CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
West Nob Hill Blvd, 49 Avenue to 64 Avenue
This project consisted of widening the roadway to five lanes, with curb, gutter, sidewalk and
street lighting. Granite Construction began work on this project in July, 2012. The project was
to have been completed during the early part of November, 2012. However, due to weather
delays, paving had to be postponed to the spring of 2013. All work has been completed.
♦ Project completed
Railroad Grade Separations; Phase 3: Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd 1 St. toe Ave.
This project consists of re- constructing MLK Jr. Blvd. so the roadway will pass beneath the
existing BNSF railroad tracks in the same manner as the recently constructed Lincoln Avenue
underpass. The scope of work includes a bridge for Front Street that will pass over MLK Jr.
Blvd. Bids were opened in November, 2012 and Mowat Construction Company of Woodinville,
WA was the low bidder at $10,634,867.95. The contract was executed on January 25, 2013, and
construction began in March, 2013. KBA, Inc., from Bellevue was selected to perform the
inspection and contract administration. The work is progressing well. The BNSF Bridge has
been completed and rail traffic was routed onto the bridge on November 18 The secant pile
retaining wall west of the BNSF Bridge is close to completion and the drilled bottom seal should
be completed around Christmas. The work should be completed in the 3 quarter of 2014, with
contract closeout to be completed by the end of 2014.
♦ Projected completion: 4 Quarter FY2014

project is completed, the Powerhouse Trail, Ortman Trail, William O. Douglas Trail and Yakima
Greenway are connected and form a 6.5 -mile loop. The project was funded by a Transportation
Enhancement Grant (Federal) of $283,278.
♦ Projected completed
Cascade Mill Redevelopment Project
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 an estimated 4500 light
manufacturing, office park, commercial, retail and entertainment jobs. The city has contracted
with Lochner and Associates to provide engineering and design services for streets, infrastructure
and I -82 interchange modifications. Partnerships in this project include Yakima County,
WSDOT, Federal Highway, Yakima County Development Association (YCDA) and the Yakima
valley Conference of Government (YVCOG). The City and County have committed an
investment of over $4 million in early planning, design, and permitting efforts in order to develop
the shovel ready projects.
The current status of the project includes:
1. Interchange Justification Report Study, (approved by FHWA in May of 2013) underway
to improve freeway access to I -82 and Cascade Mill site as well as connect to the County
"East -West Corridor Road" — Yakima County project lead. NEPA review currently under
preparation.
2. Design of the Cascade Mill Parkway (a North to South City Boulevard -type Street that
will provide access to the mill site and include three roundabouts for intersections. City of
Yakima project lead. The roundabout at Fair Avenue and Cascade Mill Parkway will be
the first construction project and will improve safety as well as provide access into the
redevelopment area for landfill clean -up.
3. Preliminary Design and alignment of "East -West Corridor Road" — Yakima County
project lead. The existing H Street corridor will be improved from North 1 Street to 7th
Street as part of this project. NEPA review currently under preparation.
4. Grant funding research, permitting and options for clean -up and remediation of former
City of Yakima municipal landfill has begun with Department of Ecology.
♦ Projected completion date: LIFT supported construction bond to be issued in 2017
River Road Widening & Reconstruction: 6th Avenue to 16 Avenue
In 2011, in a financial partnership with Washington Fruit Company and Yakima School Districts'
Stanton Academy, the City received a grant of $639,000 from the Freight Mobility Strategic
Investment Board (FMSIB) for a total project of $1.42 Million.
3
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 was 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. Curb, gutter and sidewalk, lighting and commercial driveways were
constructed. Granite Construction was the low responsive bidder and began work in June 2013.
The construction work is complete, however contract closeout continues.
♦ Project completed: 3 Quarter 2013
North 1st 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 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. On January the City was awarded
$2,718,000 for the construction of this project. A topographic survey has been completed. A
landscape design consultant is being utilized to assist the city in preparation of the engineering
plans. Preparation of engineering plans and construction specification will be completed by a
private firm, to be contracted in 20144. Emphasis will be placed on under - grounding of utilities,
as well as safety and improving the appearance of the corridor. Two additional construction
phases have been identified for this project.
• Phase 2: North 1 Street from N Street to H Street (2,500') at an estimated
$3,500,000 in construction costs. Potential construction in 2017.
• Phase 3: North 1 Street from H Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
(2,800') at an estimated construction cost of $4,000,000. Potential construction in
2019.

