MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 7, 2006
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: Kathy Keolker, Mayor
Jay Covington, CAO Col
FROM: Mike Bailey, FIS Administrator
SUBJECT: Financial Policies Review
Question:
Should the City's financial policies and fund structure be revised?
Discussion:
The City Council worked with Interim FIS Administrator Mike Wilson on revisions to
the City's financial policies resulting in adoption of the policies last summer. After
assuming the responsibilities of FIS Administrator, I have recommendations for revising
korof the policies. In addition, I have recommendations to revise and clarify the fund structure
the City uses to manage its accounts and incorporate this into the policy as well.
General Edits:
Reduced the amount of words used in the policy. Many edits are an attempt to streamline
the policy while not changing the intent of the policy itself. I standardized terminology
with Renton's terms (such as Business Plan Goals, in place of Strategic Plan).
Strengthened the language related to accountability and transparency. I strengthened the
commitment to clear disclosure related to the City's bonds.
Budget Process
Added "stakeholder input" as a step to the budget process.
Took out the hard dates and structured it to be more of a chronological order.
Added a review of financial context to the process (prior year audit, current year status,
etc.)
Added a step requiring that budget preparation instructions include guidance on
addressing City priorities such as the Business Plan Goals.
Added a provision calling for the budget to be posted to the City's Web site and
eliminated publication details that are already in state law.

Members of the Renton City Council
Re: Financial Policies Review
August 7,2006
Page 2 of 3
Changed the policy on budget amendments. The original policy called for one at year-
end as a catchall for the year. My recommendation would direct us to propose a budget
amendment whenever an underlying action would make it appropriate (such as approving
a new contract or a program expansion). This will cause the budget to stay current and
match the granting of Council's budget authority with the related change.
Basis of Accounting
Added clarification that Renton financial reports conform to GAAP.
Added distinction between "external" and "internal" funds. Essentially, external funds
are those that we would separate in the annual financial report. Internal Funds are those
that are separated for management tracking purposes.
Financial Reporting
Clarified that summary reports will be prepared monthly and available on the City's Web
site.
Required a quarterly analysis of the financial results for the year thus far to be reviewed
with the City Council and published on the Web site.
Revenue Policies
Simplified guidance on revenue estimation.
Expenditure Policies
Deleted the "maintenance of existing service levels"approach, as Council will make this
decision each year.
Capital Improvement Policies
Eliminated the "pay as you go instead of debt" guidance as Council will make this
decision each year.
Reserve and Fund Balance Policies
Clarified the reserve policies:
• General Fund reserves of 10% of budgeted expenditures
• An additional reserve amount of 8% to be accounted for within the Risk
Management Fund
• An additional $2,100,000 Anti-Recessionary Reserve with the potential that it
could not be spent unless a super-majority of the City Council approved such
expenditure
• Water Fund reserve of 12%-25% and all other enterprise fund reserves of 10 to
20%
• All other fund reserves set during the annual budget process
Utility Fund Policy
Eliminated language that "minimizes reliance on debt" and proposed use of rate studies
and/or master plans as the strategic financial planning tool.

Debt Management
Reduced the average life of debt from 20 to 15 years (it should be much shorter).
Clarified interfund loan parameters.
Clarified the costs savings threshold for advance refunded debt at 4%NPV.
Described how the City will select the private partners (bond lawyers, underwriters,
financial advisors) in a debt transaction.
Specified that typically the City will sell debt using a competitive sale structure unless
extenuating circumstances exist. If a negotiated sale is used, an independent financial
advisor shall be used to advise the City Council on the terms of the sale.
Fund Structure
Added the City's accounting fund structure to the policy and made numerous changes.
The changes are summarized as follows:
• Combined the funds that rely on general revenues into the General Fund for
reporting purposes. This includes the Parks Fund, Street Fund, and the Library
Fund. We've kept distinctions on each, but will treat them as General Fund for
reporting and budgeting purposes.
• Moved Fund 306, "Leased Facilities" to 108, as it is a special revenue fund, not a
construction fund.
• Closed Fund 301 — City Hall / Parking Garage Construction and transfer fund
balance to Fund 316, "Municipal Facilities CIP."
• Closed Fund 307 - Aquatics Center Construction and transfer fund balance to
Fund 316, "Municipal Facilities CIP."
• Closed Fund 007—Parking Garage Maintenance.
• Clarified the distinction of internal and external funds as described in the policy.

