ISSUE:
Should the City enter into Supplemental Agreement #3 with Perteet, Inc., for
construction management services for the South Lake Washington Roadway

BACKGROUND:
On April 2, 2012, City Council awarded ICON Materials construction contract CAG 12-
021 in the amount of $1,968,690.65 to build the South Lake Washington Roadway
Improvements (Garden Avenue North Widening) Project. The scope and magnitude of
the construction of this project and the recordkeeping it required made it necessary to
retain a professional consulting firm to provide construction management services.
These services included limited construction inspection as necessary to supplement

inspection provided by in-house City resources. On May 3, 2012, contract CAG-12-071
was executed with Perteet, Inc. in the amount of $199,506 to provide these services,
with a completion date of December 31, 2012.
On November 29, 2012, Supplemental Agreement #1 providing additional needed
construction inspection and an extension of the contract completion date from
December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013 was executed, increasing the contract amount
by $54,391 from $199,506 to a new total of $253,897. Since the execution of
Supplement #1, a significant number of construction change orders due to unanticipated
conditions and delays in material delivery have extended the construction contract
completion well beyond the original date. As a result, Perteet, Inc. has had to provide
even more services than were anticipated in its proposal for the original agreement and
Supplement #1.
Supplemental Agreement #2 approved December 5, 2013, extended the expiration date
of the contract to June 30, 2014.
Reallocation from other projects and programs will provide sufficient funding to
complete this project, including this supplement.

Amount Budgeted: $ 29,000 Revenue Generated: $
Total Project Budget: $ 92,902 City Share Total Project: $ 92,902
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The ORCA Business Passport Program is a core element of the City’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
Program for eligible City employees. This contract will continue Renton’s participation in all elements
until February 28, 2015.
The ORCA Business Passport Program allows employers to buy annual passes in bulk at an extreme
discount over the retail pricing. As of 2013, the cost of the ORCA Business Passport is no longer
subsidized by King County Metro or any other agency.
Included in the ORCA Business Passport Program are:
1. Unlimited rides by card holders on bus, light rail, and commuter rail services provided by King County
Metro, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and others
2. 100% VanPool and VanShare subsidies
3. Guaranteed Ride Home Program for all registered participants which provides a free taxi ride home in
the event of an emergency or illness up to eight times per year
The approved budget for this program in 2014 was $29,000. An additional $63,902 is needed to cover
the budget shortfall. This budget amendment will be part of the next Carry Forward Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the transfer of an additional $63,902 to the ORCA Business Passport contract to cover a
potential budget shortfall and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement for
purchase of ORCA Business Cards and ORCA Business Passports with King County Metro Transit.

SUBJECT:2014-2015 ORCA Business Passport Contract
ISSUE:
Should Council approve the transfer of an additional $63,902 to the ORCA Business
Passport contract to cover a potential budget shortfall and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the agreement for purchase of ORCA Business Cards and ORCA
Business Passports with King County Metro Transit?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the transfer of an additional $63,902 to the ORCA Business Passport contract to
cover a potential budget shortfall and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
agreement for purchase of ORCA Business Cards and ORCA Business Passports with King
County Metro Transit.
BACKGROUND:
In order to reduce congestion and improve air quality, Washington State passed a
Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law in the early 1990s. The CTR law requires employers
with 100 or more employees arriving to work between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 a.m.
to have transportation programs for their employees that encourage the use of
alternatives to single occupancy vehicles. Under the CTR law, the City of Renton is
classified as a CTR affected employer.
During the past 15 years the City has entered into annual agreements with transit
agencies to purchase public transit passes in bulk at a reduced rate. These passes are
provided to each regular City employee as a core fundamental piece of the City’s CTR
Program. This program is paid for out of the general fund.

