SUBJECT. • 2016 Capital Improvement Projects: Yd Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Report is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
projects for the 3r Quarter of 2016, including current project status, milestones, and any new
developments that may significantly alter the schedules or costs of the projects. This narrative
discusses Water /Irrigation Division, Wastewater /Stormwater Division and Engineering Division
proj ects.
Railroad Grade Separations, Phase 4: Proiect Aesthetics
This project consists of constructing the "Bins of Light" art piece on Lincoln Avenue just east of
the Front Street Bridge, and constructing an elevated sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln
Avenue from 1st Avenue to 1st Street. Bids were opened on March 3rd for this project, with the
low bid of $669,490 being submitted by Belsaas and Smith. Although the project began
construction on July 19th, 2016, due to complications with the aluminum manufacturing (label
cutouts), the project working days were suspended in August as the contractor has to wait for
delivery of the art pieces (glass, aluminum label cutouts and framing). The work restarted in
October and the sidewalk should be completed this month. The "Bins of Light" is scheduled to
be operational sometime in January, weather dependent.
♦ Projected completion: 1st Quarter FY2017
Yakima Valley Trolley Barn & Museum Preservation
Using State Enhancement funds, the City purchased the historic YVT Trolley Repair Barn and
Substation on January 31, 2008. Funding also allowed for repairs to the west and south walls and
the crane system. That work has been completed. Some funding still remains and will be used to
remove and replace approximately 120 feet of bad track starting at the intersection of Yakima
Avenue and 6th Avenue, and continue southerly along 6th Avenue. Paperwork for environmental
clearance has to be submitted specifically for this deficient crossing.
♦ Projected completion: mid -year FY2017
1
Cascade Mill Redevelopment Proiect
This project includes multiple tasks to redevelop the former 225 -acre Boise Cascade Mill.
Yakima was awarded $25 million in LIFT funding (Local Infrastructure Financing Tool) from
the State of Washington to create a Revenue Development Area that will assist in the transition
from the former mill to a mixed use economic catalyst including creation of an estimated 4,500
light manufacturing, office park, commercial, retail and entertainment jobs.
The current status of the project includes:
1. A modified Interchange Justification Report (IJR) will be submitted to the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in early September. The purpose of the
IJR is to provide freeway access to a proposed east — west roadway that will connect
Terrace Height to north Yakima, and thereby, provide direct access from the I -82 to the
former sawmill site. Design of the preferred alignment of this east -west roadway west of
the interstate is nearing completion, after which the NEPA documentation will be
finalized. The "Connecting Washington" legislation approved last fall provides funds for
the improvements to I -82, as well as, the bridges over the interstate and Yakima River.
2. Design of a North to South City Boulevard -type Street that will provide access to the mill
site. City of Yakima is project lead. The first phase of this project that constructed the
southernmost 500 feet of this north — south road (named Bravo Company Boulevard),
along with a roundabout that connects Bravo Company Boulevard to Fair Avenue,
Lincoln Avenue and MLK Boulevard has been completed. The construction was done by
Granite Construction Company for a cost around $2,425,000.
3. Preliminary Design and alignment of "East -West Corridor Road" — Yakima County
project lead. The existing `H' Street corridor will be improved from North 1st Street to
7th Street as part of this project. NEPA review is scheduled for the East -West Corridor
from the bridge over 1 -82 and east. SEPA review is scheduled for the section that is west
of the Interstate overpass.
4. Grant funding research, permitting and options for clean -up and remediation of former
City of Yakima municipal landfill has begun. The City has entered into the Voluntary
Cleanup Program with the Department of Ecology (DOE). The City has submitted the
remedial investigation report to DOE and will soon be developing a feasibility study that
will detail the cleanup requirements
♦ Projected completion date: Fair Avenue Roundabout completion: 1st Quarter 2016.
Landfill cleanup, IJR approval, East -West Corridor and remainder of the North -South
Boulevard are all pending.
North Is'
— `N' Street to SR -12 (Phase I
In 2010, the City received a $25,000 planning grant through Yakima County SIED funding for
the first segment of this project; a comprehensive approach to planning for future improvements
to North First Street from "A" Street to the US- 12/I -82 Interchange. The North First Street
Improvement Study was performed in 2011 to develop a design and action plan to address
potential arterial street design alternates including an analysis of resulting traffic flow,
streetscape and landscape improvements, and required utility upgrades. The final study
document was adopted by City Council on October 11, 2011.
