2026 Legislative Priorities
Old Clifton Road Water Intertie Project
The Old Clifton Road Water Intertie Project is a key component of the City's Capital Improvement Plan. This
project will connect Port Orchard's primary water system with the McCormick Woods system, enhancing
system reliability, balancing supply and demand, and supporting future growth to ensure the City can meet
long-term water needs. The estimated project cost is $6 million. The City has secured a $1 million loan from
the Public Works Assistance Account (PWAA) to fund pre -construction activities such as engineering and
permitting and is pursuing an additional loan to advance the project. To help minimize the overall loan
amount and reduce impacts on ratepayers, the City respectfully requests $1 million in funding support toward
the project cost.
Sedgwick Roundabouts at SR-16/SR-160 Intersections
While new transportation revenue in 2026 may be unlikely, the need for improvements at the Sedgwick Road
(State Route 160) and State Route 16 interchange remains pressing. These routes are vital regional and local
corridors, yet they are increasingly strained by traffic congestion and safety challenges. The City of Port
Orchard has invested in temporary measures to provide short-term relief, but only long-term improvements
will adequately address the challenges. The City proposes constructing two compact roundabouts at the SR-16
and SR-160 interchanges to improve traffic flow and safety. Prior to inflationary cost increase, the project was
estimated at $6 million.
Derelict Vessels
The current state budget allocates $17.1 million to the Derelict Vessel Removal Program (DVRP). The City
urges the Legislature to protect and maintain these dedicated funds. We also call on the Legislature to
streamline processes for timely removal of hazardous vessels and support local governments in addressing
this growing issue. This program is vital to public safety, environmental protection, and navigable waterways.
On the Horizon: Orchard Street Plaza
The Orchard Street Plaza will be a permanent public gathering space in downtown Port Orchard, designed to
support community events, local businesses, and year-round public use. The plaza will provide a safe,
accessible, and attractive destination for residents and visitors, strengthening the city's downtown core and
enhancing quality of life. The total project cost is estimated at $3.5 million. While the City is advancing the
project through planning and design, state funding support will be essential in later stages to bring the full
vision of the plaza to life.

2026 Legislative Priorities

Other Important Topics
Port Orchard will emphasize the importance of the following issues when they are brought up for discussion by
the Legislature.
Municipal Water Supply - Foster Pilot Program
The City of Port Orchard was chosen by the state for a water resource mitigation pilot project to address
municipal water supply challenges after the Foster decision. The City has invested over $1 million in City funds
for this pilot project, which to date has not resulted in Ecology -approved water supply. The Legislature must
adopt solutions providing municipalities a path to sustainable water permitting and usage, as required to
accommodate growth under the Growth Management Act.
Penalty on Vacant Buildings
Cities need more tools to discourage landowners from allowing buildings to sit vacant or in disrepair.
Oppose New Housing & Homelessness Mandates
The Legislature has aggressively enacted new city requirements aimed at increasing housing supply and
reducing homelessness. Port Orchard believes the Legislature should allow cities time to implement these new
requirements and assess their impact before passing any new mandates.
Transportation Revenue
Port Orchard not only requires additional state investment in projects to address unsafe conditions and
alleviate congestion, but also increased shared funding for city transportation needs. We will assess proposals
that generate new revenue for transportation to determine whether they will help Port Orchard with these
needs.
Infrastructure Funding
Cities require stable and growing infrastructure funding to meet the demands of the Legislature and our
residents for: affordable housing, reliable utility services, public health and recreation, access to city services.
The Legislature must protect and increase existing infrastructure programs relied upon by local governments.
The City of Port Orchard supports the Association of Washington Cities' legislative agenda.

