CITY OF AUBUIZN AGREEMENT
~ FOR COll1SiJLTING SElaVICES
• Washington State University Institute for Sustainable Design
% Integrated Design Ezperience (IDeX)
THIS AGREEMENT made and. entered into on this _ day of
2010, by and between the City of Auburn, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington,
("City") and Washington State University, an agency of the State of Washington, through its
Institute for Susta.inable Design ("WSU.")
RECITALS:
1. The overall objective of the project is to create a detailed engineering, architectural
and biological plan for sustainable development in the 130 acre zoned Auburn Environmental %
Park District (AEPD). The goal of this development is to create the environment necessary to
economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD, enhancing the value of the
current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs in the District.
2. The City owns property within City limits known as the Auburn Environmental Park.
Ttie area surrounding the park is regulated by the 'City's zoning and land use regulations
(Chapter 18.33 of the Auburn City Code) as the Environmental Pazk District. The purpose of the
Environmental Park District regulations are as follows:
The environmental pazk district is intended to a11ow uses in proximity to the Auburn
environmental pazk that benefit from that location and will complement the park and
, its environmental focus. Uses allowed in this zone will focus upon medical, biotech
and "green" technologies including energy conservation, engineering, water quality
and similaz uses. Other uses complementary to and supporting these uses are also
allowed. Incorporation of sustainable design and green building practices will be a
primary aspect of this zone. The construction of leadership in ` energy and
environmental design (LEED) and built green certified buildings is encouraged and
built green will be required for mulfiple-family dwellings. The city recognizes that
much of the property in this zone was developed under earlier standards, so the goals
of the district will be realized over a period of time as properties aze redeveloped.1
3. The Washington State Unieersity Institute for Sustainable Design is responding to the
challenge of creating a sustainable future in the following ways:
e Education. Northwest industries and governments are leaders in the sustainability
, movement. Through the Institute for Sustainable Design ("Institute"), WSU will
~ ACC 1833.010.
Page 1 of 16
contribute by training students in best sustainability practices. Concepts in sustainability
are being introduced throughout engineering and architecture-curricula, and the institute
hopes to integrate sustainable design into senior capstone design projects.
• Development of New Knowledge. The Institute for Sustainable Design brings together
faculty, undergra.duate and graduate students, design professionals, manufacturers, and
suppliers in a stimulating, interactive environment that will serve as a model for how
academia and industry can solve societal problems of sustainability. The Institute builds
on existirig strengths in renewable building materials discovery and sustainable building
design, particularly through the world-renowned work of the Wood Materials and
Engineering Laboratory (WMEL).
• Interaction Across Discipdines. The WSU College of Engineering and Architecture is
unique. in having azchitecture, construction management, and engineering programs
within one college. T'he Institute provides the opportunity for an integrated approach that
will be necessary to tackle the multi-faceted challenge of sustainability and energy .
efficiency.
! • Outreach. The Institute will serve as a resource for azchitecture, engineering and
construction firms throughout the country, as well as well as for building regulatory
organizations. At the institute, xesearchers will work with firms and contractors to build
and test mockups of building systems
4. The City wishes to update its planning documents in order to create a detailed
engineering, architectural and biological plan for sustainable development in the 130 acre zoned
Auburn Environmental Park District (AEPD). The goal of this development is to create the
enviroiunent necessary to economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD,
enhancing. the value of tlie current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs
in the District.
5. The Parties agree that the City's desire to update its plans for the District closely match

Objectives for the Washington State University Integrated Design Experience (IDeX) Project in
the Auburn Environmental Pazk District Area
Auburn, Washington, is a city of more than 67,000 citizens, 90% residing in King County and
10% in Pierce County, located in the I-5 comdor south of Seattle. Sited along Mill Creek with a
major wetlands area within walking distance of downtown, it represents the boundary of intense
development moving into the southem Puget Sound area. The community is challenged with
turning these unique geographical attxibutes into an asset for community identity while meeting
the economic and regulatory needs of the city.
The overall objective of the project is to create a detailed engineering, architectural and
biological plan for sustainable development in the 130 acre zoned Auburn Environmental Pazk
District (AEPD). The goal of this development is to create the environment necessary to
economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD, enhancing the value of the
current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs in the District.
