IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Parcel Nos. 113090058 and 124710054 are currently owned by the United
States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and will be
conveyed through quitclaim deed to the City of Pasco in association with the
Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) Phase 2 - Winter Storage Pond project.
Parcel No. 113090058 contains 160 acres and consists of two distinct 80 -acre
segments that are located adjacent to the north and south sides of the City’s
PWRF 80an is 124710054 No. Parcel site. -landof piece acre located
approximately two miles northeast of the PWRF site.
The PWRF provides pretreatment and final disposal via land application
(irrigation) of food processing wastewater, significantly reducing the load on the
City's municipal wastewater treatment plant and protecting Columbia River water
quality.
The City will be begin soon the process of constructing Phase 2 of the planned
improvements and modifications to the PWRF. The referenced construction
project will create three winter storage ponds that will be located on the north 80-
acre segment of Parcel No. 113090058 next to the PWRF site. The excess
materials generated by the pond excavation activities will be hauled to and
placed on the south 80-acre segment of Parcel No. 113090058 and on Parcel
No. 124710054.
V. DISCUSSION:
Over the past 18 months, City staff have diligently coordinated the land purchase
process which is now nearing the conclusion of negotiations. All necessary
documentation is prepared for the title transfer of the mentioned two pa rcels. The
pending step involves awaiting a formal notice of the land's value, which has
been established by the USBR selected appraiser.
In recent communications, a representative from UBSR Realty indicated a land
value of $1,500.00 per acre, a valuation derived from a USBR-led land
assessment. While this value has been acknowledged, the official confirmation
has yet to be received, despite expectations spanning several weeks.
The acquisition of this land is a pivotal milestone for the initiation of construction
activities for the PWRF Pretreatment improvements Phase 2 - Winter Storage
project. With the project having undergone the bidding process and being poised
for award, securing advance approval for the purchase becomes a strategic
necessity to avert unwarranted delays in the project timeline.

City staff remains dedicated to securing the formal valuation documentation
promptly, facilitating the expeditious completion of this acquisition process.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Quit Claim Deed for land transfer
between USBR and the City in relationship with the PWRF Pretreatment
Improvements Phase 2 – Winter Storage project.

Debt service on the proffered loan is less expensive than traditional debt through
a utility revenue bond. The repayment of the 2% loan fee loan can be spread
out over 10 years along with the principal amount and with a 0% interest rate
which creates a more palatable cash flow situation. By comparison, interest rates
on a revenue bond would be in the 4-5% range and combined with the additional
costs associated for issuance, would far exceed the aforementioned 2% loan fee
amount. Debt service is an annual operational cost supported by utility rates
and associated revenues, leveraging low-interest loans such as the one
proposed through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program benefits
City utility ratepayers by helping to keep rates lower.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Butterfield WTP Improvements Project is a three-phased, 20-year project
that will correct identified limitations and deficiencies at the facility to address
treatment techniques and water quality concerns, to improve plant resiliency and
redundancy, and employ new technologies and enhanced water conservation
measures for the City of Pasco.
The Butterfield WTP Plan and recent Risk and Resiliency Assessment identified
several Butterfield WTP components as either aging infrastructure and/or lacking
resiliency. To address these deficiencies, the City requires several pl anned,
large-scale, expansion/upgrade projects at the 75 -year old Butterfield WTP. In
preparation for the eventual failure of the existing Butterfield WTP, the City
completed a facility plan that identified treatment and capacity deficiencies,
compared new and existing treatment technologies to address water quality
concerns, and provided recommendations to develop a course of action for
repairing (where applicable) and/or replacing the WTP infrastructure
components.
The first improvement identified in the facilities plan is a new electrical building,
sized to accommodate current and future planned electrical loads,
supplemented with standby power generators for reliability. The existing plant
does not have backup power capabilities and although the plant is fed from two
separate power sources, neither source can run the entire plant.
Another crucial improvement project in the facilities plan recognizes the need for
a new chemical building to house the equipment and chemicals currently in use
at the plant, as well as provide space for the planned equipment for the on -site
sodium hypochlorite generation system and ozone quenching chemicals. The
current chlorine gas disinfection system is housed in a small room and lacks
sufficient storage space to house th e chlorine gas tanks. During high flow
periods, the chlorine gas is delivered to the site two or more times per week. The
associated frequent delivery/handling activities creates a significant safety
concern, given the toxicity of chlorine gas. Additionally, the current system lacks
a scrubber to mitigate the risk of a gas leak/release, fire protection system, and
other modern-day chlorine gas related safety systems.
The next large Butterfield WTP improvement identified in the facilities plan
concerns the design and construction of a new ozone treatment system, to
include on-site ozone generation, an injection system, and a concrete contactor
box. The ozone system will provide pre -oxidation and primary disinfection,
remove metals and algal toxins, facilita te the operation of the filtering system,
and mitigate taste and odor issues.
Page 38 of 169
This phase also includes smaller raw water intake and pump station
improvements. Standby power, electrical improvements, pump upgrades, and
security fencing/cameras to deter vandalism will all improve the intake facility by
the Columbia River. Replacement of the air burst cleaned intake screens with
mechanically cleaned screens will alleviate the blinding problems caused by the
recent prevalence of milfoil vegetation mats.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends approval of the $500,000 Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund Loan from the Washington State Department of Health for the Butterfield
WTP Improvement Project.

