The incentive will sunset on December 31, 2009, unless extended by City Council action. The Downtown Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive currently applies to new construction projects with 100% of the housing units platted or condominium “For Sale” housing in the CD, RM-U, or RM-T of the Urban Center Comprehensive Plan designation. As part of the City’s efforts to implement the recommendations of the Highlands Phase II Task Force and, in particular, to develop a package of redevelopment incentives for the Highlands, staff recommends extending the owner-occupied housing incentive to the CV, RM-F, and R-14 zones within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation. The Downtown Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive was useful in helping to establish the 37-unit 55 Williams project in 2002 and the 50-unit Chateau de Ville project in 2008, both new owner-occupied condo projects Downtown. To encourage additional new owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton and in the Sunset Area, staff recommends that the Council extend the owner-occupied housing incentive for an additional three years to December 31, 2012. Staff also recommends modifying the application process to reflect the current organizational structure for the Department of Community and Economic Development. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance to amend the Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive in RMC 4-1-210B to include the CV, RM- F, and R-14 zones within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation as eligible areas, to modify the application process, and to extend the sunset clause for the owner-occupied housing incentive for three years to December 31, 2012, unless further extended by City Council action. 6d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐210.B. to modify the application process, and to Page 6 of 329 6d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐210.B. to modify the application process, and to Page 7 of 329 1 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:November 30, 2009 TO:Council President Don Persson Members of the Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Alex Pietsch, Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Mark Santos-Johnson, Senior Economic Development Specialist - ext. 6584 SUBJECT:Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive – Extension and Modifications ISSUE: Should the City extend the Downtown Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive provided for in RMC 4-1-210B and currently scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2009? Additionally, should the City modify the owner-occupied housing incentive to include the Sunset Area? Finally, should the City modify the application process to conform to the current organizational structure for the Department of Community and Economic Development? RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance to amend the Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive in RMC 4-1-210B to include the CV, RM-F, and R-14 zones within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation as eligible areas, to modify the application process, and to extend the sunset clause for the owner-occupied housing incentive for three years to December 31, 2012, unless further extended by City Council action. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In August 2001, the Renton City Council approved Ordinance No. 4913 (codified in RMC 4-1-210Bas subsequently amended) to allow certain development and mitigation fees for “For Sale”housing to be waived to encourage owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton. TheDowntown Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive currently applies to new construction projectswith 100% of the housing units platted or condominium “For Sale” housing in the CD, RM-U, orRM-T of the Urban Center Comprehensive Plan designation. The Downtown Owner-OccupiedHousing Incentive is scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2009, unless extended by City Council 6d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐210.B. to modify the application process, and to Page 8 of 329 2 action.1 1 The waived fees incentive was initially scheduled to sunset in October 2004, but the City Council previously extended the sunset to October 1, 2007, and later to December 31, 2009. To date, there have been four projects approved for the owner-occupied housing incentive. Two projects have been completed - the 37-unit 55 Williams and the 50-unit Chateau de Ville condominium projects in Downtown Renton. Two projects are pending – the 24-unit Chelsea condominium project and the 5-unit Blakey townhomes project2, both in Downtown Renton. The first three projects are all located in the CD and the last project is located in the RM-T. The RM-U zone has not had any projects to date. 2 The proposed 24-unit Chelsea condo project and five-unit Blakey townhomes project were approved when the City required a minimum of four owner-occupied housing units in Downtown Renton to be eligible for the incentive. In 2007, the City Council increased the minimum number of owner-occupied housing units in Downtown Renton to ten for the RM-T zone and 30 for the CD and RM-U zones to encourage land assembly and/or larger scale projects and correspond with the size thresholds used for the Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption as codified in RMC 4-1-220. The 87 completed owner-occupied housing units to date is relatively small compared to the number of apartment units built in Downtown Renton in the past ten years and the capacity for additional housing units in Downtown Renton. Example of Potential Development and Mitigation Savings Based on the analysis completed at the time, the 55 Williams project with 37 units was expected to receive a total savings of approximately $118,994 from the owner-occupied housing incentive, including $43,748 in fire, transportation and parks mitigation fees, $41,440 in water and wastewater system development charges, and $33,806 in building permit fees. (There were no surface water system development charges since 100% of the site was already an impervious surface from the prior use.) The incentive worked out to a savings of approximately $3,216 per unit. The Chateau de Ville project with 50 units was expected to receive a total savings of approximately $169,485 from the owner-occupied housing incentive, including $59,100 in fire, transportation and parks mitigation fees, $73,465 in water, wastewater system development and surface water charges, and $36,919 in building permit fees. The incentive worked out to a savings of approximately $3,390 per unit. Extension and Modification of Owner-Occupied Housing Incentive For the 55 Williams condo project (completed in 2002) and the Chateau de Ville condo project (completed in 2008), it took and is taking, respectively, substantially longer to sell the condo units than each developer typically experienced in other areas. In 2007, the Wasatch group changed the Renaissance apartments in Downtown Renton to Revo 225 and started marketing updated units as condominiums. Unfortunately, sales of the condo units did not go as well as expected and the majority of the units in the building remain apartments. Although the Washington State Legislature has made some progress in addressing the liability issues related to condos to help stimulate more condo development in the state, many 6d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐210.B. to modify the application process, and to Page 9 of 329 3 developers are still reluctant or unwilling to build condos. In addition, construction financing remains very difficult to secure in the current economic environment. For developers who are building new condos or converting apartments to condominiums, there are other stronger market areas for them to develop their projects than Downtown Renton. Consequently, it is still a challenge to promote new owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton. Although there continues to be interest in creating more condominium units in Downtown Renton, staff believes that the waived fees incentive is still necessary to encourage new owner-occupied development in Downtown Renton. As part of the City’s efforts to implement the recommendations of the Highlands Phase II Task Force, the Economic Development and Neighborhoods Division was charged with developing a package of redevelopment incentives for the Highlands. Staff believes that the waived fees incentive applied to owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton could be very useful for encouraging similar new construction in the Sunset Area. The Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption (Exemption) codified in RMC4-1-220 currently includes both Downtown Renton and the Highlands as designated residential targeted areas eligible for a limited property tax exemption to encourage multi-family housing development, including either apartments or “For Sale” housing. The Exemption has been successfully used to date by four projects in Downtown Renton and one project in the Highlands, the 217-unit Harrington Square project. The owner-occupied housing incentive, if extended to include the Sunset Area, would provide an additional benefit to encourage developers to build new owner-occupied housing in the area. Finally, the application process for the owner-occupied housing incentive in RMC 4-1-210B4 states that the application must be made to the Development Services Director. Since Current Planning is now part of the Planning Division, this should be changed to the Planning Director. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: To encourage more owner-occupied housing in the Sunset Area and provide an additional incentive for redevelopment in the area, staff recommends extending the owner-occupied housing incentive to the Center Village (CV), Residential Multi-Family (RM-F), and Residential 14 Dwelling Units/Acre (R-14) zones within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation. An eligible project in the CV zone would need to have a minimum of 30 owner-occupied housing and an eligible project in either the RM-F or R-14 zones would need to have a minimum of ten owner-occupied housing units. These are the same minimum number of housing units used for the Exemption for the CV, RM-F, and R-14 zones within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation. To encourage additional new owner-occupied housing Downtown and in the Sunset Area, staff recommends that the Council extend the owner-occupied housing incentive for an additional three years to December 31, 2012. Staff also recommends modifying the application process to reflect the current organizational 6d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐210.B. to modify the application process, and to Page 10 of 329 4 structure for the Department of Community and Economic Development. Please refer to the attached redline version of the proposed text for RMC 4-1-210B for more information. The proposed extension and modifications support the City’s vision as the center of opportunity in the Puget Sound region where businesses and families thrive and the following 2009-2014 Business Plan Goals: ·Encourage and partner in the development of quality housing choices for people of all ages and income levels; and ·Capitalize on growth opportunities through bold and creative economic development strategies; and ·Continue redevelopment efforts Downtown, in the Highlands, and South Lake Washington. The proposed extension and modifications also promote community stability by increasing the percentage of homeowners in Renton. CONCLUSION: The owner-occupied housing incentive established in August 2001 was useful in helping to establish the 37-unit 55 Williams in 2002 and the 50-unit Chateau de Ville project in 2008 as new owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton. Staff believes that extending the owner-occupied housing incentive through December 31, 2012, and including the Sunset Area will greatly enhance future redevelopment opportunities for both Downtown Renton and the Sunset Area. In particular, the proposed amendments will help achieve the City’s vision and improve future prospects for additional new owner-occupied housing in Downtown Renton and the Sunset Area.

The Exemption includes a provision for accepting new applications to sunset on December 31, 2009, unless extended by City Council action. The Exemption currently includes two designated residential targeted areas, “Downtown” and the “Highlands”. To correspond with the recent planning effort in the Sunset Area, staff recommends changing the “Highlands” designated residential targeted area to the “Sunset Area.” Aside from the name change, the existing purpose and applicability of the property tax exemption and the eligible zoning and boundary of the current designated residential targeted areas will remain the same. The Exemption has been very useful in helping stimulate new construction of multi-family housing in the City’s designated residential targeted areas. To encourage additional multi-family housing Downtown and in the Sunset Area, staff recommends that the Council extend the multi-family housing property tax exemption for an additional three years to December 31, 2012. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance to amend the Property Tax Exemption for Multi-Family Housing in Residential Targeted Areas in RMC 4-1-220 to rename the “Highlands” designated residential targeted area as the “Sunset Area” and extend the sunset clause for accepting new applications for the multi-family housing property tax exemption for three years to December 31, 2012, unless further extended by City Council 6e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐220 to rename the "Highlands" designated Page 19 of 329 action. 6e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐220 to rename the "Highlands" designated Page 20 of 329 1 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:November 30 , 2009 TO:Council President Don Persson Members of the Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Alex Pietsch, Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Mark Santos-Johnson, Senior Economic Development Specialist - ext. 6584 SUBJECT:Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption – Extension and Modification ISSUE: Should the City extend the Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption (Exemption) provided for in RMC 4-1-220 and currently scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2009. Additionally, should the City rename the “Highlands” designated residential targeted area as the “Sunset Area?” RECOMMENDATION: Adopt an ordinance to amend the Property Tax Exemption for Multi-Family Housing in Residential Targeted Areas in RMC 4-1-220 to rename the “Highlands” designated residential targeted area as the “Sunset Area” and extend the sunset clause for accepting new applications for the multi-family housing property tax exemption for three years to December 31, 2012, unless further extended by City Council action. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Overview of Current Exemption Program As authorized by Chapter 84.14 RCW, the City Council established a property tax exemption incentive in 2003 (codified in RMC 4-1-220 as subsequently amended) to encourage multi-family housing development currently in the following designated residential targeted areas1: 1 In August 2008, the City Council removed the South Lake Washington area as a designated residential targeted area after the Exemption was used by three projects with a total of 1,075 housing units. ·Highlands: Within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation and in one of the following: the Center Village (CV) zone, the Residential Multi-Family (RM-F) zone, or the Residential 10 Dwelling Units/Acre (R-10) zone; and · 6e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐220 to rename the "Highlands" designated Page 21 of 329 2 Downtown: In the Center Downtown (CD) zone, Residential Multi-Family Urban Center (RM-U) zone, or Residential Multi-Family Traditional (RM-T) zone. In addition to being located in one of the designated residential targeted areas noted above, eligible multi-family housing projects must, for example, be newly constructed and have a minimum of 30 attached dwelling units if located in the CD zone or Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation and in the Center Village (CV) zone. Eligible projects must currently have a minimum of ten attached dwelling units if located in one of the other zones noted above. 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. Example of Potential Exemption Savings As noted above, the Exemption applies to all levels of the ad valorem property tax, including the local jurisdiction, county, state, and all local taxing districts. For projects in Renton, this amounts to a total of $9.95264 per $1,000 of assessed value for 2009. The value of the property tax exemption will of course be determined by the nature, quality, and cost of the multi-family housing (e.g., size, type, parking, and amenities). For example, the estimated property tax savings related to the Exemption approved earlier this year for the 92-unit Liberty Square Apartments are approximately $95,193 per year ($1,142,321 total for the 12-year period2). 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). For reference purposes, the total development cost for the land and all improvements for this workforce housing project was $18.4 million. 2 Since 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, the project is eligible for the limited property tax exemption for twelve rather than eight years. 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. Exemption Projects Approved to Date As noted in Figure 1 below, the City has approved nine multi-family housing projects to date with a total of 1,795 housing units, including 1,745 rental apartments and 50 for-sale condominiums. The projects are located in all three of the historical designated residential targeted areas, including five Downtown (503 housing units), three in South Lake Washington (1,075 housing units), and one in the Highlands (217 housing units). The projects range in size 6e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐220 to rename the "Highlands" designated Page 22 of 329 3 from 50 housing units to 440 housing units with an average of 199 housing units per project.

