City Council Regular Meeting - 27 Feb 2023
SUBJECT/TITLE: 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Contract
E23-151
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Executive Services Department
STAFF CONTACT: Deborah Needham, Emergency Management Director
EXT.: 7725
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Amount budgeted: 0
Revenue generated: $63,547
The Executive Services Department was awarded funding from the Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) in the amount of $63,547. There is no grant match required for the acceptance of these funds.
Authorization is requested for additional budget appropriations for the Information Technology Division in the
amount of $63,547 offset by additional grant revenues of the same amount and will be included in the Q1
carryforward budget adjustment.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) provides supplemental funding to support key
components of a comprehensive national emergency management system for disasters and emergencies.
Although EMPG funding is relatively stable, the amount cannot be guaranteed. The city was awarded
$63,547 from EMPG funding. As a performance grant, the award will be expended entirely on the approved
grant projects specified in the contract. Grant funds will be expended during 2023. Therefore, a 2023 budget
adjustment of $63,547 in revenue is needed to reflect the grant amount awarded.
The work plan in the contract specifies uses of the funds for information technology and cybersecurity
equipment, emergency management training for city staff, volunteers, and community partners; development
of EOC training videos; maintenance of amateur radio and other communication systems; and community
outreach.
EXHIBITS:
A. EMPG Contract E23-151
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Washingto n State Military Department and the Department of
Homeland Security Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Contract E23 -151 and approve the

ARTICLE II. ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and
program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by
DHS/FEMA applicable to the 22EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and
requirements of The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal
Year (FY) 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the FEMA Preparedness
Grants Manual document, Version 3, May 2022 (the Manual), the DHS Award Letter for the Grant, and the
federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C.
The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance
period may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not
hold the Department, the state of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for
reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to
distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount.
A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS:
The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the
Department.
1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENT
a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it
makes for the disbursement of 22EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2
CFR 200.331.
b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal
entity as its subrecipient:
i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to
pass-through entities of 22EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those
contained in 2 CFR 200.
ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable
state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements, and program guidance
identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 3 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 22EMPG Program, including, but not
limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year
(FY) 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) document, the
Manual, the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal
regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants.
iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all
22EMPG federal award funds provided to its subrecipients, and associated
matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state
statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set
forth in Attachment C of this Agreement.
2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE
a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing,
equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed
on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this
Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed
the total Grant Agreement Amount.
c. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Attachment F),
additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2
CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200:
i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies),
documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel
per the following:
A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement
negotiated with its federal cognizant agency.
B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance
with Appendix VII of 2 CFR 200 requirements.
ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds
as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate
of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate
a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must
contact Department Key Personnel for approval steps.
d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult
their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as
now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at https://www.gsa.gov,
and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs
shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel.
e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and
Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the
expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be
submitted to Reimbursements@mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the
Timeline (Attachment E).
Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by
the Subrecipient and the Department.
f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under
this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention
requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department
and auditors.
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 4 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to
waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment E). For waived or extended
reimbursement due dates, all allowable costs should be submitted on the next scheduled
reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Waiving or missing deadlines serves
as an indicator for assessing an agency’s level of risk of noncompliance with the
regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may
increase required monitoring activities. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date
in the Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request
must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due
date to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be
granted or denied within the Department’s sole discretion.
h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and
the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within forty-five (45)
days after the Grant Agreement End Date, except as otherwise authorized by either (1)
written amendment of this Agreement or (2) written notification from the Department to the
Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient’s project(s).
i. No costs for purchases of equipment/supplies will be reimbursed until the related
equipment/supplies have been received by the Subrecipient, its contractor, or any non-
federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward and is invoiced by the vendor.
j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as
required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline) will
prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports and reimbursement
requests are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to conduct its review.
k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is
current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement.
l. A written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers to
approved, direct budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment F), to exceed
ten percent (10%) of the Grant Agreement Amount. Any changes to budget category totals
not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the
Department.
m. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement
existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been
budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and
document that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the
receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.
3. REPORTING
a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for
which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachment D) activities in the
format provided by the Department.
b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key
Personnel a final report describing all completed activities under this Agreement.
c. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency
Act (FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended
by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and
return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be
completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The
Department’s Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the
beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement.
4. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement
statutes, when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 5 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to
include, but not limited to:
i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and
supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient,
or a recognized non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a
subaward, for which a contract, Subrecipient grant agreement, or other means
of legal transfer of ownership is in place.
ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will
be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient’s inventory system.
iii. Inventory system records shall include:
A. Description of the property
B. Manufacturer’s serial number, or other identification number
C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification
Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11)
D. Assistance Listings Number (formerly CFDA Number) (Face Sheet, Box
13)
E. Who holds the title
F. Acquisition date
G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost
H. Location, use, and condition of the property at the date the information was
reported
I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the
property.
iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once
every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical
inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the
Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in
connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and
continued need for the equipment.
v. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and
maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies
including all questions of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate
maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies
as applicable, are well maintained and kept in good operating condition.
vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards
to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft shall
be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department’s Key
Personnel.
vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and
licenses for the equipment.
viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales
procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible
return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date,
when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal
award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other
activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the
Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures:
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 6 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding
$5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the
project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal
award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities
or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government
for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same
manner as for equipment.
B. For Equipment:
1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of $5,000 or less may
be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further
obligation to the federal awarding agency.
2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000
may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the
federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2
CFR 200.313 (e) (2).
ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six
years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation,
claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records
shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings
involving the records have been resolved.
b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department’s Purchase Review Process, which is
incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be
provided unless the appropriate approval has been received.
c. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized
Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at
https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that
the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward
regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the
specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment
according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient
is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement
are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase.
If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the
Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA
approval prior to acquisition.
d. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory
and/or DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award
funds.
e. If funding is allocated to emergency communications, the Subrecipient must ensure that
all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants,
located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, ensuring the investments are
compatible, interoperable, resilient, and support national goals and objectives for
improving emergency communications.
f. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors
and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to:
i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology of any system;
ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system,
or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 7 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any
system; or
iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered
telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.
This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or
equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232 (2018).
Recipients and subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement
equipment and services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise
consistent with the requirements of the Manual and applicable NOFO.
Per subsections 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered
telecommunications equipment or services means:
iv. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or
ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
v. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security
surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video
surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera
Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company,
or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities);
vi. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or
using such equipment; or
vii. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or
provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or
otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country.
g. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements
that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which
the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental
Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be
found at https://www.fema.gov/grants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which
are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.
b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including,
but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of
existing buildings, structures and facilities; or new construction including replacement of
facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation.
Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as
attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas
not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project
initiation.
c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that
includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under
consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the
proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic
properties.
d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP
compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review
process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 8 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for
projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by
the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed.
6. PROCUREMENT
a. The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317
through 200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B,
A.10).
b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed $250,000, the Subrecipient must submit
to the Department for pre-procurement review and approval the procurement documents,
such as requests for proposals, invitations for bids and independent cost estimates. This
requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes
a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for reviewing and
approving sole source justifications of any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient
makes a subaward.
7. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING
a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The
goal of the Department’s monitoring activities will be to ensure that agencies receiving
federal pass-through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit
requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial
regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F.
b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient
shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. This form
is required to be completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per
agreement. The Department’s Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an
updated form at the beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an
active agreement.
c. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to:
viii. Review of financial and performance reports
ix. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables
x. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g. agendas, sign-in sheets, meeting
minutes), e-mails and correspondence
xi. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure
allowability and consistency with Agreement work plan, budget, and federal
requirements
xii. Observation and documentation of Agreement related activities, such as
exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations
xiii. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories, to verify source
documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify
completion of deliverables.
d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined
above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass-
through entity under this Agreement.
e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns
will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan.
8. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI)
a. The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI)
prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that
subrecipients of federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful
access to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services.
Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP may entail providing language
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 9 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. Executive Order
13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (August
11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such
organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS
published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal
Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768,
(April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such as how a recipient can
determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services, selecting language
services, and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For
additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer
to the DHS Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.gov/guidance-published-help-
department-supported-organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and
additional resources on https://www.lep.gov.
9. NIMS COMPLIANCE
a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that
answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their
cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and
vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and
deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation.
b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and
disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response.
NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of
Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and
describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising
needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness
Goal.
c. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient
must achieve, or be actively working to achieve, all of the NIMS Implementation Objectives
located at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training.
B. EMPG PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
The Department receives EMPG funding from DHS/FEMA, to assist state, local, and tribal governments
to enhance and sustain all-hazards emergency management capabilities as authorized by Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 et seq.) and
Section 662 of the Post Katrina Emergency Management Act (6 U.S.C. § 762).
A portion of the grant program is passed through to local jurisdictions and tribes with emergency
management programs to supplement their local/tribal operating budgets to help sustain and enhance
emergency management capabilities pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 118-09.
a. The Subrecipient shall use the EMPG funds authorized under this Agreement only to perform
tasks as described in the Work Plan of the Subrecipient’s application for funding, as approved by
the Department and incorporated into this Agreement.
b. Funding may not be used to replace or supplant existing local or tribal government funding of
emergency management programs.
c. The Subrecipient shall provide a fifty percent cash match of non-federal origin. The Federal share
applied toward the EMPG budget shall not exceed fifty percent of the total budget as submitted
and approved in the application and documented in the Budget (Attachment F). To meet matching
requirements, the Subrecipient’s cash matching contributions must be verifiable, reasonable,
allowable, allocable, and necessary under the grant program and must comply with all Federal
requirements and regulations, including, but not limited to, 2 CFR Part 200. An appropriate
mechanism must be in place to capture, track, and document matching funds. In the final report,
the Subrecipient shall identify how the match was met and documented.
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 10 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
d. The Subrecipient shall participate in the State’s annual Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR),
Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), core capabilities assessments,
and data calls. Non-participation may result in withholding of funding under future grant years.
e. Subrecipients shall participate in the State’s annual Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop
(IPPW). Non-participation may result in withholding of funding under future grant years.
f. If funding is allocated to non-DHS FEMA training, the Subrecipient must request prior written