Exhibit No.9: ERC Mitigation Measures
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jill Ding, Senior Planner,Development Services,
City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton,Washington 98055. The property is located to the west of Union
Avenue NE and is bisected from northwest to southeast by NE 24th Street which turns into NE 23rd Place,Queen
Avenue NE is located along the western property boundary and the site is north of NE 22nd Place. The property
is located within the R-8 zoning designation and the Residential Single-Family Comprehensive Plan
designation. The site is approximately 8 acres in area and is proposed to be subdivided into 43 lots and one
tract. Tract X is located along the eastern side of the site and is a 30-foot panhandle that connects to Union
Avenue NE.
Access to the site would be via NE 24th Street/NE 23rd Place, there is also a proposed NE 24th Court, which
terminates in a cul-de-sac turn around on the NE portion of property.
Construction requires grading and excavation activities for building pads,roadways and utilities. The proposal
retains 14 or 15%of the significant trees identified on the site.
The stormwater runoff would be collected in catch basins and conveyed to the stormwater detention system that
was constructed with the Honey Creek Ridge plat. That system was sized to accommodate the additional runoff
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated with 5
mitigation measures. No appeals were filed.
The proposed plat is consistent with the Land Use Element and Community Design Element and Environmental
Elements of the Comprehensive Plan Designation.
The net density is 6.03 dwelling units per acre which is within the allowed density for the R-8 zoning
designation.
All lots appear to be in compliance with the required lot width, depth and size standards as well as the required
setback requirements for construction of single family residences for the R-8 zoning designation. Compliance
with all setback and building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits.
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted that proposed the planting of 94 trees either within the front yard
areas of the lots or along the street frontages. Only 1 tree was proposed within front yard area of Lots 13,22
and 23. A revised landscape plan must be submitted at the time of construction permit application showing a
minimum 5-foot landscape along all public right-of-way frontages and two trees will be shown within all front
yards.
All lots appear to comply with arrangement and access requirements,they also appear to have sufficient
building area for the development of detached single-family homes.
Full street improvements,paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, storm drains,landscaping,street lighting and
signage will be required along the frontages of NE 23'd Place,NE 24th Street,Queen Avenue NE and the
proposed NE 24th Court.
A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement should be established for the development,which would
be responsible for any common improvements and/or tracts within the plat prior to final plat approval.

The topography of the subject site is generally flat. The northeastern portion of the site gradually slopes from
east to west at an approximate 2%grade. The southwestern portion of the site gradually slopes downward from
the northwest to the southeast. Temporary Erosion Control Plan and the use of Best Management Practices
would mitigate potential erosion and off site sediment impacts.
Fire,Transportation and Park Mitigation Fees have been imposed for this plat.
The site is located within the Renton School District and they have indicated that they can handle the proposed
19 additional students.
The site is within the City of Renton water service area. There is an 8-inch watermain within the existing NE
24th Street/NE 23rd Place roadway. The Fire Department requires one hydrant within 300 feet of any proposed
single-family structure. The generalized utility play proposes to tie into a watermain located on the Sierra
Heights Elementary School property. An easement from the Renton School District will be required prior to the
construction of any watermain improvements.
The property is located within the City of Renton sewer service. There is an 8-inch sewer main in the NE 24th
Street/NE 23rd Place right-of-way. This main must be extended along the full frontage of the parcel being
developed,including Lots 34 and 35 along Queen Avenue NE.
Wayne Jones, Lakeridge Development,PO Box 146,Renton,WA 98057 stated that this project dates back
about 12 years when they were working on the Honey Creek Ridge project. The construction of the NE 24th
Street/NE 23rd Place was a condition of that plat. At that time this plat was in King County and it took several
``""' years to get it annexed and through all the changes and reorganizations. The Honey Creek Pond was
constructed oversized at that time to handle this development. The sewer and water lines are already in the NE
24th Street/NE 23rd Place roadway with stubs going to most of the lots. The pond will need to be modified.
Tract X is access for one existing vacant lot.
Fill will be brought in because the lots are low and the sewer lines are shallow. Portion of the areas of Lots 25,
26,31,29,and 27 the area is low, some of the areas are lower than the existing roadway and so they need to be
raised in order for the sewer to work properly.
The landscape plan will be modified,when the houses were placed on the plan,the trees were placed as best
they could. They need to decide where the driveways will go,maintain separation from the streetlights and the
fire hydrants and driveways for sight distance and such. They do lots of landscaping with their houses and they
might ask for a variance because of the possibility of ending up with a street, driveway, fire hydrant and street
light all in the same place, sometimes two trees just won't fit on one lot. They may put three on the next house.
The laurel trees that they are recommending are slow growing and generally peak out at about three feet in
height.
David Casey, PO Box 1255, Fall City,WA 98024-1255 stated that at the original dedication of the Honey Creek
developments, the corridor was dedicated to the Parks Department and this off site was a major issue at that time
to provide a secondary access. The Honey Creek project was designed to the 1990 King County Surface Water
Drainage Manual, however in order to get the fisheries permit, they had to go to the 1992 DOE standards. The
pond has been under-performing and has been releasing water less than what it was designed for. The needed
corrections will be made for this development.
Neil Watts,Development Services stated that this was designed about 12 years ago,the roadway was built in the
County but in suitable fashion to meet Renton standards as well as the conveyance systems, which are in place
•

