ANNEXATION & ZONING PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX
April 6, 2009
The City is in receipt of a 60% Direct Petition from property owners in the proposed
Earlington Annexation area. Under RCW 35A.14.120, direct petitions to annex are
required to have signatures representing at least 60% of the area's assessed value. The
King County Department of Assessments certified the signatures on the petition on
February 2, 2009.
The 100.8-acre potential annexation area is located in the City's Potential Annexation
Area near the northeastern portion of the City limits. It is bounded by the existing City
limits to the south, east, and portions of the north. South 130th Street and South 132" d
Street also run to the north and 80th Avenue South and South Langston Road are to the
west.
The area is currently designated with the King County Comprehensive Plan designation
of Urban Residential Medium 4 — 12 dwelling units per acre. The existing King County
zoning in the area is R-6, R-10, and R-12 which allows six, ten, and twelve dwelling units
per gross acre. The City of Renton Comprehensive Plan designation for the area is
Residential Single Family (RSF) and Residential Medium Density (RMD). The City of
Renton is proposing to supplant the County R-6 zoning with Renton R-8 zoning, the
County R-8 zoning with Renton R-10 zoning, and the County R-12 zoning with Renton
R-14 zoning. All of the Renton zoning designations correspond to the Renton
Comprehensive Plan designations in the area. The Renton zoning would become upon
annexation.
Council is holding this Public Hearing in order to give affected parties the opportunity to
comment about the proposed annexation, as well as about the proposed zoning. Also at
this meeting, Council will decide whether it wishes to accept the 60% Direct Petition to
annex and whether or not it will authorize the Administration to forward a Notice of
Intent to Annex package to the Boundary Review Board for King County to begin their
mandatory 45-day review.

For the purpose of constructing, reconstructing, installing, repairing, replacing, enlarging, operating and
maintaining utilities and utility pipelines, including, but not limited to, water, sewer and storm drainage
lines, together with the right of ingress and egress thereto without prior institution of any suit or
proceedings of law and without incurring any legal obligation or liability therefore. Following the initial
construction of its facilities, Grantee may from time to time construct such additional facilities as it may
require. This easement is granted subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The Grantee shall, upon completion of any work within the property covered by the easement,
restore the surface of the easement, and any private improvements disturbed or destroyed during
execution of the work, as nearly as practicable to the condition they were in immediately before
commencement of the work or entry by the Grantee.
2. Grantor shall retain the right to use the surface of the easement as long as such use does not
interfere with the easement rights granted to the Grantee. Grantor shall not, however, have the right to:
a. Erect or maintain any buildings or structures within the easement; or
b. Plant trees, shrubs or vegetation having deep root patterns which may cause damage to or
interfere with the utilities to be placed within the easement by the Grantee; or
c. Develop, landscape, or beautify the easement area in any way which would unreasonably
increase the costs to the Grantee of restoring the easement area and any private improvements therein.
d. No digging, tunneling, or other form of construction activities shall be done on the property

RECEIPED
CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to appeal the decision of the planning department for the denial of the
variances that was proposed in order to maintain the house on lot 3 and the landscaping variance. It
has become necessary for us to keep the house to cope with the changes taking place in the real
estate market. We have looked at other options as well including the possibility of moving the house
and removing a portion of the house to meet the set back requirement. Both of these options are Apo
costly and would place a huge financial burden, and also it will be a huge disruption to the day to
day lives of my family since the house is our current residence.
Removing the house will make this project unprofitable since the project development cost will
remain almost the same but the revenue will be significantly decreased. As both options currently
stand, it will be more beneficial for us to discontinue this project in its entirety due to the lack of
revenue.
We feel that the following revision to the site plan will help elevate some of our financial burden
and help us to go forward with the project.
1. Keep house on lot 3
House currently meets setback requirements but after the dedication as required by the City of 20
feet off Queen Ave NE the house will no longer meet this requirement. However, if the house is
ever demolished then any new house built will be subject to the setback requirements in place at
that time and we would be willing to comply with the city codes for building setback.
Another critical issue that our project will address for the City is the public safety hazard that exists
due to the lack of walkway on Queen Ave NE & 60' St. The completion of our project will lead to a
walkway for the pedestrians in the area which includes the kids being dropped off after school at the
cross junction of 6t' St and Queen Ave NE. Currently our property is not fenced and we have
pedestrians using it to limit the risk of walking on the narrow Queen Ave NE road. We have had
several residents explain that their use of our property is mandated because a walkway does not
exist on NE 6`h or Queen Ave NE. The current traffic is a concern for my family because we have
unknown individuals on our property at any given time. We have restrained from placing a fence
because of the kids who will be affected by this action. We have inquired with the City regarding
any plans to eliminate this safety hazard and we were notified that there currently are no plans in the
works due to lack of funding.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the proposed changes. We would welcome
any City official to our site to visually explain our proposal and demonstrate the public safety
hazard identified. We would like to work with the City to ensure a solution is reached for the best
interest of our neighbors, the City and us.
Sincerely,
Kushal Varma & Kajal Ram

Kushal Varma, Owner (Appellant)
Tom Touma, Engineer
The Examiner stated that there are two variances; front yard landscaping and front yard setback. The short plat
was approved subject to removal of a house that violated setback standards and would not be able to comply
with the landscape standards along the frontage of the property.
Kushal Varma stated that the existing house is his current residence. Removing the house would create a
hardship on his family. The way the house is currently sitting, it does meet the 20-foot setback, but with the
improvement on the Queen Avenue side, they would no longer be in compliance. The staff suggested that the
house could be moved to meet the requirements but that would create a bigger financial burden and it is not
feasible for them to move the house or his family.
Ms. Timmons stated that the house does meet the north side yard setback and the required setback on Queen is
15-feet for the primary structure.
Mr. Varma further stated that there is no garage in the front -facing Queen, the parking is located at the rear of the
house. On completion of this particular project all the neighbors will be served with sidewalk and a wider road,
which will allow pedestrian traffic more room. NE 6'h and Queen do not currently have sidewalks. There are
school busses that drop off children on NE 60' and there currently is no place for the children to walk, they use
his driveway as a sidewalk. He showed a set of five photos with the roadway, school busses and children
walking.
Upon questioning by Ms. Nielsen, Mr. Varna stated that the short plat was originally approved subject to the
removal of the house in question today. They have changed some of the windows and painted the house. This
was done with full knowledge that the house might have to be removed. The hardship would be financial as well
as having to move his family from the house.
In the appeal letter, Mr. Varma stated that removing the house would make the project unprofitable, the
development costs would remain the same but the revenue would be significantly decreased. He is trying to not
lose more money on this development.
Mr. Touma stated that they would like to keep the house until such time when the economy is in a better place,
based on economics, this move would greatly impact the family. The house is.50 years old and would need to be
removed or refurbished.
The Examiner stated that the premise for the application initially was that this house would be removed. It was a
condition that the applicant came in with in order to get the short plat processed and approved.
Ms. Nielsen moved for a summary judgment insofar as the appellant has failed to meet his burden to overcome .
the City's determination at this point. Case law supports that strain or financial burden is generally ruled out.
The Examiner denied the dismissal.
Ms. Timmons entered a list of exhibits, which showed the exterior wall for the chimney on the existing home and
its location to the property line, a line on a photograph showing where the sidewalk would be located and a third
photo showing a tree that is part of the subject site. The property protrudes into NE 6"' and Queen Avenue N quite
a distance.
Mr. Varma stated that the chimney has now been removed.

