CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
West Nob Hill Blvd, 49 Avenue to 64 Avenue
This project consists of widening the roadway to five lanes, with curb, gutter, sidewalk and street
lighting. Granite Construction began work on this project on July 23 It was hoped that the
final lift of paving could occur during the early part of November, 2012. Due to the cold, rainy
and overcast conditions of early November, paving had to be postponed to the spring of 2013.
Paving of this project is scheduled for early to mid April.
♦ Project completion date: 2nd Quarter FY2013.
Railroad Grade Separations; Lincoln Avenue (& Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd)
1 Street to 1 Avenue; Phase 2 (MLK: Phase 3)
Phase 2, Lincoln Avenue: This project consisted of re- constructing Lincoln Avenue so the
roadway passes beneath the existing BNSF railroad tracks. It includes a bridge for Front Street
that passes over Lincoln Avenue. Phase 1 of this project, which relocated utilities for both
underpasses, was completed in the fall of 2007. Phase 2 of this project, which constructs the
Lincoln Avenue underpass, was awarded to Apollo, Inc. of Kennewick, on February 3, 2010.
Construction began in March of 2010. The underpass was opened to traffic on May 7, 2012. The
Contractor is finalizing the last touches to the storm drainage pumping system. Once approval of
the pump station has been given, the project will be closed out.
♦ Projected completion date for Lincoln Avenue Underpass: 1 Quarter FY2013.

facilities, a volleyball court, a basketball court, a skate park, a playground, a
concession /restroom, new sidewalk and pathways, and parking. Funding includes $500,000 from
a Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) State grant, $500,000 from Yakima School District
for field lighting, plus funding from various local service clubs. Sun Yakima LLC purchased the
property adjacent to the existing Kiwanis Park, cleared the property and donated the property to
the City of Yakima. The skate park was constructed with funds donated by the Apple Valley
Kiwanis Club. The playground was purchased and installed by Downtown Yakima Rotary. The
basketball court has been constructed with funds donated by Yakima Southwest Rotary. A
30'x30' covered picnic shelter was constructed with funds donated by Sunrise Rotary. A project
that constructed parking spaces and sidewalk connecting the walkway from Fair Avenue to
Gateway Park along Maple Street was recently completed at a cost of $123,000. A $45,000
project that prepared the site for future work was completed in April, 2011. Construction is
nearly complete for the ball fields, field lighting, the pedestrian pathway and west parking lot.
The low bidder was Stephens and Sons Construction, Inc., with a bid of $1,274,122.70. The
concession /restroom building was constructed by the local service clubs. The new fields were
dedicated on October 13 The project has been completed; however, the Contractor is still
required to perform some mowings and fertilizations of the ball fields.
♦ Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter FY2012
South 64 Avenue Roadway Widening: Nob Hill Blvd to Tieton Drive
2
This project will widen this section of 64 Avenue to a 39 -foot roadway (14'- 11' -14') with curb
and gutter on both sides of the road, and a 7 -foot sidewalk on one side of the road. Street lighting
and a stormwater runoff treatment system will also be constructed. The project is funded by a
$900,000 Surface Transportation Program (STP) federal grant and $200,000 mitigation from the
Wal -Mart Development Project.
Environmental documentation for this project was approved in June of this year. Right of way
acquisition is close to being finished the project is scheduled to bid in March.

Ortman Trail, vicinity Willow Street
This project will construct a paved pathway that will connect the Powerhouse Canal Trail at 14
Avenue & Swan Avenue to the William O. Douglas Trail on 6 Avenue at "I" Street. Once this
project is completed, the Powerhouse Trail, Ortman Trail, William O. Douglas Trail and Yakima
Greenway will be connected and complete a 6.5 -mile loop. The project is funded by a
Transportation Enhancement Grant (Federal) of $283,278. The project was advertised for
bidders in August, but the bids were higher than the remaining budget. The project was rebid on
January 24 and bids will be opened on February 14
♦ Projected completion date: 3 Quarter FY2013.
Yakima Sawmill Redevelopment
Staff and consultant planning and design has begun on the multi - phased redevelopment of the
former sawmill and plywood plant. Public funding sources include a commitment from the State
of Washington in 2009 for up to $25 million of tax increment financing and a SLED loan in the
amount of $500,000 from Yakima County to provide for the engineering design of new roads and
utilities. The City and sawmill property owners are developing a master plan for over 200 acres
of interstate frontage property to include retail - commercial, office- medical, light industrial,
residential and open recreation space. The City has contracted with a consultant team led by
H.W. Lochner Engineers to develop and design the Cascade Mill Parkway, which will extend
from Lincoln Avenue to `R' Street.