04/Training_Course_Review_and_Approval_IB_Final_7_19_18.pdf, the training must fall within
the FEMA mission scope and be in alignment with the Subrecipient’s Emergency Operations Plan.
This requirement only applies to training courses and does not include attendance at conferences.
Furthermore, additional federal approvals are required for courses that relate to Countering
Violent Extremism prior to attendance.
g. All personnel funded in any part through federal award or matching funds under this Agreement
shall complete and record proof of completion of:
i. NIMS training requirements outlined in the NIMS Training Program located at
https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training (to include ICS-
100, ICS-200, IS-700, and IS-800 for most personnel) and
ii. Either (1) the FEMA Professional Development Series IS-120, IS-230, IS-235, IS-240, IS-
241, IS-242, and IS-244, or (2) the National Emergency Management Basic Academy.
The Subrecipient will report training course completion by individual personnel along with the final
report.
h. In conjunction with the final report, the Subrecipient shall submit a separate report detailing how
the EMPG Training requirements were met for all personnel funded by federal or matching funds
under this Agreement.

of the Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. To this end, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are declared severable.
A.28 SINGLE AUDIT ACT REQUIREMENTS (including all AMENDMENTS)
The Subrecipient shall comply with and include the following audit requirements in any subawards.
Non-federal entities, as Subrecipients of a federal award, that expend $750,000 or more in one fiscal
year of federal funds from all sources, direct and indirect, are required to have a single or a program-
specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. Non-federal entities that spend
less than $750,000 a year in federal awards are exempt from federal audit requirements for that year,
except as noted in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. As defined in 2 CFR Part 200, the term “non-federal entity”
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 19 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization
that carries out a federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.
Subrecipients that are required to have an audit must ensure the audit is performed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) as found in the Government Auditing
Standards (the Revised Yellow Book) developed by the United States Comptroller General and the OMB
Compliance Supplement. The Subrecipient has the responsibility of notifying its auditor and requesting
an audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, to include the Washington State Auditor’s Office,
a federal auditor, or a public accountant performing work using GAGAS, as appropriate. Costs of the
audit may be an allowable grant expenditure as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200.425.
The Subrecipient shall maintain auditable records and accounts so as to facilitate the audit requirement
and shall ensure that any subcontractors also maintain auditable records. The Subrecipient is responsible
for any audit exceptions incurred by its own organization or that of its subcontractors. Responses to any
unresolved management findings and disallowed or questioned costs shall be included with the audit
report. The Subrecipient must respond to Department requests for information or corrective action
concerning audit issues or findings within 30 days of the date of request. The Department reserves the
right to recover from the Subrecipient all disallowed costs resulting from the audit.
After the single audit has been completed, and if it includes any audit findings, the Subrecipient must
send a full copy of the audit and its Corrective Action Plan to the Department at the following address no
later than nine (9) months after the end of the Subrecipient’s fiscal year(s):
Contracts Office

Contracts.Office@mil.wa.gov
The Department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a valid claim for an exemption from the
audit requirements of this provision has been established.
Conducting a single or program-specific audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F is a material
requirement of this Agreement. In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements
of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient’s failure to comply with said audit requirements may result
in one or more of the following actions in the Department’s sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards
being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding
or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and
submitted; or termination of the federal award.
A.29 SUBRECIPIENT NOT EMPLOYEE
The Subrecipient, and/or employees or agents performing under this Agreement, are not employees or
agents of the Department in any manner whatsoever. The Subrecipient will not be presented as nor
claim to be an officer or employee of the Department or of the State of Washington by reason hereof, nor
will the Subrecipient make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right, privilege or benefit
applicable to an officer or employee of the Department or of the State of Washington, including, but not
limited to, Workers’ Compensation coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, social security benefits,
retirement membership or credit, or privilege or benefit which would accrue to a civil service employee
under Chapter 41.06 RCW; OFM Reg. 4.3.1.1.8.
It is understood that if the Subrecipient is another state department, state agency, state university, state
college, state community college, state board, or state commission, that the officers and employees are
employed by the State of Washington in their own right.
If the Subrecipient is an individual currently employed by a Washington State agency, the Department
shall obtain proper approval from the employing agency or institution before entering into this contract.
A statement of "no conflict of interest" shall be submitted to the Department.

A.30 TAXES, FEES AND LICENSES
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall be responsible for, pay and maintain
in current status all taxes, unemployment contributions, fees, licenses, assessments, permit charges and
expenses of any other kind for the Subrecipient or its staff required by statute or regulation that are
applicable to Agreement performance.
A.31 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Subrecipient may terminate this Agreement by
providing written notice of such termination to the Department Key Personnel identified in the Agreement,
specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to such date.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Department, in its sole discretion and in the best
interests of the state of Washington, may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part ten (10) business
days after emailing notice. Upon notice of termination for convenience, the Department reserves the right
to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from
incurring additional obligations of funds. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all
damages as authorized by law. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section
shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
A.32 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR LOSS OF FUNDING
The Department may unilaterally terminate or suspend all or part of this Grant Agreement, or may reduce
its scope of work and budget, if there is a reduction in funds by the source of those funds, and if such
funds are the basis for this Grant Agreement. The Department will email the Subrecipient ten (10)
business days prior to termination.
A.33 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE
In the event the Department, in its sole discretion, determines the Subrecipient has failed to fulfill in a
timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, is in an unsound financial condition so
as to endanger performance hereunder, is in violation of any laws or regulations that render the
Subrecipient unable to perform any aspect of the Agreement, or has violated any of the covenants,
agreements or stipulations of this Agreement, the Department has the right to immediately suspend or
terminate this Agreement in whole or in part.
The Department may notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action and provide
a period of time in which to cure. The Department is not required to allow the Subrecipient an opportunity
to cure if it is not feasible as determined solely within the Department’s discretion. Any time allowed for
cure shall not diminish or eliminate the Subrecipient’s liability for damages or otherwise affect any other
remedies available to the Department. If the Department allows the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure,
the Department shall notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action. If the
corrective action is not taken within ten (10) calendar days or as otherwise specified by the Department,
or if such corrective action is deemed by the Department to be insufficient, the Agreement may be
terminated in whole or in part.
The Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments,
or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the
alleged compliance breach, pending corrective action by the Subrecipient, if allowed, or pending a
decision by the Department to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part.
In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law, including,
but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Agreement and the replacement or cover
Agreement and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Agreement, e.g., cost of
administering the competitive solicitation process, mailing, advertising and other associated staff time.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.
If it is determined that the Subrecipient: (1) was not in default or material breach, or (2) failure to perform
was outside of the Subrecipient’s control, fault or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a
termination for convenience.
A.34 TERMINATION PROCEDURES
In addition to the procedures set forth below, if the Department terminates this Agreement, the
Subrecipient shall follow any procedures specified in the termination notice. Upon termination of this
AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 21 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
Agreement and in addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, the Department may require
the Subrecipient to deliver to the Department any property specifically produced or acquired for the
performance of such part of this Agreement as has been terminated.
If the termination is for convenience, the Department shall pay to the Subrecipient as an agreed upon
price, if separately stated, for properly authorized and completed work and services rendered or goods
delivered to and accepted by the Department prior to the effective date of Agreement termination, the
amount agreed upon by the Subrecipient and the Department for (i) completed work and services and/or
equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and
services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work,
services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv) the protection and
preservation of property.
Failure to agree with such amounts shall be a dispute within the meaning of the "Disputes" clause of this
Agreement. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the
Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Subrecipient for termination. The
Department may withhold from any amounts due the Subrecipient such sum as the Department
determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability.
The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive and are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

