Public Works Committee Minutes 4
May..4, 2015
The City solicited bids from several contractors and Petersen Brothers, Inc. submitted the
lowest bid.
Committee member Ralph MOVED to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to
sign a Public Works Agreement with Petersen Brothers, Inc. for repair of guardrails
on Reith Road in an amount not to exceed $31,458.60, subject to final terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The motion
was SECONDED by committee member Fincher and PASSED 3 - 0.
Item 8 — Traffic Signal Warehouse :
Kelly Peterson, Special Project/Transportation Manager noted that Public Works has leased
warehouse space from the Plemmons Industrial Park on Central Avenue for the traffic signal
technicians since 2006. The existing lease expires at the end of May 2015. The lease provides
traffic signal technicians a space to store equipment and parts for the traffic signal system
and test and repair controllers and other electronic devices. There is no space in existing city-
owned facilities to house these operations.
Committee Chair, Higgins asked that staff look into other options in the future.
Committee member Fincher MOVED to authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents to lease warehouse space for 36 months at the Plemmons Industrial
Park for traffic signal system storage and workspace, subject to final terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The
motion was SECONDED by committee member Ralph and PASSED 3 - 0.

LED Street Light Replacement:
Kelly Peterson, Special Project/Transportation Manager reminded committee members of the
city's success in securing a $500,000 Washington State Department of Commerce, Energy
Efficiency and Solar Grant. The joint application that was submitted by the Public Works and
Parks Departments will be shared between the two departments. Of that $500,000, Public
Works share is $375,000 for the conversion of street lights from high pressure sodium lights
to LED lights, which will save $230,000 per year in energy costs.
This motion authorizes the amendment as well as the conversion project, which will be
implemented through the selected contractor, Ameresco. The estimated project cost is
$2,621,937, which will be paid for with grant funds, PSE rebate and budget transfers that will
be repaid through projected energy savings.
Committee member Ralph MOVED to authorize the Mayor to sign an amended
interagency agreement with the WA Department of Enterprise Services with a cost
not to exceed $2,621,937, for the LED street light conversion project subject to final
terms and conditions acceptable to the Public Works Director and the City Attorney.

South 212thSt/BNSF Grade Separation Grant Funding
For Information Only
Summary: The City was awarded a $2,000,000 grant for Preliminary Engineering
for the S 212th St/BNSF Railroad Grade Separation project as part of the Puget
Sound Regional Council (PSRC) 2014 Surface Transportation Program (STP) project
selection process. At that time the City was considering forming a Local
Improvement District (LID) to partially fund three key railroad grade separation
projects including S 212th St/BNSF. The City gathered comments from property
owners at two different open houses and found that there was little support for an
LID. As a result, the City is no longer in a position to move forward with the project
at this time. If the funding situation changes in the future, the City may reapply for
regional grant funding.
PSRC funds may be returned on a voluntary basis due to extenuating circumstances,
there is no penalty for returning funds prior to the obligation deadline, which is June
1, 2015 in this case. Agencies voluntarily returning funds are asked to provide PSRC
with a letter or a memorandum signed by a responsible official requesting the
return.

Introduction
Overview
The 2016-2021 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-
range planning document that is updated annually based on needs and policies
identified in the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and 2008 Transportation Master
Plan. It represents Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in
the next six years. The document identifies secured or reasonably expected
revenue sources for each of the projects. The Six-Year TIP serves as a draft work
plan for the development of the local transportation network. Once adopted, the
TIP helps to guide funding and implementation priorities during the development of
the transportation portion of the Six -Year Capital Investment Program (CIP). The
CIP can be considered a subset of the TIP. The CIP sho the City-funded portion
of projects and is constrained by current budget fore whereas the TIP shows
the complete project list with the variety of funding
� s and partners involved.
Mandated by State Law
State law requires that each city develop a loci; that it be updated annually
a
(RCW 35.77.010), and that it be submit44�to th"ate Department of
Transportation not more than thirty day a ���5aption but before July 1st. It
represents an important planning co unft�r the state's Growth Management
Act. For cities to compete fo ��P� rtatI funding grants from Federal and State
sources, granting agencies 'uireat pr cts be included in the TIP. The Six-
YearTransportation Improen � , ' nay be revised at any time during the
year by a majority of the Co Wafter a ublic Hearing is held.
How is the 2016-2 SIx-YEAR T different from the previous year?
The Six Year TIP is ral,ired t be consistent with the transportation element of the
oJ�
Comprehensive Plan pu��� ��to RCW 35.77.010. The City is in the process of
updating the Kent 2035Fnprehensive Plan, scheduled for adoption by June 30,
2015.
In order to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the 2016-2021 TIP has
been revised to reflect projects that will be constructed using existing funding
sources as well as the City's historical record of average grant disbursements.

