Construction Cost Estimate
The estimated costs to perform the Construction Work and the allocation of costs between the
parties are presented in the attached Construction Costs Estimate Summary. These estimated
costs are valid for ninety (90) days from the date shown on the attached Construction Costs
Estimate Summary. if this Project Plan and a Schedule 74 Construction Agreement are not fully
executed within ninety (90) days from this date, the estimated costs shall be subject to revision.
The scope of work provided for in the previously executed Design Agreement has been
completed with written acceptance of this Project Plan by the City and PSE. The Construction
Cost Estimate reflects and provides for Construction Work costs commencing with PSE
attendance at the required pre-construction meeting and receipt of the City's written notice to
proceed with Construction Work. Work performed and/or costs incurred by PSE in response to
City request following acceptance of the Project Plan and prior to the pre-construction meeting
are not included in the Construction Cost Estimate, and shall be subject to addition to the
Constriction Cost Estimate by revision as described below.
i
Estimated Inspection and Service Provider Outside Services costs are based on
being constructed in 2015 and subject to 2015 contract rates.
Costs for Construction Work performed by PSE outside of the projected corresponding
construction years shall be subject to revision to reflect PSE Service Provider contract rates
which become effective after this date.
Changes in Construction Work scope, performance and/or schedule can result in actual
Construction Costs that differ from estimated costs shown in the Construction Cost Estimate
Summary. In the event performance of the Construction Work cannot or does not proceed
substantially as provided in this Project Plan, such changes shall promptly be brought to the
attention oCPSE and the City when anticipated or known and shall be documented in a revision
to the Construction Cost Estimate (a"Cost Estimate Revision") mutually agreed and executed by
the City and PSE.
Proiect Assumptions
The project design, construction plans and cost estimates are based on and reflect the following
assumptions. Construction conditions that are not consistent with these assumptions may result
in a request for change or an equitable adjustment to project compensation under Section 6 of the
Construction Agreement and addressed by a Cost Estimate Revision.
Cost Assumptions
1. The Construction Work will be performed in accordance with the Construction Drawings and
Construction Work Schedule.
2. PSE's Project Manager will accept or reject (with written justification) the duct and vault
installation work performed by the City within five (5) business days' notice of completion
from the City. In the event PSE rejects any of the ducts or vaults (with reasonable written
City of Kent
South Reach Upper Russell Road Levee Sch. 74 Page 5
101092347
i
justification), the City will perform the necessary remedial work The City will then re-
notify PSF and PSE shall have five (5) business days to accept or reject the remedial work.
3. All PSE cables can be pulled through the ducts and vaults system, including existing ducts
and vaults if applicable, to be used for the Conversion Project utilizing normal cable pulling
equipment and methods.
4. A City Street Use permit is the only permit necessary for PSE to perform its work for this
Conversion Project and will be issued within two (2) weeks of PSE submitting a complete
permit application (including any supporting documentation reasonably required by the
City). There will be no charge for the permit or inspection fees.
5. The estimated daily productivity rate for PSE duct and vault installation is based on the City's
contractor opening a minimum of 60 feet of trench per working day. The daily productivity
rate is used to estimate the number of days a PSE Inspector will be required during installation
of ducts & vaults. The Inspector will be scheduled in full day increments and in one
continuous effort. Changes to a continuous schedule require a minimum of[Five days advance
notice and must be mutually agreed between the City and PSE.
6. Attendance by the PSE Project Manager at scheduled weekly construction coordination
meetings is included and reflected in the Construction Cost Estimate during periods when the
PSE ducts and vaults are actively being installed and when the PSE line crew is performing
installation, energization, cut-over and removal work. Attendance at additional meetings that
may be requested/required during other periods will be addressed by a Cost Estimate
Revision.
7, Traffic control provided by PSE assumes the use of two flaggers, basic signage and simple
channelization. Additional traffic control measures are not included and if
requested/required will be addressed by a Cost Estimate Revision.
8. Work to be performed by PSE does not include installation and/or removal of Temporary
Service facilities at the request of others during construction.
9. Cut-over and transfer work will be completed during regular working hours as described in
Schedule Assumption#3 below. Changes in the performance of this work will be addressed
by a Cost Estimate Revision.
10. New guy anchors shall be installed prior to installation of new ducts in the same area.
11. When Fluidized Thermal Backfill (FTB) is used, associated cost will be allocated 100%to
PSE when required for a Company Initiated Upgrade and otherwise 100% to the City.
12. Installation of protective bollards may be necessary at some locations and may not be
included in the project design. In the event unplanned bollards are required, associated costs
will be a Shared Cost and addressed by a Cost Estimate Revision.
Schedule
1. There will be a total of two (2) PSE crew mobilizations for each of Phase One and Phase
Two as follows: i) one mobilization of an underground line crew for installation of
underground conductors and equipment; and ii) one mobilization of an overhead line crew
for removal of the existing overhead facilities. Once mobilized PSE crews will have
continuous productive work until all PSE Construction Work is complete.
City of Kent
Soath Reach Upper Russell Road Leree Sch. 79 Page 6

necessary for performance of work, PSE shall be limited to working between the hours of
Monday through Friday. PSE and the City will mutually agree to weekly work schedules for
the Construction Work. PSE shall be allowed to perform PSE work as scheduled without
changes or interruptions caused by other construction activities.

associated costs shall be governed by PSE Tariff Schedule 85.
New Service
Connection of new or increased load for City facilities (such as new traffic signals) under terms
of PSE Tariff Schedule 85 will be addressed on a separate work order and work sketch.
Additional costs may apply and will be quoted separately.
PSE Design & Construction Standards
This Conversion Project has been designed and will be constructed in accordance with PSE
design and construction standards in effect as of the date of this Project Plan. PSE standards
applicable to Construction Work to be performed by the City have been provided to the City in
PSE's "Electric Distribution Trench/Duct/Vault Construction Standards, 2013". All relevant
PSE standard described above are attached to this Project Plan by this reference.
Temporary Support(FIolding) of PSE Poles

Levee South Reach Project - Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign the Puget Sound Energy Schedule 74
Underground Conversion Construction Agreement for the Upper Russell
Road Levee - South Reach Project, as approved by the City Attorney and
Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: The focus of the project is to construct the remaining portion of the
Upper Russell Road Levee South Reach, north of James Street along the Lakes
Community. A secondary levee will be constructed landward of the existing levee on
the right back (east side) of the Green River in order to meet FEMA's levee
accreditation requirements.
In order to perform the above described work, existing overhead Puget Sound Energy
(PSE) lines will need to be relocated underground and poles will need to be removed.
A Design Agreement with PSE was signed on December 18, 2014 that allowed PSE to
prepare plans to underground their utilities. The cost of the construction work is
estimated to be $103,500. The City's share (40% of total cost) would be $41,400,
which will be reimbursed through an Interlocal Agreement with the King County Flood
Control District.
