ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 8/25: DISCUSSION III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. Council's adopted 2014 -2015 goals included irnglementation of a neighborhood revitalization plan for the area between 100' and 5 Avenues. B. In 2012, staff began surveying the condition of city streets and sidewalks east of 10th Avenue to identify those that would benefit from the development of a revitalization plan of repairs. Based upon results from the field surveys a project area was defined and includes Margaret, Park, Sylvester and Nixon Streets bound by 5th Avenue to the east and by 10th Avenue to the west. Within the overall project area, Park Street contains the highest level of sidewalk damage and the highest number of large street trees proposed for replacement. C. In 2013, staff began the scoping process by mailing information and holding a series of neighborhood meetings with affected property owners. Five neighborhood meetings have been held. D. At the April 28, 2014 Workshop Meeting, Council reviewed the Sylvester's Addition Neighborhood Revitalization Plan and recommended a public hearing be held by the Planning Commission. E. On June 19, 2014 a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission to receive testimony on whether or not the Plan should be adopted. F. On July 17, 2014 the Planning Commission recommended Council adopt the Sylvester's Addition Neighborhood Revitalization Plan as contained in the June 19, 2014 Planning Commission report. G. On July 21, 2014 Council approved the 2014 CDBG allocation amendment which included $100,000 to be used for the first phase of project activities proposed by the Plan. �,J V. DISCUSSION: A. The Sylvester's Addition Neighborhood Revitalization Plan recommends replacing sidewalks in an area of the community having a high concentration of sidewalk damage. To ensure longevity of new sidewalks, the Plan also proposes to replace mature and failing street trees and to install dry landscape irrigation systems serving the right -of -way landscape strips. B. Based on testimony received during the public hearing and the recommendation of the Planning Commission, staff has revised the Plan to offer two options related to tree removals and plantings within the project area. Option 1 offers property owners the opportunity to retain their existing street trees when appropriate. Option 2 offers property owners the opportunity not to receive a new tree planting upon request by the property owner. C. Once construction has been completed within the one -block area of Park Street known as "Phase 1 ", staff intends to proceed with surveying, scoping and construction related to the remaining two blocks of Park Street. Following completion of construction activities on Park Street, the Plan proposes to repeat field surveying and public scoping processes for subsequent "sub- areas" as identified in the Plan. D. If Council is in favor of the Revitalization Plan, staff will prepare a resolution for Council action at the September 2, 2014 Council meeting. MEMORANDUM DATE: July 17, 2014 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I SUBJECT: Sylvester's Addition Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (MF# PLAN 2013 -003) Council's adopted 2012 -2013 goals included development and implementation of a neighborhood revitalization plan east of 10th Avenue and west of the BNRR mainline. In 2012, staff began surveying the condition of city streets and sidewalks east of 10th Avenue to identify those that would benefit from the development of a revitalization plan of repairs. Based upon results from the field surveys a project area was defined and includes Margaret, Park, Sylvester and Nixon Streets bound by 5th Avenue to the east and by 10th Avenue to the west. Within the overall project area, Park Street contains the highest level of sidewalk damage and the highest number of large street trees proposed for replacement. In 2013, staff began the scoping process by mailing information and holding a series of neighborhood meetings with affected property owners. To date, five neighborhood meetings have been held. Throughout the public involvement process, property owners were relatively agreeable to the need for sidewalk repairs but were discouraged by the need to remove the large existing street trees that give the neighborhood much of its character. However, several property owners provided perspective on the dangerous condition of many of the street trees and the high cost for their removal. The Plan recommends that the priority repair area containing the highest concentration of severe tree and sidewalk issues (Park Street between 5th and 7th Avenues) be the initial subject of an application for CDBG funds to remove and replace the sidewalk and street trees. An application for 2015 Community Development Block Grant funds has been prepared and submitted by staff for this purpose. The Plan also recommends that dry irrigation lines be installed in conjunction with the sidewalk repairs so adjacent property owners will have the ability to provide underground irrigation to the planting strips adjacent their property. Currently few owners have this ability. Maintenance