The new “Sunset Area” label attempts to better identify the local neighborhood along Sunset Boulevard NE (centered at Harrington Avenue NE) and to differentiate the area from the larger Highlands or East Plateau community planning areas in NE Renton. As part of the City’s efforts to implement the recommendations of the Highlands Phase II Task Force, the Economic Development and Neighborhoods Division was charged with developing a package of redevelopment incentives for the Highlands. In a separate agenda bill, staff recommends that the waived fees incentive provided for in RMC 4-1-210B for owner-occupied housing in downtown Renton be extended to the Sunset Area. Likewise, staff believes that the continuation of the Exemption is an essential part of the incentives package to promote further redevelopment of the Sunset Area. Please see Attachment 1 for a map with the Downtown and proposed Sunset Area designated residential targeted areas for the Exemption. Extension The Exemption has been very useful in helping stimulate new construction of multi-family housing in the City’s designated residential targeted areas. To encourage additional multi-family housing Downtown and in the Sunset Area, staff recommends that the Council extend the multi-family housing property tax exemption for an additional three years to December 31, 2012, unless further extended by City Council action. As noted in figure 1 above, the City has approved nine multi-family housing projects to date with a total of 1,795 housing units. To date, six projects have been completed (with 1,037 6e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends  amending RMC 4‐1‐220 to rename the "Highlands" designated Page 23 of 329 4 housing units) and two projects are under construction (with 657 housing units). One project, the 2nd & Main Apartments, is proposed (with 101 housing units). The owner had hoped to start construction in fall-2008, but has been unable to secure financing. The land/proposed project is currently on the market for sale. Of the eight projects completed or under construction, four projects with 635 housing units are located Downtown and one project, the Harrington Square Apartments with 217 housing units, is located in the Highlands; the balance of the projects and housing units were located in South Lake Washington. The Exemption, if extended, would continue to encourage developers to build new multi-family housing in Downtown Renton and the Sunset Area. Summary The proposed modification and extension support the City’s vision as the center of opportunity in the Puget Sound region where businesses and families thrive and the following 2009-2014 Business Plan Goals: ·Encourage and partner in the development of quality housing choices for people of all ages and income levels; and ·Capitalize on growth opportunities through bold and creative economic development strategies; and ·Continue redevelopment efforts downtown, in the Highlands, and South Lake Washington. The Exemption also supports affordable workforce housing development so that Renton employees can live in the community where they work to help combat transportation congestion and related environmental impacts. Due to the lack of financing and other challenges in the current economy, there is limited interest in new market-rate multi-family housing development. However, as financing improves and more developers seek out opportunities for new projects in the region, staff believes that the Exemption will again be a critical incentive to help bring private capital investment to the two designated residential targeted areas in Renton. Please refer to Attachment 3 for a redline version of the proposed text amendments for RMC 4-1-220D and 4-1-220M. CONCLUSION: The City has used the Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption since 2003 to encourage increased residential opportunities within designated urban centers that lack sufficient, desirable, and convenient residential housing. Staff believes that extending the Exemption through December 31, 2012, will greatly enhance future redevelopment opportunities for both Downtown Renton and the Sunset Area. In particular, the proposed amendments will help achieve the City’s vision and improve future prospects for additional new multi-family housing in Downtown Renton and the Sunset Area.

RTC is the host institution and the entity directly responsible for the contract with Washington State University, who administers the Renton SBDC. Therefore, it is appropriate that the City pass these funds to RTC. This revised MOU directs that action.

The term "fair market rent" means the rate per rentable square foot per year (including increases therein over the Extended Term) that a new, willing, non-equity tenant would pay in an arms-length transaction for the Premises (taking into account any Landlord-provided Tenant Improvements or other Landlord concessions Landlord elects to offer), or for comparable space in the Building , if any, or for comparable space in comparable buildings in Renton, Washington, for leases having a five (5) year term in all cases with the same base year as this Lease Landlord and Tenant agree the fair market rent for the Extended Term shall be determined as follows: a.Promptly after Landlord receives the Option Notice, the parties (or their designated representatives) shall meet and attempt to agree on the fair market rent for the Extended Term. If the parties have not agreed on the fair market rent for the Extended Term within one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord receives the Option Notice, then unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the following paragraphs. The last day of such one hundred twenty (120) day period (as the same may be extended by the written agreement of the parties) is referred to in this Lease as the "Arbitration Commencement Date". b.Within fifteen (15) days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, each party shall provide the other party with written notice (a "Rent Notice") of its determination of fair market rent. The matter shall then be submitted for decision to an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be a licensed real estate broker who has been active over the five (5) year period ending on the Arbitration Commencement Date in the leasing of office properties in Renton, Washington and has not during that period been retained by either party. If Landlord and Tenant are 6j. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a five‐ year lease extension to LAG‐01‐006, with King County Sexual Assault Page 81 of 329 unable to agree on the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, each shall select a broker who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above, and so notify the other party in writing within ten (10) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period. The two brokers so chosen by the parties shall then appoint the arbitrator within ten (10) days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed broker.

