FROM: D i kstrom, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Sale of Properties at the SW quadrant of SE 274t1i Way and 1081h Ave. SE, west of
the Valley Communications Center (AKA Ramstead Pointe Short Plat)
MOTION: Recommend authorizing the Director of Public Works to subdivide excess properties
acquired for the South 277th Street Corridor project, and the City of Kent Property Manager to
sell same at appraised value.
SUMMARY: The Public Works Department requests authorizing the Director of Public Works
to subdivide excess property remaining from the acquisition property for the South 277`h Street
Corridor, and permit the Property Manager to sell the property at the appraised value or higher.
BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact
BACKGROUND: In conjunction with the development of the South 277°i Corridor project
numerous properties impacted by the foot print of the project were bought. In this particular case
two parcels, one of which is now part of the right-of-way for South 274`h Way, have been short
platted into eight(8) lots. It is my personal belief that we will net $550,000 to $800,000 for the
property. All sales will be at or above appraised value for which we are in the midst of having
the properties appraised. We have yet to complete all the improvements associated with this
corridor project, and the monies received from this would be used to do so. It also should be
noted that this money is not a windfall but an anticipated financial element of the projects
funding.

SUBJECT: Transportation Demand Model
MOTION: Recommend the Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Consultant Services
Agreement between the City of Kent and PTV America, Inc. to convert the City of Kent 2003
Transportation Model to version 9.1 of the VISUM software.
SUMMARY: The consultant shall provide services necessary to convert the City
of Kent transportation model to version 9.1 of the VISUM software,updating forecasts and
adding truck trip data to the model.
BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact as the funding
($25,421.00)would come out of the respective project fund.
BACKGROUND: In 2003, the Public Works Engineering/Transportation section
went through the painstaking process of updating the city's transportation model in order to write
the Transportation Element(Chapter 9) of the city's Comprehensive Plan Update. During that
process, it became clear that the city's existing transportation model was in dire need of
modernization as far as software capabilities. While still technically sound and able to manage a
great deal of data,the existing transportation model is written in the old DOS format and is
cumbersome to operate. There are very few people(even in our IT department)who are still
knowledgeable about DOS computer language. Converting the existing transportation demand
model to the VISUM software would move the city's modeling effort into a Wnndow's-based
computer software system and facilitate writing the needed update to the city's Comprehensive
Transportation Plan. It is essential to be able to model travel demand in order to help determine
future transportation system needs,to update the 6 year TIP, for the long-term CIP, and for
potential revisions to the concurrency management ordinance. This new software will allow us
to separate out truck trips from the other vehicle traffic. Having the ability to model freight trip
demand (origins and destinations) in future scenarios will help us when applying for grants
related to freight corridors. While in the process of conversion from one model to another, we
will take this opportunity to add in those land-use changes which have occurred since the 2003
model update (large developments in Kent&neighboring jurisdictions) as well as the latest
transportation system changes.

2004 MODEL CONVERSION AND UPDATE
SCOPE OF WORK
{
The goal of this project is to convert the City of Kent transportation model to version 9.1 of the VISUM
software. This is described— more detail with level of effort and cost estimat s.
This effort involves importing the TMODEL network, including link and node coding, turn movement j
penalties, and multi-point assignment equivalencies.
GIS data layers will be imported, including available aerial photography, and the model will be registered
over these layers.
Travel characteristics data will be imported including land use,trip generation, and trip distribution.
Intersection detail will be added using the Synchro database for approximately 125 signal locations within
the City of Kent. This will include adding data on turn lanes and timing. This level of detail will facilitate
microsimulation of traffic operation in VISSIM and computation of intersection LOS using VISUM.
Truck Count data as percentages will be coded into the VISUM data base. Counts or percentages will be
required for all model externals and key locations within the model network.
A separate truck trip purpose will be added to the revised trip generation. The gravity distribution model
will updated to accommodate the truck trip purpose. This will not be a full freight model but it should be
sufficient to reflect the truck volumes on major facilities.
i
The model will be calibrated to the 2000 counts and will.meet or exceed SHWA standard calibration
validation statistics on a total volume(trucks phis passenger vehicles)basis.Volumes will be reported as
{
passenger vehicles, trucks, and total vehicles.
i,
After the model is calibrated, the 2010 No-Build,2010 Build, 2020 No-Build, and 2020 Build model
versions will be recreated in VISUM.This includes updating the networks as well as the travel
characteristics. Additional detail will be added for intersection improvements.
The model parameters and changes will be documented in an update to the Kent model documentation.

Additional Considerations
Overhead Service Conversions

service conversions placed by the customers within the conversion area. Once all customers and
the remaining utilities have transferred off the existing overhead system,PSE can begin removal

DATE: September 20, 2004
TO: Mayor White and Kent City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Sale of Properties at the SW quadrant of SE 2741h Way and 108th Ave. SE,west of
the Valley Communications Center(AKA Ramstead Pointe Short Plat)
MOTION: Recommend authorizing the Director of Public Works to subdivide excess properties
acquired for the South 277th Street Corridor project, and the City of Kent Property Manager to
sell same at appraised value.
SUMMARY: The Public Works Department requests authorizing the Director of Public Works
to subdivide excess property remaining from the acquisition property for the South 277th Street
Corridor, and permit the Property Manager to sell the property at the appraised value or higher.
BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Tmpact
BACKGROUND: In conjunction with the development of the South 277`h Corridor project
numerous properties impacted by the footprint of the project were bought. In this particular case
two parcels, one of which is now part of the right-of-way for South 274th Way, have been short
platted into eight(8)lots. It is my personal belief that we will net$550,000 to $800,000 for the
property. All sales will be at or above appraised value for which we are in the midst of having
the properties appraised. We have yet to complete all the improvements associated with this
corridor project, and the monies received from this would be used to do so. It also should be
noted that this money is not a windfall but an anticipated financial element of the projects
funding.
