Waste Management Contract Amendment - Update: PWD Dorsey advised
Committee members of an upcoming Amendment to the 2016 Waste Management of
Washington, Inc. Contract. The Amendment will update Exhibit A (List of City Facilities)
of the Contract to reflect the ‘no-fee’ addition of street cans at Bay Street (garbage &
recycling) and an additional 30-yard roll off box near the new decant facility. Clerk

Potential McCormick 0.45 MG Reservoir Surplus - Update: PWD Dorsey and PW
Sup/WSM Hunter provided Committee members with an update on the POTENTIAL
surplus and subsequent purchase by the City of Bremerton, of the 0.45 MG Reservoir
located at Feigley Road/Old Clifton Road. As this potential surplus and subsequent sale
MAY benefit both the City of Port Orchard and the City of Bremerton in their operations,
the City of Bremerton has prepared and submitted an Exhibit, depicting their ‘proposed’
Reservoir and Land Purchase desires. The proposed land purchase is an unexpected
wrinkle that Staff will evaluate. To be continued.
Well No. 9 Retrofit 2017-2018 CACM - Discussion: PWD Dorsey and PW
Sup/WSM Hunter advised Committee members that a draft Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) has been prepared for the currently scheduled 2017-2018 Well No. 9 Retrofit
Construction Administration/Management contract. The construction is anticipated to
commence in mid-to-late summer 2017, so the RFQ will be issued in April 2017. To be
continued.
SR 166 /RCW 47.24 Culvert Repair Implications - Update: PWD Dorsey had
previously reported to Committee members that both the maintenance and the repair
responsibility of an existing culvert located along SR 166 (just east of Suldan’s) was a
City responsibility. When WDFW investigated the area (as required for the City to
obtain a permit for the repair work), they determined that the culvert was in deed
connected to a small stream and NOT just to the hillside and roadside ditch as
previously thought. Therefore, the culvert repair along SR 166 will now trigger the
WSDOT replacement of a ‘barrier free’ culvert. No further action anticipated at this
point.