and will not need any additional work. There has been some evolution in the drainage requirements,the project
was designed for a more stringent standard than the City had in place at that time. The conditions placed on this
project by ERC are in agreement with Development Services and Utilities Department.
The Examiner inquired as to who would be responsible for the maintenance of Tract X.
Mr.Watts stated that the Homeowner's Association would bear that responsibility.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:29 am.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant,Wayne Jones,Lakeridge Development, Inc., filed a request for a 43-lot Preliminary Plat.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non-Significance-Mitigated(DNS-M). i
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. The subject site is located on the east side of Queen Avenue NE at NE 23rd Place and NE 24th Street.
Union Avenue NE is located east of the site. Shelton Avenue NE intersects the plat from the south.
6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of detached single-family uses,but does not mandate such development
without consideration of other policies of the Plan.
7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family-8 dwelling units/acre).
8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 5138 enacted in June 2005.
9. The subject site is approximately 8.05 acres or 350,658 square feet. The parcel could be described as a
squat,T-shaped parcel. The subject site is approximately 913 feet deep(east to west)by 400 feet wide.
The parcel is cut diagonally from the northwest toward the southeast by the NE 24th/NE 23rd roadway,
which intersects Queen Avenue on the west and creates a T-intersection with Shelton Avenue NE in the
southeast.
10. The subject site is relatively level with slight slopes in the northeast and southwest corners of the site.
11. The subject site is covered with grass, shrubs and a mix of 41 evergreen trees and 52 deciduous trees.
The applicant proposes to remove all but 14 of the trees while code requires that 25%of the existing
trees be retained or installation of trees equivalent to 25%be installed. The director determined that 9
Honey Creek East Preliminary Plat
File No.:LUA-05-144, ECF,PP
July 13,2006
Page 5
additional trees of 2-inch caliper or greater must be planted. In addition,each lot is required to have two
trees installed along the street or in the front yard of the lots.
12. The applicant proposes dividing the acreage into 43 lots and one tract. As noted above,a diagonal road
divides the property. Proposed Lots 1 to 33 would be located north and northeast of this road. Proposed
Lots 34 to 43 would be located south or southwest of the road. The tract, Tract X,is a long,thin parcel
located east of Proposed Lot 13. The tract is 30 feet wide by 370 feet long and extends east to Union
Avenue NE .
13. Access to the subject site will be via Queen and NE 24th Street on the west. Access from the south and
east will be via Shelton and Union Avenues where they intersect with NE 23rd Place. In addition,the
applicant will be creating an internal cul-de-sac roadway that runs into the northeast corner of the
subject site. A cul-de-sac bulb only will be created southwest of the regular cul-de-sac to provide access
to the southwest corner of the plat. In addition,pipestem driveways or easements will provide access to
interior lots generally located in the four corners of the subject site.
14. The density for the plat would be 6.03 dwelling units per acre after subtracting acreage dedicated to
roadways.
15. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately 19 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be
assigned on a space available basis.
*ow 16. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit. The development of 43 homes
will generate approximately 430 trips. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 43
additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening.
17. Stormwater will be conveyed to a system on a nearby plat,Honey Creek Ridge. The system on that plat
was designed to handle stormwater runoff from the subject site. The ERC did impose the 1992 Ecology
Manual Streambank Erosion Control Standard for both this new plat and that existing plat. This will
require a modification of the existing detention pond to provide the required water quality volume
meeting dual standards. The older plat would meet the standards of the 1990 King County Manual
while the proposed plat would have to meet the standards of the 1998 King County Manual. A
geotechnical report will be required for any design changes to the existing pond.
18. Sanitary sewer and domestic water will be provided by the City. Lines for both utilities are located in
the 23rd/24th right-of-way.The applicant will need an easement for a water line across the school
district property.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The applicant appears to have reasonably
divided the two sections of the plat creating reasonably shaped and sized single-family lots. The plat
will provide additional housing in a growing area of the City and according to analysis, do so without
taxing the City's infrastrucutre.
2. The plat has no critical areas making it easier to divide. The absence of critical areas also makes
*ow providing access to the frontage parcels and interior parcels easier. Easements and/or pipestems will
provide access in the four corners while most homes will front along public streets. The roads and
turnarounds appear to appropriate serve the site and future residents.