Agenda Staff Report
Public Hearing: Multi -Family Tax Exemption Ordinance Public Hearing (Bond)
Meeting Date: October 28, 2025
Prepared By: Nick Bond, AICP, Community Development Director
Presenter: Nick Bond, AICP, Community Development Director
Summary and Background:
In 2024, the City Council requested that a discussion of the Multi -Family Tax Exemption (MFTE) program be placed
on a future agenda for discussion. This discussion was on hold pending completion of the City's Comprehensive
Plan Update and Middle Housing ordinance. After completing work on the Comprehensive Plan in June, staff
prepared a discussion item on MFTE at the July 2025 work study meeting. MFTE was discussed a second time at
the September 16, City Council work study meeting at which time, the City Council requested that a public hearing
be scheduled on the proposed ordinance.
The new ordinance is based on the ordinance that was repealed in 2023. The ordinance is revised in several
ways. Most notably, the old ordinance had three different maps that corresponded to different MFTE approval
criteria while the new ordinance has a single map. Now, to qualify for MFTE, a project would have to meet one of
four criteria listed in section 3.48.060 (6). For the 12-year affordable housing MFTE, the project would have to
meet one of these four criteria and provide affordable housing at lower rents than required in the 2023
ordinance.
The four criteria listed in proposed section Port Orchard Municipal Code (POMC) 3.48.060 (6) are as follows:
(a) The multi -family housing project must be in a mixed -use shopfront building containing commercial
ground floor uses measuring at least 4,000 square feet or 40% of the building's footprint, whichever is less. For
the purposes of this section, live -work units may satisfy up to half of the requirement for commercial ground floor
uses, but shall not be considered dwelling units for the purposes of determining eligibility for a tax exemption or
for calculating the total number of required affordable units; or
(b) The multi -family housing project must be in a building containing at least four (4) stories of residential
units and achieving at least 40 units per net acre (gross acreage, less critical areas and associated buffers). All
portions of buildings must contain four (4)-stories of multi -family units. Where buildings step down following
topography, each portion of the building must contain four (4)-stories; or
(c) The multi -family project must provide middle housing and be on a parcel/lot measuring less than
27
15,000 square feet with between 4-12 multi -family units; or
(d) The multi -family project must provide 100% of any on -site parking below grade or entirely within
footprint of buildings containing tax exempt units.
The affordability criteria for a 12-year MFTE project as proposed in POMC 3.48.060 (7) changed the required rent
for affordable units from 10% below HUD fair market rent to 25% below HUD fair market rent.
Since advertising a public hearing on the proposed ordinance, staff has met with and the city has received a
written comment from the Kitsap Homebuilders Association (KBA). In the meetings with the KBA, they provided
some suggestions for minor amendments that have been incorporated into the draft ordinance and include:
1. Revising proposed section 3.48.060 (6) (a) to clarify that live work units may satisfy 50% of the required
minimum commercial area but would not be treated as multi -family units under the chapter.
2. Revising proposed section 3.48.060 (6) (d) such that parking be located within the footprint of the building
and non -necessarily be located underground.
The sections of code that have changes since the previous version reviewed by the City Council are highlighted in
the draft ordinance in yellow.
In the KBA letter, they ask that the requirement for affordable units be amended, reducing the affordable unit
percentage below fair market rent from the currently proposed 25% down to 20%. After discussing the comment
letter with the Land Use Committee and after researching the basis for the request, staff have discovered that a
reduction may be warranted.
In an earlier analysis, it was assumed that HUD fair market rents were generally in line with the market rents
found in Port Orchard. However, staff has found that newer apartments are rented above the HUD published fair
market rent and that is without considering that utilities are included in the HUD fair market rent. By using a
utility allowance added to the market rents found at the recently constructed Plisko Apartments project, you can
see that apartments in this project are rented above the published HUD numbers. This means that affordable
units are renting below market rate even before the 10%, 20%, or 25% reduction has been applied.
HUD Fair Market Rent vs. Market Rent
2025 HUD Fair Market Rent 2025 Market Rent (per month includes utility
(per month includes utilities) allowance - Plisko Apts)
1-Bedroom $1,568.00 $1,791.00
2-Bedroom $2,057.00 $2,310.00
3-Bedroom $2,685.00 $2,969.00
Once the difference between the HUD Fair Market Rent and Market Rents is added to the reductions
in rent being considered, the savings to individual renters is larger than previously estimated.

