Gateway - Finalization of Design and Engineering:
Manager Madsen indicated that time is of the essence on the Gatewayproject, which
must be advertised for bid in August, 2006. He noted that grant funding could be lost
if the project isn't put out to bid by the deadline, and the City is working with Clallam
Transit and the FTA to get the project underway and completed. To that end, he
advised the Council of the need to take the concept drawings to fmalization. Manager
Madsen summarized the engineer's estimates in view of increased costs, asking the
Council to approve the scope of the project for fmalization of the design drawings.
Mayor Rogers stressed the importance of adhering to the project schedule, and
Manager Madsen reported that the architectural fIrm of Lindberg & Smith had been
brought back into the project to gamer local influence in the project. The finalization
of the design and engineering must also be approved by the Transit Board at its
meeting this coming week.
Deputy Mayor Williams moved to approve the scope of work for finalizing design
drawings for the International Gateway Project and to authorize the City
Manager to execute documents necessary for the work to proceed.
Councilmember Braun seconded the motion.
Discussion followed about the design concept and a reduction in scope while
maintaining the core elements. It was noted that the footprint of the structure will
remain the same; however, the roof will be larger than the original design. Mayor
Rogers lauded Manager Madsen for his leadership on the project, and brief discussion
was held on whether the City has control of the property, something that Attorney
Bloor indicated is an ongoing process. Councilmembers expressed opinions on the
disposition of the project, after which a vote was taken on the motion, which carried
5 - 1, with Councilmember Wharton voting in opposition.
