Amount Budgeted: $ 196,771 (Annually)Revenue Generated: $1,180,626 (6 years)
Total Project Budget: $ $1,180,626 City Share Total Project: $
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On August 6, 2013 King County voters approved Proposition 1 providing funding to support the repair,
replacement, improvement, and expansion of parks, open space, trails and recreation opportunities in
King County. This 18.77 cent six-year levy is expected to generate $62 million in revenue in 2014 and will
be shared among King Parks, each city within King County and the Woodland Park Zoo. Seven percent
of the fees collected will be distributed to cities in King County and the basis for calculating each city's
allocation (50% Assessed Valuation and 50% population) will be derived from the previous year's
statistics. Approximately $4.3 million will be distributed to the cities of King County this year; Renton's
estimated share for 2014 is $196,771. During the five succeeding years through 2019, the annual
amount may be adjusted by the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index. Over the six
years funds are collected, the approximate distribution to Renton will be $1,180,626. In addition, King
County will deduct an administrative fee related to the distribution of the Levy Proceeds; Renton's
estimated distribution has already been reduced by the King County administrative fee. As this is a
property tax levy, funds will be automatically transferred to the City on a monthly basis. The distributions
will occur through 2019 and be accounted for in the Capital Improvement Fund (316). The Contract
facilitates the transfer of levy funds and lays out the terms and the conditions for managing and
expending levy revenues and annual reporting requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement with King County, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to sign the agreements, and adjust the budget as described.

SUBJECT:King County Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement - Proposition 1
ISSUE:
Should the City enter into an agreement with King County to receive Proposition 1,
Special Parks Property Tax Levy Funds? Should the Capital Improvement Fund be
adjusted to reflect receipt of the Levy Funds?
BACKGROUND:
On August 6, 2013, King County voters approved Proposition 1, an 18.77-cent, six year levy
to provide funding for the repair, replacement, improvement, and expansion or acquisition
of parks, open space, trails and recreation opportunities in King County. Proposition 1 is
similar to the voter approved 2007 King County Expansion Levy (Proposition 2). Renton
entered into an agreement with King County for the collection and distribution of the
Proposition 2 funds, which also was a six year levy; Proposition 2 ended in December of
2013.
Under Proposition 1 Renton’s share for 2014 will increase to $196,771 and the annual
amount in future years will be adjusted by the percentage change in the Consumer Price
Index. Over the six years funds are collected the approximate distribution to Renton will
be $1,180,626. The basis for calculating each city's allocation (50% Assessed Valuation and
50% population) is derived from the previous year's statistics which utilizes the same
criteria as the 2007 Proposition 2 Levy.
The primary difference between the 2013 Special Parks Property Tax Levy – Proposition 1
and the 2007 King County Expansion Levy (Proposition 2) is how the funds can be utilized.
The new 2013 Special Parks Property Tax Levy – Proposition 1 has increased flexibility to
include City Park System Projects or the repair, replacement and improvement of local
8f. - Community Services Department

parks and trails; park, open space and trail acquisition; and park and trail development,
whereas the 2007 Proposition 1 funds were limited to open space and trail acquisition and
trail development.
Levy proceeds may not supplant existing funding and funding pooled across multiple years
is allowed. King County will deduct an administrative fee related to the administration of
the distribution of the Levy Proceeds and funds will be automatically transferred to the City
on a monthly basis. On or before May 1 of each year throughout the Term of the
Agreement, the City will provide the County with an Annual Report reflecting levy project
expenditures. The distributions will occur through 2019 and be accounted for in the
Capital Improvement Fund (316) separate from the 2007 King County Expansion Levy –
Proposition 2 funds.
CONCLUSION
The voters of King County approved a Special Property Tax Levy to expand park and
recreation opportunities. Distributions will occur through 2019. Renton’s share for 2014
will be $196,771 and over the six years funds are collected, the approximate distribution to
Renton will be $1,180,626. Proceeds will be used to repair, replace, improve and expand
Renton’s parks, trails and open space areas and will be accounted for in the Capital
Improvement Fund (316) separate from the 2007 King County Expansion Levy – Proposition
2 funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council authorizes the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Special Property
Tax Levy Agreement with King County. Adjust the budget as described.

