7. Information Only/Fire Capacity Charges
Sean Bauer, Water System Manager and Paul Scott, PW Finance Manager gave an
informative PowerPoint presentation on Fire System Charges. The following information was
shared:
January 2017 - New water rates included dedicated fireline charges
Staff went over the Fire System Charge Methodology

Dedicated Fire Line Cost by Size of Fire Line
Water Systems are Governed by WAC 246-290
Overhead Map of Kent’s Water Supply
Photographs of various facilities where the money will be spent
50% of water is designated for fire – flow of 1,500 to 4,500 gal. per minute
We have 167 miles of aging pipe in our system
The question was asked, why we didn’t charge for this in the past. Bauer said that the
residential customers subsidized it. Staff will investigate the possibility of some fire lines
being oversized and work on a solution to work with customers with unintended
consequences of putting in a fire line that was bigger than needed.

No Motion Required/Information Only
10. Information Only/2018-2023 Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Program
Lacey Jane Wolfe, Senior Transportation Planner updated the committee regarding
recommendations for updating the six-year transportation improvement program (TIP). Wolfe
noted that the TIP describes street, bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic signal improvements, as
well as planning efforts and preservation projects. In order to be included in the TIP, projects
must either be funded or have a reasonable expectation of being funded.
Several projects have been completed since the existing TIP was adopted in June 2016.
Those projects can now be removed from the TIP. Staff also identified three additional
projects that have a reasonable expectation of funding and may be added to the TIP. The
first project is to construct a right-in/right-out intersection at the south end of Naden Avenue
at Willis Street. The second project is a local access street from this proposed intersection of
Naden Avenue and Willis Street. The third project is improvements to South 248th Street,
from 104th Avenue Southeast to 116th Avenue Southeast.
In 2016, Kent staff prioritized all capital projects using these criteria:
Preservation of existing facilities
Neighborhoods
Priority areas
Health and safety

together. Peterson has been on the phone with local jurisdictions regarding issues they may
be experiencing with the crossing arms or idling trains. Peterson mentioned several events
that took place since the last Public Works Committee meeting.
Staff is working on implementing the design and installation of large signs informing those
stuck in front of the tracks on who to call. At the request of committee members staff will
forward logs that have been kept by residents and staff on a monthly basis regarding the
number of idling trains.
Information Only/No Motion Required
12. Information Only/Quiet Zone Update
Chad Bieren, P.E., Deputy Director / City Engineer noted that staff will meet with Union
Pacific (UP) regarding the details of the constant warning at Meeker & Smith Street.
In regards to Burlington Northern (BN) we have had some discussions with them, but most of
the discussions have been centered on the crossing arms. We continue to get questions from
citizens about the increasing number of crossing arms that are down for long periods of time
with no trains in site.
LaPorte was directed by the Mayor to draft a letter that will be sent to the FRA regarding
preemptive closures in Kent. Higgins would like to see the radio station 1610AM used as
another tool to notify citizens.
North Park idling trains Bieren noted that this continues to be an issue and staff will continue
to request that the trains move further North of SR 167.
Information Only/No Motion Required

ITEM 5: Consultant Agreement with Gray & Osborn, Inc. for Cambridge
Reservoir Improvements - Recommend
Summary: The Cambridge reservoir is located south of the intersection of South
264th Street and Military Road on the West Hill. Originally constructed in 1959, it is
a 300,000 gallon elevated tank that provides water storage for Kent’s West Hill
water service area. Through routine inspections, staff noted the coating system on
the exterior surface is approaching the end of its expected life.
Gray & Osborn was retained in 2015 to perform a more extensive inspection and
testing of the tanks coating applications. Their inspection and testing confirmed the
tank coating system had reached the end of its life and is in need of re-painting.
While the tank is ‘off-line’ for re-coating, additional improvements will be made
including the installation of improved fall protection systems.
During the course of construction, it will be necessary to purchase water from
Highline Water District through Kent’s intertie with Highline.
Exhibit: Consultant Contract
Budget Impact: This project was included in the 2017 Water Utility Budget.
Motion: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
Consultant Services Agreement with Gray & Osborn, Inc. to produce bid
documents for the Cambridge Reservoir Improvement Project in the
amount of $43,400, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the
City Attorney and Public Works Director.