of the planting strips is the responsibility of the adjacent owner per our existing Municipal Code provisions. During the June 19, 2014 public hearing, the Planning Commission provided direction regarding the following question: 1) Should homeowners be provided the option of choosing not to have a new street tree planted in front of their homes? Based on the Planning Commission's direction related to the question above, staff has modified the Plan accordingly by adding two options related to trees. Option -1 provides property owners the opportunity to retain existing street trees where practical. Option -2 provides property owners the opportunity to choose whether or not a new tree will be planted in the landscape area abutting their property. Motion: I move to recommend the City Council approve the Sylvester's Addition Neighborhood Revitalization Plan.

The plats that followed continued the same theme with streets forming the nucleus of the City by 1921 laid out with 8o -foot wide street rights -of -way. In early plats the streets were improved with 30 to 40 foot road surfaces typically centered in the 8o foot right -of -way. On either side of the road surface was another 20 to 25 feet of right -of -way developed with large planting strips (lawn and large trees) and five -foot wide sidewalks. The sidewalks were often placed near the outer edge of the right -of -way adjacent to the abutting lots. Streets were designed in this manner to allow for the gradual increase in pavement width as neighborhoods grew. Once built however, the streets in the subject project area were not changed. As the original Pasco neighborhoods aged and automobile ownership per household increased so did the demand on on- street parking availability; as a result the large planting strips became an area for the storage of vehicles, equipment and other items. Responding to citizen complaints about the lack of planting strip maintenance, the City Council amended the municipal code in 1994 to require all planting strips to be maintained with lawn, trees and ground cover. Within the planting strips the parking of motor vehicles, boats, campers and trailers was also prohibited along with the storage of lumber, firewood and other items generally. The neighborhoods referenced above (located in the central core of the community west of the BNSF rail mainline and loth Avenue) were established just before and after the year 19oo. Many of the homes in these neighborhoods are approaching 75 -years of age. Designed for a different age, the narrow streets and smaller lots create parking constraints for residents today who rely heavily on automobiles for everyday activities. The once attractively landscaped planting strips with large shade trees now create another set of issues for the neighborhoods. Over the past 75 — loo years, the trees originally planted in the right -of -way as part of the streetscape design have grown substantially. Mostly Silver Maples, the trees have reached over fifty feet in height. These trees have reached their maturity and have begun failing in terms of structure and overall appearance. Woody debris consistently falls into the right -of- way and as much as co- dominant stems or entire trees have begun to fall during high wind events. This condition is hazardous to people and property; cars can be damaged and people may be harmed by the falling debris. 3 The purpose of this study is to develop a neighborhood revitalization plan to address the issues of mature and failing street trees, damaged sidewalks and parking availability. (Vehicle damaged by a tree in 2012) History A series of sidewalk damage field surveys conducted during 2012 revealed concentrations of damage to city sidewalks. The predominant type of sidewalk damage observed was upheaval caused by trees located within City right -of -way planting strips. Generally, neighborhoods containing more large /mature trees are those with the most sidewalk damage. Only moderate to severe levels of damage were noted as needing repair and appear as individual points shown in the attached maps. Much of the damage surveyed exists within an area of town (illustrated in the Area Priority Ranking- Map, see appendix) originally platted in Sylvester's Addition [also known as Sylvester's Second Addition (1889) and Sylvester's Third Addition (1891)]. All rights -of -way contained in these Plats are eighty (80) feet wide, fifty feet of which is occupied by sidewalks and landscaping strips containing medium to large sized trees. The remaining thirty (30) feet of the right -of -way contains the road surface. Despite the relatively wide rights -of -way, the roads themselves are relatively narrow. The narrow road issue is further compounded by the use of on- street parking. Because many of the homes in the Sylvester's Addition were constructed without driveways, the on- street parking in the area is heavily used. Access to these properties was limited to alleys only. As a result on street parking is heavily used often reducing the travel lane widths, creating congestion and a cluttered streetscape view. 11 Problem Statement Well- functioning residential neighborhoods contain uniform and predictable sidewalk