PARKS PROPERTY TAX LEVY AGREEMENT
between
KING COUNTY & (CITY) _________________
This Parks Property Tax Levy Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
___________, 2014, by and between KING COUNTY, a political subdivision of the state of
Washington (the “County”) and the City of ______________________, a State of Washington
municipal corporation ("CITY”).
RECITALS
A. The County owns and operates a park system with over twenty-eight thousand (28,000) acres
of regional parks and open spaces and over one hundred seventy-five (175) miles of regional
trails. In addition, the County is the provider of local parks in the rural area and is the
transitional provider of local parks in the urban incorporated areas.
B. Since 2003, on recommendation of the Metropolitan Parks Task Force and direction from the
County Executive and County Council, the County's Parks and Recreation Division has
focused on managing a system of regional parks, open spaces and trails and a limited set of
regional active recreation assets.
C. Consistent with its role as a regional and local rural service provider under Countywide
Planning Policies and the State Growth Management Act, the County has divested itself of
local parks and facilities in urban unincorporated areas as these areas incorporate or annex to
cities.
D. In November 2006, the County Executive created the Parks Futures Task Force to
recommend a funding plan for the current County park system, and to examine what steps
should be taken, if any, regarding future park s ystem acquisitions.
E. In June of 2012, the County Executive convened the King County Parks Levy Task Force to
recommend a funding plan for the current park system and to examine how to address the
parks and recreation needs of King County residents in the future.
F. The King County Parks Levy Task Force recommended that the County replace the expiring
levies and put a ballot measure before the voters in 2013 that requests a six-year inflation
adjusted property tax levy lift at a total rate of $0.1901 per one thousand dollars of assessed
value with a percentage of the levy proceeds to be distributed to cities for their local parks
system projects.
G. On April 30, 2013, the King County Council adopted Ordinance 17568 which called for a
special election in accordance with RCW 29A.04.321 to authorize an additional 6-year
property tax levy for specified park purposes..
H. On August 6, 2013, King County voters approved Proposition No. 1 Parks Levy that
8f. - Community Services Department
recommends approval of the Parks
Page 56 of 364
Page 2 of 6
authorized an additional six year property tax levy at a rate of $0.1877 in the first year, with
subsequent levies adjusted by inflation for the purpose of: maintaining and operating King
County’s parks system, improving parks, recreation and mobility by acquiring open space,
expanding park and recreation opportunities, continuing to develop regional trails; repairing,
replacing, and improving local parks and trails in King County’s cities; and funding
environmental educations, maintenance, conservation, and capital programs at the Woodland
Park Zoo.

Ordinance 17568
1. King County owns and operates a system of regional and local parks
and trails that consists of twenty six thousand acres of parklands and more
than one hundred seventy five miles of regional trails. The county
provides regional trails, regional recreational facilities. regional natural
area parks. and local rural parks. and is the transitional provider of local
parks in the urban unincorporated areas. Examples of regional county
parks and trails include Marymoor Park, Cougar Mountain Regional
Wildland Park. the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center and the
Sammamish River Trail.
2. Public parks, natural areas. and trails contribute to a Iligh quality of life.
A robust system of parks and trai Is provides: physical. social and mental
health benefits to individuals; economic opportunity through recreation
and tourism; economic growth for private businesses that must attract and
retain skilled workers: and environmental benefits and cultural resource
protection through open space conservation. King County's parks system
provides all these benefits to King County residents and businesses.
3. The 2002 Parks Business Transition Plan , which was adopted by the
King County counciL became the blueprint for establishing the regional
parks system we have today . The parks and recreation division of the
department of natural resources and parks has successfully focused its
lines of business on regional parks and trails, backcountry trails, natural
lands, and local parks in wlincorporated King County and has been
implementing business practices that generate revenue from park system

and community partnerships that enhance park amenities and leverage
public and private dollars to improve parks and increase access to parks .

