SUBJECT: 2015 Capital Improvement Projects: 2nd Quarter
INTRODUCTION
This Quarterly Report is intended to provide an overview of the City's capital improvement
projects for the 2n Quarter of 2015, 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.
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. As an agreement has been reached with the Millennial Arts Foundation
and an agreement is in place with the artists, final design is underway. Due to the length of time
it will take to fabricate the glass, this phase is going to be split into two. The sidewalk being
constructed in the fall of 2015 and the "Bins of Light" will be constructed in the summer of 2016.
The estimated cost for this project is around $600,000.
• Projected completion: 3rd Quarter FY2016
2014 City-wide Street Resurfacing Project This project is complete.
• Projected completion: 2nd Quarter FY2015
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 at the intersection of Yakima
Avenue and 6th Avenue, and continue southerly along 6th Avenue. Paperwork for environmental
clearance has to be submitted specifically for this deficient crossing.
• Projected completion: mid -year FY2016
1
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). The right of way needed for this project has been acquired
and the design has been completed. This project should be advertised for bids during the month
of August.
• 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 future "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
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 project to
construct the southernmost 500 feet of the Cascade Mill Parkway, along with the
roundabout that will connect Fair Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, MLK Boulevard and Cascade
Mill Parkway is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion in
November. Granite Construction Company is the prime contractor for this project. Their
submitted bid to do the work was $2,424,581.15.
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: Fair Avenue Roundabout completion date: 4th Quarter 2015.
Landfill cleanup, wood waste removal, right of way acquisition are pending.

North Is` Street Corridor Revitalization — 'N' Street to SR -12 (Phase 1)
North 1st Street Corridor Revitalization — 'N' Street to MLK Jr. Blvd (Phase 2)
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 Phase 1. A professional services agreement was entered into
with HDJ Design Group to develop the engineering plans and construction specifications. The
engineering plans and construction specifications have been completed. Approval of the
environmental documentation is ongoing. 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
relocating/under-grounding of overhead utilities, as well as safety and improving the appearance
of the corridor.
• Phase 2: 'N' Street to MLK Jr. Blvd., construction is estimated to be $8,000,000 and will
be funded by a City of Yakima bond. We interviewed consulting firms to perform the
design and Huibregtse Louman and Associates (HLA) has been selected to perform the
design for us. They have started their work and should be completed around the end of
2015, with construction to begin in 2016.
Both phases of this work were included in a 2015 TIGER Grant submittal for Federal funds.
Award of funding 2015 TIGER Grant
• Projected completion dates: FY2016 (and later)
2012 City Safety Program Citywide Safety Improvements; & Lincoln Ave. Corridor Safety -
32"d 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 Citywide Safety Improvements portion of the
project has been completed/
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.
3
Right of way acquisition for the Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety portion of the project has been
completed, and we are in the process of getting the right of way certified by FHWA. Depending
on how long it takes to get the right of way certified, we hope to go to bid by November of 2015.
• Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter 2016
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 Street and Ahtanum in Union Gap.

Powerhouse Road Sidewalk
This project will widen the westbound lane to 14 feet, so that it will be able of function as a
shared bicycle/vehicle lane. The project will also construct curb, gutter and sidewalk on the
north side of the road. This project is funded with a $275,000 TAP Grant. Design of this project
should begin this fall with construction scheduled for the summer of 2016.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY 2016
Fisher Golf Course Parking Lot Enlargement
The Parks Departments' Golf Course had a parking lot adjacent to their club house with 12
marked parking stalls including one handicap parking stall. Up until recently, 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 was eliminated.
This project increased the size of the golf course parking lot by adding 12 additional stalls and
reconstructed the existing parking lot. The parking lot was completed in April.
• Projected completion date: 2nd Quarter FY2015
Water/Irrigation Division Capital Improvements Projects
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.
Bonneville Power Authority has issues a $69,000 grant to see if the city's and the Gleed Canal
Company's diversion could be consolidated. A couple of stakeholder meetings were held;
comments from those meetings were incorporated into the design and another meeting is being
scheduled to review suggested modifications to the design and to determine the next steps to
move forward.
• Projected completion date: 4th Quarter FY2016
Fruitvale Canal - Nelson Dam Improvements
This project will consolidate the river diversions for Fruitvale Canal with the existing diversions
at the Nelson Dam. We are working on fish screen/intake project options. Discussions are
continuing with the Bureau of Reclamation, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife,
Yakima County, National Marine Fisheries Service, Yakama Nation and North Yakima
Conservation District on project design and options. A water right change in point of diversion is
being approved by Ecology. Discussions with Yakima County are on-going to see how the
5
project fits with their flood plain restoration projects. Additional stakeholders meetings are being
scheduled.
• Projected completion date: On-going
West Yakima Irrigation System Ph. Illmprovements
This project replaced the existing West Yakima Irrigation System in various neighborhoods
between Summitview Avenue and West Lincoln Avenue, from North 21st Avenue to North 38th
Avenue. The irrigation system in this area was past its useful life and required regular repair.
The RFP for consultant services was issued in February 2014. Two SOQ's received and
evaluated and a successful contract was negotiated with Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc. for
design and construction services. HLA completed the design and contract specifications. The
project bid opening was October, 2014. Of eight bids received the successful low bid was from