Negotiations are underway to create a new agreement aligned with the types of agreements executed with Fire District 40, based on the costs to provide service instead of the revenue generated by the tax levy. Council is requested to consider an agreement negotiated with Fire District 25 for a ten-year term of service based on one-half the cost to operate Station 16 in East Renton. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to execute the interlocal agreement with Fire District 25 and adopt the resolution. 6k. ‐ Executive Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with King County Fire District 25 to provide fire and Page 85 of 329 6k. ‐ Executive Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with King County Fire District 25 to provide fire and Page 86 of 329 DRAFT 12/27/2009 9:37 AM Page 1 of 11 FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES OPERATING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF RENTON AND KING COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT #25 I.Parties The parties to this agreement are the City of Renton, a State of Washington Municipal Corporation, referred to herein as the City, and King County Fire Protection District #25, a State of Washington Municipal Corporation, referred to herein as the District. II.Purpose Both Parties are authorized under the provisions of RCW 39.34.080 and 52.08.035 to contract with each other to establish emergency medical and fire/rescue services for the citizens within their respective boundaries. The purpose of this agreement is to set out terms of such service. Both parties desire to maintain the service within their respective boundaries in the entire service area, and believe that this will be most effectively furnished by establishing services on a contractual basis in the manner provided herein. III.Services and Payment A.Level of Service. The City shall provide emergency medical and fire/rescue fire and emergency services within the jurisdictional limits of both parties’ boundaries pursuant to this agreement. : B.The level of service shall be based on the Fire & Emergency Services Department’s operational service plan developed by the Fire & Emergency Services Department and approved by the Board of Commissioners prior to November of each year and as approved by the City Council. In preparing the budget for fire services, the City of Renton shall prepare or revise the operational services plan for the District's review, identifying incidents and responses in the service area, reporting on accomplishments, outlining the prospective work plan initiatives, summarizing departmental budget and staff resources, and identifying capital needs. C.Services Provided. The City agrees to provide to the residents of District 25 the same level of emergency medical and fire/rescue services, to include administrative oversight, logistical and training support as provided to residents of the City of Renton, consistent with the next section, Costs of Services. The District agrees to pay the costs of this level of service in two equal semi-annual payments made in May and November, with the payment amount to be adjusted annually based on the adoption of the City of Renton budget, the operational services plan, and with agreement of the Board as outlined in this section. Costs 6k. ‐ Executive Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with King County Fire District 25 to provide fire and Page 87 of 329 DRAFT 12/27/2009 9:37 AM Page 2 of 11 of service for this contract are based on the City of Renton’s costs to operate one fire station (Station 16) including staffing and vehicles. D.Description of Cost of Services. Service model costs are based on the fully loaded cost for on-duty full-time equivalent response operations staffing, necessary “fill-factor,” and administrative costs based on the on-duty response operations staffing allocated to the district and calculating department and city overhead percentages. Costs of service for this contract are based on the City of Renton’s costs to operate one fire station (Station 16) with one engine in the service area of Fire District 25 shared with the City of Renton. In recognition of the mutual benefits that accrue to both jurisdictions by the location of Fire Station 16, and that responses into the City exceed the volume of responses into the District, the District will pay 50% of the total costs to operate Station 16. Costs of service are derived by multiplying the number of staff needed to provide service by the City of Renton’s salary and benefit costs for that year. Service model costs are based on the cost for an on-duty staff position, fully loaded with department and city overhead percentages. The resulting direct service cost is then multiplied by a departmental overhead and city-wide overhead factor. All three figures are then added together to reach a total cost of service. Costs will be adjusted annually at the time of adoption of the City of Renton budget and will be in effect for the following year, and subject to Board review and approval. The District agrees that the costs of service and resulting annual payment from the District to City will be based on a cost escalation factor based on the City of Renton’s costs of service. For 2010, the District’s annualized cost of service under this agreement total $1,116,486. The Fire & Emergency Services Administrator will produce an operational services plan by November of each year for the review and agreement of the Board that illustrates the City’s costs for the upcoming year. The primary unit of cost is the number of 24-hour on-duty positions employed to provide emergency medical and fire/rescue services. Once on-duty staffing is determined, a backfill factor is calculated based on Renton’s leave/time-off averages and will be calculated annually as a part of the operations services plan. Renton’s operations backfill factor is 4.3 per on-duty position (that is, for every three firefighters on duty, four FTE positions are needed to provide 24-hour coverage, with the additional 0.3 FTE added in the form of overtime dollars). The backfill factor is based on the number of staff persons needed based on leave/time-off averages for the prior three years. “Departmental overhead” refers to the Fire & Emergency Services Department’s non-response operations related costs, which is the proportion of all 6k. ‐ Executive Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with King County Fire District 25 to provide fire and Page 88 of 329 DRAFT 12/27/2009 9:37 AM Page 3 of 11 non-uniformed support within the department to all uniformed support and includes supplies, other services and charges, costs of intergovernmental services, capital outlay, and interfund payments. “City-wide overhead” consists of support for the Fire Department’s share of city-wide Finance, Human Resources, and Legal Services costs. Overhead costs relating to the Mayor, City Council, or other internal service departments are not included in the overhead charges to the District. E.Effect of Annexation. The parties agree that upon annexation the City will to adjust the annual costs of service as follows: 1)In consideration for a long-term contractual relationship, the City and Fire District agree that in the spirit of RCW 35A.14, the City of Renton will calculate and inform both parties as to the cumulative total of valuation of the District’s area that has been annexed by the City and removed from the District beginning on January 1, 2010, and annually thereafter. Annual adjustments will be made to the base valuation as a result of re-evaluations by the King County Assessor’s Office, new construction and reductions as a result of annexation. 2)The percentage change in assessed valuation removed from the District due to annexation will be deducted from the total estimated cost of service for the following year, pro-rated by month and credited for the prior year. This adjusted base cost of service will be used for future calculations. 3)In the spirit of RCW 35A.14.380, at any time after the total remaining valuation of the Fire District becomes less than 40% of the 2010 base ($360,873,319), the District may choose to go to a vote of the people remaining in the District to determine if District residents desire to transfer the ongoing responsibility for the delivery of fire and emergency medical services to the City in exchange for the net value of remaining assets and continued annual payment to the City of a reasonable fee for services. If approved by the voters of the District, the responsibility would transfer to the City for the net value of remaining assets and the fee would be set by the District agreeing to levy the maximum regular tax rate permitted by statute subject to RCW 84.55.010. Alternatively, the district and the city may agree that the city will annex the remainder of the district into the city in accordance with state law provided that some of Fire District 25 will always remain outside of the urban growth boundary. IV.Administration The Fire and Emergency Services Administrator shall be an employee of the City under the direction of the City’s Chief Administrative Officer. It is understood that the authority to hire, discipline, commend, or terminate the Fire and Emergency Services Administrator rests with the Mayor.

