4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Letter of Support for Friends of the Hylebos Wetlands Grant Application – In 1994, the Federal Way City
council authorized the Surface Water Management department to implement a major restoration project for the west fork
of Hylebos Creek. This project is now being initiated with design in 2002 and construction scheduled for 2003. The
project is estimated to cost $1.2 million, $750,000 of which was committed by the City Council through Surface Water
Management (SWM) fees. SWM is pursuing grant funding and other revenue sources to cover the additional expense.
One of those sources of funding is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA) grant for $150,000. If
successful, the Friends of the Hylebos (Friends) intention is to direct $100,000 to King County for land acquisition in the
area of the identified SWM project as well as to direct $50,000 to the City to offset costs incurred in designing and
construction the Utility’s West Hylebos Restoration Project. The NOAA grant opportunity will provide the Friends and
the City the opportunity to work together to restore 2500 lineal feet of quality salmonid habitat, which is expected to
provide significant benefits to salmonid resources. The Committee m/s/c recommendation that a letter of support for the
NOAA grant be signed by the Mayor and City Manager. Such support will be discussed at the March 19, 2002, City
Council meeting.
B. 2002 Asphalt Overlay Project Bid Award – Seven (7) bids were received and opened on March 7, 2002, for the
2002 Asphalt Overlay Project. The lowest bidder is Lakeridge Paving Company, LLC, with a total bid of $1,523,285.30.
Lakeridge Paving Company, LLC, requested their bid be withdrawn due to an error made in calculating the bid. Staff
checked Lakeridge Paving Company, LLC, experience and found that the largest overlay project completed by the
company was in the amount of $$800,000.00, which is only 50% the size of this project. Due to this, the bid went to the
second lowest responsive, responsible bidder Lakeside Industries, Inc., with a bid total of $1,710,369.65. The budget
for the 2002 Asphalt Overlay Project is $2,568,478.00. This figure is the sum of 2002 Budget, $1,626,113; carry
forward, $673,365; 2002 Structures Budget, $119,000; and 1st Avenue South Shoulder Widening Project, $150,000.
The Committee m/s/c approval of the 2002 Asphalt Overlay Project and recommended approval to the City Council at