the county ha s so ught voter-approved levie s on two prior occasions: in
2003, to provide maintenance and operating funding for the parks and
recreati on divi sio n for the period of2004-2007: and in 2007. to provide
funding for maintenance and operating, as well as funding for open space
acquisition and asset maintenance and improvement. for the period of
2008 -201 3 . Voters approved the levies on both occasions that th ey were
on the ballot. The voter-approved levies have helped keep the parks
system open. clean and safe.
5. Approximately seventy percent of the operating budget of the parks
and recreation division is provided by the 2008-2013 voter-approved
operations and maintenance levy , with approximately seventeen percent
generated through business activities and entrepreneurial efforts. King
County general fund s upport to the park s and recreation division was
eliminated as of 20 II.
6. In 20 13. the 2008-2013 voter-approved Open Space and Trails Levy

division's asse t management budget. Historically , the real estate excise

percent from 2006 to 2012.
7. The effective rate of the combined levies in 2013 is $0.1331 per one
thousand dollars of assessed value. A comparable effective levy rate
beginning in 2014 would need to be $0.1478 per one thousand dollars of
a ssessed value. Due to the loss of general funds and real estate excise tax.
a higher levy rate is necessary in the future to achieve the
recommendations of all the past parks task forces and the cowlcil-
approved parks business transition plan.
8. Parks levy citizen oversight committees were established to monitor the
expenditures of the proceeds from the 2004-2007 and 2008-2013 levies.
In every year of its review. the committee has concluded that the county
has complied with all levy requirements.
9. As specified under Motion 12809 , the King County executive
developed and implemented an alillual process to review and recommend
for council approval open space projects funded by the Open Space and
Trails Levy through coordination with the conservation futures tax
program.
10. The King County executive convened the King County parks levy
task force in June 2012 to recommend a funding plan for the current park
system and how to address the parks and recreation needs of King County
residents in the future. The task force. which met from June to October,
was comprised of twenty-two individuals representing all geographic areas

II. The task force issued a report in October 2012 . recommending that

voters in 2013 that requests a six-year inOation-adjusted property tax levy
lid lin a t a total rate of $0.190 I per one thousand dollars of assessed value.
The task force recommended continu in g to fund maintenance and
operations of King County's parks system. as well as funding critical
infrastructure repair and replacement. acquisition and stewardship of open
space. as such lands can provide for passive or active recreation
opportunities and /or protection of habitat and water quality. and the
continued development of regional trail corridors. including strategic
connections between trails and transpol1ation hubs to improve mobility.
The task force also recommended providing support to King County's
cities for local parks and recreation capital purposes and to the Woodland
Park Zoological Society for education and conservation programs,
horticulture and maintenance. and capital improvements.

recommendations of the task force and has put forth a funding proposal
that is consistent with the goals and priorities of the task force. decreasing
the rate recommended by the task force by utilizing updated forecasts for
real estate excise tax, which enabled adjustments to be made to the overall
funding assumptions.

ATIACHMENT A
17568
OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL LANDS ACQUISITION
The overall approach for funding allocation and coordination with the Conservation
Futures Tax (CFT) program for the acquisition of open space and natural lands through
the countywide parks levy is proposed as follows:
1. Early each calendar year, the Department of Natural Resources and Parks
(DNRP) will set a proposed allocation for open space from levy funds for the
following fiscal year.
2. Staff will generate proposals for the use of these funds , taking into account
opportunities to leverage resources with funding from Conservation Futures, as
well as from other local, state, and federal funding sources .
3. An overall proposal allocating the open space funds to specific projects will be
developed and discussed with the Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) that is
responsible for developing CFT funding recommendations . These discussions
are expected to occur in the spring, during the same time frame during which the
COC annually reviews CFT project proposals . This will create an opportunity for
the COC to provide an advisory recommendation regarding allocation of these
parks levy funds .
4 . Taking the COC 's recommendations into account, DNRP will develop a proposed
budget for these parks levy funds .
5. The DNRP proposed budget for parks levy funding will be reviewed by the
County Executive , and ultimately County Council, as part of the overall budget
process for the following year.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Police Department wants to reduce the number of authorized commissioned police officer positions
by one full time equivalent (FTE) to create an additional non-commissioned community programs
coordinator position. In doing so, the Police Department will substantially improve our communication
with our citizens in a wide variety of areas. We will be able to continue to provide excellent crime
prevention and community programs; more fully access available grant funds; assess the needs of the
community and create and facilitate programs to address those needs; expand our volunteer program,
creating additional opportunities for the community to "participate" in the department; communicate
crime prevention information to the community more fully using all mediums; and communicate
department information, including public relations, with the community. The loss of a commissioned
position can be absorbed within the current staffing by reducing one of our specialty positions and will
not have a negative effect on the service that we provide to our community. The salary for a community
programs coordinator position is less than that of a police officer, so there will not be a negative impact
on the budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Police Department to reduce the number of authorized commissioned police officer
positions by one full time equivalent (FTE) in order to create an additional non-commissioned
community programs coordinator position to improve communication with our citizens.

