SUBJECT: 2014 Capital Improvement Projects: 3rd Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Retort is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
projects for the 3r 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 consisted of re -constructing MLK Jr. Blvd. so the roadway passes 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 passes 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. A ribbon cutting to celebrate completion of the project
was held on July 23rd, 2014 and the project was physically complete on August 15th. Letter of
physical completion was given on October 24, 2014.
• Projected completion: 4th Quarter FY2014
Railroad Grade Separations; Phase 4: Project Aesthetics
This project consists of constructing the "Bins of Light" art piece on Lincoln Avenue just east of
the Front Street Bridge, and constructing an elevated sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln from
1st Avenue to 1st Street. Final design should be completed this fall, with the project bidding
during the winter and construction to begin in the spring. The estimated cost for this project is
around $600,000.
• Projected completion: 3rd Quarter FY2015

2014 Citv-wide Street Resurfacing Project
This years' grind and overlay project resurfaced various street segments throughout the city
based on their Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The scope of work included pavement repair,
resurfacing, replacement of limited areas of failed roadway, construction of ADA ramps and
pavement markings. The street segments identified represent 92 lane miles of roadway.
As the project multiplied the amount of work on many different city streets at once, there was an
increase in the inconvenience to the travelling public. However, in spite of a short term of
inconvenience, there were lower paving costs along with shorter times of grinding and overlaying
any given city street. As in 2013, the majority of the work was performed at night to lessen the
impact on travelling public and adjacent businesses.
The following streets sections were included:
• W. Nob Hill Blvd.,
• N. 40th Avenue,
• 16th Avenue,
• N. 16th Avenue,

Yakima Valley Trolley Barn & Museum Preservation
Using State Enhancement funds, the City purchased the historic YVT Trolley Repair Barn and
Substation on January 31, 2008. Funding also allowed for repairs to the west and south walls and
the crane system. That work has been completed. Some funding still remains and will be used to
remove and replace approximately 120 feet of bad track starting in Yakima Avenue and continue
southerly in 6' Avenue. Paperwork for environmental clearance has to be submitted specifically
for this deficient crossing.
• Projected completion: mid -year FY2015
South 64th Avenue Roadway Widening: Nob Hill Blvd to Tieton Drive
This project widened 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 were 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 low bid of $823,328. Construction began on March 4th. The project has been
completed. Contract closeout should be done by the end of this year.
• Project completion: 3rd Quarter FY2014
Tieton and 64th Avenue Intersection Improvements
This project will improve the intersection of Tieton Drive and 64th Avenue by adding a left -turn
lane for westbound Tieton Drive traffic and install a traffic signal. Funds for this project come
from a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant ($783,600) and the Wal-Mart
development agreement ($200,000). Design for this project has been started and Yakima County
has begun to acquire the necessary right of way for this project.
• Projected completion date: 4th Quarter FY2015
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 current status of the project includes:
1. Interchange Justification Report Study (UR), (approved by FHWA in May of 2013) is
underway to improve freeway access to I-82 and the Cascade Mill site as well as to
connect to the County "East-West Corridor Road" - Yakima County project lead. NEPA
review is currently under preparation. City of Yakima and Yakima County are proposing
to modify the UR approach to construct ramps and bridges related to the East-West
3
Corridor as a first phase using local and LIFT funds. A bridge over the Yakima River and
the widening of I-82 would occur in a later phase.
2. Design of the Cascade Mill Parkway (a North to South City Boulevard -type Street that
will provide access to the mill site). City of Yakima is project lead. The roundabout at
Fair Avenue and Cascade Mill Parkway will be constructed in 2015 using LIFT funds.
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. DOE has
included $20 Million in the proposed State Capital Budget for landfill cleanup.
• Projected completion date: LIFT supported construction will begin in 2015 with the Fair
Avenue Roundabout. Landfill cleanup, wood waste removal, right of way acquisition are
pending.
North Is` 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. In January of 2013, the City was awarded
$2,718,000 for the construction of this project. A professional services agreement was entered
into with HDJ Design Group to develop the engineering plans and construction specification.
Originally, it was anticipated that the project would bid in the spring of 2015. We have since
been informed that the STP construction funds will not be available in 2015, so project
construction will be delayed. 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 which will be funded by
a City of Yakima bond. Engineering will commence in 2015 and construction shortly thereafter.
• 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.
• Projected completion date, Phases 2 and 3: FY2016 (and later)

