SUBJECT. • 2016 Capital Improvement Projects: 4th Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Report is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
proj ects for the 4th 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 sidewalk was
completed in October. Placement of the lighting fixtures within the "Bins of Light" are still
being modified, but it is anticipated that this will be completed soon and the "Bins" will be
operational by mid-March.
♦ 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 two-day Interchange Justification Report (UR) Workshop was held in November 2016
for the key stakeholders. During this workshop, it was determined to advance a Modified
2C Alternative as the preferred alternative. A final draft of the UR is being prepared for
distribution in January 2017, with approval of the UR scheduled for February 2017. 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. In mid-December 2016, the
City supplemented the professional services agreement with Lochner to complete the
design of Bravo Company Boulevard from where it currently ends to its connection with
`H' Street at the intersection of 7th Street.
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. The DOE is pushing the City to enter into an
Agreed Order for the cleanup of the site, which is being reviewed by the City's Legal
Team
♦ Projected completion dates
• Fair Avenue Roundabout completed: 1st Quarter 2016.
• UR Approval: 1st Quarter 2017.
• Landfill cleanup, East-West Corridor and remainder of the North-South Boulevard
are all pending.

North 1st Street Corridor Revitalization — `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 now,
streetscape and landscape improvements, and required utility upgrades. The final study
document was adopted by City Council on October 11, 2011.
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 are included in a 2017 FASTLANE federal grant application that was
submitted on December 18, 2016.
♦ 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

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 proj ect 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 floodplain with native buncatm h Approximately 42 acres of the floodplain will
be replanted with native bunchgrasses. Soils will be de -compacted 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.
Proiect status.
Overall project is substantially complete.
7
Wildlands, Inc. will return in spring to do seeding maintenance & site evaluations thru 2017
The construction work to improve Billy's Pond flow-through is complete.
Success of work completed will be determined by monitoring pond depths & 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; 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 was scheduled to apply the native grass seed mix to approximately
42 acres in 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.
Completed in 2016:
• 21 point repairs installed by city wastewater crews
• 2400 feet of sewer pipe rehabilitation completed
• 48 manhole repair/replacements
♦ 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.
8
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.
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 is 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.
• This portion of the project is scheduled to be completed early 2017.
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.
♦ Projected completion date: FY2018 (?)

Stormwater Capital Improvements Projects
DID #29 Reroute:
The drainage improvement district (DID) #29 pipe collapsed underneath a home at 320 N. 29th
Avenue. A construction project rerouted the drain line out to 29th Avenue and then north to an
existing DID manhole.
The project was awarded to Tri -Valley Construction, Inc. for the low bid amount of $51,927.29
in November 2016. Funding for the project was from the Stormwater Capital Fund. Construction
was substantially completed in December 2016, with a small amount of revegetation work to be
completed in spring of 2017.
♦ Projected completion date: FY2017
49th Avenue Draina,-e
This project will install curb and gutter between 48th and 50th Avenues on Englewood Avenue
and upsize existing drain lines on both Englewood Avenue and N. 49th Avenue to improve
drainage and prevent flooding during future storm events. This project will be funded through
the Stormwater Capital Fund. Design of this project has begun and construction is anticipated for
the spring of 2017.
♦ Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY 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.