no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 11:18 am.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
The appellants, Kursal Varma and Kajal Ram, fled an appeal of the denials of two variances from the Zoning
Code. The appellant seeks to retain an existing home that would provide an approximately 3.2 foot front yard
and insufficient room for a required five (5) foot landscape strip.
2. The appeal was filed in a timely manner.
3. The subject site is located at 3629 NE 6"' Street in the City of Renton. The property is located on the
southwest corner of the intersection of NE 6th Street and Queen Avenue NE.
4. The appellant has proposed to subdivide an approximately 44,432 square foot parcel into six lots. Proposed
Lot 1 would be a corner lot at Queen and NE 6th. Proposed Lot 2 would be west of Proposed Lot 1. Proposed
Lots 3 to 6 would span the lot in an east to west direction with Proposed Lot 3 immediately south of
Proposed Lots 1 and 2. Proposed Lot 3 would front along Queen Avenue NE.
There is an existing home on the subject site. That home is located on what would be Proposed Lot 3.
6. The proposed plat was altered in response to a requirement to preserve significant trees and to accommodate
right-of-way dedications. As part of the original application and plat the appellant agreed to remove the
existing home since it would intrude into a required front yard setback and required landscape strip along
Queen Avenue NE.
7. Code requires a 15-foot setback along Queen as well as a five-foot landscape strip. The home would be
situated approximately 3.2 feet from the street or 11.8 feet less than the required 15 feet. The 3.2-foot
'setback would also mean the lot could not provide the required five feet of landscaping along Queen.
The proposed plat was approved with the understanding that the non -conforming home would be removed.
The plans showed its proposed removal.
Somewhere in the interim between application and the filing of the appeal, the appellant and his family
moved into the non -conforming residence. Subsequent to the approval of the plat the appellant also applied
for variances to allow less than the required 15 foot front yard and less than the required five feet of
landscaping along the frontage, proposing instead to provide 3.2 of front yard setback and similar landscaping
depth.
10. The appellant alleges that the plat cannot be profitably developed if the existing home is demolished and
moving his family out of the home would be a hardship. The allegations are that providing the required
yard and landscaping would create an undue hardship. In order to accommodate the yard and landscaping,
the appellant alleges that the home would either have to be demolished or moved. The appellant alleges
that the economics of the situation and inconvenience of moving would create an undue hardship that the
variances would put right.
Walgreen's Sign Appeal
LUA-08-136, V-A
February 24, 2009
Page 4
11. Staff found that the applicant did not suffer undue hardship due to any special circumstance related to lot's
size, shape or topography. They found that the appellant either has reasonable use of the site in its cun-ent
condition, with one conforming home or that, dividing the site according to code provides a reasonable use
of the subject site even if the existing home has to be removed or relocated. Staff found that approving either
variance would grant the appellant a special privilege not afforded to other similarly located property in that
zone.
12. The appellant moved into the home after beginning this process. Any claim of inconvenience was created
by the appellant's actions knowing the home was to be demolished as part of his submitted plat application.
13. Variance Criteria are contained in Section 4-9.250B.5:
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special
circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found to
deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the
vicinity and under identical zone classification;
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is
situated;
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation
upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated;
d. That the approval as determined by the Reviewing Official is a minimum variance that will
accomplish the desired purpose. (Amd. Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000)
CONCLUSIONS:
The appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the decision of the City Official was either in error,
or was otherwise contrary to law or constitutional provisions, or was arbitrary and capricious
(Section 4-8-110(E)(7)(b). The appellant has not demonstrated that the action of the City should be
reversed. The appeal is denied.
2. Arbitrary and capricious action has been defined as willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the
facts and circumstances. A decision, when exercised honestly and upon due consideration of the facts
and circumstances, is not arbitrary or capricious (Northern Pacific Transport Co. v Washington Utilities
and .Transportation Commission, 69 Wn. 2d 472, 478 (1966).
3. An action is likewise clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing body,
on the entire evidence, is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.
(Ancheta v Daly, 77 Wn. 2d 255, 259 (1969). An appellant body should not necessarily substitute its
judgment for the underlying agency with expertise in a matter unless appropriate.
4. The decision to deny the variances was appropriate. As has been said many times before, a variance is
not appropriate unless it meets all of the criteria and not just one or two criteria. Another issue to
emphasize is that economic issues are not considered in dealing with a variance. There must be a physical
limitation and not a fiscal limitation that deprives the applicant of reasonable use of the property. The
Walgreen's Sign Appeal
LUA-08-136, V-A
February 24, 2009
Page 5
applicant voluntarily entered into this plat process and as part of that application, the applicant agreed
that the existing home would have to be removed or, at least, modified in some fashion. The home's
location would violate current Zoning provisions by providing substantially less than the required front
yard along a street and not providing the required five-foot landscape strip. The applicant can readily
divide the lot according to current zoning standards and create reasonably sized lots and construct homes
on those lots. In no way does the Zoning Code deprive the appellant of rights and privileges enjoyed by
other property owners in the vicinity.
Will having to move out of the home be an inconvenience? Certainly. Will having to demolish a reasonable
home be economically distressful? Probably, although in return the applicant creates additional saleable lots.
The profit might be less but that is the applicant/appellant's choice. When the platting process began, the
appellant did not reside in the home and so made a choice that should not affect City Zoning regulations.
The failure to provide the required front yard setback might not appear to create any hardship but a standard
setback along a street frontage is generally maintained. It provides an open appearance and allows those
at their front door or in their front yard to scan the streetscape on either side. The setback also removes the
home from immediate traffic impacts of noise and fumes. The concept of a standard setback is so consistent
in code that homes located on corner lots are generally required to provide the setback along both street
frontages so neighbors, again, have sightlines that are not visually interrupted by homes where a front yard
should be located.
Approval of either of these variances would be a grant of special privilege. Almost every new plat is based
on the redevelopment of existing underlying plats and/or lots. In many of those cases existing homes are
poorly located in terms of setbacks or yard requirements vis-a-vis new or existing code standards. In all
those cases the applicants agree to remove or relocate those homes to conform with current zoning. This
is almost so routine as to be a known standard. If the appellant were given a variance or variances all of
those similarly situated, that is those redeveloping lots, would equally demand to retain non -conforming
structures. Approving these variances would create an undue precedent and a special privilege.
Is this the minimum variance to provide reasonable use of the subject site? The appellant would appear to
be dictating the standards by insisting the home must remain where it is. Obviously, if the appellant is not
willing to alter or move the existing home, the minimum variance relief is the full extent of the yard reduction.
In this case, there is no way that the applicant can vary its construction or location to allow a smaller deviation
from the Code standards. But no variance is really necessary toallow.reasonable use of the subject site.
9. The decision below was appropriate. In order for a variance to be approved it must satisfy all four (4)
criteria. It is not sufficient to satisfy one or another of the criteria or even three of the criteria. There
is no undue hardship. The appellant has reasonable use of the subject site. The economics of the situation
were appropriately disregarded by staff, as was the supposed inconvenience in having to move or relocate
the appellant's family. This appellant applied for the underlying plat knowing full well the home would
have to be removed or moved so any hardship was created by the appellant, not the imposition of the
regulations. Under those circumstances staff could not approve the variances and their decision should stand.
10. The decision below should not be reversed without a clear showing that the decision is clearly erroneous or
arbitrary and capricious. This office has found that the decision below was sound and the decision below is
affirmed.
ELISION:
The decision is affirmed and the appeal is denied.