WORK PLAN
FY 2022 Emergency Management Performance Grant
Emergency Management Organization: City of Renton Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
The purpose of EMPG is to assist with the enhancement, sustainment and improvement of state, local, and tribal
emergency management programs. Activities conducted using EMPG funding should relate directly to the five
elements of emergency management: prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. Washington State
does not require a specific number of activities to receive EMPG funding. However, there are required capabilities
that must be sustained in order to remain eligible for EMPG funding, including but not limited to the ability to
communicate and warn, educate the public, plan, train, exercise, and be NIMS compliant. The Work Plan delineates
the Emergency Management Organization's emergency management program planning and priority focus for this
grant cycle (to include EMPG grant and local funds).
Priority Area #1 4.3 Prevention
Primary Core Capability Cybersecurity
Secondary Core Capability Screening, Search, and Detection
Build or Sustain Building
WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT
Enhance cyber-security through:
•Web Application Firewall
installation of solutions to protect
city web facing applications from
malicious cyber activity. (AEL#
05NP-00-FWAL)
• SIEM (Security Information and
Event Management)/SOAR
(Security Orchestration,
Automation and Response) for
cybersecurity triage and threat
hunting to reduce risk of adverse
cyber incidents within city
systems (AEL# 05NP-00-SIEM)
As a result of the Disaster Recovery
Assessment and Planning project funded in
the last grant cycle, the final Disaster
Recovery Assessment and Planning Report
identified several significant
prevention/mitigation measures which
would greatly enhance the city’s
cybersecurity:
• The city currently has web-facing
applications that are less protected from
potential compromise because traffic is not
monitored.
• The city does not currently have a proper
system for log ingestion for triage and threat
hunting.
• Better cybersecurity is a must in today's
threat environment, and the city's
cyberinsurer requires that the city
implement these recommended measures.
• Overall, the city systems will be
more resistant to cyberattack and
more resilient in its recovery
should an incident occur.
• Protection from malicious
activity will be initiated for the
city’s web-facing applications by
filtering traffic between city
applications and the Internet.
• A single repository will be able
to be leveraged actively to
eliminate potential threats and
retro-actively in the event of an
incident to help reduce time to
mitigation and remediation.

AGENDA ITEM #5. b)
DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY22 Page 38 of 42 Renton OEM, E23-151
WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT
Send emergency management
and city staff, volunteers, and
community partners through
training for emergency planning,
response, recovery, and/or
mitigation.
Emergency Management staff alone cannot
provide a comprehensive response and
recovery in a disaster. It is necessary to train
other response partners to play a role in the
disaster. However, other departments and
agencies lack sufficient training budget and
schedule flexibility to send their personnel
to the necessary trainings. This results in
people who are poorly prepared for their
roles in a disaster.
In the 2022 Emergency Management
Strategic Plan, Goal #2 is "Prepared and
responsive city teams", where "All
employees are prepared for emergencies,
can be reached, and report to work
promptly" and "City teams contribute to,
train on, exercise and learn from emergency
plans and incidents." Having properly trained
and prepared EOC workers is a NIMS
requirement. The budget issues for local
government have been exacerbated by two
years of COVID financial impacts and staff
turnover, thus the need for federal dollars to
close the gap.
A smoother response resulting in
better utilization of resources less
duplication of effort, protecting
lives, property, the environment,
and the economy.
Hire a consultant/contractor to
develop videos for just in time

Primary Core Capability Operational Communications
Build or Sustain Sustaining/Maintaining
WORK PLANNED IDENTIFIED GAP/NEED ANTICIPATED PROJECT IMPACT
Replace aging equipment used
for emergency communications,
including dead battery packs for
amateur radio equipment, and
institute a regular replacement
cycle.
• Batteries (10BC-00-BATT)
Without operational communications
equipment, responders, the EOC, and other
partners are unable to communicate and
coordinate during a disaster. The draft
AAR/IP for Cascadia Rising 2022 notes that
"amateur radio equipment deficiencies were
identified". Equipment failures were only
discovered in 2022, therefore had not been
budgeted for in the biennial budget. Thus
grant funds will be needed for replacement
costs. Operational Communications and
interoperable communications (which our
supported by our amateur radio volunteers
and equipment) are a NIMS requirement.
Communications are operational,
facilitating emergency response
coordination.

• Without a regular outreach campaign and
ongoing training programs, our residents will
not have access to essential information that
will allow them to protect themselves and
their loved ones.
• The community is made up of residents
from different origins/ethnicities who speak

be able to effectively communicate essential
information before and after a disaster with
the appropriate outreach materials.
• In the 2022 Emergency Management

Kristin and Young:
SoftResources LLC is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Renton, Washington (City) for
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Selection Consulting Services. The City’s project is an
excellent fit for SoftResources’ unbiased software consulting services.
SoftResources brings 28 years of experience leading software evaluation projects. We are a qualified,
product independent firm offering a proven approach and selection methodology. We will guide the City
to plan for the project, define requirements, develop an RFP, evaluate vendors for fit, conduct demos,
make the final decision, and negotiate a performance-based contract for new ERP software. In addition,
our evaluation includes a review of the implementation resources for the project, and we can provide
implementation project management services on the City’s behalf if requested.
SoftResources is prepared to partner and guide the City to achieve success with this project and the
following are the key benefits of our services:
• We are 100% vendor indpendent and not aligned with nor compensated by software vendors for
any reason. We do not sell hardware or software products related to any software.
• Experienced team members with local government organizations will guide the City through the
software assessment and selection project.
• Proven and client focused methodology from our sole business of
providing unbiased software evaluation, selection, and implementation
services to Public Sector organizations.

1. SoftResources Overview
SoftResources LLC is a qualified and experienced software evaluation consulting firm dedicated to
providing services that empower and guide Local Government organizations nationwide to make
knowledgeable decisions about business software and to successfully implement the solutions they
select. SoftResources has completed hundreds of software evaluation projects in our 28+ year history.
We believe the repeat business from many of our clients is a testimony to the effectiveness of our team
and value of our services.
History. The concept of providing unbiased software selection services originated in 1993 as our
founders established a consulting practice within KPMG. The core foundational value of this team was to
remain objective and unbiased for the recommendations we made regarding best fit enterprise
software solutions. After reorganizations at KPMG in 1995 that impacted these foundational values, the
founders amicably separated from KPMG and formed SoftResources LLC.
Vendor Agnostic. We have no direct relationships with vendors that will impact the services or
consulting guidance we provide to our clients. We do not receive remuneration from vendors and have
no specific ties to any vendors to ensure our objectivity.
Core Services. The SoftResources team is proficient in the core services we provide and offer the
leadership and guidance our customers require in all phases of the software procurement cycle. Our five
core services include: System Assessment, Software Selection, Implementation Partner Selection,
Contract Review, and Implementation Management. Our Consultants individually bring 20-35+ years of
experience completing projects similar to the City’s project.