Wastewater Division Capital Improvements Projects
Second Phase of the Speedway Race Street Interceptor
The Engineering Division awarded the project to POW Construction to construct the second phase
of the Speedway Interceptor Line. Work was completed in March 2013. The Beech Street Lift
Station has been decommissioned.
♦ Project completed
Industrial Wastewater Line Extension
Wastewater division is actively pursuing the separation of high strength food process water
(industrial waste) from the domestic sanitary sewer collection and treatment process. To serve
existing and future food processing businesses the existing Industrial Waste line is being
extended. Phase III to Noel Canning and Jewel Fruit. Huibregtse Louman Associates (HLA) will
provide construction administration, design, and inspection. Construction will begin March 2014
when Noel canning is shut down for upgrades. As part of constructing the new IW pipe, four
sections of domestic sewer main will be re -lined to add structural stability to the deteriorated pipe.

Tieton Drive 38 Avenue to 40th Avenue
The sanitary sewer line in Tieton Drive between 38 Avenue and 40 Avenue was replaced.
Contract documents were created by HLA Engineering. Low responsive bidder was TTC
Construction of Yakima. Since this section of roadway was included in the City's Resurfacing
Project, the pipeline had to be replaced prior to the pavement work starting. The work was
required to be completed prior to June 28 2013.
♦ Projecte completed: June 25, 2013
Pipe Rehabilitation — General
The wastewater division will be identifying pipeline segments that may be rehabilitated through
manhole to manhole cured in place pipe repair. Eight lines have been identified to date as
candidates. The project timing and size will be dependent on funding available for the project.
Wastewater Division has identified pipelines for cured in place point repairs and has begun
project specifications and descriptions for the pipe repairs. Final scope of the project will be
determined after a cost review.
♦ Projected completion date: on -going
Wastewater Facility TMDL (Struvite) Project
When fully constructed this project will begin reducing nutrient concentrations in the wastewater
effluent discharged to the Yakima River as required by the Department of Ecology. The
construction includes the fabrication and installation of a reactor to harvest phosphorous and the
installation of eight (8) mixers in the aeration basins to augment nutrient removal through the
reactors. We received Ecology approval on 7/11/2011.
The Struvite reactors have been installed and are in operation. The mixers have been installed
and tested in the Aeration Basins. The new process configuration using the mixers to remove
phosphorus will be initiated November, 2013.
The Struvite reactors provide the ability to produce struvite in a cost effective manner as a
marketable fertilizer product which is rich in phosphorus. The mixers allow the plant to operate
a Biological Phosphorus removal process which reduces 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 and aeration basins.
♦ Projected Completion: 4th Quarter FY2013.
Wastewater Facility, Collection System Plan Update & initial Stormwater Comp Plan
The last Wastewater Facility Plan was completed in February 2004. This project will update 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.
With the adoption of the new Storm water Regulations a comprehensive Storm water 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 preparing a
prioritized listing of projects based on existing flows and future capacity needs.
Tom Coleman has updated the treatment plant facility plan with input from several on -going
projects and studies along with the comprehensive sewer plan from Akel Engineering.
Final edits are currently in progress.
♦ Completion of final document for submission to ecology expected in 4 Quarter 2013

Levee set back Project, Greenway 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. Yakima County
selected a consulting team to conduct NEPA/SEPA review of overall Gap to Gap project.
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., is working on the design of 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. This
was increased to $375,400 when bids came in higher than anticipated by local Fish and
Wildlife Recovery Board staff.
♦ State Salmon Recovery funding board has awarded the project an 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.

♦ "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.
* Phase II of project is tentatively planned for bid advertisement in early 2014
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 the waste stream
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 in the preliminary
engineering phase.
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
were installed with this contract.
9
Project was awarded to Columbia Energy and Environmental Services. The UASB and Pump
Station have been installed and commissioned. The contractor is working on punch list items.
The North end electrical improvements are about 70 percent complete and currently scheduled
for completion by the end of February 2014.
♦ Projected completion date: 1 Quarter FY2014
Fine Screen Project:
Project will enable the plant to comply with the new biosolids regulations requiring a maximum
of 3/8 aperture screens to reduce manufactured inerts in the biosolids generated at the facility.
The project design was halted due to funding limitations. An alternative to meet the regulations
is being pursued. This approach includes replacing the existing 1 /2" aperture bars in the screens
with 3/8" and rebuilding the drive units and washer compactors.
Pricing from the original manufacturer has been requested and expected to be received in early
December 2013. One washer compactor has been rebuilt and parts for the second are being
procured.
♦ Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter 2014.
Grease Receiving Project:
Project was envisioned to allow 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 completed the study report in July 2013. The report concludes that the project is
not sustainable without certainty that the grease haulers will bring the brown grease to the
treatment plant. Therefore, it has been decided not to move ahead with this effort at this time.
♦ Project completion date: 2nd 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 engineering team was selected for the design of this
process.
We have developed the specification for the dryer equipment purchase which is scheduled to bid
in December 2013. After an equipment manufacturer is selected, the design of the dryer building
and other utility and infrastructure support components will be completed/