City of Pasco
PCL28205-0
I, ________________________________________________, hereby certify:
I am an attorney at law admitted to practice in the State of Washington and the duly appointed attorney of the
Contractor identified on the Declarations Page of the Contract identified above; and
I have also examined any and all documents and records, which are pertinent to the Contract, including the
application requesting this financial assistance.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
a) The Contractor is a public body, properly constituted and operating under the laws of the State of
Washington, empowered to receive and expend federal, state and local funds, to contract with the State
of Washington, and to receive and expend the funds involved to accomplish the objectives set forth in
their application.
b) The Contractor is empowered to accept the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund financial assistance
and to provide for repayment of the loan as set forth in the loan agreement.
c) There is currently no litigation in existence seeking to enjoin the commencement or completion of the
above-described public facilities project or to enjoin the Contractor from repaying the Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund loan extended by the DOH with respect to such project. The Contractor is not a
party to litigation, which will materially affect its ability to repay such loan on the terms contained in the
loan agreement.
d) Assumption of this obligation would not exceed statutory and administrative rule debt limitations
applicable to the Contractor.

Records documenting compliance with the six good faith efforts shall be retained. The six good faith efforts shall
include:
• Ensure Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent

City of Pasco Page 31 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
ATTACHMENT VI: LABOR STANDARD PROVISIONS FOR SUBRECIPIENTS THAT ARE
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
Wage Rate Requirements Under The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113 -
235)
For Subrecipients That Are Governmental Entities:
The following terms and conditions specify how recipients will assist EPA in meeting its Davis -Bacon (DB) responsibilities
when DB applies to EPA awards of financial assistance under the FY 2015 appropriations act with respect to State
recipients and subrecipients that are governmental entities. If a subrecipient has questions regarding when DB applies,
obtaining the correct DB wage determinations, DB provisions, or compliance monitoring, it may contact Department of
Health. If a State recipient needs guidance, they may obtain additional guidance from DOL’s web site at
http://www.dol.gov/whd/.
1. Applicability of the Davis- Bacon (DB) prevailing wage requirements.
Under the FY 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, DB prevailing wage requirements apply to
the construction, alteration, and repair of treatment works carried out in whole or in part with assistance made available by
a State water pollution control revolving fund and to any construction project carried out in whole or in part by assistance
made available by a drinking water treatment revolving loan fund. If a subrecipient encounters a unique situation at a site
that presents uncertainties regarding DB applicability, the subrecipient must discuss the situation with the recipient State
before authorizing work on that site.
2. Obtaining Wage Determinations.
(a) Subrecipients shall obtain the wage determination for the locality in which a covered activity subject to DB will take
place prior to issuing requests for bids, proposals, quotes or other methods for soliciting contracts (solicitation) for
activities subject to DB. These wage determinations shall be incorporated into solicitations and any s ubsequent contracts.
Prime contracts must contain a provision requiring that subcontractors follow the wage determination incorporated into the
prime contract.
(i) While the solicitation remains open, the subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov weekly to ensure that the
wage determination contained in the solicitation remains current. The subrecipients shall amend the
solicitation if DOL issues a modification more than 10 days prior t o the closing date (i.e. bid opening) for the
solicitation. If DOL modifies or supersedes the applicable wage determination less than 10 days prior to the
closing date, the subrecipients may request a finding from the State recipient that there is not a r easonable
time to notify interested contractors of the modification of the wage determination. The State recipient will
provide a report of its findings to the subrecipient.
(ii) If the subrecipient does not award the contract within 90 days of the closure of the solicitation, any
modifications or supersedes DOL makes to the wage determination contained in the solicitation shall be
effective unless the State recipient, at the request of the subrecipient, obtains an extension of the 90 day
period from DOL pursuant to 29 CFR 1.6(c)(3)(iv). The subrecipient shall monitor www.wdol.gov on a weekly
basis if it does not award the contract within 90 days of closure of the solicitation to ensur e that wage
determinations contained in the solicitation remain current.
(b) If the subrecipient carries out activity subject to DB by issuing a task order, work assignment or similar instrument to
an existing contractor (ordering instrument) rather than by publishing a solicitation, the subrecipient shall insert the
appropriate DOL wage determination from www.wdol.gov into the ordering instrument.
(c) Subrecipients shall review all subcontracts subject to DB entered into by prime contractors to verify that the prime
contractor has required its subcontractors to include the applicable wage determinations.
(d) As provided in 29 CFR 1.6(f), DOL may issue a revised wage determination applicable to a subrecipient’s contract
after the award of a contract or the issuance of an ordering instrument if DOL determines that the subrecipient has failed
to incorporate a wage determination or has used a wage determination that clearly does not a pply to the contract or
ordering instrument. If this occurs, the subrecipient shall either terminate the contract or ordering instrument and issue a
revised solicitation or ordering instrument or incorporate DOL’s wage determination retroactive to the beg inning of the
contract or ordering instrument by change order. The subrecipient’s contractor must be compensated for any increases in
wages resulting from the use of DOL’s revised wage determination.
3. Contract and Subcontract provisions.
(a) The Recipient shall insure that the subrecipient(s) shall insert in full in any contract in excess of $2,000 which is
entered into for the actual construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of a treatment work
under the CWSRF or a construction project under the DWSRF financed in whole or in part from Federal funds or in
Page 84 of 169

PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
accordance with guarantees of a Federal agency or financed from funds obtained by pledge of any contract of a Federal
agency to make a loan, grant or annual contribution (except where a different meaning is expressly indicated), and which
is subject to the labor standards provisions of any of the acts listed in § 5.1 or the FY 2015 appropriations act, the
following clauses:
(1) Minimum wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less
often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions a s
are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of
wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than
those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof,
regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon
Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the
provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly
period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are
deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the
appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed,
without regard to skill, except as provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein:
Provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is
performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph
(a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
Subrecipients may obtain wage determinations from the U.S. Department of Labor’s web site, www.dol.gov.
(ii)(A) The subrecipient(s), on behalf of EPA, shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers,
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination. The State award official shall approve a request for an additional classification
and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performe d by a classification in the wage
determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates
contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their
representatives, and the subrecipient(s) agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount d esignated for
fringe benefits where appropriate), documentation of the action taken and the request, including the local wage
determination shall be sent by the subrecipient (s) to the State award official. The State award official will transmit the
request, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, Washington, DC 20210 and to the EPA DB Regional Coordinator concurrently. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification request within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the State award official or will notify the State award official within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives,
and the subrecipient(s) do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits, where appropriate), the award official shall refer the request and the local wage determination, including
the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the State award official, to the Administrator for
determination. The request shall be sent to the EPA DB Regional Coordinator concurrently. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt of the request and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or (C) of
this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this cont ract from the first day on which
work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe
benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contrac tor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage
determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
Page 85 of 169
City of Pasco Page 33 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may consider as part of the
wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the contrac tor, that
the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set
aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(2) Withholding. The subrecipient(s), shall upon written request of the EPA Award Official or an authorized representative
of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage
requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including a pprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of
the wages required by the contract, the (Agency) may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner,
take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advanc e, or guarantee of funds
until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and
preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such
records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification,
hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash
equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours
worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv)
that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits
under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records
which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and
records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing
apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship
programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage
rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls to
the subrecipient, that is, the entity that receives the sub -grant or loan from the State capitalization grant recipient. Such
documentation shall be available on request of the State recipient or EPA. As to each payroll copy recei ved, the
subrecipient shall provide written confirmation in a form satisfactory to the State indicating whether or not the project is in
compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) based on the most recent payroll copies for the specified week.
The payrolls shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on the weekly payrolls.
Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four
digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form
desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at
http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the
submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social
security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the subrecipient(s)
for transmission to the State or EPA if requested by EPA, the State, the contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a
violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers
to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the subrecipient(s).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the contractor or
subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and
shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of
Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR
part 5, and that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the
payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no
deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as
set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
Page 86 of 169
City of Pasco Page 34 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or ca sh
equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into
the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH -347
shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this
section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal
prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 231 of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available fo r
inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the State, EPA or the Department of Labor, and shall
permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor
fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency or State may, after written notice to the
contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further
payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make
such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees--
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed
when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the
U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and
Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her
first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not indivi dually
registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor
Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an
apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater
than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a
payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any
apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is
performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage
rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered
program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program
for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable
wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordan ce with the provisions of the apprenticeship
program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of
fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that
determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a Sta te
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no
longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has
received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified
in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of
the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of
fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that
there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination
which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices . Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is
not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the
Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no longer be
Page 87 of 169
City of Pasco Page 35 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in
conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amende d, and 29 CFR part
30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3,
which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the EPA determines may by appropriate, and also a clause requiring the
subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be r esponsible for the
compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(7) Contract termination; debarment. A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of
the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and
Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not
be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the
procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause
include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and Subrecipient(s), St ate, EPA, the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an
interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a)
of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for a ward of a Government contract by
virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 USC 1001.
4. Contract Provision for Contracts in Excess of $100,000.
(a) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The subrecipient shall insert the following clauses set forth in
paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) of this section in full in any contract in an amount in excess of $100,000 and subject t o
the overtime provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. These clauses shall be inserted in addition
to the clauses required by Item 3, above or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics
include watchmen and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may
require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any
workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such
laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one -half times the basic rate of pay for all
hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph (a)(1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for t he unpaid
wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under
contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Suc h
liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and
guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each
calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty
hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The subrecipient, upon written request of the EPA Award
Official or an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, shall withhold or cause to be withheld, from any
moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other
Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be
necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as
provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph
(a)(1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
Page 88 of 169
City of Pasco Page 36 of 36 Attachment VI: Labor Standards Provisions
PCL28205 DWSRF NT Preconstruction Loan Contract
(Municipal)
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section.
(b) In addition to the clauses contained in Item 3, above, in any contract subject only to the Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act and not to any of the other statutes cited in 29 CFR 5.1, the Subrecipient shall insert a clause
requiring that the contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the course of the
work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of the contract for all laborers and
mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the contract. Such records shall contain the name and address
of each such employee, social security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and weekly
number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Further, the Subrecipient shall insert in any such
contract a clause providing hat the records to be maintained under this paragraph shall be made available by the
contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the (write the name of
agency) and the Department of Labor, and the contractor or subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview
employees during working hours on the job.
5. Compliance Verification
(a) The subrecipient shall periodically interview a sufficient number of employees entitled to DB prevailing wages
(covered employees) to ver ify that contractors or subcontractors are paying the appropriate wage rates. As provided in 29
CFR 5.6(a)(6), all interviews must be conducted in confidence. The subrecipient must use Standard Form 1445 (SF
1445) or equivalent documentation to memorialize the interviews. Copies of the SF 1445 are available from EPA on
request.
(b) The subrecipient shall establish and follow an interview schedule based on its assessment of the risks of
noncompliance with DB posed by contractors or subcontractors and the duration of the contract or subcontract.
Subrecipients must conduct more frequent interviews if the initial interviews or other information indicated that there is a
risk that the contractor or subcontractor is not complying with DB.
Subrecipients shall immediately conduct interviews in response to an alleged violation of the prevailing wage
requirements. All interviews shall be conducted in confidence."
(c) The subrecipient shall periodically conduct spot checks of a representative sample of weekly p ayroll data to verify that
contractors or subcontractors are paying the appropriate wage rates. The subrecipient shall establish and follow a spot
check schedule based on its assessment of the risks of noncompliance with DB posed by contractors or subcont ractors
and the duration of the contract or subcontract. At a minimum, if practicable, the subrecipient should spot check payroll
data within two weeks of each contractor or subcontractor’s submission of its initial payroll data and two weeks prior to the
completion date the contract or subcontract. Subrecipients must conduct more frequent spot checks if the initial spot
check or other information indicates that there is a risk that the contractor or subcontractor is not complying with DB. In
addition, during the examinations the subrecipient shall verify evidence of fringe benefit plans and payments thereunder
by contractors and subcontractors who claim credit for fringe benefit contributions.
(d) The subrecipient shall periodically review contractors and subcontractors use of apprentices and trainees to verify
registration and certification with respect to apprenticeship and training programs approved by either the U.S Department
of Labor or a state, as appropriate, and that contractors and subcontracto rs are not using disproportionate numbers of,
laborers, trainees and apprentices. These reviews shall be conducted in accordance with the schedules for spot checks
and interviews described in Item 5(b) and (c) above.
(e) Subrecipients must immediately report potential violations of the DB prevailing wage requirements to the Department
of Health and to the appropriate DOL Wage and Hour District Office listed at https://www.dol.gov/whd/local/.

