PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2021 - 2026): This being the date set, and
proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws,
Mayor Pavone opened the public hearing to consider the annual update to the Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), 2021-2026.
Transportation Planning Manager Vangie Garcia reported that transportation programs and
projects are required to be incorporated into the TIP in order to receive State and/or Federal
funding. Ms. Garcia explained that the TIP is a financially unconstrained document and its
purpose is to develop a multi-year work plan and funding plan for the development of
transportation facilities, it is used to coordinate transportation projects and programs with
other jurisdictions and agencies, it allows for a reflection of involvement with citizens and
elected officials, it is mandated by State law, and is required for State and federal funding
programs.
Ms. Garcia highlighted updates to the format of the TIP document, and clarified that the
projects within the TIP proposed expenditures by category type are as follows:
Roadway Corridor – 21 projects
Maintenance and Preservation – 11 projects
Non-Motorized – 11 projects
Operations and Safety – 9 projects
Other Programs/Planning – 5 projects
Additionally, she explained that each program/project will have a current funding status that
will identify if it has funding or is a “candidate” project with no determined funding source.
She also noted that this TIP and future TIPs will include more feasible scope and appropriate
AGENDA ITEM #6. a)
October 5, 2020 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
phase of projects that the City hopes to implement if the funding were made available.
Concluding, Ms. Garcia noted that the connection between the TIP and the budget process is
the ranked order of projects. She stated that the TIP is updated annually to reflect current City
priorities.
Public comment was invited. There being no public comments or deliberations, it was
MOVED BY MCIRVIN, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED.
b) Extend Moratorium on Large Residential Developments: This being the date set, and proper
notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor
Pavone opened the public hearing to consider extending the Moratorium on Large Residential
Projects (150 or More in a Project) within the Sunset Area.
Senior Planner Paul Hintz introduced himself to Council and noted his contact information for
the public. He explained that Council adopted Ordinance No. 5967 on April 6, 2020 which
established an emergency moratorium on the acceptance of Large Residential Project (greater
than 150 units) in the Sunset Area and fee waivers for Large Residential Projects. Mr. Hintz
reported that State law required a public hearing be held within 60 days of adopting this
ordinance, which was then held on June 1, 2020. Mr. Hintz also explained that Ordinance No.
5967 sunsets on October 6, 2020, but staff is recommending that Council extend the
moratorium on the acceptance of Large Residential Projects (greater than 150 units) in the
Sunset Area, but not the moratorium on fee waivers because those now fall under a separate
moratorium, until April 6, 2021.
Mr. Hintz noted the following citations in Ordinance No. 5967:
1) The potentially substantial impacts that Large Residential Projects may have as they
exceed the scope and scale of typical projects;
2) The existing “modifications” docket item that would allow City planners to better
ensure modifications to approved site plans mitigate negative impacts, where
necessary, and ensure consistency with the RMC (Renton Municipal Code);
3) The significant investments in the Sunset Area, as well as the need for affordable and
market-rate housing;
4) The need to review best practices that support housing opportunities for a wide-
range of incomes.
Concluding, Mr. Hintz recommended accepting public testimony on this topic and adopting
the ordinance that will extend the moratorium on Large Residential Project (greater than 150
units) until April 6, 2021.
Public comment was invited. There being no public comments or deliberations, it was

having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pavone
opened the second public hearing to consider public input for the 2021/2022 Biennial Budget.
Administrative Services Administrator Jan Hawn informed Council that this is the second of
three public hearings regarding the 2021/2022 Biennial Budget and the setting of the annual
Property Tax levy. She indicated that the final public hearing is scheduled for November 2,
2020. Ms. Hawn remarked that this second public hearing is another opportunity for residents

City Council Regular Meeting - 12 Oct 2020
SUBJECT/TITLE: Puget Sound Energy Easement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Community Services Department
STAFF CONTACT: Erica Schmitz, Parks Planning Manager
EXT.: 6614
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
$2,000 in compensation will be received from Puget Sound Energy. The funds will be used for the Coulon
Trestle Bridge replacement project which is currently under contract (316.000000.332070.020.594.76.63.000).
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has requested a new easement within Riverview Park for the Energize Eastside
project because the existing easement is limited to lines carrying a maximum of 115 kV, which is insufficient
for the new proposed lines. The new easemen t allows for overhead facilities for two (2) electric transmission
systems carrying a maximum of 230 kV for the Energize Eastside project. Any future expansion would require
a new easement. The Easement Area encompasses approximately 42,711 square feet o f Riverview Park. The
city reserves the right to landscape, maintain and utilize the Easement Area as an open space and active park.
Following any work in the Easement Area, PSE must fully restore any impacted area. An appraisal was
completed for the easement and has determined a value of $2,000.00.

