BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. The University of Idaho (UI) is developing a Center for Organic Studies at property near Sandpoint, Idaho previously gifted to the Regents for such use. The property does not have adequate electric service. To extend electric service, the local utility, Northern Lights, Inc, must place new service delivery equipment on Regents property. The local utility requires an easement for placement of the service requested by University staff for the operation of the Center.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. On November 6, 2012, Kirkland voters approved Proposition 2: City Parks Maintenance, Restoration and Enhancement Levy. The levy is projected to raise $2.35 million annually to fund preservation, maintenance and enhancement of Xxxxxxxx'x parks and natural areas. The levy increases the level of maintenance of Xxxxxxxx’x parks, provides lifeguards at Houghton, Waverly and Xxxxxxx beaches, continues the restoration of Xxxxxxxx’x forests and natural areas (Green Xxxxxxxx Partnership), provides for the maintenance of the Cross Xxxxxxxx Corridor and includes funding for the ongoing maintenance of Xxxxx X. Xxxxx Park (also called “O.O. Xxxxx Xxxx”). On March 19, 2013, the City Council approved the Transfer Amendment of the Xxxxx X. Xxxxx Park Management and Maintenance Agreement between the City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation and Xxxx Xxxx Park and Recreation District (“FHPRD”) to the City of Xxxxxxxx (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provided a short-term transfer of the agreement that existed between FHPRD and Seattle Parks to the City of Xxxxxxxx until an Interlocal Agreement for the management of Xxxxx X. Xxxxx Park is reviewed and approved by both Seattle City Council and Xxxxxxxx City Council. The Interlocal Agreement Between Seattle Parks and the City of Xxxxxxxx for operation and maintenance for O.O. Xxxxx Xxxx authorizes the City to operate, access, manage, maintain, use and occupy the park and outlines standards for maintaining the park.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. Idaho State University (ISU) seeks approval from the Board to increase the maximum total cost of construction of the Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center to $11,700,000. Due to rapidly inflating labor and building material costs, the project bids came in significantly higher than anticipated at $11,700,000, which is $2,500,000 more than approved by the Board in August 2020. ISU and the ISU Foundation have developed a fundraising strategy to cover the project cost escalation, so that the remaining funds will be raised during construction of the project. The ISU Foundation has agreed to serve as a guarantor of the contributions up to $2,500,000. ISU previously agreed to commit $ 2,000,000 of institutional reserves to the project to match a generous donor commitment of $2,000,000. Philanthropic Support $ 9,700,000 Total $ 11,700,000 As ISU continues to focus aggressively on enrollment growth, fundraising, branding and image building, the new Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center will provide a state-of-the-art facility for the enhancement of those functions. The Center will enrich student recruitment and outreach efforts to business and industry. In addition, approval of this project will fulfill a commitment made by ISU over a number of years to ISU donors who have provided the majority of the funding for the project. Given significant increases in the cost of construction generally, and building materials in particular, Idaho State University finds itself in a challenging situation. Delays in the Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center project will likely only inflate costs to a greater degree, and it is imperative that ISU respond quickly to complete the project before the costs increase again above the current $369/square foot, including sitework, which the Division of Public Works has indicated is reasonable in the current building environment. Since the ISU Foundation is willing to serve as the guarantor to keep the cost locked in at the current increase, ISU has established a path forward without any greater investment of University reserves or the need for financing. Staff recommends approval. I move to approve the request by Idaho State University to proceed with construction of the Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center for a total cost not to exceed $ 11,700,000.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. This authorization request seeks to allow the University of Idaho (UI) to enter into an Air Service Agreement with Alaska Airlines, Inc. (Alaska) to provide regularly scheduled direct air service between Boise Airport (BOI) and Pullman-Moscow Airport (PUW). UI seeks to establish regular, scheduled air travel from southern Idaho to north central Idaho to expedite travel to and from our state capital for students, families, employees, and business partners. To incentivize a new destination and flight schedule from BOI to PUW, UI would agree to guarantee revenue to Alaska Airlines for a maximum of $500,000 per year for three years (maximum of $1.5 million) if revenue from scheduled flights does not exceed the minimal profitability level agreed to by both parties.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. On June 15, 2020 the City Council directed staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for engineering design and construction administration services associated with the 2021 Pavement Management Program (PMP) Street and Utility Improvement project. The scope or work contained within the RFP is provided in Attachment A. The RFP was issued to seven consulting firms. All seven firms submitted a proposal response on July 14, 2020. Proposals were evaluated by the Public Works Director, Assistant City Engineer and City Administrator based on five criteria: project understanding and approach; team qualifications; experience; delivery schedule, and cost. The results of the proposal evaluation is provided in Attachment B. Based on a review of the proposals, staff recommends approving a professional services agreement to Xxxxxx & Xxxx for the 2021 PMP project. The Xxxxxx & Xxxx proposal provided a clear and organized approach, a team with experience in similar street and utility improvement projects, a detailed project delivery schedule, and sufficient hours to complete a quality design and properly administer the construction process. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed professional services agreement with Xxxxxx & Xxxx as provided in Attachment C. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. The City Council recently reviewed the proposed Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Control Signals and EVP System at the work session on November 16, 2020. The agreement defines ownership, maintenance, and on-going cost participation for installation of the proposed new traffic signal on Lexington Avenue at Target Road as part of the Lexington Avenue Improvement project. The new traffic signal would provide controlled access to the proposed third phase of the Lexington Station Development site. A copy of the proposed signal agreement is provided in Attachment A. The 2013 Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement for the Lexington Station commercial site includes access and cost participation requirements related to the proposed Target Road traffic signal. The master PUD agreement states that full development of the Lexington Station commercial property will include a new access driveway aligned with Target Road to replace the current access point along Lexington Avenue. The new access is required to include the proposed traffic signal at Target Road based on a completed traffic study. The master PUD agreement further requires the developer of the Lexington Station site to pay for or accept an assessment against the project property for the cost of the access improvements, including the traffic signal. The developer for Lexington Station Phase 3 is currently working with the property owners of the Arby’s site and the Big O Tires site to determine if they wish to gain access to the future Target Road signalized intersection through a shared access agreement and participate in the project costs. The three other traffic signals along Lexington Avenue at County Road E, Grey Fox Road and Red Fox Road would continue to be governed by the existing signal agreements approved in 1990. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Control Signals and EVP System document. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