3. The applicant will be paying fees to offset the impacts of the new homes,residents and traffic on parks,
emergency services and transportation corridors. The development of the property should also increase
the tax base of the City thereby providing additional offsets to the impact of this new development.
4. The applicant will have to provide appropriate landscaping both to offset the impacts of removing
significant trees but also to landscape the street frontages of the new homes as recommended by staff.
5. The applicant will have to provide updated stormwater drainage features in the offsite detention system
and any modifications shall be approved by staff after appropriate geotechnical review.
6. A homeowners association will need to be created to maintain the common infrastructure for the plat
including the drainage system and offsite detention pond.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the Honey Creek East Preliminary Plat subject to the following
conditions:
1. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated
that was issued by the Environmental Review Committee on May 30,2006.
2. A revised landscape plan shall be submitted at the time of construction permit application to the
Development Service Division project manager for review and approval. The revised landscape plan
shall show a minimum 5-foot landscape along all public(existing and proposed)right-of-way frontages,
provided that if additional undeveloped right-of-way in excess of 5 feet exists that this also shall be
landscaped. If less than 5 feet of undeveloped right-of-way exists,then the 5-foot landscaped strip may
be installed within the front yards of the proposed lots along the street frontage. Two trees shall be
shown within the front yard areas or planting strips of each lot.
3. A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement shall be created concurrently with the recording
of the final plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for shared roadway,stormwater and
utility improvements. A draft of the document(s)shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development
Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to
the recording of the final plat.
4. Either a revised significant tree retention plan shall be submitted with the construction permit

The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The supplemental agreement provides for the design work needed to complete the plans,
specifications and estimate (PS&E) for the next sequential segment of the SW 27th
Street/Strander Boulevard Connection Project. Phase 1, Segment 2A involves relocating the
existing Union Pacific Railroad (UP) to a new track alignment alongside the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) property. The relocation of the UP track allows SW 27th
Street/Strander Boulevard to be built with a shorter overpass structure that spans the UP and
BNSF tracks, instead of the more expensive option to tunnel under both sets of railroad tracks.
With the award of$4,600,000 from the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Regional Fund

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Supplemental Agreement#4 with Perteet, Inc. in
the amount of$855,000 for SW 27th/Strander Boulevard Extension, Phase 1, Segment 2A.
BACKGROUND:
This 1.2-mile project will include a new roadway that joins the existing intersection of Strander
Boulevard and West Valley Highway in Tukwila to the intersection of SW 27th Street and
Oakesdale Avenue SW in Renton. The project will also improve the existing SW 27th Street
from Oakesdale Avenue SW. This project is an important east-west trans-valley connection
targeted at improving access and mobility for the traveling public, freight, and businesses. It
will provide access to the development at the Boeing Longacres site, and provide a grade-
separated crossing at the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNSF)
railroad tracks.
The City of Renton completed 30%design of the entire project in the summer of 2005. The
corridor improvements were split into phases, allowing smaller projects to be constructed when
funding came available. The phases were broken down as:

• Phase 1: New roadway segment from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW
o Segment 1: At-grade roadway segment from railroad tracks to Oakesdale Avenue
SW
o Segment 2: On structure roadway segment from West Valley Highway to
Segment 1
• Segment 2A—Relocates the Union Pacific track
• Segment 2B—Builds the roadway superstructure
• Phase 2: Widens existing SW 27th Street from Oakesdale Avenue SW to the East Valley
Road
The City will complete construction of Phase 1, Segment 1 by August 2006. The next
project to move forward is Phase 1, Segment 2A. Phase 1, Segment 2A involves relocating
the existing Union Pacific Railroad (UP)to a new track alignment alongside the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)railroad property. The relocation of the UP track allows SW 27th
Street/Strander Boulevard to be built with a shorter roadway overpass structure that spans the
UP and BNSF tracks, instead of a more expensive option to tunnel under both railroad tracks.
With the award of$4,600,000 from the Surface Transportation Policy(STP) Regional Fund and
the approved$4,000,000 from the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board(FMSIB) for
construction funding on Phase 1, Segment 2A, Transportation Systems Division recommends
moving forward now with the 100%design of Phase 1, Segment 2A. '
Transportation Systems Division has budgeted $300,000 in 2006 to fund the start of the contract
supplement and design work. The remaining design costs will be funded in 2007.