2
The City applied for, and received a $250,000 Surface Transportation Program (STP) federal
grant for preliminary engineering on August 23, 2012. In January of 2013, the City was awarded
$2,718,000 for the construction of Phase 1. A professional services agreement was entered into
with HDJ Design Group to develop the engineering plans and construction specifications. The
engineering plans and construction specifications have been completed. Approval of the
environmental documentation is ongoing. Originally, it was anticipated that the project would
bid in the spring of 2015. We have since been informed that the STP construction funds will not
be available until 2019. Emphasis will be placed on relocating /under - grounding of overhead
utilities, as well as safety and improving the appearance of the corridor.
Phase 2: `N' Street to MLK Jr. Blvd., construction is estimated to be $10,000,000 and was
planned to be funded by a City of Yakima bond. We interviewed consulting firms to perform the
design and Huibregtse Louman and Associates (HLA) was selected to perform the design for us.
They have started their work and should be completed towards the end of 2016. Due to the
amount of work included in Phase 2, and the amount of impacts that it will have to traffic,
businesses and private utilities, it has been determined to split Phase 2 into two phases. Phase 2A
will perform the construction from MLK Boulevard to `I' Street, and is anticipated for
construction in 2017. Phase 2B will perform the construction from `I' Street to `N' Street and is
anticipated for construction in 2018. We applied for and were successful in receiving a
$1,500,000 grant from the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) for the Phase 2 project.
Both phases of this work will be included in a 2018 FASTLANE federal grant application.
♦ Projected completion dates: FY2018 (and later)
West Valley Middle School Improvements
The improvements include installing a traffic signal at the intersection of S. 72nd Avenue and
Mead Avenue, and constructing sidewalk on the south side of Zier Road from S. 72nd to 75th

Wastewater Division Capital Improvements Projects
Billy's Pond and floodplain Enhancement Proiect
The purpose of this project is to ensure successfully meeting the goals of the original 2013 Billy's
Pond Restoration project. This original project was intended to provide diverse and complex
floodplain habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species by increasing total area of high quality wetland
and riparian areas; and better utilization of site topography and groundwater conditions. The net
outcome of the project was intended to be an increase in open waters and wetlands, as well as
enhanced emergent and riparian areas adjacent to the Yakima River. Additionally, the project
provided floodplain restoration and connectivity with the Yakima River as well as fish passage for
salmonids and other native fish. Aquatic habitat functions and services were expanded and improved
from the previous state. The project was also intended to create an opportunity to restore some of the
river's natural physical and ecological processes to the floodway and floodplain.
Much of the original work was successful in achieving the goals of the 2013 restoration project.
The purpose of current work is addressed below:
Increase pond flow - through. The 2013 Billy's Pond restoration project included removal of culverts
and a weir structure at the pond outlet channel. The existing manmade ditch that drained the pond
was backfilled with clean fill and a new outlet channel was excavated to remove the fish passage
barrier. The new excavated channel was not dug deep enough at the inlet to provide flow - through
from the pond and through the channel to the Yakima River. This channel will be dug down an
additional 8 to 12 inches below existing grade adjacent to where the channel meets the pond.
Enhancement of wetland and riparian vegetation in southern pond aspects. The above -water
constructed habitat that was created for vegetation growth did not succeed and will be contoured
to support vegetation growth. The constructed peninsulas and hummock in the southern portion
of the pond will be excavated as funding allows. Lower elevations will create better equipment
and crew access for replanting activities and reduce depth to the water table for planted riparian
shrubs and trees. Where soil is not excavated in replanting areas around the pond, planting
techniques will be used to allow plant roots to access deep groundwater, such as augering holes
and installing tall container plants of vigorously- rooting species. Live stakes and emergent
species will be planted at the pond edge.
Stabilize oodplain with native buncate h Approximately 42 acres of the floodplain will be
replanted with native bunchgrasses. Soils will be decompacted where necessary prior to seeding.
Following native grass seeding, weeds will be controlled to promote grass establishment.
Contouring -or remove soil piles. The previous project left soil piles on the floodplain, adjacent
to the pond, which is a source of weeds that will continually infest the floodplain without
treatment. The soil piles were created from material excavated from channels leading to the pond
and from new outfall channels created for the wastewater treatment plant. These piles will be
contoured to allow equipment access for soil stabilization measures of weed control and
reseeding with native bunchgrasses.
Project status. Project is awarded to Wildlands Inc, expected to be complete Mid - November
2016, barring any extreme weather conditions. The project is on schedule.
H.,
The construction work to improve Billy's Pond flow - through is complete. Whether the work is
successful will be determined next year (2017) by monitoring pond depths and temperatures.
Contouring Billy's Pond is complete. All peninsulas and hummock in the southern portion were
excavated and planting benches were constructed. The constructed areas have been planted with
native riparian vegetation and beaver fencing is under construction to protect the newly planted
areas at the southern end of the pond and peninsula.
Floodplain contouring and de- compacting the ground in preparation for seeding is complete.