fhe 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.

SUBJECT: Multi -Family Housing Property Tax Exemption Agreement —
Liberty Square Apartments
ISSUE:
In January 2009, the City received a Multi -Family Housing Property Tax Exemption
("Exemption") application for the Liberty Square Apartments project in the Downtown designated
residential targeted area. As provided for in RMC 4-1-220, the Department of Community &
Economic Development (CED) Administrator needs to approve or deny the Exemption application
within 90 days of receipt of the application and, if approved, the applicant must enter into an
agreement approved by the Council that addresses the terms and conditions for the Liberty Square
Apartments project to receive a partial property tax exemption. Subject to the Council's approval
of the agreement, the CED Administrator intends to approve the Exemption application for the
Liberty Square Apartments project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council: (1) approve the Exemption Agreement that addresses the
terms and conditions for the Liberty Square Apartments project to receive a partial property tax
exemption; and (2) authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said agreement in substantially
the same form.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
As authorized by Chapter 84.14 RCW, the Council established the Multi -Family Housing Property
Tax Exemption in 2003 (codified in RMC 4-1-220) to encourage multi -family housing
development in the following (subsequently modified) designated residential targeted areas:

Multi -Family Housing Property Tax Exemption
Agreement — Liberty Square Apartments

Highlands: Within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation: Center Village (CV)
zone, Residential Multi -Family (RM-F) zone, or Residential 10 du/ac (R-10) zone
Downtown: Center Downtown (CD) zone, Residential Multi -Family Urban Center (RM-U)
zone, or Residential Multi -Family Traditional (RM-T) zone
As provided for in Chapter 84.14 RCW and RMC 4-1-220, the Exemption provision currently
allows the value of qualified new housing construction to be exempt from ad valorem property tax
for eight to twelve years depending upon when the project applied for the exemption and whether
the project provides at least 20% of the units as affordable housing. However, the exemption does
not include the value of the land, existing improvements, or non -housing -related improvements
(e.g., commercial space). The exemption applies to all levels of the ad valorem property tax,
including the local jurisdiction, county, state, and all local taxing districts. The exemption is in
addition to any other tax credits, grants, or incentives provided by law for the multi -family
housing.
The Liberty Square Apartments was completed in 2008 and received a certificate of occupancy on
September 15, 2008. As authorized by Ordinance 5427 and approved by the Renton City Council
on November 10, 2008, the City received an Exemption application for the Liberty Square
Apartments project on January 28, 2009. The Liberty Square Apartments project is a residential
rental project located at 415 and 417 Williams Avenue S (at the northwest corner of S 5t" Street
and Williams Avenue S) in Downtown Renton. The property consists of two four-story residential
structures built on a landscaped podium above one-story of street -level structured parking. The
project includes 92 apartment units, 139,317 square feet of residential space, and 123 structured
parking spaces. All 92 housing units at the Liberty Square Apartments are set aside for
households at or below 60% of the King county area median income. As such, the project
qualifies for the 12-year (rather than the eight -year) property tax exemption.
The estimated potential property tax savings related to the Exemption are approximately $95,193
per year ($1,142,321 total for the 12-year period) for the Liberty Square Apartments project. This
equates to a potential property tax savings of approximately $1,035 per year per housing unit
($12,417 total per housing unit for the 12-year period).
The City of Renton's portion of the above estimated potential property tax savings related to the
Exemption is approximately $22,984 per year ($275,810 total for the 12-year period) for the
Liberty Square Apartments project. Although the City will receive property tax revenue from the
assessed value for the land, the City will not receive property tax revenue from the residential
improvements until after the 12-year property tax exemption period.
As part of the City's Exemption application, applicants are invited to comment on whether the
ability to obtain a property tax exemption for their project made a difference in their decision to
develop the project. For the Liberty Square Apartments project, the applicant noted:
"Yes, a property tax exemption is very helpful and will make a significant difference in
the project's financial feasibility."

Agreement — Liberty Square Apartments
March 30, 2009
Page 3 of 3
The project paid a $1,000 initial application fee and satisfies the City's Exemption eligibility
requirements as outlined in RMC 4-1-22OD:
• The multi -family housing units are located in one or more new buildings designed for
permanent residential occupancy, each with four or more dwelling units;
• The project is located in the Center Downtown (CD) zone as part of the Downtown
designated residential targeted area; and
• The project consists of a minimum of 30 dwelling units.
As provided for in RMC 4-1-220D, the CED Administrator intends to waive the requirement that
the housing units be located in a mixed -use development.
As provided for in RMC 4-1-220F, the CED Administrator needs to approve or deny the
Exemption application within 90 days of receipt and, if approved, the applicant must enter into an
agreement approved by the Council that addresses the terms and conditions for the Liberty Square
Apartments project to receive a partial property tax exemption upon completion. Subject to the
Council's approval of the agreement, the CED Administrator intends to approve the application
for the Liberty Square Apartments project. (Please see Attachment 3 for the proposed Exemption
Agreement for the Liberty Square Apartments project.)
The Liberty Square Apartments provides 92 units of affordable housing for households at or
below 60% of the King County area median income. The $18 million project is believed to be the
largest capital investment in the South Renton residential neighborhood in history. The Liberty
Square Apartments project significantly expands the housing opportunities in Downtown and
supports the City's revitalization efforts in Downtown Renton.
CONCLUSION:
Renton's Multi -Family Housing Property Tax Exemption program was established to help
increase housing opportunities in designated residential targeted areas, including Downtown
Renton. The Liberty Square Apartments project provides an additional 92 apartment units in
Downtown Renton and furthers the City's 2009-2014 Business Plan Goals.