2.Project Approach
We understand that the City is a full-service city serving a population of 105,179 citizens. The City’s
project intends to develop an RFP to replace its existing ERP application (EDEN by Tyler Technologies)
which is targeted to sunset in 2027. Through this ERP replacement project, the City desires to take
advantage of a well-integrated solution with an eye towards integrating and interfacing to City-owned
software tools that will remain.
SoftResources will interview City personnel from all departments impacted by the ERP replacement for
the following in-scope functionality:
•General Ledger •Human Resources
•Budgeting •Payroll
•Accounts Payable •Project Accounting
•Purchasing •Grant Management
•Accounts Receivable / Cash Receipting •Utility Billing (not required in scope)
•Fixed Assets
SoftResources commits to providing the services outlined in the project approach with tenured
employees that have the experience, skills, and expertise necessary to assist the City to make a
knowledgeable ERP software decision. We work on your behalf using City-specific requirements to
analyze ERP software and to identify solutions that represent the best fit for the City in an independent
and unbiased approach. SoftResources will:
•Evaluate the City’s current ERP system environment through a series of collaborative workshops
with City stakeholders to assess the current state and desired future state of the users.
•Identify the City’s needs and wants in a new ERP system and develop a functional and technical
requirements document that is inclusive of required integrations with existing or new systems.

•Employ our methodology to analyze vendor proposals and work with the City to eliminate vendors
down to a final decision.
•Provide expertise to assist the City to negotiate a fair contract with the final selected ERP vendor.
SoftResources recommends the following Work Plan organized by phases. Some tasks within different
phases may be performed concurrently. Upon further discussion and review with the City, this Work
Plan may be adjusted. Our overarching goal is to provide the right level of service to support the project
objectives for the City.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
This document amends the original interlocal cooperative agreement for the Valley Narcotics Enforcement
Team (VNET), originally signed on February 17, 2017. The amendment addressed the withdrawal of the Port
of Seattle Police Department and the addition of the Washington State Patrol to VNET. Additionally, it clarifies
the role and authority of the fiscal agent as well as clarifying jurisdictional authority for VNET operations.

AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE
VALLEY NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT TEAM
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (“First Amendment”) TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENT FOR THE VALLEY NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT TEAM (“Agreement”) is made
between the Cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Seattle, Tukwila, and the State of
Washington and its State Patrol.
I. RECITALS
1.1 On February 17, 2017, the parties to the original Agreement formed a multi-
jurisdictional team known as the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (“VNET”). That
Agreement contemplated the future admission or elimination of other jurisdictions as
members of VNET, as well as the future alternation of existing Agreement terms (See,
Section IV of the Agreement). To allow for efficient operation of VNET, the Agreement
authorized those changes to be made without prior approval of the legislative bodies of the
jurisdictions participating in VNET on the condition that such changes would be effective
only through a unanimous vote of VNET’s Executive Board (See, Section XXI of the
Agreement).
1.2 In accordance with Section VII of the Agreement, the Port of Seattle
previously withdrew from participation in VNET, effective January 1, 2022. After the Port of
Seattle withdrew, the State of Washington, through its State Patrol, advised the Executive
Board of its desire to participate and join VNET.
1.3 Additionally, the parties to VNET would like to clarify that the authority
delegated to the Fiscal Agent under Section XII of the Agreement, includes the authority to
contract as may be necessary for VNET operations, including the authority to execute any
lease agreement to secure office space, to accept any grant, or to purchase any equipment,
that may be required in support of VNET operations.
1.4 Finally, the parties wish to clarify the jurisdictional authority that exists for
VNET operations under the Mutual Aid Act, Ch. 10.93 RCW, and to ratify and affirm any and
all acts consistent with the authority of the Agreement and prior to the effective date of this
First Amendment.
II. AMENDMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual intent, desire, and promises of the
parties and other good and valuable consideration, the Agreement is amended as follows:
2.1 Section I – Parties. Section I of the Agreement, entitled “Parties”, is amended
as follows:
I. PARTIES
The parties to this Agreement are the cities of Auburn, Federal
Way, Kent, Renton, Seattle, and Tukwila, and the State of
Washington and its State Patrol.
The Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team is assigned to the Drug
Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) Task Force.
2.2 Section II – Authority. Section II of the Agreement, entitled “Authority”, is
amended as follows:
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 2
II. AUTHORITY
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapters 10.93,
39.34, and 53.08 of the Revised Code of Washington. Through
this Agreement, each member jurisdiction provides to every
other member jurisdiction the permission required under the
Washington Mutual Aid Peace Officers Powers Act, Ch. 10.93
RCW, for each member jurisdiction’s general authority peace
officers to enforce the criminal laws of this state within the
primary territorial jurisdiction applicable to any particular VNET
operation. Any reporting that may be required under RCW
10.93.030, as currently enacted or later amended, is self-
executing as all VNET operations are a cooperative effort that
would necessarily include the police agency that has primary
territorial jurisdiction.
2.3 Section IV – Formation. Section IV of the Agreement, entitled “Formation”, is
amended as follows:
IV. FORMATION
There is hereby established a multi-jurisdictional team
to be hereafter known as the Valley Narcotics
Enforcement Team (“VNET”), the members of which
shall be the cities of Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Renton,
Seattle, and Tukwila, and the State of Washington and
its State Patrol. The future admission or elimination of a
jurisdiction as a member of VNET may be accomplished
by an addendum to this Agreement.
2.4 Section XII – Financial Requirements. Section XII of the Agreement, entitled
“Financial Requirements”, is amended as follows:
XII. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONTRACTING
AUTHORITY
VNET utilizes a Fiscal Agent for all account transactions
and accounting. One of the participating jurisdictions will
provide the services of the Fiscal Agent as approved by
the Board.
The VNET operating budget relies primarily on three
funding sources: State and Federal Grants, VNET assets
forfeited at the state and federal levels, and funds
provided by the participating jurisdictions.
Federal Grant funds are administered by the state and
follow the state budget cycle of July 1 through June 30
of the following year. VNET shall request monthly
reimbursements of expenses until the awarded amount
is exhausted. Once the Federal Grant has been
exhausted, forfeited assets will be used to pay expenses
for the remainder of the budget cycle.
The Fiscal Agent is further authorized to enter into any
contracts required to support VNET operations, subject
to the Executive Board’s approval of the terms and
conditions of those contracts, including grant
agreements, lease agreements for office space, or
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 3
purchase agreements that may be required in
accordance with Section XI.
VNET shall prepare a budget each year that estimates
the grant funds available, and each participating
jurisdiction shall provide VNET with the annual cost to
assign an officer and other approved personnel to the
unit. A jurisdiction’s annual contribution is then divided
by 12 and credited towards the monthly salary and
benefits of the jurisdiction’s participating personnel. All
other expenses are paid for by VNET utilizing either
Grant funds or forfeited assets. The Board shall agree
upon a date each year by which time it will notify the
participating jurisdictions of each jurisdictions’ expected
contribution.
The Fiscal Agent shall perform those reporting
obligations on behalf of VNET members as it relates to
VNET operations, as required by applicable law.
The DEA contribution to VNET includes providing office
space, storage space, parking, and phone service at no
cost to VNET jurisdictions.
2.5 Section XV – Liability, Hold Harmless, and Indemnification. Section XV of the
Agreement, entitled “Liability, Hold Harmless, and Indemnification”, is amended as follows:
XV. LIABILITY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND
INDEMNIFICATION
It is the intent of the participating jurisdictions to
provide services of VNET 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 VNET actions that are brought against
the jurisdictions. To this end, and to the extent allowed
by applicable law, the participating jurisdictions agree to
equally share responsibility and liability for the acts and
omissions of their participating personnel when acting in
furtherance of this Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided in 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 VNET Response. In
the event a jurisdiction or its personnel were not
involved in VNET response to the incident that
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 4
gives rise to a claim or lawsuit, and judgment on
the claim or lawsuit does not, in any manner,
implicate the acts of a particular jurisdiction or its
personnel, such jurisdiction shall not be required
to share responsibility for the payment of the
judgment or award. For purposes of this section,
a member agency is deemed to have been
involved in a VNET response when any employee
from that member agency is deployed on a VNET
Matter.
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 VNET personnel for intentionally wrongful
conduct that is outside of the scope of
employment of any individual, for violating VNET
directives, 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 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 attorney fees accrued by its
individual representation or defense. Each
jurisdiction and its 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 VNET members available
for depositions, discovery, settlement
conferences, strategy meetings, and trial.
D. Removal From Lawsuit. In the event a jurisdiction
or employee is 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.
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 5
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. No Waiver of Title 51 RCW. This section shall not
be interpreted to waive any defense arising out of
Title 51 RCW.
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.
H. Alternative responsibility and liability sharing
provisions for Washington State Patrol. If a court
determines that the Washington State Patrol is
prohibited by law from equally sharing in
responsibility and liability as contemplated in
Section XV above, then the following provision
shall apply with respect to the Washington State
Patrol in place of that applicable language:
To the extent allowed by law, the Washington
State Patrol shall protect, defend, indemnify, and
save harmless the other member agencies, their
officers, officials, employees, contractors and
agents, while acting within the scope of their
employment as such, from any and all costs,
claims, judgments, and/or awards of damages
(both to persons and property), arising out of, or
in any way resulting from, the Washington State
Patrol’s negligent or intentional acts or omissions
in the performance of this Agreement. The
Washington State Patrol will not be required to
indemnify, defend, or save harmless the other
member agencies if the claim, suit, or action for
injuries, death, or damages (both to persons and
property) is caused by the sole negligence of
another member agency or its officers, officials,
employees, contractors or agents. Where such
claims, suits, or actions result from the
concurrent negligence of the Washington State
AGENDA ITEM #5. e)
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR VNET - 6
Patrol and the other member agencies, or their
officers, officials, employees contractors or
agents, the indemnity provisions provided herein
shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent
of each agency’s own negligence or that of its
officers, officials, employees, contractors or
agents, with the Washington State Patrol bearing
the burden of its negligence on its own, and the
other member agencies sharing amongst
themselves the burden of their negligence as
provided above.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED
HEREIN CONSTITUTES THE CONSULTANT'S WAIVER OF
IMMUNITY UNDER INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE, TITLE 51
RCW, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS
INDEMNIFICATION. THE PARTIES FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE MUTUALLY
NEGOTIATED THIS WAIVER.
In the event the Consultant refuses tender of defense in
any suit or any claim, if that tender was made pursuant
to this indemnification clause, and if that refusal is
subsequently determined by a court having jurisdiction
(or other agreed tribunal) to have been a wrongful
refusal on the Consultant’s part, then the Consultant
shall pay all the City’s costs for defense, including all
reasonable expert witness fees and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, plus the City’s legal costs and fees
incurred because there was a wrongful refusal on the
Consultant’s part.
The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement.
2.6 Section XIX – Notification of Claims and Lawsuits. Section XIX of the
Agreement, entitled “Notification of Claims and Lawsuits”, is amended to remove the notice
information for the Port of Seattle and to insert the following notice information for the
State of Washington and its State Patrol as follows:
State of Washington
2.7 Remaining Provisions. Except as specifically amended by this First
Amendment, all remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