2012 City Safety Program Citywide Safety Improvements; & Lincoln Ave. Corridor Safety -
32nd Avenue to 5th Avenue
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.
Bids were opened for the Citywide Safety Improvement portion of the project on March 27th,
with Transportation Systems, Inc. out of Sumner, WA being the low bidder with a bid of
$382,166.50. The concrete work for this project has been completed. Upgrading of the existing
signal heads should begin in early December.
Right of way acquisition for the Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety portion of the project has
begun, with a separate construction project anticipated in 2015.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY2015
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.
Design has begun on this with an anticipated advertisement date in the fall and construction to be
done in 2015.
• Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter FY2015
West Valley Middle School Improvements
This project is funded by a federal "Safe Routes to School" grant. It includes an educational and
enforcement portion in the project. The improvements include installing a traffic signal at the
intersection of S. 72nd Avenue and Mead Avenue, and constructing sidewalk on the south side of
Zier Road from S. 72nd to 75th Avenues. Design began in March. The project should be
constructed in 2015.
• Projected completion date: 4th Quarter FY2015

Alley Pavers
This project is funded by a federal "Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality" (CMAC) grant. It will
pave the alleys located within the following limits: Fruitvale Boulevard (north boundary),
Lincoln Avenue (south boundary), 5th Avenue (east boundary) and 16th Avenue (west boundary).
Design should begin this spring; it is anticipated that construction will occur in 2015.
• Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter FY2015
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 and ultimately construction
will begin when this project is taken off of "hold".
• Projected completion date: FY2015
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. Software implementation is expected by the end of December 2014, with project
close-out to follow.

Design of stormwater improvements for N. 1st Street and Randall Park projects is under way.
• Projected completion date: FY2014??
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
includes the Wastewater Treatment Plant to construct a new wastewater outfall and riparian
improvements. Yakima County selected a consulting team to conduct NEPA/SEPA review of
overall Gap to Gap project.
Phase 2 designs for rerouting of the Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall location were completed
by Ridolfi Inc., along with their sub consultant, Gray & Osborne, Inc. The design includes
construction of a new diversion structure which will intercept the existing, treated effluent and
redirect it south via two parallel 42 inch pipes to a pair of outlet structures south of the plant site
in the old wastewater spray field. Two conveyance channels will then convey the water to pilot
channels to the Yakima River. An Engineering Report was submitted to the Department of
Ecology and approved; they then reviewed and approved project design and specifications;
permitting activities have been completed.
The construction project was awarded to Strider Construction Co. Inc. and work began in
August. To date, 80% of the construction has been completed. Formwork for the remainder of
the diversion structure is ongoing and dewatering operations for the diversion structure continue.
Grants received for the project include:
• $249,990 from Ecology for more habitat improvement and tree planting.
• $1,300,000 from Yakima Basin Integrated Plan for moving the outfall
• $250,000 of $500,000 combined grant awarded by Ecology to both Water and
Wastewater for improvements to the Naches river water intake facilities as well as the
sewer outfall relocation.
• Phase I construction completed: 4th Quarter FY2013
• Phase II: Floodplain Restoration Outfall Alternative: Mid -year 2015 wrap-up

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 Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) 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
substantially complete with a few outstanding punch list items.
• Projected completion date: 4th quarter FY2014
Fine Screen Project:
This project will enable the plant to comply with 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 FY2014.
Biosolids Dryer Project:
This 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. The final
technical memorandum has been written which proposes a method to assess relative risk to
groundwater from stormwater UIC wells. The Department of Ecology has approved the
technical memorandum. The wells have been prioritized for retrofitting and City staff has
designed a construction project that will use various retrofit methods. Construction will take
place in the 3rd quarter of 2014.
Construction is nearly complete on the retrofit project. Two UIC wells have been retrofitted with
swales; 18 UICs have had elbows installed; and over half of the 42 catch basins scheduled to get
oil/water separators have had them installed.
• Projected 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.