maintain utility coordination checklist. Coordinate and attend utility meetings.
Review utility records and identify utility conflicts. 111
• The Consultant will coordinate with the UPRR on both a local staff level and the
corporate level. This contract assumes two meeting at UPRR Corporate in Omaha,
Nebraska. Coordination meetings with the railroads will also include structural,
right-of-way, utility, easements/permits, and other issues related to the project that
may require railroad review and approval.
4.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
4.1 Overview
This task includes drilling geotechnical borings and conducting laboratory testing to gather
subsurface soil and groundwater information for the proposed new UPRR embankment. This
task of work will be performed by qualified subconsultant Shannon& Wilson, Inc. Additional
field explorations and testing may be required for future phases of work. This scope is for a
proposed new railroad embankment generally 10 to 14 feet high and 80 to 100 feet wide (at the
base) and about 5,800 feet long. One new railroad bridge at Longacres Way is also included;
this bridge will be a 3-span, 72-foot-long, 34-foot-wide bridge over vehicular traffic. Two utility
crossings are included; these crossings will consist of at-grade reinforced concrete pads that may
be founded on deep foundations. As an alternative to deep foundations, ground improvement to
mitigate settlements will be evaluated at the utility crossings.
Environmental explorations, testing, and reporting for the existing UPRR embankment will be
done under a separate task; information regarding this work will be forwarded to Perteet for
discussion with the City of Renton.
4.2 Literature Search
The literature search will be done prior to determining the proposed boring layout. We propose
to review available records for existing foundations and subsurface information that could be
used for the geotechnical design of the proposed bridge, utility crossings, and fill embankment.
Assumptions:
• Review existing geologic and geotechnical data from our files including the Sound
Transit Commuter Rail Station, the City of Renton files, and other sources as available.
• Review existing bridge foundation records for the adjacent BNSF Longacres Way bridge
if they are available. We assume that others on the design team will be acquiring data
from BNSF and will share the foundation information with us.
• Revise general exploration plan as necessary based on results of the data review; inform
Perteet immediately of any recommended changes and their impact on scope, schedule,
and cost.
• Any Phase 1 ESA information for the embankment alignment will be provided for
Shannon& Wilson to review during our literature search.

4.3 Site Visits,Boring Plan Layout, Boring Marking, and Utility Locating
44400,
An initial site visit will be conducted to layout the proposed boring locations and determine
access requirements. A site map, with the proposed boring locations marked, and a brief
description of any access requirements/issues will then be submitted to Perteet and the City for
review and approval. Following approval of the exploration plan, a second site visit will be
made to mark the borings in the field with paint and/or wooden stakes. The 800-number(One
Call) utility locate call will be made for all exploration locations. For the explorations on private
property, a private locate will be completed. The private utility locate company will be
subcontracted to Shannon& Wilson.
Assumptions:
• A project survey map (electronic format) will be provided prior to the boring layout site
visit.
• All rights of entry for site visits and field explorations will be obtained by the Consultant.
• Wetlands, wetland buffers, etc will be clearly marked in the field by others prior to our
site visit to layout borings.
• All explorations will take place within the right of way of the proposed alignment. No
explorations will be done within current railroad property (either UPRR or BNSF).
• We will contact the 800-number(One Call) utility locate service at least two days prior to
drilling. They will mark utilities using color-coded paint.
Now 4.4 Wetland and Buffer Permitting
Based on the maps that were prepared in the previous phase of work, appears that both wetland
and buffer areas will be impacted by the new alignment. Geotechnical explorations are proposed
within the wetland and buffer. Because the explorations, as well as access to the explorations,
will disturb these areas, a Special Permission Director- Sensitive Areas Ordinance
Administratively Approved Uses or Deviation permit(Special Permission Director Permit) will
be required by the City of Tukwila. The City's fee for this permit costs $340. We will complete
the City of Tukwila permit application, and prepare a letter explaining how the geotechnical
explorations will be conducted and what measures will be taken to restore the site after the
borings have been completed. We assume that the impacted wetlands and buffers will only need
to be hydroseeded after the explorations are complete since these areas will be permanently
impacted by the propose project. Therefore, a restoration plan is not included in our scope of
services.
Washington Administrative Code (WAC), which was adopted by reference in the City of
Tukwila Municipal Code, includes "information collection and research" as one of the activities
that are exempt under the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA). Shannon and Wilson will
prepare a letter to the City describing how the geotechnical borings in the wetland and buffer fit
within this category and request a letter of exemption for this activity. We anticipate that the
City will take approximately 30 days to process the Special Permission Director Permit and
SEPA exemption.

