2024-06-18 Council PPW MinutesPARKS & PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING June 18, 2024 Elected Officials Present Staff Present Councilmember Susan Paine (Chair) Oscar Antillon, Public Works Director Councilmember Michelle Dotsch Todd Tatum, Comm., Culture & Econ. Dev. Dir. Rob English, City Engineer Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer Mike De Lilla, Senior Utilities Engineer Frances Chapin, Arts & Culture Program Mgr. Scott Passey, City Clerk CALL TO ORDER The Edmonds City Council PPW Committee meeting was called to order virtually and in the City Council Conference Room, 121 — 51" Avenue North, Edmonds, at 1:30 pm by Councilmember Paine. 2. COMMITTEE BUSINESS 1. Creative District Gateway Art RFQ Ms. Chapin relayed the City received a capital grant from the Washington State Arts Commission to create a public art installation at Anway Park as a gateway to the Creative District and the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation provided a cash match. The City's public art process requires council approval to advertise the request for qualifications (RFQ)/call for artists for significant projects. Questions and discussion followed regarding the site selection, advantages to the site as a gateway to ferry users, opportunity to provide information about the Creative District at the site, activating the space in the future, funding for interpretative signage about the Creative District and Edmonds as an arts and culture destination, concern other areas of the City do not get the same focus as the Creative District, and requirement for the grand funds to be used in the Creative District. Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda 2. Presentation of Perrinville Flow Reduction Study Update - Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the Cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood Mr. De Lilla explained this is the culmination of various studies and the Stormwater Management Action Plan in which Perrinville is identified as a basin of interest. Edmonds and Lynnwood were able to secure a $469,200 grant to update the 2015 Perrinville Flow Reduction Study, verify assumptions and find additional sites where stormwater discharge from MS4 (pipe system into Perrinville) can be decreased. The focus of this project will be on the storm pipe network; work being done on the culvert at the bottom of Perrinville Creek related to fish passage is completely separate from this study. The grant is split 50/50 between the cities; Edmonds will manage the grant with Ecology and Lynnwood will contribute half of the required match. Questions and discussion followed regarding issues in the Perrinville watershed, collaborating with Lynnwood, whether Snohomish County is involved in this project, erosion in County Park that impacts the creek, mitigating flows from Lynnwood, providing information to the public about Perrinville Creek, and the difference between MS4 pipe system and the creek. 06/18/24 PPW Committee Minutes, Page 2 Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda. 3. Presentation of Professional Services Agreement for Perrinville Flow Reduction Study Update Mr. De Lilla explained the City issued an RFQ at the end of 2023; Herrera was the only respondent likely because they did the Stormwater Management Action Plan. Edmonds and Lynnwood reviewed Herrera's qualifications and agreed they were qualified. The first phase will include review of original sites and identifying and prioritizing 6-10 additional sites where work will be done such as geotechnical engineering. The second phase will be additional due diligence and exploratory work on those sites. The fee for the first phase is $140,538 which includes a $14,234 management reserve. Questions and discussion followed regarding Herrara's fees, changing the date in Task 2 in the scope of work from January 2024 to January 2025, number of additional sites to be identified, and staff making a presentation to council once the study is completed. Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda. 4. Presentation of Subaward Safety Action Plan Agreement between Puget Sound Regional Council and City of Edmonds Mr. English explained last summer the City partnered with PSRC and ten other cities on a $2.87 million grant application through U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to prepare a safety action plan. Edmonds' share of the grant award is $300,000 and requires a 20% local match. Exhibit A outlines tasks for developing the plan which include developing a Vision Zero policy that looks at reducing roadway accidents for all users and identifying projects and priorities to meet the target of a significant reduction in accidents. Development of the plan is the first step to access implementation funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as the City cannot request funding until the safety action plan is developed and approved. The schedule is to begin the work in fall 2024 and conclude summer 2025. Due to receipt of the grant notification in late 2023, the match was not included