the State of Washington, hereinafter referred to as "County" and "City" respectively. Collectively, the
County and City will be referred to as “Party” or “Parties.”
PREAMBLE
King County and the City of Renton adopted the 2019 King County Comprehensive Solid Waste
Management Plan (Comp Plan), which includes waste reduction and recycling goals. In order to help
meet these goals, the King County Solid Waste Division has established a waste reduction and recycling
grant program for the cities that operate under the Comp Plan. This program provides funding to further
the development and/or enhancement of local waste reduction and recycling projects and for broader
resource conservation projects that integrate with waste reduction and recycling programs and services.
This grant program does not fund household hazardous waste collection activities. Program eligibility
and grant administration terms are discussed in the Grant Guidelines, attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference. Grant funding for this program is subject to the budget
approval process of the King County Council.
Grant funding approved by the King County Council is available to all King County cities that operate
under the Comp Plan. The City will spend its grant funds to fulfill the terms and conditions set forth in
the scope of work, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The
County expects that any information and/or experience gained through the grant program by the City will
be shared with the County and other King County cities.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to define the terms and conditions for funding to be provided to the
City by the County for waste reduction and recycling programs and/or services as outlined in the scope of
work and budget attached as Exhibit A.

TASK 1 Recycling Collection Events & Vouchers
SCHEDULE January 2023 – December 2024
GOAL
To increase residential recycle opportunities of materials not collected curbside
To divert recyclable materials from landfill disposal
DESCRIPTION
The City of Renton has provided recycling collection events for materials not collected at the
curb since the early 1990s. Most of the materials collected originally did not have convenient or
cost-effective recycling opportunities for community members. Over the past three decades,
opportunities for recycling many items previously collected at these large events have increased
both within the city limits and the region. The city views this task, as a transition to a more
sustainable strategy for promoting recycling materials not collected at the curb. Renton has
shifted its strategy for providing collection events to offering event recycling for materials that
have limited local access and/or that have proven problematic in the curbside collection
program. Events will be offered to the community as in the past, but with a focus on only one or
two materials at each event. Renton plans to offer a minimum of four events during the grant
cycle. Information about local recycling opportunities will be distributed to interested
participants. For some materials, where there is local recycling access, but cost may be a factor,
the city may also consider offering vouchers to customers on a first -come, first-serve basis.
Materials we are currently considering for event recycling include:
•Shredded Paper
•Styrofoam
•Mattresses
•Large Metals
•Tires

TASK 2 Residential Recycle Anti-Contamination Program Phase II
SCHEDULE February 2023– December 2024
GOALS
To improve the overall quality of recyclable materials collected and delivered to regional
material recovery facilities.
To reduce the number and amount of contaminants collected in the residential recycle program.
DESCRIPTION
With the introduction of single-stream recycling in 2009, as well as the expansion of the types of
material accepted in its residential recycling program the City of Renton has experienced
increased levels of contamination in both its recycle and compost collection programs. The
introduction of new policies by China that set strict limits on contaminants for recyclable
materials entering their country has placed additional strain on our region’s efforts to process
and market the materials collected. While Renton has followed regional guidelines to eliminate
certain materials from their curbside and multifamily programs, such as plastic bags, and
shredded paper, it is clear that additional efforts are needed to reduce contaminants, and
improve the overall quality of recyclables entering the collection and processing system.
Renton initiated a Residential Recycle Anti-Contamination Cart-tagging Pilot project (Pilot) in the
4th quarter of 2022 (still in progress at time of this submittal). The goal for the Pilot was to
develop and implement recycling cart-tagging protocols and collect data that can be used to
inform future recycling anti-contamination strategies that change public behavior, increase the
volume of recyclables collected and improve the overall quality of materials in customer carts.
Cascadia Consulting was hired to complete the detailed study. Before completion of the 2022
project, Cascadia, and their field crew in collaboration with Republic Services will have audited
customer carts for two full routes, two times, a total of 10 days of cart-tagging field work. Early
data has identified similar contaminates in a majority of Renton residential recycling carts. To
fully understand recycling conditions in Renton that will serve to inform education and outreach
campaigns, more cart-tagging is required to test customer acceptance of cart tagging, and other
strategies to reach our goal of increasing the amount and quality of recyclables collected in
Renton’s curbside program.
This task proposes a Phase II of Renton’s Residential Recycling Anti-Contamination Program.
The City intends to contract with Cascadia Consulting in 2023 to continue cart-tagging for a
minimum of one additional round of cart-tagging for the same study participants as was
completed in 2022. Several practical and operational issues were identified in 2022 with
AGENDA ITEM #5. f)
2023-2024 WRR GRANT - RENTON

Republic Services that pulls into question the intended success of cart-tagging strategies once
the program protocols are transferred to the collection contractor. Cascadia, in collaboration
with City staff will continue to engage with Republic Services as necessary to work through
contract and operational issues to ensure sustainability of this important customer feedback
program.
In addition to the cart-tagging component of Phase II, the consultant and city staff will identify
and implement where practicable, additional education campaigns that will support the
objectives of the Recycling Anti-Contamination program.
EVALUATION
Evaluation will include both quantitative as well as qualitative measures from study data such as
the number of carts tagged, and the number of customers with improved performance from the
initial phase of the Pilot.
If any additional anti-contamination education campaign is implemented the city will include
customer engagement metrics.
TASK 3 Commercial Organics Landfill Diversion
SCHEDULE June 2023-December 2024
GOAL
Increase businesses awareness of food waste and strategies to prevent waste
Increase overall diversion of commercial organics
DESCRIPTION
Renton’s collection contract offers limited composting services for its business community. In
2021 less than .1% of commercial solid waste collected through the city’s contractor was
composted. While there are private businesses, such as Cedar Grove Composting, that provide
commercial organics collection and composting, the city does not currently receive external data
about the number of businesses that use these services. Additionally, the city does not receive
private business reports about organics tonnage collected and diverted from landfill disposal.
The city is interested in expanding its knowledge and understanding of how businesses are
currently handling their food waste and what barriers exist that prevent them from initiating
activities to handle this waste stream more sustainably.
AGENDA ITEM #5. f)
2023-2024 WRR GRANT - RENTON
Page 5

The purpose of this project is to initiate an assessment of existing organics diversion activities
within the business community, barriers to behavior change, and identification of
implementation strategies that hold promise for sustained diversion of food waste and other
organics from landfilling. Information gleaned from the assessment will be used to develop a
business-focused organics diversion program that uses a variety of strategies including policy
development, education, events, collection and outreach partnerships, and business
engagement that increases Renton businesses’ awareness of the impacts of food waste and
diverts compostable organics from landfilling.
EVALUATION
The city will evaluate the project based on completion of the assessment and development of a
multi-year business organics diversion program. The evaluation may also include findings or
results of any specific organics diversion activity implemented during the grant period.

