Delchamps noted that staff met with the Mayor to go through the
applications and narrowed it down to the following, top two:
1. Lighting and Pedestrian Wayfinding on W James St and W Smith St between
the Lincoln Park & Ride and Kent Sounder

chance of being chosen for the grant.
10. Information Only/Howard Hanson Dam Downstream Fish Passage
Environmental Engineering Manager, Mike Mactutis gave the committee a
little background regarding the City’s partnership with the Tacoma Public
Utilities on municipal water supply from the Green River. This partnership
includes access to some of the water that is stored in the Howard Hanson
Dam Reservoir during the summer.
On February 15, 2019, the National Marine Fisheries Service issued a
Biological Opinion (BiOp) about the Howard Hanson Dam operation and
maintenance related to its impact on endangered species. Mactutis updated
the committee on the relevance to the city’s municipal water supply, flood
protection and environmental efforts for salmon.
11. Information Only/Quiet Zone Update
Transportation Manager, Rob Brown gave a status update on the Quiet Zone.
Brown noted that at the last few meetings he’s been talking about the grade
crossing inventory forms and how they are key for both the Quiet Zones to
move forward. Brown informed the committee that the Federal Rail
Administration (FRA) updated their database with all the new data from not
only the City of Kent but also the railroads. Now that those are done, we can
start moving forward.
Union Pacific Railroad: Willis Street crossing is in the State limited access for
Highway 167, staff has been working with the State to either get a
maintenance agreement to allow us to maintain the railroad crossing, for
which they would give us a letter of Take No Issue, which means they
wouldn’t agree to the Quiet Zone, but they would take no issue to it. Staff
feels this would be enough to establish a Quiet Zone. The other method we
are pursuing is changing the access classification from limited access

MOTION: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
consultant services agreement with Otak, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$63,450 for preliminary design of the Summit Landsburg Road Culvert
Replacement at Rock Creek, subject to final terms and conditions
acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: Upon execution of the City of Kent Clark Springs Water Supply System
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), the City obtained an Incidental Take Permit (ITP)
which serves to protect the City should operation of the City’s water supply system
result in harm to endangered salmon species. As a condition of the HCP, the City is
required to implement a number of Habitat Conservation Measures (HCMs) that will
enhance the habitat conditions in the watershed.
The culvert replacement project at Summit Landsburg Road and Rock Creek is
identified as Habitat Conservation Measure 5 (HCM-5), in the City of Kent’s Clark
Springs HCP. The goal of the project is to replace three existing 36-inch corrugated
metal pipe (CMP) culverts with a single, large culvert structure which meets fish
passage requirements as determined by the WA Department of Fish and Wildlife.
This contract with Otak, Inc. will allow the city to complete preliminary designs and
submit for long lead environmental permits for a culvert crossing at Summit
Landsburg Road and Rock Creek. Once the type, size, and location of the culvert
are determined through this preliminary design phase, a separate contract will be
needed to advance the project to final design.
BUDGET IMPACT: Funded through budgeted water utility funds.

City of Kent
Rock Creek Fish Passage Project – Preliminary Design
Otak Project No. 33028
Scope of Services
The City of Kent requested a scope of work and fee proposal for the design of a culvert to replace the triple-barrel
culvert that passes Rock Creek across Summit Landsburg Road outside of Maple Valley in unincorporated King
County. The project’s goals are to replace the three existing 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts so that
it is fish passable during low through high flows, so that it will be able to qualify for permit approval from other
agencies, and so that it can be constructed by fall, 2020.
Other key features of the project include:
Permit acquisition, environmental review and mitigation
Critical area survey
Culvert design including constructability review
Utility coordination
Support easement or property acquisition
This scope of services is based on email and telephone correspondence with the City and a site visit on August
13, 2018. The project will be accomplished in three phases – Preliminary Design, Final Design and Permitting,
and Construction Support. This scope of work describes those activities within Preliminary Design to determine
the type, size and location of the culvert replacement.
Preliminary Design
Phase 1 will begin by gathering data, identifying project goals, and looking at alternatives to meet the goals. An
alternatives analysis memorandum will be prepared and reviewed by the City. The City, with input from project
stakeholders, will determine which alternative to take through design development. Work up to this point is
described as Phase 1 throughout this Scope of Work. It is anticipated that the following items of work will be
needed to accomplish Phase 1:
Topographic surveying and basemapping provided by the City’s Survey Group.
Gather pertinent data including delineation of ordinary high water and wetland boundaries delineation and
stream assessment.
Determine work required to achieve a successful permitting strategy, including documented discussions with
appropriate permitting agency staff.
Rudimentary culvert type, size and location analysis.
Gather information on existing utilities and perform a cursory review of impact utilities will have on each
alternative.
Up to three culvert configurations will be analyzed. All alternatives will assume that the road will be built to its
long-term width as recommended by King County.

TASK 2: PERMITTING, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND SPECIAL STUDIES
The objective of this task is to identify and assist with acquiring all the permits, environmental review and special
studies required for this project. Permitting and regulatory compliance will be done in parallel with existing
conditions documentation, analysis, and project design as follows.
2.1 Complete Wetland/Stream Delineation and Prepare Critical Areas Report
Otak will delineate wetland and stream habitats within the project area of potential impacts along SE Summit
Landsburg Road at Rock Creek. Stream habitat characterization will be documented to establish baseline
conditions to inform subsequent permit applications. The delineated wetland boundaries, data plots, and ordinary
high water (OHW) line will be marked with flagging or wire flag stakes as appropriate. The City will survey the
flagging for the project basemap and in support of the Critical Areas Report that will be completed as part of this
task. All wetlands and streams within 100 feet of the SE Summit Landsburg Road right-of-way and within 200 feet
of the creek crossing will be delineated.
Wetlands will be delineated using the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987) as amended, and
the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains Valleys,
and Coast Region (2010) as required by King County and Ecology/Corps of Engineers. All delineated wetlands
will be rated using the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington – 2014 Update
(Ecology Publication No. 14-06-029) to classify wetlands and determine buffer widths per King County’s critical
areas ordinance (King County Code Chapter 21A.24). The OHW line on Rock Creek will be delineated in
accordance with USACE Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-05 (Ordinary High-Water Mark Identification) and
Determining the Ordinary High-Water Mark for Shoreline Management Act Compliance in Washington State
(Ecology 2016). The OHW line delineation will be coordinated with representatives of the Muckleshoot Tribe.
Critical areas covered in the critical areas report will include wetlands, aquatic areas, and wildlife habitat
conservation areas and habitat networks.
Assumptions:
The City of Kent (City) will obtain all rights-of-entry from private property owners to conduct fieldwork for the
project.
Otak will provide a draft Critical Areas Report in electronic format to City staff for one round of review and
comment.
Wetland and stream delineation will each require a one-day field effort conducted by two wetland scientists,
plus travel time.
Otak will coordinate with representatives from the Muckleshoot Tribal Fisheries and other interested resource
agencies to be present during the identification of OHW and measurement of bankfull width.

