Adoption of a Resolution for the Transportation Benefit District Material Change Policy
a. Resolution No. 1600: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redmond, Washington, Adopting a Transportation Benefit District Material Change Policy
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The Transportation Benefit District (TBD) is a funding entity for transportation improvements that was established in 2023 by the City under ordinance 3120, adopted into the Redmond Municipal code chapter 3.93, as provided by state code RCW 36.73. Per state code, a material change policy is required to address major changes to cost, scope, or schedule that affect capital project delivery.
To fulfill TBD obligations, Public Works is requesting that the Council adopt a material change policy for instances where project cost or scope changes exceed twenty percent (20%). Once adopted, the policy will be incorporated into the Finance Department's fiscal policies.
