SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton has been awarded a Washington State Public Works Board 2009-2011 Capital Budget
direct appropriation grant in order to undertake infrastructure improvements in an area near Exit 7 of
Interstate 405 within Renton. The improvements are proposed in conjunction with the anticipated
redevelopment of approximately 7.8 acres that has for decades been used as industrial land and
warehouse space. Most recently it has been the site of Pan Abode Cedar Homes’ manufacturing facility.
The Exit 7 Improvements Project area is also adjacent to May Creek. The State’s investment funds a
series of water and stormwater-related infrastructure improvements as well as a regional trail
connection that will act as a critical catalyst to make this development more attractive for major office
location/relocation decisions.
On December 14, 2009, the City Council approved a contract in the amount of $115,775 with Gray and
Osborne, Inc. for design, permitting and preparation of construction plans and specifications for the
Lake Washington Boulevard Hawk's Landing Storm and Water System Improvement Project, which is an
element of these infrastructure improvements. This expenditure, and all related expenditures dating
back to May 15, 2009, will be reimbursed by the State upon execution of this contract.
Additional funding of $100,000 for this project was approved in the 2010 Surface Water Utility Capital
Budget for project management by City staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a contract with the Washington State Public Works Board in the amount of $1,700,000 for a
grant for infrastructure improvements related to the Hawk's Landing development and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.

SUBJECT:Cedar River Trail Replacement – Agreement for Services
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Agreement for Services
with Jr. G Concrete Design, to remove 290 lineal feet of the heaved and cracked Cedar
River Trail, and install a new reinforced concrete walk?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract with Jr. G Concrete Design in
the amount of $32,302.50 for removal of 290 lineal feet of the 10 foot wide concrete
walkway, and install an eight foot wide reinforced concrete walkway. The staff’s
estimate for this work was $25,150.00.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The existing concrete walkway, between Williams Avenue South and Logan Avenue
South, on the south side of the Cedar River, has numerous cracks and trip hazards due to
the adjacent large tree roots. This project will replace only the unsafe portion of the
walkway, using thickened, reinforced concrete edges with a narrower, eight foot wide
footprint. The trees will be root pruned, and the trail will be moved two feet away from
existing trees.
Staff secured three bids from contractors, and Jr. G Concrete Design was the low bidder.
Staff has reviewed the bid for completeness, inclusion of all required forms,
mathematical correctness of the bid, and reference checks. All of the paperwork is in
order.
Staff proposes to accept the bid of $32,302.50.
The Parks Division adjusted budget for 2009 was $457,766.31 for Pathway, Sidewalk,
Patio & Boardwalk Repairs. To date, $258,067.80 has been spent for safety related
maintenance projects, leaving a remaining balance of $199,698.51.

ISSUE:
Should Council approve the consultant agreement with Portland Energy Conservation, Inc.
(PECI), in the amount of $26,153.00, to continue the implementation of the WashWise
Rebate Program in 2010 to the City’s residential water customers who purchase
resource-efficient clothes washing machines in support of the City’s water conservation
efforts?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the consultant agreement with PECI, in the amount of $26,153.00, for the
implementation of the 2010 WashWise for clothes washing machines rebate program in
Renton.
BACKGROUND:
To comply with the Municipal Water Law and Water Use Efficiency Rule (WAC 246-290),
the Water Utility needs to continue to implement its water conservation program and
water use efficiency measures.
Since 2007, Council has approved contracts with PECI to implement the WashWise Rebate
Program. WashWise is a water conservation financial incentive program with a goal to
stimulate wider public acceptance of resource-efficient clothes washers to help stretch
existing water resources and energy supplies. Currently, Puget Sound Energy (PSE),
Seattle Public Utilities, and 27 of Renton’s neighboring cities and water districts
participate in the WashWise program, which is managed by Portland Energy
Conservation, Inc. By participating with the WashWise Program, the City and PSE will
each share half of the rebate payouts.
The WashWise Program offers rebates of $50.00, $75.00, or $100.00 for the purchase and
installation of qualified energy and water-saving clothes washers in residential homes.
The more energy and water the washer saves, the higher the rebate, and the average
savings is more than 20 gallons per machine per day. In 2009, PECI received 355 qualified