Mayor Barajas will read the proclamation for "Attendance Awareness Month"
scheduled for September 2023 and present the proclamation to United Way
Benton & Franklin Counties Community Impact Director Jessica Sagdal,
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Proclamations issued by the Mayor of the City of Pasco provide an opportunity
for the City to recognize exceptional events. The goal of a proclamation is to
recognize and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Pasco community
members and non-profit organizations, honor occasions of importance and
significance, and increase public awareness of issues to improve the well-being
of the people of this city.
Information on how to request proclamations is available on the City's website
(also attached) to provide equitable opportunity for community members and
organizations to have their events and achievements recognized and celebrated.
During Attendance Awareness Month, public agencies, educators, schools,
public officials, civic organizations, businesses, and families come together to
promote school attendance so children have an opportunity to learn and flourish.
Being absent from school just two days each month for any reason equates to
missing 10% of instructional time and valuable information needed to ensure
Page 90 of 169
academic progress. Promoting regular school attendance is important for all
students but critical for our most vulnerable youth. Communities across the
country have started helping schools address chronic absences by building
public awareness and leveraging resources. Below is the vision for attendance
from our partners at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI):
• Absences can reflect inequities created by our systems (education,
economic, transportation, health)
• Absences can signal when a student or family might need more support
• Absences are a signal that cues us to take an inquiry stance and get
curious about why students aren’t attending
• Students and families are often our best source of information to
understand how to increase attendance and engagement
• Attendance is a stepping stone to engagement; a necessary precursor of
engagement or mastery
• Attendance tells us when a student has accessed instruction
• Responding to absences is more effective when it is positive and
proactive, not punitive
V. DISCUSSION:
Mayor Barajas will present Attendance Awareness Proclamation to United Way
Benton & Franklin Counties Community Impact Director Jessica Sagdal.