Key to this development is a vision for stormwater management systems that meet community
needs wlule enhancing the environmental and economic value of the AEPD. The primary
deliverable will be a"20% design" of a stormwater management system that includes water
quality treatment and detention of 100-yeaz storm events using low impact development (L,ID)
methodologies. This green infrastructure must not only manage water generated in the AEPD
proper, but also manage water originating in the adjacent downtown azea where the current storm
~ drainage in inadequate. These challenges are heightened by the new 2010 NPDES2 (National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System for phase 2 cities) as well as new development that is
being esta.blished.
. A recent ruling by the Washington Water Commission dictates the use of LID approaches. These
may'include new and emerging technologies such as (a) pervious pavement streets with
- sophisticated sub-base materials that detain, treat and transport stormwater, (b) building
foundations that provide multiple functions, including stormwater management, (c) building
strategies that re-use rainwater, (d) aquifer re-charge with treated stormwater, (e)'beneficial discharge of stormwater to the sensiti've wetland areas of the Auburn Envirorimental Park (AEP)
located adjacent to the District, and (f) enhanced fish ha.bitat considerations for Mill Creek that
flows through a new phase 2 AEP azea lying west of State Route 167.
The architectural component of this project will focus on "green retro-fit" of existing
commercial buildings in the District. In addition, a new high density, transit-oraented
residential community with limited existing commercial zoning in the area south of Main Street
and east of the District will be included in the plan. All buildings will feature "green aesthetics"
similar to the ideas created in Spring 2010 by WSU junior year architecture students.
Landscape architecture science will be employed to propose passive recreational use of the
AEP with walking paths, bird viewing opportunities, education areas and natural resource
research projects. The AEPD will have planned sustainable landscaping that is to the greatest
extent possible, natural.
Page 12 of 16
Transportation planning will emphasize pedestrians, bikes, shazed vehicles, commuter rail,
transit and maximizing use of the adjacent Interurban Trail that connects Seattle and Tacoma.
State Route 167, which bi-sects the AEP, can be utilized as a laboratory for understanding broad-
based transportation pollution issues (stormwater, air, noise and visual) when adjacent to
sensitive azeas. Depending on resource availability, pollution aspects beyond stormwater may be
deferred. The Union Pacific Railroad on the east boundary of the District offers additional
opportunities for understanding transportation-related pollution:
Technical businesses and design firms will be intimately involved in the project, for example
engineering firms such as Pazametrix, GeoEngineers, Skillings and GHD. In most cases tlieir
involvement will be directed to mentoring student design teams, providing practical experience
and known solutions as well as providing lectures in pertinent areas of expertise:
In addition to the key deliverable, the stormwater 20% design, in keeping with the integrated
design nature of IDeX, the entire infrastructure of the 130 acre AEPD will be outlined in
light of the unique needs of green businesses. Examples of these unique needs include broadband
communications, renewable energy generation, shazed geothermal heating/cooling, "smart"
technologies to enhance building and infrastructure operations, streets, sidewalks and trail
designs. This outline level will include key calculations and conceptual designs. .
Potential changes in City zoning codes that have a strong impact on economic feasibility of
development, such as FAR (Floor Area Ratio, i.e. floor square footage divided by building site
square footage) and building height, will be considered in light of off-setting sustainability benefits.
Business and Economic Aspects (BEA) will be a minor, but important component of the IDeX
project. Dr. Paul Smith, Penn Sta.te University, will consult with the team to establish protocols
for BEA, including a definition of the "customers" who will populate the AEPD.
Current efforts by the City of Auburn to establish an "incubator" operation that will nurture
start-up green businesses through the first few years of their existence, will be coordinated with
the IDeX project.
Dr. Michael Wolcott, Director of the WSU Institute for Sustairiable Design, and Rich Wagner, Auburn City Councilman, will be the key coordination contacts for the project. Several WSU
professors, approximately 20 students, both seniors and graduate students, will be involved, in
many cases on-site in Auburn. City staff limited support will be required to provide and explain
existing documents related to the AEPD, such as engineering and development code standards
and comprehensive storm drainage plan details.
The project will start with planning in June 2010, student involvement beginning in August and
will be complete in May 2011. Formal presentations will be made to the Mayor, City Council
and appropriate staff in February and May 2011. Fina1 documentation will be primarily in
electronic form.
The attached figure entitled "Auburn Environmental Park District (AEPD) location for the
Integrated Design Experience (IDex) Class" shows the general azea of the project.

CITY OF AUBURN AGItEEMENT
FOR CONSULTIIlTG SERVICES
Was_hington State University In"stitute for Sustainable Design
Integrated Design Ezperience (II)eX-)
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into on this ~1 "&day of AwAak
2010, by and between the City of Auburn, a municipal corporation of the State ot Washington,
("City") and Washington State University, an agency of the State of Washington, through its
Institute for Sustainable Design ("WSU.")