Exhibit B
2023-2024 WRR Grant Guidelines
Program Eligibility:
The King County Solid Waste Division (SWD) has prepared a list of Re+ Action Ideas that expands on
the WRR Case Studies shared in the past two grant cycles and that includes new creative and
innovative project ideas for WRR Grant proposals/scopes of work (Attachment 3). The goal of this list
is to offer ideas for innovative projects beyond current WRR SOWs including, ideas for incorporating
Equity and Social Justice into all of our work such as transcreating materials and signage into top
spoken languages in King County.
The list offers ideas for influencing waste prevention and recycling consistent with Title 10 of King
County Code, the King County Strategic Climate Action Plan, and the King County 2019
Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (Comp Plan), all of which have policies to achieve
Zero Waste of Resources by 2030. SWD strongly encourages consideration of these projects in the
development of grant proposals and encourages Cities to leverage WRR grant funds with multi-city
projects.
Grant funds may be used for a variety of WRR related programs consistent with the Comp Plan. Cities
are encouraged to work together to leverage funds and have a greater influence on waste prevention
and recycling. Cities may choose to use their funding on one program or a combination of programs.
For WRR program ideas, please refer to the Re+ Action Ideas, which includes the examples below.
Sample Re+ Actions
•Food Waste – Food rescue infrastructure investment – supporting hunger relief organizations and
food banks with resources like food storage, trucks, etc.
•Community - Establishing tool and other equipment libraries or other sharing initiatives, e.g.,
borrow party packs for picnics and birthday parties.
•Paper/Plastic Recycling - Multi-family - Technical assistance and in-person outreach to increase
recycling in multifamily complexes, with an emphasis of a multicultural and multilingual approach
such as through Spanish speaking Facilitadores and or use of other regularly spoken languages for
a particular housing community.
•Banning single-use items in dine-in restaurants and hotels, e.g., coffee cups, water bottles, mini
personal care items, etc.
•Conduct food waste audits and implement customized food waste recycling programs in
economically and culturally diverse communities.
In addition, below are project examples included in the Case Studies shared in the last two grant
cycles.
Sample Case Study Actions
•City Development of Contracts for “Responsible Recycling.”
•Purchase School Milk Dispensers and Reusable Cups to Replace Single-use Milk Cartons.
•City of Bellevue Recycling Unusual of Bulky Items.
•City of Kirkland Organics Contamination Enforcement – Cart Tagging

SUBJECT/TITLE: 2023-2024 ORCA Business Cards and Business Passport Products
Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Hasty, Transportation Planner
EXT.: 7217
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
This agreement allows for the purchase of 309 ORCA passes for u se by eligible City employees for a total cost
of $80,537.76. The cost of the agreement will be charged to the CTR Transit account number
003.000000.015.542.91.43.005 in the Transportation Planning & Programming Operating Fund. There are
sufficient funds available to cover the cost of the agreement.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In order to reduce congestion and improve air quality, Washington State passed a Commute Trip Reduction
(CTR) Law in the early 1990s. Under the CTR law, the City of Renton is classified as a CTR affected employer.
Historically, 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 employeeas a core
fundamental piece of the City’s CTR Program. The ORCA Business Passportoffers 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, itfeatures100% subsidies for vanpool and vanshare participants of King County
Metro, Community, Kitsap and Pierce transitvehicles,as well as a Guaranteed Ride Home Program (fre e
emergency taxi service for employees).There is a significant savings over buying transit passes through ORCA
Program ala carte.
The cost per eligible employee decreased from $268.64 during the 2022-2023 agreement term to $260.64 for
the 2023-2024 agreement term. The costdecrease per eligible employee this year is due to a recalculation of
the City’s ORCA Business Passport based on the user employees’ actual usage in 2022 -2023 including any
administrative costs. In addition, between 2021 and 2023King C ounty Metro calculated a higher cost per
eligible employee based on an anticipated ridership figure during the Covid event which reflected additional
Free Ride areas that were put in place to respond tolow ridership numbers during Covid. Finally, the total cost
for the 2023-2024 period reflects a decrease from 313 eligible employees to 309 eligible employees.

5.0 PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, DISTRIBUTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ORCA BUSINESS
CARDS
5.1 Ordering ORCA Business Cards. The Business Account shall order ORCA Business Cards via
the ORCA Website, in accordance with the directions provided on that website, and shall make
payment as provided in Attachment 1. If additional cards are required, the Business Account
may be required to pay the standard card fee and other applicable fees as specified in
Attachment 1.
5.2 Receipt and Ownership of ORCA Business Cards. Upon actual or constructive receipt of the
ORCA Business Cards it has ordered, the Business Account shall be responsible for the
management of the ORCA Business Cards. The Business Account shall be deemed to have
constructively received all ordered ORCA Business Cards unless it notifies the Lead Agency of
any non-delivery or incorrect delivery within thirty (30) days after the order was placed. If the
Business Account notifies the Lead Agency that it has not received the ordered cards, the Lead
Agency will ship a replacement order. If the Business Account subsequently receives the cards
reported as missing, the Business Account is responsible for returning them to the Lead Agency.
5.3 Storage and Risk of Loss. The Business Account is responsible for the storage, distribution and
use of the ORCA Business Cards issued to it. The Business Account bears the sole risk of any
loss, damage, theft or unauthorized use of one of its cards, whether such card is held in its

any use of its Business Cards until the effective date of a Card Close or Card Lock that may be
initiated as provided below.

and Sounder commuter rail systems. On distance based fare modes, when the Cardholder “taps
on,” the ORCA system will record the trip to the last stop on the line. When the Cardholder “taps
off” at the end of the ride, ORCA will record the actual ride. The Business Account then will be
charged the correct fare for the actual ride taken. If the Cardholder fails to “tap off”, then ORCA
AGENDA ITEM #5. g)
ORCA Business Passport Agreement Page 5 of 25
City of Renton WA - BAID : 2480
Program Term : 3/1/2023 - 2/28/2024
will record a ride to the end of the line. The result of not “tapping off” is that the Business Account
will be charged the largest fare for the ride even if a shorter ride was taken.
5.5 Distribution of ORCA Business Cards. The Business Account is responsible for distributing its
Business Cards for use by its Eligible Business Cardholders. The Business Account manages
all Business Cards it distributes but a cardholder may also purchase and load individual ORCA
Products on a Business Card. The Business Account understands that a Business Card it
distributes to a Cardholder may be linked by the Cardholder to his/her/their personal account on
myorca.com as provided in Section 6. The Business Account may not register the Business
Cards that are issued under this Agreement to a personal account.
The Business Account shall require that the Cardholder, as a condition of receiving a Business
Card, be informed of the Cardholder Rules of Use, incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment
4 ORCA Business Cardholder Rules of Use, through the Business Account’s’ standard means
of communicating policies.
The Business Account understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for implementation and
enforcement of the Cardholder Rules of Use.
5.6 Proof of payment. The Business Account is responsible for notifying Cardholders that proof of
payment must be made by tapping the ORCA Card on the card reader in the manner required
by each Agency; otherwise, the Cardholder may be subject to a fine if the ORCA Card is not
tapped, and the Cardholder will be personally responsible for any fines that may be imposed.
5.7 Business Account Access to Personally Identifying Information. If an individual Cardholder opts
to register one of the Business Cards issued to the Business Account, any personally identifying
information provided to the ORCA System (e.g. name, address, telephone number, and credit
card number) will not be accessible by the Business Account. If the Business Account collects
any personally identifying information about individuals to whom it has distributed Business
Cards, the Business Account is solely responsible for its collection, use, storage and disclosure
of such information.
5.8 Card Locks and Card Close. In the event a Business Card is determined to be lost or stolen or
if a Cardholder is determined by the Business Account to be no longer eligible to use the card,
the Business Account may initiate a Card Lock, which is reversible action, or a Card Close,
which is a permanent action, via the myORCA.com website to invalidate the subject Business
Card. The Lead Agency may also initiate a Card Lock or Card Close to any of the Business
Account’s Business Cards at the request of the Business Account, or at the sole discretion of
the Lead Agency in accordance with Section 4.3, or if it is suspected that a card has been
altered, duplicated, counterfeited, stolen or used by an ineligible Cardholder.
5.9 Restoration of Value After Card is Locked or Closed. Following a Card Lock, a Business
Account can transfer remaining funds and products onto a replacement card. Business Account
will be responsible for card replacement fee.
5.10 Card Replacement. The Business Account is responsible for ordering and paying for any new
cards needed to replace Business Cards that for any reason cease to be available or suitable
for use by the Cardholders under the program of the Business Account, including but not limited
to, if the unavailability or unsuitability is caused by damage, abuse, loss, theft, Card Close, and
end of useful life. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the exclusion of warranties in Section
15, if a Business Card malfunctions within twelve (12) months after it was delivered to the
Business Account, it shall be replaced by the Lead Agency without additional charge to the
Business Account if the malfunction was caused by a defect in design, material or workmanship
and was not caused by misuse, an intentional act, negligence or damage, reasonable wear and
AGENDA ITEM #5. g)
ORCA Business Passport Agreement Page 6 of 25
City of Renton WA - BAID : 2480
Program Term : 3/1/2023 - 2/28/2024
tear excepted. The Business Account understands and agrees that to avoid the disruption and
inconvenience caused by sporadic failures as its cards are used, it must plan for replacement
of its Business Cards on a regular basis. As a condition of continuing under the Business
Passport program, the Business Account agrees that it will purchase replacement Business
Cards at the then-applicable rate.