ASSESSOR’S PROPERTY TAX PARCEL: 162305-9078 and 162305-9033
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the CITY OF
RENTON, a Washington municipal corporation (“City” herein), hereby grants and conveys to PUGET SOUND
ENERGY, INC., a Washington corporation ("PSE" herein), for only the purpose described below, a nonexclusive
perpetual easement over, under, along, across and through the following described real property (the "Easement
Area" herein) in King County, Washington:
SEE EXHIBITS “A”, “A-1”, “A-2”, “B-1”, “B-2” ATTACHED HERETO AND BY THIS
REFERENCE MADE A PART HEREOF.
1.Purpose. PSE shall have the right to use the Easement Area to construct, operate, maintain, repair,
replace (only if an exact replacement), and remove utility systems for purposes of transmission, distribution and sale
of electricity. Such systems are limited to:
Overhead facilities for two (2) electric transmission systems carrying a maximum of 230 kV. Such
overhead facilities may include electric transmission and distribution lines; fiber optic cable and other lines;
cables and facilities for communications. No facilities other than overhead facilities are allowed under this
easement.
No extension, expansion, intensification, or other exceedance of the above-described systems is allowed
under this easement.
2.Relocation. The Easement Area is located in a City park, which park will be developed, utilized,
modernized and updated over time. In the event that the City determines that PSE’s facilities unreasonably interfere
with the use of the park, PSE shall relocate its facilities, at its sole expense. In the event relocation is necessary, the
City and PSE shall attempt to agree on the area to which the facilities shall be relocated, but if an agreement cannot
be reached, PSE shall immediately provide to the City its engineering and technical requirements and shall relocate
its facilities to an area determined by the City, which area must meet PSE’s engineering and technical requirements.
After relocation, the City will grant PSE a new easement for the facilities and appurtenances and PSE shall,
contemporaneously, release this easement. PSE shall pay all costs associated with relocation, including any costs
incurred by the City in determining a relocation area.
3.Easement Area and Facilities Maintenance and Repair. The Easement Area will be landscaped,
maintained and utilized as an open space and active park. Therefore, PSE shall provide the City with written notice
of any planned construction or maintenance activities, including vegetation management activities, at least twenty
(20) business days prior to performing such activities. PSE shall send its notice and request for entry and a work
plan detailing the proposed activities to the City’s Parks and Trails Director. Requested entry and planned activities
AGENDA ITEM #6. c)
Page 2 of 5
Energize Eastside N‐4 Talbot Hill ‐ Lakeside
WO# 111015586 / RW‐085959
shall occur only with the City’s prior approval as to the scope, extent and timing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or denied. The City understands and acknowledges that federal standards require PSE to
maintain certain clearances between vegetation and its transmission lines. PSE, at its expense, shall provide detour
routes as needed, signage, and take such further steps necessary to prevent unreasonable interference with the
use of the park during such maintenance and repair activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an
emergency, PSE shall have immediate access to the Easement Area across adjacent City-owned parcels, if
necessary. PSE shall provide notice to the City of such emergency access as soon as reasonably practicable.
4.Restoration. Following any work by PSE (including the initial construction, maintenance, or repair of its
facilities), PSE shall, to the same or better condition, restore landscaping and surfaces and portions of the property
affected by PSE’s work to the condition existing immediately prior to such work, unless said work was done at the
request of the City, in which case the City shall be responsible for such restoration. All restoration which is the
responsibility of PSE shall be performed as soon as reasonably possible after the completion of PSE’s work and shall
be coordinated with the City so as to cause the minimum amount of disruption to the City’s use of its property.
5.City's Use of Easement Area. The City reserves the right to use the Easement Area for any purpose
not inconsistent with the rights herein granted. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, public pedestrian
access along the Cedar River Trail (situated within the real property described in Exhibit A-1) shall be continuously
available.
6.Indemnity. PSE agrees to indemnify the City from and against liability incurred by the City as a result
of the act or omission of PSE or its contractors in the exercise of the rights or obligations herein granted to or
imposed on PSE, but nothing herein shall require PSE to indemnify the City for that portion of any such liability
attributable to the negligence of the City or the negligence of others.
7.Termination. The rights herein granted shall continue until such time as PSE terminates such right
by written instrument. If terminated, any improvements remaining in the Easement Area shall become the property
of the City or removed by PSE at PSE’s cost, at the City’s discretion.