JUSTIFICATION: The Yr fic signals in the recently annexed area of Panther Lake
are not connected to the City's central traffic signal control
system; hence, they cannot be remotely monitored or managed
from the City's Traffic Management Center. The intersection
controllers are not capable of displaying flashing yellow left turn
arrow (FYLTA) for permissive left turn movements. This type of
signal display has been demonstrated to be much more readily
understood by motorists and has resulted in reduced collision
rates involving vehicles turning left during permissive left turn
signal phases. The integration of these signals into the City's

adjustments at the March 16, 2015 and April 2, 2015 Public Works Committee
meetings, staff has prepared an ordinance amending Section 12.14.060 of the Kent
City Code. The amendment will change the economic index used to make annual
adjustments to TIF rates from the Washington State Department of Transportation
Construction Cost Index to the Construction Cost Index for Seattle-Tacoma-
Bremerton published in the Engineering News Record.
The WSDOT Index has seen significant fluctuations over the past two years that are
not consistent with construction costs experienced in City contracts. The
Construction Cost Index published in the Engineering News Record would provide
more predictable annual adjustments to the TIF.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending Kent City
Code Section 12.14.060 to annually adjust fees
based on the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index.
RECITALS
The transportation impact fee ordinance has a provision that
annually adjusts transportation impact fees based on the Washington
State Department of Transportation Construction Cost Index. In recent
years, this index has fluctuated widely, and the city finds that the
Construction Cost Index published in the Engineering News Record would
provide more predictable annual adjustments.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
SECTION 1. -Amendment. Kent City CodeSection 12.14.060 is
hereby amended as follows:
Sec. 12.14.060. Collection of impact fees.
1 Transportation Impact Fees
Amend KCC 12.14.060
48
A. The city shall collect transportation impact fees, based on the rates
published pursuant to KCC 12.14.190, from any applicant seeking
development approval from the city for any development activity within
the city, when such development activity requires the issuance of a
building permit or a permit for a change in use, and creates a demand for
additional public facilities.
B. Maximum allowable transportation impact fees are established by
the rate study and the downtown Kent rate memorandum. The rate shall
be thirty percent (30%) of the maximum allowable amount.
C. �eOn January 1st of each calendar year, the director shall
adjust the p ea�sincrease or decrease the fees by the same
percentage change as the percentage change in the n9OSt Feeentprevious
calendar year's average monthlyannual Engineering News
Record (ENR) Seattle Area Construction Cost lirwa ex values, relative to the
corresponding average monthly ENR Construction Cost Index values for
the precedina vear.

D. When a transportation impact fee, pursuant to subsection (A) of this
section, applies to a change of use permit, the transportation impact fee
shall be the applicable transportation impact fee for the land use category
of the new use, less any transportation impact fee previously paid for the
land use category of the prior use. For purposes of this provision, a
change of use should be reviewed based on the land use category
provided in the rate study that best captures the broader use of the
property under development. Changes in use or tenancy, if consistent with
the general character of the building or building aggregations (i.e.,
2 Transportation Impact Fees
Amend KCC 12.14.060
49
"industrial park," or "specialty retail") should not be considered a change
in use that is subject to a transportation impact fee. Further, minor
changes in tenancies that are consistent with the general character of the
included structure, building, or previous use should not be considered
changes in use subject to a transportation impact fee. If no transportation
impact fee was paid for the prior use, the transportation impact fee for the
new use shall be reduced by an amount equal to the current
transportation impact fee rate for the prior use. Vacant buildings shall be
assessed as if in the most recent legally established use as shown on a
Kent business license, development permit, or other reliable and verifiable
evidence acceptable to the director.
E. For mixed use developments, transportation impact fees shall be
imposed for the proportionate share of each land use, based on the
applicable measurement in the transportation impact fee rates published
pursuant to KCC 12.14.190.
F. Transportation impact fees shall be determined at the time the
complete application for a building permit or a permit for a change in use
is submitted using the transportation impact fees then in effect.
Transportation impact fees shall be due and payable before the building
permit or permit for a change of use is issued by the city.
G. Until December 31, 2013, at the time of issuance of any single-
family residential building permit for a dwelling unit that is being
constructed for initial sale, the payment of the transportation impact fee
may be deferred if the owner of the underlying real property executes a
first position lien in favor of the city in the amount of the transportation
impact fee in effect at the time of the deferral. The city shall record the
lien against the real property and the lien amount shall be paid by the
seller to the city at the time of closing of the sale of the real property and
3 Transportation Impact Fees
Amend KCC 12.14.060