David Daniels, Fire Chief/Emergency Services Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Bill Flora, Deputy Fire Chief, Response Operations SUBJECT:King County’s Homeland Security Subgrant Agreement for Shoring & Cribbing Heavy Rescue Equipment ISSUE Should the City approve the Homeland Security Subgrant Agreement that will fund shoring and cribbing heavy rescue equipment for the Fire & Emergency Services Department? RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the Homeland Security Subgrant Agreement with King County for shoring and cribbing heavy rescue equipment funding. BACKGROUND This project would fund the purchase and deployment of $81,750 worth of heavy rescue shoring and cribbing units for the City of Renton and King County. These rescue systems allow rescuers to stabilize otherwise dangerous areas to support rescue activity. Widely used in urban search and rescue, trench and confined space scenarios, this technology also has search and rescue applications for weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and all-hazards scenarios. This existing technology has been widely and successfully deployed in King County and nationwide. Its chief advantage is that it augments and quickens the pace of search and rescue operations. It is simple to operate, training requirements are straight forward and it is easily storable and transportable. The initial deployment of these units has shown them to be effective, reliable and rugged. This project adds capacity to the region by increasing the availability of this capability to more responders. CONCLUSION King County’s Homeland Security Subgrant Agreement is vital to supporting and further developing urban search and rescue efforts for the City and King County.

Mass arrest situations can result from the aforementioned disturbances. Participants in this unlawful activity or the tactics they employ will usually out-stretch the resources of any one, single agency to effectively and efficiently handle the situation. A multi-jurisdictional effort to handle acts of civil disobedience, passive and active demonstrations, as well as riots will result in more effective pooling of personnel, improved utilization of municipal funds, reduced duplication of equipment, improved training, development of specialized expertise, and increased utilization /application of a combined civil disturbance unit. The results will be improved services for all of the participating agencies, increased safety for officers and the community, and improved cost effectiveness.

XI.EQUIPMENT, TRAINING, AND BUDGET Each participating jurisdiction shall acquire the equipment of its participating VCDU 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 165 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 4 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 members. Each participating jurisdiction shall provide sufficient funds to update, replace, repair, and maintain the equipment and supplies utilized by its participating VCDU members. Each participating jurisdiction shall provide sufficient funds to provide for training of its participating VCDU members. The equipment, supplies, and training provided by each jurisdiction to its personnel participating in the VCDU shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board, be equal to those provided by the other participating jurisdictions. Each member jurisdiction shall maintain an independent budget system to account for funds allocated and expended by its participating VCDU members. The Board must approve any joint capital expenditure for VCDU equipment. XII.DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS UPON TERMINATION Termination shall be in accordance with those procedures set forth in prior sections. Each participating jurisdiction shall retain sole ownership of equipment purchased and provided to its participating VCDU members. Any assets acquired with joint funds of the VCDU shall be equally divided among the participating jurisdictions at the asset’s fair market value upon termination. The value of the assets of the VCDU shall be determined by using commonly accepted methods of valuation. If two (2) or more participating jurisdictions desire an asset, the final decision shall be made by arbitration (described below). Any property not claimed shall be declared surplus by the Board and disposed of pursuant to state law for the disposition of surplus property. The proceeds from the sale or disposition of any VCDU property, after payment of any and all costs of sale or debts of the VCDU, shall be equally distributed to those jurisdictions participating in the VCDU at the time of dissolution. In the event that one (1) or more jurisdictions terminate their participation in the VCDU, but the VCDU continues to exist, the jurisdiction terminating participation shall be deemed to have waived any right or title to any property owned by the VCDU or to share in the proceeds at the time of dissolution. Arbitration pursuant to this section shall occur as follows: A.The jurisdictions interested in an asset shall select one (1) person (Arbitrator) to determine which jurisdiction will receive the property. If the jurisdictions cannot agree to an Arbitrator, the chiefs of the jurisdictions participating in the VCDU upon dissolution shall meet to determine who the Arbitrator will be. The Arbitrator may be any person not employed by the jurisdictions that desire the property. B.During a meeting with the Arbitrator, each jurisdiction interested in the property shall be permitted to make an oral and/or written presentation to the Arbitrator in support of its position. C.At the conclusion of the presentation, the Arbitrator shall determine which jurisdiction is to receive the property. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final. 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 166 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 5 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 XIII.LIABILITY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFICATION It is the intent of the participating jurisdictions to provide services of the VCDU without the threat of being subject to liability to one another and to fully cooperate in the defense of any claims or lawsuits arising out of or connected with VCDU actions that are brought against the jurisdictions. To this end, the participating jurisdictions agree to equally share responsibility and liability for the acts or omissions of their participating personnel when acting in furtherance of this Agreement. In the event that an action is brought against any of the participating jurisdictions, each jurisdiction shall be responsible for an equal share of any award for or settlement of claims of damages, fines, fees, or costs, regardless of which jurisdiction or employee the action is taken against or which jurisdiction or employee is ultimately responsible for the conduct. The jurisdictions shall share equally regardless of the number of jurisdictions named in the lawsuit or claim or the number of officers from each jurisdiction named in the lawsuit or claim. This section shall be subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in subsections A through G below. A.Jurisdiction Not Involved In VCDU Response. In the event that a jurisdiction or its personnel were not involved in the VCDU response to the incident that gives rise to a claim or lawsuit, and judgment on the claim or lawsuit does not, in any manner, implicate the acts of the particular jurisdiction or its personnel, such jurisdiction shall not be required to share responsibility for the payment of the judgment or award. B.Intentionally Wrongful Conduct Beyond the Scope of Employment. Nothing herein shall require, or be interpreted to require indemnification or sharing in the payment of any judgment against any VCDU personnel for intentionally wrongful conduct that is outside of the scope of employment of any