•
The explorations within the wetland will be regulated by the Clean Water Act and are authorized
under Nationwide Permit#6 (NWP 6). NWP 6 authorizes"survey activities including core
sampling, seismic exploratory operations,plugging of seismic shot holes and other exploratory N
type bore holes, soil survey, sampling, and historic resources surveys. Fill placed for roads,pads
and other similar activities is not authorized by this NWP. The NWP does not authorize any
permanent structures. The discharge of drilling muds and cuttings may require a permit under
Section 402 of the CWA."
It is our understanding that other permits such as a Hydraulic Project Approval from Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife, or a shorelines permit will not be required. If additional work,
such as other permits or a restoration plan are required we can provide a revised scope and cost
estimate.
4.5 Field Explorations for New Embankment
Borings will be completed to obtain geotechnical information regarding soil stratigraphy and
engineering index properties. No observation wells will be installed; however, we will read
monitoring wells that were previously installed during subsurface explorations for the SW
27th/Strander Boulevard bridge project. Only those monitoring wells near the railroad
embankment alignment will be read; two sets of readings are included. Access to the project
corridor will be over the SW 27th/Strander Boulevard at-grade railroad crossing and through two
locked gates adjacent to Longacres Way.
Because of the anticipated soft and loose soil deposits and high groundwater table,mud-rotary
drilling methods will be used to reduce the potential for heave into the borings. Disturbed
samples will be obtained from the borings in conjunction with Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
sampling. SPT samples will be taken at 2.5-foot intervals to a depth of 30 feet, and every 5 feet
thereafter. In addition, a few relatively undisturbed Shelby tube samples will be attempted. A
geologist or engineer from Shannon& Wilson will observe the drilling full-time, collect and
classify the samples, and prepare boring logs. All samples will be sealed in airtight jars, and
returned to Shannon & Wilson's laboratory for testing as required, and for further reference. We
will store the samples for one month following submission of our final report. After that, we will
dispose of the samples, deliver the samples to you, or arrange for storage in our warehouse or at
another site, depending on your written instructions.
For worker safety, during drilling a photoionization detector(PID)will be used to screen for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the soil samples obtained above the groundwater table.
Visual or olfactory observations regarding potential contamination will also be noted. If
potential contamination is observed, a soil sample will be collected. With City's approval the
sample could be analyzed for potential contaminants; environmental testing is currently out of
this scope.
Two borings will be performed at the Longacres Way bridge site. These borings will extend 120
feet below ground surface, or 30 feet into a suitable bearing layer, as identified by our field
representative. If the borings need to be lengthened, the City will be notified immediately and
drilling will continue. Because the proposed bridge is relatively short (72 feet), only two borings
are proposed for four piers. Up to 9 additional borings will be performed along the project NIS
Supplemental Agreement No. 4 SW 27th/Strander Blvd Extension - Phase 1, Segment 2A

Page 6
alignment. Up to five of those borings will extend to 120 feet, and up to four borings will extend
to 60 feet. These depths are based on the known nearby soil conditions and the proposed width
of the embankment. These borings will be spaced approximately 500 feet apart along the project
alignment. Approximately 1,200 feet of clearing and grading will be required to access up to
three drilling sites at the south end of the project corridor. The clearing and grading would occur
through a heavily vegetated area(trees and shrubs). Permitting for clearing and grading is
discussed in section 4.4 above.
Assumptions:
• Access through both the locked gates adjacent to Longacres Way will be provided by
others.
• We have included the cost of grading and clearing to access up to 3 boring sites in the
drilling subcontractor's cost.
• All borings will need to be accessed with a track-mounted drill rig.
• Obtaining wetlands permitting and railroad rights of entry may significantly impact the
field exploration schedule.
• No site restoration is required even in the wetlands areas.
• Boreholes will be backfilled in accordance with state and federal regulations. No
patching or pavement restoration is required.
• All 11 borings will be completed during the day, during the week without time
restrictions.
• Time estimate is based on 14 days of drilling to complete the borings.
`— • No railroad flagger will be needed because all borings will be located outside of current
railroad property(either UPRR or BNSF).
• For the 11 borings along the proposed new embankment, no soil or groundwater
contamination is currently assumed; therefore, no environmental samples are included in
the scope or cost. The subcontracted driller will dispose of the "clean" cuttings. If
potential contamination is observed, environmental samples will be taken and the drill
cuttings containerized in drums. Shannon& Wilson will notify Perteet immediately.
During testing,the drums will be stored on City of Renton property at or very near to the
drill sites. Currently environmental sampling, testing, and drum disposal for the new
embankment borings are not included in the scope of work or cost estimate.
• Completed field exploration locations and elevations will be surveyed by others and an
updated site plan will be provided to Shannon& Wilson for use in the engineering
studies and report.
• Pavement coring is not required.
• No traffic control is required.
• Multiple drill rigs will not be required to meet the schedule or for other reasons.
• The driller will remove drill cuttings and drilling mud from the site and legally dispose of
them.