Proclamation
“Attendance Awareness Month”
September 2023
WHEREAS, good attendance in school remains essential to student achievement and progress
toward graduation; and
WHEREAS, chronic absence – missing 10 percent, two or three days a month, or more – is a
predictor of academic trouble and dropout rates, and weakens our communities and local economy;
and
WHEREAS, all students, even those who show up regularly, are affected by chronic absence
because teachers must spend time reviewing for students who missed lessons; and
WHEREAS, student absenteeism can be significantly reduced when schools, parents, and
communities work together to monitor and promote good attendance and address hurdles that keep
children from participating in school;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Blanche Barajas, Mayor of the City of Pasco, Washington, do hereby
proclaim September 2023 as,
“Attendance Awareness Month”
and, encourage our community members to join in and stand with the nation in its commitment
to the academic success of all students.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the
City of Pasco, State of Washington, to be affixed this 21st day of August 2023.

2023. All permitted activity in the City is included in the totals whether
a small or large scale improvement or new construction. While the
count of permits is lower, permit values overall have increased.
Notable 2023 changes include an increase in value (+200%) of multi-
family permits. 2022 activity includes high value warehouse
construction. However, 2023 increases in permits issued in the types
of business professional, business service, and major alterations
account for 66% of the warehouse permit value. Industrial category
agricultural type permits and major alterations permits are strong in
2023. The only permit category with 2023 activity under 2022 activity
in count and value of permits is residential. This decrease is primarily
in single family dwelling units, down approximately 40%. Permit values
for major (20%) and minor (10%) alterations and accessory dwelling
units (120%) have increased.

Over the past many years the City has benefitted from construction sales tax.
Large scale projects in 2022 significantly impacted sales tax revenue. Below is a
comparison of monthly receipts by year. 2023 revenues are greater than those of
2021, but below 2022 collection. Sales tax collected in 2022 related to one large
scale construction project attributes for the tax revenue difference.

The City has a biennial budget for the calendar years of 2023-2024.
Through June month end of 2023, 25% of the biennium has passed.
Certain categories of revenue are not received in a level fashion.
Sales tax, the General Fund's largest source of revenue, is
recognized monthly but typically two months in arrears. The
percentage recorded through June 2023 is 14.7% of biennial
revenue. Due to the delayed receipt equating to 4/24th (four
months of a two year period), the linear expectation is equal to
16.67%. For example, revenue reported through June of 2023 is for
sales through April 2023. Not until year end is closed,
approximately March 2024, will all sales tax revenue for 2023 be
recorded. Utility tax accounts for a significant revenue stream for
the General Fund. As of June 2023, 23.87% of budgeted utility tax
revenue is recognized. While property tax revenues are recorded
throughout the year, the largest installments are received in April
and October. As expected, the revenue thus far accounts for
28.87% of the biennium. Charges for services category are a result
of service provision to the public and other City departments.
Included are items like inter-fund changes for engineering and
administrative services, fire protection at the airport, utility bill
collection fees and planning and permitting type fees. Internal
billings are often a month in arrears making revenue lag slightly.

Enterprise Fund - Revenues
General Fund Financial Report / Page 8
The enterprise fund is composed of City Utility System Activity that is
accounted for individually. This segregation is crucial to uniquely assess
individual utility financial results and need rate requirements. The primary
revenue source for the utilities are charges for services. The summer time
billing months of June through October are seasonally high revenue months
for the water, irrigation, and sewer utility systems. Charge for services
revenues are representative of expectations thus far in the biennium. The
other major revenues are provided by new system users in the form of a
connection fee and debt proceeds to fund capital projects. Each categories'
revenue timing are dependent on related project timing. The new service
capital revenue category is partially composed of activity for projects that
are externally driven and outside City control. If projects are not initiated
and funds secured, correlating capital expenses will not occur.

The Construction Fund reflects activity associated to City projects that are
not utility supporting. Included in this category are transportation, parks
and recreation facilities, general government facility improvements, like Fire
Station 85, and the animal control facility construction. Revenue is typically
received on a reimbursement basis, meaning the expenses will post to this
fund first. Then, revenues will be received to reimburse activity based on
supporting funds, debt proceeds or grants. The miscellaneous revenue
category represents either projects that are externally driven and outside
City control or unfunded. Correlating budgeted capital expenses will not
occur until funds are secured.

