BUSINESS ITEMS
BPA Trail Phase III Bid Award:
Marwan Salloum presented information on the BPA Trail Phase III proposed project. This proposed project has
been through the environmental process and the grant funds can only be applied to the trail only. Barbara Reid asked
if 2% for Arts could be used for Parcours. Salloum responded that because the low bid is significantly less than the
architect’s estimate, the final project balance is estimated to be approximately $145K. If there is a surplus after the
project is completed, then this amount will go back to Council for Council to decide what they want to do with these
funds.
HELLICKSON AND BURBIDGE MOVED AND SECONDED A MOTION TO AWARD THE BPA TRAIL
PHASE III PROJECT TO GOLF LANDSCAPING, INC., THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE, RESPONSIBLE
BIDDER, INTHE AMOUNT OF $483,990.00, AND APPROVE A 10% CONTINGENCY OF $48,400.00;
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT; AND FORWARD TO FULL
COUNCIL FOR CONSENT ON MARCH 20, 2001. MOTION PASSED.

"STAFF IS DIRECTED TO REVIEW CRITERIA AS IT RELATES TO THE 2% FOR THE ARTS
ORDINANCE TO SEE IF THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE APPLICATION OF THIS CRITERIA FOR
THIS PROJECT AND TO BRING BACK TO THE PARKS COUNCIL COMMITTEE THE FINDINGS OF
THIS REVIEW." ALL WERE IN FAVOR AND MOTION PASSED.
Jennifer Schroder will review with Law if 2% for Arts can be used for this project. The ordinance dictates how this
formula is applied.
Domestic Violence Advocacy Request for Proposal:
Camron Parker presented the Domestic Violence Advocacy Request for Proposal. The 2001-02 Human Services
Funding Plan which was adopted November 21, 2000 reserved $27,000 to contract for domestic violence community
advocacy services with an agency to be named later. A Request for Proposal brought five proposals in response and
these were placed in City Council office January 30, 2001. Human Services staff reviewed these proposals and
determined the Federal Way Youth and Family Services and YWCA met the scope of work given in the RFP, are
prepared to begin services immediately, and have the experience necessary to provide a high level of service quality.
HELLICKSON AND BURBIDGE MOVED AND SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE
SELECTION OF FEDERAL WAY YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES TO PROVIDE DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE COMMUNITY ADVOCACY FOR THE 2001-02 BIENNIUM, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE
HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION; AND FORWARD TO FULL COUNCIL FOR CONSENT ON
MARCH 20, 2001. MOTION PASSED.
COPS More 2001 Open Solicitation:
Laura Camden provided information to the Council Committee on a grant award application for the Spillman Mobile
Display Computer Linkage (MDC) which could be used to maximize time spent by officers in the community/field
by allowing the technology to query the Spillman database from patrol vehicles. Mehdi Sahdri stated this would
improve the whole department’s efficiency. Some hardware and software would need to be installed in the system to
allow linkage. This would be done regionally with VIACOM. The City’s match would be 25% of approximately
$120-140K or about $30K from the City. Camden said that an application is being made. Once the award is
received, an action item would be brought to Council Committee for approval to forward to City Council.
Council Member Hellickson asked if drug seizure funds could be utilized as a source of funding for this project.
Derek Matheson responded that there is a Bill moving forward in the Legislature on that subject. David Moseley
said that drug funds definitely could be used for surveillance cameras.
2001 Interlocal Agreement for Waterfowl Management Program:
Jennifer Schroder presented the 2001 Interlocal Agreement for Waterfowl Management which would manage
Canada Geese that are resident, not the migrating geese. Beginning methods of handling were relocation of the
geese, which then progressed to population management by addling of the eggs. This interlocal agreement would be
the City of Federal Way’s first time to participate in this program. The cost to the City would be $1,550 and the term
would be through December 31, 2001. This program is a regional approach that includes federal, county, local
government (12 cities), university and other private parties, for the purpose of public health and safety. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is taking the lead.
HELLICKSON AND BURBIDGE MOVED AND SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2001
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR WATERFOWL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND FORWARD TO
FULL COUNCIL FOR CONSENT ON MARCH 20, 2001. MOTION PASSED.
