7. REPORT FROM ENGINEERING DIVISION REGARDING I -82 PROJECT VALUE
ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Dennis Covell, Director of Engineering and Utilities,
referred to the Value Engineering Study of the Pre - design of
the Gateway Project. He explained the Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) requires value engineering to be done
for any project in excess of $1 million funding by that
organization. The study was done between August 16th and
August 19th and a written summation of the verbal summary of
the study was previously distributed to Council members, as
well as the VE Study document.
In order to address a question from Council Member Barnett,
Mr. Covell explained he believes, along with the County and
the State in discussion of this matter, that the consultant's
estimate is conservative and that the increased cost to
include the "I" Ramp in Stage 1 construction can be
accommodated within existing funding. Mr. Covell introduced
Stan Kelley of CVS, Inc., the Team Leader in the VE Study.
With the aid of illustrations and maps, Mr. Kelley briefly
explained the value engineering methodology /objectives and
explained the Team's findings from the eight areas which
determined six Value Engineering Proposals (VEPs).
Mr. Kelley reviewed VEP No. 1, a proposal which would
eliminate the signal at J -Line and Yakima Avenue; VEP No. 2,
a proposal which would eliminate two J -Line intersection
signals, one at Yakima Avenue and one at Fair Avenue; and VEP
No. 3, a proposal which would eliminate the two J -Line
intersection signals and add to Stage 1 the construction of
the DR -Line (Ramp I). Mr. Kelley answered several questions
from Council Members Beauchamp, Sims, and Buchanan regarding
various traffic routes of the design and the lack of cost
effectiveness to align Ramp I and Ramp J. Mr. Kelley
reviewed VEP No. 4, a proposal to improve Fair. Avenue to
three lanes from Spruce Street to Pacific Street during Stage
1 as an interim measure prior to the eventual design calling
2
402
SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
for five lanes. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Covell responded to a
question from Council Member Beauchamp regarding the Fair
Avenue construction location. Mr. Kelley further explained
VEP No. 5, which refers to the CL -Line Flyaway Taper and
proposes an increase in the length of the merge lane where it
joins westbound Yakima Avenue traffic. He referred to the
map and explained how this would be done. Council. Member
Buchanan cbmmented.that the distance pedestrians will have to
walk on the north side to get across the merging lane will
increase. VEP No 6 includes the installation of a temporary
signal at the intersection of Terrace Heights Way and the
northbound ramps. Mr. Kelley explained that it would be used
during the construction period only because the volume of
traffic doesn't warrant permanent signalization. Council
Member Buchanan commented about the need for signalization at
this intersection and ramp and expressed concern about
putting in painted walkways instead. Mr. Kelley and
Mr. Covell responded to Council Member Barnett's written
questions contained in Attachment "A" of the report regarding
VEPs 1, 2, and 3 and clarified the meaning of Level of
Service standards. Mr. Covell provided explanation
concerning the turn radius on the J Ramp and emphasized the
importance of lane width. Council Member Barnett asked if
there had been a response received from the Federal Highway
Administration and what changes might be made. Dick Larson,
District Administrator, DOT, explained the Federal Highway
Administration will consider this project from an operational
standpoint in the interstate system -- how it will operate
now and in the future. In response to a question from
Council Member Buchanan about the safety of putting a
pedestrian lane across the highway, Mr. Larson described the
pedestrian access provisions of this project as adequate in
an urban setting.
At this point, Mr. Kelley continued his presentation with
Design and Project Suggestions. These included the
essentiality of retaining the J -Line (Ramp J) in the design
because it will provide a smooth flow of traffic; the
suggestion to not include a signal at 9th Street and Yakima
Avenue because it is believed the Stage 1 improvements will
reduce the amount of truck traffic and significantly improve
traffic circulation in the 8th Street and 9th Street area.
Council Member Buchanan commented that truck drivers use the
easiest and shortest route. The third suggestion was to
remove or reduce the length of the median strip (decorative
island) on 8th Street. This would permit the left turn lane
to be significantly increased in length which will make it
easier to turn left onto Yakima Avenue. Mr. Kelley commented
that with these improvements on 8th Street, the traffic
signal should remain. Council Member Brado suggested making
an optional left turn lane in order to expedite traffic. In
response to a question from Council Member Beauchamp
regarding elimination of traffic signals, Mr. Kelley
commented that it should be the designer's responsibility to
3
40.3
SEPTEMBER' - 7, 1993
evaluate signalization recommendations. Mr. Kelley answered
a question from Council Member Buchanan regarding a free
right turn on the J Ramp. Mr. •Kelley explained the VE Team
recommended eliminating the frontage road along Terrace
Heights Way for safety reasons and because the frontage road
could be utilized to improve Terrace Heights Way alignment,
be utilized as part of the pedestrian /bicycle lane and
provide for future development of a third west bound lane
which would become a right turn lane at 9th Street. The last
item Mr. Kelley suggested was to separate into three contract
packages, the civil and structural work, 'the final grading
and paving, and the landscaping and irrigation. • By doing
this, Mr. Kelley explained, the VE Team felt a significant
amount of money could be saved. There was discussion between
Council Member Barnett and Dennis Covell regarding putting
project optional add-ons 'to the base contract and being able
to accommodate them with existing funding. Mr. Larson
responded to Council Member Barnett's question regarding what
would happen to existing state funds if the parties to the
agreement do not make a written commitment to complete the
ultimate project. Mr. Kelley finished his presentation by
describing the present design as an excellent total plan for
continued implementation and construction. The suggested
changes contained in the VE Proposals indicate value
enhancement of the project. Mr. Kelley responded to a
question from Council Member Beauchamp regarding the cost
estimate of improvements to Fair Avenue and explained the
meaning of life cycle savings. At the request of Council
Member Buchanan, staff will provide information at a later
date about what the grade is on the J Ramp and the CL Line.