Yakima County has also contracted with the consultant team led by H.W. Lochner Engineers for
the development of an East -West Corridor that will extend from 1 Street in Yakima easterly to
Butterfield Road in Terrace Heights, and the development of an Interchange Justification Report
to modify the Yakima Avenue and Fair Avenue interchanges. The consultant team began the
design and surveying for these projects in October, 2011. A TIGER -IV Grant application was
submitted for but was not awarded to this project.
♦ Project completion date: To Be Determined.
River Road Widening & Reconstruction: 6th Avenue to 16 Avenue
3
Last year, in a financial partnership with Washington Fruit Company and Yakima School
Districts' Stanton Academy, we applied for and received a grant of $639,000 from the
Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) for a total project of $1.42 Million.
As Washington Fruit and Stanton were on the cusp of building frontage improvements for their
respective roadway frontages due to their recent developments, they were highly receptive to
financially partnering with the City on the grant application so the entire length of River Road
from 6 Avenue to 16 Avenue could be widened and reconstructed for the community when
their financial participation was incorporated.
River Road will be reconstructed from a two -lane, 21 -foot wide, roadway with dirt shoulders to a
three -lane roadway, 40 feet wide, providing extra -wide lanes for a shared bike lane with higher
truck maneuverability. We will also be adding curb, gutter and sidewalk. (None exists today).
This 2,600 -foot section of roadway will receive lighting for the project length and all commercial
driveways in- between. We have acquired the necessary right of way, and will bid in late
February /early March.
♦ Project completion date: 3 Quarter FY 2013
North 1 Street Corridor Revitalization — `N' Street to SR -12
In 2010, the City received a $25,000 planning grant through Yakima County SLED 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 took place last year 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
completed late summer 2011.
The City applied for, and received a $250,000 Surface Transportation Program (STP) federal
grant for preliminary engineering on August 23, 2012. On January the City was awarded
$2,718,000 for the construction of this project. The topographic survey has been completed and
the design has begun.

technologies and potential costs associated with the various options. A final summary report was
also provided, outlining recommendations for Yakima, Selah and Nob Hill. Yakima worked with
two vendors to install pilot systems (20 meters each near YVCC). A $5 million PWTF loan has
been approved. The Request for Proposal (RFP) process has been completed and a vendor
selected. Contract negotiations are underway with the selected vendor and installation of the new
system is expected to begin 1 Quarter 2013.
♦ Project completion date: 4 Quarter 2013
Kissel Park Well Repair
The lighting storm in late July, 2012 caused damage to both the electrical control panel and the
well pump motor at the Kissel Park Well. This well is used as a backup domestic water supply
when the water plant cannot meet the water system demands. When the well was constructed in
1993, surge protection was not recommended by the electrical engineer or installed as part of the
project since lighting has not historically been a major issue in the Yakima Valley. Even today,
most facilities do not require surge protection except for computer type equipment.
This project provides for the replacement of the motor starter; installation of a surge protector;
removal of the well pump and motor; and repairing or replacing the motor. As this event was
specifically excluded from insurance coverage, this repair is being funded using water capital
reserves.
Picatti Bros., Inc. of Union Gap, WA has removed the motor and it is currently being evaluated
for repair or replacement. If the motor needs to be replaced, it could be up to 30 weeks before it
is available.
♦ Project completion date: 4 Quarter 2013.

Levee set back Project, Greenwav Trail Re -route and new Wastewater Outfall
Staff continues to be involved in the Gap to Gap project for flood plain restoration which will
include the Wastewater Treatment Plant to develop a new wastewater outfall. Staff will help
Yakima County select consulting team to conduct NEPA/SEPA review of overall Gap to Gap
proj ect.
Location of new outfall strategy is being reviewed by Department of Ecology. Currently the old
Wastewater spray field is being evaluated as a riparian outfall. An engineering report for
alternatives like this will be developed and submitted to Ecology for approval. A consultant,
Ridolfi Inc., was selected to develop this floodplain restoration plan in September 2011. Ridolfi
has been notified to proceed with the second phase of the project, which will involve developing
a specific design of the outfall and an engineering report for Ecology review /approval.
♦ Phase I Project completion date: 4 Quarter FY2013. The State Salmon Recovery Funding
Board has awarded the City a $275,400 grant for completion of Phase I of the project.
♦ State Salmon Recovery funding board has awarded the project and additional $209,620
♦ Pre - design engineering report for project complete and 95% design complete. Permits for
Army Corps of Engineers, and State Department of Fish and Wildlife have been submitted.
♦ Waiting for results of state grant application for "319" program money.
♦ "Pirate Plunder Adventure Race" Course is part of design criteria for new trail area
♦ Constructing a noise barrier berm with on site material to complement new Greenway Trail
route and shelter site from freeway noise.
Struvite Project
Project provides the ability to produce struvite in a cost effective manner as a marketable
fertilizer product which is rich in phosphorus while reducing the amount of phosphorus in the
plant effluent discharged to the Yakima River. The project consisted of the installation of
equipment in the existing biosolids building.
