Subject: Acceptance of SKCAC Industries MOU
ITEM 2
Background/History: SKCAC Industries is a certified non-profit contract manufacturer, providing
employment for people with developmental disabilities since 1967. SKCAC works in partnership
with over 70 customers annually, representing multiple industries, and performs a wide range of
manufacturing, packaging and fulfillment services.
Summary: Polystyrene, better know as styrofoam, is a significant solid waste problem. King
County residents alone dispose of more than 3,974 tons, or 7.9 million cubic feet annually, or 4.4
cubic feet per resident. It consumes a huge amount of space in our landfills and does not easily
biodegrade. Despite the growing demand for recycled styrofoam, there are no businesses actively
recycling styrofoam in Western Washington. Using existing technology, and with some assistance
from partners, SKCAC Industries proposes to create a self-sustaining social enterprise that can
provide up to 200 FTE jobs.
Cedar Hills Landfill is anticipated to fill up in the next ten years. The most likely scenario after
Cedar Hills is full would be to transport garbage out of the region, increasing costs considerably.
Reducing the volume of styrofoam being put into the landfill will extend its useful life and benefit
the citizens of Kent and King County. The recycled styrofoam will be in a state where it is usable
once again.
Recommendations: Recommend the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Memorandum
of Understanding to signify the City’s support for SKCAC Industries in establishing a styrofoam
recycling program. The City recognizes the need and importance of the growing amount and the
types of recycling done by its citizens and local businesses. The City also recognizes the
importance of creating new jobs in the community and the value those living wage jobs can have
when filled by people with severe disabilities who suffer from chronic unemployment.
Motion: Required Not Required For Information Only
Recommend the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Memorandum of
Understanding to signify the City’s support for SKCAC Industries in establishing
a styrofoam recycling program.

Subject: Pipeline 5 Intertie PRV Station Telemetry and Control Building Project
ITEM 3
Background/History:
After the City of Tacoma constructed their Pipeline No. 5, the City of Kent constructed PRV
Stations and a 24” water main Intertie to connect the City of Kent’s water system to Tacoma’s
Pipeline #5 water system for future water use as needed by City’s water customers.
To complete the project the City needs to construct a new building that will house the
telemetry to operate and monitor the new valves, meters and control system that were
constructed under a previous phase of this project.
Summary:
This project was competitively bid with two contractors submitting bids. Both bids were close
in comparison; however, the low bid was over the Engineers Estimate by $104,141. This
higher than expected cost can be attributed to the specialty nature of this type of project and
the current bidding climate.
Recommendations:
Because this project is critical to the City’s continued use of the Tacoma Pipeline No. 5 we
recommend awarding the Pipeline 5 Intertie PRV Station Telemetry and Control Building
Project to Rodarte Construction Inc. in the amount of $288,288.09 and authorize the Mayor to
sign the Contract for same.
Motion: Required Not Required For Information Only

Control Building Project to Rodarte Construction Inc. in the amount of