8.Successors and Assigns. PSE shall have the right to assign, apportion or otherwise transfer any or all
of its rights, benefits, privileges and interests arising in and under this easement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be binding upon their respective successors and
assigns.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Human Services Funding Recommendations 2021-2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Community Services Department
STAFF CONTACT: Dianne Utecht, Human Services Coordinator
EXT.: 6655
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The City provides $562,036 annually to allocate to agency programs providing human services. For the 2021-
2022 cycle, 87 applications were received totaling $1,473,639 in requested funds. 51 programs are
recommended to receive funding.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Renton participates with 15 other cities in the Human Services Funding Collaborative (HSFC) to coordinate
human services funding between East, North and South King County municipalities. The participating cities
include Auburn, Bellevue, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kenmore, Kent, Kirkland,
Redmond, Renton, Sammamish, SeaTac, Shoreline, and Tukwila, Washington. Two funding workshops were
held for agencies including an in-person workshop on March 4 and a virtual workshop on March 9. Both these
sessions were recorded and are available on the HSFC site along with the PowerPoint presentation and
workshop Q&A’s. Participating cities provided technical assistance, and Renton agencies identified by staff
received additional outreach. Applications were accepted in each of the need areas identified in the most
current human services needs assessment. Those areas are: Economic Opportunity/Self Sufficiency, Basic
Needs, Health and Wellness, Homeless Services/Housing, Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Services, and
Connector Services (which includes information and referral, transportation, cultural navigators, and other
services that connect residents to services). Renton has approximately $562,037 to allocate. 87 requests were
received totaling $1,473,639.
HSAC members used a transparent review process that was thorough and equitable. Applications were
reviewed and scored by the Human Services Advisory Committee (HSAC) using the attached rating tool
developed by members and staff. Committee members received training on how to use the rating tool and
scored a number of practice applications.
HSAC members were assigned to two teams, with each team reading approximately half the applications
which were grouped by need area. Members averaged between 57-60 hours reviewing and discussing
applications. After spending about one hour reviewing and scoring each application, members then met in
groups five times to discuss and finalize the recommendations. Then, the full committee met to review and
approve all funding recommendations which were determined by points awarded to each application.
Applications in a need area were ranked by highest to lowest based on the average score of HSAC reviewers.
Programs were funded by the order they were ranked, and programs were not skipped to fund a lower-ranked
program. Committee members had discretion in determining the amount awarded, as long as it met the
minimum amount of $7500.
AGENDA ITEM #6. d)
16 new programs were recommended for funding; 14 programs previously funded we re not recommended;
and some programs received reductions in funding. Each of the need areas was allocated a portion of available
funding. Amounts were determined by HSAC, based on their analysis of the need.

City Council Regular Meeting - 12 Oct 2020
SUBJECT/TITLE: 2021 and 2022 Utility Revenue Requirements, Capital Improvement
Program and Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Ron Straka, Utility Systems Director
EXT.: 7239
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The proposed revenue increase will generate an additional $327,581 in 2021 and $349,795 in 2022 for the
Water Utility, $ 216,400 in 2021 and $219,679 in 2022 for the Wastewater Utility, $223,801 in 2021 and
$231,738 in 2022 for the Surface Water Utility, and $47,000 in 2021 and a decrease of $279,000 in 2022 for
the Solid Waste Utility. There is sufficient fund balance to absorb the Solid Was te Utility revenue decrease.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Utility Systems Division hired a consultant to complete utility rate modeling for the 2021 and 2022
biennium budget and provide six-year revenue needs projections for each utility. The recommended utility
rate increases for 2021 and 2022 are 2% for the Water Utility, Wastewater Utility, and Surface Water Utility,
increase the Solid Waste Utility rates for residential and roll-off customers by 2% each year for 2021 and 2022
and decrease the Solid Waste Utility rate for commercial customers by 4% for 202 1 and 0% increase for 2022.
The combined total dollar increase per month for all utility sections for an average single -family residential
customer is $2.09 in 2021 and $2.14 in 2022 (see Table 1).
In addition, staff proposes to continue to defer the King County rate stabilization charge for 2021 and 2022.
Staff also proposes increasing the Water Utility and Wastewater Utility system development charges by $50
each year and an increase of $100 each year in the Surface Water Utility system development charge to
provide funding for utility capital improvement programs.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In 2010 Council adopted financial criteria to stabilize the utility funds. The financial
criteria include:
Fund Balance, Operating Reserves and Rate Stabilization:
Water, Wastewater and Surface Water funds: 12% of annual
operating expenses or 30 to 45 days.
Solid Waste: $400,000.
King County Wastewater Treatment: $380,000.
Capital Contingency as System Reinvestment and Debt Service:
Surface Water: 1.25 debt service coverage (DSC) and
approximately $3 million annual system reinvestment.
Wastewater: 1.25 DSC and approximately $3 million annual
system reinvestment.
Water: 1.25 DSC and approximately $4 million annual system
reinvestment.
Bonds versus Cash Funded Projects:
All non-Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects should be
paid for using rates (programs, system plans, education materials,
etc.).
