B. PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR PROJECT NO. 207A, A STREET NW
EXTENSION (A/B CORRIDOR)
Assistant City Engineer Gaub provided the Committee with a brief overview of the project and
using an aerial map, showed the final lay out for the project. The project will link a new minor
arterial street on A Street NW from 14th Street NW south to 3 Street NW and complete half
street improvements on 10th Street NW/NE between A Street NW and A Street NE.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub stated that all four legs of the 3rd Street NW and A Street NW
intersection will be signalized and is proposed to be controlled as a split phase signal to allow
traffic to move in one direction at a time, in response to questions asked by Chairman Wagner
about the intersection.
Chairman Wagner asked if the parking for the Norplex facility has been negatively affected.
Gaub answered that the area the City purchased includes mostly gravel area that is not being
used significantly for parking. The area is being used for truck turn movements and in the
City’s acquisition process, these impacts were reviewed and mitigation is proposed to relocate
the existing PSE power facilities to accommodate those turn movements within the remainder
of the property. Parking requirements were also evaluated and was found that the remainder of
the property would be able to meet the current parking requirements for the current use of the
property.
Chairman Wagner asked about the construction of sidewalk s and bicycle lanes. Assistant City
Engineer Gaub reported that there will be sidewalks on both sides of the corridor from 3rd Street

NW up to 10th Street and between 10th Street and 14th Street NW there will be sidewalks on one
side to limit the wetland impact. There will be 6 foot wide bicycle lanes from 14th Street NW all
the way to 3rd Street NW, on both sides of the street.
The Committee and staff discussed the use of the new A/B Corridor by cyclists as a north/south
route through the City. Mayor Lewis commented that the corridor will provide a great bicycle
route to downtown and for bicycle commuters trying to reach the north end of the City. Director
Dowdy said that the A/B Corridor is included on the map prepared by the Bicycle Task Force, in
response to a question asked by Chairman Wagner.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked about access to the Post Office. Gaub answered that the driveway to
the Post Office will remain at its present location and will have right in / right out only access.
The existing pedestrian crossing in front of the Post Office will be removed on completion of the
signal which includes a new cross walk on 3rd Street NW. Chairman Wagner asked if
eastbound traffic will be restricted from making left turns into the Post Office. Gaub confirm
that is correct. Mayor Lewis spoke about past talks that the City has had with the Post Office
regarding the relocation of some of their facilities and citizens being able to use their other
parking lot. The Committee and staff discussed how drivers will access the Post Office parking
lot. Chairman Wagner commented on the streets near the Post Office being narrow and the
possibility of restricting parking on those streets. Chairman Wagner suggested staff look in to
relocating the current Post Office parking. Mayor Lewis agreed that it would be beneficial to
meet with the Post Office about parking. Mayor Lewis said that he will be having a series of
meetings with the U.S. Postal Service.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub reviewed the budget status sheet and spoke about the donation
of the Right-of-Way and roadway improvements by the Mohawk Plastics development, in
response to questions asked by Vice-Chair Peloza.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub explained that another part of the project is the construction of a
noise wall. Gaub distributed examples of what the proposed wall, Acoutsa Wall, will look like to
the Committee. The wall is a recycled product made of a plastic material filled with ground
rubber tire. Gaub stated that this type of wall helps reduce noise better than wood or concrete
and is more narrow causing less of an impact on the surrounding property and sidewalk widths.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub said that the wall has the appearance of wood plank and will be
two colors. In response to a question by Chairman Wagner, Gaub explained that the chosen
noise wall can reduce noise between 7 and 10 dBa more then a similar sized concrete or wood
noise wall.
Member Haugen asked if the project will be a large benefit to bicyclists. Assistant City Engineer
Gaub answered that it will provide a bicycle lane in the corridor connecting the northern 15th
Street business area, including the current Park ‘n Ride area, and the Downtown Area.
Member Haugen asked if there have been any discussions with the business owners, primarily
the hospital, in the corridor about providing bicycle parking for employees. Member Haugen
spoke about incentives for hospital commuters to use bicycles and bicycle storage. Mayor
Lewis stated that Human Resources Director Heineman has been working with the surrounding
businesses as part of the Trip Reduction Program and working with employers on creating a
program to earn Trip Reduction Credits. Mayor Lewis said that the construction of the A/B
Corridor and the earned Trip Reduction Credits may be incentive for businesses to provide
storage for bicycles. Mayor Lewis suggested that Human Recourses Director Heineman
present the work she’s doing to the Committee.

