RE: Rehabilitation of Flood Control Works located on the right bank of the Cedar River at
approximately River Mile 0.2 in Renton, King County, Washington, Job No. CED -2 -09
Dear Steve:
This letter in response to the City of Renton's written request of January 28, 2009 for
assistance under the PL 84 -99 authority to repair damage to the Section 205 Lower Cedar River
Flood Damage Reduction Project. Enclosure 1 is a copy of the Project Information Report
(PIR), dated July 13, 2010, which describes the proposed levee repair project.
- The Federal Government is 100% responsible for the costs associated with construction of
the proposed levee repairs. However, the terms and conditions of the May 9, 1998 Project
Cooperation Agreement (PCA) between the United States and the City of Renton will apply to
the proposed levee repair project. What this means is the City must comply with the three basic
provisions to the PCA that are generally referred to as the A -B -C's listed below.
A. The City of Renton must make available without cost to the United States all lands,
easements and rights -of -way, and rights -of -entry necessary for construction of the above
referenced project feature. (See, Articles II. D. 2 and Article III of the PCA).
B. The City of Renton must hold and save the United States free from any damages arising
out of the construction, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and rehabilitation of the
Project and any Project- related betterments, except for damages due to the fault or negligence of
the Government or its contractors (See Article IX of the PCA).
C. The City of Renton must maintain and operate all the Project features after construction,
and prevent any encroachment on the completed work. (See Article VIII of the PCA).
Please have the mayor acknowledge the city's continued obligation of providing the A -B-
C's presented and more fully described in the PCA of May 9, 2003 by signing in the space
provided at the end of this letter.
