SUBJECT: 2016 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 2016, 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
Avenue 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. Bids were
opened on March 3rd for this project, with the low bid of $669,490 being submitted by Belsaas
and Smith. The project should begin construction in mid-June.
• Projected completion: 3rd Quarter FY2016
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
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).
1
The right of way needed for this project has been acquired and the design has been completed.
Bids were opened on September 24th, 2015 with Granite Construction Company submitting the
low bid of $582,900. Construction was delayed while signal poles, mast arms and signal
controller were being built. Construction has begun and should be completed in early July.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY2016
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 creation of an estimated 4,500
light manufacturing, office park, commercial, retail and entertainment jobs.
The current status of the project includes:
1. The Interchange Justification Report (IJR) has been submitted to the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Headquarters for their approval. The purpose of
the UR is to provide freeway access to a proposed east — west roadway that will connect
Terrace Height to north Yakima, and thereby, provide direct access from the I-82 to the
former sawmill site. Design of the preferred alignment of this east -west roadway west of
the interstate is nearing completion, after which the NEPA documentation will be
finalized. The "Connecting Washington" legislation approved last fall provides funds for
the improvements to I-82, as well as, the bridges over the interstate and Yakima River.
2. Design of a North to South City Boulevard -type Street that will provide access to the mill
site. City of Yakima is project lead. The first phase of this project that constructed the
southernmost 500 feet of this north — south road (named Bravo Company Boulevard),
along with a roundabout that connects Bravo Company Boulevard to Fair Avenue,
Lincoln Avenue and MLK Boulevard has been completed, except for the landscaping and
centerpiece for the roundabout. The landscaping and roundabout centerpiece will be
completed in this spring. The construction was done by Granite Construction Company
for a cost around $2,425,000.
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 is currently under preparation.
4. Grant funding research, permitting and options for clean-up and remediation of former
City of Yakima municipal landfill has begun. The City has entered into the Voluntary
Cleanup Program with the Department of Ecology (DOE). The City has submitted the
remedial investigation report to DOE and will soon be developing a feasibility study that
will detail the cleanup requirements
• Projected completion date: Fair Avenue Roundabout completion date: 1st Quarter 2016.
Landfill cleanup, IJR approval, East - West Corridor and remainder of North - South
Boulevard are pending.

North 1st 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 was performed in 2011 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 during the spring of
2016, with construction to begin in 2017. Due to the amount of work included in Phase 2,
and the amount of impacts that it will have to traffic, businesses and private utilities, it
has been determined to split Phase 2 into two phases. Phase 2a will perform the
construction from MLK Boulevard to `I' Street, and will be constructed in 2017. Phase
2b will perform the construction from `I' Street to 'N' Street and will be constructed in
2018. We applied for and were successful in receiving a $1,500,000 grant from the
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) for this project.
Both phases of this work were included in a 2017 FASTLANE federal grant application. It is
anticipated that the grant selection should be completed by this fall.
• Projected completion dates: FY2017 (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) upgraded signal heads throughout the city from
8 -inch diameter to 12 -inch diameter, as well as constructed ADA ramps along 16th Avenue
between Nob Hill Boulevard and River Road. The Citywide Safety Improvements portion of the
project was completed in 2015.
3
The Lincoln Avenue Corridor Safety project will upgrade signal heads to 12 -inch diameter at 5th
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 on February 3, 2016 with the low bid of $225,484 being submitted by KRCI.
Construction began in March and should be completed by June.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter 2016
lst/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.
Bids for this project were opened on April 17, 2015. The low bid submitted by Columbia
Asphalt and Gravel was $305,290. Construction has been completed.
• Projected completion date: 1st Quarter FY2016
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 as well. The improvements include installing a traffic signal
at the intersection of S. 72n Avenue and Mead Avenue, and constructing sidewalk on the south
side of Zier Road from S. 72nd to 75th Avenues. Bids for the project were opened on July 29th
with Columbia Asphalt and Gravel submitting the low bid of $530,496.50. We have delayed
construction until the spring of 2016; or immediately following the end of the school year.
Construction of this project will begin on June 13th.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY2016
Alley Pavers
This project is funded by a federal "Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality" (CMAQ) 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 2016.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY2016
4
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
is pending yet construction could occur late summer of 2016.
• Projected completion date: 3rd Quarter FY 2016
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 issued a $69,000 grant to see if the city's and the Gleed Canal
Company's diversion could be consolidated. The result was it is not feasible to consolidate
diversions. 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. A Cultural Survey
was conducted and submitted.
• 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
has been approved by Ecology. Discussions with Yakima County are on-going to see how the
project fits with their flood plain restoration projects. Stakeholders meetings are being held to
determine possible design options.
Project completion date: On-going