All system reinvestment, maintenance, replacement and
rehabilitation CIPs should be paid for using rates.
CIPs for new infrastructure, growth or increased capacity can be
paid for using bonds.
Over the past 12 years, city utilities placed a high priority on reinvesting in the
infrastructure and replacing, rehabilitating and maintaining the system. The city has
been able to avoid bonding during this period which has stabilized the utility funds,
reduced debt service costs and debt to equity ratio.
Budget Considerations
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The emphasis in the utility capital improvement program for 2021 and 2022 is on
providing infrastructure improvements, replacement and rehabilitation to serve existing
and future customers and support planned growth. In addition, we must maintain our
level of system reinvestment to ensure our infrastructure is up to date and operating
efficiently to serve the community.

Utility Rate Modeling
The Utility Systems Division hired a consultant to complete utility rate modeling for the
2021 and 2022 budget and provide six-year revenue projections. The goal is to minimize
and maintain level rate increases to ensure adequate reserves, funding for the Capital
Improvement Programs, and maintenance and operation programs of our water,
wastewater and surface water utilities. The increase in capital funding necessary to
complete the proposed CIP projects for each utility in 2021 and 2022 will require small
rate increases in 2021 and 2022 for the Water, Wastewater and Surface Water utilities.
Rate modeling for 2021 and 2022 showed a need for a 2% increase in the Water,
Wastewater and Surface Water utilities each year. Solid Waste rate modeling indicated
a need for a 2% increase in both 2021 and 2022 for residential and roll-off customer
rates and a 4% decrease in commercial customer rates for 2021 with no increase
needed in 2022. The decrease in rates for the commercial class will reduce the amount
of revenue the commercial customer class supports the residential customer class. The
aggregate rate revenue increase for all four utilities for 2021 is 1.36% and 1.79% in
2022, which is about equal to the average inflation rate (approximately 1.6%).
The Solid Waste Utility’s rates are impacted by three factors: increases to the King
County’s solid waste disposal fees (aka tipping fee), the solid waste collection
contractor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases(as allowed by the contract), and
increases in the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program fees. The 2021 King
County solid waste disposal fee will remain at the same 2020 rate of $140.82/ton.
However, the 2022 rate will be decided in 2021 and is projected to increase by 10% to
the rate of $154.90/ton. The contractor’s CPI increases, guaranteed in the collection
contract, will be 1.01% in 2021 and projected to be 2% in 2022, and the Local Hazardous
Waste Management Program fee increase of 5.45% in 2021 and 5.45% in 2022.
The Solid Waste Utility fund balance has sufficient funds and will not decrease below the
adopted minimum fund balance policy of $400,000, even with these contract and King
County fee increases, the 4% reduction in 2021 rate and no rate increase in 2022 for
commercial customers, while still holding rate increases low for residential and roll off
customers as proposed.
The King County wastewater treatment charge will be increasing by 4.5% ($2.04) in 2021
from $45.33 to $47.37. This rate increase impacts the Wastewater Utility rates by
increasing the amount of utility taxes paid to the city. In 2009 we established a King
County rate stabilization fund to equalize the way that King County charges for
treatment. This charge has been deferred from 2017 through 2020. We are proposing to
continue to defer this charge during the 2021 and 2022 budget cycle. We will reassess
the need for this charge as part of the 2023-2024 budget process.

Table 1 shows the proposed average monthly bills for the single-family customer class.
The average single-family customer’s total monthly city utility bill will increase by $2.09
in 2021 (2% overall) and $2.14 in 2022 (2% overall), with these proposed utility rate
increases.
System Development Charges
As part of the rate modeling, the consultant updated the system development charges
necessary to pay for the future capital projects that increase system capacity to serve
growth. The consultant’s calculations projected increases ranging from 2.3% to 10.5%
depending on the utility. Staff has proposed these increases be phased in over the two-
year budget period. Table 2 shows the proposed system development charges for the
piped utilities. The increases in system development charges are due to the increase in
plant value from the city’s contribution in capital projects and improvements. An
increase in plant value increases the share a new customer pays to connect to the
existing infrastructure. All three piped utilities have completed a number of capital
improvement projects that added significant capacity to their infrastructure. These
investments by the utilities are the major factor in the increased connection charges for
2021 and 2022. Table 3 shows a comparison of system development charges for
neighboring utilities. Renton still has very low connection charges compared to the rest
of the region.