Background
The State of Washington has authorized cities to adopt Multi -Family Tax Exemption (MFTE) programs
since 1995, pursuant to RCW 84.14. These programs are intended to support the development of
multifamily housing and, in some cases, affordable housing in urban areas experiencing growth
pressures. Port Orchard adopted its MFTE program in 2016 to incentivize the construction of new
multifamily housing, including affordable units, by providing a limited property tax exemption on the
value of residential improvements for a period of eight or twelve years.
Since 2016, the City entered seven MFTE agreements supporting the construction of 442 apartment
units, with two projects (totaling 97 units) reserving 20% of units as affordable housing in exchange for
a 12-year exemption. Several other multi -family projects have been constructed since 2016 without
participating in the MFTE program.
Under the repealed framework, there were two types of 8-year exemptions and a 12-year exemption.
The 8-year exemptions targeted redevelopment and encouraging projects with structured parking.
The 12-year exemption required that 20% of units be rented at 10% below HUD fair market rent for
the duration of the MFTE approval.
Increasing housing supply has been shown to be effective in combatting rent increases. As many new
apartments became available in 2021 and 2022, data shows that vacancy rates climbed above 5% and
rents in Port Orchard stopped increasing at the rates seen between 2014 and 2021 when vacancy
rates were below 5%. MFTE does not significantly impact the property tax revenues received by the
29
City or junior taxing districts. Instead, the savings that go to developers is shifted to other properties
in Port Orchard resulting in very small property tax increases for the duration of the MFTE approval.
(See the attached "What is Tax Shift" document produced by Commerce.) At the same time, the City
receives numerous one-time revenues such as impact fees, connection charges, permit fees, and a
boost in Sales Tax and REET revenue related to the construction and sale of new housing units.
In October 2023, the City Council repealed POMC Chapter 3.48, eliminating the City's previously
adopted MFTE program. This decision followed extensive policy review and deliberation, including
ongoing discussions at the Land Use Committee and during the City's Housing Action Plan (HAP)
development.
In June 2023, the City adopted its Housing Action Plan, which included recommendations for
expanding the MFTE program tailored to local housing, affordability goals and allowing middle housing
projects to qualify for MFTE. The City's 2024 Comprehensive Plan, adopted after the repeal of Chapter
3.48, reaffirms support for MFTE as a policy tool to address housing needs, directing staff to evaluate
options for reimplementation.
For additional MFTE resources, please visit the following Department of Commerce website:
https://www.commerce.wa.gov/growth-management/housing-planning/mfte/
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: Policies in the Comprehensive Plan (including the Housing
Action Plan adopted by reference) support the use of MFTE as a tool to provide for affordable housing.
Recommendation: Staff Recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing on the draft
MFTE ordinance.
Motion for Consideration: N/A
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: Work Study
Fiscal Impact: Due to the Kitsap County Assessor's "Tax shift" policy, MFTE does not reduce city or
special taxing district revenues but instead shifts that tax liability across the tax base. There are some
administrative costs to a MFTE program and it is expected that it could require up to 10% of an
existing full time employee's time to manage a program. If approved, MFTE is likely to generate
significant other revenues including sales tax, REET, utility connection fee, impact fee, and permit
revenues by incentivizing development.
Alternatives: Amend the proposed ordinance, do not advance the proposed ordinance for
consideration. Based on written testimony received, the City Council may wish to amend the
percentage in proposed POMC 3.48.060 (7) from 25% down to 20% or even lower.

Business Items: Adoption of an Ordinance Setting the amount of Property Tax to be levied for Year
2026, Pursuant to RCW 84.55.120 (Crocker)

Prepared By: Noah Crocker, M.B.A., Finance Director
Presenter: Noah Crocker, M.B.A., Finance Director
Summary and Background: The City published notices on September 26th, and October loth, 2025 for a
public hearing on revenues sources and property tax for 2026 to be held on October 14. On October
14th 2025, the City Council held a public hearing on revenue sources for the current expense (general
fund) budget. The hearing included a presentation and discussion on property tax considered for
collection in 2026. Below is a comparison of next year's levy amount to this year's levy amount.
State law (RCW 84.52.043) establishes maximum levy rates for the various types of taxing districts (the
state, counties, cities and towns, fire districts, library districts and the like). The total City of Port
Orchard 2026 property tax levy amount is estimated to be $4,273,525, based upon an estimated
$1.097402 per thousand of current total assessed value of $3,866,371,519. The 2026 amount is
estimated until the final levy calculation is completed by the Kitsap County Assessor. Pursuant to RCW
84.55.120 the City Council is required to adopt a separate ordinance specifically authorizing an
increase in the regular property tax levy in terms of both dollars and percentage increase from the
previous year's levy. By this Ordinance, the City Council would authorize an increase of $0 which is a
0% increase from the previous year, exclusive of additional revenue resulting from new construction,
improvements to property, newly constructed wind turbines, solar, biomass, and geothermal facilities,
and any increase in the value of state assessed property, any annexations that have occurred and
refunds made.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: Funding from this levy supports the Current Expense and
Street fund considered to be the General Fund.
Recommendation:
Council Finance Committee recommends approval of the Ordinance.