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.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
West Nob Hill Blvd, 49 Avenue to 64 Avenue
This project consisted of widening the roadway to five lanes, with curb, gutter, sidewalk and
street lighting. Granite Construction began work on this project in July, 2012. The project was
to have been completed during the early part of November, 2012. However, due to weather
delays, paving had to be postponed to the spring of 2013. All work has been completed.
♦ Project completed
Railroad Grade Separations; Phase 3: Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd 1 St. toe Ave.
This project consists of re- constructing MLK Jr. Blvd. so the roadway will pass beneath the
existing BNSF railroad tracks in the same manner as the recently constructed Lincoln Avenue
underpass. The scope of work includes a bridge for Front Street that will pass over MLK Jr.
Blvd. Bids were opened in November, 2012 and Mowat Construction Company of Woodinville,
WA was the low bidder at $10,634,867.95. The contract was executed on January 25, 2013, and
construction began in March, 2013. KBA, Inc., from Bellevue was selected to perform the
inspection and contract administration. The work is progressing well. The BNSF Bridge has
been completed and rail traffic was routed onto the bridge on November 18 The secant pile
retaining wall west of the BNSF Bridge is close to completion and the drilled bottom seal should
be completed around Christmas. The work should be completed in the 3 quarter of 2014, with
contract closeout to be completed by the end of 2014.
♦ Projected completion: 4 Quarter FY2014

2013 City -wide Street Resurfacing Project
Also known as the Grind and Overlay project, this project resurfaced of various arterial streets
throughout the city. The scope of work included pavement repair, resurfacing, replacement of
limited areas of failed roadway, construction of ADA ramps and pavement markings. The
contract duration was 90 days with a schedule completion in late October of 2013.
Columbia Asphalt and Gravel Inc. was the low responsive bidder and was awarded the contract.
The majority of the work was done at night to minimize the impact on travelling public and
adjacent businesses. The following streets were included:
• S. Fair Avenue, Mead to Pacific Avenue
• E. Nob Hill Blvd., 1 Street to Fair Avenue
• S. 1 Street, Nob Hill Blvd. to Mead Avenue
• E. Washington Avenue, 1 Street to East City Limits
• S. 64 Avenue, Occidental to Washington Avenue
• N. 16 Avenue, Englewood to north of Madison Avenue
• E. Walnut Street, 1 Street to 6 Street
• Tieton Drive, 32 to 40 Avenues
• Summitview, 48 to 56 Avenues
• 40 Avenue, Summitview to Tieton Drive
♦ Projected completion: 4 Quarter FY2013
Yakima Valley Trolley Barn & Museum Preservation
Using State Enhancement funds, the City purchased the historic Yakima Valley Transportation
Company Trolley Repair Barn and Substation on January 31, 2008. Environmental
documentation approval was received to make repairs to the west and south walls and crane
system. Repairs to the crane inside the barn, and to the south and west walls of the Trolley Barn
have been completed. Some funding still remains and will be used to remove and replace
approximates 120 feet of bad track starting in the south lane of Yakima Avenue and continuing to
the south along 6 Avenue.
♦ Projected completion: 3 Quarter FY2014
South 64 Avenue Roadway Widening: Nob Hill Blvd to Tieton Drive
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 storm water 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 2012. Right of way
acquisition is now complete. The project will be advertised for bids in December of 2013 with
construction anticipated to begin in February 2014.
♦ Project completion: 3 Quarter FY2014
2
Ortman Trail, vicinity Willow Street
This project constructed a paved pathway connecting the Powerhouse Canal Trail at 14 Avenue
& Swan Avenue to the William O. Douglas Trail on 6 Avenue at "I" Street. Now that this
project is completed, the Powerhouse Trail, Ortman Trail, William O. Douglas Trail and Yakima
Greenway are connected and form a 6.5 -mile loop. The project was funded by a Transportation
Enhancement Grant (Federal) of $283,278.
♦ Projected completed
Cascade Mill Redevelopment Project
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 an estimated 4500 light
manufacturing, office park, commercial, retail and entertainment jobs. The city has contracted
with Lochner and Associates to provide engineering and design services for streets, infrastructure
and I -82 interchange modifications. Partnerships in this project include Yakima County,
WSDOT, Federal Highway, Yakima County Development Association (YCDA) and the Yakima
valley Conference of Government (YVCOG). The City and County have committed an
investment of over $4 million in early planning, design, and permitting efforts in order to develop
the shovel ready projects.
The current status of the project includes:
1. Interchange Justification Report Study, (approved by FHWA in May of 2013) underway
to improve freeway access to I -82 and Cascade Mill site as well as connect to the County
"East -West Corridor Road" — Yakima County project lead. NEPA review currently under
preparation.
2. Design of the Cascade Mill Parkway (a North to South City Boulevard -type Street that
will provide access to the mill site and include three roundabouts for intersections. City of
Yakima project lead. The roundabout at Fair Avenue and Cascade Mill Parkway will be
the first construction project and will improve safety as well as provide access into the
redevelopment area for landfill clean -up.
3. Preliminary Design and alignment of "East -West Corridor Road" — Yakima County
project lead. The existing H Street corridor will be improved from North 1 Street to 7th
Street as part of this project. NEPA review currently under preparation.
4. Grant funding research, permitting and options for clean -up and remediation of former
City of Yakima municipal landfill has begun with Department of Ecology.
♦ Projected completion date: LIFT supported construction bond to be issued in 2017
River Road Widening & Reconstruction: 6th Avenue to 16 Avenue
In 2011, in a financial partnership with Washington Fruit Company and Yakima School Districts'
Stanton Academy, the City received a grant of $639,000 from the Freight Mobility Strategic
Investment Board (FMSIB) for a total project of $1.42 Million.
3
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 was 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. Curb, gutter and sidewalk, lighting and commercial driveways were
constructed. Granite Construction was the low responsive bidder and began work in June 2013.
The construction work is complete, however contract closeout continues.
♦ Project completed: 3 Quarter 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 adopted
by City Council on October 11, 2011.
The City applied for, and received a $250,000 Surface Transportation Program (STP) federal

