Staff Present
Rob English, City Engineer
Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer
Shannon Burley, Deputy Parks Director
Mike Adams, Fleet Manager
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Item 13 was moved to the
beginning of the agenda.
13. Authorization to Purchase -2019 Cues Sewer Video Inspection Truck
Mr. English explained this was presented to the PPW Committee in April and Councilmember Johnson
had additional questions. Mr. Adams explained the existing Cues truck was put into service in June
2009, mileage of 18,515 and generator hours of 6,200 (reflects operating hours of the video equipment).
The cost in 2009 was $174,715. The new truck has a $100,000 digital universal camera (DUC) that
looks straight and around the pipe and has high definition detail.
Councilmember Johnson relayed the cost of the proposed truck is $412,999.59 ($463,000 less a
$50,000 trade-in allowance). The new truck is on a 10-year replacement cycle, but anticipated to be
used for 12 years. She suggested the existing truck had two years of useful life remaining as evidenced
by the trade-in value and retaining the camera as a spare. Mr. Adams explained the truck itself is fine
but the interfacing modules to operate the DUC that was purchased three years ago make using the
camera very clunky and time-consuming and the DUC, lateral launch and other cameras require
frequent repair. The cost of the truck (cab chassis, box and generator) is $97,000; the new truck will
have an oversized alternator and an inverter assembly to convert power which is much quieter than the
existing generator. Storm purchased a similar truck without the lateral launch camera.
Discussion followed regarding the inability for storm and sewer to share a video inspection truck,
difficulties with the camera interface creating the need for a new truck, retaining the existing DUC
camera as a spare, and approval of the truck in the 2019 budget.
Action: Schedule as action item for full Council
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Special Event Contracts Oth of July, Taste & Car
Show
Ms. Burley explained the contract language has been updated to reflect the ban on single use plastic
straws/stirrers and cutlery and to promote food composting. Locations for compostable bins have been
agreed upon and will be included in the map handout and on the Chamber website. The 4th of July
contract has also been updated to include the 5k/1k race. With regard to the Taste, the south facing
stage that reduced sound impact for nearby condominium residents will continue this year.
Councilmember Teitzel, whose condo faces the field, agreed the repositioning of the stage was an
improvement. He pointed out the Taste contract contained "Taste of Edmonds" in several places.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda.

7. Waterfront Redevelopment Project Bid Report & Award
Ms. Burley reported two bids were received, both significantly higher than the engineer's estimate. One
bid was deemed non -responsive and staff recommends rejecting the second bid and relooking at the
project. Mr. English explained consideration is being given to separating the project into two projects —
1) seawall construction that can only be during the fish window (July to September), and 2) parking lot
improvements which could start early fall in conjunction with the Waterfront Center construction. The
seawall project could be bid and constructed next year.
Discussion followed regarding constructing the seawall after the building is complete, what components
would be in each part of the project, potential for heavy equipment for the seawall construction
damaging the parking lot, and consideration being given to delaying the second lift of pavement until
after the seawall is constructed and isolating access to one lane in the parking lot or leaving the north

10. Report on Bids for the 238th St. SW Island Improvements and Pedestrian Curb Ramp
Barrier Removals
Mr. English relayed bids were presented to the PPW Committee in March; one bid was received that
was very high and the City Council rejected bids in April. The project was advertised and four bids were
received. The low bid of $207,174.70, submitted by Salinas Construction was missing documentation
and was rejected as non -responsive. McCann Construction Enterprises submitted the low responsive
bid in the amount of $374,322 for Schedules A, B and C. With the funds available, all three schedules
could not be awarded so staff is recommending awarding Schedules A (island on 238th) & B (4
intersection ramps at 41h & Alder) for a total of $269,708. Available funding includes $189,220 in CDBG
grants, $49,850 from REET and a first quarter budget amendment in 2019 carried over funds for a total
of $259,007. The total estimated construction budget with the construction contract, construction
management and management reserve is $350,628.

Alder which are scheduled for overlay in the near future. Funding sources include Fund 112 and REET
125 and 126. He responded to Council questions about funds typically carried forward from the overlay

the easement is outside of the railroad's right-of-way in the parking lot.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda.