Motion for Consideration:
I move to adopt Ordinance No. OXX-25, setting the 2026 property tax levy and the amount of property
taxes to be raised for the budget year of 2026.

Agenda Staff Report
Business Items: Adoption of an Ordinance on the Mid -Biennial Review and Amendments to the 2025-
2026 Biennial Budget (Crocker)
Meeting Date: October 28, 2025
Prepared By: Noah Crocker, M.B.A., Finance Director
Presenter: Noah Crocker, M.B.A., Finance Director
Summary and Background:
This Ordinance amends Ordinance No. 018-24, adopting the 2025 — 2026 Biennial Budget (as
previously amended by Ord. No. 005-25 and Ord. No. 010-25).
As established by RCW 35A.34.130, the City is required to conduct a mid -biennial review of the City's
biennial budget. This review shall occur no sooner than eight months after the start of the biennium
(September 1) and no later than the close of the fiscal year (December 31). Consistent with this
timeline, the Mayor, in consultation with Staff, proposed modifications to the Biennial Budget for the
City Council's review.
The City Council has undertaken a thorough review of the proposed modifications. The Finance
Committee met and reviewed the proposed modifications to the budget at its regular meeting on
October 14, 2025. Additionally, the City Council held a public hearing on revenues sources and
property tax at its regular meeting on October 14, 2025. The City Council held a public hearing on the
mid -biennial review on October 21, 2025 during the work study session, which allowed the City
Council to review the proposed modifications to the city budget, receive public comment, and
provided additional direction to staff for additional modifications.
The City focused its criteria for mid -year modification to those items that are necessary corrections,
are required by contract, law or need, and have large capital and operational budgetary impacts.
This proposed budget amendment Ordinance provides for additional expenditure authority of
52
$10,323,144 as identified in the budget amendment table included with the Ordinance. These biennial
budget amendments adds new positions in the city and accordingly adjusts FTE, as identified in Exhibit
A -Personnel list. These amendments also provide for three additional vehicles to the ERR fleet and
one modification (of a vehicle type), provide for additional revenue adjustments to fund balance and
to recognize anticipated and grant proceeds.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: Parks -South Kitsap Community Events Center & Plaza
Facilities - Lloyd Parkway Improvements
Transportation -TIP 1.16 SR166/Bay Street, TIF 1.22 Fredrick Ave Improvement (Prospect to
Waterfront)
Storm -Annapolis Creek Culvert Replacement, Ruby Creek Culvert Replacement
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance, as presented.
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt an Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 018-24, the 2025 —
2026 Biennial Budget for the City of Port Orchard.
Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: Work Study
Fiscal Impact: The 2025-2026 Biennial Budget amendment increases expenditure authority by
$10,323,144.
Alternatives: Ordinance No. OXX-25, recognizes changes to the Budget not known at the time of
adoption of the 2025 — 2026 Biennial Budget. Failure to formalize these changes by Ordinance results
in a budget not reflective of authorized revenue and expense. The city would be out of compliance
with accepted budgeting procedures and subject to an audit finding.