4.6 Sample Review,Laboratory Program Preparation, and Geotechnical Laboratory
Testing
An experienced geologist will review the soil samples and soil classifications and prepare a
laboratory program. Geotechnical laboratory tests will be performed on selected samples.
Laboratory testing will include natural water content determinations, grain size analyses, and
Atterberg Limits to determine the index properties of the subsurface soil at the site. Where
relatively undisturbed samples are obtained, consolidation and/or triaxial strength tests may be
performed on selected samples to measure their engineering properties. Where significant
organics are noted in the samples, organic contents may also be determined.
4.7 Engineering Studies and Report
Based on the results of the field explorations and laboratory testing, a subsurface profile will be
prepared along the new railroad embankment. Geotechnical engineering studies will include the
new embankment fill material types, fill placement and compaction criteria, subgrade
preparation, estimated embankment settlements, estimated differential settlements between the
existing and proposed UPRR embankments at their connection points, estimated settlement
impacts on the existing BNSF tracks due to UPRR embankment construction, stability analysis
for temporary and permanent slopes, and construction sequencing. It is assumed that the railroad
embankment will be designed only for static loading conditions because of the prohibitively
expensive nature of doing ground improvement over such a long and wide corridor. For the
access roadway that will run parallel and adjacent to the UPRR tracks on the embankment,
recommendations regarding subgrade preparation will be provided; pavement design is not
currently included in this scope. A Shannon & Wilson railroad design expert will review the
embankment recommendations for consistency with current railroad practice.
For the Longacres Way bridge foundations, vertical deep foundation capacities under both static
and seismic loading conditions will be provided. The liquefaction potential analysis will include
a three-level earthquake criteria consistent with AREMA;however, only one level earthquake
will be used to analyze deep foundation capacities. Two deep foundation types (such as
augercast concrete piles and driven steel pipe piles) and two sizes per pile type (such as 14-and
16-inch-diameter) will be analyzed for their compressive and uplift capacities under both static
and seismic loading conditions.
At the two utility crossings, the deep foundation analyses will focus on static vertical capacities
only; it is assumed that the crossings will not be designed for seismic loading(liquefied)
conditions. At the utility crossings, two deep foundation types and two sizes per pile type will be
analyzed for their static compressive and uplift capacities. Utility crossings supported by deep
foundations may create significant differential settlements between the crossing and the adjacent
embankment. As an alternative to deep foundations, ground improvement such as geopiers and
other suitable methods will be evaluated. Geopiers would reduce settlements at the utility
crossings. Conceptual design for ground improvements would be completed; with a maximum
of two methods evaluated.

Assumptions:
• Evaluate suitable foundation support for new railroad bridge and discuss with the project
structural engineers.
• Evaluate seismic design considerations related to the proposed bridge structure, including
peak ground acceleration, soil profile type, and potential seismic hazards.
• Liquefaction-induced downdrag would be included in the seismic analysis if appropriate.
• Provide geotechnical parameters in tabular form for pile lateral resistance analysis; others
will complete pile lateral resistance analysis. A single design level earthquake condition
will be used for seismic conditions in the parameter table.
• Estimate foundation settlements under static loading conditions.
• Provide construction considerations for driven and drilled deep foundations (as
appropriate).
• Provide embankment construction considerations such as subgrade preparation, slope
stability, settlement monitoring, and material type,placement, and compaction.
• After completing preliminary engineering studies, a draft geotechnical report will be
submitted during the 60 percent design phase. This draft report will include a site and
exploration plan, exploration logs, geotechnical laboratory testing results, a subsurface
profile along the new track alignment, and conclusions and recommendations for the new
railroad embankment, Longacres Way bridge foundations, and two utility crossing
foundations/ground improvements. Seven hard copies of the draft report will be
provided.
41410,
After receiving a compiled list of comments on the 60 percent draft report, a finalized report will
be submitted during the 90 percent design phase. Cost estimate assumes that revisions to the 60
percent design report will be minor and editorial; no significant design changes requiring
additional analyses are included. No additional field or laboratory testing work will be
performed. Four hard copies of the 90 percent report and one pdf will be provided.
4.8 Plans and Specifications Review
Plans and specifications preparation and/or review is not currently in the scope of work.
4.9 Bidder Assistance
Bidder assistance is not currently in the scope of work.
4.10 Project Management and Invoicing
This scope of work assumes project duration of 10 months. In addition to project management,
monthly progress reports will be prepared and included in the monthly invoices.