individual or for any judgment of punitive damages against any individual or jurisdiction. Payment of any award for punitive damages shall be the sole responsibility of the person or jurisdiction that employs the person against whom such award is rendered. C.Collective Representation and Defense. The jurisdictions may retain joint legal counsel to collectively represent and defend the jurisdictions in any legal action. Those jurisdictions retaining joint counsel shall share equally the costs of such representation or defense. In the event a jurisdiction does not agree to joint representation, the jurisdiction shall be solely responsible for all attorneys’ fees accrued by its individual representation or defense. The jurisdictions and their respective defense counsel shall make a good faith attempt to cooperate with other participating jurisdictions by, including but not limited to, providing all documentation requested, and making VCDU members available for depositions, discovery, settlement conferences, strategy meetings, and trial. D.Removal From Lawsuit. In the event a jurisdiction or employee is 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 167 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 6 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 successful in withdrawing or removing the jurisdiction or employee from a lawsuit by summary judgment, qualified immunity, or otherwise, the jurisdiction shall nonetheless be required to pay its equal share of any award for or settlement of the lawsuit; PROVIDED, however, that in the event a jurisdiction or employee is removed from the lawsuit and subsection (A) of this section is satisfied, the jurisdiction shall not be required to pay any share of the award or settlement. E.Settlement Process. It is the intent of this Agreement that the jurisdictions act in good faith on behalf of each other in conducting settlement negotiations on liability claims or lawsuits so that, whenever possible, all parties agree with the settlement or, in the alternative, agree to proceed to trial. In the event a claim or lawsuit requires the sharing of liability, no individual jurisdiction shall be authorized to enter into a settlement agreement with a claimant or plaintiff unless all jurisdictions agree with the terms of the settlement. Any settlement made by an individual jurisdiction without the agreement of the remaining jurisdictions, when required, shall not relieve the settling jurisdiction from paying an equal share of any final settlement or award. F.Defense Waiver. This section shall not be interpreted to waive any defense arising out of RCW Title 51. G.Insurance. The failure of any insurance carrier or self-insured pooling organization to agree to or follow the terms of this section shall not relieve any individual jurisdiction from its obligations under this Agreement. XIV.NOTICE OF CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, AND SETTLEMENTS In the event a claim is filed or lawsuit is brought against a participating jurisdiction or its employees for actions arising out of their conduct in support of VCDU operations, the jurisdiction shall promptly notify the other jurisdictions that the claim or lawsuit has been initiated. Any documentation, including the claim or legal complaints, shall promptly be provided to each participating jurisdiction. Any jurisdiction or member who believes or knows that another jurisdiction would be liable for a claim, settlement, or judgment that arises from a VCDU action or operation, shall have the burden of notifying each participating jurisdiction of all claims, lawsuits, settlements, or demands made to that jurisdiction. In the event a participating jurisdiction has a right, pursuant to section XIII of this Agreement, to be defended and held harmless by another participating jurisdiction, the jurisdiction having the right to be defended and held harmless shall promptly tender the defense of such claim or lawsuit to the jurisdiction that must defend and hold the other harmless. XV.PROCESSING OF CLAIMS. A.Designation of Lead Jurisdiction. There shall be a lead jurisdiction for processing a claim that is filed with and against cities for alleged 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 168 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 7 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 damages and injuries that occur as a result of VCDU activities. The lead jurisdiction shall be the jurisdiction within which the VCDU response occurred; PROVIDED, that in the event the jurisdiction within which the VCDU response occurred did not participate in the VCDU response, the lead jurisdiction shall be the jurisdiction within which the incident that required the VCDU response originated. In the event that a jurisdiction that was not involved in the VCDU response receives the claim, that jurisdiction shall notify the other jurisdictions in accordance with Section XIV of this Agreement, and shall use its best efforts to determine who is the appropriate lead jurisdiction. B.Assistance of Tactical Commander. The VCDU Tactical Commander shall assist the lead jurisdiction in responding to a claim. The VCDU Tactical Commander shall be responsible for gathering all records relating to the VCDU response. These records shall include, but are not limited to, incident reports, notes, transcripts, photos, evidence logs, recorded statements, documents from emergency dispatch centers, and warrants from all jurisdictions that participated in the VCDU response. The Tactical Commander shall also provide a list of personnel who participated in the response and their contact information. The Tactical Commander shall deliver all copies of the records to the lead jurisdiction promptly upon request. C.Claims of $5,000 or Less. i.Lead Jurisdiction Responsibilities. The lead jurisdiction shall be responsible for working with the Tactical Commander to gather records relating to the VCDU response. The lead jurisdiction shall provide records to its insurance provider and shall assist its insurance provider in assessing liability for acts associated with the claim. The lead jurisdiction shall notify the other jurisdictions of any determinations as to liability. In determining whether a claim should be paid, the lead jurisdiction and its insurance provider shall, at a minimum, consider the potential legal defenses to the claim and the costs of defending the claim. ii.Liability Determination – Apportionment of Damages. The lead jurisdiction, with the assistance of its insurance provider and risk manager, shall determine whether the VCDU is liable for damages set forth in a claim, and whether the payment of the claim would be in the best interest of the jurisdictions and/or the VCDU. In the event the lead jurisdiction determines that payment of a claim is appropriate, such determination shall be final and binding upon other jurisdictions and payment shall be apportioned equally among all jurisdictions that participated in the VCDU response. The insurance provider for the lead jurisdiction shall provide full payment to the claimant, and each jurisdiction that participated in the response shall reimburse the insurance provider for its equal share of such payment. Prior to the payment of any claim, and as a condition of such payment, the insurance provider providing payment shall obtain 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 169 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 8 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 from the claimant a complete and total release of liability on behalf of all jurisdictions participating in the VCDU and each and every officer, agent, or volunteer of those participating jurisdictions. In the event the lead jurisdiction determines that the VCDU is not liable for damages set forth in a claim or that the payment of the claim would not be in the best interest of the jurisdictions and/or the VCDU, the lead