added to the landscape maintenance contract. The Committee M/S/C that the City Council authorize bids

The approved budget for the 2004 Right-of-Way Landscape Maintenance Contract is $160,000.
B. 14th Avenue South/South 312th Street Traffic Signal Project 100% Design Approval/Authorization
to Bid – There have been approximately ten vehicle collisions at the intersection of 14th Avenue South and
South 312th Street (behind and beside QFC and Albertsons). The intersection meets warrants for a
complete traffic signal. The proposed project will include modifying and adding to the existing pedestrian
signal to allow traffic on 14th Avenue South and the private QFC driveway to actuate the signal. This new
signal will be interconnected and coordinated with signals at SR99 and 8th Avenue South at South 312th
Street. Total project expenditure is expected to be $184,799.27 with a current available budget of $164,813.
A budget shortfall of $19,986.27 would be created. Staff expects a low bid in the current competitive bidding
climate. Should that not occur, funds to cover the proposed project will be requested from unappropriated
Streets Capital funds. The Committee M/S/C recommendation to the City Council of approval of the 100%
design plans for the 14th Avenue South and South 312th Street Traffic Signal Project and to authorize staff to
bid the project with a return to the City Council for authority to award the project to the lowest responsive,