CONCLUSION:
Implementing the proposed 2021 and 2022 revenue requirements will allow the utilities
to continue to reduce reliance on debt, stabilize rates, invest in existing infrastructure to
prevent deterioration, failure, and/or lapse in service and complete capital
improvement programs critical to the city’s Business Plan while maintaining adopted
fund reserve levels. The proposed system development charges reflect the increase in
the value of the system and provide funding for capital projects to increase system
capacity requested by growth.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Agreement with BHC Consultants LLC for the Burnett Avenue South
and Williams Avenue South Water Quality Retrofit Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Amanda Pierce, Surface Water Utility Engineer
EXT.: 7205
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The approved 2020 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget for the Burnett Avenue South
and Williams Avenue South Water Quality Retrofit Project (427.475517) is $467,628, which includes $277,500
of grant funding through a Department of Ecology Storm Water Quality Grant. The Surface Water Utility has
requested a budget adjustment of $100,000, as part of the 2020 year-end budget adjustment, to increase the
total project budget to $567,628, which will provide sufficient funding for this agreement in the amount of
$493,533.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Burnett Avenue South and Williams Avenue South drainage area consists of 14 acres of mixed -use and is
served by a 12-inch concrete outfall to the Cedar River. The existing storm water system does not provide
sufficient capacity (level of service is less than the 10-year event) or water quality treatment. The Cedar River
at the outfall is listed in the Department of Ecology 303(d) for impaired water bodies as severely impaired,
under multiple categories. In May 2017 a flood event caused the existing 8 -inch storm system in Burnett
Avenue South to become surcharged and caused flooding of the street and adjacent private properties. The
2018 Downtown Utility Improvement Project Conceptual Design Report verified the cause of flooding to be a
lack of capacity within the system. This project includes the design of an improved storm water conveyance
system, to reduce the risk of flooding, and a water quality treatment system to treat runoff from Williams
Avenue South and Burnett Avenue South.
Following a review of statements of qualification and interviews, BHC Consultants LLC was selected as the
most qualified firm to provide consulting services for the project under city policy 250 -02. Services to be
provided consist of project management, data collectio n and assessment, surveying, geotechnical engineering,
environmental assessment and review, cultural resources, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, water quality
analysis, permitting support, grant funding support, 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% design and reportin g.

to the Work shall be ordered by the City in writing and the Compensation shall be
equitably adjusted consistent with the rates set forth in Exhibit B or as otherwise mutually

in which Work is performed, the Consultant shall submit a voucher or invoice in a form
specified by the City, including a description of what Work has been performed, the
name of the personnel performing such Work, and any hourly labor charge rate for
such personnel. The Consultant shall also submit a final bill upon completion of all
Work. Payment shall be made by the City for Work performed within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt and approval by the appropriate City representative of the
voucher or invoice. If the Consultant’s performance does not meet the requirements
of this Agreement, the Consultant will correct or modify its performance to comply
with the Agreement. The City may withhold payment for work that does not meet the
requirements of this Agreement.
C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver by
the City of any remedies it may have against the Consultant for failure of the
Consultant to perform the Work or for any breach of this Agreement by the
Consultant.
D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated for
payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not be
obligated to make payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the
current fiscal period, and this Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all
remaining Work for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to
the City in the event this provision applies.
5. Termination:
A. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without
cause by giving ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Consultant in writing. In the event
of such termination or suspension, all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies,
worksheets, models and reports, or other material prepared by the Consultant
pursuant to this Agreement shall be submitted to the City, if any are required as part
of the Work.
B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Consultant shall be entitled
to payment for all hours worked to the effective date of termination, less all payments
previously made. If the Agreement is terminated by the City after partial performance
of Work for which the agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the City shall pay the
Consultant an equitable share of the fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the
City from seeking any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be
deducted from the final payment due the Consultant. No payment shall be made by
the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the effective date of
termination unless authorized in advance in writing by the City.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
City of Renton
Burnett Ave S & Williams Ave S Water Quality Retrofit
September 25, 2020
Statement of Understanding
This scope of services presents a work program for field investigations, preliminary engineering, and 100% contract
documents for the City of Renton (City) Burnett Ave S & Williams Ave S Water Quality Retrofit project (project). The
City has received funding from the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) through a Stormwater
Financial Assistance Program (SFAP) grant for this project, specifically for the retrofit design of water quality
treatment devices. The City of Renton, in conjunction with the Ecology grant, plans to complete the design for
retrofitting water quality treatment facilities to the urbanized Burnett Ave South and Williams Ave South drainage area
and upgrade the existing storm water conveyance infrastructure.
The project is located in downtown Renton, along Burnett Ave S and Williams Ave S, north of S 2nd Street, and south
of the Cedar River. The project area is zoned for residential and light commercial properties. The project area has
experienced flooding of an apartment building along Burnett Ave S. Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the project
system, conducted in 2018 as part of the City’s Downtown Utility Improvements Project, indicated insufficient
stormwater conveyance capacity and surface flooding within the project area. This analysis also indicated that the
existing stormwater outfall to the Cedar River is undersized. There are currently no water quality treatment facilities
along the project corridor. Due to undersized stormwater pipes and capacity limitations, the existing stormwater
system is inadequate and does not meet the City’s current surface water design standards.