k:\project\33000\33028\contract\rock creek fish passage scope 2019_0403.docx
The City will professionally survey the delineated wetland and stream boundaries as part of the basemap for
the project.
The final Critical Areas Report will include an exhibit showing all permanent and temporary impacts to wetland
and streams in the project area as part of the mitigation plan for the project (see Task 2.3).
It is assumed that the Culvert Monitoring Report will not be required with the JARPA, although it may be
needed soon after submittal to the Corps of Engineers, and should be considered an early action item in the
next phase of work.
Deliverable:
Draft and Final Critical Areas Report.
TASK 3: GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATION AND ANALYSIS (BY OTHERS)
The objective of this task is to conduct all necessary geotechnical explorations and analyses to complete Tasks 4
and 5. To support Otak’s work, GeoEngineers will perform a site reconnaissance, conduct a geotechnical
engineering investigation, produce a Geotechnical Report, and assist with geotechnical aspects of project plans
and specifications. The City will contract directly with GeoEngineers to complete the exploration and analysis.
The replacement culvert system has not been selected; however, Otak and GeoEngineers understand that box
culvert and bottomless culverts are being considered. Based on our understanding of the geology in the area we
expect that shallow foundations or at-grade support will be suitable for supporting the new culvert. Otak
anticipates that existing pavements on Summit Landsburg Road within and adjacent to the project site will likely
either need to be repaired or replaced as part of this project.
We expect that the span length of the new culvert may be greater than 20 feet. The span of the new culvert will be
based on the determination of the bankfull width (Task 2) with additional factors to conform to WDFW’s Stream
Simulation method for fish passage culvert design. According to the Washington State Department of
Transposition (WSDOT) Buried Structures Design Memorandum dated July 31, 2015, Buried Structures (which
includes culverts similar to those proposed) with span lengths greater than 20 feet need to consider seismic
design, which would include seismic earth pressures, liquification and lateral spreading. The proposed scope is
based on the assumption that seismic conditions will need to be evaluated during design. If it is determined that
the culvert span will be less than 20 feet, it may be possible to reduce the depths of the borings performed and
eliminate or reduce seismic portion of our design and analysis scope.
The purpose of the geotechnical services is to explore subsurface conditions and provide geotechnical and
earthwork recommendations to support planning, design, and construction of the proposed culvert. The specific
scope of geotechnical services includes the following tasks:
3.1 Plan and Coordinate Field Investigation
GeoEngineers will review readily available published geologic data and select relevant in-house files for existing
information on subsurface conditions in the project vicinity. GeoEngineers will visit the project site to mark out a
preliminary location for our exploration and contact the “One-Call” Utility Notification Center, as required by
Washington State law. GeoEngineers will not be liable for damage to unmarked or unidentified underground
utilities.

Rock Creek Fish Passage Project – Preliminary Design April 1, 2019
k:\project\33000\33028\contract\rock creek fish passage scope 2019_0403.docx
GeoEngineers will obtain a street use permit to drill borings on Summit Landsburg Road in the area of the
proposed culvert. We have assumed that a City of Kent Street Use Permit will be required. GeoEngineers will
subcontract traffic control services to prepare a traffic control plan and to maintain a work zone on Summit
Landsburg Road during our exploration program.
3.2 Field Exploration and Laboratory Testing
GeoEngineers will explore subsurface conditions within the project area by advancing two hollow stem auger
borings using subcontracted drilling equipment and operator. We have budgeted to complete up to 120 linear feet
of drilling. It may be possible to reduce the amount of drilling depending on the determined span length.
Additionally, if very dense glacially consolidated soils are encountered at shallow depths in the borings, it may be
possible to reduce the total drilling depths. We will attempt to locate the borings at either end of Summit
Landsburg Road in the culvert area. Ultimately, drilling locations will be selected based on field conditions
including utility locations, safety, and access constraints. We have assumed that the drilling can be completed in
two days on site.
GeoEngineers will subcontract with an asphalt repair contractor to saw cut around the exploration locations and
patch the existing pavement with hot mix asphalt concrete.
GeoEngineers will conduct geotechnical laboratory testing on selected soil samples. We have budgeted to
complete two particle-size distribution tests and four percent fines determinations (percent of material passing the
U.S. No. 200 sieve).
3.3 Geotechnical Engineering Analyses and Reporting
GeoEngineers will provide a discussion of soil and groundwater conditions encountered in the explorations. They
will provide seismic design parameters based on the 2014 American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFS) Bridge Design Specifications
(AASHTO LRFD). They will comment on the potential for lateral spreading and ground surface fault rupture at the
site and evaluate the potential for liquefaction under the design seismic event using simplified empirical-based
liquefaction methods.
GeoEngineers will provide recommendations for site preparation and earthwork. We will discuss temporary
erosion and sedimentation controls, temporary and permanent slopes, estimated stripping and clearing depths, fill
placement and compaction requirements, suitability of on-site material for use as structural fill, import fill
requirements, wet weather considerations, groundwater handling, and site drainage.
GeoEngineers will provide recommendations for shallow spread footing design, including foundation bearing
surface preparation, setback and embedment criteria, design soil bearing pressures, lateral resistance values and
estimates of settlement. GeoEngineers will provide recommended active, passive, and at-rest lateral earth
pressures for retaining walls and below-grade elements. They will also provide recommendations for seismic
surcharge pressures and drainage criteria.
GeoEngineers will prepare a written geotechnical report presenting our findings, conclusions, and
recommendations. Our report will include a project site plan showing approximate locations of our explorations,
summary exploration logs, laboratory test results and appropriate engineering figures.
Assumptions:
The geotechnical investigation and analysis will be performed under direct contract between GeoEngineers
and the City.
GeoEngineers will obtain a Street Use Permit from King County to complete their explorations. If other

permits are required, they have assumed they will be coordinated by others and provided to them.
Drilling will require creating an approximately 1-foot diameter cut in the existing pavement. They may
temporarily repair the cut using cold mix asphalt or concrete until the hot mix asphalt repair subcontractor can
return to the site to complete the pavement restoration. They have budgeted to saw cut around the drilling
area or to replace the pavement with hot mix asphalt.
GeoEngineers have assumed that traffic control will be required to complete the pavement patching and the
patching will take place within one to two weeks after drilling is completed.
All borings will be backfilled in accordance with state regulations by the licensed driller subcontracted to
complete drilling operations. Cuttings generated during drilling will be placed in drums and hauled off site for
disposal.
GeoEngineers will produce a Geotechnical Report summarizing their investigation, conclusions and
recommendations for the final project design and permitting.
The Geotechnical Report will each consist of one draft and a final.
Deliverables:
One draft and a final Geotechnical Report
Input (text and redline markups) to project plans and specifications
TASK 4: ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING
The objective of this task is to evaluate the requirements for fish passage and propose alternatives for the culvert
replacement structure and channel restoration that meet those requirements. The City requested that both culvert
and bridge alternatives be considered. Alternatives for the culvert replacement will be in accordance with
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Water Crossing Design Guidelines. The preference by WDFW
is to use the Stream Simulation method for sizing the minimum width for the culvert or bridge opening based on
representative bankfull width obtained during Task 2.2. Alternatives for the channel restored through the culvert or
bridge will consider the streamflow depths and velocities to provide fish passage plus streambed materials that resist
scour. Alternatives will be considered based on previous studies, field survey, site reconnaissance, Otak’s
engineering and environmental judgement, and the City’s involvement.
This task will not be initiated until the City has reviewed the Preliminary Geotechnical Report (Task 3) and given
Otak explicit notice-to-proceed.
The City will contract directly with MGS Environmental to use their HSPF model of the Rock Creek basin
4.1. Hydraulic Analyses and Design Alternatives
The purpose of this subtask is to develop a thorough understanding of existing hydrologic, hydraulic, and
sediment transport conditions that will be used to facilitate the development of the project design and to provide
the necessary analyses to support the hydraulic design of the proposed channel realignment and culvert
replacement.
To perform this subtask, Otak shall:
Compile and review available data and previous studies on the creek.
Conduct a site investigation to better understand existing channel dynamics, sediment sources and reach
geomorphic processes.
Identify survey needs for hydraulic modeling.
Perform a hydrologic analysis by developing a WWHM model of the Rock Creek drainage basin. The WWHM
analysis is needed given that lack of local stream gage data and the need to quantify the magnitude and
frequency over the entire range of flows and not just peak discharges.