Dear Mr. Almaroof:
As requested, rve are providing this scope of work for coating improvements for the

intends to recoat the interior and exterior of the Cambridge Reservoir. Gray & Osbome
provided the City with a coating assessment memorandum in July 2015 that
recommended exterior and interior coating replacement. A paint sample of the exterior
taken at that time showed that the exterior coating contains lead, likely from lead primer
It is assumed that the interior coating also contains lead.
In addition to recoating, the City would also like to upgrade the site access and safety
features of the reservoir inciuding the f'ollowing items:
Replacement of the existing vent with a new vent structnre similar to the
ó40 Reservoir.
Replacement of the existing bar safety climb system with a City standard
cable system for both the lower and upper ladders.
Installation of a platform landing at the top of the access ladder to allow
easier access to the cafwalk from the lower ladder.
Installation of catwalk platforms to allow wider clearance and access
around the overflow pipe and tank leg structures.
Replacement of the catwalk guardrail with a higher guardrail system with

ITEM 6: South 212th Way Overlay – Recommend
SUMMARY: Council previously authorized $1,000,000 for the repair at the 212th
Street / 72nd Avenue intersection. The intersection will be repaired/replaced with
concrete paving. The intersection deterioration and repair limits have grown slightly
due to our difficult weather and heavy truck usage. Accordingly, staff
recommendation is to add $300,000.00 for a total of $1,300,000.00 to the budget
for this intersection repair.
This past winter, heavy rainfall caused significant acceleration of pavement surface
deterioration of the South 212th Way/ South 208th Street corridor. The corridor
received more than a hundred pothole repairs this winter, with a high concentration
of pothole repairs located on the hill climb lanes. Significant deterioration of
pavement surface is evident along the section of the corridor starting from the east
side of SR 167 overpass bridge to 100th Avenue S.
EXHIBIT: PowerPoint Presentation
BUDGET IMPACT: Sufficient funding is available from 2017 B&O tax collections to
complete the work this year.
Motion: Move to recommend Operations Committee authorize the addition
of $1.4 million out of @017 B & O revenues for the 212th Street & 72nd
Avenue Intersection repair and the South 212th Way Overlay Project
easterly of SR 167 to be utilized this year.

ITEM 7: Schedule 74 Design Agreement with Puget Sound Energy for
Undergrounding S 218th Street Project - Recommend
SUMMARY: The 218th Street improvements consist of the widening of 88th Avenue
South and South 218th Street to include a turn lane, bicycle lanes, curb, gutter,
sidewalk and planter strips. The work will also include the replacement of the
existing Garrison Creek culvert and the construction of retaining walls. This work is
part of the South 224th Street Extension – 88th Avenue South and 94th Avenue
South.
In order to perform the above described work, existing overhead Puget Sound
Energy (PSE) lines will need to be relocated underground. The first step in that
process is to sign a Schedule 74 Design Agreement with PSE. A Design Agreement
will allow PSE to prepare plans to underground their utilities. The cost of the design
will get carried into the cost of construction once the City follows up with a
Construction Agreement. The estimated cost of the design of the undergrounding
project is $20,000. The actual construction work by PSE will be estimated in this first
design work.
EXHIBIT: Schedule 74 Underground Conversion – Project Design Agreement
BUDGET IMPACT: Undergrounding of power is included in the project budget, and
required by City Ordinance.
Motion: Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Design
Agreement with Puget Sound Energy to develop plans for the under-
grounding of electrical lines and services along S 218th Street, subject to
final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public
Works Director.

11. The parties intend and agree that the Design Work and the Project Plan in its final form shall conform
to the following requirements:
(a) The Project Plan shall, if requested by the Government Entity in its initial Scope of Work, specify
that the Government Entity shall install the ducts and vaults for the Conversion Project; provided
that (i) the parties mutually agree upon and set forth in the Project Plan (A) the costs of such
installation work to be included in the Cost of Conversion, and (B) the specifications and
standards applicable to such installation work, and (ii) such installation work is accomplished by
the Government Entity in accordance with the applicable design and construction specifications
provided by the Company and set forth in the Project Plan.
(b) Each estimate of the costs to be incurred by a party shall, at a minimum, be broken down by
(i) the design and engineering costs, (ii) property and related costs, including any costs of
obtaining operating rights, and (iii) construction costs, including and listing separately inspection,
labor, materials, and equipment.
(c) All facilities of the Company installed as part of the Conversion Project shall be located, and all
related property and operating rights shall be obtained, in the manner set forth in the applicable
provisions of Schedule 74. The Project Plan shall describe in detail the location of such facilities,
any related property and operating rights required to be obtained, and the relative responsibilities

12. Upon request of the Government Entity, and in any event at the times specified in the Design
Schedule, the Company shall provide periodic reports which compare the actual costs of the Design
Work incurred to that point in time to the Design Cost Estimate, as changed or amended in
accordance with paragraph 13, below. Further, if at any time the Company reasonably expects that
the actual cost of the Design Work will exceed the Design Cost Estimate, as changed or amended in
accordance with paragraph 13, below, the Company shall notify the Government Entity immediately.
Upon receipt of the Company’s notice, the Government Entity may, at its option,
(a) notify the Company in writing that this Agreement is terminated; or
(b) request a reasonably detailed explanation supported by documentation (reasonably satisfactory to
the Government Entity) to establish that the actual costs in excess of the Design Cost Estimate
are:

