Dir. Feser and Mr. Woods outlined a proposal to execute an Interlocal Agreement between Snohomish
County and City of Edmonds totaling $127,000 for Mathay Ballinger Park improvements of a large picnic
shelter. She provided background on the various amenities and improvements to the park, noting that
the shelter is the remaining amenity of the initial improvement design. This project was initially paused

Snohomish County Council/City Partnership Project grant of $127,000 for the installation of the shelter.
Questions and discussion followed regarding rental policy and the basketball court.
Committee recommendation: Consent
2. Presentation of PSA with BHC to provide design services for Phase 6 Stormwater
Replacement Project
Mr. English explained the process leading to the recommendation to approve the contract with BHC for
design services for the Phase 6 Stormwater Replacement Project. The Phase 6 Project will focus on
replacement and/or rehabilitation of approximately 2,700 linear feet of the City’s Storm network by either
using Cured in Place pipe technology or removal and replacement. Selection of the sites was
determined using maintenance data supplied from the Storm maintenance and operations division. In
addition, for the Phase 7 sites, storm pipe replacement evaluations and preliminary alignment
determination is included in the scope and fee. This will aid in finalizing the alignments and site selection
for the projects that will be part of the Phase 7 Replacement and/or rehabilitation work. A contract has
been negotiated for the projects planned to be constructed in 2026 as part of the Phase 6 work. The
City has negotiated a consultant fee of $461,461 for this phase. This contract will be funded by the
Stormwater Utility Fund.
Committee recommendation: Consent