jurisdiction shall notify the other jurisdictions of the determination, and such determination shall be binding on the other jurisdictions; PROVIDED, that another jurisdiction that determines that payment is appropriate may pay such claim in full, and shall not seek reimbursement from the other participating jurisdictions. iii.Letter From Insurance Adjusters. In the event a lead jurisdiction, in conjunction with its insurance provider, determines that payment of a claim is appropriate, the insurance provider shall provide each of the participating jurisdictions with a letter stating the determination and the bases for such determination. D.Claims over $5,000. i.Lead Jurisdiction Responsibilities. The lead jurisdiction shall schedule a meeting with all jurisdictions participating in the VCDU to discuss the claim and to determine the appropriate manner in which to respond and/or defend the claim. The Board and persons listed in Section XVII of this Agreement shall be notified of the meeting. XVI.PROCESSING OF LAWSUITS. A.Notification to Other Jurisdictions. In the event a jurisdiction is served with a lawsuit, that jurisdiction shall provide notice and documentation of the lawsuit to each of the other jurisdictions in accordance with Section XIV of this Agreement. B.Coordination of Initial Meeting. The jurisdiction that initially receives a lawsuit shall schedule a meeting with all of the jurisdictions participating in the VCDU to discuss the lawsuit and to determine the appropriate manner within which to respond and/or defend the lawsuit. The Board and persons listed in Section XVII of this Agreement shall be notified of the meeting. XVII.NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS. Section XIV of this Agreement requires that the jurisdiction receiving a claim or lawsuit notify the other jurisdictions of the claim or lawsuit and provide documentation of that claim or lawsuit to the other jurisdictions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any participating jurisdiction of the requirements set forth in Chapter 4.96 RCW, and the fact that a participating 6n. ‐ Police Department recommends approval of an interlocal  agreement with the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Page 170 of 329 VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 9 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - 2009 jurisdiction provides notice or copies of a claim to another jurisdiction shall not be deemed compliance with the requirement that a party who files suit against a jurisdiction first file a claim with the jurisdiction in accordance with Chapter 4.96 RCW. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed acceptance of service of a lawsuit, and the fact that a participating jurisdiction provides notice or copies of a lawsuit to another jurisdiction shall not be deemed adequate service of such lawsuit in accordance with the State or Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Revised Code of Washington.

This very early work was needed to gain support from Tukwila for a new option and to prepare cost estimates for a TIGER grant. Supplemental Agreement No. 3 is divided into multiple stand-alone tasks, each with its own separate budget. Each task will need a Notice to Proceed from the City of Renton before the consultant may begin on the corresponding work. This will allow the City to proceed with certain tasks when funding is available and proceed accordingly to outcomes derived from negotiations with the railroads and Sound Transit. The five tasks are: 1.Define final project configuration for approval ($113,000). 2.Define BNSF bridge configuration for final design and construction ($636,000). 3.Complete 30% design for the BNSF underpass ($198,000). 4.Complete 30% design for the UPRR underpass ($795,000). 5.Assess feasibility for Sounder Station Connections ($353,000) A management reserve fund of $100,000 will also be established.

(CAG-09-077) ISSUE: Should the Mayor and City Clerk execute the supplemental agreement for design services on the SW 27th Street/Strander Blvd. Extension Project? RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Supplemental Agreement #3 with BergerABAM Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $2,214,900 for design services on the SW 27th Street/Strander Blvd. Extension Project. BACKGROUND: In 2001, the City of Renton (the City), in partnership with the City of Tukwila, started working on a roadway connecting the eastern terminus of Strander Blvd. in Tukwila to Oakesdale Avenue SW in Renton via SW 27th Street. The primary challenge with this connection was the need to cross the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and the BNSF Railway (BNSF) tracks that are located atop embankments nearly 14 feet tall. With the high speeds and high volumes of the trains on these tracks the road crossing had to be grade-separated. The City’s first undertaking was to prepare a Project Definition Report, which was completed in 2002. The Project Definition Report analyzed different alternatives to grade-separate the proposed roadway from the railroads. After screening alternatives and meetings with a stakeholder’s committee, the recommendation was to build a five-lane roadway beneath the two railroads. This was similar to the South 180th Street Project that was being constructed around the same time about a mile south of this location. However, as the design started to 6p. ‐ Transportation Systems Division recommends approval of  Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to CAG‐09‐077, with Berger/Abam Page 186 of 329 Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Page 2 of 4 January 4, 2010 H:Division/Transpor.tat/Design/Rob/Strander Blvd Extension/Contract/Berger/Supllement #2/Revised Issue paper for Berger Supplement #2 091007 rev Dec. 28 move forward for the underpass, the overcrossing (bridge) alternative gained more support. This alternative required moving of the UPRR rail embankment to the east against the BNSF embankment, thereby making the 326-foot width of land between the elevated tracks more accessible to the rest of Tukwila’s future urban center to the west. This improved accessibility created greater potential for transit-oriented development related to the adjacent Sounder Station. The cities of Renton and Tukwila have been pursuing this overcrossing alternative (often called “Option A”), with significant progress on the plans for the relocated UPRR tracks. In late 2008 we were close to having a private party assume the cost of the new UPRR rail embankment. However, UPRR imposed new conditions at the end of 2008 that severely challenged Option A. Complicating matters was the need of Sound Transit to begin final design of its Sounder Tukwila Station, including parking on the land currently between the two railroads. The uncertainty as to the moving of the UPRR tracks was now impeding Sound Transit’s progress, particularly since Sound Transit’s funding needs were fulfilled in the November 2008 regional vote for ST2. The cities of Tukwila and Renton, along with Sound Transit, have now decided to return to the original Strander option, the undercrossing (called “Option B”). Option B will be very similar to the South 180th Street undercrossing, built around 2002. This will include a railroad bridge at BNSF, another one at UPRR, and an undercrossing roadway. It is possible that the undercrossing could be constructed in two separate segments, thereby providing immediate utility for partial projects. In theory, breaking the project into three or four medium-priced segments may be more practical than the original plan with two very expensive segments (moving the track, and then building the bridge) which made funding a very difficult challenge. The Strander project Option B is now part of a multi-jurisdictional grant proposal for a TIGER federal stimulus grant. If this is awarded (February 2010 is the anticipated award date), the $15 million