Approval of a Supplemental Agreement to the Contract with HDR, Inc. in the Amount of $242,906 for the Evans Creek Relocation Project
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
This supplement for the Evans Creek Relocation project, Project No. 0995-406-02 is needed to obtain permits, assist with property rights acquisition and relocation, and complete final design. It increases the maximum amount payable to $2,923,587.
This supplement is for additional work over and above what was anticipated for environmental permit preparation and property acquisition. Recently, FEMA indicated a change in the Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) process for the project that requires additional work and extends the project timeline. Additional services are also required for negotiations for property acquisition due to changes in internal staffing capacity in Real Property Services.
Evans Creek is a Class I stream situated in a highly developed area in southeast Redmond. It has a narrow riparian buffer, is channelized, sits adjacent to industrial properties, and may be influenced by stormwater runoff. This project will relocate about 3,000 ft of creek into open space to the north and connect to new channel enhancements downstream completed by the Washington State Department of Transportation in 2013. Council authorized property rights acquisition on February 5, 2013, when the Consultant Agreement for preliminary design was approved.

Time Constraints:
The project needs to continue through the permit and property rights acquisition stage in order to meet the goal of construction over the summers of 2025-2026. Delays could cause increase in project costs, property owner changes, and other changes that could impact the project scope, schedule, and/or cost. The easement acquired in 2019 expires 3 years following the date when the city secures all permits for the project.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Progress on the project would stop. Previously obtained property rights may be lost.