Rock Creek Fish Passage Project – Preliminary Design April 1, 2019
k:\project\33000\33028\contract\rock creek fish passage scope 2019_0403.docx
Develop a one-dimensional steady flow HEC-RAS model that represents existing conditions along the creek
extending from 300 feet downstream of Summit Landsburg Road to 300 feet upstream of the road. Run the
model for a range of flows up through the 100-year flood peak.
Based on the hydraulic analysis and geomorphic assessment, perform a sediment continuity (sediment
budget) analysis to estimate bed material sediment loads to the design reach and existing sediment
deposition in the reach.
Based on the analysis of existing conditions including environmental and engineering judgement, and City
involvement, conduct an alternatives analysis to develop channel restoration alternatives including
connections to the existing creek.
Provide qualitative geomorphic assessment of the likely channel responses to the alternatives.
Develop a HEC-RAS model of the preferred alternatives.
Utilize the hydraulic model results to perform the necessary hydraulic calculations to support the project
design such as scour estimates, stability of large wood, etc.
Assumptions:
Otak will meet with the City to review the results of the delineation of the OHW and bankfull measurements
(Task 2.1) and select the minimum culvert width that meets the stream simulation method.
The restored channel should have a top width comparable to the bankfull width and a low flow channel to
provide a minimum of 0.5 feet of depth at low summer flows.
Hydraulic analysis using HEC-RAS will be performed on the minimum culvert width to evaluate maximum
velocities and depths at the 2-, 25-, and 100-year peak discharges assuming steady state conditions.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Hydraulic Design Alternatives Memorandum.
Electronic copies of hydraulic models developed for the project.
4.2 Structural Analysis and Design Alternatives
Otak will define and evaluate two culvert alternatives. Alternatives will assume that the structure will be built to its
long-term roadway width as recommended by King County.
Preliminary structural analysis and design will include the following structures:
Culvert replacement for Rock Creek crossing of SE Summit Landsburg Road – the existing three 36-inch
diameter culverts will be replaced with a fish passable structure.
Existing rockery walls – the existing rockeries on both sides of SE Summit Landsburg Road will be affected by
construction and will be removed and replaced. Replacement options will include determination of appropriate
wall types.
Work for these structures will include:
1. Coordination – in order to determine the culvert/bridge and wall geometry, appropriate structure
replacement type and/or repair scenario, and structure foundation requirements, structural staff will
coordinate with other engineering disciplines.
a. Hydraulic coordination – review preliminary hydraulic information and recommendations and
discuss with hydraulics engineers. Topics may include stream alignment and profile, stream width
and bank grading, culvert embedment depth and scour analysis.
b. Geotechnical coordination – review preliminary geotechnical information and recommendations
and discuss with geotechnical subconsultant. Topics may include initial site investigation findings,
external structure stability, existing wall internal stability, bearing capacity, potential long-term

slope options, soil parameters for wall and culvert/bridge design, wall and structure loading, wall
repair and replacement options, culvert/bridge type options and foundation type options.
c. Roadway and traffic coordination – review preliminary roadway and traffic information and
recommendations with the City’s civil and traffic engineers. Topics may include traffic and
pedestrian phasing and/or detours, roadway width, sidewalk width, roadway side slopes and
grading, ADT and percent truck traffic.
2. Preliminary structural analysis and design
a. Culvert replacement for Rock Creek crossing of SE Summit Landsburg Road – develop culvert
structure type options and develop preliminary sketches and cost of the recommended option.
b. Assume shallow foundations.
c. Existing rockery wall, SE Summit Landsburg Road at Rock Creek – determine impacts to the
existing rockery and develop replacement options. Develop preliminary sketches and cost of the
recommended option.
3. Draft Structural Design Alternatives Memorandum – Prepare and submit a draft memo to the City
describing the culvert alternatives considered. The draft memo will summarize hydraulic, geotechnical,
roadway and traffic requirements; structural wall and culvert options; and recommended options for
moving forward with design.
4. Final Structural Design Alternatives Memorandum – Review and respond to City comments on the draft
memo.
Assumptions:
Preliminary hydraulic, geotechnical, roadway and traffic recommendations will be available a minimum of 3
weeks prior to development of the draft structural report.
Culvert type will be a contractor designed three-sided or four-sided precast concrete box culvert. If full design
is required or another structure type is required, it will be covered in final design.
Culvert foundation type to be considered will be spread footings. If required, deep foundations, including pin
piles, driven piles or drilled shafts will be covered.
Wall types to be considered will be rockery, gabions, gravity block, structural earth or reinforced concrete. If
required, other wall types will be covered during final design.
Structural shoring for phasing of culvert construction will be contractor designed.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Structural Design Alternatives Memorandum.
TASK 5: PRELIMINARY DESIGN
The objective of this task is to prepare drawings to illustrate the preferred project elements for the
culvert/bridge, wall, and stream channel, and to prepare JARPA exhibits for use in permitting.
This task will not be initiated until the City has reviewed the Draft Hydraulic Design Alternatives Memo and the
Draft Structural Design Alternatives Memo (Task 4) and given Otak explicit notice-to-proceed.
5.1 Preliminary (30%) Design Plans and Estimate
Otak will develop the 30% design for the preferred project elements after the City’s review of the alternatives
presented in the Hydraulic and Structural Design Alternatives memos (Tasks 4.1 and 4.2 respectively). The goals
of this task are to advance the design options chosen by the City from the Design Alternatives memos to the 30%
design level, to provide the details and quantities to include in the City’s permit applications, and to define the
project elements to be developed in the Final Design tasks. The 30% plans will be completed for the fish passage
structure (culvert or bridge), the retaining wall, and channel restoration elements to a level of completeness that

technical, cost, and permit feasibility can be evaluated. Sketches developed for the Design Alternative memos will
be updated to the 30% design level. 30% detail for structural sheets will include basic culvert/bridge and wall plan,
elevation and typical section geometry; and general notes for construction of the recommended options. Basic
construction phasing needs will be addressed, and phasing intent will be shown. The 30% plans will include plan
view of existing conditions including critical area delineations, plan and sections of preferred culvert/bridge and
retaining wall; plan, profile and section of proposed channel restoration; proposed roadway plan and profile; and
plan view of wetland and stream impacts. The 30% design plans will be prepared using the City’s format.
Additionally, the fish passage structure, walls, and channel elements will be illustrated so that they can be
included with the City’s Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JARPA).
Otak will prepare planning level construction cost estimates for the 30% plans. The cost estimate will be based on
King County or WSDOT bid items and unit cost on previous bids on similar projects.
Assumptions:
Otak will meet with the City to discuss the Design Alternatives results before making a recommendation
regarding the preferred fish passage structure, wall and channel restoration.
Construction staging alternatives will be identified and evaluated as appropriate.
The 30% level plans and engineer’s estimate are intended to present the feasibility (technical, permitting, and
cost) of the proposed design. It is understood that major design revisions may be required based on the City’s
review of the 30% design submittal.
30% level estimate of construction cost, with contingencies. Previous City projects, along with WSDOT unit
price analysis, may be used for the estimate.
Deliverables:
30% level plan, profile and details for the culvert replacements.
30% level estimate of construction cost, with contingencies. Previous projects, along with WSDOT unit price
analysis, may be used for the estimate.
30% level plan, profile and details for the culvert/bridge and channel will be formatted in City standards and in
JARPA standards.

