3-99
The Council expressed concern that the Engineers' (Roth Hill) "should cost"
estimate for the Medina Park Pond, Stream and Path Improvements, Contract 3-
99, was substantially lower than the low bid.
The Council asked, because of the critical project completion date, whether any
sub -contractors were involved. City Engineer Hummel said that AGI
Technologies, the selected bidder, would not use sub -contractors. He indicated
that AGI would meet the schedule and was prepared to start work October 11th
and complete major items by October 30th.

permit. Council expressed concern about any fines by Fisheries, if the contractor
did not meet the schedule (staff was requested to seek some "schedule slack"
from Fisheries).
Discussion focused upon the scope of the project and costs involved. City
Engineer Hummel explained the tight time schedule mandated by the
Department of Fisheries for completion of work by the end of October. The
consensus was to communicate concerns to Larry Fisher, Fisheries Department,
relative to timetable.

and approved unanimously, Medina Park Pond, Stream and Path Improvements,
Contract 3-99, was awarded to AGI Technologies of Bellevue, WA, in the
amount of $224,524.50, plus sales tax of $19,309, for a total of $243,833.50.
It was decided that a meeting would be scheduled with Larry Fisher, for
discussion of conceptual Medina Stream Project; specifically box culvert bridge
over Medina Stream on NE 24th Street. It was also decided that fish barrier
removal grants be explored.
Councilmember Demitriades reported on the Lake Washington /Cedar River
Watershed Forum Meeting of September 30, 1999. He stated that substantial
effort will be required by city staff, consultants, Planning Commission, legal
counsel and the City Council to prepare for 2000 evaluation of National Marine
Fisheries Service/King County negotiations of Endangered Species Act (ESA)
impact ("4D" rule) on Comprehensive Plan, Shoreline Management, SEPA and