With the exception of Internal Service Funds, City-wide revenues and expenses
recorded through the month ended June 30, 2023 are lower than a linear
calculation of budget through 25% of the biennium. Internal Service fund
expenses are high in the supplies and service expense categories. This activity
will be monitored as the year continues. Depending upon market conditions it
may be necessary to adjust the budget.
June month-end elapsed time is approximately 25% of the biennium. When
looking at all City activity recorded the following activity has been reflected in
the budget:
Expense Category Percentage of Budget Used as of June
30, 2023
Transfers & Subsidies 4.13%

Financial Outlook
Quarter Two 2023 Financial Report / Page 16 Page 110 of 169
Overall, expenses recorded are less than budgeted as compared to time in
this biennium (25%), with the exception of services.
Across City departments, various rate studies and analysis efforts are
underway. Included are capital connection and impact fees, both of which
are important to accurately price the cost of growth balanced against
infrastructure investments made by existing rate and tax payers.
Departments are currently in the process of creating their Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) for years 2023 - 2029. This plan is a crucial step in
financial planning, providing a method to integrate many department specific
master and strategic plans with community needs and desires. While projects
are only funded based on budget appropriation, the CIP informs budget level
decisions. Budgetary decisions, and resulting efforts, of the City Council and
City staff are based on the input of many stakeholders. The creation of the
CIP will help inform challenging decision making and wise stewardship of
public funds.
Approximately, September of this year a mid-biennium review will begin. In
that review, finance and department staff will analyze YTD activity and
trends, evaluate needs or concerns that arise based on current year
experience and present identified budget amendments to Council. Revenue
analysis will be an important part of this analysis and impact budgetary
decisions for the remaining of the biennium.
Retail sales tax, hotel/motel tax and real estate excise tax will be carefully
monitored and considered as these funds are need to support spending.
Other revenue types listed below that are less than year in biennium budget
percentage are often tied to capital project progression and therefore less of
a concern. However, assessment of all revenues will occur.

SUBJECT:Ordinance No. 4678 - Creating Pasco Municipal Code Title 18 Public Art
and Murals
I.REFERENCE(S):
Ordinance
Memorandum: Mural Code and Paint Pasco - Public Mural Program
II.ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4678, amending Pasco Municipal
Code, Chapter 17.10 Definitions, Sections 17.15.010, Interpretation of Sign
Allowance Table and 17.20.010 Permits, Fees and Inspection, and creating a
new Title 18 Public Art and Murals and, further, publish by summary only.
III.FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
IV.HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In January 2023, the City Council officially adopted the Downtown Pasco
Master Plan, a comprehensive framework comprising the vision, goals, and
strategies that will shape the development of Downtown Pasco. This plan is the
result of extensive community input, rigorous analysis of existing conditions,
best practices, and a keen focus on leveraging the unique opportunities
present in our vibrant city center.
A central objective of the Downtown Pasco Master Plan is to cultivate a
downtown that genuinely reflects the essence of Pasco's History, People, and
Culture. To accomplish this, a significant emphasis has been placed on
enhancing the artistic landscape, both through private and public art
installations.
Page 113 of 169
In alignment with the Master Plan's vision, one of the key initiatives involves the
establishment of a public mural and art program. This endeavor necessitates a
crucial modification to the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC), separating "murals"
from the Sign Code (PMC Title 17). Additionally, a City-led mural program will
be established, collaboratively developed with the valuable input of community
partners.
V.DISCUSSION:
In collaboration with various City departments, the public, and the consultant
team (Framework), staff prepared an amendment for Council approval. The
ordinance prepared includes minor changes and refinements per the
discussion held at the July 24, 2023, City Council Workshop. The ordinance
received a comprehensive legal review. Lastly, the ordinance will create a new
title for the Pasco Municipal Code, Title 18 Public Art and Murals.