♦ Project was completed: 4 Quarter FY2012.
Boiler Replacement Project
8
Project will replace an existing boiler and add one boiler for additional capacity required by the
Industrial Waste Reactor (UASB Project). Project will also improve gas and hot water piping
systems to increase reliability and reduce maintenance of the system. Boilers have been procured
and delivered to the site. The boilers have been installed and are currently being commissioned.
♦ Project completion date: 1st Quarter FY2013.
Industrial UASB Reactor and North End Power Distribution System Upgrade Project
This project will allow the City to treat high BOD industrial waste streams, like we get from Del
Monte, directly in the new UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor opening up
additional capacity for other domestic waste streams. The UASB reactor will also generate
additional methane gas for use in a future sludge dryer project which is will begin the preliminary
engineering phase 1st Quarter 2013.
The project also includes upgrading the power distribution system for the North end of the
treatment plant to improve reliability and future expandability. Much of this electrical gear in
this area was installed in the 1960's and has reached the end of its useful life. A similar project
for the South end of the plant was completed in 2009.
A new Industrial Waste Pump Station is included as part of this project to complete this part of
the project to make room for the new North End Power Distribution Building. Additionally,
mechanical mixers in the existing aeration basins for enhanced biological phosphorus removal
are being installed with this contract.
Project has been awarded to Columbia Energy and Environmental services Overall; the project is
30% complete. The new Industrial pump station will be operational in January of 2013. The
UASB reactor is scheduled to e on -line in July of 2013. The North end electrical improvements
are scheduled for completion by December 2013.
♦ Project completion date: 4 Quarter FY2013.
Fine Screen Project:
Project will enable the plant to comply with the new biosolids regulations requiring a minimum
of 3/8 aperture screens to reduce manufactured inerts in the biosolids generated at the facility.
The project is currently in design and expected to be bid in 2013. Timing is dependent upon
funding availability.
Project includes the installation of two secondary fine screens located downstream of the existing
grit tanks and the associated washer /compactors.
♦ Project is currently on hold due to funding. The scope of the project is being reviewed and
evaluated to see if requirements can be met in a more economical manner.
Grease Receiving Project:
9
Project will enable the City to accept brown grease from the community and pump it directly into
a digester. The goal for this project is to enhance the methane gas production in order to reduce
the natural gas requirement for the future biosolids dryer project. An additional benefit is to
reduce the amount of grease being discharged into the collection system line. The reduction of
grease into the collection system lines will reduce required cleaning activities for City staff and
the number of sewer back -ups due to grease accumulation.
Kennedy Jenks is under contract to design this system. The project is currently in the
preliminary design phase which is scheduled to be completed in February 2013. If determined to
be feasible and economically sustainable, final design will begin first Quarter of 2013, and
construction in 2014.
♦ Project completion date: Preliminary Design 1st Quarter FY2013.
Biosolids Dryer Project:
Project will enable the plant to produce a marketable Class A exceptional quality biosolids for
use as a fertilizer. The Pharmer /CDM -Smith en team was selected for the design of this
process. Design expected to be completed in 2" Qtr 2014. Construction to be completed in the
third Quarter 2015.
♦ Project completion date: Design 2nd Quarter FY2014.
Stormwater Capital Improvements Projects
Yakima Underground Injection Control (UIC) / Water Quality Retrofits
This project will design and construct prototype Underground Injection Control (UIC) retrofits to
the City's' existing 436 UIC facilities. The Department of Ecology is providing a grant of
$280,000 for the development of different methods to retrofit existing facilities & structures.
OTAK, Inc. was selected as the lead consultant to assist the City with this project. A draft
technical memorandum has been written which proposes a method to assess relative risk to
groundwater from stormwater dry wells.
♦ Project completion date: 4 Quarter FY2014.
Fair Avenue / South 33 Avenue — Drainage Improvements
This project will allow the City to remove two connections where stormwater drains were
connected to the City's wastewater lines. The drainage will be pre- treated to remove sediment
and oils and then infiltrated into the ground in underground infiltration trenches.
• Project completed October 2012.
Englewood Avenue — Drainage Improvements
10
Several homes on the south side of Englewood Avenue in the vicinity of N. 54 Avenue and
several homes along Douglas Drive in this area have been subject to repeated flooding over the
years due to a lack of adequate drainage facilities in the area. This project proposes to install
necessary stormwater drainage facilities on Englewood Avenue, pipe the runoff due south to
Douglas Drive, and infiltrate the water into the ground through the use of a long and narrow
infiltration trench near the north curb line on Douglas Drive.
Permanent drainage easements were obtained from two parcels to allow the installation of storm
drain pipe from Englewood Ave. to Douglas Drive.
• Project completed November 2012.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GOALS & W/M /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.