The scope identifies the engineering services to be performed by BHC Consultants, LLC (BHC) and the following
subconsultants:
Kleinfelder, geotechnical engineering and hydrogeologic analysis.
Transportation Engineering NorthWest (TENW), traffic control plans and right-of-way improvements.
DHA Surveyors (DHA), topographic survey.
The Watershed Company (Watershed), environmental assessment and environmental permit support.
Cascadia Archaeology (Cascadia), cultural resources services.
APS Utility Locate (APS), utility potholing.
Scope of Services

Task 300 – Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses
300.1 Hydrology
This task will include revisiting the Downtown Utility Improvement Project (DUIP) hydrology modeling previously
completed by BHC. BHC will extend the previous modeling work conducted within the “Williams subbasin,” which
includes the project area. We will delineate the tributary area to each water quality facility, define facility subbasin
characteristics, and compute peak storm flows for the 2-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year storms. Based on the project
summary prepared by the City, there are approximately 15 locations for potential water quality treatment facilities that
will be considered during the alternatives analysis phase of this project. Water quality design flow rates and volumes
will be calculated for each potential water quality treatment facility. The hydrologic modeling platform for water
quality design will be Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) or MGS Flood. The Santa Barbara Urban
Hydrograph (SBUH) will be used to determine peak flows for conveyance system evaluation and design.
AGENDA ITEM #6. f)
City of Renton 6 Burnett Ave S & Williams Ave S Water Quality Retrofit
Scope of Services
The Williams subbasin is presently developed; therefore, existing conditions based on current zoning, land use, and
cover will be evaluated to create one hydrologic model scenario to represent existing conditions.
BHC will identify potential areas that might be contributing stormwater runoff to the project area. This will be done
using GIS and updated survey data from Task 200.2, through field observation, and by reviewing as-builts and other
available information.
300.2 Hydraulics
This task will include revisiting the DUIP hydraulic modeling previously completed by BHC. BHC will extend the
previous work within the Williams subbasin by:
Evaluating additional as-built information, condition assessment information from Task 200.1, and survey
data from Task 200.2 and updating the existing XPSWMM model.
Reviewing backwater calculations to establish downstream boundary conditions and evaluate potential
backwater effects within the existing storm system based on design storms computed in Task 300.1.
Hydraulic modeling will be conducted using XPSWMM.
Coordinating with City O&M staff to confirm model results and areas of flood concern.
Developing conveyance system alternatives, including:
o An upstream detention alternative to replacing the outfall based on the stormwater outfall condition
assessment (Task 200.1).
o A new conveyance system alignment along Burnett and Williams to provide a high-flow bypass for
the new water quality treatment units.
o Complete retrofit of the storm system to allow for the new water quality treatment units and an
upsized trunk conveyance system along the existing stormwater alignment.
Working with the City to make recommendations on the preferred conveyance system layout.
Preparing hydraulic calculations to support the Design Report, Task 300.5.
300.3 River Modeling
The typical water surface elevation of the Cedar River at the stormwater outfall was determined during the DUIP as a
boundary condition of the XPSWMM model. This boundary condition will be adopted for conveyance system
modeling needed for this design.
For the outfall design, the 100-year return period water surface elevation, flow, and velocity at the outfall will be
determined from existing HEC-RAS models and reports provided by the City. BHC will complete a brief scour
analysis and riprap sizing determination based on this existing 100-year flow and velocity information.
300.4 Water Quality
Approximately three water quality treatment technologies, discussed below, will be evaluated to determine the most
feasible configuration for use in the public right-of-way. Options will need to be evaluated for retrofit based on
existing infrastructure, landscaping, structures, utilities, right-of-way boundaries, soil and groundwater characteristics,
and spatial constraints, as well as cost and maintenance requirements. The City has preliminarily identified
approximately 15 locations for potential water quality facilities within the project area.
Water quality facilities will address the Cedar River TMDLs downstream (Category 5 for pH, temperature, and
dissolved oxygen (DO, and Category 2 for mercury). Enhanced Runoff Treatment Best Management Practices
(BMPs) will need to be chosen and designed to reduce impacts from Total Suspended Solids (TSS), oil
hydrocarbons, dissolved copper, dissolved zinc, and total phosphorus. Water quality treatment BMPs could include
bioretention, cartridge filter units, or Filterra-type units, or other TAPE approved General Use Level Designation
AGENDA ITEM #6. f)
City of Renton 7 Burnett Ave S & Williams Ave S Water Quality Retrofit
Scope of Services
(GULD) devices. Sizing will be conducted using WWHM or MGS Flood and follow the 2017 City of Renton Surface
Water Design Manual.