DATE: April 15, 2019
TO: Public Works Committee
SUBJECT: Consultant Services Agreement for Mitigation Design for the
Mill Creek Reestablishment Project with Natural Systems
Design, Inc.
MOTION: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Agreement with Natural Systems Design in an amount
not to exceed $92,495.00, for the design of Mill Creek Reestablishment
Project mitigation plans subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to
the City Attorney and Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: The Mill Creek Reestablishment Project (“Project”) includes removing
accumulated sediment from Mill Creek in order to restore the creek. Accumulated
sediments have filled in the creek channel at depths of up to five feet over the past
three decades. The creek was dredged and maintained regularly until the 1980s when
permitting made creek maintenance difficult and expensive. Accumulated sediment has
exacerbated flooding problems in the Kent Valley.
In order to submit environmental permits for this project, regulators require a
mitigation plan for project impacts to wetlands and wetland buffers. This consultant
contract will provide the mitigation design necessary to submit the permit.
BUDGET IMPACT: Stormwater Utility Fund – budgeted expenditure.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Thriving City, Evolving Infrastructure, Innovative Government

SCOPE OF WORK
In order to meet the anticipated compensatory wetland mitigation requirements of the City of Kent Public
Works (hereafter CITY) Mill Creek Reestablishment Project, Natural Systems Design (hereafter NSD) will
prepare 30% design plan set and a corresponding Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) document
for the City-owned 21-acre Frankford site (King County parcel #2632000207; intersection of S. 212th St and S
216th St). NSD will also research and evaluation the site potential of the privately owned, approximately 10.2-
acre Matelich site (King County parcel #2222049029; east of SR516 and west of Frager Road South) to
support wetland/stream restoration.
This scope of work has been drafted per coordination between the CITY and NSD on April 8 and 9, 2019 and
describes the basic technical services to be completed by NSD to support development of mitigation design
sufficient to support JARPA application for an Individual Clean Water Act Section 404 permit for the Mill
Creek Reestablishment Project. It is our understanding that the CITY is determining avoidance, minimization,
and impacts to wetlands and waters. NSD understands that the CITY seeks to maximize the acres of
mitigation credit available at each site. We will work with the City to achieve that goal, but cannot guarantee
that either or both sites will be be sufficient mitigation for the Mill Creek Enhancement Project impacts.
TASK 1. FRANKFORD MITIGATION SITE
SUBTASK 1.1: SITE VISIT, BASELINE AND REFERENCE CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT
NSD will review and compile background information to understand existing conditions at the Frankford
property and its connections to the adjacent City-owned wetland north of South 212th Street. This includes,
but is not limited to, review of the ICF delineation report, soils inventory, private development mitigation site
as-builts for southern portion of the site, and hydrologic data from piezometers installed in the wetland
north of S. 212th Street. Publicly available topographic data will be compiled and evaluated for use.
Information gathered during this task will be used to identify data gaps to be filled during the site
assessment.
After completion of the background review, NSD will perform a one-day field site assessment to collect key
site information and increase our understanding of how the site is currently functioning. The primary
aspects of the field reconnaissance will be to review hydrologic pathways and vegetation communities to
inform conceptual wetland enhancement design (e.g. culverts, depressions, native vegetation communities).
Historical pre-disturbance conditions will be characterized based on observations for adjacent wetland
areas, air photos and reference literature. The evolution of the site over the record of available historic air
photos will be considered in context with anthropogenic disturbances occurring within the watershed. The
current conditions will be characterized using the most recent air photos available, 2016 LiDAR topography,
and data collected during the field reconnaissance. The analysis will be included in the HMMP in Task 1.3.
Based on the understanding thus gained, NSD will draft a wetland enhancement concept (per Task 1.2).
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide NSD with ICF delineation report, as-built plans, and piezometer data.
2. Field site assessment will occur after background data are provided and reviewed.
3. Site conditions are such that field site assessment can be accomplished in one field day, including
travel, for the project ecologists.
Deliverables:
None included with this task.

SUBTASK 1.2: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLAN SHEET AND MITIGATION STATEMENT SUPPORT
NSD understands that the CITY seeks to maximize the acres of mitigation credit available. NSD will
collaborate with the CITY to refine objectives and design criteria based on key findings from Task 1.1. NSD will
submit updated project goals and specific restoration objectives for review by the CITY. These goals and
objectives will provide the guidance for the development of the conceptual plans.
The ability of the site to sustain forested and/or scrub-shrub wetland communities with typical mitigation site
maintenance and associated costs will be considered, as well as wetland habitats which appropriately
mitigate for the project impacts will be key elements of the conceptual design. Maintenance and access
issues/requirements will also be identified.
NSD will develop a conceptual design plan and associated conceptual level construction cost estimate that
includes proposed wetland enhancement actions, their locations, dimensions, and intent toward achieving
the project goals and objectives.
NSD will present the conceptual design plan to the CITY for review and approval before advancing to Task
1.3. Following review and comment by the CITY, NSD will prepare a summary outlining the criteria upon
which the design was based and will support the CITY in preparing a ‘complete mitigation statement’. The
statement will support the CITY’s JARPA and will include a statement of why offsite mitigation is
appropriate, the functional lift expected from the mitigation site, and the basic acres and type of mitigation
proposed at the site. The contents of this statement will be integrated into the Habitat Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan document prepared in Task 1.3.
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide CITY template for CAD standards within two weeks of notice to proceed.
2. The existing wetland is Category II, per Kent Municipal Code 11.06.580, and thus will require an
enhanced quality ‘paper buffer’ surrounding the enhanced portion of the wetland.
a. NSD will develop the design consistent with these expectations, and consistent with the
anticipation that impact reduction measures per KMC 11.06.600.C2 will support a buffer of 75-
175 feet (depending on habitat points from the ICF wetland rating form).
3. LIDAR from WDNR LIDAR portal and/or Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium will be used to create the
surface for the conceptual design.
4. No grading is anticipated at this site.
5. Habitat structures (snags, downed wood debris) to improve the wetland habitat function and
provide functional lift are anticipated.
6. Conceptual design will be plan view representation of the proposed design, with typical/detail of
planting zones and habitat structures.
7. One conceptual design plan sheet will be produced in CAD and delivered as 11” x 17” format PDF, for
one round of CITY review and consolidated comments; conflicting comments will be resolved by the
CITY prior to transmittal to NSD.
8. One conceptual design review conference call with CITY or meeting held at NSD’s Seattle office; 2-
hour duration for project ecologist and engineer.
Deliverables
Conceptual design drawing, plan view and typical/detail delivered as 11” x 17” format PDFs
Conceptual construction cost estimate delivered as EXCEL file

