with
respect to readily available pre-existing site condition information and our observations while
conducting reconnaissance of the proposed alignments. Sources of existing information may
consist of but not be restricted to: City sewer as-built records, existing geotechnical reports for
the local area, USGS and USDA maps, King County and WDOE Hazard maps. Design team
members will conduct a site reconnaissance to familiarize themselves with the route; including
relief, visible improvements, apparent location of above and below ground utilities, and any
other apparent physical conditions that may impact design considerations. The deliverable for
Renton Stonegate II Sewer System Improvements 2 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC.
March 23, 2007
HWA Proposal No. P5768
EXHIBIT A.1
this project phase will consist of a brief report summarizing our assessment of site conditions
along each proposed alignment, and preliminary design and construction considerations. Such
considerations will include impact to geologic hazards(if any), and a discussion on the
advantages and disadvantages of the currently-envisioned construction methods for gravity and
force main piping.After submitting the pre-design geotechnical feasibility report, we will meet
with the design team to discuss our findings and the relative merits of each alternative prior to
starting Phase II.
Phase II will consist of the development of engineering soil parameters, geotechnical
recommendations,and details used to design the project for construction. A work scope and
budget for Phase II will developed at the conclusion of the alternatives analysis phase.
COST ESTIMATE
We propose to provide geotechnical engineering services on a time and expense basis. The cost
of the Phase I Geotechnical Alternative Analyses described herein is estimated to be about
$10,464. A breakdown of our cost estimate is provided on the attached worksheet. However, if
unexpected conditions are revealed or you request evaluations or additional correspondence that
would require a level of effort beyond the scope of our study and budget,we will contact you to
discuss any necessary modifications to our scope and budget prior to doing work beyond our
approved scope.
Our scope of services does not include the evaluation of the potential presence and/or
concentrations of contaminated and/or hazardous materials on site, nor the identification or
delineation of wetlands and the project's potential impact on them.

Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station and Pipeline Project
Scope of Work—ESA Adolfson
March 22, 2007
CURRENT PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The project includes design of a new gravity sewer main, force main, and lift station to take the
existing Summerwind Lift Station out of service. A new lift station will replace the existing
Stonegate Lift Station because the addition of flows from the Summerwind Lift Station would
exceed the existing Stonegate Lift Station's pumping capacity. A new force main will convey
flow from the new lift station to the City's existing sewer system along Field Avenue NE,
diverting flow from the sewer system along Duvall Avenue and alleviating capacity issues in that
portion of the City's sewer system. It is anticipated that construction of the new lift station will
impact wetland buffer, and the pipeline will involve one to two stream crossings. It is our
understanding that the City will assume lead agency status for the SEPA review of this project,
and that the project will be subject to City critical areas permitting requirements.
ESA Adolfson(Adolfson),as a subconsultant, has identified the following task to support the
alternatives analysis portion of the Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station project.
TASK 1: ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
As part of this task, Adolfson will conduct a field reconnaissance of the three proposed
alternatives and identify any permitting constraints associated with each alternative. Adolfson
will conduct a wetland reconnaissance adjacent to the Stonegate Lift Station and estimate the
extent of buffer impact. Adolfson will also delineate the ordinary high water mark for up to two
stream crossings.
Assumptions:
The scope of work and cost estimate are based upon the following assumptions.
1. Three alternatives will be screened, and a preferred alternative will be selected.
2. Direct wetland and stream impacts are not anticipated.
3. Stream crossings will occur within the road prism. It is our understanding the streams are
currently within culverts under the roadways, and that the new pipeline alignment can be
constructed underneath the existing stream culverts.
Summerwind'Stonegate Lift Station 1
EXHIBIT A.2 ESA Adolfson Scope and Budget
Procedures:
1. Conduct field reconnaissance of three proposed pipeline alternatives and two Lift Stations
sites.
2. Prepare matrix and/or memo regarding anticipated permitting triggers and requirements
associated with each alternative.
3. Conduct a wetland reconnaissance adjacent to Stonegate Lift Station site. The wetland
boundary will be depicted on a drawing by estimating the boundaries in the field. No
wetland boundaries will be flagged as part of this effort.
4. Delineate stream boundary and ordinary high water mark for up to two stream crossings.
The stream boundary flags will be surveyed by Roth Hill, and a drawing depicting the stream
boundary will be supplied to Adolfson.
Deliverables:
1. Graphic depicting approximate wetland boundaries.
2. Stream ordinary high water mark flagging.
3. Matrix and/or memo listing anticipated permitting triggers and requirements associated with
each alternative.