in the 2024 budget. Staff's requests for this item include, 1) approve the subaward agreement, 2) authorize expenditures of staff time and professional services (a second quarter budget amendment will program the grant revenues and expenditures in 2024), and 3) approve issuing the RFQ. The funding source will be the 112 Street Fund, and not REET. Questions and discussion followed regarding updating the Complete Streets Ordinance, funding in 2024 and 2025, estimated staff time and professional services, whether the start date could be delayed until 2025, impact of delaying the start, Washington State's Safety Action Plan, inability to acquire SS4A funds until the plan is approved, potential projects, lighting analysis study, whether this effort could include analysis of bike pedestrian bridge across SR-104, entities that would be involved with a bike - pedestrian bridge, and the public's interest in a Highway 99 pedestrian overpass. Committee recommendation: Full council with clarification on the funding source 5. Presentation of Supplemental Agreement with WSP for Construction Management Services on the 76th Ave Overlay Project Mr. English relayed this is a time extension of the agreement with WSP from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025; construction of the 76th Ave overlay project is complete and is in the process of close out. There is no additional cost to the City of extending the agreement to complete the close out and ensure the consultant can participate if this project is selected by WSDOT for a project management review (PMR). 06/18/24 PPW Committee Minutes, Page 3 Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda. 6. Presentation of Supplemental Agreement with SCJ for Hwy 99 Revitalization Stage 3 Mr. English explained the project limits for Stage 3 are 244th Street to 238th Street. The original agreement for approximately $3.2 million with a $150,000 management reserve was approved November 2022. In March 2023, following discussion with the state, the cross section was changed to include a bike path adjacent to the sidewalk Highway 99 and to extend the project limits on 238th to 84th so there would be connectivity to the 84th Street corridor. This supplement adds design work related to those two changes including survey, storm drainage work on 238th (designed to the 2024 DOE stormwater manual which will be adopted by the time this project is constructed in 2028), and preparation of a cultural resources report. An addition to the supplemental agreement in the packet, the project includes conducting a level 1 environmental site assessment for several properties prior to right-of-way acquisition. The site assessment is estimated to cost $20,000, bringing the total supplement to approximately $390,000. The funding source for design and right-of-way acquisition for Stage 3 is Connecting Washington; construction funds are from Move Ahead Washington funds. Staff will come back with a Stage 4 supplement later this summer. Questions and discussion followed regarding whether cultural resources have ever been found in a Public Works construction site in the City, Highway 99 being a good candidate for SS4A grants, potential for a RAISE grant, location of properties where right-of-way acquisition is anticipated, and design of the northbound left turn from Highway 99 to 238tn Committee recommendation: Full council 7.

Committee recommendation: Full council 06/18/24 PPW Committee Minutes, Page 7 9. Authorization to purchase (1) 2024 Freightliner 800 Series Jet Truck Mr. Antillon relayed this truck has been previously budgeted and approved as a planned replacement in the 2024 Fleet Replacement Budget purchased with B-Fund monies. The truck was ordered last year and delivery is anticipated next month which will require the mayor's signature authorizing the expense. Mr. Antillon responded to council questions regarding the vehicle this jet truck replaces and auction of the old truck. Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda Mr. Antillon requested an item be added to next week's consent agenda, a third extension of the agreement for HKA's services at the WWTP and requesting the mayor obligate another $130,000. Half the cost is the City's responsibility and the other half is paid by the WWTP partners. This extension is similar to the second amendment to the contract in September 2023. Discussion followed regarding whether to have the item on the consent agenda or the full council agenda. 10. Council Rules of Procedure Section 1 & 2 Authority and Council Organization Councilmember Dotsch requested the language that was removed in Section 2.5.C, Filling a Council Vacancy, regarding asking applicants to remain outside the Council Chambers while other applicants are being interviewed, be restored. Following a brief discussion, Councilmember Paine suggested Councilmember Dotsch email City Clerk Scott Passey regarding why that language was removed. Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda. 3. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 3:27 pm. sx--4- -- SCOTT PASSEY, CiIf CLERK