statement information to support the conceptual plan.
SUBTASK 1.3: 30% DESIGN PLAN SET AND DRAFT HABITAT MITIGATION AND MONITORING PLAN DOCUMENT
Following CITY review and approval, NSD will advance the approved conceptual design (Task 1.2) to develop
a preliminary/30% level design plan set, and will prepare a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP)
document consistent in content with Kent Municipal Code requirements for wetland enhancement
(11.06.660.C3). as well as Ecology and Corps requirements for mitigation plan contents.
Area/extent of site preparation and planting zones will be presented and described, site preparation work to
address reed canarygrass will be specified, and material quantities and construction techniques with
associated access and delivery considerations will be included. NSD will complete a functional lift analysis of
the proposed mitigation plan based on the ICF wetland delineation and ratings for inclusion in the HMMP.
The HMMP will also include performance standards for a 10-year performance monitoring period.
NSD will develop a preliminary construction cost estimate based on the final preliminary/30% design plan set.
The cost estimate will be developed to a preliminary level with associated contingency levels. A cost
estimate inclusive of site protection, maintenance, and monitoring will be included in the HMMP.
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide CITY template for CAD standards.
2. CITY will provide surveyed location of property boundaries and utilities in AutoCAD compatible form
for use in the 30% design.
3. LIDAR from WDNR LIDAR portal and/or Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium will be used to create the

boundary will be included in the preliminary plans.
5. No geotechnical analysis is required.
6. No hydraulic modeling will be needed to create the 30% mitigation design plan set.
a. NSD may recommend installation of piezometers and water surface elevation gages in the
site to support finalization of wetland enhancement design. Any such installation and data
collection would need to occur via contract amendment.
7. CITY will submit JARPA with the conceptual plan, but will require the 30% design plan set to acquire
project permits under all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
8. Design sheets will be developed in AutoCAD 2017 or equivalent.
9. NSD will use WSDOT unit bid items and costs where possible.
10. NSD will use our internal database of recent construction bids where applicable.
11. CITY will bid the project independently from the Mill Creek Reestablishment project.
12. Drawings will be produced at 11 x 17 for the preliminary design.
13. No specifications will be developed for this design iteration.
14. CITY will assist in preparation of site protection, maintenance, and monitoring costs chapter of the

SUBTASK 1.5: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
This task includes scheduling, budget and schedule management, coordination with the CITY, and quality
control services for this work. For activities covered by this scope of work, NSD shall work closely with the
CITY and to meet the goals and objectives of the work assignment. NSD will coordinate its activities with the
CITY’s project manager to ensure that NSD’s activities do not duplicate or conflict with other consultant or
CITY activities.
Assumptions
1.Project management will entail approximately 1 hour per month for invoicing and budget
management and approximately 3 hours per month of coordination with the City by phone or
email.
2.Task 1 will extend between primarily between May 2019 and July 2019 (3 months) and will
culminate in the CITY’s JARPA submittal to the Corps/Ecology/WDFW. Contract would remain
open until December 31, 2020 per City request.
Deliverables
Monthly invoices
Email and telephone meeting notes (if requested)
TASK 2: MATELICH MITIGATION SITE VIABILITY ASSESSMENT
The CITY has not yet determined if the Matelich property is a viable site for acquisition and mitigation. NSD
would support the CITY in considering site viability prior to property purchase by analyzing the conditions in
and around Midway Creek and its associated wetlands upstream and downstream of the Matelich site. If our
initial site assessment indicates there are significant constraints which would limit the viability of wetland
mitigation at this site, we would advise the CITY and terminate work on this task.
SUBTASK 2.1: SITE VISIT, BASELINE CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT, SITE VIABILITY ASSESSMENT
NSD will review and compile background information to understand existing conditions approximately 10.2-
acre Matelich site, privately owned, (King County parcel #2222049029; east of SR516 and west of Frager
Road South). This includes, but is not limited to, review of the ICF delineation report, soils inventory,
hydrologic data from monitoring well on site, and landscape context information that can be derived from
publicly available sources. LIDAR topographic data will be compiled and evaluated for use. Information
gathered during this task will be used to identify data gaps which would need to be filled to prepare a
mitigation design for the site.
After completion of the background review, NSD hydrologist and senior ecologists will perform a one-day
site investigation to collect key site information and increase our understanding of how the site is currently
functioning. The primary aspects of the field investigation will be to review hydrologic pathways and
vegetation communities and to collect existing conditions information at key locations (i.e. fill areas; water
quality indicators in the wetland) to inform the viability assessment. As part of this task, NSD will evaluate
the potential need for a hydrologic and hydraulic model of Midway Creek for potential mitigation site design.
It appears that the portion of Frager Road South north of the Matelich site is not assessible by vehicle
(Seattle Public Utilities ownership, bollards in road visible on GoogleEarth). Understanding the conditions at
the downstream culvert and confluence of Midway Creek with the Green River, both of which are located
within SPU parcel #0002000001, is important to understanding the site potential of the Matelich property.

NSD will work with the City to determine if SPU will grant pedestrian access along Frager Road South and
allow NSD staff to view the downstream culvert and confluence of the creek with the Green River.
Historical pre-disturbance conditions will be characterized based on observations for adjacent wetland
areas, air photos and reference literature. The evolution of the site over the record of available historic air
photos will be considered in context with anthropogenic disturbances occurring within the watershed. The
current conditions will be characterized using the most recent air photos available, 2016 LiDAR topography,
and data collected during the site visit.
NSD’s viability analysis will be presented in a short technical memo summarizing the research results, data
gaps, opportunitites and constraints, and presenting NSD’s best professional judgement regarding the
viability of the site for compensatory wetland mitigation and the tasks and level of effort needed to create a
30% design.
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide NSD with ICF delineation report, monitoring well data, Phase 1/2 site assessment
report, and any other information readily available regarding Midway Landfill and Midway Creek.
2. Field site investigation will occur after background data are provided and reviewed.
3. CITY will coordinate access to the Matelich site and coordinate with SPU if necessary to secure
access along Frager Road to downstream culvert and the Midway Creek confluence with the
Green River.
4. Site conditions are such that field site visit can be accomplished in one field day, including travel,
for project ecologists and hydrologist.
Deliverables:
Summary memo presenting site viability assessment.
COST ESTIMATE
This project budget represents our knowledge of the work already completed, best understanding of the
requested project elements, and accompanying assumptions articulated herein. For the scope of services
described above, we estimate that our total fee will be completed on a time and materials basis.
Estimated costs for the tasks described in this Scope of Work are outlined in Tables 1 and 2 based on the
assumptions described above and estimated level of effort given the limited information known to NSD
regarding these two sites at the time of this contract. It is our understanding that the necessary funds are
available for this project and that these funds are committed to the project upon execution of this
agreement
NSD will invoice on a Time and Materials basis, not to exceed the contract total, and may move resources
between tasks within the contract amount to accomplish the scope of work and as necessary and
appropriate to the work requested. NSD will coordinate with CITY on any substantive differences in actual
level of effort for the tasks included herein, compared to that anticipated in the cost estimate.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Tim LaPorte, PE
220 Fourth Avenue South
Kent, WA 98032
253-856-5600
DATE: April 15, 2019
TO: Public Works Committee
SUBJECT: Parking Ordinance – W Smith St, Mill Creek RPZ, and
Kentridge RPZ –
MOTION: Move to recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending
various sections of chapter 9.38 of the Kent City Code to add locations to
the two and four-hour parking zones, add a new four-hour parking zone to
be in effect at all times, to establish residential parking zones in the Mill
Creek Neighborhood and in the north sections of the Glencarin Division 1,
Shadow Run, and Jason Lane neighborhoods.
SUMMARY: Changes to the Chapter 9.38 of the Kent City Code (“KCC”) are
proposed to address issues in three neighborhoods, West Smith Street, the Mill
Creek neighborhood, and three neighborhoods south of Kentridge High School.
West Smith Street
West Smith Street has experienced an increase in the number of vehicles parking
on the street for extended periods of time. Enforcement efforts of the existing 24-
hour parking law have had improved parking availability but there are still several
vehicles that move within the block. This proposal would create a four-hour parking
zone which would allow parking for commercial needs and would also allow
enforcement of the existing code provision KCC 9.38.095 which prohibits “re-
parking” on the same block within a time-limited parking zone.
Mill Creek
Sounder ridership has increased annually since service began in 2000, affecting the
availability of parking near the Kent Transit Center. Residents in the Mill Creek
neighborhood have contacted the City with concerns about train commuters parking
in their neighborhood. Staff met with the Mill Creek Neighborhood Council to
identify specific areas where Sounder commuters are parking. Based on this
feedback, staff developed proposed residential parking zone boundaries for Council
consideration. The proposed residential parking zone would be in effect on
weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to deter commuter parking with
less impact to the neighborhood.
Neighborhoods south of Kentridge High School
The Kent School District permits high school students to drive to school, although
on-site parking availability is limited. As a result, Kentridge students park in
7
Packet Pg. 50
Glencarin Division 1, Shadow Run, and Jason Lane neighborhoods south of SE
208th Street. The residents of these neighborhoods have requested the City
implement parking restrictions through an ordinance to facilitate enforcement.
These residential areas were included in the Panther Lake Annexation area, and
currently include signed parking restrictions that were established by King County
prior to annexation into Kent but are not currently enforceable. The proposed
change to city code would create a residential parking zone in the northern sections
of these three neighborhoods between SE 211th Street and SE 208th Street. The
residential parking zone would be in effect from September through June, weekdays
excluding holidays, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The proposed
amendments to the parking restrictions in these neighborhoods incorporate
feedback recently received from the residents of the neighborhoods that would be
impacted by this RPZ.
BUDGET IMPACT: The estimated cost to implement a residential parking zone in
the north sections of Glencarin Division 1, Shadow Run, and Jason Lane
neighborhoods is estimated at $47,000 to remove the existing signs and procure
and install approximately 75 new signs and issue parking permits.
The estimated cost to procure and install signs as proposed to implement the
previously discussed Mill Creek RPZ is estimated at $25,000 to install approximately
38 signs and issue parking permits.
The estimated cost to procure and install signs for the previously discussed parking
restrictions on West Smith Street is estimated at $10,000 for approximately 20
parking signs.

