2 CHAIN LAKE ROAD SHARED PATH EXTENSION The City of Monroe received a federal grant through Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to design and purchase additional right-of-way for extending the shared sidewalk/path north along Chain Lake Road and end at Brown Road. The sidewalk would match to the existing sidewalk in the vicinity of Rainier View Road. Complete funding for construction will need to be secured before the city programs the project's final phase. Estimated Design Cost: $803,250 (design & right-of-way acquisition) $219,723 Street CIP Fund $583,527 FHWA Grant Estimated Construction Cost: $2,800,000* $1,296,975 Street CIP Fund $1,515,692 FHWA Grant *Cost to construct will likely be lower based on current private development activity which will reduce the work necessary for this project. The City solicited for professional design services in November. Several firms responded to solicitation, of which the review panel short-listed three for interviews. Ultimately, the contract award offer was extended to WHPacific, Inc. The City will spend the month of December to negotiate the scope and fee for this contract, after which the Local Agency Consultant Agreement (LACA) will be presented to Council for authorization.

8 191 ST AVENUE SE EXTENSION The concept of this project originated from concerns regarding increased traffic on Chain Lake Road and the need for a second route for neighborhoods that have Rainier View Road as their only access to Chain Lake Road. In January and February of 2017 there were a series of council meetings to discuss the possibility of extending 191 st Avenue SE south through the US2 Bypass corridor, including four possible alignments that connected at various locations along Chain Lake Road or to Galaxy Way. An Open House was conducted in January 2017 to receive public input on the project. The direction given to staff was to pursue a road alignment that best followed the original 191 st Ave SE roadbed, but include a walking path as part of the roadside elements. Estimated Project Cost: $2,500,000 Streets CIP Construction Target: Unknown WSDOT has given positive response to this project, meaning that the State would be willing to lease their property to the City once they have reviewed and agree to the proposed construction plans. Engineering staff are working with WSDOT to fast-track their lease process ahead of preparing plans and specifications. We anticipate receiving a final draft of the lease agreement some time in December.

9 BLUEBERRY LANE / KELSEY STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS This intersection has long been known as being problematic and congested at times. Improving the intersection is complicated due to the immediate proximity of Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad and US2. The flow of traffic is sensitive to the tracks being clear and the US2 signal phasing. In December 2016 and January 2017 a series of council meetings were held to discuss potential design options. Additionally, an Open House was conducted in January 2017 to receive public input on design options. Staff are exploring a design that would create a second, northbound lane along Kelsey Street. This lane would begin at North Street and provide a turn pocket for vehicles wanting to turn onto Blueberry Lane, and also additional queuing capacity for left turns at US2. Estimated Project Cost: $450,000 Street CIP Construction Target: Unknown Engineering staff applied for a grant through the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) that would assist in funding the design and construction phases of this project. Unfortunately, this project was not selected for award. Staff are evaluating options, including alternate funding sources. Potential Timeline 2018 Design Phase 2019 Construction Phase 9 Page 9 of 16

10 TJERNE PLACE SE STREET IMPROVEMENTS Tjerne Place SE (a.k.a. Oaks Street) is located between Woods Creek Road and Old Owen Road, behind the Monroe Plaza where Albertson s used to be. This private road sees increasing traffic as drivers look to other routes to avoid traffic on US2. The City is interested in converting the road to public right-of-way and making improvements to become similar to other segments of Tjerne Place SE. Additionally, a signalized intersection would be proposed where Tjerne Place SE connects to Old Owen Road. Estimated Project Cost: $6,950,000 Street CIP Fund Construction Target: Unknown Engineering staff applied for a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant that would contribute to funding design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of this project. Unfortunately, this project was not selected for award. Staff are evaluating options, including alternate funding sources.

11 2017 STREET PRESERVATION PROGRAM The City has established a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) to help maintain existing streets. Maintenance efforts include practices such as overlaying with new asphalt, adding new aggregate to the road surface (chip sealing), replacing lost binder oils on the surface (fog seal), and filling in cracks with elastomeric material (crack sealing). The City has a program that determines best use of TBD funds to maximize maintenance efforts toward our citywide street system. Additionally, the asphalt overlays will be combined with Snohomish County s annual overlay program for efficiency and competitive pricing opportunities. Other treatments may be coordinated with Snohomish County, other local agencies, or pursued as a capital project using contractor bids to perform the work. For overlays, existing sidewalk ramps adjacent to the project area will be reviewed and reconstructed as necessary to be compliant with current ADA standards. All treatments are anticipated to occur during the dry summer months. The City will contract with Snohomish County forces through our Inter Local Agreement (ILA). The County will perform the fog sealing, chip sealing, and asphalt overlay work in August. All asphalt overlay work has been completed. Small items remain to be completed, including some pavement markings, signage and incidental cleanup work. The remaining work is anticipated to be ongoing throughout December and into January as weather conditions allow.

15 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT DECEMBER 2017 UPDATE OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE The maintenance work that City staff completes on a regular basis includes a diverse variety of programmatic activities. Examples include water main valve and hydrant operations, storm drain cleaning and inspection, right of way vegetation management, and asphalt surface repairs. During these activities O&M staff often note smaller scale capital improvement projects such as replacing a section of obsolescent water main, updating street lighting, refurbishing a failed drainage infiltration system, or improving ADA access ramps at an intersection. These projects are minor enough in scope and budget to make it more cost effective to complete the work with in-house labor due to the lower labor rates and minimal administrative overhead as compared with the more traditional design, bid, build process. : Listed below is an update for the small project and maintenance schedule for Water System Valve Turning and System Flushing Fall/Winter 2017/2018 Annual system maintenance includes turning every valve and operating every hydrant in the water system. This activity is integral to maintain water quality by removing accumulated sediment from the system. Work is 50% complete as of 11/1/17. Sewer Collections System Dead End Main Cleaning Fall/Winter 2017/2018 Dead end sewer mains pose the greatest risk of clogging due to the often lower flow volumes as compared to non-dead end mains. In order to mitigate this risk high pressure water jetting and vacuum clearing of debris is performed biannually. Public Works Shop Facility Expected completion in 2018 The Design Builder (ET Environmental) has completed 75% foundation plan sets and City staff have done a full review. The Design Builders submittal to the City for permitting of the foundation is expected in the first week of December. Construction is expected to start in April of 2018 with completion by December, Page 15 of 16
