6e Alaskan Way memo
COMMISSION AGENDA MEMORANDUM Item No. 6e ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting February 27, 2018 DATE: February 20, 2018 TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director FROM: Mike McLaughlin, Director, Cruise Operations Fred Chou, Program Leader, Seaport Project Management SUBJECT: Alaskan Way Street Improvement Additional Authorization (Short Form) Amount of this request: $375,000 Total estimated project cost: $1,657,000 ACTION REQUESTED Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to increase the Alaskan Way Street Improvement project funding by $375,000, for a total estimated project cost of $1,657,000. SUMMARY The Alaskan Way Street Improvement Project work east of the Bell Street Cruise Terminal will help reduce traffic congestions and preserve cruise and other terminal operations which have brought significant economic benefits to the Port and the region, supporting Port's Century Agenda goals. The construction began October 2017 and is on track for completion in time to welcome the 2018 cruise season. Staff projects additional funds will be necessary to complete the construction. Subsequent to the August 2016 Commission construction authorization, Seattle Department of Transportation added an additional 14 concrete pavement panels to the scope of the project. Once construction commenced poor roadbed soil conditions were discovered upon removal of roadway panels and resulted in additional excavation and import materials. For safety reasons after construction began the BNSF Railway imposed additional and more stringent construction flagging requirements than previously agreed. This resulted in significant work resequencing and implementation challenges, which were further compounded by limited flagger availability. The additional $375,000 will be funded via the tax levy. There are no attachments to this memo. Template revised September 22, 2016.