surfaces without abrupt changes. Sidewalk surfaces should be flat and even without large cracks, uplift or sinkholes. Unfortunately, the Sylvester's Addition neighborhood contains a high concentration of sidewalk damage caused by trees, vehicles and unauthorized repairs. Repairs to damaged sidewalks can be expensive and involve the use of heavy machinery. Sidewalk repairs are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, but can often be expensive and inefficient if done in a piecemeal fashion. If the sidewalk damage in residential areas persists or increases it may lead to an increase in civil lawsuits at a potentially significant cost to both property owners and the City. Plan Goals The purpose of this study is to develop a neighborhood revitalization plan to address the issues of damaged sidewalks and parking availability. Accomplishing the goals may involve the following types of activities: physical changes to the right -of -way configuration, removal of mature street trees, modification to right -of -way irrigation systems and sidewalk replacement. This Plan aims to outline how and where these activities should be applied. Background Scoping & Public Involvement Neighborhood meetings were held in February, April, June and December of 2013 and March of 2014, to allow property owners within the project area opportunities to provide staff with input and information relevant to various aspects of the proposed projects' goals and objectives. Throughout the scoping process some property owners expressed opposition to any proposals involving widening road surfaces; citing the example of the W. Henry Street road widening project where vehicle speeds increased as a result. Residents view the faster traveling vehicles as a nuisance and/or hazard. 7 Alternatives Proposed Originally staff presented a set of five alternate project goal statements to be used in guiding path forward for project activities. Early on staff narrowed it down to a set of three project goal alternates which were then presented to the neighborhood. During the first couple of neighborhood meetings it became clear that the stakeholders were most closely aligned with the goals contained in Alternate #1. The three proposed project goal alternates are listed below. Alternate i Remove problem trees, repair damaged sidewalk and replant street friendly trees. Alternate z Remove problem trees, repair sidewalks and revise planting strips to include on- street parallel parking. Alternate 3 Remove problem trees, repair sidewalks and revise planting strips to include on- street angled parking. Neighborhood Meetings To date, a series of five (5) neighborhood involvement meetings were held at the Pasco Senior Center. Prior to each meeting notices were mailed to affected property owners inviting them to attend. Initially all property owners within the larger project area received meeting notices but as the project focused more narrowly upon project sub -area 1, meeting notice mailings were sent only to sub -area 1 property owners. Neighborhood Meeting #1 (2/2013) During the first meeting, discussions addressed a broad scope of issues and concerns; not all issues discussed pertained to the objectives of the Plan. The input received was useful to develop a better understanding of the project area as the residents perceive it and how they would like to see it in the future. Neighborhood Meeting #z (4/2013) For the second meeting staff had prepared a set of three possible project alternatives aimed at fixing damaged sidewalks and alleviating congested on- street parking. At the second meeting residents initially indicated their overall preference for Alternate #t which replaces both broken sidewalks and trees associated with the damage; this alternate does not address parking related problems. 11 Neighborhood Meeting #3 (6/2013) The outcome of the third meeting was similar to that of the second meeting in that people preferred Alternate #1. At the third meeting the issue of aging utility systems was discussed. The study area was originally constructed over eighty (8o) years ago; municipal utilities are on a 75 -year replacement schedule. Residents encouraged the City to possibly consolidate sidewalk and municipal utility replacement projects to eliminate or reduce multiple disturbances in the neighborhood. Neighborhood Meeting #4 (12/2013) The fourth meeting was the first time project construction cost estimates were provided to the affected property owners. The cost estimates were provided for tree removal and replacement, stump removal, sidewalk removal and replacement and for the installation of new landscape irrigation lines. During the fourth meeting one or more property owners requested the option for a tree installation waiver whereby a property owner could choose not to have a new tree planted in front of their home. At the time of the meeting many stakeholders were under the impression that property owners would be bearing the full cost of the project; because of this they expressed a want to be responsible only for costs associated with construction adjacent to each parcel. In other words, property owners did not like the idea of paying an average cost rate based solely on