of additional taxes, interest, and penalty pursuant to State law.
9. Cancellation of Exemption - Appeal._

Exemption if at any time the multi -family housing units, the Project, or the Property no

220, or for any other reason no longer qualifies for a property tax exemption.
b. If the property tax exemption is canceled for non-compliance, Applicant
acknowledges that state law requires that an additional real property tax is to be
imposed in the amount of: [i] the difference between the property tax paid and the
property tax that would have been paid if it had included the value of the nonqualifying
improvements, dated back to the date that the improvements became nonqualifying; [ii]
a penalty of 20% of the difference calculated under paragraph (i) of this paragraph 9b;
and [iii] interest at the statutory rate on delinquent property taxes and penalties,
calculated from the date the tax would have been due without penalty if the
improvements had been assessed without regard to the exemptions provided by
Chapter 84.14 RCW and RMC 4-1-220. Applicant acknowledges that, pursuant to RCW
84.14.110, any additional tax owed, together with interest and penalty, become a lien
on the Property and attach at the time the Property or portion of the Property is
removed from multi -family housing use, and that the lien has priority to and must be
fully paid and satisfied before a recognizance, mortgage, judgment, debt, obligation, or
responsibility to or with which the Property may become charged or liable. Applicant
further acknowledges that RCW 84.14.110 provides that any such lien may be
foreclosed in the manner provided by law for foreclosure of liens for delinquent real
property taxes.
C. Upon determining that a tax exemption is to be canceled, the
Administrator shall notify the property owner by certified mail, return receipt requested.
The property owner may appeal the determination in accordance with RMC 4-1-220L2.

F ACTION:
The City informed King County Metro in a letter dated April 2008 that Metro was not complying with
terms of the Lease with regards to parking spaces in the City Center Parking Garage. An Amendment
was approved by Council that addressed issues in the existing lease. The Amendment is scheduled to
expire on April 22"d, 2009. This Second Amendment resets the lease termination date to 12/31/09 and
continues the pricing terms of the First Amendment until then. Efforts to develop a longer term
market -based lease with King County Metro continue.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Second Lease Amendment with King County Metro to extend the termination date until
December 31", 2009 at the existing rates and conditions, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
sign the Amendment.

SUBJECT: Second Lease Amendment with King County Metro for the City
Center Parking Garage (CCPG)
Issue•
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign a Second Lease Amendment
with King County Metro for parking spaces at the CCPG?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Second Lease Amendment.
Background:
• In 2004, the City and King County Metro signed a Park-n-Ride Garage Agreement, LAG-04-
003 that provided a pricing structure and operational details for Metro's Transit Center users
to park in the CCPG.
• Accountability issues developed during that Lease.
• The City sent a letter to Metro in April 2008 that invoked the one-year termination clause and
offered to renegotiate a new contract with operational corrections and market -based pricing.
• An interim Amendment was created that included the following business points:
o Agreement on an absolute number of spaces for the duration, 250.
o Metro will pay for those 250 spaces, whether used or not, at the rate of $15 per
space per month.
o The lease termination date was set at April 22, 2009.
• Because of continuing budget shortfalls and complexities, Metro is not able to fairly
negotiate a new lease or replace the current parking spaces elsewhere at this time. They
requested an extension until their next budget cycle concludes toward the end of 2009.
Conclusion:
This Amendment provides the City with additional revenue during a fluctuating revenue period.

SUBJECT: 2009 Carry -forward Budget Amendment Ordinance
ISSUE
Should the 2009 budget be amended to authorize expenditures for projects started but not
completed in 2008 and to incorporate other adjustments identified herein?
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an ordinance amending the 2009 Budget to authorize the carry -forward of projects and
corresponding appropriations.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Each year Council is asked to consider an ordinance amending the current year's budget by
authorizing additional appropriations for projects that were authorized in the prior year's
budget but have not yet been completed. This is known as the carry -forward budget
amendment ordinance.
Except for four items listed below, all of the proposed carry -forward amounts relate to a
project that was budgeted in 2008 and or had been previously approved by the City Council.
These projects were not able to be completed in 2008, or final payments were not made during
2008. In order to complete the projects and to meet the City's financial obligations, the 2009
budget should be amended to include these amounts.
There are four items that were either not originally budgeted, and need to be addressed in the
2009 Budget; or the original 2009 budget is no longer projected to be sufficient, due to revised
expenditure estimates. These are:
• (000) Maintain staffing level at Kennydale Beach $15,000
This would restore the reductions made in 2009 budget in lifeguard hours to
2008 level at the Kennydale Beach.

Page 2 of 9
(000) Replace Lifeguard Tower at Coulon Beach Park $13,000
The existing lifeguard tower has reached the end of its life and is beyond repair
and is in need of replacement at this time.
• (316) City Facility Reconfiguration for BH Annexation $1,218,181
This is to complete the city facilities reconfiguration to accommodated staffing
increases which resulted from the Benson Hill Annexation. The project scope
was expanded to include police substations at the Transit Center, the move of
programs to the old City Hall, creating office space at the Liberty Park Building
and in Fire Station 13. These changes allowed the City to fully utilize its facility
resources and are the most cost effective way to accommodate the City's space
needs. The associated costs will be captured and charged back to the Annexation
Project for reimbursement from the state sales tax credit.
® (503) eGov Alliance membership —increase appropriation $50,000
The City has increased its subscription to various services provided by the eGov
Alliance, a consortium of most eastside cities that provide common web -based
service solutions to local governments. Switching from a subscription to
membership service would allow the City to speedup on-line service offers to our
businesses and residents, and to participate in future software development to
best meet the City's needs while avoiding the cost to acquire or develop our own
stand alone applications where applicable.
The amount of carry -forward adjustment totals $37,203,924, including $13,921,677 in
anticipated revenues and $23,194,345 in fund balances are also to be carried -forward from
2008 to 2009. A detailed list by fund is attached to this memo.
CONCLUSION
The 2009 budget amendments proposed are corrections to the original budget adoption
ordinance.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
For a number of years the City has been planning to construct the Lake Washington Trail South Lake
Connector, also known as the Sam Chastain Trail, linking the Cedar River Trail and the Lake
Washington Loop Trail. In July 2007, it became apparent that the trail could not be constructed with a
connection across the north edge of the Boeing plant. The City reviewed its options and decided that
constructing bicycle lanes on Logan Avenue North would achieve a significant benefit in the regional
trail system. The City has since finished Stage I by constructing a southbound bicycle lane to North
6th Street and Logan Avenue North. Stage II will complete the connection to the Cedar River Trail.
WHPacific will provide engineering design services for developing and evaluating alternatives for
providing a non -motorized connection from the vicinity of North 6th Street and Logan Avenue North
to the Cedar River Trail. A stakeholders group will be formed with members from the Public Works,
Community Services and Community and Economic Development departments and outside
stakeholders such as Boeing and the Renton School District to assist in the selection of the preferred
alternative.
The City has budgeted $1,165,795 in FY 2009 and FY 2010. The main revenue source for this project
is a federal grant of $1,030,795, with the remaining $135,000 coming from Fund 317.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the consultant agreement between WHPacific and the City
of Renton for developing and evaluating alternatives for providing a non -motorized connection from
North 6th Street and Logan Avenue North to the Cedar River Trail.