RECITALS:
1. The overall objective of the project is to create a detailed engineering, architectural
and biological plan for sustainable development in the 130 acre zoned Auburn Environmental
Park District (AEPD). The goal of this deyelopment is to create the environment necessary. to
economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD, enhancing the value of the
current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs in the District.
2. The City owns property within City limits known as the Auburn Environmental Park.
Tlie area `surrounding the park is regulated by the City's zoning and land use regulations ,
(Chapter 18.33 of the.Auburn City Code) as the Environmental Park District. The purpose of the
Environmental Pazk District regulations are as follows:
T'he environmental park district is intended to allow uses in proximity to the Auburn
environmental pazk that benefit from that location and will complement the park and
its environmental focus. Uses allowed in this zone will focus upon medical, biotech
. and "green" technologies including energy conservation, engineering, water quality
and similar uses. Other uses. complementary to and supporting these uses aze also
allowed. Incorporation of sustainable design and green building practices will be a
priYnary aspect of this zone. T'he construction of . leadership in energy and
envirorimental design (LEED) and built green certified buildings is encouraged and
built green will be required for multiple-family dwellings. The city recognizes that
mitch of the property in this zone was developed under earlier standards, so the goals
of the district will be realized over a period of time as properties aze redeveloped.l
3. The Washington State University Institute for Sustaina.ble Design is responding to the
challenge of creating a sustainable future in the following ways:
• Education. Northwest industries and govemments are leaders in the sustainability
movement. Through the Institute for Sustaina.ble Design ("Institute"), WSU will
contribute by training student"s in best sustainability practices. Concepts in sustainability
'ACC 18.33.010.
Page 1 of 16
are being introduced throughout engineering and azchitecture curricula, and the institute
hopes to integrate sustainable design into senior capstone design projects.
• Development of New Knowledge. The Institute for Sustaina.ble Design brings together
faculty, undergradua.te and graduate students, design professionals, manufacturers, and
suppliers in a stimulating, interactive environment that will serve as a model for how
academia and industry can solve societal problems of sustainability. The Institute builds
on existing strengths in renewable building materials discovery and sustainable building
design, particulazly through, tlie world-renowned work of the Wood Materials and
Engineering Laboratory (WMEL).
• Interaction Across Disciplines. The WSU College of Engineering and Architecture is '
unique in having architecture, construction management, and engineering programs
within one college. The Institute provides the opporiunity for an integrated approach that
_ will be necessary to tackle the multi-faceted challenge of 'sustainability and energy
. efficiency.
• Outreach. The Institute will serve as a resource for architecture; engineering and
construction firms throughout the country, as well as well as for building regulatory
organizations. At the institute, researchers will work with firms and contractors to build
and test mockups of building systems
4. The City wishes to update its planning documents in order to create a detailed
engineering, architectural and biological plan for sustaina.ble development in the 130 acre zoned
Auburn Environmental Fark District (AEPD). T'he goal of this development is to create the
environment necessary to economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD, . '
enhancing the value of the current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs ,
'in the District.
5. The Parties agree that the City's desire to update its plans for the District closely match
WSU's mission, and that entering into a contract with WSU to develop upda.tes for the City is in -
the best interests of the Parties. _

Objectives for the Washington State Uniyersity Integrated Design Experience (IDeX) Project in
the Auburn Environmental Pazk District Area
Auburn, Washington, is a city of more than 67,000 citizens, 90% residing in King County and
10% in Pierce County, located in the I-5 corridor south of Seattle. Sited along Mill Creek with a
major wetlands area within walking distance of downtown, it represents the boundary of intense
development moving into the southern Puget Sound area. The community is challenged with
turning these unique geographical attributes;into an asset for community identity while meeting
the economic and regulatory needs of the city. ,
The overall objective of the project is to create a detailed engineering, architectural and
biological plan for sustainable development in the 130 acre zoned Auburn Environmental Park
District (AEPD). The goal of this development is to create the environment necessary to
economically attract "green" businesses to locate in the AEPD, enhancing the value of the
current properties while substantially growing high value green jobs in the District.
Key to tlus development is a vision for stormwater management systems that meet community
needs while enhancing the environmental and economic value of the AEPD. 'I'he primary
` deliverable will be a"20% design" of a stormwater management system that includes water
quaIity treahnent and detention of i 00-year storm events using low impact development (LID)
methodologies. This green infrastructure must not only manage water generated in the AEPD
proper, but a1'so manage water originating in the adjacent downtown azea where the current storm
drainage in inadequate. These challenges are heightened by the new 2010 NPDES2 (National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System for phase 2 cities) as well as new development that is
being established.