their parcel's linear length of road frontage. Additionally, property owners desired that the replacement trees be similarly large trees. Neighborhood Meeting #5 (3/2014) During the fifth meeting staff presented the few attendees with a diagram showing the proposed finished streetscape layout including underground irrigation lines, trees and sidewalks. Staff also presented a list of proposed tree species to be used as new plantings. The tree species list was generated based on some research into individual species growth - form and behavior and the list was also based upon a site visit to Job's Nursery. The final species chosen are well stocked at the nursery and are of similar caliper and height to ensure some degree of uniformity at the time of planting. All fruit bearing trees (including trees with ornamental fruit) were excluded from consideration to avoid a variety of nuisances associated with falling and rotting fruit. Also during the fifth meeting staff informed the attendees of the city's intent to secure project funding entirely through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sources and that it is possible that property owners may not be assessed for the expenses. 7 Construction Components Trees Over the past 75 — too years, the trees originally planted in the right -of -way as part of the streetscape design have grown substantially. Mostly Silver Maples, the trees have reached over fifty feet in height. These trees have reached their maturity and have begun failing in terms of structure. Woody debris as large as co- dominant stems and even entire trees have begun to fall during high -wind events. This condition is hazardous to people and property; cars can be damaged and people can be hurt by the falling woody debris. Although neighborhood residents expressed their enjoyment of the trees, retention of the mature trees may be a detriment to the improvement project at hand. A majority of the trees must be removed due to their interference with sidewalk replacement. For those trees which are not an immediate threat to sidewalks, growth form is the greater concern. Due to the propensity for the larger trees to fail and drop debris staff proposes to replace them with more suitable tree species. Some of the preferred tree species suitable for plantings along roadways in the project area and which are locally available in sufficient quantity include but are not limited to the following: 1) Greenspire Littleleaf Linden (Tilia cordata) z) Armstrong Maple (Acer freemanii) 3) Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulip era) 4) Crimson Sentry Maple (Acer platanodes) 5) Quaking Aspen (Pop_u.Ius tremuloides) 6) Corinthian Linden (Tdia cordata) 7) Summer Sprite Linden (Tili_a cordata_`Ha_Ikar') 8) Variegated Boxelder (Acer negundo_v_ar._v_ariegatum) Using a well distributed combination of the species listed above is intended to create a staggered tree canopy structure which will appear fuller at all heights. Combining low, medium and tall trees will provide a tree canopy better able to resist wind from ground -level upwards. This is called a triple canopy. Another advantage of the triple canopy is that it can create more privacy near the ground level. A comprehensive list of the City's preferred street trees is included in the appendix of this Plan. 3 Parking The neighborhood meeting component of the scoping process revealed the property owner's general priority level for additional parking. From the meetings, staff's impression is that the property owners (in attendance) do not value additional parking enough to justify assessing the costs of modifying the right -of -way to provide it. Revisions to the existing parallel on- street parking configuration are not proposed. Property owners saw that having an on- street parking space in front of their home does not guarantee that the parking space would remain available to them. Due to the perceived high number of vehicles per household, the property owners felt that additional on- street parking would quickly fill up with vehicles, many non - operational or infrequently used. Irrigation Installation of landscaping irrigation lines is a project component which has been presented to property owners during the neighborhood meeting phase. The proposal for new landscape irrigation includes installation of 1 -inch PVC lines leading from the front property line of each home to the roadside landscape strip and then extending in either direction to cover the full width of the parcels' landscape strip. As part of this project irrigation lines are not proposed to be connected to the private municipal water line(s) belonging to each parcel. For reference, an example of the proposed irrigation layout designed for a single block of Park Street is included in the appendices of this Plan ( #z). Priority Areas The study area is divided into three sub -areas grouped along east -west oriented roadways using alleys as convenient dividing lines. This grouping coincides well with the degree of sidewalk damage observed; thus allowing priority to be assigned to each based on the amount of work required to make repairs. Each sub -area is listed below in order of damage severity with the first (Park Street/sub -area 1) having the highest degree of sidewalk damage and the most large street trees. Planning Department and Engineering Department staff worked together to develop a certain threshold for assessing sidewalk replacement and deciding when it is appropriate to retain undamaged existing sidewalk. The threshold used is % of a city block. In other words, sections of sidewalk may be retained when it is contiguously undamaged for one half of one block or more. There is no economy in retaining less than a'' /: block, meaning it may increase costs to attempt to retain portions of undamaged sidewalk less than a % block in length. 