North to the Cedar River Trail. A stakeholders group will be formed with members from the Public
Works, Community Services and Community and Economic Development departments, and outside
stakeholders such as Boeing and the Renton School District to assist in the selection of the preferred
alternative.
The following four alternatives will be evaluated for this project: 1.) 5-foot bike lane each direction;
2.) a 10-12 foot multi -use path; 3.) re -striping of Logan Ave North to accommodate the bike lanes;
and 4.) using North 6th Street as an option.
Upon selection of preferred alternative, a supplemental scope of work will be prepared for
providing engineering services to prepare plans, specifications, estimate, final environmental
documentation, right-of-way acquisition and construction services.
The City of Renton has budgeted $1,165,795 in FY 2009 and FY 2010. The main revenue source
for this project is a federal grant of $1,030,795 with the remaining $135,000 coming from Fund

CONSULTANT, with the AGENCY'S concurrence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT, payment shall be made as
set forth in the second paragraph of this section.
Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any remedies of
any type it may have against the CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT, or for

AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act or
omission by the CONSULTANT.

Ground -level photographs will be obtained during the site visits for design references. The CITY will be
responsible for obtaining and maintaining right -of -entry permits for the CONSULTANT to enter properties
adjacent to the project.
3.0 Utility Coordination
The CONSULTANT will collect and review existing utility information pertinent to the project that is available
from the CITY. The CONSULTANT will contact utility companies to obtain existing utility plans. The data will
include existing and planned utility locations. No meetings with the Utilities are planned for this phase of work.
The anticipated utility companies involved are power, telephone, cable, and gas.
4.0 Environmental Review
Feasibility Screening and Alternative Evaluations
The CONSULTANT will prepare preliminary evaluation and cost estimates for permitting requirements,.
environmental considerations, and archeological requirements associated with the alternatives. CONSULTANT
will:
• Prepare a GIS-based map layer set that illustrates sensitive natural resources, including documented
wetlands, Cedar River, buffer zones associated with wetlands and the river, floodplains, Historic District
boundaries, and other potential constraints. This overlay will also include areas of planned or proposed
resource enhancements provided by the City, such as stream restoration efforts, proposed recreational
improvements, and other proposed improvement projects.
• Prepare a permitting summary matrix for the alternatives.
• Prepare a matrix summarizing environmental considerations that would be associated with trail
construction/placement.
• Provide general permit/compliance requirements (i.e., trigger points, level of project completion required
for submittal, public involvement, etc.) for the alternatives.
• Determine the permitting/compliance schedule for each alternatives including the time required for
National Environmental Policy Act (NE;PA), State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). and. possible
Shoreline Management Act- compliance, mitigation, and permitting. (NEPA and SEPA, preparation and
compliance and permit application preparation are not part of this Scope of Services. If such services are
requested, a scope and budget amendment will be required.)
• Prepare a technical summary that addresses the cultural resources, critical area/sensitive species, and
other environmental permitting/compliance required for resources located in or near the project area and
describes recommendations for further work.
• Participate in an internal evaluations meeting to review environmental, permitting, archaeological, and.
Historical District considerations with the project team.
Assumptions:
Page 2
• No consultation with agencies or tribal agencies will be necessary.
Deliverables:
• A technical memorandum documenting the environmental documentation and permitting requirements
evaluation. The memorandum will include matrices (a permitting summary matrix and an environmental
considerations matrix and summaries of considerations and findings for the alternatives.
Critical Area Resources and Sensitive Species Information Gathering
The purpose of this task is to identify required documentation for permitting impacts to critical areas including
wetlands, streams, and/or buffer habitat, and sensitive species. CONSULTANT will:
• Identify and characterize sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, and buffers) and floodplains in the study
area. Wetland delineations will not be conducted, but wetland values and functions sufficient to assign
buffers will be generally characterized based on field reconnaissance.
• Obtain current species and habitat information from National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Priority
Habitats and Species database, and Washington Department of Natural Resources Heritage Data.
• Review the City's Shoreline Master Program.
Assumptions
• The efforts do not include formal delineation of wetland or other critical area resources.
• Meetings with agency staff [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service (USFWS)] are not included in this proposal.
Deliverables:
• Background research and site observations to be used in Task 1.
Cultural and Historic Resources Information Gathering
The proposed undertaking will eventually need to address the requirements of identifying the potential for cultural
resources within the project area as well as the impacts both direct and indirect of the proposed undertaking on
any identified cultural resources per Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA 36 CFR 800).
This task involves identifying existing and potential historic resources.
Project Mobilization and Records Search
A CONSULTANT archaeologist will conduct a records search for the overall project area at the Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) prior to the field site visit. Cultural resources staff will review
cultural resource records, reports, National Register of -Historic Places (National Register) nomination forms, and
historic property inventory forms on file at DAHP. This information wilMelp us determine if any archaeological
or historic sites have been previously recorded within or adjacent to the project area. The results of the
background research would be used to supplement a fornial identification of an Area of Potential Effects (APE)
that would be drafted in a letter once the Preferred Alternative was identified. The cost for drafting an APE letter
is not included in this scope.
Deliverable:
• Background research to be used in Tasks 1.
Site Visit
Page 3
A CONSULTANT archaeologist will conduct field reconnaissance of the project area, paying particular attention
to those areas with a high probability of containing archaeological materials, such as along the banks of the Cedar
River. In addition, the archaeologist will also look at the built environment to determine an approximation of the
number of historical buildings (i.e., structures that are at least 50 years old) within the project area. Formal
identification of parcels containing historical buildings would be recommended once a Preferred Alternative is
identified, but such efforts are not included in this scope and budget. If archaeological materials are observed
during the reconnaissance, CONSULTANT will not fully record any sites or isolates, but will photograph the
area, note visible materials, and record their locations. The presence of these materials will be included in the
feasibility evaluation with recommendations for a detailed cultural resources assessment, which would include
subsurface testing and/or monitoring and architectural inventorying of historical buildings.
Assumptions:
• No archaeological sites, archaeological isolated finds or human skeletal remains will be identified during
the reconnaissance.
The efforts do not constitute a formal cultural resources assessment but a feasibility study only with
recommendations for a formal approach once a Preferred Alternative is identified.
Deliverable:
• Summary of site observations to be used in Task l .
5.0 Alternatives Development and Evaluation
The CONSULTANT will evaluate four (4) alternatives for the South Connector Project. The four alternatives are:
1) 5 foot bike lane each direction, 2) 10 foot shared path, new or using existing sidewalks, 3) restriping of Logan
Ave N to accommodate the bike lanes, and 4) using N 61h Street as an option. Each alternative will include a plan,
typical cross sections and channelization plan. The CONSULTANT will prepare a memorandum that will provide
the basis for selection of preferred alternative. The memorandum will include the following elements:
A. Project Summary— A review of the project objectives and how the alternatives meet those objectives.
B. Preliminary Engineering — A discussion of the methodology, existing conditions and design criteria, and
standards used in the approach to the preliminary designs.
C. Evaluation of Design Alternatives — A presentation of design alternatives studied, and justification for
selection or non -selection. Evaluations will consider costs, right-of-way acquisition, storm water
collection, potential utility conflicts, traffic, environmental and permitting issues.
D. Proposed Improvements — A review of the technical elements comprising the proposed improvements,
including grading, design criteria, vehicle turning movements and sight distance.
E. Cost Estimate — A summary of the estimated costs associated with the completion of the proposed
improvements. Anticipated costs will be identified for design engineering, right-of-way acquisition,
construction, and construction management.
F. Concept Plans — Plans for the improvements will consist of a channelization plan, typical section and
cross sections. The plans will be prepared using AutoCAD 2008 software and APWA standard symbols.
G. Review Comments — CITY review comments will be addressed and incorporated into the concept plans
and report.
Assumptions:
• CITY will review concept plan documents and provide one set of review comments.
Deliverables:
• An electronic (AutoCAD 2008) copy and paper copy of concept plans.
• An electronic (PDF) copy and paper copy of design memorandum.