Business Items: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Contract with Skillings,

Meeting Date: October 28, 2025
Prepared By: Sayre Thompson, PW Procurement Specialist
Presenter: Denis Ryan, CPWP-M, CPRP, Public Works Director
Summary and Background:
The existing culvert conveying Ruby Creek beneath Sidney Road has been identified as a fish passage
barrier. With upstream improvements completed by the Stetson Heights development and
downstream improvements by WSDOT at SR 16, the City is now moving forward with design services
to replace the culvert with a fish -passable structure. The project will address habitat connectivity,
stream function, and regulatory compliance, and will incorporate roadway, utility, and environmental
considerations.
Pursuant to RCW 39.80 and the City's procurement policies, the City issued a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) on June 4, 2025, for professional engineering services under the category of fish
passage and culvert replacement design. By the July 1, 2025 deadline, multiple Statements of
Qualifications were received. After evaluation and interviews, Skillings, Inc. was selected as the most
qualified consultant.
Public Works staff then negotiated the scope, fee, and terms of the contract with Skillings, Inc. The
resulting Professional Services Agreement includes Exhibits A (Scope of Work) and B (Fee Estimate), in
an amount not to exceed $665,682. The contract term runs from October 28, 2025 through April 28,
2027, with two optional one-year extensions at the City's discretion.
This project is funded through a Recreation and Conservation Office Grant (RCO Project #21-1498), as
authorized by Resolution No. 081-22, adopted by the City Council on August 9, 2022.
Relationship to Comprenhensive Plan: 5 - Natural Systems
Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with Skillings, Inc. for the Ruby Creek Culvert Replacement Project in
the amount of $665,682.
Motion for Consideration: I move to adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with Skillings, Inc. for the Ruby Creek Culvert Replacement Project in
the amount of $665,682.

Has item been presented to Committee/Work Study? If so, which one: N/A
Fiscal Impact: The total contract amount of $665,682 is funded through a combination of grant funds
and local match. The City has secured $441,102 in grant funding from the Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO Project #21-1498) to support the design phase of the Ruby Creek culvert
replacement project. The remaining $224,580 will be covered using existing funds from Storm Capital
Facility Charges fund 423.
Alternatives: Do not approve and provide further guidance.

consultants of the Consultant. The City shall not be responsible for withholding or otherwise deducting

Re: City of Port Orchard, Ruby Creek Sidney Road Fish Barrier Removal
Port Orchard, Washington
Proposal No. NCP2025-382
Dear Patrick and Ian:
Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) thanks you for the opportunity to present this proposal to
Skillings, Inc. (Skillings) to support the City of Port Orchard (City), Ruby Creek Fish Barrier
Removal for the culvert crossing at Sidney Road (Project). We feel our extensive experience with
fish barrier removal as well as in the City of Port Orchard, our responsiveness, and considerable
experience with similar culvert replacement work will provide exceptional value and advance project
development in an efficient and thoughtful manner.
Project Understanding
We understand the City wants to replace a barrier culvert with a box culvert or bridge. The
replacement structure will be designed to meet fish passage and habitat enhancement objectives in
accordance with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) guidance and applicable
regulations.
Scope of Services
Our scope of services is to provide geotechnical support for design of the box culvert or bridge. This
will include a desktop study to review publicly available data, maps, and information provided by
Skillings and the City.
The following sections describe our proposed Tasks 1 and 2 under this scope of work.
Task 1: Geotechnicai Evaluation
The geotechnical evaluation Subtasks 1.1 through 1.3 are described below.
Subtask M: Review and Subsurface Exploration Program
Geosyntec will begin with reviewing existing subsurface data in the Project vicinity to provide
background understanding of the site and geologic conditions in the site vicinity. We will prepare for
subsurface exploration efforts under this subtask. This includes internal project team coordination
and preparation of a site -specific health and safety plan. It also includes an initial site visit to assess
existing conditions and mark potential exploration locations based on an understanding of the Project
goals and access. Geosyntec will coordinate one -call public utility locates at least 3 business days in
advance of the explorations and coordinate with a private utility locator to clear the proposed
exploration areas prior to drilling.
Page 1
144
Skillings, Inc.
October 9, 2025 Proposal No. NCP2025-382
Geosyntec will conduct subsurface explorations through a one -day drilling program. The purpose of
the drilling program is to develop an understanding of geologic and groundwater conditions in the
Project vicinity. The drilling program will consist of two soil borings using a truck -mounted drilling
rig, operated by a subcontractor. The soil borings will be advanced using hollow stem auger methods
under the supervision of a Geosyntec field representative. The borings will be completed to a depth
of approximately 55 feet below embankment fill surface approximately 25 feet below the creek bed
elevation.
Soil samples will be collected at 2.5- to 5-foot intervals using Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
methods. Soil cuttings will be drummed and removed from the Site. The borings will be backfilled
with bentonite chips in accordance with Ecology requirements.
After the drilling program, Geosyntec will return to the site to conduct up to four shallow subsurface
explorations with hand tools ("hand auger explorations") at the toe of the bank slopes and channel.
The explorations will be completed to 5 feet bgs or to practical refusal, whichever occurs first.
Relative density of the on -Site soils will be determined using a hand-held steel probe ("T-probe").
The hand auger explorations will be backfilled with excavated soils.
Client Responsibility
• The City will waive permit requirements and fees to complete subsurface explorations in the
right-of-way (ROW). We will provide the City with advance notice of the proposed field
schedule.
Assumptions
• Geosyntec will participate in up to two planning meetings (up to 1 hour of project manager time
per meeting) to coordinate the exploration phase.
• The explorations will be performed within the asphalt -paved roadway along the culvert
alignment, and on the City ROW. The City will not charge or will waive the permitting fee for
ROW access approval for the explorations. Traffic control will be required, and traffic control
subcontractors will be managed by Geosyntec.
Deliverables
• Drilling program (2-day program) for up to two borings
• Up to four shallow subsurface explorations with hand tools
• Traffic Control Plan
Subtask 1.2: Geotechnical LaboratoryTesting
Geosyntec will subcontract a geotechnical testing laboratory to perform testing on selected soil
samples retrieved from the explorations. Laboratory tests may include natural moisture content,
particle size analysis, and Atterberg limit tests.
Assumptions
• Geosyntec will manage their work and that of their subcontractors. Subcontractor costs include
the laboratory testing.
Deliverables
• Laboratory testing for soil samples