Cardholder Privileges. The Business Account understands and agrees that the Cardholder has the
following privileges in connection with the use of an ORCA Business Card.

Passport or Business Choice Product, to an ORCA fare transaction processor as proof of
payment of all or a portion of a required fare on a regular transportation service operated by one
or more of the Agencies. (Provided, however, an ORCA Product that is not sufficient to fully pay
a fare will not be accepted as partial payment by the Washington State Ferries.) In all cases, a
Cardholder will be required to make other payment to the extent a fare is not covered by an
ORCA Product.
6.2 The Cardholder may individually purchase ORCA Products and load them on the Business Card
in addition to any ORCA Product loaded by the Business Account. Individual ORCA Products
may be used to pay all or a portion of a required fare on a transportation service not covered by
a Business Passport Product or Business Choice Product. (Provided, however, an ORCA
Product that is not sufficient to fully pay a fare will not be accepted as partial payment by the
Washington State Ferries.) In all cases, a Cardholder will be required to make other payment
to the extent a fare is not covered by an ORCA Product.
6.3 The Cardholder may link his/her/their name and other contact information with the ORCA system
and link such personal information to the serial number of the Business Card provided to
him/her. Such registration does not give the Cardholder full access to the card but may give the
Cardholder the right to access the myORCA.com website to view the card's transaction history
and current stored value, and to add retail products.
6.4 The Cardholder’s personally identifying information is generally exempt from disclosure under
the Washington Public Records Act (Chapter 42.56 RCW) as more specifically outlined in RCW
42.56.330(5).
7.0 BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITIES AND PRIVILEGES RELATING TO LOAD-ONLY CARDS

account. The Business Account will not be able to close the card, transfer products and/or E-
purse value, or view card balance.

is responsible for unlinking the card from their account.

that its purchases of Business Cards, and Business Passport or Business Choice products purchased
for such cards, are final and it is not entitled to any refunds. However, the Business Account may request

AGENDA ITEM #5. g)
ORCA Business Passport Agreement Page 7 of 25
City of Renton WA - BAID : 2480
Program Term : 3/1/2023 - 2/28/2024
shall initiate a Card Close and the refund will be processed approximately ten (10) days after the Card
Close was initiated. A processing fee of ten dollars ($10) may be payable by the Business Account to
the Lead Agency for each refund that is processed, regardless of number of cards refunded. The
Business Account, not the Lead Agency, is responsible for the refunding of such E-purse value, if any,
to the individual Cardholder to whom the Business Card had been distributed.
9.0 BUSINESS ACCOUNT WEBSITE
9.1. The myORCA.com website is the primary means by which the Business Account shall purchase
ORCA Business Cards, Business Passport and Business Choice Products, manage its
Business Cards and obtain information about the use of said cards. As a condition of
participation in the Business Passport program, the Business Account agrees that it will use the
myORCA.com website when it is available and that each access and use of said website shall
be subject to the ORCA Terms of Use and ORCA Privacy Statement that are in effect and posted
on the myORCA.com website at the time of such access and use.

solely responsible for complying with the security standards specified in Attachment 5 ORCA
Business Account Security Standards, which is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference.
10.0 INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE AGENCIES AND THE ORCA SYSTEM
10.1 The Business Account understands and agrees that the data, reports or any information
provided to it via the myORCA.com website or otherwise, is and remains the sole property of
the Agencies and nothing shall be construed as a transfer or grant of any copy right or other
property interest in such data, reports or information. The Agencies hereby grant to the Business
Account a non-exclusive license to use any data, reports or information provided by the
Agencies, via the myORCA.com website or otherwise, for any lawful purpose related to the
administration of the transportation benefits program of the Business Account.
10.2 The ORCA System will record data each time an ORCA Business Card is presented to an ORCA
device for fare payment and to load a product. Such transaction data includes, but is not limited
to, the date, time, and location (or route) of the transaction. The Business Account may routinely
access such transaction data related to its Business Cards to the extent provided via the
myORCA.com website. Said website and its reports do not provide the Business Account
Business Card transaction data linked to card serial numbers for the purpose of preventing fraud,
the Primary Contact Person of the Business Account may submit a written request to the Lead
Agency for transaction data related to a specific card number or for a card number linked to a
specific transaction. Fraud is defined as intentional deception or misrepresentation by a person
with knowledge that it will result in an unauthorized benefit to him, her, or some other person.
The submittal is not intended to be used to request data for multiple cards or all cards managed
by the Business Account. The written request shall include the following:
10.2.1 Card number or the date, time and other known details about the specific transaction for
which a card serial number is being requested;
10.2.2 Detailed statement as to why the information is germane to the prevention of fraud; and

10.2.3 The signature of the Primary Contact Person.
If the Lead Agency determines that the subject transaction(s) is linked to a Business Card issued
to the Business Account, the Lead Agency will provide the Business Account with the card serial
number linked to the requested transaction(s). The Business Account agrees that it will use such
card serial number information only for purposes of enforcing the Rules of Use, as provided to
the Cardholder. The Business Account must maintain its own records if it wishes to identify the
card serial number issued to an individual.
11.0 PUBLIC RECORDS
The Business Account understands and agrees that all records related to its participation in the ORCA
System are public records under the Washington Public Records Act (Chapter 42.56 RCW) ("Act"),
including but not limited to: (a) this Agreement and the sales activity hereunder; (b) the orders,
communications, and any other information provided by the Business Account to the Lead Agency, the

12.0 INDIVIDUAL USE OF BUSINESS CARD AFTER LEAVING A BUSINESS ACCOUNT
The Business Account is encouraged to collect Business Cards from Cardholders who are no longer
eligible for the Business Account's transportation benefits program. In any case, the Business Account
is solely responsible for initiating a Card Lock or Closing a Card in accordance with this Agreement to
prevent any continued use of, and financial liability for, a card that had been distributed to a person who
is no longer eligible.
13.0 ORCA SERVICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The Agencies seek to continually improve and enhance the ORCA Services. With thousands of
organizations, schools, and other entities entering into business account agreements at varying dates
in the year, the Agencies are unable to guarantee to each business account that the ORCA Services
will not change during the term of its agreement. The Business Account understands and agrees that
one or more ORCA Services may be changed, suspended or terminated from time to time without prior
notice to, or agreement by, the Business Account, including but not limited to changes in the look, feel,
content and functions of the myORCA.com website. If the Business Account is dissatisfied with a
change in the ORCA Services, however, it may terminate this Agreement for its convenience in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.2.
14.0 TERMINATION
14.1 The Lead Agency may at any time terminate this Agreement if the Business Account fails to
make timely and effective payment of all amounts due, or otherwise materially breaches the
Agreement, or acts in manner indicating that it intends to not comply, or is unable to comply,
with the Agreement. To effect such a termination for cause, the Lead Agency shall send email
notice to the last known email address for the last known Primary Contact Person of the
Business Account describing the manner in which the Business Account is in default and the