H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-25 - Water Dept Public
Relations\WashWiseRebateProgram\PECI-contract-2010\revised-WashWise_issue_paper-2010.doc\AGtp
applications for rebates from City’s residential water customers with an estimated water
saving was 2.96 million gallons. Savings in water consumption from the implementation
of the 2010 WashWise Rebate Program is estimated at 3.23 million gallons.
The 2010 estimated total cost of $26,153.00 includes:
·PECI’s cost to administer and process the WashWise Rebate Program at $32.00 per
rebate request. In 2010, the Water Utility anticipates to receive about 354 rebate
requests for an estimated total administrative cost of $11,328.00.
·Actual rebate payouts to qualified water customers are estimated at $14,825.00.
Professional services and deliverables to be provided by PECI under the consultant
agreement include:
·Program setup and implementation, and production and delivery of promotional
materials to all washing machine retailers.
·Development and distribution of mail-in printed rebate forms to all retailers and for
placement on City’s web site.
·Field training of the City’s staff and retailers involved in the program.
·Provide a toll-free phone line to respond to questions about the program.
·Verification of rebate eligibility and submitted rebate forms, and issuance of checks
for rebates to qualified residential customers within 10 working days of receipt of the
request.
From 2007 to 2009, the WashWise Rebate Program was funded through the annual
budget for water conservation. As part of the City’s budget cost cutting efforts, the Water
Utility reduced the total budget for water conservation by $40,000 from the previous
year’s (2009) budget of $80,000. The Water Utility considered discontinuing the
WashWise Program as part of this cut. Since the WashWise Program is being offered by
all neighboring cities and water districts and the program has been popular with
residents, the Water Utility recommends that Council approve the 2010 WashWise
contract with PECI for $26,153.00 and fund the program using the remaining 2010 budget
for water conservation (account no. 425.000000.018.595.34.63.000/u55200).
CONCLUSION:
The Water Utility needs to continue the implementation of the WashWise Rebate
Program to promote City’s water conservation measures and to comply with the
Municipal Water Law and Water Use Efficiency Rule. Council’s approval of the contract
with Portland Energy Conservation, Inc., is necessary to implement the 2010 WashWise
Rebate Program.

Payment for this work shall not exceed $ 26,153.00 without a written amendment to this contract, agreed to and
signed by both parties.
Cost Plus Net Fee
Payment for work accomplished shall be on the basis of the Consultant's actual cost plus a net fee. The actual cost

direct salary costs are set forth in the attached Exhibit C and by this reference made a part of this
Agreement.
2.The overhead costs as identified on Exhibit C are determined as 175 percent of the direct salary cost and

supplemental agreement is entered into for additional work by the Consultant, the supplemental
agreement will include provision for the added costs and an appropriate additional fee. The net fee will
be prorated and paid monthly in proportion to the percentage of the project completed as estimated in the
Consultant's monthly progress reports and approved by the City. Any portion of the net fee not
previously paid in the monthly payments shall be included in the final payment, subject to the provisions
of Section XI entitled TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
5.Progress payments may be claimed monthly for direct costs actually incurred to date as supported by
detailed statements, for overhead costs and for a proportionate amount of the net fee payable to the
Consultant based on the estimated percentage of the completion of the services to date. Final payment of
any balance due the Consultant of the gross amount earned will be made promptly upon its verification by
the City after completion and acceptance by the City of the work under this Agreement. Acceptance, by
the Consultant of final payment shall constitute full and final satisfaction of all amounts due or claimed to
be due.
Payment for extra work performed under this Agreement shall be paid as agreed to by the parties hereto in writing at
the time extra work is authorized. (Section VIII "EXTRA WORK").

this Agreement, which the Consultant may have against the City unless such claims are specifically reserved in
writing and transmitted to the City by the Consultant prior to its acceptance. Said final payment shall not, however,
be a bar to any claims that the City may have against the Consultant or to any remedies the City may pursue with
respect to such claims.
The Consultant and its subconsultants shall keep available for inspection, by the City, for a period of three years after
final payment, the cost records and accounts pertaining to this Agreement and all items related to, or bearing upon,

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Lake Avenue South/Rainier Avenue South Storm System project will replace approximately 650 feet of existing 24-
inch storm pipe with a new stormwater pipe capable of carrying the peak flow from the drainage basin. The existing
storm system is about 50-years old and a significant portion is in poor structural condition. The project is located
in the vacated right-of-way of Lake Avenue South, primarily in the parking lot for the Safeway store on South 3rd
Street and in the Walker’s Renton Subaru used car lot at the northeast corner of Rainier Avenue South and South 3rd
Street.
The engineering consultant agreement with Parametrix, Inc. will provide surveying, geotechnical investigations,
archaeological investigation, contaminated soils investigation, preliminary engineering, hydraulic analysis, permit
assistance, final engineering, construction plans and specifications, and engineering support during construction
for the new stormwater system. Parametrix, Inc. was selected from the approved 2010 Utility Systems Annual
Consultant Roster.
The project is funded from the Surface Water Utility’s 427 Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Lake
Avenue South/Renton Avenue South Storm System Project, account number 427.475445.018.5950.0038.63.000000.
The approved 2009 CIP budget for the project was $700,000. A total of $692,461 of the project budget remains,
which will be included in the 2010 Carryforward Ordinance request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Engineering Consultant Agreement with Parametrix,
Inc. for design of the Lake Avenue South/Renton Avenue South Storm System Project, in the amount of