sought for this project, along with the remaining $12-13 million in other grants at hand, would allow the construction of the BNSF railroad bridge and a partial undercrossing from Renton into the Sound Transit parking area (according to very preliminary designs and cost estimates). Another option is that the existing grants would be utilized for constructing the BNSF railroad bridge only. TIGER grant projects must be completed in early 2012, so some design must be undertaken immediately in order to involve BNSF in work on the railroad bridge (similar to what BNSF did for the three railroad bridges related to the Rainier Avenue South project in 2007-2008). Waiting until February to commence any work would seriously jeopardize the ability to meet the TIGER grant conditions. BNSF must be a highly engaged and motivated participant in Strander Option B, similarly to its involvement with the three railroad bridges BNSF re-constructed in 2007-2008 to accommodate the Rainier Avenue project. However, neither BNSF nor UPRR appear to have the high incentive 6p. ‐ Transportation Systems Division recommends approval of  Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to CAG‐09‐077, with Berger/Abam Page 187 of 329 Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Page 3 of 4 January 4, 2010 H:Division/Transpor.tat/Design/Rob/Strander Blvd Extension/Contract/Berger/Supllement #2/Revised Issue paper for Berger Supplement #2 091007 rev Dec. 28 to participate in the Strander project that BNSF had for the Rainier Avenue project. So the feasibility of Option B remains in question. The City has therefore considered another Strander Option that was identified in the 2002 feasibility study. It is called Option C and it involves first stage construction of a new north-south road on the Boeing property immediately east of the BNSF right-of-way. This new road would extend from the present westerly terminus of SW 27th Street to at least Longacres Way, and possibly to SW 16th Street. Subsequent stages of Option C could be improvements to the BNSF crossing at Longacres Way and improvements to Longacres Way itself. The I-405 Master Plan shows a direct connection from I-405 via Tukwila Parkway to Longacres Way. Option C would require the approvals and participation of The Boeing Company, and early indications are that it is interested in the City’s proposal to construct this road if Boeing dedicates the right-of-way. Early in 2010 we will know more about Boeing’s position. In anticipation of either of any of these possibilities (Option B, with or without the TIGER grant; or Option C), the Transportation Systems Division has negotiated a contract with Berger/Abam Engineers, Inc. (the designers of the South 180th Street Project) to provide engineering design services for either of these options. Under Option B this would be a design of the roadway connection by keeping the UPRR tracks in their current location and to build the roadway going under both railroads. Under Option C, this would be the new north-south road and a possible new railroad bridge at Longacres Way. BNSF has indicated some interest in such an improved bridge which would accommodate an upgraded Longacres Way. The Consultant Contract The consultant was selected through a process consistent with the guidelines for federal funding. This was done at the time when the original Strander Option A – the overcrossing – was encountering major problems with the UPRR company. In evaluating whether to begin work for Option B – the undercrossing – Tukwila needed to be convinced of future accessibility to some businesses; this required geometric analysis. In addition, we needed cost estimates that were used for the TIGER grant. The original contract and Supplement No. 2 were for a total of $19,900 (there was a time extension as well). Supplemental Agreement No. 3 is for the core services needed to move the project along. The urgency is that some preliminary engineering work is needed immediately to take advantage of an early opportunity to work with BNSF to consider its fuller participation in either of the railroad bridges that could be built under Option B or Option C. The supplemental agreement is divided into multiple stand alone tasks, each with its own separate budget. Each task will need a Notice to Proceed from the City before the consultant may begin on the corresponding work. This will allow the City to proceed with certain tasks when funding is available and proceed accordingly to outcomes derived from negotiations with the railroads and Sound Transit. The work which will be approved will be the minimum work 6p. ‐ Transportation Systems Division recommends approval of  Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to CAG‐09‐077, with Berger/Abam Page 188 of 329 Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council Page 4 of 4 January 4, 2010 H:Division/Transpor.tat/Design/Rob/Strander Blvd Extension/Contract/Berger/Supllement #2/Revised Issue paper for Berger Supplement #2 091007 rev Dec. 28 needed to move the project ahead, and it will be consistent with the timing of approvals and participation by other parties (BNSF, Boeing, for example). The five primary tasks are: 1.Define final project configuration for approval ($113,000). 2.Define BNSF bridge configuration for final design and construction ($636,000). 3.Complete 30% design for the BNSF underpass ($198,000). 4.Complete 30% design for the UPRR underpass ($795,000). 5.Assess feasibility for Sounder Station Connections ($353,000) A management reserve fund of $100,000 will also be established. Total: $2,214,900. Since we are still narrowing down the actual alternative to be selected, not all of the tasks will be needed, nor will we necessarily need to spend the full amount in each task. Our intent is to utilize the minimum amount of engineering services needed to move the project ahead. Phasing and Revenue Sources It is anticipated at this time that the design costs will be paid by approximately $12.7 million in various external grants. While the maximum amount of the design contract is $2.2149 million, the tasks will be approved with the least needed to move the project design in accordance with approvals from participating agencies – City of Tukwila, grant agencies, BNSF, Boeing. It is the intent of the Division to fully inform the Council as more information becomes available on the final option selected. cc:Peter Hahn, Deputy Public Works Administrator – Transportation Bob

Manager (extension 7319) Recommended Action: Council Concur Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required: $ $25,674 Amount Budgeted: $ $1,165,795 Total Project Budget: $$166,447 Transfer Amendment: $N/A Revenue Generated: $N/A City Share Total Project: $ $166,447 SUMMARY OF ACTION: The plan for this project initially called only for relocating the existing luminaires. The following additions have been made: 1. Match the illumination style used on Logan Avenue North, north of North 6th Street. 2. Add illumination on Logan Avenue North, between North 4th Street and North 6th Street, currently illuminated by Boeing parking lot lighting. 3. Provide pedestrian-level illumination along the new trail (an added item). A traffic study done by the consultant (added to the Scope of Work by Supplemental Agreement #2) determined that a channelization plan for North 4th Street where it intersects Logan Avenue North should be added to the scope of the design. Also, during review, the City Surface Water Group advised that a storm drainage technical information report (TIR) to document compliance with the 2009 King County Stormwater Manual must be done. Again, this item was not included in the original scope of work. Supplemental Agreement #3 adds $25,674 to the existing contract (CAG-09-075) for final design and preparation of plans and specifications for the trail along the west side of Logan Avenue North from North 6th Street to the Cedar River Trail.