(ii) consistent with the Scope of Work, and
(iii) consistent with sound engineering practices.
If the Government Entity requests an explanation, the Government Entity shall, within ten (10)
business days after receipt of the explanation,
(a) change the Scope of Work in accordance with paragraph 13, below, or
(b) direct the Company to continue with the Design Work without a change in the Scope of Work, but
reserving to the Government Entity the right to dispute the reasonableness of the costs to be paid
the Company under paragraph 14, below, in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures in
paragraph 16, below, or
(c) direct the Company to discontinue performing the Design Work pending resolution, pursuant to
paragraph 16, below, of any dispute regarding the reasonableness of the costs, in which event the
Design Schedule will be adjusted to reflect the delay, or
(d) notify the Company in writing that this Agreement is terminated.
In the event the Government Entity terminates this Agreement or discontinues the performance of the
Design Work under subparagraph (c), above, for more than ninety (90) days, the Government Entity
shall pay the Company for all costs incurred by the Company in its performance of the Design Work

29
Design Agreement, Attachment “A” to Schedule 74, Page 5
South 224th Street and 94th Place South Schedule 74 Conversion (Project Number: 101103886)
incurred by the Company for materials and other items ordered or procured by the Company with the
prior authorization of the Government Entity in order to meet the schedule for the Conversion Project.
The foregoing payment obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
13. (a) Either party may, at any time, by written notice thereof to the other party, request changes to the
Scope of Work (a "Request for Change"). No Request for Change shall be effective and binding
upon the parties unless signed by an authorized representative of each party. If any approved
Request for Change would cause an increase in the cost of, or the time required for, the
performance of any part of the Design Work, an equitable adjustment in the Design Cost Estimate
and the Design Schedule shall be made to reflect such increase. The parties shall negotiate in
good faith with the objective of agreeing in writing on a mutually acceptable equitable adjustment.
If the parties are unable to agree upon the terms of the equitable adjustment, either party may
submit the matter for resolution pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in paragraph 16,
below. Notwithstanding any dispute or delay in reaching agreement or arriving at a mutually
acceptable equitable adjustment, each party shall, if requested by the other party, proceed with
the Design Work in accordance with the Request for Change. Any such request to proceed must
be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the requesting party's reasons for rejecting
the proposed equitable adjustment of the other party.
(b) The Design Cost Estimate and/or the Design Schedule shall be equitably adjusted from time to
time to reflect any change in the costs or time required to perform the Design Work to the extent
such change is caused by: (i) any Force Majeure Event under paragraph 17, below, (ii) the
discovery of any condition within the Conversion Area which affects the scope, cost, schedule or
other aspect of the Design Work and was not known by or disclosed to the affected party prior to
the date of this Agreement, or (iii) any change or inaccuracy in any assumptions regarding the
scope, cost, schedule or other aspect of the Design Work which are expressly identified by the
parties in the final Scope of Work. Upon the request of either party, the parties will negotiate in
good faith with the objective of agreeing in writing on a mutually acceptable equitable adjustment.
If, at any time thereafter, the parties are unable to agree upon the terms of the equitable
adjustment, either party may submit the matter for resolution pursuant to the dispute resolution
provisions in paragraph 16, below.
14. Upon completion of the Design Work (i.e., the date on which the Project Plan is final under
paragraph 10, above, either by mutual agreement of the parties or as established through the dispute
resolution procedures), the Government Entity shall pay the Company all actual, reasonable costs to
the Company for the Design Work (which, if disputed in good faith by the Government Entity, may be
submitted by either party for resolution pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions in paragraph 16,
below), plus any costs incurred by the Company for materials and other items ordered by the
Company with the prior authorization of the Government Entity in order to meet the schedule for the
Conversion Project. If, thereafter, the Construction Agreement is executed by the parties and the
Conversion Project is completed within five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the full amount
of the costs incurred by the Company in its performance of the Design Work shall be included in the
"Shared Company Costs" under the Construction Agreement and any payment of such amounts
under this Agreement shall be credited to the Government Entity in calculating the "Net Amount"
payable under the Construction Agreement.
15. Within sixty (60) business days after completion of the Design Work, the Company shall issue to the
Government Entity an itemized invoice for the amounts payable under this Agreement. Such invoice
shall be in a form mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Government Entity and shall, at a
minimum, itemize the design and engineering costs, including and listing separately inspection, labor,
materials and equipment. In the event the Government Entity does not verify such invoice within ten
(10) business days of receipt, the Government Entity shall provide a written request to the Company
specifying the additional information needed to verify the invoice. The Company will provide, within a
reasonable period after receipt of any request, such documentation and information as the
Government Entity may reasonably request to verify such invoice. The Government Entity shall pay
30
Design Agreement, Attachment “A” to Schedule 74, Page 6
South 224th Street and 94th Place South Schedule 74 Conversion (Project Number: 101103886)

