The work requires multiple state and federal approvals, possible Department of Natural Resources (DNR) lease activity and specialized environmental studies.

Fusser said the pier buoys date to a 2002 permit and require a new lease with DNR for anchor locations; the dive-park buoys fall under an existing DNR lease that expired in 2020 and is in a holdover status. She identified the main permit requirements as a Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) with Attachment J, a potential Section 10 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, eelgrass and macroalgae surveys, and a SEPA environmental review. Fusser said many of these planning and study tasks require licensed professional services performed from a vessel and that the permits can be processed concurrently.

Fusser provided a preliminary city estimate of $45,000–$50,000 for professional services to prepare and submit the permits and an additional $5,000–$10,000 for installation work, noting the total could reach $50,000–$70,000 and the project likely would take more than a year. She said the staff member who had been leading the project left the city in April, and Parks staff have since had to reestablish project oversight.

Committee members discussed possible outside funding sources and whether county grant programs might apply; Parks staff said conservation-futures funding is primarily for land acquisition and likely ineligible, but agreed to explore other county funding programs. Fusser said the buoys are the city’s responsibility for public-safety reasons and that, while volunteer offers are welcome, technical and liability constraints limit volunteer roles unless the volunteers are licensed professionals who can sign off on work.

The committee received the update as an informational item; staff said it will return to council with a request for a contract for professional services and a funding plan when permitting work and cost estimates are firm.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Council Committee B 7/15/2025 3:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Parks staff told the council committee that six buoys—two by the fishing pier and four at the dive park—require new permits and possible lease action with Department of Natural Resources; staff estimated professional permitting and studies at $45,000–$50,000 plus installation, and said the project could take more than a year.","taxTitle","Edmonds, Snohomish County, Washington","taxId",51965,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6152527,"Edmonds committee clears event contracts for consent with revised barricade plan and fee estimates",203,876360,1079700,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5498164-5850335aa53a1692e2d697e8d730dd42&start=876&end=1079","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5498164-5850335aa53a1692e2d697e8d730dd42/thumbnail_876360.jpg","/articles/6152527/Edmonds/Snohomish-County/Washington/Edmonds-committee-clears-event-contracts-for-consent-with-revised-barricade-plan-and-fee-estimates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152527-dbac139bf5b04801b85d04899d3a9562/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139241&Signature=mhonVVhTHQ8NAIHaK9C7AZIQ69Z49cfNFH~vvo9CFWGrWYC-vtg~IbedUsXZ5MTyrRMDKaxW-76NIUTaxvm7fJK7WqzeAXMrsy8zcOxEAlGyknEGASrF8uXGU4aEAbjAeEg4wDX2GkiZLZa~GC9ocMOcdnKCH9CoxuN5wbd5qCLpqZVu9P9aY9MWVk7MFO4NLLGixIsrC11BLU8V6nSFPCRme8kQq0bjZ9DOC5nMqfJAZmNLouqQqTp7GimQXeobIJT3IyBGMAl7hXKHQ~xZRo5A8TpBhQBrMqinX~9LrItS6jsWorKL46bmtEggmpWj~0F7-kS0llRKKIGtOqdsqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Deputy Parks Director Shannon Burley told the Edmonds City Council committee on July 15 that the city is recommending Classic Car Show and Oktoberfest agreements be placed on the consent agenda after the promoter-supplied insurance certificate and revised contact language are completed.

Burley said the Chamber of Commerce (classic-car promoter) and the Edmonds Rotary (Oktoberfest promoter) will continue long-standing events that are free to the public; Oktoberfest includes a paid beer-garden area. For large street-closure events, Burley said the city’s street crew is short-staffed and the Chamber will hire a third party to deploy and remove no-parking and street-closure barricades. That change shifts road-closure responsibilities from city crews to the promoter and will reduce the city’s labor time and cost-recovery charge to the street team.