The Committee and staff discussed the possibility of the City providing on street bicycle parking
on Division Street. Mayor Lewis asked that staff meet with hospital staff regarding the project.
Member Haugen asked for additional information on the number of parking stalls for bicycles at
the Transit Station.
Chairman Wagner commented on the length of the project schedule. Assistant City Engineer
Gaub stated that what is driving the scheduled is the fact that there is preload required due to
the poor soil quality on the northern portion of the roadway. This will require a settlement
period prior to road construction. There is also wetland mitigation that needs to be constructed
and work may not begin on any of the roadway work until the mitigation work has begun.
Member Haugen asked if any single-family houses will be affected by the project. Mayor Lewis
answered that the primary effect on single-family homes will be positive because trucks will be
routed out of neighborhoods.
Assistant City Engineer Gaub answered questions about the roadway construction materials
being used asked by Vice-Chair Peloza. The new roadway will be a concrete road and a
portion of the existing roadway will remain asphalt.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Haugen, that the Committee
recommend Council grant permission to advertise for Project No. 207A, A Street NW Extension
(A/B Corridor).
Motion carried 3-0.
C. PERMISSION TO ENTER INTO CONSULTANT AGREEMENT NO. AG-C-404 WITH ROTH
HILL INC. FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES ON PROJECT NO. CP1103, 132ND AVENUE SE
TACOMA PIPELINE 5 INTERTIE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Project Engineer Dunsdon explained that Project No. CP1103 is similar to the B Street Intertie
project which was constructed in 2010 except that the B Street project was constructed as an
emergency project so the City was able to expedite the project.
Project Engineer Dunsdon said that Roth Hill Inc. is also the consultant that is working on the
intertie immediately adjacent to the 132nd Avenue SE intertie for Water District 111.
Dunsdon reviewed the project’s scope with the Committee. Project Engineer Dunsdon pointed
out that as part of the project the City is negotiating with Covington and Water District 111 to
potentially purchase an existing waterline in the street rather then construct a new line. If the
negotiations are successful, the tie-in would occur at the street and if the waterline is not
purchased, a new waterline will be constructed as part of the project to connect to the existing
City waterline in the area. Chairman Wagner asked when the decision to purchase will be
made. Dunsdon answered a decision will probably be made within the next 10 weeks.
Chairman Wagner asked if there will be different consultant staff assigned to on Work Element
2 from the one that would work on Work Element 1. Project Engineer Dunsdon responded that
the consultant work group that works on Element 1 will also work on Element 2.
Project Engineer Dunsdon stated that the same consultant that is working on the SCADA
System is also working with Roth Hill on this intertie project, in response to questions asked by
Chairman Wagner. Dunsdon pointed out that the same consultant also worked on the B Street
intertie.

Dunsdon explained that this agreement does not include procurement or installation of SCADA
equipment. The consultant needs to complete the design prior to scoping an accurate price for
that work. Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle reiterated the agreement is just for the design
and programming portions of the project. Chairman Wagner asked what is covered by the
construction services cost. Dunsdon answered that the construction services include some
start-up testing and an operators’ manual.
Project Engineer Dunsdon reviewed the budget status sheet with the Committee. Project
Engineer Dunsdon stated that the task breakdown will be included with the agreement and the
consultant will be tracking their invoices by that breakdown, in response to a question asked by
Vice-Chair Peloza. Vice-Chair Peloza asked for a copy of the breakdown and asked that the
breakdowns be included in the future. Chairman Wagner agreed.
Assistant Director/City Engineer Selle and Project Engineer Dunsdon responded to questions
asked by Member Haugen regarding construction Change Orders and how changes are made
to the agreement cost.
Vice-Chair Peloza asked about the project schedule. Project Engineer Dunsdon answered that
the project is anticipated to be advertised for bids in January or February 2012. Dunsdon
stated that a two week delay in advertising the project would not adversely affect the schedule,
in response to a question asked by Vice-Chair Peloza. Chairman Wagner commented that it
would be beneficial that the project be completed before the rainy season.
Project Engineer Dunsdon answered that all of the construction services are to be completed at
the discretion of the City, in response to questions asked by Member Haugen.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Haugen, that the Committee grant
permission to enter into Consultant Agreement No. AG-C-404 with Roth Hill Inc. for engineering
services on Project No. CP1103, 132nd Avenue SE Tacoma Pipeline 5 Intertie Improvement
Project.
Motion carried 3-0.
D. AWARD CONTRACT NO. 11-03 TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST EARTHWORKS ON THEIR LOW
BID OF $84,574.00 FOR PROJECT NO. C507B, AUBURN/PACIFIC TRAIL – SKINNER
ROAD/3RD AVENUE SE (PHASE 2)
Chairman Wagner asked if the City of Pacific has committed the remaining funds. Project
Engineer Dunsdon answered that Pacific has committed their funding amount and because the
bids are under the Engineer’s Estimate, their contribution will be less than they anticipated.
Project Engineer Dunsdon reviewed the project design, in response to questions asked by
Chairman Wagner. Dunsdon explained that as part of the project the neighborhood side roads,
which have sidewalks, will be signed as a bicycle route to take cyclists to 3rd Avenue.
It was moved by Vice-Chair Peloza, seconded by Member Haugen, that the Committee
recommend Council award Contract No. 11-03 to Pacific Northwest Earthworks for Project No.
507B, Auburn/Pacific Trail – Skinner Road / 3rd Avenue SE (Phase 2).