RE: PROPOSAL FOR NATURAL RESOURCE AND PERMITTING SERVICES
STAGE 2 LAKE WASHINGTON TRAIL (SOUTH CONNECTOR) PROJECT
RENTON, WASHINGTON
Dear Mr. Richard:
Landau Associates is pleased to present this proposed scope of services and cost estimate for
natural resource and permitting services for the Stage 2 Lake Washington Trail (South Connector) Project
in Renton, Washington. The proposed scope of services presented in this letter is based on discussions
with and information provided by WHPacific. Presented below is a summary of our project
understanding and proposed scope of services.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The work required includes developing and evaluating alternatives for providing a non -motorized
connection (Trail) from the vicinity of N 6th St/Logan Ave N and connecting to the Cedar River Trail.
The proposed trail improvements may include a buffered combined pedestrian -bicycle path and revisions
to the existing signal systems in order to accommodate the proposed improvements. A preliminary step
in determining a preferred alternative is to conduct a feasibility analysis, in part, to determine
environmental permitting and associated documentation requirements for the alternatives to assist in the
preferred alternative selection process.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following sections define Landau Associates' tasks for natural resource and permitting
services for the proposed intersection improvements project.

SEATTLE • SPOKANE • TACOMA • PORTLAND
TASK I. FEASIBILITY SCREENING AND ALTERNATIVE EVALUATIONS
Landau Associates will assist WHPacific and the City with feasibility -level evaluations for the
Trail alternatives. This includes assisting with the development of preliminary concepts of alternatives
that will facilitate selection of a preferred alternative, including preliminary evaluation and cost estimates
for pennitting requirements, environmental considerations, and archeological requirements associated
with the alternatives. Tasks include:
Prepare a GIS-based map layer set that illustrates sensitive natural resources, including
documented wetlands, Cedar River, buffer zones associated with wetlands and the river,
floodplains, Historic District boundaries, and other potential constraints. This overlay will
also include areas of planned or proposed resource enhancements provided by the City, such
as stream restoration efforts, proposed recreational improvements, and other proposed
improvement projects.
• Prepare a permitting summary matrix for the alternatives.
• Assist in preparing a matrix summarizing environmental considerations (not including traffic)
that would be associated with Trail construction/placement.
• Provide general permit/compliance requirements (i.e., trigger points, level of project
completion required for submittal, public involvement, etc.) for the alternatives.
• Determine the permitting/compliance schedule for each alternative, including the time
required for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) and possible Shoreline Management Act compliance, initigation, and permitting.
(NEPA and SERA, preparation and compliance and permit application preparation are not
part of this Scope of Services. If such services are requested, a scope and budget amendment
will be required.)
We will prepare a technical summary that addresses the cultural resources, critical
area/sensitive species, and other environmental permitting/compliance required for resources
located in or near the project area and describes recommendations for further work.
Participate in an internal evaluations meeting to review environmental, permitting,
archaeological, and Historical District considerations with the project team.
Assumptions:
• No more than three alternatives will be considered
• No consultation with agencies or tribal agencies will be necessary.
Deliverables:
• A technical memorandum documenting the environmental documentation and permitting
requirements evaluation. The memorandum will include matrices (a permitting summary
matrix and an environmental considerations matrix and summaries of considerations and
findings for the three alternatives.