ISSUE
Should the Police Department reduce the number of authorized commissioned police
officer positions by one full time equivalent (FTE) to create an additional non-
commissioned community programs coordinator position to improve communication
with our citizens?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the recommendation of the Department to create an additional Community
Programs Coordinator by reducing our authorized commissioned officer staffing by one
FTE.
OVERVIEW
The adopted 2014 budget authorizes 120 commissioned police officer positions and
28.4 non-commissioned positions. Of the 120 commissioned officer positions, one
position has been on loan for the last two years to the Administrative Services
Department to staff a limited term Deputy City Clerk’s position that is funded through
the end of 2014 to fulfill increased public records requests.
Since the 1990’s, the police department has had two non-commissioned employees
dedicated to crime prevention. Over the years, their duties expanded to the point that
they are now referred to as “community program coordinators”. The two community
program coordinators are responsible for:
Residential and Business Block-watch coordination
Citizen’s Academy, National Night Out
Crime Resistant Multi-Housing Program
Crime prevention programs

Sex offender community meetings
Administering a volunteer program with 26 volunteers
Grant coordination and reporting
Community events – Renton River Days, Return to Renton car show
Social Media – Twitter, Facebook
Press Information Officer (PIO) responsibilities
The duties of the community program coordinators have expanded over the years along
with a substantial growth in the population of the City of Renton. While at the same
time, we have maintained two positions since the 1990’s.
By exchanging one officer position for a community programs coordinator, we will
substantially improve our communication with the public in a wide variety of areas:
Continue to provide excellent crime prevention and community programs
commensurate to a City that has significantly grown in population and size.
More fully access available grant funds.
Assess the current and changing needs of the community and create and
facilitate programs to address those needs.
Expand and supervise our volunteer program, to create additional opportunities
for the community to “participate” in the department and to decrease employee
workload as appropriate.
Communicate crime prevention information to the community more fully using
all mediums, including the City website and social media (Facebook, Twitter,
etc.).
Communicate department information, including public relations, with the
community.
The loss of a commissioned position can be absorbed within the current staffing by
reducing one of our specialty positions and will not have a negative effect on the service
that we provide to our community.
Implementation:
I am recommending that the conversion of a police officer position to a community
programs coordinator position be authorized for hiring on July 1, 2014. The
Administrative Services Department has a half-time position vacancy and funds available
to continue the limited term Deputy City Clerk position through the end of 2014.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends Council approve the proposed change in the staffing allocation
effective July 1, 2014.

(Airport Way to North 8th Street) Improvement Project. At the time the agreement was
executed, funding had not been secured for any construction. However, in late 2013 a
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant was approved for pavement
reconstruction from the Cedar River Bridge to North 6th Street. About the same time
Supplemental Agreement #1 was executed with Perteet, Inc. extending the completion
date from December 25, 2013 to December 31, 2014. It was also determined at that
time that a final design package, including construction contract documents was needed
in order to facilitate awarding a construction contract to utilize the construction funding
that had now been secured. The proposed supplemental agreement also includes
right-of-way acquisition support, which will be necessary before construction can
proceed.
Perteet, Inc. is the logical choice to provide the final design, since it has done the initial
work it will now be completing, and also because the current agreement gives the City
the option of engaging Perteet, Inc. to provide final design and right-of-way acquisition
support. Additionally, Perteet, Inc. has particular expertise in pavement analysis and
design that makes them well-suited to take on the design of this project. The cost
proposal, as negotiated for this phase of the design is within the budget and considered
reasonable.