October 9, 2025 Proposal No. NCP2025-382
Subtask 1.3: Geotechnical Support for Design and Reporting
Using the results of the reconnaissance, exploration program, and laboratory testing, Geosyntec will
perform geotechnical analysis to inform design of the Project elements and produce a draft
geotechnical engineering report (GER) to document findings, results, conclusions, and
recommendations in support of the preferred alternative project design. The draft GER will include
the following:
Characterization of Site geology, surficial channel morphology and subsurface conditions across
the Site:
■ Logs of explorations and site and exploration map showing locations of the explorations;
■ Laboratory testing results;
■ Discussion of geologic hazards;
■ Discussion of suitable culvert foundation types, and other pertinent design elements; and
■ Geotechnical recommendations for construction of the proposed improvements
(earthwork recommendations, groundwater control, subgrade preparation,
recommendations for structural fill, etc.).
■ Code based seismic design recommendations following current WSDOT and AASTO
guidance for the Safety Evaluation Earthquake (SEE) and Functional Evaluation
Earthquake (FEE) design scenarios.
As the project progresses, Geosyntec will update their recommendations to tailor design
recommendations to the final design. Geosyntec will produce a final GER that will supersede the
draft GER and include more detailed design recommendations.
Geotechnical support under this subtask will include input and review of the project's preferred
alternative plan sets, as well as input and review of the project specification and special provisions
package.
Assumptions
• The guiding design document will be the WSDOT Bridge Design Manual.
■ The WSDOT Bridge Design Manual does not require seismic design for retaining walls
with exposed heights less than 10 feet. The average exposed wall height (including
additional height from potential scour exposure) will be less than 10 feet, thus we do not
anticipate seismic design will be a design consideration for the culvert wingwalls.
• Geosyntec will participate in up to six design development meetings over the course of the
Project (up to 1 hour of project manager time and up to 1 hour support staff time per meeting).
Deliverables
• Draft GER in support of preferred alternative design
• Final GER in support of final design
■ The final GER will incorporate review comments on the draft GER provided by Skillings
and the City and will include long-term groundwater monitoring data.