prevailing at the time of connection.
3. Remedy:
27 7c. ‐ 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual adoption (See 6.d.)
Page 223 of 244
ORDINANCE NO.
a. The person and/or property owner responsible for an illicit
connection and/or illicit discharge shall initiate and complete all actions
necessary to remedy the effects of such connection or discharge at no cost to
the City.
b. If the person responsible for an illicit connection or illicit discharge
and/or the owner of the property on which the illicit connection or illicit
discharge has occurred fails to address the illicit connection or illicit discharge in
a timely manner, the Administrator or designee shall have the authority to
implement removal or remedial actions following lawful entry upon the
property. Such actions may include, but not be limited to: installation of
monitoring wells; collection and laboratory testing of water, soil, and waste
samples; cleanup and disposal of the illicit discharge, and remediation of soil
and/or groundwater. The property owner and/or other person responsible for
the release of an illicit discharge shall be responsible for any costs incurred by
the Public Works Department or its authorized agents in the conduct of such
remedial actions and shall be responsible for City expenses incurred due to the
illicit connection or illicit discharge, including but not limited to removal and/or
remedial actions in accordance with RMC 1-3-3.
c. Compliance with this subsection G shall be achieved through the
implementation and maintenance of best management practices (BMPs)
described in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual. The Administrator or
designee shall initially rely on education and informational assistance to gain
28 7c. ‐ 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual adoption (See 6.d.)
Page 224 of 244
ORDINANCE NO.
compliance with this subsection G, unless the Administrator or designee
determines a violation poses a hazard to public health, safety, or welfare,
endangers any property and/or other property owned or maintained by the City,
and therefore should be addressed through immediate penalties. The
Administrator or designee may demand immediate cessation of illicit discharges
and assess penalties for violations that are an imminent or substantial danger to
the health or welfare of persons or danger to the environment.
4. Elimination of Illicit Connection and/or Illicit Discharge:
a. Notice of Violation: Whenever the Administrator or designee finds
that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this
Section, he or she may order compliance by written notice of violation to the
property owner and/or responsible person, by first class and certified mail with
return receipt requested. Such notice may require without limitation:
i. The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting by the
violator;
ii. The elimination of illicit connections or discharges;
iii. That violating discharges, practices, or operations shall
immediately cease and desist;
iv. The abatement or remediation of stormwater pollution or
contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property; and
v. The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs. Any
person responsible for a property or premises which is, or may be, the source of
29

an illicit discharge, may be required to implement, at said person's expense,
additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to prevent the further discharge of
pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system and/or waters of the
State. These BMPs shall be part of a stormwater pollution prevention plan
(SWPP) as necessary for compliance with requirements of the NPDES permit.
b. Requirement to Eliminate Illicit Connection: The Administrator or
designee shall send a written notice, sent by first class and certified mail with
return receipt requested to the property owner and/or the person responsible
for the illicit connection, informing the property owner or person responsible for
an illicit connection to the MS4 that the connection must be terminated by a
specified date.
c. Requirement to Eliminate Illicit Discharges: The Administrator or
designee shall send a written notice, sent by first class and certified mail with
return receipt requested to the property owner and/or the person responsible
for the illicit discharge, informing the property owner or person responsible for
an illicit discharge to the MS4, whether it be surface water and/or groundwater,
that the discharge must be terminated by a specified date.
d. Sample and Analysis: When the Administrator or designee has reason
to believe that an illicit connection is resulting in an illicit discharge, the
Administrator or designee may sample and analyze the discharge and recover
the cost of such sampling and analysis from the property owner or person
responsible for such illicit connection or discharge pursuant to RMC 1-3-3, as
30 7c. ‐ 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual adoption (See 6.d.)
Page 226 of 244
ORDINANCE NO.
now or as hereafter may be amended, and require the person permitting or
maintaining the illicit connection and/or discharge to conduct ongoing
monitoring at that person's expense.
e. Right of Appeal from Administrative Decision: Any person aggrieved
by an administrative decision of the Administrator or designee, may appeal such
decision pursuant to RMC 4-8-110.
f. Any illicit connection and/or illicit discharge as set forth in this Section
or the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual is hereby declared to be a
nuisance pursuant to RMC 1-3-3, and as defined in RMC l-3-4A.ll.c(23).