SUBJECT:Authorize Budget Increase for SW 27th Street/Strander Blvd.
Extension Project, Phase 1 – Segment 2A
ISSUE:
Should Council authorize exceeding the allocated budget by $440,000 for the SW 27th
Street/Strander Blvd. Extension Project, Phase 1 – Segment 2A using the previously
authorized cash flow equalization funds?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize exceeding the allocated budget by $440,000 for the SW 27th Street/Strander
Blvd. Extension Project, Phase 1 – Segment 2A using the previously authorized cash flow
equalization funds.
BACKGROUND:
The SW 27th Street/Strander Blvd. Extension Project is projected to have a $440,000
revenue shortfall at project completion. City staff is in the process of securing additional
funds, however funds are needed immediately from the Transportation general fund
bridge loan in order to pay forthcoming contractor pay estimates.
The budget shortfall can be attributed to two significant project challenges. One is the
dewatering system for the project, which continuously keeps the groundwater level
below the project excavation site. For over two years, 6-8 pumps have continuously
pumped between 500-2000 gallons per minute. The challenge encountered has been

where to discharge this much water, and several times the project has had to make
revisions to its discharge system.
The second challenge was a conflict in shoring systems encountered when the
excavation from the west side merged with the excavation from the east side of the
project. The conflict was an unforeseen design issue that caused a conflict between
shoring walls and tieback installation equipment. The project was idle while this design
issue was resolved.
The above two issues are reflected in approximately 8 of the 20 project change orders.
Additionally, the project experienced a revenue shortfall when the project was bid. The
low bidder was disqualified due to errors in their “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise”
forms. Therefore the project was awarded to the second low bidder, Guy F. Atkinson,
whose bid was $544,000 higher than the low bidder. Additional funds were applied for
and received from the Transportation Improvement Board in order to award the
project.
Additional funds will be pursued from the project design consultant, due to the design
oversight and from Sound Transit. If additional secured funds are not sufficient other
budgeted expenditures in the Transportation capital budget will be deferred.

The Projects:
Special Recycling Events
The Special Recycling Events (Recycling Days) have grown in popularity and volume of
materials recycled since their inception in 1990. These events serve over 1,000
households each year. Recycling Days serve the community well and provide an
opportunity for Renton residents to recycle a higher volume of materials while
improving the appearance of their neighborhoods through the process of a general
clean-up/recycle event. Beginning in 2003/2004, the county provided additional
funding to Renton to expand the Recycling Days to unincorporated county customers
who live just outside the Renton city limits. While we have never discriminated
between Renton and unincorporated county customers, this additional funding allows
us to recover all costs associated with serving this population. The additional allocation
is applied directly to the Recycling Days, providing for increased per-dollar efficiency of
the events while allowing the Solid Waste Utility the flexibility to fund other areas of
need.
ReUse It! Renton Stop and Swap
Now in its 10th year of implementation, this popular program provides a venue for
residents to bring unwanted but still usable household goods and construction
materials. Residents in need of materials are invited to come and take usable materials
home. This program not only diverts materials from the landfill but also fulfills a need of
some of our community’s most vulnerable populations.
Multifamily Recycling Education
Renton’s Solid Waste Utility began implementation of its multifamily recycling collection
program in 1993. While many Renton multifamily customers currently recycle materials
through the City’s collection program, overall diversion for this sector continues to be
low. There is a need to increase the diversion rates for this sector. The Multifamily
Recycling Education Project seeks to increase recycling in the multifamily sector through
technical assistance to both property managers and tenants.
The City’s emphasis of the Multifamily Recycling Education program will continue to
reinforce the positive waste reduction and recycling strategies that place Renton among
the top recycling performers.
Every-Other-Week Collection Evaluation
The City implemented its Every-Other-Week (EOW) garbage and recycling collection
program in 2009. In its 5th year of implementation, the City will initiate an evaluation of
the program to learn about customer behavioral shifts from pre-implementation to
current practice as well as learn of customer satisfaction with the EOW collection

