Committee Member Dovey suggested the Committee approve items B, C and D.
Mr. Lee asked if the staff report needed to be read into record for the purpose of building the
record. Mr. Lee then gave a very brief summary of the staff report.
Chair Duclos suggested that for future plat and preliminary plat presentations, the Committee
requests only the staff report and the Hearing Examiner Report be included in the agenda
packet. Director Fewins asked if all of the documentation is needed to be part of the packet in
order to help build the record. Assistant City Attorney Beckwith stated that the material has
previously been provided to the Hearing Examiner, therefore already being part of the record.
Mr. Beckwith added that the backup information can be excluded from the packet as long as
all of the exhibits to the Hearing Examiner’s decision are available, if needed.

E. South 348th Street at 1st Avenue South Intersection Improvement Project – Bid Award
John Mulkey presented information on this item. Committee Member Dovey requested that
Bid Tabulation Summaries be printed in larger font so that it is easier to read. Mr. Mulkey
also briefed the Committee on a bid protest from another bidder and how the protest was
resolved. Director Roe reiterated that Tucci and Sons did file a bid protest, but that after case
law and standard specification research, the protest was denied. Tucci had the opportunity to
appeal the decision but did not do so. Chair Duclos asked if the City has had much experience
with Construct Co. Mr. Mulkey explained that although this will be their first project for the
City, numerous reference checks yielded positive feedback. Mr. Mulkey is confident
Construct Co. can successfully complete this project.