MEMO
To:Jacob Gonzalez,Director of Community Development,City of Pasco
From:Jeff Arango,AICP and Lesley Bain,Principals,Framework Cultural Placemaking
Date:July 19,2023
Re:Mural Code +Paint Pasco -Public Mural Program
Over view
The City of Pasco desires to update the municipal code to decouple murals from the sign code,
provide a simple process for review of murals to ensure they are not offensive or considered
signs,and to implement a public mural program.This memo summarizes the proposed
updates to the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC),guidance on the process for creating a mural,and
funding for the public mural program.
Pasco Municipal Code Updates
The following summarizes the proposed updates to the PMC regarding murals:
■Remove all references to murals in the sign code contained in PMC Title 17.
■Establish a new section in PMC 21.177 for murals
■Add a new definition for murals in PMC 21.177 as follows:“Wall mural or artwork”
means a mural or artwork painted on a building wall does not have a commercial
message,name,or other advertisement incorporated.Murals are not considered signs
and therefore are not subject to the standards in PMC Title 17.Exterior surface color
alone is not considered a mural or artwork.
■Establishes the Arts Commission as the review body to ensure that proposed murals are
not considered signs or offensive.Content of murals will not otherwise be regulated.
However,publicly funded murals will have oversight from the Arts Commission.
■Establishes voluntary guidelines for privately funded murals for those interested in
taking advantage of the expertise and resources of the arts commissioners.The
voluntary guidelines are to encourage community collaboration on murals.The
voluntary guidelines would be required for murals funded under the public program
proposed as “Paint Pasco”.
7/19/23 |1
Page 136 of 169
Paint Pasco -Public Mural Program
The City of Pasco desires to kickstart and manage a public mural program.To be successful,
the program must establish the program purpose,the connection to City and community
interests and goals,and the process for soliciting interests,reviewing design proposals,and
allocating funding.Murals are also addressed in a new section in the Pasco Municipal Code
under PMC 21.177 and this section is intended to guide the public mural program.
Mural Program Purpose +Intent
1.To celebrate the people,history,and culture of Pasco
2.To promote the arts and opportunities for professional artists
3.To support a thriving economy in Pasco
4.To support the activity and investment in Downtown and other neighborhoods in Pasco
5.To encourage collaboration in the community and with the City Arts Commission on
murals
6.To ensure the mural program is constitutional and protects 1st Amendment rights
Mural Process
Murals under this program can be implemented in several different ways and generally at the
discretion of the Arts Commission.Examples include the Arts Commission leading
development of a mural on a public building,the Arts Commission issuing a call for design
proposals/applications with funding through the Arts Commission,or a design competition led
by the Arts Commission.Privately funded murals are not subject to the requirements of the
public mural program but are subject to applicable sections of PMC 21.177.However,all
murals funded under this program must meet the following requirements:
1.Murals funded under this program must be approved by the Arts Commission and will
be reviewed based on the required and voluntary standards in PMC 21.177.The Arts
Commission has the full authority to deny funding for projects that do not meet the
criteria or otherwise are not in the interest of the City of Pasco and the community.
2.The mural must be maintained on the property for a minimum of 10 years unless a
replacement is approved by the Arts Commission.
3.A signed indemnification must be provided from property owners where the mural is
located to the City of Pasco.
The following section summarizes some of the key strategies for implementing murals under
this program:
7/19/23 |2
Page 137 of 169
Murals on City or Publicly Owned Property
The Arts Commission may choose to directly solicit a mural design from a professional artist for
public locations such as on City owned buildings.The Arts Commission may establish a theme
or design parameters for any mural solicitation process.The review and selection process shall
be conducted at a public meeting by the Arts Commission.
Murals on Private Property
Murals can be funded through this program for locations on private property.The Arts
Commission may issue a call for proposals where people can apply to have their mural funded
through the program.Solicitations for mural applications under the program may include a
specific theme,elements,or approach for the mural by the Arts Commission.All murals on
private property shall be selected through a solicitation process from the Arts Commission that
is publicly noticed and allows multiple applicants to apply.The Arts Commission may choose
to allow applications on a rolling basis.
Mural Costs
The cost of a mural includes the following,all of which have a range of costs depending on the
mural and conditions:
■paying for the artist concept and the approval process
■preparing the wall for the paint
■scaffolding
■paint and materials
■Installation
The cost will vary depending on the artist engaged and the amount of detail in the mural.
However,there is a range that generally falls between $25 and $50 per square foot of wall
painted.
We recommend an allotment of $24,000 from the City of Pasco,which would cover the cost of
two murals located in highly visible locations.Assuming $40 per square foot,this would allow
completion of two 300 sf murals (i.e.each 12 feet high and 25 feet long).