program. This information will help inform planning for the next generation of solid
waste collection programs and contracts.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Renton is eligible to receive $111,940 in non-matching grant funding in
2014 through the King County Solid Waste Division’s Waste Reduction and Recycling
Grant Program. This grant provides funding for the Special Recycling Events,
Multifamily Recycling Education, the Reuse It! Renton Event and Every-Other-Week
Collection Evaluation. The annual grant allocation is $111,940.
The Interagency Agreement between the City and King County must be signed in
order for the City to receive grant funds.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Wastewater Utility would like to enter into a consultant agreement with Stantec Consulting
Services, Inc. to provide engineering services needed to perform an alternatives analysis for the
Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Project. The project is located in the Rolling Hills neighborhood
Thunder Hills Creek corridor, beginning at I-405 and heading south to Grant Avenue South and South
18th Street.
The contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. covers the initial alternatives analysis work needed
to determine the best way to provide long-term capacity for this interceptor and provide adequate
access for the City to maintain this facility over its lifetime. Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was
selected through the RFP/SOQ process. A total of eight firms submitted a proposal, with the City
selecting Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. after having oral interviews with the top three firms.
The Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Project (426.465495) has a 2014 budget of $400,000, which includes
$100,000 in the proposed 2014 Carry Forward Ordinance. This provides sufficient funding for this
consultant contract and anticipated staff costs. As part of our 2015-2016 Capital Improvement Program
budget submittal, we will include the final design and construction costs for the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the consultant agreement with Stantec Consulting
Services, Inc., in the amount of $373,700, for engineering services for the Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer
Alternatives Analysis Project.

Alternatives Analysis Project
ISSUE:
Should the Wastewater Utility enter into a consultant agreement with Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc. to provide engineering services needed for alternatives analysis
for the Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the consultant agreement with Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc., in the amount of $373,700, for engineering services for the
Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Alternatives Analysis Project.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Thunder Hills Interceptor was installed in the mid-1960s, in advance of the original
I-405 construction. It runs approximately 3,500 linear feet within Thunder Hills Creek
from I-405 to about the intersection of South 18th Street and Grant Avenue South in the
Rolling Hills neighborhood (see attached vicinity map). Over its lifetime, the creek area
has been prone to erosion, causing the Wastewater Maintenance to lose portions of its
access to maintain the facility. In addition, this facility is approaching its useful life and
we cannot access approximately 40% of the facility to determine its current condition.
Being located in the sensitive area of Thunder Hills Creek, this poses a substantial risk of
potential failure.
The alternatives analysis will:
Determine the exact location of our facility.
Utilize equipment that will allow us to determine the current condition of the
facility.

Analyze the characteristics of the creek to determine how we can safely re-
establish an appropriate access road to the entire facility.
Perform a hydraulic analysis to determine if the facility needs to be upsized.
Analyze alternative routes to either eliminate the facility from the creek or at a
minimum, reduce the flow that enters into the system in the creek.
The Wastewater Utility has $400,000 budgeted for this project in the 2014 Capital
Improvement Program Thunder Hill Sanitary Sewer line item (426.465495), which
includes $100,000 in the proposed 2014 Carry Forward Ordinance. Stantec Consulting
Services, Inc. was selected through an RFP/SOQ process. A total of eight engineering
firms submitted a proposal and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was selected after oral
interviews were given to the top three firms who submitted.
The total current estimated cost to complete the improvements is $4,100,000. As part
of our 2015-2016 Capital Improvement Program budget submittal for the Wastewater
Utility we will program the remaining $3,700,000 over the two year period. Part of the
analysis will also include a better estimate of actual cost, so the current planning
number we are using could change.
CONCLUSION:
The Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer needs to be analyzed to determine the best long-term
solution to ensure that it is sized appropriately to convey the ultimate fully developed
flows from this basin, that there is sufficient access for the maintenance crews to
properly maintain the facility, and that the condition of the facility is sufficient to assure
that we do not have failures in the facility that result in sewage directly discharging into
Thunder Hills Creek. The alternatives analysis is the important first step in achieving
these goals.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The NE 10th Street and Anacortes Avenue NE Detention Pond Retrofit Project was accepted and the
final pay estimate (Pay Estimate No. 4 – Final) approved by the City Council on January 27, 2014. On
February 24, 2014, the City received notice from the contractor, CCT Construction, Inc., of an
outstanding invoice from a subcontractor in the amount of $6,211.76. The invoice was for truck tickets
that had not been submitted by the subcontractor due to a billing error for work associated with hauling
and disposing of contaminated organic material as part of Change Order No. 1 authorized by the City in
November 2013. The attached new Pay Estimate No. 5 – Revised Final includes payment for the
outstanding invoice plus markup for the total amount of $6,684.35. Pay Estimate No. 4 is still a valid pay
estimate as it includes charges that are not included in Pay Estimate No. 5 – Revised Final. However,
Pay Estimate No. 4 is no longer the final pay estimate for the project. The original contract amount was
$135,185 and the final contract amount is $141,975.04.
The adjusted 2014 CIP budget of $49,000 for the NE 10th Street and Anacortes Avenue NE Detention
Pond Retrofit Project (427.475493) is included the 2014 Carry Forward Ordinance. There is sufficient
budget in the project account to fund the revised final pay estimate and remaining staff costs.