single-family residence.
1. A feepayer who chooses to defer the transportation impact
fee must combine the lien with a lien for deferring the water development
system charge in KCC 7.02.160, for the transportation improvement fee in
KCC 12.11.090 or Chapter 43.21C RCW, and for the drainage development
charge in KCC 7.05.165.
2. A deferral fee, in the amount set by city council resolution for
city of Kent planning and land use fees, "fee deferral lien," will be due at
the time of the application for deferral. The administrative fee set out in
KCC 12.14.170 will not be deferred.
H. Feepayers allowed credits prior to the submittal of the complete
building permit application or an application for a permit for a change of
use shall submit, along with the complete application, a copy of the letter
prepared by the director setting forth the dollar amount of the credit
allowed. Transportation impact fees, as determined after the application of
any credits, shall be collected from the feepayer no later than the time a
building permit or permit for a change of use is issued.
I. The department shall not issue the required building permit
or the permit for the change of use until the transportation impact fees
have been paid.
SECTION 2.-Severability. If any portion of this title is found to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such finding shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other chapter or any other section of this
title.
SECTION 3, - Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon

authorized to make necessary corrections to this ordinance, including the
correction of clerical errors; references to other local, state or federal laws,
codes, rules, or regulations; or ordinance numbering and

From: Mark Madfai, P.E., Design Engineering Supervisor
Through: Chad Bieren, P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Central Avenue South Improvements-Acceptance of Federal
Grant
Motion:
Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to accept a Federal
Grant in the amount of $1,500,000 for the Construction Phase of the
Central Avenue South Pavement Preservation Project and direct staff to
establish a budget for the funds, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
Summary: The pavement along South Central Avenue between Willis Street and the
South Central Bridge has numerous cracks, rutting and patches and is in need of
repair replacement. Because of the progressed deterioration of Central Avenue, this
arterial requires more of a reconstruction than a simple overlay.
Construction for this project is anticipated to start in July and will repair failing
pavement sections including replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalk and provide a
full width overlay of the roadway. Also, included in the project will be the
replacement of the water main and relining of the sanitary sewer main.
The Public Works Department competed for and was awarded a $1,500,000 federal
grant through the Puget Sound Regional Council for the Construction Phase of this
project. This funding is in addition to the $300,000 federal grant that the City was
awarded for the Design Phase of this project.
Exhibit: Federal Grant
Budget Impact:
The City will receive $1,500,000 of federal funding. The local match for this grant is
$234,104. Funding for the local match will come from the B&O Tax.

