3. Presentation of Professional Services Agreement for KPG/Psomas to Provide
Design Engineering Services for the Phase 5 Storm Utility Replacement/Rehab
Protect
Mr. English explained an RFQ was issued in 2021 to select the design consultant for a 2-year period;
the first year of design was for Phase 4 which is now out to bid. This is design of Phase 5 which will be
built in 2025. The scope of work includes over 2,100 feet of cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining in two
locations, 24" diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP) on 80th, and 48" diameter CMP on SR 104 in the
Westgate area. The consultant fee of approximately $137,000 includes a $15,000 in management
reserve. The schedule is to finish design in the first quarter of 2025 and construction in summer 2025.
Questions and discussion followed regarding a potential third location of pipe replacement left over from
Phase 4, and CIPP not requiring trenching so it does not impact roadway surface.
Committee recommendation: Consent agenda
4. 5-ft Dedication for 98th Ave W Right -of -Way adjacent to 22214 98th Ave W
Mr. English explained this is a proposed 3-lot short plat on 98th Ave W. The street plan requires a 60-
foot right-of-way and the current right-of-way on the west side where the short plat connects has a 25-
foot right-of-way so the City is requiring a 5-foot dedication as part of development to increase the right-
of-way to 30 feet.
Questions and discussion followed regarding another parcel on 98th Ave W that has not dedicated 5-
feet of right-of-way, and requirement for dedication of right-of-way with development.
Committee recommendation: Consent agenda
5. A&T Dreams 10-ft Street Dedication and 20-ft Public Sewer Easement
Mr. English explained this is related to a proposed single family development at 16516 74th Place W.
The street map indicates a 10-foot right-of-way dedication is required along the 76th Ave W property
frontage of the subject development which will be dedicated to the City as a condition of development.
Before this is scheduled on a future consent agenda, staff will verify that the dedication is across the
entire parcel as shown on the survey. In addition, an existing public sanitary sewer main is located
within the subject property and a 20-ft wide sewer easement shall be provided to the City as a condition
of development.

Questions and discussion followed regarding the location of the easement, sewer line shown on the
City's GIS map but there is no recorded sewer easement, City requiring the easement be dedicated as
part of approval, and prescriptive easement based on years the sewer line has existed.
Committee recommendation: Consent agenda (after verification with surveyor)
6. Update on Main Street
Mr. English advised this update was a result of questions asked at the end of last week's presentation

• Transit
o Existing Route 102; proposed route 130
0 3 bus stops
• Traffic calming
o Request submitted a few years ago
• 85th percentile in uphill (westbound) direction 33 mph (8 mph over speed limit) would
trigger more investigation per traffic calming policy
■ 85th percentile downhill (westbound) 29 mph
• Design change
o Cost approximately $2,000 to remove bike lane and reconfiguring striping plan
Mr. Antillon commented if traffic calming is needed uphill, reducing the lane width can have a calming
effect on traffic. The preference is always to have bike lanes first, and sharrows as a last option.
Sharrows are only recommended when there is little difference between vehicle and bike speeds.
Questions and discussion followed regarding Bike for Health Pathways identified by EBAG via a
Verdant grant, whether the bulb -outs would remain, consequences of not following the Complete
Streets ordinance, support for marked sharrows on both sides, transition at intersections, federal project
6th to 8th and local overlay 8th to 9th, right turn lane uphill at 91h & Main, pedestrians and parking in the
section where the library and FAC are located, bike lane providing a buffer for people exiting their
vehicles, and narrower travel lanes helping to reduce speeds.
Committee recommendation: Send link to slides with designated bike routes to council