A xecent ruling by the Washington Water Commission dictates the use of LID approaches. T'hese
may include new and emerging teehnologies such as (a) pervious pavement streets with
sophisticated sub-base materials that detain, treat and transport stormwater, (b) building
~ foundations that provide multiple functions, including stormwater management, (c) building
strategies that re-use rainwater, (d) aquifer re-charge with treated stormwater, (e) beneficial
discharge of stormwater to the sensitive wetland areas of the Auburn Environmental Pazk (AEP)
located adjacent to the District, and (fl enhanced fish habitat considerations for Mill Creek that
flows through a new phase 2 AEP area lying west of State Route 167.
The azchitectural component of this project will focus on "green retro-fit" of existing
commercial buildings in the District. In addition, a new high density, transit-oriented
residential community with limited existing commercial zoning in the area south of Main Street
and east of the District will be included in the plan. All buildings will feature "green aesthetics"
similar to the ideas created in Spring 2010 by WSU junior yeaz architecture students.
Landscape architecture science will be employed to propose passive recreational use of the
AEP with walking paths, bird viewing opportunities, education areas and natural_ resource
_ research projects. The AEPD will have planned sustainable landscaping that is to the greatest
extent possible, natural.
Page 12 of 16
Transportation planning will emphasize pedestrians, bikes, shared vehicles, commuter rail,
transit and maximizing use of the adjacent Interurban Trail that connects Seattle and Tacoma.
State Route 167, which bi-sects the AEP, can be utilized as a laboratory for understa.nding broad-
based transportation pollution issues (stormwater, air, noise and visual).when adjacent to
sensitive areas. Depending on resource availability, pollution aspects beyond stormwater may be
deferred. Tlie Union Pacific Railroad on the east boundaty of the District offers additional
;
opportunities for understanding transportation-related pollution.
Technical businesses and design frms will be intimately involved in the project, for example
engineering firms such as Parametrix, GeoEngineers, Skillings and GHD. In most cases their
involvement will_be directed to mentoring student design teams, providing practical experience
and known solutions as well as providing lectures in pertinent azeas of expertise.
In addition to the key deliverable, the stormwater 20% design, in keeping with the integrated
design nature of IDeX, the entire infrastructure of the 130 acre AEPD will be outlined in
light of the unique needs of green businesses. Examples of these unique needs include broadband
communications, renewable energy generation, shared geothermal heating/cooling, "smart"
technologies to enhance building and infrastructure operations, streets, sidewalks and trail
designs. This outline level will include key calculations and conceptual designs.
Potential changes in City zoning codes that have a strong impact on economic feasibility of
development, such as FAR (Floor Area Ratio, i.e. floor square footage divided by building site
square footage) and building height, will be considered in light of off-setting sustaina.bility
benefits.
Business and Economic Aspects (BEA) will be a minor, but important component of the IDeX
- project. Dr. Paul Smith, Penn StateUniversity, will consult with the team to establish protocols
for BEA; including a definition of the "customers" who will populate the AEPD.
Current efforts by the City of Auburn to esta.blish an "incubator" operation that will nurture
starf=up green businesses through the first few years of their existence, will be coordina.ted with
the IDeX project.
Dr. Michael Wolcott, Director of the WSU Institute for Sustainable Design, and Rich Wagner,
Auburn City Councilman, will be the lcey coordination contacts for the project. Several WSU
professors, approximately 20 students, both seniors and graduate students, will be involved, in
many cases on-site in Auburn. City staff limited support will be required to provide and explain
existing documents related to the AEPD, such as engineering and development code standards
and comprehensive storm drainage plan details.
T'he project will start with planning in June 2010, student involvement beginning in August and
will be complete in May 2011. Formal presentations will be made to the Mayor, City Council
and appropriate staff in Februa.ry and May 2011. Fina1 documentation will be "primarily in
electronic form. _
The attached figure entitled "Auburn Environmental Park District (AEPD) location for the
Integrated Design Experience (IDex) Class" shows the general azea of the project.

A legal agreement between the City of Auburri and Washington Sta.te University will be
executed prior to August 1, 2010, referencing these objectives. Included in that agreement will
be a payment to. WSU by Auburn in the amount of $95,000, as well as typical agreement terms.