Exhibit A
Scope of Work
Ruby Creek Culvert Replacement
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Agreement is to provide structural engineering professional services necessary for the
preparation of an alternatives analysis for the replacement, 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design of the
replacement structure for the corrugated metal squash culvert that currently passes Ruby Creek below
Sydney Road in Port Orchard, Washington.
SERVICES
Sargent Engineers, Inc. (Sargent) will work in coordination with Skillings (Prime Consultant) and its sub -
consultants, along with the City of Port Orchard (the City) to prepare the structural elements required to
develop up to three feasible options for inclusion in an alternatives analysis. After a preferred alternative is
selected by the City, Sargent will develop structural 30% design layout, estimate, and schedule.
Sargent will then provide supplemental support to the Prime Consultant during the 60%, 90%, and PS&E
phases of the project.
In order to accomplish this, Sargent will rely on the work completed by the Prime Consultant and its sub -
consultants, with disciplines as listed below:
1. Geotechnical Engineering
2. Environmental Planning
3. Hydraulic and Hydrologic Engineering
4. Roadway/Civil Design
5. Surveying
Sargent will coordinate with the Prime Consultant and assist as necessary to ensure the structural
components of the design takes all relevant factors into account.
In order to complete the structural components of the design, Sargent Engineers will perform the following
tasks:
1. Structural Support/Design
Sargent Engineers, will perform the following tasks to support the Prime Consultant in the project:

the project develops.
Exhibit A Scope of Work
Page 1 of 5
150
Sargent Engineers will provide monthly invoicing of all structural project work, along with brief
progress descriptions.
Sargent Engineers will participate in up to eight video conference meetings to discuss, review, and
share information throughout the alternatives analysis and the 30% design phase.
Assumptions:
• All meetings will be virtual and none will be in -person
• Sargent principal and/or staff engineer will participate in meetings.
Deliverables:
• Key information exchanged during meetings will be incorporated into the structural
components of the alternatives analysis.
• Monthly invoices and progress reports.
B. Site Reconnaissance and Data Collection
Sargent Engineers staff will visit the site to collect information regarding existing/adjacent
structures and other site features that may impact the project. The survey provided by the Prime
Consultant's survey sub -consultant will be imported and used as a base map for the project, and
any available traffic count data and detour routes will be examined.
Assumptions:
• The City will obtain any needed rights of entry to allow Sargent to access lands both upstream
and downstream from the crossing.
Deliverables:
• None.
C. Alternatives Analysis — Structural Components
Based on the site topography, hydraulic analysis, geotechnical analysis, civil/roadway design data,
and environmental constraints identified by the Prime Consultant and its sub -consultants, Sargent
Engineers will develop up to 3 structural concepts to fit site conditions for the replacement
structure.
The concepts will be developed with respect to structure configuration, traffic impacts, construction
cost and duration, and durability. The WSDOT "Bridge Design Manual" and AASHTO "LRFD
Bridge Design Specification" will be used as the basis of the crossing structure design
requirements.
Initial discussions indicate the three options will likely consist of a precast concrete 3-sided box
culvert, a precast concrete arch culvert, or a corrugated metal arch culvert. Foundations will be
either precast concrete, cast -in -place concrete, or a combination of both. Depending on
geotechnical considerations provided by the geotechnical sub -consultant, the foundations may
require deep foundations.
Sargent will prepare conceptual figures of the crossing structure concepts to facilitate alternatives
development. These conceptual figures are expected to consist of a single plan and elevation

• Approximate construction duration schedule for each alternative in PDF.
D. Type, Size, and Location Report — Structural Components
The alternatives will be included in a Type, Size, and Location (TS&L) Report that identifies the
pros/cons and estimate of construction costs for each alternative. The master TS&L Report will be
prepared by the Prime Consultant. Sargent will contribute, in coordination with the Prime
Consultant, the structural components of the TS&L report. These components will include the
discussion related to the following items:
• Cost estimates.
• Geometric constraints.
• Project staging and stage construction requirements.
• Foundations.
• Feasibility of construction.
• Structural constraints
• Maintenance.
Deliverables developed during the alternatives analysis will be formatted for incorporation into the
TS&L report and included as appropriate.
Sargent will review the master TS&L Report as prepared by the Prime Consultant and provide
comments and recommended revisions to ensure consistency between the master document and
the structural components of the report.
Assumptions:
• The Prime Consultant will prepare the master TS&L Report, with Sargent providing the
structural components for insertion into the master document.