Project construction financing will be accomplished by one of the three methods as indicated in this agreement.
Method A—The Agency will place with the State, within(20)days after the execution of the construction contract,an advance in the amount of
the Agency's share of the total construction cost based on the contract award. The State will notify the Agency of the exact amount to be deposited
with the State. The State will pay all costs incurred under the contract upon presentation of progress billings from the contractor. Following such
payments, the State will submit a billing to the Federal Government for the federal aid participation share of the cost. When the project is
substantially completed and final actual costs of the project can be determined, the State will present the Agency with a final billing showing the
amount due the State or the mount due the Agency. This billing will be cleared by either a payment from the Agency to the State or by a refund
from the State to the Agency. -
Method B— The Agency's share of the total construction cost as shown on the face of this agreement shall be withheld from its monthly fuel tax
allotments. The face of this agreement establishes the months in which the withholding shall take place and the exact amount to be withheld each
month.The extent of withholding will be confirmed by letter from the State at the time of contract award.Upon receipt of progress billings from the
contractor,the State will submit such billings to the Federal Government for payment of its participating portion of such billings.
Method C—The Agency may submit vouchers to the State in the format prescribed by the State,in duplicate,not more than once per month for
those costs eligible for Federal participation to the extent that such costs are directly attributable and properly allocable to this project.Expenditures
by the Local Agency for maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead shall not be eligible for Federal participation unless
claimed under a previously approved indirect cost plan. -
The State shall reimburse the Agency for the Federal share of eligible project costs up to the amount shown on the face of this agreement. At the
time of audit,the Agency will provide documentation of all costs incurred on the project.
The State shall bill the Agency for all costs incurred by the State relative to the project.The State shall also bill the Agency for the federal funds
paid by the State to the Agency for project costs which are subsequently determined to be ineligible for federal participation(see Section IX).
VII. Audit of Federal Consultant Contracts
The Agency, if services of a consultant are required, shall be responsible for audit of the consultant's records to determine eligible federal aid
costs on the project. The report of said audit shall be in the Agency's files and made available to the State and the Federal Government.
An audit shall be conducted by the WSDOT Internal Audit Office in accordance with generally accepted governmental auditing standards as
issued by the United States General Accounting Office by the Comptroller General of the United States; WSDOT Manual M 27-50, Consultant
Authorization, Selection, and Agreement Administration; memoranda of understanding between WSDOT and FHWA; and Office of Management
and Budget Circular A-133.
If upon audit it is found that overpayment or participation of federal money in ineligible items of cost has occurred,the Agency shall reimburse
the State for the amount of such overpayment or excess participation(see Section IX).
Vill. Single Audit Act
The Agency,as a subrecipient of federal funds,shall adhere to the federal Office of Management and Budget(OMB)Circular A-133 as well as all
applicable federal and state statutes and regulations. A subrecipient who expends $500,000 or more in federal awards from all sources during a
given fiscal year shall have a single or program-specific audit performed for that year in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133.
Upon conclusion of the A-133 audit,the Agency shall be responsible for ensuring thata copy of the report is transmitted promptly to the State.
IX. Payment of Billing
The Agency agrees that if payment or arrangement for payment of any of the State's billing relative to the project(e.g., State force work,project
cancellation,overpayment, cost ineligible for federal participation,etc.)is not made to the State within 45 days after the Agency has been billed,the
State shall effect reimbursement of the total sum due from the regular monthly fuel tax allotments to the Agency from the Motor Vehicle Fund. No
additional Federal project funding will be approved until full payment is received unless otherwise directed the Director of Highways and Local
Programs.
X. Traffic Control, Signing, Marking, and Roadway
Maintenance
The Agency will not permit any changes to be made in the provisions for parking regulations and traffic control on this project without prior
approval of the State and Federal Highway Administration. The Agency will not install or permit to be installed any signs,signals, or markings not

and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of USDOT-assisted contracts and
agreements. The WSDOT's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by USDOT, is incorporated by reference in this
agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement.
Upon notification to the Agency of its failure to carry out its approved program,the Department may impose sanctions as provided for under Part 26
and may, in appropriate cases,refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986(31 U.
S.C. 3801 et seq.).
The Agency hereby agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work,or modification thereof,as

whenever:
(1) The requisite federal funding becomes unavailable through failure of appropriation or otherwise.
(2) The contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the
prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense, or an Executive Order of the President or Governor of the State with respect to the
preservation of energy resources.
(3) The contractor is prevented from proceeding with the work by reason of a preliminary, special, or permanent restraining order of a
court of competent jurisdiction where the issuance of such order is primarily caused by the acts or omissions of persons or agencies other than
the contractor.
(4) The Secretary determines that such termination is in the best interests of the State.

Subject: Green-Duwamish Cleanup — Pollutant Loading Assessment
Information Only
Summary: The Green/Duwamish River watershed is identified on Washington's
impaired waterbody list as being impaired by over 50 different pollutants. Portions of
the Green/Duwamish River watershed are also on the National Priorities List and are
in various stages of sediment cleanup under the federal Superfund and Washington
State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) programs.
Ecology and EPA entered into an order in December 2000 with King County, Port of
Seattle (the Port), City of Seattle, and The Boeing Company, to assess the extent of
sediment contamination and proceed with a cleanup action plan. Sediment cleanup
efforts are ongoing.
Ecology and EPA have decided that, in addition to ongoing cleanup efforts in the
Duwamish, a concerted effort is needed to address pollution sources upstream of the
Duwamish. These efforts will include extensive pollution modeling with the goal of
establishing achievable and measurable reductions in pollutants being introduced to
the Green River and its tributaries.
Staff will present an update on the Pollutant Loading Assessment process, including
tentative schedules, Kent participation, and possible outcomes of the effort.