1 Amend Chapter 9.38 KCC -
Time-Limited Parking and Residential
Parking Zone for Mill Creek Neighborhood
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the city council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending the Kent City
Code to address residential and commercial on-
street parking issues by: (1) amending section
9.38.060 to add streets to the locations with two-
hour parking limits, (2) amending section 9.38.065
to add streets to the locations with four-hour
parking limits during business hours and
establishing a new four-hour parking zone to be in
effect at all times, and (3) amending section
9.38.175 to establish a new residential parking
zone for the Mill Creek Neighborhood and near the
Kentridge High School.
RECITALS
A. Kentridge High School has limited parking available on-site for
its students. This has led parking to spill over into residential areas south
of the school impacting the surrounding neighborhoods. Specifically,
students have been observed parking in the Glencarin Division 1, Shadow
Run, and Jason Lane residential neighborhoods. Council desires to address
these neighborhood impacts.
B. Sound Transit’s “Sounder” train station, Kent Station, is
located between James Street and Smith Street between Railroad Avenue
and First Avenue North. Sounder operations began in late 2000. A parking
garage was constructed for the Sounder commuters as well as surface lots
and some on-street parking.

2 Amend Chapter 9.38 KCC -
Time-Limited Parking and Residential
Parking Zone for Mill Creek Neighborhood
C. In recent years, ridership on the Sounder has increased
significantly. With the success of the Sounder, Sound Transit has increased
train operations between Lakewood and Seattle by adding an additional
round trip in 2016 and two additional round trips in 2017. Cities on the
Sounder South route, including Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn and Kent have
experienced parking challenges associated with the Sounder’s increase in
ridership as the parking designated for Sounder commuters becomes fully
occupied very early in the morning on most weekdays. This has led
Sounder commuters to spill over and park in unintended areas of the
cities, including residential areas. Specifically in Kent, Sounder commuters
have been observed parking in the Mill Creek residential neighborhood.
D. Sound Transit is currently designing a project that will
construct a second parking garage downtown, however, that parking
garage is not scheduled to open until approximately 2023. While Sound
Transit continues to address the parking needs of its riders, the City has an
immediate need to address the impact to the Mill Creek Neighborhood by
adding parking time limits to some locations and creating a residential
parking zone.
F. Finally, West Smith Street has recently experienced an
increase in the number of vehicles parking on the street for extended
periods of time and at all hours of the day, which limits the availability of
and turnover of parking.
G. To address these issues and ensure that there is adequate
parking for both residential and commercial needs, this ordinance amends
various sections of Chapter 9.38 of the Kent City Code to add additional
time limited parking in a number of new locations and to establish two new
residential parking zones, “Kent RPZ No. 2,” within the Mill Creek
Neighborhood and “Kent RPZ No. 3” near the Kentridge High School. The

DATE: April 15, 2019
TO: Public Works Committee
SUBJECT: 2020-2025 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
MOTION: Move to recommend City Council set May 21, 2019 as the public
hearing date to consider adoption of the 2020-2025 Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program.
SUMMARY: The Draft 2020-2025 Six-Year TIP represents the City’s proposed
transportation improvement work program for the next six years. Per RCW
35.77.010, the six-year plan for each city shall specifically set forth those projects
and programs of regional significance for inclusion in the transportation
improvement program within that region. The program is also required to be
consistent with the Kent Comprehensive Plan.
Including projects in the Six-Year TIP allows the City to search for funding partners
and apply for grants. Most State and Federal agencies require that projects being
submitted for grants be included in the City’s adopted Six-Year TIP.
State law requires that the City hold a public hearing before adopting the TIP.
Accordingly, Staff recommends that the public hearing be set for May 21, 2019.

2020-2025 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
CITY OF KENT iii
Introduction
Overview
The 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 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TIP
represents Kent’s current list of needed projects that are anticipated to begin
preliminary engineering, right of way acquisition or construction within the next six
years. The TIP also includes ongoing citywide transportation programs. Projects and
programs are included in the plan for a variety of reasons. These projects and
programs encompass all transportation modes as well as both capital improvements
and operations and maintenance.
The document identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each
project or program. The TIP serves as a draft work plan for the development of the
local transportation network. Once adopted, the TIP will guide funding and
implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of
the Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP shows the City-funded
portion of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP
shows a complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners
involved.
Historically, the largest sources of funding for TIP projects have been grants.
Funding for transportation projects is available from federal, state and local
resources. Each funding source has specific rules and guidelines about what types
of projects it will fund, how much of a project will be funded and timelines for
expenditure of funds. Additionally, most grant programs require a funding match,
which means that the City must also contribute funding to the cost of a project.
The City of Kent funds transportation projects using the General Fund, Street Fund,
Local Improvement Districts, Transportation Impact Fees, Business and Occupation
Tax, Solid Waste Utility Tax, and grant revenue from local, state and federal
governments. One reason the TIP is updated annually is that many revenue sources
are closely tied to the health of the economy and can therefore be unpredictable. In
addition, grant criteria can change from the previous cycle necessitating a re-
evaluation of the TIP projects.
Document Structure
Each project or program listed in the TIP includes an estimated cost, the amount of
funding secured or unsecured and the funding source(s). If grant funding has been

secured from a specific source, it is identified. Projects listed that are necessary to
accommodate growth and allow the City to maintain its adopted Levels of Service
may be funded in part by transportation impact fees. The costs for projects
programmed in the first three years of the TIP have been developed with a higher
level of certainty whereas those in the latter three years have been developed with
less specificity, as those projects are generally less defined.
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010). It represents an important planning component under the State’s
Growth Management Act. The TIP must be consistent with the transportation
element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The TIP may be revised at any time
during the year by a majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing. In order to
compete for transportation funding grants from federal and state sources, granting
agencies require projects to be included in the TIP.
Changes to the TIP
The City updated its Comprehensive Plan in 2015. The first six years of the
Comprehensive Plan are financially constrained, meaning that secured funding is
demonstrated within an approved budget or similarly approved funding action.
Subsequently, the 2020-2025 TIP has been revised to reflect projects that will likely
be constructed using existing funding sources as well as the City’s historical record
of average grant disbursements. Tables 1 and 2 below detail projects added and
removed from the TIP. Table 3 details changes to existing project limits.