7 Park Street (Sub -Area t) The Park Street project sub -area hereinafter referred to as "sub -area t ", ranks first on the Are- Prior"anking Map. This sub -area contains that portion of Park Street bound by Stn Avenue to the east and by loth Avenue to the west. Sub -area t contains the highest number of large /mature street trees in the study area and consequently also has the highest degree of sidewalk damage. Sub -area 1 contains approximately 3,800 linear feet of private property frontage; zoo linear feet of which belong to the Lourde's Hospital parking lot which needs no work to correct sidewalk damage. For discussion purposes Sub -area 9 contains 3,560 linear feet of (residential) frontage applicable to improvements of this Plan. Field studies revealed twenty five (25) mature and failing street trees on Park Street, all of which are proposed to be replaced. These trees are primarily Silver Maples ranging in size from 3 -5 feet in diameter and approximately 4o -6o feet in height. The trees have passed their prime in terms of growth rate and overall appearance. The trees are in a state of decline, dropping significantly sized woody debris such as co- dominant stems. These large fall -outs damage property below the tree and permanently alter the tree's balance. With every passing year the likelihood increases that the entire tree will fall during one of our region's high -wind events. Based on the A block survey standard mentioned above, all sidewalks fronting Park Street (approx. 2,800 LF) must be replaced. In sub -area 1 staff found no need to replace sidewalks fronting the numerically named roadways (stn stn 8th and loth Avenues). These north -south oriented roadways generally lack landscaping, including trees and as a result the sidewalks are largely undamaged. Regardless, these roadways (stn 7th 8th and loth Avenues) are proposed to receive new street tree plantings. Margaret Street (Sub -Area z) The Margaret Street project sub -area hereinafter referred to as "sub -area z ", ranks second on the Area Priority _Ranking _Map. Sub -area z contains far fewer large mature trees and far less sidewalk damage than Park Street. Sub -area z is nearly identical in size to the Park Street sub -area 1 but may require significantly fewer tree removals and possibly less sidewalk replacement. Generally, the same project components apply to sub -area z but to a lesser degree. Sylvester & Nixon Streets (Sub -Area 3) Properties fronting Sylvester Street have been grouped with properties fronting Nixon Street. This sub -area hereinafter referred to as "sub -area 3 ", ranks third on the Area._ Priority Ranking-Map. Sub -are 3 is the largest of the three sub -areas and contains the highest 10 number of individual parcels. Despite its large size sub -area 3 contains the lowest occurrence of damaged sidewalks in need of repair. For this reason it is assigned the lowest priority for construction activity needs. Sub -area 3 contains Sylvester Park which is an approximately z -acre city park containing three tennis courts, two full basketball courts and a child's playground. Minimal sidewalk damage exists around the perimeter of the Park. Henry Street Originally the project area of this Plan included properties fronting Henry Street, between 5th and loth Avenues. Staff surveys of this project sub -area revealed minimal to no sidewalk damage along Henry Street. Due to the lack of remarkable damage to the Henry Street sidewalks or other right -of -way infrastructure, the Henry Street sub -area has been excluded from further proposed project construction activites and removed altogether from the Area PriorJmy Rankin Map. Path Forward To date, a comprehensive planning analysis of construction needs has only been completed for a portion of sub -area t (Park Street). Following the completion of construction activities for the first phase of sub -area 1, planning staff will repeat the planning and scoping processes for the remaining project area. The intent behind waiting until sub -area 1 construction is complete before proceeding to sub -areas z & 3 is to provide staff with an opportunity to modify certain strategies and concepts by adapting to the outcomes and lessons learned from the first phase of construction. This delayed adaptive approach will provide property owners with a physical example of the proposed project activities. Concerned property owners will be able to visit Park Street to observe the final product. Maintenance Responsibility Currently, property owners within the project area maintain the roadside landscaping