SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima intends to reduce congestion, delay and vehicle emissions in the downtown
area by implementing a program to replace the existing traffic control system at 40 street
intersections. The project is funded using two different sources. Federal funds of $1,288,000 are
from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program. State funds of $1,512,000
are from the Corridor Congestion Relief Program through WSDOT, for a total project cost of
$2,800,000. The local match requirement is estimated at $120,000, and is anticipated to be in-
. kind instead of cash.
One restriction with the State funds is that construction funds must be obligated by May 31,
2001. In order to meet these grant requirements, staff respectfully submits this contract and
resolution to hire NWS Traffic Engineering to prepare the plans, specifications and estimates
(PS &E) for construction bids of the improvement to the 40 intersections in the Yakima CBD
system. Maximum contract amount for this phase is $183,000, to be covered by grants. The
appropriation ordinance is necessary to establish the project budget and reflect the related grant
revenue.