2020-2025 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Project Descriptions
CITY OF KENT 1
PROJECT #1: South 224th Street Extension (Phase I)
84th Avenue South to 88th Avenue South
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Construct a three-lane road from 84th Avenue South to 88th
Avenue South, including a new bridge over SR 167. The project
will include full-width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and
sidewalks; five-foot paved shoulders; street lighting; storm
drainage; landscaping; utilities and appurtenances. Construction
began in 2017 and will be completed in 2019.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $3,526,000
Right of Way Acquisition ... $1,451,000
Construction ................. $17,669,000
TOTAL ........................ $22,646,000
Secured Funding ............. $22,646,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Drainage Fund, Local Improvement District,
Special Assessments), Developer Mitigation, Transportation Improvement Board
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate
the current or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent’s East Hill and the
Green River Valley floor. To meet transportation concurrency requirements of the
Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is required.
Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and James/Southeast 240th Streets
are at or over capacity. Because of existing development and topographic
constraints, it is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and South
208th/212th Street ‘corridors’ enough to to provide the additional east-west
capacity needed to accommodate forecast traffic volumes .

PROJECT #4: Kent Valley Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Purchase and install five traffic signal cabinets, 34 controllers
and applicable communications capable of supporting flashing
yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA) operation for permissive left turns
at 14 intersections in the north Kent Valley.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ......... $56,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $813,000
TOTAL ............................. $869,000
Secured Funding ................. $869,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax) Federal
Highway Safety Improvement Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project builds upon a previous Federal Highway
Safety Improvement Program funded project that included replacement of the master
signal controller unit and installation of the FYLTAs in the downtown area. 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 upgrade to the legacy central traffic
signal control system and more advanced intersection traffic signal controllers will
allow greater operation flexibility and improved transportation system efficiency.

PROJECT #8: BNSF Railway Company Railroad Quiet Zone
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Establish a railroad quiet zone for the BNSF Railway Company
mainline tracks through the City. The grade crossings to be
included in the quiet zone are: South 259th Street, East Willis
Street (State Route 516), East Titus Street, East Gowe Street,
East Meeker Street, East Smith Street, East James Street, and
South 212th Street.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $135,000
Right of Way Acquisition ........ $49,000
Construction .................. $1,754,000
TOTAL .......................... $1,938,000
Secured Funding .............. $1,938,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Business and Occupation Tax), Washington
Utilities and Transportation Commission
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Locomotive engineers begin sounding the train-
mounted horn approximately one quarter mile from an at-grade highway/railroad
crossing. Train horns are an effective warning of a train approaching grade crossings,
but they expose the local community to significant noise. Reducing that noise through
a quiet zone will improve the quality of life for those living and working closest to the
railroad facilities and could eliminate a barrier to attracting new businesses and
residents.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:Current frequent service along this corridor includes route
180 (Southeast Auburn to Kent Station to Sea-Tac Airport to Burien
Transit Center) and route 169 (Kent Station to Renton Transit
Center). The corridor currently has 31 northbound and 29
southbound transit stops serving these two routes. This corridor
currently has deficiencies in bus stop facilities as well as areas with
poor pedestrian and bicycle access to transit. All bus zones identified
for Rapid Ride service will require upgraded facilities (e.g., new
RapidRide shelters and amenities) to align with King County Metro’s
Rapid Ride branding and standards. The City will work with King
County Metro to identify bus zone locations for improvements.

PROJECT #14: Meeker Frontage Improvements and Midblock
Crossing at the Driving Range
Driving range frontage from the Colony Park Apartments
driveway to Russell Road
YEAR: 2020
DESCRIPTION: Complete a missing link in Meet Me on Meeker improvements by
constructing new sidewalk and multimodal pathway along city-
owned driving range frontage on the south side of Meeker Street.
The project will also install a raised crosswalk and median islands
at the midblock pedestrian crossing between the driving range
and golf course, remove the existing pedestrian traffic signal and
install a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) consistent with
the Meet Me on Meeker standards. The project will include
construction of concrete curbs, gutters, multimodal path, a
sidewalk, street lighting, median islands, storm drainage,
landscaping, utilities and appurtenances.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $515,000
Right of Way Acquisition ...... $110,000
Construction .................. $2,825,000
TOTAL .......................... $3,450,000
Secured Funding ................. $250,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Economic and Community Development
Placemaking Fund, Business and Occupation Tax), Puget Sound Regional Council
Grants (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality /Non-Motorized Set Aside),
Washington State Transportation Improvement Board Complete Streets Award
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Private development on the former Par-3 property
(“Marquee on Meeker”) has constructed the Meet Me on Meeker promenade along
approximately 1,200 feet of frontage west of the city-owned driving range. This
project provides approximately 700 feet of promenade connection between Russell
Road and the eastern edge of the Marquee on Meeker project This will improve non-
motorized travelers’ comfort, aesthetics, and economic development along this
important commercial corridor. This project will remove the existing traffic signal
and install a raised crosswalk with median islands which improves drivers’ view of
crossing pedestrian traffic. A rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) will be
installed to improve drivers’ awareness of crossing pedestrians.

the existing road to 1.5 feet above FEMA flood elevation and
include a full width overlay, concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
street lighting, storm drainage, and channelization. This project
must be assessed with respect to the complete streets
requirements. The Transportation Master Plan calls for “possible
re-striping” for bicycle lanes on this segment of 76th Avenue

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 76th Avenue South floods several times per year,
resulting in road closures. The roadway is located in the heart of the City’s
Industrial zoning area and has significant heavy truck traffic. Large industrial and
manufacturing companies and a large solid waste company that serves several
adjacent jurisdictions are located in the immediate vicinity of the project. Road
closures negatively impact these businesses and create congestion in other parts of
the City as a result of traffic detours around the closure. Improving the road to
current standards will also improve traffic flow on 76th Avenue South.

PROJECT #25: Panther Lake Signal System Integration
YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: This project includes extension of the fiber optic communications
network to traffic signals in the Panther Lake area to allow remote
monitoring, management and coordination. The project also
includes replacement of the existing traffic signal controllers allow
integration with the new central traffic signal control system and
operating Flashing Yellow Left Turn Arrows (FYLTA).
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ......... $50,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $350,000
TOTAL ............................. $400,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The traffic signals in the Panther Lake area are not
connected to the City’s new central traffic signal control system; hence, they cannot
be remotely monitored or managed from the City’s Traffic Management Center. The
existing traffic signal controllers are not capable of operating FYLTA for permissive
left turn movements. It has been demonstrated that this type of signal display is
much more readily understood by motorists and results in reduced collision rates
involving vehicles turning left during permissive left turn signal phases. The
integration of these signals into the City’s signal system will allow operation flexibility
and improved transportation system efficiency.