• Attendance and participation at one meeting for the purposes of identifying a preferred
alternative.
Task 2. Critical Area Resources and Sensitive Species Information Gathering
The purpose of this task is to identify required documentation for permitting impacts to critical
areas including wetlands, streams, and/or buffer habitat, and sensitive species. We will:
• Identify and characterize sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, and buffers) and floodplains in
the study area. Wetland delineations will not be conducted, but wetland values and functions
sufficient to assign buffers will be generally characterized based on field reconnaissance.
• Obtain current species and habitat information from National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) Priority Habitats and Species database, and Washington Department of
Natural Resources Heritage Data.
• Review the City's Shoreline Master Program.
Assumptions
• The efforts do not include fornial delineation of wetland or other critical area resources.
• Meetings with agency staff [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS)] are not included in this proposal.
Tlalivarahlr c•
• Background research and site observations to be used in Task 1.
Task 3. Cultural and Historic Resources Information Gathering
The proposed undertaking will eventually need to address the requirements of identifying the
potential for cultural resources within the project area as well as the impacts both direct and indirect of the
proposed undertaking on any identified cultural resources per Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA 36 CFR 800). This task involves identifying existing and potential Historic
resources.
Project Mobilization and Records Search
A Landau Associates archaeologist will conduct a records search for the overall project area at
the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) prior to the field site visit. Landau
Associates cultural resources staff will review cultural resource records, reports, National Register of
Historic Places (National Register) nomination forms, and historic property inventory forms on file at
3/13/09\\Edmdata\sharedoc\000proposal\WHPaci0c\C_Renton\Lk WA Trail\Lake WA trail NR Proposal (3).doc LANDAu ASSOCIATES
. P 3
DAHP. This information will help us determine if any archaeological or historic sites have been
previously recorded within or adjacent to the project area. The results of the background research would
be used to supplement a formal identification of an Area of Potential Effects (APE) that would be drafted
in a letter once the Preferred Alternative was identified. The cost for drafting an APE letter is not
included in this scope.
Deliverable:
• Background research to be used in Tasks 1.
Site Visit
A Landau Associates archaeologist will conduct a partial day field reconnaissance of the project
area, paying particular attention to those areas with a high probability of containing archaeological
materials, such as along the banks of the Cedar River. In addition, the archaeologist will also look at the
built environment to determine an approximation of the number of historical buildings (i.e., structures that
are at least 50 years old) within the project area. Formal identification of parcels containing historical
buildings would be recommended once a Preferred Alternative is identified, but such efforts are not
included in this scope and budget. If archaeological materials are observed during the reconnaissance,
Landau Associates will not fully record any sites or isolates, but will photograph the area, note visible
materials, and record their locations. The presence of these materials will be included in the feasibility
evaluation with recommendations for a detailed cultural resources assessment, which would include
subsurface testing and/or monitoring and architectural inventorying of historical buildings.
Assumptions:
• Site access will be reasonable and unrestricted.
• No archaeological sites, archaeological isolated finds or human skeletal remains will be
identified during the reconnaissance.
• The efforts do not constitute a fonnal cultural resources assessment but a feasibility study
only with recommendations for a formal approach once a Preferred Alternative is identified.
Deliverable:
• Summary of site observations to be used in Task 1.
ESTIMATED COST
We estimate the cost for our proposed scope of services will be $15,000 in general accordance
with the following approximate breakdown:

Exhibit H
Title VI Assurances
During the performance of this AGREEMENT, the CONSULTANT, for itself, its assignees, and successors in
interest agrees as follows:
Compliance with Regulations: The CONSULTANT shall comply with the Regulations relative to non-
discrimination in federally assisted programs of the AGENCY, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part
21, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the "REGULATIONS"), which
are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this AGREEMENT.
2. Non-discrimination: The CONSULTANT, with regard to the work performed during the
AGREEMENT, shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, sex, or national origin in the selection
and retention of sub -consultants, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The
CONSULTANT shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by
Section 21.5 of the REGULATIONS, including employment practices when the AGREEMENT covers a
program set forth in Appendix B of the REGULATIONS.
Solicitations for Sub -consultants, Including Procurement of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations
either by competitive bidding or negotiations made by the CONSULTANT for work to be performed
under a sub -contract, including procurement of materials or leases of equipment, each potential sub -
consultant or supplier shall be notified by the CONSULTANT of the CONSULTANT'S obligations under
this AGREEMENT and the REGULATIONS relative to non-discrimination on the grounds of race, color,
sex, or national origin.
4. Information and Reports: The CONSULTANT shall provide all information and reports required by the
REGULATIONS or directives issued pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records,
accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by AGENCY, STATE or
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with such
REGULATIONS, orders and instructions. Where any information required of a CONSULTANT is in the
exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the CONSULTANT shall
so certify to the AGENCY, STATE or the FHWA as appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has
made to obtain the information.
Sanctions for Non-compliance: In the event of the CONSULTANT'S non-compliance with the non-
discrimination provisions of this AGREEMENT, the AGENCY shall impose such AGREEMENT
sanctions as it, the STATE or the FHWA may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to:
Withholding of payments to the CONSULTANT under the AGREEMENT until the
CONSULTANT complies, and/or;
Cancellation, termination, or suspension of the AGREEMENT, in whole or in part
DOT Form 140-089 EF Exhibit H

6. Incorporation of Provisions: The CONSULTANT shall include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through
(5) in every sub -contract, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by
the REGULATIONS, or directives issued pursuant thereto. The CONSULTANT shall take such action
with respect to any sub -consultant or procurement as the AGENCY, STATE or FHWA may direct as a
means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for non-compliance.
Provided, however, that in the event a CONSULTANT becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
litigation with a sub -consultant or supplier as a result of such direction, the CONSULTANT may request
the AGENCY and the STATE enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the AGENCY and the
STATE and, in addition, the CONSULTANT may request the United States enter into such litigation to
protect the interests of the United States.

Payment Upon Termination of Agreement
By the Agency Other Than for
Fault of the Consultant
(Refer to Agreement, Section IX)
Lump Sum Contracts
A final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT which when added to any payments previously made shall
total the same percentage of the Lump Sum Amount as the work completed at the time of termination is to the
total work required for the PROJECT. In addition, the CONSULTANT shall be paid for any authorized extra
work completed.
Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contracts
A final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT which when added to any payments previously made, shall
total the actual costs plus the same percentage of the fixed fee as the work completed at the time of termination is
to the total work required for the Project. In addition, the CONSULTANT shall be paid for any authorized extra
work completed.

Exhibit J
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant's alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the resolution
and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the -agency believes it has suffered some material damage
due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 — Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the
Agency's project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the
potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Highways and Local Programs
Engineer should be informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or
Agency Engineer may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been
as directly involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 - Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include: all decisions and
descriptions of work; photographs, records of labor, materials and equipment.
Step 3 — Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manger and any personnel (including sub -consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 — Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If
this is the case, then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occurred. If this
is the case, then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their
representatives, negotiate a settlement with the consultant. The settlement would be
paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced from the consultant's agreement
with the agency for the services on the project in which
the design error took place. The agency is to provide H&LP, through the Region
DOT Form 140-089 EF Exhibit J
Revised 6/05
Local Programs Engineer, a summary of the settlement for review and to make
adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement affects federal reimbursements. No
further action is required.
There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The
consultant may request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to
the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer for review. If the Director of
Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal counsel, is not able
to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.
Step 5 — Forward Documents to Highways and Local Programs
For federally funded projects all available information, including costs, should be forwarded
through the Region Highways and Local Programs Engineer to H&LP for their review and
consultation with the FHWA. H&LP will meet with representatives of the agency and the
consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to find a resolution to the issue. If
necessary, H&LP will request assistance from the Attorney General's Office for legal
interpretation. H&LP will also identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work
and costs to reflect the agreed upon resolution. H&LP, in consultation with FHWA,
will identify the amount of federal participation in the agreed upon
resolution of the issue.
If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement
by arbitration or by litigation.