Al Royal, JEM Development, 402 E. Yakima Avenue, commended
the VE Team's recommended changes, in particular, the removal
of signalization on Yakima Avenue. He expressed concern
about the proposed net increase in the cost of the project
and urged the prioritization of Phase 1 and Phase 2 project
consideration be made by City Council. He questioned the
status of the J Ramp being identified in the report as a key
element of the design. Mr. Royal also commented about the
availability of funding. He described the negative impact he
believes the J Ramp will have on the downtown area and wanted
the assurance that what will be built will continue to
preserve at least the level of access that they have today.
Gary Lukehart, 1100 East Lincoln, commended the VE Team on
I/ their findings and described the positive impact this project
will have on the area. He urged the project move forward to
the next stage. Greg Stewart, Central Washington State Fair
Board, described this project as an investment in the future
and encouraged Council to move forward with the project.
Dave Connell, 810 Mesa Vista Place, representing the Yakima
Bears, urged Council to go forward with the project and
announced the Yakima Bears are in favor of this project.
Council Member Barnett directed staff, regarding the frontage
road access, to include existing homes and businesses that
would be affected into the discussions. After further
4
404
SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
discussion concerning the design contract, the opportunity
for Council to address this issue at a later date, and the
continued search for pedestrian /bicycle pathway funding,
there was a consensus among Council members that the
following is the list of Recommendations: (1) , It is
recommended that VEP #3, 5, 6 be incorporated into the design
and right -of -way phase of the consultant contract to be
reconsidered for Council action on September 14th. (2) It
is recommended that VEP #4 funding be pursued. Currently
local competitive 1994 STP grant money has been tentatively
secured for the design of Fair Avenue between Spruce Street
and Pacific Avenue. WDOT, Yakima County, Transit, and City
Engineering are providing the local match money in accordance
with the Gateway participation agreement between the three
entities. This allows time to continue to seek other grant
moneys for VEP #4 construction so it can be coordinated with
the Gateway project Stage 1 construction. ( It is
recommended that design project comments #1 & 2 be approved
and comment #2 be included in the Gateway Project as a bid
alternative. City Engineering can do the necessary design
and costing work. (4) It is recommended that design project
comment #3 be referred to the consultant to cost out
eliminating or reducing the frontage road access. This
information should be presented to Council in the future
for consideration of incorporation into the project design.
(5) it is recommended that the project Stage 1 construction
be programmed into three separate contracts as suggested in
the design and project comments section 7.5 of the VE Study.
The Design and Project Comments- referred to in the
Recommendations are as follows: (1) Lengthen the north leg
left turn movement at the intersection of 8th Street and
Yakima Avenue to increase the efficiency of the intersection
by removing the landscape /pedestrian island. (2) No signal
at 9th Street and Yakima Avenue Intersection because it is
believed the improvements visualized in Stage 1 of the
project will significantly reduce the Convention
Center /Holiday Inn /Cavanaughs access to Yakima Avenue during
peak traffic hours. (3) The VE Team recommended eliminating
the frontage road along Terrace Heights Way for safety
reasons and because the frontage road could be utilized to
improve Terrace Heights Way alignment, be utilized as part of
the Ped /Bike lane and provide for future development of a
third west bound lane which would become a right turn lane at
9th Street. The cost to modify the residential and business
access along the frontage road to Pitcher Street was not
costed out as it was not part of the original pre- design of
the project. (4) Multiple contracts for Stage 1
construction has a potential project savings of $150,000
$200,000. It was MOVED BY SEMON, SECONDED BY SIMS, TO
ADOPT THE FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCLUDE THE CAVEAT
THAT MR.COVELL WILL TALK WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. The
motion carried by unanimous voice vote. City Manager Zais
advised Council that the consultant contract will be placed
on next week's agenda.

19. YAKIMA CITY COUNCIL AND WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF
ECOLOGY ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM
Following a brief recess, the forum began with Chris
Waarvick, Wastewater Superintendent, briefly outlining four
areas of discussion. He introduced Bob Barwin, Rick Frye,
and Tony Grover, with the Washington Department of Ecology.