The ORCA Business Passport offers unlimited rides on Sound Transit, King County Metro
Transit, Pierce Transit and others. It covers travel on buses, light rail, and commuter
rail. In addition, it features 100% subsidies for VanPool and VanShare participants of
King County Metro, Community, Kitsap and Pierce transit vehicles, as well as a
Guaranteed Ride Home Program (free emergency taxi service for employees).
In 2013-2014 the retail value of transit services used by City staff is estimated to be
approximately $146,000. Vanpool participation comprised the largest share of this
value with approximately $95,600 spent on its services. Sounder, light rail, and bus
usage cost approximately $35,500 with an additional $14,700 for VanShare (VanShare
provides older Metro vans for connection between City Hall and the Sounder Station).
The Guaranteed Ride Home Program costs approximately $500.
The cost for the time period of March 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015 is $464.51 per pass.
This is a significant savings over buying the passes through King County Metro Transit
outside of the ORCA Business Passport Program. If passes were purchased in lesser
quantities, each equivalent pass could cost as much as $2,268. Additionally, these
passes would not include other benefits of the FlexPass Program, such as Guaranteed
Ride Home or the 100% VanShare and VanPool subsidies.
This agreement allows for the purchase of 200 passes at a total cost of $92,902 for use
by eligible City employees.
The $29,000 budgeted in 2014 assumed the program would be revised by eliminating
ORCA Business Passport passes for employees and replacing them with a $50/month
subsidy for staff that utilizes transit. However, this change in benefits has not been
negotiated with the labor unions, therefore the ORCA Business Passport Program must
be renewed.
$40,521 of the needed $63,902 will come from 2014 salary savings for the unfilled
Principal Financial Analyst position and the remaining $23,381 will come from the
General Fund. The budget amendment will be part of the next Carry Forward Ordinance.

Should the Council approve Amendment #1 to CAG 12-132 with SRG Partnership for an
increased fee in the amount of $806,142, for the Central Sound Aerospace Training
Center and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment #1 to CAG 12-132 with SRG Partnership for an increased fee in the
amount of $806,142, for the Central Sound Aerospace Training Center and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The state recently awarded the City two additional appropriations equaling $9,950,000
to expand the scope of the Central Sound Aerospace Training Center. This also
increases the architectural services needed to complete the expanded project scope.
This amendment will increase the design effort to complete the expanded facility.
Since the contract was first executed, the scope of the project and grant funding has
increased. Originally, the state appropriated $2.4M for the project. As regional
aerospace needs were identified, the scope of the project evolved from meeting local
training demand to meeting regional aerospace training demand. In 2013, the state
appropriated an additional $9.95M to the project. Architectural and engineering efforts
for this project have increased due to the scope increase.

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Addendum No. 1 to CAG-13-023 with
CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. for the Harrington Avenue NE Green Connections Phase II
Project to design bioretention stormwater facilities and permeable concrete sidewalks

amount of $106,538.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Renton completed and adopted the Sunset Community Plan and Planned
Action Environmental Impact Statement that evaluated potential impacts of
redevelopment in the Sunset Area and required infrastructure. As part of this effort the
City developed and adopted the Sunset Area Surface Water Master Plan, which
identifies stormwater improvements to convey, treat, and infiltrate runoff from the
existing and future land cover conditions. Recommended improvements included in the
retrofit of Harrington Avenue NE to integrate green connections (bioretention
stormwater facilities and permeable pavement) into the existing right-of-way between
NE 16th Street and NE 7th Street (vicinity map attached). Preliminary design work to
collect data on subsurface conditions and update existing hydrologic and hydraulic
analysis to refine sizing of the green connections has been completed by CH2M Hill

Engineers, Inc. as part of the Engineering Consultant Agreement CAG-12-048, which was
approved by Council on March 30, 2012.
The purpose of the Harrington Avenue NE Green Connections Phase II Project is to
provide stormwater quality treatment for the street pollution generating impervious
surfaces and tributary areas in the Sunset Area community by providing enhanced basic
water quality treatment prior to discharging into Johns Creek. The project will install
bioretention stormwater facilities and permeable concrete sidewalk improvements
along Harrington Avenue NE from Sunset Boulevard NE to NE 7th Street.
The Harrington Avenue NE Green Connections Project is divided into two phases.
Phase I will install bioretention stormwater facilities and permeable concrete sidewalk
improvements along Harrington Avenue NE between NE 16th Street and NE 10th Street.
Phase II consists of designing bioretention stormwater facilities and permeable concrete
sidewalk improvements along Harrington Avenue NE between Sunset Boulevard NE and
NE 7th Street.
The proposed work to be completed under Addendum No. 1 to CAG-13-023, in the
amount of $106,538, will complete the Harrington Avenue NE Green Connections
Phase II project design. Work will include data collection, survey and basemap
preparation, permitting support, pre-final design of the facility, preparation of
construction plans and specifications, a technical information report and project
management. The project design is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2014. In
accordance with the funding agreement with Washington State Department of Ecology
(Ecology), the project’s 90% plans must be completed by August 1, 2014. All project
work and grant close-out must be completed by January 31, 2015.
The approved 2014 CIP budget for the Harrington Avenue NE Green Connections
Phase II Project (427.475500) is $120,000. The project is fully funded by Task 3 of
Ecology’s FY 2013 Municipal Stormwater Capacity Grant Agreement No. G1400283
($120,000), which was approved by Council on November 18, 2013. The remaining
