The Committee of the Whole for Planning and Public Works met on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 4:30 PM. All council members were present. The committee reviewed seven agenda items, including action items on infrastructure contracts and a franchise agreement, a land use map amendment, noise code updates, and the delivery method for a teen community center. Several items were moved to the consent agenda for the May 19 City Council meeting, and direction was given on the land use amendment.
Okay. Okay. We're getting an echo. Anyone have their volume up? Okay. Gone now. Good afternoon. This is the Tuesday, May 5th, 2026, Committee of the Whole for Planning and Public Works. All council members are in attendance, so we will just go ahead and dive in. First up is the award of construction contract and approved consultant services agreement supplemental with David Evans and Associates for Pavement Management. And I will kick it over to Brandon Bueller, Acting Deputy Director. Good afternoon, Council members. Brandon Bueller, Public Works. Again, we're requesting to award the construction contract for the pavement management 154th Avenue Northeast Redmond Way to 85th project. Public Works is also requesting approval of the consultant services agreement with David Evans and Associates in the amount of $36,645. This supplement is for construction engineering support services for the project and an increases the maximum amount payable to $337,137. This packet is a little unique in that the bid opening uh for this project is scheduled for $57. And so you will not see lowest bid amounts in your packet this evening. We are uh looking for um council to bring this to the 519 consent agenda, at which time we will have a lowest bidder, assuming that it comes in within budget. Uh if that is not the case, then we may need to explore an alternate route. Um happy to take questions. I have Eric Dawson here with me, Capital Construction Division Supervisor to help with this um maybe atypical packet. Thank you. Any questions for this unique item in front of us? Unique but not so unique tonight. Council Vice President Nueva Camina. Thank you. Welcome. Um just checking in to see then if uh if that wasn't if it didn't come in within budget, then we would be notified by email ahead of um the May 19th meeting, correct? Yes, that's correct. Thank you, Mr. Bueller. Any um objection to putting this on consent as we will see that in the packet. Councilmember Sony. Uh just a quick question on that for the small businesses. I know uh there will be a notification given to all the small businesses, but is there any assess impact in dumps of the businesses uh uh you know during this phase because it's closed at two late min B. That's the reason. You're asking uh have we done outreach to the to the local businesses on the paving route? Yeah, not just the outreach, but has was it any study or anything done that is this going to have an impact? It's like yes, we are notifying, but does do you think this is just this is an overlay. The the impact will be once construction's done, um the impact will be a benefit to everybody. The road will be much nicer to drive on. Any questions or let's do thumbs for placing this on consent. Fantastic. We will see this on consent on the 19th. Moving on to item two, thank you all. Approval of final contract with road construction northwest and acceptance of construction for the 157th 152nd street approvement improvement project. Oh, you were tongue-tied earlier now, it's my turn. Sorry, it's contagious. Brandon Bueller again, public works is requesting council to approve the final contract and accept construction for 152nd Street Improvement, project number 1530.