• Prepare a matrix summarizing environmental considerations that would be associated with trail
construction/placement.
• Provide general permit/compliance requirements (i.e., trigger points, level of project completion required
for submittal, public involvement, etc.) for the alternatives.
• Determine the permitting/compliance schedule for each alternative, including the time required for
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and possible
Shoreline Management Act compliance, mitigation, and permitting. (NEPA and SEPA, preparation and
compliance and permit application preparation are not part of this Scope of Services. If such services are
requested, a scope and budget amendment will be required.)
• Prepare a technical summary that addresses the cultural resources, critical area/sensitive species, and
other environmental permitting/compliance required for resources located in or near the project area and
describes recommendations for further work.
• Participate in an internal evaluations meeting to review environmental, permitting, archaeological, and
Historical District considerations with the project team.
Assumptions:
Page 2
c:Wocwnenls and setllngs�yseitzVocal settingsVemporwy intemel fileslconteol.owlooklhgkkk6dAtrail scope 030509 (2).doc
• No consultation with agencies or tribal agencies will be necessary.
Deliverables:
• A technical memorandum documenting the environmental documentation and permitting requirements
evaluation. The memorandum will include matrices (a permitting summary matrix and an environmental
considerations matrix and summaries of considerations and findings for the alternatives.
Critical Area Resources and Sensitive Species Information Gathering
The purpose of this task is to identify required documentation for permitting impacts to critical areas including
wetlands, streams, and/or buffer habitat, and sensitive species. CONSULTANT will:
• Identify and characterize sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, and buffers) and floodplains in the study
area. Wetland delineations will not be conducted, but wetland values and functions sufficient to assign
buffers will be generally characterized based on field reconnaissance.
• Obtain current species and habitat information from National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Priority
Habitats and Species database, and Washington Department of Natural Resources Heritage Data.
• Review the City's Shoreline Master Program.
Assumptions
• The efforts do not include formal delineation of wetland or other critical area resources.
0 Meetings with agency staff [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service (USFWS)] are not included in this proposal.
Deliverables:
• Background research and site observations to be used in Task 1.
Cultural and Historic Resources Information Gathering
The proposed undertaking will eventually need to address the requirements of identifying the potential for cultural
resources within the project area as well as the impacts both direct and indirect of the proposed undertaking on
any identified cultural resources per Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA 36 CFR 800).
This task involves identifying existing and potential historic resources.
Project Mobilization and Records Search
A CONSULTANT archaeologist will conduct a records search for the overall project area at the Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) prior to the field site visit. Cultural resources staff will review
cultural resource records, reports, National Register of Historic Places (National Register) nomination forms, and
historic property inventory forms on file at DAHP. This information will help us determine if any archaeological
or historic sites have been previously recorded within or adjacent to the project area. The results of the
background research would be used to supplement a formal identification of an Area of Potential Effects (APE)
that would be drafted in a letter once the Preferred Alternative was identified. The cost for drafting an APE letter
is not included in this scope.
Deliverable:
• Background research to be used in Tasks 1.
Site Visit
Page 3
cadocumenls and settingsliseitzllocal settingsl'emporary internetlilestcortenLoutlooklhgkkk5J9trail scope 030509 (2). doc
A CONSULTANT archaeologist will conduct field reconnaissance of the project area, paying particular attention
to those areas with a high probability of containing archaeological materials, such as along the banks of the Cedar
River. In addition, the archaeologist will also look at the built environment to determine an approximation of the
number of historical buildings (i.e., structures that are at least 50 years old) within the project area. Formal
identification of parcels containing historical buildings would be recommended once a Preferred Alternative is
identified, but such efforts are not included in this scope and budget. If archaeological materials are observed
during the reconnaissance, CONSULTANT will not fully record any sites or isolates, but will photograph the
area, note visible materials, and record their locations. The presence of these materials will be included in the
feasibility evaluation with recommendations for a detailed cultural resources assessment, which would include
subsurface testing and/or monitoring and architectural inventorying of historical buildings.
Assumptions:
• No archaeological sites, archaeological isolated finds or human skeletal remains will be identified during
the reconnaissance.
The efforts do not constitute a formal cultural resources assessment but a feasibility study only with
recommendations for a formal approach once a Preferred Alternative is identified.
Deliverable:
• Summary of site observations to be used in Task 1.
5.0 Alternatives Development and Evaluation
The CONSULTANT will evaluate four (4) alternatives for the South Connector Project. The four alternatives are:
1) 5 foot bike lane each direction, 2) 10 foot shared path, new or using existing sidewalks, 3) restriping of Logan
Ave N to accommodate the bike lanes, and 4) using N 6`h Street as an option. Each alternative will include a plan,
typical cross sections and channelization plan. The CONSULTANT will prepare a memorandum that will provide
the basis for selection of preferred alternative. The memorandum will include the following elements:
A. Project Summary — A review of the project objectives and how the alternatives meet those objectives.
B. Preliminary Engineering — A discussion of the methodology, existing conditions and design criteria, and
standards used in the approach to the preliminary designs.
C. Evaluation of Design Alternatives — A presentation of design alternatives studied, and justification for
selection or non -selection. Evaluations will consider costs, right-of-way acquisition, storm water
collection, potential utility conflicts, traffic, environmental and permitting issues.
D. Proposed Improvements — A review of the technical elements comprising the proposed improvements,
including grading, design criteria, vehicle turning movements and sight distance.
E. Cost Estimate — A summary of the estimated costs associated with the completion of the proposed
improvements. Anticipated costs will be identified for design engineering, right-of-way acquisition,
construction, and construction management.
F. Concept Plans — Plans for the improvements will consist of a channelization plan, typical section and
cross sections. The plans will be prepared using AutoCAD 2008 software and APWA standard symbols.
G. Review Comments — CITY review comments will be addressed and incorporated into the concept plans
and report.
Assumptions:
• CITY will review concept plan documents and provide one set of review comments.
Deliverables:
• An electronic (AutoCAD 2008) copy and paper copy of concept plans.
• An electronic (PDF) copy and paper copy of design memorandum.