Page 6
STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RELATING TO PROJECT NO. C207A
PROJECT NO. C207A A STREET NW EXTENSION (A/B CORRIDOR)
Assistant City Engineer Gaub explained that there are five different allocations of federal funds
for the project. Four of the allocations are included in this agreement and the other is included
in a separate agreement which was previously approved by the Council and executed.
Resolution No. 4707 is obligating the last allotment from fiscal year 2008 in the amount of
$1.23M. Previous resolutions obligated approximately $3.58M in federal funds, some used for
design and right-of-way. The supplemental agreement moves unexpended funds from the
Right-of-Way phase of the project to the Construction phase as the right-of-way costs came in
over $1.1M below the original estimates. The supplemental agreement also authorizes the
remainder of the federal dollars that were previously obligated for a total of $4.8M in federal
funds.

IV. DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION
A. M STREET SE UNDERPASS PROJECT – REVIEW OF PROJECT SIGN
The Committee and staff reviewed the proposed locations for the project signs. Gaub
explained that the sign to the south was placed in a location where drivers turning right on to M
Street from 4 Street SE will see it and where there was enough Right-of-Way to post the sign.
Vice-Chair Peloza suggested moving a sign south of the SR18 overpass. Chairman Wagner
further suggested placing a third sign at the location suggested by Vice-Chair Peloza instead of
relocating the sign on north bound M Street near the 4th Street SE intersection. The Committee
and staff decided it would be best to relocate the sign to the empty lot south of 6th Street SE for
the north bound traffic.
Chairman Wagner suggested increasing the size of the “Construction Anticipated Late 2010-
2013” announcement located in the orange box on the right side of the sign. Vice-Chair Peloza
suggested including project information flyers attached to the sign for pedestrians to pick up.
Member Haugen agreed that is a good idea and reminded staff that the flyers would have to be
refilled regularly.
B. CAPITAL PROJECT STATUS REPORT
Item 14 – C524A – SCADA System Improvements: Chairman Wagner asked for clarification on
the project’s status. Assistant City Engineer Gaub stated that the preliminary design work and
plan for the SCADA system are complete and that staff and the consultant are working on
implementation, procurement, and installation. Chairman Wagner asked that it be noted that
only the preliminary design is completed in the status.

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, authorizing the
Mayor to negotiate and execute an agreement with Puget Sound Energy, Inc for the
purpose of relocating power facilities in advance of construction of the A Street NW
Extension(A/B Corridor) (C207A)Project
Public Works Director Dowdy explained that Resolution No. 4706 authorizes the Mayor
to negotiate and execute an agreement with Puget Sound Energy for the relocation of
power facilities in advance of construction of the A Street NW Extension (A/B Corridor)
Project. The relocation is necessary to construct the roadway improvements.
Director Dowdy stated that the cost of the relocation is approximately $112,000.
The resolution was reviewed by the Public Works Committee earlier.
B.Resolution No. 4707 (Dowdy)
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, authorizing the
Mayor to execute a Local Agency Supplemental Agreement between the City of Auburn
and Washington State Department of Transportation relating to Project No. C207A, A
Street NW Extension
Public Works Director Dowdy explained that Resolution No. 4707 authorizes the
execution of a Local Agency Supplemental Agreement (No. 3) with the Washington
State Department of Transportation relating to the funding for Project No. C207A, the A
Street NW Extension Project. The supplemental agreement essentially reallocates
grant funding that was not used for right-of-way acquisition to the construction phase of
the project.
Resolution No. 4707 was reviewed by the Public Works Committee earlier.
C.Fire Relief and Pension Fund and Other Post Employment Benefits
Finance Director Coleman presented the Committee with information on the status of
the Fire Relief and Pension Fund and other post employment benefits, primarily
consisting of LEOFF 1 active and retired medical and long term care benefits.
Finance Director Coleman reported that an actuarial study is performed on the Fire
Relief and Pension Fund every two years. As of January 1, 2011, the fund has $2.78
million in assets plus $609,000, present value, in future fire insurance premiums,
bringing total assets to $3.389 million. As of January 1, 2011, there is a $272,000
unfunded actuarial accrued liability; however, the liability will be met by the tax revenue
from the fire insurance premium tax.
Committee members discussed the obligation and impact of the post employment
benefits for LEOFF 1. In 2008, the City had an actuarial study performed to determine
the Annual Required Contribution (ARC). In 2010, the ARC was $1,712,223. Director
Coleman explained that the City can account for the obligation by either setting up an
Page 2 of 3
FN.1
irrevocable trust or pay obligations as they occur but accrue the difference between the
ARC and the actual amount paid as a liability.
Finance Director Coleman recommended that, rather than establish an irrevocable trust,
the City consider an internal restriction of funds to be made available to pay the costs in
future years. Director Coleman suggested a policy to set aside in the Insurance Fund,
the difference between what is budgeted for post employment benefits and the amount
paid each year. Director Coleman stated that in 2010 approximately $300,000 in
unexpended funds that were budgeted for post employment benefits rolled back in to
the fund balance. She suggested that through an upcoming budget amendment, the
funds be allocated to the Insurance Fund and set aside for future years to meet the
LEOFF liability. Committee members agreed.
Member Wagner suggested that Finance Director Coleman present the information on
post employment benefits to the Auburn LEOFF Board.