Burley explained that by city practice the contract lists fixed park-rental fees (as with Oktoberfest) but generally does not include line-item estimates for staff time and materials; those appear on the permit as fee estimates. The car show does not rent a park, so its costs are reflected in the permit estimate rather than a contract rental line. Burley said she will send the revised car-show agreement and updated permit attachment to committee members by email and that the Classic Car Show’s certificate of insurance is pending renewal.

Committee members supported forwarding both items to the full council on consent provided staff uploads the revised contracts, permits and the updated certificate of insurance for the car show. They also discussed public-safety measures and encouraged the promoters to consider taxi or transportation coordination for Oktoberfest; Burley noted Washington State Patrol emphasis patrols are common around large festivals.","The committee reviewed contracts for the Classic Car Show and Oktoberfest.

The engineer’s estimate for the combined work is about $1,810,000; Delila said seven bids were received and two were below the estimate.

The package covers ADA ramp work near the hospital district and along Olympic View Drive to prepare those segments for grant-funded overlays next year, and an overlay on 80 Eighth Avenue from 180 Fifth to 190 Fourth. Delila said the low bids under the estimate came from RRJ and Kamens Construction; staff is still vetting firms’ qualifications before award.

Delila said the city uses a pavement-evaluation program that collects condition data with a consultant’s vehicle to prioritize overlay projects. He noted that most ramp work will bring existing ramps into ADA compliance and address localized sidewalk defects rather than add new sidewalks. Delila told the committee the apparent favorable bid results mean staff does not expect to need additional funding to complete the work.

Construction is expected to begin in September and be completed by November, Delila said. Committee members asked that the bid backup and evaluation documentation be included in the packet before full-council consent and thanked staff for coordinating the site selection with the pavement program.

The committee recorded a consensus to forward the bid-award item to the full council on the consent agenda once packet materials are complete.","Seven bids arrived for three coordinated overlay and ADA-ramp projects on 80 Eighth Avenue and adjacent streets; two bids were below the engineer’s estimate of $1,810,000.

The contracts would run two years with a one-year option and replace the first set of contractors used under the program that began after a 2022 purchasing-policy amendment allowing job-order contracting.

The committee’s discussion focused on transparency about the awardees, compliance with state apprenticeship requirements and whether federal disaster funds such as FEMA could affect projects carried out under the program. Committee members agreed to forward the item to the full council on the consent agenda once the packet includes the contractors’ names and the bid documentation.

Sullivan said staff’s selection committee has vetted proposals and is ready to award three contracts. He told the committee he will circulate a form award letter for each contractor plus a general “intent to award” letter listing the three names and will ensure those documents are included in the packet before the item goes to the full council. Council members asked that the packet also include bid backup, engineer’s estimates and attachments that show how the firms were evaluated.

On apprenticeship requirements, Sullivan said the job-order contracting program incorporates the city’s purchasing policy requirements, including apprenticeship utilization when projects meet the statutory threshold. He said most of the projects he manages are below that threshold, so apprenticeships are not commonly triggered; when the threshold is met, the apprenticeship enrollment and OMWBE standards in the purchasing policy will apply.

On federal funding, a committee member asked whether a recent FEMA $100,000 spending-limit change would affect projects. Sullivan said the city currently has no projects using FEMA funds under the program; the job-order contracting framework can be used by other departments and would require coordination with the city’s engineers and Gordian, the city’s contract-administration vendor, if federal emergency funds applied.

The committee requested that Sullivan include the contractors’ names and the bid backup in the packet before the consent agenda and confirmed that any councilmember may pull the item from consent for more review. The committee’s agreement to forward the item was recorded as a consensus to place the renewal on the consent agenda pending the supplemental packet materials.","The Edmonds City Council committee reviewed a request to award three two-year job-order contracts after a new RFP process; committee members asked for contractor names, bid details and confirmation of apprenticeship and federal-funding rules before consent.","actionData","errors"]