Up to three alternative water quality treatment scenarios are anticipated. One alternative would include
approximately 15 small-footprint water quality facilities at approximately the locations identified by the City in their
Project Summary. These BMPs could include Filterra units or similar. A second alternative may include
approximately 4 larger facilities and take a more regional approach. A third alternative may include a quantity in the
middle of the range. BHC will work with the City to identify alternatives and make recommendations on water quality
facility types and configurations to be carried forward into the 30% design.
300.5 Stormwater Alternatives Review Meeting
Prior to the 30% design phase, brief alternative handouts will be prepared to provide an overview of the conceptual
design and aid in making design decisions. This alternative summary will include a map figure and a table showing
locations and tabulating sizes of water quality facility recommendations. It will also consider a potential underground
detention system alternative in lieu of replacing the outfall, and potential conveyance alignments. BHC will attend a
review meeting with the City to review the alternatives and select a preferred alternative. After the review meeting,
BHC will prepare a brief summary memorandum, figure, and/or table presenting water quality BMP sizes,
conveyance routes, and outfall replacement/detention facility locations to document the selected alternative. This
preferred alternative will form the basis of the 30% design.
300.6 Design Report
The Design Report will document the project needs, background information, proposed water quality facility design
criteria, and proposed outfall design criteria, to meet the requirements of the Ecology funding agreement and City of
Renton 2017 Surface Water Design Manual. The report will accompany the 30% design drawings showing the
preliminary location of water quality facilities, conveyance improvements, outfall replacement and/or detention, and
the proposed streambank restoration/protection. The Design Report will be submitted in draft and final format. The
final version of the Design Report will address the City’s comments and be submitted to Ecology for review.
Task 300 Assumptions:
Based on the summary, figure, and table developed prior to the 30% design phase, BHC will attend one 2-
hour review meeting with the City to select the preferred alternatives. Three BHC staff members will attend
the review meeting.
BHC will prepare a brief summary to document the selected alternative after the Drainage Alternatives
Review Meeting.
Hydrologic modeling platform will be Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM) or MGS Flood.
Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph (SBUH) will be used to determine peak flows for conveyance system
evaluation and design.
One existing condition hydraulic model scenario will be developed. Hydraulic calculations will be performed
using the updated XPSWMM model.
BHC will review 2 conveyance alternatives and 3 water quality treatment facility alternatives.
The City will provide current HEC-RAS models and/or reports for the Cedar River at the outfall location for
BHC to use in determining the 100-year water surface elevation, flow, and velocity.
BHC will perform one (1) site visit to field verify the drainage basin boundary delineations.
AGENDA ITEM #6. f)
City of Renton 8 Burnett Ave S & Williams Ave S Water Quality Retrofit
Scope of Services
Task 300 Deliverables:
A brief summary memorandum, figure, and/or table presenting water quality BMP sizes, conveyance routes,
and outfall replacement/detention facility locations will be prepared prior to the 30% design submittal to
document the selected alternative from the Drainage Alternatives Review Meeting.
The draft Design Report will be submitted (PDF format) along with the 30% design submittal. The revised
version will address the City’s comments and be submitted to Ecology for review. The final version will
address Ecology’s comments and be submitted (PDF format) along with the 60% design submittal.
The following portion of the Scope of Work assumes that a stormwater outfall replacement will be designed and
permitted. If the outfall is not replaced in the selected alternative, the scope of services will be revised to reflect the
preferred alternative. At this time, we anticipate the outfall design to be somewhat more complex and take longer to
design and permit than an option to install an upstream detention system; however, this assumes that there is
adequate room for a detention system in the existing right-of-way.
Task 400 – Design
Work under this task includes the development and preparation of 100% contract documents. Bid documents to be
used for public advertisement and construction by a general contractor are not included in this scope. Permits for the

areas and their buffers, if possible. Watershed will complete a Critical Areas Report (CAR) to outline how the project
meets Renton critical areas and Shoreline Master Plan (SMP) regulatory requirements, if required.
In addition, the City will lead and coordinate Environmental Review documents and prepare local Land Use and
Shoreline permit applications for the City Planning Department. BHC will support the City with technical input and
review of the Environmental Review documents. BHC will prepare a design report (Task 300.6) that will also function
and follow the template and requirements of a Technical Information Report (TIR). The scope and fee for
Watershed’s environmental services are included in Exhibit F.
Task 500 Assumptions:
Review by Ecology will occur at the 30% and 90% levels of design, per the Grant funding agreement.
The City will act as SEPA Lead Agency.