Wastewater Facility TMDL ( Struvite) Project
When fully constructed this project will begin reducing nutrient concentrations in the wastewater
effluent discharged to the Yakima River as required by the Department of Ecology. The
construction includes the fabrication and installation of a reactor to harvest phosphorous and the
installation of eight (8) mixers in the aeration basins to augment nutrient removal through the
reactors. We received Ecology approval on 7/11/2011.
The Struvite reactors have been installed and are in operation. The mixers have been installed
and tested in the Aeration Basins. The new process configuration using the mixers to remove
phosphorus will be initiated November, 2013.
The Struvite reactors provide the ability to produce struvite in a cost effective manner as a
marketable fertilizer product which is rich in phosphorus. The mixers allow the plant to operate
a Biological Phosphorus removal process which reduces 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 and aeration basins.
♦ Projected Completion: 4th Quarter FY2013.
Wastewater Facility, Collection System Plan Update & initial Stormwater Comp Plan
The last Wastewater Facility Plan was completed in February 2004. This project will update 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.
With the adoption of the new Storm water Regulations a comprehensive Storm water 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 preparing a
prioritized listing of projects based on existing flows and future capacity needs.
Tom Coleman has updated the treatment plant facility plan with input from several on -going
projects and studies along with the comprehensive sewer plan from Akel Engineering.
Final edits are currently in progress.

* Phase II of project is tentatively planned for bid advertisement in early 2014
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 the waste stream
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 in the preliminary
engineering phase.
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
were installed with this contract.
9
Project was awarded to Columbia Energy and Environmental Services. The UASB and Pump
Station have been installed and commissioned. The contractor is working on punch list items.
The North end electrical improvements are about 70 percent complete and currently scheduled
for completion by the end of February 2014.
♦ Projected completion date: 1 Quarter FY2014
Fine Screen Project:
Project will enable the plant to comply with the new biosolids regulations requiring a maximum
of 3/8 aperture screens to reduce manufactured inerts in the biosolids generated at the facility.
The project design was halted due to funding limitations. An alternative to meet the regulations
is being pursued. This approach includes replacing the existing 1 /2" aperture bars in the screens
with 3/8" and rebuilding the drive units and washer compactors.
Pricing from the original manufacturer has been requested and expected to be received in early
December 2013. One washer compactor has been rebuilt and parts for the second are being
procured.
♦ Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter 2014.
Grease Receiving Project:
Project was envisioned to allow 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 completed the study report in July 2013. The report concludes that the project is
not sustainable without certainty that the grease haulers will bring the brown grease to the
treatment plant. Therefore, it has been decided not to move ahead with this effort at this time.
♦ Project completion date: 2nd 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 engineering team was selected for the design of this
process.
We have developed the specification for the dryer equipment purchase which is scheduled to bid
in December 2013. After an equipment manufacturer is selected, the design of the dryer building
and other utility and infrastructure support components will be completed/

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.