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council award Contract 11-12, Project No. C410A, 277th Wetland Mitigation Monitoring
(Annual) to Nordic Construction, Inc. on their low bid of $48,954.35 plus WA state sales tax of
$4,650.66 for a total contract price of $53,605.01.
Background Summary:
The purpose of this project is to monitor and maintain the wetlands created under the S. 277th
St. Reconstruction Project, Project No. PR562, in order to meet permit requirements during the
10 year monitoring period. The project is currently in year 8 of the monitoring period. The City
has been working with the Watershed Company and Raedeke Associates to evaluate the
performance of the wetlands and to prepare construction and permit documents to address the
deficiencies.
In 2010, Contract 10-11 was awarded for work that included herbicide treatment, replanting
and installation of a temporary irrigation system. Due to high water levels at the site, that
contract was cancelled. The strategy for the site has been reassessed and revised
construction and permit documents have been prepared. The construction work planned for
2011 includes an herbicide treatment, installation of topsoil, replanting and installation of a
temporary irrigation system. The significant changes to the planned work from the 2010 design
include eliminating all work on the east side of the creek due to the difficult access, and
installation of 8 to18 inches of topsoil in the planting areas in order to create hummocks above
the inundated areas. All work is to be on City property.
Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in June 2011 and be complete in October
2011. A one-year plant establishment period is included in the contract. During the plant
establishment period, the Contractor will be responsible for maintaining the areas replanted
under this contract, including replacing dead plants, removing invasive species and operating
the temporary irrigation system as necessary to ensure establishment.
A project budget contingency of $74 remains in the 102 (Arterial Street) Fund for 2011.
Additional funds are anticipated to be required in future years to address the deficiencies of the

Administrative Recommendation:
City Council approve Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $106,531.90 to Contract 10-26 with
Mountain West Construction, LLC for work on project CP0920, 2009 AC Watermain
Replacement.
Background Summary:
This project will provide for the replacement of 4,600 linear feet of asbestos concrete water
main with 470 linear feet of 4-inch and 4,155 linear feet of 8-inch diameter ductile iron water
main; replacement of 345 linear feet of storm drainage piping; installation of 1 pressure
reducing valve station, air relief valves, and fire hydrants; also replaced are the adjoining water
services and appurtenances in the Lea Hill service area.
Change Order No. 3 will replace an additional 40% of the affected roads for a full width
roadway repair in consideration of the existing pavement failures experienced during
construction in this former unincorporated King County area. This change order will rubblize
the existing asphalt pavement and reuse the planings for the road base and construct a new 4
inch pavement over the road base. The anticipated completion date of this project is June,
2011.
The roads within this project were originally identified as possible candidates for Save Our
Streets (SOS) improvements; additional work is based on the existing roadway conditions prior
to the waterline construction. Staff believes it is appropriate for the SOS program to share in
the pavement restoration costs.
A project increase of $106,532 within the 103 Local Streets fund/account will be necessary;
however it will not require a budget adjustment since it is anticipated that the budgeted
expenditures in the 103 Local Streets fund/account will not be exceeded this year.