areas in front of their homes, as has been the case since the creation of the neighborhood. The city intends to continue with the assignment of right -of -way landscape maintenance responsibility to the adjacent property owners. Following the completion of right -of -way construction activities, property owners are to continue maintaining their portion of the adjoining right -of -way improvements. The term 11 maintenance means the proper upkeep of all infrastructure and living vegetation, and in this case applies to that area between the front property line and street curb, bound by parallel lines projecting forward from the side property lines of each parcel. Title 12, Streets and S_id_ewalks, of the Pasco Municipal Code duly assigns right -of -way maintenance responsibility (PMC Chapter 12.12, Trees & Shrubs). PMC Chapter 12.12 regulates activities within city right - of -way landscape areas. Once the proposed street trees have been installed it will be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner to care for the tree. Tree care includes regular watering and periodic fertilizing. Tree watering is required regardless of whether or not the property owner has decided to connect to the newly installed irrigation system. It should be noted that prior to pruning or removing any city tree a permit must be approved by the Administrative & Community Services Department. Pasco Municipal Code 12.12 provides penalties for activities causing harm or loss of street trees. Funding Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding It is the intent of the Community & Economic Development Department to fund project costs by securing CDBG funds and in the future to possibly leverage funding from the Sidewalk Improvement Program (CIP project). Staff will file a CDBG application in May (2014) with the hopes of receiving grant funding for the 2015 project year. CDBG entitlement grants may be used for infrastructure projects which provide a suitable living environment (i.e. residential neighborhoods) in areas which primarily benefit low to moderate income households. This Plan's project area is contained within a US Census Block which qualifies as low to moderate income. Options Based on community input received during neighborhood meetings and testimony received at the public hearing this Plan provides some degree of flexibility with respect to tree removals and new tree plantings. The two options provided are described below. 12 Option t - Tree Removals The intent of Option 1 is to allow, when feasible, property owners to retain their existing healthy, non - invasively rooted trees lying within the right -of -way landscaping strips. The City arborist or contractor must first determine which trees are suitable to be retained. Following the identification of individual trees having potential to coexist with the proposed project, property owners shall be contacted and provided the opportunity to indicate which trees they prefer to keep. Each owner's preference will be noted and transmitted to the applicable project construction manager. Option z — New Trees The intent of Option z is to provide property owners the opportunity to decline installation of new street trees associated with their property. Prior to installing new tree plantings, all property owners within each project area/sub -area will be contacted and provided the opportunity to indicate whether or not they want new trees installed adjacent to their parcel. Each owner's preference will be noted and transmitted to the applicable project construction manager.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 08/25: Discussion 09/02: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with SWCA, Inc., authorizing professional cultural resources assessment services with respect to the 30" Main (NW Area) sewer project in the amount of $23,929, and further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement. III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The recently adopted City of Pasco Comprehensive Sewer Plan identifies a near term capital improvement project to support the extension of sewer service to the northwest area of the City. B) The proposed 30" diameter sewer trunk line servicing the northwest area extends approximately 10,800 feet from the Broadmoor Boulevard/Bums Road intersection to the existing sewer manhole located in Court Street on the northwest side of the I -182 bridge. C) City Engineering staff will design the sewer trunk line in- house. D) Outside consultants will be retained to gather specialty data to facilitate the in -house design process. E) Sewer Rates will provide funding for the pre - design data gathering and in -house design efforts. F) A Revenue Bond will provide funding for the construction phase. G) City Engineering staff will submit grant and low interest loan applications in an effort to obtain supplemental funding for the construction phase. V. DISCUSSION: A) The identification of hundreds of archaeological sites along the Columbia River and Columbia Plateau attest to ancient human occupation of this area. B) Most grant funding agencies (including the Department of Ecology) require the cultural resources review process be complete before ground- disturbing activities commence. C) In July of 2014, Staff issued a Request for Proposal for the 30" Main (NW Area) Cultural Resources Project. D) On July 18, 2014, City received one proposal from one consultant. During July 2014, staff reviewed the proposal and deemed the consultant to be qualified to complete the design of this project by the rating panel. Contract negotiations were conducted during August 2014. E) Accordingly, staff proposes to contract with an outside cultural resources assessment professional to provide the following: • Archaeological, historical, and cultural resources investigation /assessment work of the proposed sewer main corridor. 