Contractor is scheduled to apply the native grass seed mix to approximately 42 acres in early
November 2016.
♦ Projected completion: 4th Quarter FY2018
Pipe Rehabilitation — General
The Wastewater Division will be identifying pipeline segments that need to be rehabilitated or
replaced. In addition, the project will address access issues by installing new manholes in streets
where otherwise access for performing maintenance is insufficient. The project timing and size
will be dependent on funding available for the project. Final scope of the project will be
determined after a cost evaluation. Budget has been approved to start a pipeline rehabilitation
program to address the old and deteriorating wastewater collection system. The program will
consist of pipe and manhole rehabilitation and replacement along with addressing access issues
throughout the city. Scoping activities are under way. Construction will be ongoing having
started in the 1st Quarter this year until the system conditions are addressed. The project will
stabilize current conditions of the pipe system and reduce infiltration of groundwater which will
save treatment costs in the future and limit the need for upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
Wastewater has identified pipelines for cured -in -place point repairs, 16 point repairs have been
installed by city wastewater crews so far in 2016.
♦ Projected completion date: on -going
Collection System Plan Update & Initial Stormwater Comp Plan, Wastewater Facility Plan
With the adoption of the new stormwater regulations a comprehensive Stormwater System Plan
is needed and will be implemented along with the Wastewater Facility and Collection System
Plan Update.
Akel Engineering Group, Inc. has completed capacity models for both systems and completed a
capital projects priority projection based upon the capacity model.
Design of stormwater improvements for N. 1st Street and Randall Park projects are under way
The FCS Group completed a Wastewater and Stormwater rate structure and a wholesale
customer billing model that meets the specifications of the 3 -Party Wholesale Service
Agreement.
9
The last Wastewater Facility Plan was completed in February 2004. This project updates the
current facility plan by providing current information on the existing wastewater facility and
collection system infrastructure, regulatory requirements, future loadings, operation and
maintenance, future capital improvements, rate structure and revenue forecasting. The updated
facility plan will incorporate the completed Akel collection system and stormwater system
documents. Division staff are evaluating the draft 2013 Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility
Plan for potential completion.
♦ Projected completion date: FY2018
Speedway Interceptor and Beech Street Lift Station PMiect:
The existing 36 inch gravity sewer interceptor located between Beech Street and Nob Hill on the
west side of I -82 is currently experiencing excessive sedimentation due to flat and adverse pipe
slopes with slow fluid speeds and intermittent reverse flows. As part of the 2013 wastewater
Master Plan, improvements to that interceptor were identified. The improvements include a
force main installed through the existing 36 inch pipe as well as the construction of a new lift
station on Beech Street south of Kiwanis Park. Flows currently reaching the Race Street lift
station will be redirected in following phases at Beech and 15th and be redirected into the new lift
station. The Race Street lift station will then be decommissioned. The project will allow for
conveyance of existing flows at higher speeds as well as provide a mechanism for expanding
service to the Boise Cascade Mill Site region without increasing the sedimentation problem as
flows from that area develop. It will also allow for construction of improvements that will
eliminate existing bottlenecks in the sewer interceptor system west of Washington Middle
School.
Included in this project will be minor upgrades to the electrical elements of the Rudkin Road lift
station and installation of an emergency bypass connection along with modifications to the
existing junction box at the intersection of Rudkin Road and East Viola Ave.
RI-12 Engineering has been selected as the design consultant. The professional services contract
has been completed and designs are currently under way. Rudkin Road Lift Station
Improvements will be completed by the end of 2016 or early 2017. The Speedway Interceptor
and Beech Street Lift Station Project is projected to start construction in summer of 2017.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GOALS & WIM /DBE PARTICIPATION
W/M/DBE utilization has been included in the past but is not included with this report.
The Engineering Division continues to request apparent low bidders of public works contracts to
document their efforts to achieve the City of Yakima's goal of 10% MBE, WBE or DBE
participation goal prior to contract award. However, changes in state law due to the passage of
Initiative 200 prohibit certain practices by contracting agencies (i.e. the City) for the award of
public works projects such as requiring W/M/DBE subcontracting. While some contractors have
voluntarily reported such information in the past, we have not received any such reporting last
year.
Although we do not receive such information voluntarily, the City must still meet certain of these
federal requirements and each contractor must comply with the Standard Specifications that are
included on each City Public Works Contract. The City is responsible to:
• Conduct pre - construction conferences during which EEO and City policies are discussed
with the contractor.
• Monitor on -site compliance with the EEO and City policies.
• Ensure our contractors locate, qualify, and increase the skills of minority groups, women
employees, and applicants for employment as required by City policies.
• Ensure the preparation of required EEO and related reports.