Lead Agency may immediately terminate the website access privileges of the Business Account,

and for its own convenience by sending the other Party written or email notice at least thirty (30)
days in advance of the effective date of the termination. Upon receipt of a notice of termination
for convenience from the Business Account, the Lead Agency may, in its sole discretion, waive
the advance notice period and immediately terminate the website access privileges of the
Business Account, initiate a Card Lock on the Business Cards issued to the Business Account,
and decline to accept and fulfill any pending or new orders from the Business Account. In the
event of such a termination for convenience and not cause, the amounts due under this
Agreement shall be calculated by the Lead Agency. (The amounts due for the ORCA Passport
Product and any optional products listed in Attachment 1 shall be the annual amounts due
prorated for the number of months during which the Passport Product and optional products
were valid for at least one day.) If the Business Account has not paid in full all of the amounts
due under this Agreement as of the termination date, the Business Account shall immediately
pay the remaining amount due. If the Business Account has paid more than all of the amounts
due under this Agreement as of the termination date, the Business Account shall be entitled to
a refund of the excess it has paid.
14.3 Notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement, the Business Account shall remain liable to
satisfy and comply with all of its obligations under this Agreement and at law with regard to, or
arising out of, any orders submitted or any of its acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective
date of the termination, including but not limited to paying all amounts due or incurred prior to
the effective date of the termination and any fees, charges, collection costs or other costs arising
from a failure to make timely and effective payment.

SAMPLE - ORCA BUSINESS CARDHOLDER RULES OF USE
(Business account can customize content for means of communicating with employees)
As a Business Account Cardholder, I agree to the following:
1. I understand that the ORCA Business Card is owned by the organization that provided it to me
and it has been provided to me for my personal use only. I agree that I will not sell or transfer
my assigned ORCA Card to another person. If I violate these terms of use, my ORCA Card may
be blocked from further use.
2. I will keep my assigned ORCA Business Card secure and in good condition, and I will
immediately report a lost, stolen, or damaged ORCA Business Card to my company’s
Transportation Coordinator. I understand an ORCA Business Card will be replaced at the fee
charged by my company.
3. I will return my assigned ORCA Business Card upon request or when I leave my employment
or otherwise do not meet the eligibility requirements of my company. If I do not return my
ORCA Business Card, I understand that it may be locked for further use.
4. I understand that my ORCA Business Card is valid for the following provided by the listed
transportation Agencies.
a. 100% of fares on regularly scheduled transportation service on Community Transit,
Everett Transit, King County Metro, King County Water Taxi, Kitsap Transit and Kitsap
Ferries, Monorail, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Seattle Streetcar.
b. 100% of vanpool and vanshare fares on vanpool services provided by Community Transit,
Kitsap Transit, King County Metro, and Pierce Transit.
5. I understand and will comply with policies of my employer or other institution that provided my

services not covered, or not fully covered, by my assigned ORCA Business Card.

become the property of the company that owns my ORCA Business Card and the refund, if any,

replaced; I am responsible for any fares required during the replacement period.

Card. Data will include the date, time and location of the card when it is presented. I understand
this data is owned by the transit Agencies and is accessible to the company that owns my ORCA
Business Card.
10. I understand that the ORCA Card must be “tapped” on a card reader to show proof of fare
payment or issuance of a valid fare. Merely showing the ORCA Card on a bus, train, ferry or
light rail vehicle does not constitute proof of fare payment or issuance of a valid fare . I will be

City Council Regular Meeting - 27 Feb 2023
SUBJECT/TITLE: Agreement with Osborn Consulting, Inc. for Final Design of the SE
172nd St & 125th Ave SE Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Utilities Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Kevin Evans, Surface Water Utility Engineer
EXT.: 7264
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Funding for this agreement in the amount of $132,614 is available from the approved 2022 Surface Water
Utility Capital Improvement Program budget for the SE 172nd St / 125th Ave SE Green Stormwater
Infrastructure project (427.475504). There is sufficient funding in the 2022 project budget ($142,456), which
will be requested to be carried forward into 2023, to fund the agreement.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The SE 172nd St / 125th Ave SE Green Stormwater Infrastructure projectwill retrofit approx. 2.41 acres of
untreated stormwater runoff from roadways within the Cascade neighborhood by providing enhanced basic
water quality treatment of stormwater runoff using Ecology-approved General Use Level Designation (GULD)
facilities. The project also constructs previous sidewalks and implements storm system imp rovements to
replace aging and deteriorating infrastructure and reconfigure the storm network to reduce private property
flooding potential.
In 2019, the Surface Water Utility solicited proposals from consultants in accordance with City policy 252 -02
and selected Osborn Consulting, Inc. to perform the design work for this project.The original professional
services contract and amendment no. 1 included engineering design up to 90%, geotechnical services,
surveying, and environmental review. As the previo us contract has expired, a new contract is required for this
work. This new contract includes the preparation of a revised 90% design that addresses gas, water, and sewer
utility conflicts that were not identified in the latest design iteration. This contr act will include survey
workand,temporary construction easement supportnot previously included in the original agreement or
amendment.This contract includes,andpreparation of revised 90% and final construction plans, design report,
specifications, and cost estimate, adjusted for utility conflicts and updates to the City’s driveway and sidewalk
standards. Upon the completion of the previous design iteration, and coordination with Soos Creek Water and
Sewer District, it was determined that the risk of conflicts with Soos Creek facilities is high. Soos Creek
potholed 26 water and side sewer linesto aid in identifying potential conflicts. Additionally, Puget Sound
Energy potholed multiple gas lines in the project area. These 105 utility potholes will be surveyed and shown
on the profiles. The proposed storm system will be modified as necessary to resolve potential conflictswith
SoosCreek Water and Sewer District and PSE facilities.
This contract will ultimately produce the final plans, specifications, and cos t estimate. As it is currentlyscoped
to only produce a revised 90% design package, it will be amended to add funding to complete the final plans
and specification if required.

Work. Payment shall be made by the City for Work performed within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt and approval by the appropriate City representative of the
voucher or invoice. If the Consultant’s performance does not meet the requirements
of this Agreement, the Consultant will correct or modify its performance to comply
with the Agreement. The City may withhold payment for work that does not meet the
requirements of this Agreement.
C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver by
the City of any remedies it may have against the Consultant for failure of the
Consultant to perform the Work or for any breach of this Agreement by the
Consultant.
D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated for
payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not be
obligated to make payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the
current fiscal period, and this Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all
remaining Work for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to
the City in the event this provision applies.
5. Termination:
A. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without

pursuant to this Agreement shall be submitted to the City, if any are required as part
of the Work.
B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Consultant shall be entitled
to payment for all hours worked to the effective date of termination, less all payments
previously made. If the Agreement is terminated by the City after partial performance
of Work for which the agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the City shall pay the
Consultant an equitable share of the fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the
City from seeking any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be
deducted from the final payment due the Consultant. No payment shall be made by
the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the effective date of
termination unless authorized in advance in writing by the City.

certify engineering plans, specifications, plats, and reports, as applicable, pursuant to
RCW 18.43.070. Consultant further represents and warrants that all final work product
created for and delivered to the City pursuant to this Agreement shall be the original work
of the Consultant and free from any intellectual property encumbrance which would
restrict the City from using the work product. Consultant grants to the City a non-
exclusive, perpetual right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, and
display all final work product produced pursuant to this Agreement. The City’s or other’s
adaptation, modification or use of the final work products other than for the purposes of

and hold harmless the City for all costs, including attorneys’ fees, attendant to any claim
or litigation related to a Public Records Act request for which Consultant has responsive
records and for which Consultant has withheld records or information contained therein,
or not provided them to the City in a timely manner. Consultant shall produce for

penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, arising from, resulting from, or related to the negligent
acts, errors or omissions of the Consultant in its performance of this Agreement or a
breach of this Agreement by Consultant, except for that portion of the claims caused by

Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence relative to
construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement attached to real
estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons

employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any
person, firm or corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance

liability policy on a non-contributory primary basis. The City’s insurance policies shall
not be a source for payment of any Consultant liability, nor shall the maintenance of

Consultant to the coverage provided by such insurance or otherwise limit the City’s
recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.

proper endorsements, shall be delivered to the City before performing the Work.