4(b) A cultural resources assessment report to communicate the objectives, methods, research efforts, and field findings of the investigation.

III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) In 2013, similar to other years, we applied for available grants to help us address stormwater mitigation measures within the City in order to remain compliant with Ecology's NPDES Permit requirements. B) Typically we receive $50,000 to $100,000 annually. The funds have been helpful in funding some of the Permit's project and public education and outreach requirements. We also utilized previous grants to purchase equipment, such as street sweepers, to help reduce stormwater pollution. C) Late 2013, the City was awarded $170,000 in Dept. of Ecology grant monies to perform a retrofit design to infiltrate approximately 25% of the runoff from the stormwater basin that discharges to the Columbia River via the pipe located near the Pasco Marina. D) January 2014, the City began in -house development of engineering plans for this project considering the use of Sylvester and Volunteer Parks for infiltration facilities, with an ultimate goal of eliminating all our surface water discharges to the Columbia River. V. DISCUSSION: A) The design and construction of the proposed infiltration facilities is best accomplished with a geotechnical investigation/report to document subsurface conditions and determine the final infiltration rates of the underground stormwater facilities. B) All geotechnical reports that contain engineering analyses and/or provide specific design recommendations must be signed and stamped by a licensed professional engineer with expertise in geotechnical engineering. C) In July of 2014, Staff issued a Request for Proposal for the Pasco Boat Basin Stormwater RetroFit Project. On July 18, 2014, City received four proposals from qualified consultants.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 08/25: Discussion 09/02: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with RH2 Engineering, Inc., authorizing professional engineering services with respect to the East Side Booster Pump Station Upgrade project in the amount of $107,538, and further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement. III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The City of Pasco Comprehensive Water System Plan identifies a near tern capital improvement project to upgrade the pump capacity and provide on -site emergency power at the existing East Side Booster Pump Station. B) Constructed in 1981, the East Side Booster Pump Station, located on Oregon Avenue, draws water from Pressure Zone 1 and releases to Pressure Zone 2, raising the pressure from the low 40s psi to the high 70s psi. The pump station houses four electric motor driven pumps and one diesel motor driven backup pump. The electric pumps operate individually, and in combination, with a maximum pumping capacity of approximately 3,000 gpm. C) The Comp Plan calls for the addition of at least one pump. This recommendation is couched with the caveat that planning for the East Side booster pumping station should include a detailed engineering study to determine the best updates to match future demand conditions. The final Comp Plan recommendation calls for the addition of full emergency backup power to the pump station to ensure system reliability. D) Water Rates will provide funding for both the design and construction phases. V. DISCUSSION: A) The City's intent is to have an engineering consultant initiate and complete all aspects of the proposed booster station upgrade study /design project. B) In July of 2014, Staff issued a Request for Proposal for the East Side Booster Station Upgrade analysis and design phases. C) On July 18, 2014, City received one proposal from one consultant. During July 2014, Staff reviewed the proposal and deemed the consultant to be qualified to complete the design of this project by the rating panel. Contract negotiations were conducted during August 2014. D) Staff proposes to contract with RH2 Engineering, Inc., to provide the following: o An engineering analysis of the pump station to determine the future needs of the area served by the East Side Booster Pump Station, containing, water model system modeling, engineering analyses /calculations, and conclusions and recommendations for the design and construction of the pump station improvements. 4(f) PS &E for the design, construction, and installation of the pump station upgrades identified by the engineering analysis.
