SUBJECT: 2013 Capital Improvement Projects: 4th Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Report is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
projects for the 4th Quarter of 2013, 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.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Railroad Grade Separations; Phase 3: Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd 1st St. to 1s` 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 18th. The secant pile
retaining wall west of the BNSF Bridge has been completed as well as the drilled bottom seal.
The work should be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2014, with contract closeout to be completed
by the end of 2014.
• Projected completion: 4th Quarter FY2014
2013 Citv-wide Street Resurfacing Project
Also known as a Grind and Overlay project, this project resurfaced 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 completion in late October of 2013.
Columbia Asphalt and Gravel Inc. was the low responsive bidder and were 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:
1
• S. Fair Avenue, Mead to Pacific Avenue
• E. Nob Hill Blvd., 1st Street to Fair Avenue
• S. 1st Street, Nob Hill Blvd. to Mead Avenue
• E. Washington Avenue, 1st Street to East City Limits
• S. 64th Avenue, Occidental to Washington Avenue
• N. 16th Avenue, Englewood to north of Madison Avenue
• E. Walnut Street, 1st Street to 6th Street
• Tieton Drive, 32nd to 40th Avenues
• Summitview, 48th to 56th Avenues
• 40th Avenue, Summitview to Tieton Drive
• Project completed: 4th Quarter FY2013
2014 Citv-wide Street Resurfacing Project
This years' grind and overlay project will resurface various street segments throughout the city
based on their Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The scope of work will include pavement
repair, resurfacing, replacement of limited areas of failed roadway, construction of ADA ramps
and pavement markings. The streets segments identified represent 92 lane miles of roadway.
As the project multiplies the amount of work on many different city streets at once, there will be
an increase in the inconvenience to the travelling public. However, in spite of a short term of
inconvenience, there should be lower paving costs along with shorter times of grinding and
overlaying any given city street. As in 2013, the majority of the work is proposed to be done at
night to lessen the impact on travelling public and adjacent businesses.
The project will be advertised to bidders in February and work will start as early in the year as
weather will allow. The following streets sections are included:
• Railroad overpass to 3rd Avenue
• Summitview to Fruitvale Blvd.
• Nob Hill Blvd. to Englewood
• River Road to SR -12
• 1st Street to 7th Avenue
• Washington Avenue to Nob Hill Blvd.
• 16th to 32nd Avenues
• 40th to 48th Avenues
• 1st Street to 16th Avenue
• 56th to 62nd Avenues
• Walnut to "D" Streets
• 10th Street to 16th Avenue
• 10th Street to 7th Avenue
• 32nd to 48th Avenues
• 11th to 21st Avenues
• 10 Street to 10th Avenue
• 12th to 16th Avenues

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 6th Avenue.
• Projected completion: 3rd Quarter FY2014
South 64th Avenue Roadway Widening: Nob Hill Blvd to Tieton Drive
This project will widen this section of 64th 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 is currently being advertised for bids with construction
anticipated to begin in March of 2014.
• Project completion: 3rd Quarter FY2014
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 1st 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
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 1st 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 1st 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.

32"d Ave. to 5th Ave.
This project is funded by a 100% federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant of
$840,000 and is divided into two pieces: Citywide Safety Improvements; and, Lincoln Avenue
Corridor Safety - N. 32nd Avenue to N. 5th Avenue.
The Citywide Safety Improvements ($400,000) will upgrade signal heads throughout the city
from 8 -inch diameter to 12 -inch diameter, as well as constructing ADA ramps along 16th Avenue
between Nob Hill Boulevard and River Road.
The Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety project will upgrade signal heads to 12 -inch diameter at 5th
Avenue, 6th Avenue and 16th Avenue, construct ADA ramps at many of the crossroads, install
sidewalk and replace sidewalk, remove trees blocking the sight distance at several intersections
and install two overhead school flashers at the crosswalk for Robertson Elementary School.
Design for the Citywide Safety Improvement portion of the project is complete and anticipated to
be advertised for bid in February of 2014. The Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety portion of the
project has begun, and right of way acquisition for the sidewalk construction should begin in
early 2014, with construction anticipated in 2015.
• Project completion date: 3rd Quarter 2015
1st/Main & Nob Hill Corridor Safety
This project is funded by a 100% federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant of
$400,000. It is being done in conjunction with education and enforcement programs to reduce
the number of severe accidents that occur in these two corridors.
The improvements that will be made to the roadway include low cost fixes, such as, upgrading
signal heads, installing "prepare to stop" when flashing signal system, install median curbs,
upgrade/install sidewalk sections and upgrade ADA ramps, install countdown pedestrian signal
heads, install speed radar signs, upgrade illumination, improve driveway ingress and egress, and
upgrade the signal heads and illumination at Main and Ahtanum in Union Gap.