Wastewater Division Capital Improvements Projects
Industrial Wastewater Line Extension
Wastewater division continues to actively pursue the separation of high strength food process
water (industrial waste) from the domestic sanitary sewer collection and treatment process. To
serve existing food processing businesses this project extended the existing Industrial Waste (IW)
line to Noel Canning and Jewel Fruit. This new line is also available to future food processing
businesses. Huibregtse Louman Associates (HLA) provided construction administration, design,
and inspection. Construction began on March 2014 and was timed with Noel Canning's
installation of the private side service to the new main. POW was awarded the project &
construction is complete except final paperwork. With this project we also relined four (4)
sections of domestic sewer main adding structural stability to the deteriorated pipe. The project is
complete.
• Projected completion date: Completed
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 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 evaluation. Budget has been approved to start a pipeline rehabilitation program to
address the old and deteriorating wastewater collection system. The program will consist of pipe
and manhole rehabilitation and replacement along with addressing access issues throughout the
city. Scoping activities are under way. Construction will be ongoing starting in 3rd quarter 2015
until the system conditions are addressed. The project will stabilize current conditions of the
pipe system and reduce infiltration of groundwater which will save treatment costs in the future
and limit the need for upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
• Projected completion date: on-going
Collection System Plan Update & Initial Stormwater Comp Plan, Wastewater Facility Plan
With the adoption of the new stormwater regulations a comprehensive Stormwater 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 completed a
capital projects priority projection based upon the capacity model.
Design of stormwater improvements for N. 1st Street and Randall Park projects are under way.
The FCS Group completed a Wastewater and Stormwater rate structure and a wholesale
customer billing model that meets the specifications of the 3 -Party Wholesale Service
Agreement.
7
The last Wastewater Facility Plan was completed in February 2004. This project updates 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. The updated
facility plan will incorporate the completed Akel collection system and stormwater system
documents. A Request for Qualifications is underway in order to procure consulting services for
the Wastewater Facility Plan update.
• Projected completion date: FY2016
Levee set back Project, Greenway Trail Re-route and new Wastewater Outfall
The Gap to Gap project for flood plain restoration included the relocation of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant outfall. Yakima County selected a consulting team to conduct NEPA/SEPA
review of overall Gap to Gap project. Design plans from the Corps. of Engineers are in progress.
• Phase I construction completed: 4th Quarter FY2013
• Phase II: Floodplain Restoration Outfall Alternative: The project is physically complete
and in service. As -built drawings have been provided and accepted. Quarterly progress
reports have been submitted to both DOE and RCO for the 2015 reporting periods. Pay
requests from the eligible grants have been submitted. Final reports as well as stewardship
plans are in progress. Construction was completed during the second quarter of FY2015.
• Phase III: Outfall Channel Piping: The interim, open channels installed under Phase II
will be retrofitted with enclosed piping between the existing discharge structures and the
Riparian area southeast of the treatment plant. Consultant selection will begin in the 4th
quarter of FY2015.
• Projected completion date: FY2017
Fine Screen Project:
This project enables 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.
Washer compactors have been rebuilt by Wastewater Maintenance personnel. Bar racks have
been procured and scheduled for installation early February 2015. For additional savings, the
installation of the new bar racks will be directed through professional services and conducted by
Wastewater Maintenance personnel. Bar screens have been installed, project is complete.
• Projected completion date: Completed

Speedway Interceptor and Beech Street Lift Station Project:
The existing 36 inch gravity sewer interceptor located between Beech Street and Nob Hill on the
west side of I-82 is currently experiencing excessive sedimentation due to flat and adverse pipe
slopes with slow fluid speeds and intermittent reverse flows. As part of the 2013 wastewater
Master Plan, improvements to that interceptor were identified. The improvements include
insertion of two different sized, parallel force mains inside the existing pipe as well as the
construction of a new lift station on Beech Street south of Kiwanis Park. Flows currently
reaching the Race Street lift station will be intercepted at Beech and 15th and be redirected into
the new lift station. The Race Street lift station will be decommissioned. The parallel pipe
system will allow for conveyance of existing flows at higher speeds as well as provide a
mechanism for expanding service to the Boise Cascade Mill Site region without increasing the
sedimentation problem as flows from that area develop. It will also allow for future phased
construction of improvements that will eliminate existing bottlenecks in the sewer interceptor
system west of Washington Middle School.
Included in this project will be minor upgrades to the electrical elements of the Rudkin Road lift
station and installation of an emergency bypass connection along with modifications to the
existing junction box at the intersection of Rudkin Road and East Viola Ave.
RH2 has been selected as the design consultant. Contract negotiations for the Professional
Service Agreement are in progress. Design submittals are anticipated in the 4th quarter of 2015.

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.