Project on January 27, 2014, in the amount of $135,290.69. The original contract
amount was $135,185.
On February 24, 2014, the City received notice from the contractor, CCT Construction,
Inc., of an outstanding invoice from a subcontractor in the amount of $6,211.76. The
invoice was for four truck tickets that had not been submitted by the contractor’s
subcontractor, Regional Disposal Company, for work associated with hauling and

disposing of contaminated organic material that was excavated from the detention
pond on September 18, 2013. In November 2013, the City agreed to pay for the extra
work as part of Change Order No. 1 since the unanticipated contaminated organic
material was considered a change condition.
Regional Disposal Company and CCT Construction, Inc. provided the City a written
explanation for why the tickets were not included with the original invoice associated
with the hauling and disposal of contaminated organic material that occurred on
September 18, 2013. In their explanation, Regional Disposal Company stated that they
had undergone a software change in September 2013 that resulted in billing errors on
several of their customer’s accounts, including CCT Construction, Inc.’s account. As a
result of the billing errors, not all of the haul/disposal truck tickets were included in the
original invoice that was processed by Regional Disposal Company and submitted to CCT
Construction, Inc. for payment in September 2013.
CCT Construction, Inc. is requesting the City pay for the outstanding invoice and
applicable markup, in the amount $6,684.35, since the truck tickets were for additional
work requested by the City to haul and dispose of unanticipated contaminated organic
material.
The Surface Water Utility staff has reviewed the truck tickets that provide backup to the
invoice and have confirmed they are not duplicate tickets. The customer initials on the
four tickets match the customer initials on the truck tickets previously submitted and
paid by the City. As a further check, staff reviewed the City inspector’s report for
September 18, 2013, and confirmed that eight loads of organic material were hauled
offsite. Including both the truck tickets paid as part of Change Order No. 1 and the four
truck tickets included in this invoice, a total of eight truck tickets have now been
submitted.
The new Pay Estimate No. 5 – Revised Final includes payment for the outstanding
invoice plus markup for the total amount of $6,684.35, under Change Order No. 1b. Pay
Estimate No. 4 is still a valid pay estimate as it includes charges that are not included in
Pay Estimate No. 5 – Revised Final. However, Pay Estimate No. 4 is no longer the final
pay estimate for the project.
The original contract amount was $135,185 and the final contract amount is
$141,975.04. The increase of $6,790.04 was due to costs associated with the disposal of
unanticipated organic and saturated soils.
The project is being partially funded through the Washington State Department of
Ecology’s FY 2011 Stormwater Retrofit and LID Grant Program. The grant provides
funding for up to 75% of the total eligible project cost of $274,667. The City’s

matching share of 25% of eligible project cost is $68,667. The adjusted 2014 CIP
budget of $49,000 for the NE 10th Street and Anacortes Avenue NE Detention Pond
Retrofit Project (427.475493) is included the 2014 Carry Forward Ordinance. There is
sufficient budget in the project account to fund the revised final pay estimate and
remaining staff costs.
CONCLUSION:
CCT Construction, Inc. is requesting the City pay for truck tickets that had not been
accounted for to haul and dispose of unanticipated contaminated organic material that
was previously authorized by the City as part of a change order approved by the City in
November 2013. The Surface Water Utility recommends the City Council re-accept the
NE 10th Street and Anacortes Avenue NE Detention Pond Retrofit Project and approve
the new Pay Estimate No. 5 – Revised Final, in the amount of $6,684.35.