4.11 Meetings
The Shannon& Wilson project manager will attend three design meetings at the City of Renton.
We assume that each meeting will last 4 hours including travel time. These meetings would
occur sometime during the 60 percent design phase.
5.0 RIGHT-OF-WAY PLAN PREPERATION
Using the right-of-way and property information gathered and prepared in the previous
phase of work,prepare right-of-way plans and documentation for the purpose of
acquiring right-of-way to relocate the UPRR railroad and vacate the existing UPRR right-
of-way. The new right-of-way will be a parallel 100' strip adjacent to the BNSF right-of-
way.
Assumptions:
• A Record of Survey right-of-way plan will be required for the project.
• Right-of-way map will require no more than three sheets at 1"=100' scale(including

Key Assumptions and Exclusions
• For the purpose of developing this scope and accompanying fee estimate, it is
assumed that the completed Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E)
documents will be incorporated into the set for this contract. These documents
will be prepared in accord with the CITY plan/format standards.
• DEA will provide on-site wetland mitigation design including creation and
enhancement, to the greatest extent possible given the site
opportunities/constraints.
• Wetland creation will be provided on a multi-ratio replacement system established
by the Department of Ecology(Ecology). As a result of the March 2006 Ecology
mitigation ratios, it is expected that additional wetland mitigation will be required
from what was identified in the SW 27th/Strander Boulevard Extension and SW
27th Street Corridor Improvements Project(City of Renton) Conceptual Wetland
Plan (September 2004).
• Additional wetland mitigation requirements that cannot be satisfied on-site will be
achieved at the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank. The
CITY will provide DEA with mitigation ratios for use of the Springbrook Bank

RESOLUTION NO. 38071
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON,
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO
THE AQUATIC LANDS LEASE NO. 22-A90012 FOR A TERM OF 30
YEARS, AND THE TERMINATION AGREEMENT OF THE OLD
AQUATIC LANDS LEASE NO. 22-090012 FOR THE WILL ROGERS —
WILEY POST MEMORIAL SEAPLANE BASE AS REQUIRED BY
STATE LAW AND ADMINISTERED BY THE WASHINGTON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (DNR).
WHEREAS, on December 30, 2004, the Airport received a letter from the Washington
Department of Natural Resources(DNR)requesting an updated survey of the Aquatic Lands
Lease No. 22-090012. This lease authorizes both the location and use of the seaplane dock
structure and is due for renewal on April 1, 2007. This lease was originally transferred from a
Port District to DNR on October 1, 1984, and as of 2005, had not had a proper survey conducted
to illustrate the extent of the leasehold area; and
WHEREAS,in the spring of 2005, Duane Hartman&Associates, Inc., (DHA)presented
an updated survey to Airport management that showed a large leasehold area. The annual rent on
the size of the area in question would have been a financial hardship for the Airport to bear.
Extensive Airport staff research uncovered two plots of City-owned land near the shore that was
missing from past surveys. Several meetings with both DHA and DNR followed and a new
survey was conducted in the fall of this same year. Additional discussions with DNR exploring
the possibility of designating the Airport's seaplane base as a Public Use Facility were
unsuccessful, and the language of the current lease was finalized by DNR on March 30, 2006; and
WHEREAS, rent for the period of April 1, 2006, to March 31, 2007, plus a one-time
financial security fee(Security Bond)to ensure full performance of the lease terms, will amount to
1
RESOLUTION NO.
$2,777.91. The Lease allows for a rent adjustment every four years, with the first adjustment on
April 1, 2010;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON,
WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION L The above findings are true and correct in all respects.
SECTION IL The Mayor and City Clerk are authorized to enter into the Aquatic
Lands Lease No. 22-A90012 for a term of 30 years, and the Termination Agreement of the old
