B. Dumas Bay Janitorial and Housekeeping Services Contract: — Presented by Rob Ettinger. Dumas Bay Manager Ettinger gave a brief overview that on June 19, 2019 the Dumas Bay Centre and the City of Federal Way released an RFQ for janitorial and housekeeping services, which closed on July 3, 20019. Cedar Building Service, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder. We are seeking authorization to enter into a service contract for the Dumas Bay Centre janitorial services with Cedar Building Service, Inc. In accordance with the approved budget this item is funded by Dumas Bay Centre operational revenue. The associated cost is $522,300 for a 6 year contract. The Council asked questions regarding the term of the contract. Manager Ettinger stated that the contract can be terminated sooner if the City chooses. It is more efficient to have a longer lease than having to come back to Council later to renew. Motion made by Councilmember Tran to forward Option 1 to the August 13, 2019 consent agenda for approval; motion seconded by Councilmember Assefa-Dawson and carried 3-0. C. PAEC 2% FOR THE ARTS PROJECT CLOSEOUT— PAYMENT OF TAXES: Presented by Public Works Director EJ Walsh. Director Walsh summarized the background on the payment of the sales tax associated with the completed project in the amount of $9,778.10. The City Council previously accepted the "Hylebos Harmonics" project as complete and closed the contract in accordance with regulations from the State Department of Revenue and State Department of Labor and Industries. Tuesday, July 23, 2019 Page 1 AFederal Way After formal acceptance the City submitted the project Notice of Completion of Public Works Contract to the state Department of Revenue, State Department of Labor and Industries and the Employment Security Departments. During their review, the state Department of Revenue determined that the City incorrectly prepared and documented the required sales tax. Specifically, the tax due was not broken out separately in the contract from the bid amount. The State Department of Revenue determination was that the City owes an additional $9,778.10 in sales tax associated with the project. While this amount is within the overall original project budget and Council authorized limits, since the project has been accepted and closed out Council must authorize amending the contract and payment of the sales tax. Motion made by Councilmember Tran to forward Option 1 to the August 13, 2019 consent agenda for approval; motion seconded by Councilmember Assefa-Dawson and carried 3-0 D.
