SUBJECT: 2014 Capital Improvement Projects: 1st Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Report is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
projects for the 1st Quarter of 2014, 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 Front Street
Bridge deck has been poured and the bottom seal has been completed. They are installing the
drainage items and completing the work required for the retaining walls. 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
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 are lower paving costs along with shorter times of grinding and overlaying
1
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 following streets sections are included:
• W. Nob Hill Blvd.,
• N. 40th Avenue,

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.
Bids for the project were opened on January 30th, with Granite Construction Co. being the low
bidder with a price of $823,328. Construction began on March 4th. The excavations, widening of
the roadway base and installation of the drainage items have been completed. Paving of the
roadway will occur in May with the project open to traffic in June.
• 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 2014. 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.
We are in the process of entering into a contract with HDJ Design Group to perform the
preliminary engineering on the project.
We are applying for a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant
for the N. 1st Street Corridor from SR -12 to MLK Jr. Blvd. to combine with currently planned
construction.
• Phase 1 Projected completion date: FY 2015 (or later)
2012 City Safety Program Citywide Safety Improvements; & Lincoln Ave. Corridor Safety -
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.

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 when this project
is taken off of "hold". Construction could 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 nearly complete. Meters are continuing to be installed by City crews. Data
collector installation is completed and approximately 18,000 of the nearly 19,000 meters have
been installed.

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, 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.

• 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 was 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 project is complete
with a few outstanding punch list items which are expected to be completed by April 30, 2014.
• Projected completion date: April 30, 2014.

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 December 2014.
• Projected completion date: 4th Quarter 2014.
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 4th 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.