the dispute through other legal means consistent with the terms of this Agreement. All
negotiations pursuant to these procedures for the resolution of disputes shall be confidential and
shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the state and federal
rules of evidence.
(b) Any claim or dispute arising hereunder which relates to the Scope of Work, Design Cost
Estimate, and Design Schedule under paragraph 4, above; the Project Plan under paragraph 10,
above; or any Request for Change (including, without limitation, any associated equitable
adjustment) under paragraph 13, above; and is not resolved by senior management within the
time permitted under paragraph 16(a), above, shall be resolved by arbitration in Seattle,
Washington, under the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. The decision(s) of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon the Parties. All other disputes shall be resolved by litigation in any court or
governmental agency, as applicable, having jurisdiction over the Parties and the dispute.
(c) In connection with any arbitration under this paragraph 16, costs of the arbitrator(s), hearing
rooms and other common costs shall be divided equally among the parties. Each party shall
bear the cost and expense of preparing and presenting its own case (including, but not limited to,
its own attorneys' fees); provided, that, in any arbitration, the arbitrator(s) may require, as part of
his or her decision, reimbursement of all or a portion of the prevailing party's costs and expenses
by the other party.
(d) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the parties shall continue to perform their
respective obligations under this Agreement during the pendency of any dispute.
16. In the event that either party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement by reason beyond its reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"), then that party’s
performance shall be excused during the Force Majeure Event. Force Majeure Events shall include,
without limitation, war; civil disturbance; flood, earthquake or other Act of God; storm, earthquake or
other condition which necessitates the mobilization of the personnel of a party or its contractors to
restore utility service to customers; laws, regulations, rules or orders of any governmental agency;
sabotage; strikes or similar labor disputes involving personnel of a party, its contractors or a third
party; or any failure or delay in the performance by the other party, or a third party who is not an
employee, agent or contractor of the party claiming a Force Majeure Event, in connection with the
Work or this Agreement. Upon removal or termination of the Force Majeure Event, the party claiming
a Force Majeure Event shall promptly perform the affected obligations in an orderly and expedited
manner under this Agreement or procure a substitute for such obligation. The parties shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or minimize any delay caused by a Force Majeure Event.

ITEM 9: Information Only/ 2017 Water Festival - Update
SUMMARY: The annual Water Festival for 3rd - 5th grade students took place on
March 28 & 29, 2017 at Green River College. This was the 18th year that we have
hosted this environmental education event. We had nearly 1,800 students
registered, almost 900 from Kent schools, and a similar amount from Auburn and
Federal Way.
There were 43 presenters – 10 of whom were our enthusiastic in-house staffers,
they provided 353 learning sessions between 10 am - 1:30 pm over the two day
event. Topics presented were water conservation, water quality protection, salmon
& habitat protection, and recycling.
This year we were fortunate to have been awarded an EPA Environmental Education
sub-grant of $5,000. This will help cover the cost of classroom rental, as well as
some of the cost of transporting students to the event.
Educational seminars such as this are required elements of our federal National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and our Water System Plan.
EXHIBIT: None
BUDGET IMPACT: The City will receive $5,000. The other costs are included in our
budget for our NPDES work and our Water System Plan.

ITEM 10: Information Only/2018-2023 Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Program
SUMMARY: Public Works staff will present recommendations for updating the six-year
transportation improvement program (TIP). State law requires each city to update its TIP
annually (RCW 35.77.010). The TIP describes street, bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic signal
improvements, as well as planning efforts and preservation projects. In order to be included
in the TIP, projects must either be funded or have a reasonable expectation of being funded.
The existing TIP was adopted in June 2016. Since then, several projects have been
completed; staff recommends these projects be removed from the TIP. Staff also identified
three additional projects that have a reasonable expectation of funding and may be added to
the TIP. The first project is to construct a right-in/right-out intersection at the south end of
Naden Avenue at Willis Street. The second project is a local access street from the
intersection of Naden Avenue and Willis Street. The third project is improvements to South
248th Street, from 104th Avenue Southeast to 116th Avenue Southeast.
In 2016, Kent staff prioritized all capital projects using these criteria:
Preservation of existing facilities
Neighborhoods
Priority areas
Health and safety
Environmental quality
High leverage value
Plans, regulations, agreements
Strategic initiatives
More work will be done in 2017 on the capital projects prioritization process. Additionally, the
upcoming update to the transportation master plan will inform that process as well as future
TIPs.
The draft project list indicates each project’s prioritization ranking among transportation
projects and also among all city projects (see Figure 1) for the Committee’s information