Reuse Facility Ph 2: Winter Storage
I.REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Vicinity Map
II.ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4679, amending the 2023-2034
Biennial Capital Project Budget (Ordinance No. 4620) of the City of Pasco,
Washington, additional provide to supplement providing by thereto;
appropriation in the City's Process Water Reuse Facility Utility Fund, and,
further, authorize publication by summary only.
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4369, awarding the Process Water
Reuse Facility Phase 2 Winter Storage project to Tapani, Inc. of Battle Ground,
Washington, in the amount of $31,588,246.92, including Washington State
Sales Tax, and further authorize the City Manager to execute the contract
documents.
III.FISCAL IMPACT:
PWRF Ph 2 Winter Storage Construction Contract: $31,588,246.92
Funding Sources for this project:
Low Interest Loan, Department of Ecology: $52.27 million maximum
loan amount.
The Loan Agreement is currently in negotiation and will be presented to
Council once a final draft is available.
Debt service on the construction contract loan amount over twenty years, with
an interest rate of 1.20% produces an average annual payment of $1.785M.
Page 139 of 169
This payment amount will be included with other PWRF Pretreatment
Improvement project costs and distributed to PWRF food processors based on
winter storage needs and operational requirements. Darigold will be
responsible for approximately 60% of the total cost based on their original
winter storage volume request. Twin City Foods, Reser's Fine Foods, and
Simplot will be responsible for 15% of the total cost based on their winter
storage volume request. Grimmway, Pasco Processing, and Freeze Pack
have all revised their original winter storage volume requests and the impacts
of these changes are being evaluated in terms of cost impacts to all
processors.
The distribution of costs for this project, and all other PWRF Pretreatment
Improvement project phases, are included in a rate study developed by FCS in
coordination with the PWRF processors. Estimated processor costs are being
updated in the rate model based on recent bids. Final payment will be
determined upon completion of all four phases of the Pretreatment
Improvement project.
IV.HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The referenced construction project encompasses Phase 2 of the planned
improvements and modifications to the City's existing Process Water Reuse
Facility (PWRF) located just north of the City limits. The PWRF provides
pretreatment and final disposal via land application (irrigation) of food
processing wastewater, significantly reducing the load on the City's municipal
wastewater treatment plant and protecting Columbia River water quality.
The PWRF stores process wastewater in on-site storage ponds during the
winter and pumps both new and stored process wastewater for irrigation in the
spring, summer, and fall. The proposed project will construct 3 storage ponds,
each with an approximate capacity of 100 million gallons, and associated site
infrastructure to provide additional storage for the expansion of existing
processors and for new food processing plants, such as Darigold, within the
PWRF service area.
The storage ponds will be located on land currently owned by the US Bureau of
Reclamation on an 80-acre parcel to the north of the existing PWRF site. The
City is in the process of obtaining fee title for this site and anticipates transfer of
ownership in September 2023.
V.DISCUSSION:
As part of a competitive formal bidding process, the City solicited sealed public
bids for the PWRF Phase 2 Winter Storage project beginning June 2, 2023.
Bids for the project were received electronically and opened at 2:00 PM on
Page 140 of 169
August 4, 2023, at Pasco City Hall. A total of four (4) sealed bids were
received. The lowest apparent bid was submitted by Tapani, Inc. of Battle
Ground, Washington, in the amount of $31,588,246.92, including Washington
State Sales Tax. The Engineer's Estimate for the project is $ 45,407,761.73.
Tapani, Inc. was deemed to be a responsive and responsible bidder.
Bid Tabulation:
Tapani, Inc.$ 31,588,246.92
Rotschy, Inc.$ 33,065,684.21
Apollo, Inc.$ 37,808,731.70
Goodfellow Bros LLC $ 38,623,049.00
City staff and the City’s Consultant reviewed Tapani's bid submittal and finds
no exceptions or irregularities.
City staff recommends award of the bid by resolution to Tapani, Inc. of Battle
Ground, Washington, in the amount of $31,588,246.92, including Washington
State Sales Tax.
As authorized by Resolution No. 4258, staff submitted an application to the
State Fiscal Year 2024 Water Quality Combined Funding Program to finance
the construction phase of the Project. The Project ranked No. 31 on the State
Fiscal Year 2024 Final Water Quality Funding Offer List. The City is currently
negotiating the contract for the low interest Revolving Fund Standard Loan to
fund the construction phase. When the loan documents are finalized, staff will
return to ask Council to amend the 2023-2024 Biennial Capital Projects Budget
to reflect the total construction loan amount for the Project.
FCS Group has been engaged to perform a cost of service rate study to
evaluate food the from requirements revenue and PWRF needed rate
processors. This work has been ongoing for many months and has been done
with direct coordination with the food processors. The cost of service rate
study, which is the basis for each processors wastewater treatment agreement
(WTA), includes regular cost elements such as operational costs, debt service,
rate funded capital, and required debt service coverage.
As such, included in the rate study are the financial impacts of the debt
issuance for the subject Phase 2 project. Also included in the rate study are
the additional capital and operational costs associated with the Phase 3
LRAD/RNG/RAB project currently under construction as well as the completed
Phase 1 (potable water/electrical upgrades) project and the upcoming Phase 4
(farm irrigation system upgrade) project.
Council's approval of the WTAs, which will be based on the rate study, and
forthcoming municipal code amendments will be necessary to ensure sufficient

fund revenue requirements from the processors.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As part of a long-term project to improve GESA Stadium, City staff worked with
the Tri-Cities Dust Devils and Major League Baseball to identify improvements
to the stadium to improve both player and fan experience.
In 2019, fan seating and lighting upgrades were completed. In 2021 new batting
cages were installed.
In order to satisfy the standards for Minor League Baseball (MLB) Parks and
preserve the presence of the Dust Devils team in the community, the proposed
project consists of remodeling of the home team's and visiting team's clubhouses
and the expansion of the home team's and visiting team's locker rooms. The
project scope accounts for furnishing of all labor, materials, and equipment
necessary for the remodeling and expansion of existing facilities.
V. DISCUSSION:
The bid for this project was divided into three parts; a Base bid, Bid alternate #1
and Bid alternate #2. A description of these three parts are as follows:
Base Bid
• Installation of a new fire line and fire sprinklers in both home team and
visiting team clubhouses.
• Expansion of the home team locker room and construction of a new
visiting team locker room.
• Renovating the current home team locker room into the training room.
• Renovating the home team training room into a cafeteria area.
• Renovating the home and visiting teams field managers offices.
• Relocating and installing new HVAC and electrical in the renovated and
expanded spaces.
Page 148 of 169
Bid alternate #1
• Painting all existing painted surfaces in the home team and visiting team
club houses.
Bid alternate #2
• Installing new acoustical tiles in the home team and visiting team club
houses.
