April 23, 2003, for the South 288th Street at SR 99 Signal and Intersection Improvements Project. Reference
checks on the Frank Coluccio Construction Company by both CH2M Hill, Inc., and City staff indicate that the
contractor has performed similar work. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Frank Coluccio Construction
Company in the amount of $1,602,840.66. The available budget of $2,885,357 adequately covers the 10%
construction contingency, construction management, planning and design, right-of-way acquisition and utility
undergrounding with a remaining project balance of $176,617. The Committee voted to recommend the City
Council approve this project at its May 20, 2003, meeting.
C. 8th Avenue SW and Dash Point Road Traffic Signal Final Acceptance and Retainage Release – At it’s
May 20, 2003, meeting, City Council will review acceptance of the 8th Avenue SW and Dash Point Road Signal
project. If the $507,797.52 project is accepted as complete, Council will authorize release of retainage to the
Potelco Company, Inc., in the amount of $50,778. The project was completed in excess of $43,000 under budget.
The Committee voted to recommend approval to the City Council.
D. 8th Avenue South and South 312th Street Traffic Signal Bid Award – The lowest responsive,

E. Authorization to Award to Lowest Responsive Bidder/Replacement Backhoe for Public Works –
The Committee recommended to the City Council at their May 20, 2003, meeting that they approve the purchase of
a new front-end loader/backhoe at a cost of $55,488 including tax from Pape’ Machinery. Pape’ was the lowest of
six bidders. Requested options bring the cost to $75,451.72. A 60-month extended warranty adds an additional
cost of $3,644.80 and brings the total to $79,096.52. Total budget for the replacement backhoe is $80,000.
F. Vactor Service Contract/Authorization to Award Bid – Everson’s EconoVac was the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder in the amount of $268,341 for vactor services for surface water infrastructure maintenance. The
contract will be written for 18 months in exchange for cost control through 2004. Disposal has become prohibitively
expensive and a new disposal vendor, TPS in Tacoma, will be used as an alternative disposal site. The Committee
voted approval of a contract with Everson’s EconoVac with a do-pass recommendation to the City Council at its
May 20, 2003, meeting.
G. I-5/South 272nd Street Interchange Design Charrette – The I-5 Interchange at South 272nd Street has
been under consideration for improvements since Sound Transit proposed to construct Direct Access HOV ramps
at this location. The City’s interest in this project is to insure adequate capacity for the northern section of Federal
Way as it develops in the future. A core team representing WSDOT, Sound Transit, King County Metro, King
County Roads, Kent and Federal Way met for a week of talks to identify project issues and needs, brainstorm
conceptual solutions and evaluate concepts. The results of the design charette included two alternatives that do
not address all outstanding concerns. Failure to continue to develop this project could imperil its potential to be
funded by various state sources. WSDOT suggested additional work be performed to further develop the project,
investigate potential environmental issues, develop better cost estimates, and build support for the project. The
Committee voted to recommend to the City Council that an additional amount up to $10,000 from the Public Works
budget be approved for City staff to continue to participate in the development of the I-5/South 272nd Street
interchange project concept development. Extension of the design charette proposal will be considered at the
Council’s next meeting on May 20, 2003.
5. FUTURE MEETINGS
The next scheduled meeting will be May 19, 2003.