Bob Barwin is the Water Quality Sections Supervisor with DOE
in Yakima who deals with the Central Region of Washington.
He explained the changes in implementation of the Water
Quality Program and reviewed the "Ecology Mission" statement.
He emphasized Ecology's intent to balance economic
development issues versus environmental impacts through the
concept of wise management. Council Member Sims described
the mission statement as being exclusionary with no public
input and commented that it doesn't say who is going to pay
nor does it talk about the economic impact. At this point,
Mr. Barwin continued his presentation with a brief history of
the Federal Clean Water Act of the early 1970s when there
were abundant grant programs available, mostly funded by
federal revenue. However, due to declining federal revenue,
those programs have been eliminated and have been replaced by
a smaller loan program; there has been two state bond issues
passed to generate funds, and the Centennial Clean Water Fund
established to provide grants for clean water activities.
During the last ten years, the tendency has been to push the
costs down to the local level to those entities generating
the wastewater. Mr. Barwin described the local water quality
as being in pretty good shape but emphasized that the Lower
Yakima River is in a state where it doesn't meet or exceed
the "Federal Class A standards which are conducive to a
swimmable or fishable status. There are some problems with
8
408
SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
pesticide contaminated sediments, and high temperatures due
to a lot of diversion of water. Mr. Barwin continued his
presentation that included explanation of the Watershed
Approach and answers to questions and comments from Council
members and staff. There was discussion among Council
members, staff, and Mr. Barwin regarding Yakima's wastewater
discharge permit which is expected to be extended until 1997
due to this policy shift to the watershed basin approach to
pollution control. Mr. Barwin explained the Five Year Cycle
which includes scoping, monitoring, assessing and evaluating
information, and public involvement, which will eventually
lead to basin plan development and permit issuance and
implementation, as well as including management practices
that identify new problems and the development of flexible
solutions to them. He explained the concept of Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) as it directly pertains to the water
quality standards as it affects Yakima. He explained where
federal mandates come from, as well as how litigation affects
program implementation.
City Manager Zais commented about regulations from the agency
that require immediate comment or short timeframe for
comment. That presents problems for cities and other
agencies around the state. Referring to the burden of
federal mandates, Council Member Semon stressed the
importance of the Department of Ecology to utilize their
capability to inform the EPA of the City's concerns about
this issue. Mr. Barwin commented that a taskforce has been
appointed to consider regulation development from a
multiagency viewpoint. Referring to the overhaul in the
Administrative Procedures Act a few years ago, Mr. Barwin
continued his presentation with explanation and comments
about the public involvement process when it comes to policy
development. Most of the useful process is done at the
workshop stage.
Mr. Barwin briefly explained the National Toxics Rule,
recently issued by the EPA, which includes specific standards
for toxic pollutants. He indicated that this will be a
future issue Yakima will need to consider. Mr. Barwin
referred to the Clean Water Act Reauthorization, proposed
legislation moving towards the Senate, and commented about
the significant emphasis being placed on nonpoint sources of
pollution (such as stormwater runoff). Referring to the
major change for this community to comply with the new
requirements proposed in the Water Pollution Prevention and
Control Act of 1993, City Manager Zais explained that there
will be new funding requirements and perhaps a new stormwater
utility will need to be established. This will have to be
done to finance it. Council Member Barnett commented about
whether the City of Yakima Whitepaper will have any affect,
or make any difference, on the proposed legislation. City
Manager Zais explained why it is necessary to express the
concerns and views of the community regarding the Clean Water
9
409
SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
Act Reauthorization to the appropriate authorities. This
proposed legislation will go through an extensive review
process of which we will have an opportunity to input.
Mr. Barwin described the effects of the state's dangerous
I/ waste regulation and how it identifies what wastes are
dangerous, and described the coordination between agencies in
order to not duplicate functions regarding permit
administration. He provided a brief history of this issue
and explained what changes the hazardous waste program will
include. Pete Hobbs, Pretreatment Specialist, clarified a
question from Council Member Barnett regarding local
dangerous waste monitoring. Council Member Barnett commented
about the complexity and the confusing nature of the
regulations concerning the WAC Model Toxics Control Act. He
requested a response to questions asked regarding WAC 173 -
322. Ty Wick commented that he hadn't received any response
to his letter regarding the proposed changes to the WAC
which, in order to receive grant money, would name
responsible parties to the cleanup; that would be a condition
to receiving the grant money. Tony Grover, with the Toxics
Cleanup Program, Department of Ecology, referred to the
proposed new Grant Rules, and answered questions relating to
the railroad cleanup area and the Model Toxics Control Act
Chapter 173 -322. He apologized for the confusion and
explained he will make sure the language is clarified.
- 20. REPORT FROM DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
REGARDING STATUS OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT
Discussion was postponed. Council members were reminded
about neighborhood meetings.
21. OTHER BUSINESS
Discussion occurred regarding the conflict of scheduling of
an Airport Board meeting and the informal Council meeting.