PROJECT #27: Kent Transit Center
Access, Mobility and Safety Improvements
YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: This project will create an eastbound right-turn lane on East
James Street to Railroad Avenue North extending from 1st Avenue
North to Railroad Avenue North. This project will also extend the
eastbound bicycle facility on James Street that currently
terminates approaching the 1st Avenue North intersection. In
addition, improved pedestrian facilities are planned along the
north and south sides of East James Street, improving mobility
and safety for these users.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ....... $713,000
Equipment ......................... $150,000
Construction ................... $2,137,000
TOTAL .......................... $3,000,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): King County METRO, Washington State Department of
Transportation Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will improve mobility for transit vehicles,
bicyclists, and pedestrians accessing the Kent Transit Center (Kent Station) via East
James Street. Kent Station serves as a vital transportation hub for the south King
County. In addition to Sound Transit (ST) Sounder service, a King County METRO or
ST bus accesses the transit center once per minute during the peak periods. By 2040,
a bus will access the transit center every 30 seconds during peak periods. In addition,
voter approved ST 3 will increase Sounder service. East James Street in the vicinity
of Kent Station has high congestion and low mobility during peak periods. Eastbound
James Street approaching Central Avenue has large queues and poor level of service.
East James Street has two eastbound travel lanes through the BNSF rail crossing. A
short eastbound left and right turn lane approaching Central Avenue starts at Railroad
Avenue North. Existing geometrics on East James Street west of Railroad Avenue
North are constrained by the close proximity of the Washington Cold Storage Inc.
building. Improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities in this area are needed.

PROJECT #28: Central Avenue
Traffic Signal Communication
YEAR: 2021
DESCRIPTION: The project will implement the communication connection
between the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) rail
corridor and the traffic signals along Central Avenue to allow area
signals the ability to adjust signal timing in anticipation of, during,
and after train events. In addition, signals along the Central
Avenue corridor, from South 259th Street through South 212th
Street, will be upgraded to use this interconnection. Signal
upgrades may utilize newer technology such as adaptive signal
control systems, transit signal priority, and other intelligent
transportation systems applications in traffic signal control.
Additional signals adjacent to at-grade rail crossings may also be
upgraded to take advantage of the new communication
connections.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering .... $1,188,000
Equipment ......................... $250,000
Construction ................... $3,562,000
TOTAL .......................... $5,000,000
Secured Funding ........................... $0
FUNDING SOURCE(S): King County METRO, Washington State Department of
Transportation’s Regional Mobility Grant
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This project will improve mobility for transit vehicles
and motorists in the vicinity of the Kent Transit Center along the Central Avenue
corridor, from South 259th Street through South 212th Street. A King County METRO
or Sound Transit bus accesses the transit center once per minute during the peak
periods. By 2040, a bus will access this regional transit center every 30 seconds
during peak periods. Downtown Kent, along the Central Avenue corridor, experiences
poor level of service due to heavy congestion affecting movements from multiple
directions. There are more than 60 daily trains on the BNSF corridor adjacent to
Central Avenue. With no downtown grade-separated rail crossings, the volume of
daily rail crossing events contributes to the congested conditions. Today, the traffic
signal system cannot communicate signal timing modifications to manage changes in
traffic patterns during or after a train event.

project widens South 224th Street to three lanes and include full-
width paving; concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks; five-foot
paved shoulders; street lighting; storm drainage; landscaping;
utilities and channelization. This project must be assessed with
respect to the complete streets requirements.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate
the current or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent’s East Hill and the
Green River Valley floor. In order to meet transportation concurrency requirements
of the Growth Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is required.
Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and James/Southeast 240th Streets are
at or over capacity. Because of existing development and topographic constraints, it
is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and South 208th/212th
Street corridors enough to provide the additional east-west capacity needed to
accommodate forecast traffic volumes.

SUBJECT: Information Only/TeamUp2CleanUp – Saturday, May 4 and
Recycling Events Update
SUMMARY:
Spring TeamUp2CleanUp is scheduled for Saturday, May 4th 9:00 a.m. to noon
on the East Hill at the Golden Steer Restaurant and 8:00 a.m. to noon downtown at
Kherson Park. We are once again partnering with the Kent Downtown Partnership,
Kent Station, The Doorman Services, Republic Services, the Golden Steer
Restaurant and the Kent Lions.
Registered volunteers are provided gloves, garbage bags, litter grabbers and safety
vests and are encouraged to pick up litter in and around our community including
parks, streets, trails and neighborhoods. This is a great opportunity for high school
students to earn school required community service hours.
The Spring Recycling Collection Event was held from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
Saturday, March 9 at Hogan Park. 963 vehicles showed up and disposed of over
121,000 pounds of materials all for free thanks to our grants from King County and
the Department of Ecology. Items collected included tires, mattresses, appliances,
cardboard, batteries, shredding, electronics, reusable household goods, porcelain,
Styrofoam and scrap metal.
Our next event is from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 1 at our new
location on the East Hill, Meridian Middle School located at 23480 120th Ave SE.

teachers and parent chaperones participated at this our 20th year of hosting this
environmental education event.
Thanks to our 47 presenters – 20 of which were our very own enthusiastic in-house
staffers. Excellent feedback was received about the event by both teachers and
presenters. Topics presented included water quality protection and conservation,
salmon and wildlife habitat protection, and waste reduction and recycling.

SUBJECT: Information Only/Storm Cleanup
SUMMARY: Winter weather hit the Kent area with a vengeance this past February.
Crews worked day and night for over a week to remove snow and ice from our
roads. During this snow event, crews spread over 1.5 million pounds of sand on our
arterial streets. Sand is an important part of our snow fight strategy and very
helpful to gain traction during these types of events. Unfortunately, after the snow
and ice melts away, we are left with the unsightly mess of the left-over sand and
other road debris.
It is ecologically important to remove as much sand from our streets and gutters
before it migrates into our storm drains and into our waterways.
For the past several weeks, crews from Street and Storm Utilities department have
been working to clean sand off our sidewalks, streets and drains.

SUBJECT: Information Only/Quiet Zone Update
SUMMARY:
Union Pacific Railroad
Staff are working with the Washington State Department of Transportation for the
ability to include Willis St (SR 516) in the UPRR quiet zone. SR 516 is a limited
access highway at the UPRR crossing and the state owns and controls the highway.
We are pursuing two options. The first is to have this section of SR 516 changed
from limited access to managed access which would give the City operational
control of the crossing. The second is a maintenance agreement for the signs and
pavement marking related to the railroad crossing and asking WSDOT for a letter of
“no issue” with the establishment of the quiet zone.
BNSF Railway
The application to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to establish a quiet
zone on the BNSF mainline was submitted on April 3, 2019. We are in the 60-day
comment period where the railroads (BNSF, Sound Transit, and Amtrak), the
Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission can submit comments related to our application before
the FRA makes a determination.

SUMMARY: Residents and businesses will see a small rate increase on their
garbage bills starting on June 1. In accordance with the City’s solid waste contract
authorized in 2015, the rates are allowed to adjust annually for inflation, based on
three standardized Department of Labor Puget Sound price indices.
Residential customers currently paying $19.17 for a 32-gallon garbage cart, which
includes 96-gallon recycling and yard waste bins, will pay $19.25 before taxes.