The Design Report will be sufficient for the City of Renton permitting requirement for a TIR.
City will pay fees for advertisement in publications and all permit applications.
City will coordinate with newspapers for public advertisements.
BHC will coordinate Environmental Review documents and attend a pre-application meeting for permitting
and SEPA with City Planning Department.

Task 700 – Management Reserve
It is difficult to accurately predict issues that may arise during the design. Task 700 is included to provide a
contingency fund for unanticipated and unidentified work. It is specifically included so that the City may quickly
authorize BHC to perform additional work under this contract for scope changes that the City determines to be
necessary. Funds under this task shall not be used without prior written approval from the City.
Schedule
We understand the importance and need for working closely with City staff to perform our work efficiently and
complete our efforts in a timely manner. We are able to begin work upon receipt of a signed contract and Notice to
Proceed. With the City’s authorization, we will begin our work and proceed in a timely manner with a target
submitting Federal permits in April of 2021, to meet a 100% Contract Documents completion of December 2022.
This schedule is based on timely input and information from City staff and others including the collection of requisite
information and documentation, staff input, and feedback regarding draft documents or other project matters.
The project schedule attached as Exhibit H represents our understanding of the City’s preferred timeline for this
project. Once under contract, BHC will work with the City to establish milestone dates for the various deliverables to
meet this schedule.

89. Special Review Criteria for Variances from Flood Hazard
Requirements in the Critical Areas Regulations: In lieu of the variance criteria of
subsection B56 of this Section, the following directives and criteria shall be utilized
in the review of variance applications related to the flood hazard requirements of
the critical areas regulations:
a. Purpose and Intent: Variances, as interpreted in the national flood
insurance program, are based on the general zoning law principle that they pertain
to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain
to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. They
primarily address small lots in densely populated residential neighborhoods. As
such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite rare.
b. Review Criteria: In passing upon such an application for a variance,
the following review criteria shall be considered:
i. Consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards
specified in other sections of this Section; and:
(a) The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to
the injury of others;
(b) The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion
damage;
(c) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to
flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner;
AGENDA ITEM # 8. d)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
25
(d) The importance of the services provided by the proposed
facility to the community;
(e) The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where
applicable;
(f) The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use
which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
(g) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and
anticipated development;
(h) The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive
plan and flood plain management program for that area;
(i) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for
ordinary and emergency vehicles;
(j) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and
sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if
applicable, expected at the site; and
(k) The costs of providing governmental services during and
after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and
facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges.
ii. Generally, the only condition under which a variance from the
elevation standard may be issued is for new construction and substantial
improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half (1/2) acre or less in size
contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below
AGENDA ITEM # 8. d)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
26
the base flood level, provided criteria in subsection B89b(i) of this Section have
been fully considered. As the lot size increases, the technical justification required
for issuing the variance increases.
iii. Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very
limited circumstances to allow a lesser degree of floodproofing than watertight or
dry floodproofing, where it can be determined that such action will have low
damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except subsections
B89b(ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section, and otherwise complies with RMC 4-3-050I2a
and I2b of the general standards.
iv. Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation,
or restoration of structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the
State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in
this Section.
v. Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any
increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
vi. Variances shall only be issued upon:
(a) A showing of good and sufficient cause;
(b) A determination that failure to grant the variance would
result in exceptional hardship to the applicant;
(c) A determination that the granting of a variance will not
result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary
AGENDA ITEM # 8. d)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
27
public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or
conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
(d) A determination that the variance is the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
c. Conditions of Approval: Upon consideration of the factors of
subsection B89b of this Section, and the purposes of this Section, conditions may
be attached to the granting of variances if deemed necessary to further the
purposes of this Section.
d. Notice Required upon Variance Approval: Any applicant to whom a
variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be
permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation
and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk
resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
e. Records: The Administrator shall maintain the records of all variance
actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon
request.
910. Special Review Criteria – Steep Slopes Forty Percent (40%) or
Greater and Very High Landslide Hazards: For variance requests to alter steep
slopes over forty percent (40%) or greater and very high landslide hazard areas
and their associated setbacks, the following criteria shall apply:

critical areas on adjacent properties; and
d. The need for the variance is not the result of actions of the applicant
or property owner; and
e. The proposal does not create or increase a risk to the public health,
safety, and welfare, or to public or private property; and
f. If the Administrator approves a variance under this subsection, the
following conditions of approval, among others, may be imposed:
i. The recommendations of the geotechnical report are followed;
ii. Project plans shall be reviewed and sealed by a geotechnical
engineer or the geotechnical engineer shall submit a sealed letter stating that they
have reviewed the plans and in their opinion the plans and specifications meet the
intent of the geotechnical report; and