Wastewater Division Capital Improvements Projects
Billy's Pond and floodplain Enhancement Project
The purpose of this project is to ensure successfully meeting the goals of the original 2013
Billy's Pond Restoration project. This original project was intended to provide diverse and
complex floodplain habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species by increasing total area of high
quality wetland and riparian areas; and better utilization of site topography and groundwater
conditions. The net outcome of the project was intended to be an increase in open waters and
wetlands, as well as enhanced emergent and riparian areas adjacent to the Yakima River.
Additionally, the project provided floodplain restoration and connectivity with the Yakima River
as well as fish passage for salmonids and other native fish. Aquatic habitat functions and services
were expanded and improved from the previous state. The project was also intended to create an
opportunity to restore some of the river's natural physical and ecological processes to the
floodway and floodplain.
Much of the original work was successful in achieving the goals of the 2013 restoration project.
The purpose of current work is addressed below:
Increase pond flow-through. The 2013 Billy's Pond restoration project included removal of
culverts and a weir structure at the pond outlet channel. The existing manmade ditch that drained
the pond was backfilled with clean fill and a new outlet channel was excavated to remove the fish
passage barrier. The new excavated channel was not dug deep enough at the inlet to provide
flow-through from the pond and through the channel to the Yakima River. This channel will be
dug down an additional 8 to 12 inches below existing grade adjacent to where the channel meets
the pond.
Enhancement of wetland and riparian vegetation in southern pond aspects. The above -water
constructed habitat that was created for vegetation growth did not succeed and will be
recontoured to support vegetation growth. The constructed peninsulas and hummock in the
southern portion of the pond will be excavated as funding allows. Lower elevations will create
better equipment and crew access for replanting activities and reduce depth to the water table for
planted riparian shrubs and trees. Where soil is not excavated in replanting areas around the
pond, planting techniques will be used to allow plant roots to access deep groundwater, such as
augering holes and installing tall container plants of vigorously -rooting species. Live stakes and
emergent species will be planted at the pond edge.
Stabilize floodplain with native bunchgrasses. Approximately 42 acres of the floodplain will be
revegetated with native bunchgrasses. Soils will be decompacted where necessary prior to
seeding. Following native grass seeding, weeds will be controlled to promote grass
establishment.
Recontour or remove soil piles. The previous project left soil piles on the floodplain, adjacent to
the pond, that are a source of weeds that will continually reinfest the floodplain without
treatment. The soil piles were created from material excavated from channels leading to the pond
and from new outfall channels created for the wastewater treatment plant. These piles will be
recountoured to allow equipment access for soil stabilization measures of weed control and
6
reseeding with native bunchgrasses. One or more soil piles will be removed off-site as funding
allows.
Projected completion date: 4th Quarter FY2018
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.
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. Division staff are evaluating the draft 2013 Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility
Plan for potential completion.
• Projected completion date: FY2018

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 a
force main installed through the existing 36 inch 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 redirected in following phases at Beech and 15th and be redirected into the new lift
station. The Race Street lift station will then be decommissioned. The project 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 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 Engineering has been selected as the design consultant. The professional services contract
has been completed and designs are currently under way. Initial design submittals are anticipated
during the first quarter of 2016 for city review and comments.

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.