• Project completion date: 4th Quarter 2014
Fisher Golf Course Parking Lot Enlargement
The Parks Departments' Golf Course has a parking lot adjacent to their club house with 12
marked parking stalls including one handicap parking stall. Up until the recent past, overflow
golf parking could utilize Eisenhower High School's parking lot across 40th Avenue. However,
with the reconstruction of Eisenhower and their entire property reconfiguration, the school
parking lot that had been utilized has been eliminated.
This project proposes to increase the size of the golf course parking lot by adding approximately
12 additional stalls and the existing lot will be reconstructed. Design will begin in March/April;
it is anticipated that construction will occur this year.
• Project completion date: 3rd Quarter 2014
Water/Irrigation Division Capital Improvements Projects
Automated Metering Infrastructure Improvements
Internal discussions began in January 2010 to determine the future direction for meter reading.
Inter -agency agreement approved by Council to coordinate efforts between Yakima, Selah and
Nob Hill. Gray and Osborne (consultant) provided an initial report to outline current
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 was
approved. The Request for Proposal (RFP) process was completed and Badger Meter, Inc. was
selected to provide the new system. Contracts were signed and approved in March, 2013, and
construction is underway. Meters are continuing to be installed by both the contractor as well as
City crews. Data collector installation is completed and approximately 14,000 of the nearly
19,000 meters have been installed.

• Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter 2014
Water Treatment Plant Intake Improvements
The project will evaluate the river and WTP intake structure for potential modifications and
improvements to maintain the existing river location and flows to into the intake. We are
currently working with Golder & Assoc. for Hydro -technical Engineering Support Services for
design, permitting, funding, construction bid and inspection support of a new intake and flood
plain stabilization structures. Ecology has issued a Watershed grant for $250,000 for this project.
Conceptual design of new river structures was provided in December; final design is underway.
• Projected completion date: 4th Quarter 2014
Fruitvale Canal Improvements
This project will consolidate the river diversions for Fruitvale Canal with the existing diversions
at the Nelson Dam. We are working directly with HDR/Fish Pro on fish screen/intake project
options. We will continue to work with the Bureau of Reclamation, Washington Depart of Fish
and Wildlife, Yakima County and North Yakima Conservation District on project design and
options. A water right change in point of diversion has been submitter to Ecology and public
notice has been completed.
• Projected completion date: On-going
East Viola Avenue (I-82 Crossing) Waterline Replacement
The project will replace an undersized, deteriorating waterline crossing under I-82 at East Viola
Avenue, between Rudkin Road and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Replacement of the
waterline will improve flows and reliability in this part of the water system, as well as replace a
sub -standard, direct bury waterline across I-82 with a new ductile iron waterline in a steel casing
within the limits of the interstate highway. Huibregtse, Louman Associates has completed the
design. The project will be constructed as funding becomes available.
• Projected completion date: On-going
Wastewater Division Capital Improvements Projects
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.
• Projected completion date: August 2014
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
This project begins reduction of nutrient concentrations in the wastewater effluent discharged to
the Yakima River as required by the Department of Ecology. The construction included 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.
8
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 was 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.
• Project Completed: 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 1st Quarter 2014
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: 4th 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
9
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.
Construction contract awarded to KRCI of Wenatchee Washington. Excavation is complete,
trail is complete and re -opened and planting is 90% complete.
• Awarded more grants for future work.
• $249,990 from Ecology for more habitat improvement and tree planting.
• $56,000 from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for planting
• $25,000 from US Fish and Wildlife for Planting
• $1,300,000 from Yakima Basin Integrated Plan for moving the outfall*
• "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.
• Projected: *Phase II of project: tentatively planned for bid advertisement in early 2014
Industrial UASB Reactor and North End Power Distribution System Upgrade Project
This project allows 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.
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: 1st Quarter FY2014
10
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 received. One washer compactor has been
rebuilt and parts for the second are being procured. Procurement of the replacement bars and
installation of the bars is expected to be completed by July 2014.
• Projected completion date: 3rd 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: Project will not be constructed
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.
Dryer equipment purchase bids were received in December 2013. Bids exceeded the budget for
the dryer building, and other utility and infrastructure components. We are evaluating the project
and reducing the scope to be within the approved budget.
• Projected completion dates: Design 2nd Quarter FY2014 Construction 4th Quarter 2015

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 814 UIC facilities. The Department of Ecology is providing a grant of
$210,000 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 final
technical memorandum has been written which proposes a method to assess relative risk to
groundwater from stormwater UIC wells. The wells have been prioritized for retrofitting and
City staff is now in the preliminary stages of designing a construction project that will use
various retrofit methods.
• Project completion date: 4th Quarter FY2014

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.
