1 Highway Construction Program Monthly Delivery Progress Report Watch List October 2018 This report focuses on Capital Highway Program projects, which have, or may have significant changes in scope, schedule, or budget. These projects are reported monthly by CPDM to identify when and how these delivery issues are resolved. The Monthly Delivery Progress Report Watch List replaces the quarterly delivery progress report previously known as The Gray Notebook Watch List. A monthly report allows for timely reporting and improves transparency on delivery progress. This report sorts projects into three categories: new projects being reported on, changes from last month, and projects previously reported that have no changes and are not yet resolved. o New projects this month. These projects have been added to the watch list due to potential changes or issues in scope, schedule, or budget. This category also includes projects with changes that occurred and were resolved within the current month. o Changes from a Prior Month. Changes discussed in this section were on a previous month s watch list and have other issues that have happened; or they may have been resolved. o No Changes from Prior Month. These projects were on the previous month s watch list and are being followed while an issue is in the process of being resolved. o Projects are Removed when delivery has been delayed out of the Project Delivery Plan horizon, when delivery has been attained, or when a significant issue has been mitigated and/or approved by WSDOT. For additional information on scope, schedule and budget for all projects, please visit WSDOT's project pages.

4 Project Detail Below is the detail behind the above summary. New in October 2018 SR 18/EB Soosette Creek to Jenkins Creek Paving (King) C Issue: This project's estimated cost has increased by $900,000. This project will resurface the mainline and three ramps to rehabilitate the existing pavement and preserve the roadway surface on SR 18 eastbound, from Soosette Creek to Jenkins Creek in Covington. The project's estimated cost has increased by $900,000, from $2.4 million to $3.3 million, due mainly to an updated engineer's estimate adjusted for current bid item costs. The largest contributors to this increase are higher costs for pavement and traffic control items. I-90/Sprague Ave I/C to Argonne Rd I/C - PCCP Rehabilitation Grinding (Spokane) O Issue: This project total cost estimate has increased by $1 million. The pavement on a 3.5-mile section of I-90, between N Havana St and N Argonne Rd in Spokane, is rutted and in need of repair. This project will rehabilitate the concrete pavement surface by grinding it to a sufficient depth to remove the wheel rutting caused by studded tires. Repairing this section of I-90 will provide a smoother driving surface and preserve the roadway. This project s grinding work was originally intended to address the pavement leading up to the four bridges, and excluded any bridge deck work. During the preliminary engineering phase, severe rutting was identified on the bridges. WSDOT determined that the recommended solution would be to modify the expansion joints and repair the bridge deck and the approach slab rutting. The repair work is being done on two bridges: where I-90 spans Sprague Ave., and where I-90 spans a railroad crossing located four miles east of Junction US 2. 4 October 2018

5 The cost estimate has increased by $1 million on the construction phase, which has increased the total project cost to $7.6 million. SR 181/SR 516 to W James St Paving (King) E; SR 181/SR 516 to W Sam St - ADA Compliance (King) F Issue: The project's estimated cost has increased by $1.3 million. This preservation project will resurface SR 181 by grind and inlay in both directions, from SR 516 to James Street in Kent. The project's estimated cost has increased by $763,000, from $1.2 million to $1.8 million, due to an updated engineer's estimate. The pavement condition has deteriorated more than originally anticipated and the increase is mainly due to including additional items that were not in the original estimate. Additionally, bid item costs were higher for pavement and traffic control items. SR 202/Two Tributaries to Patterson Creek - Fish Passage (King) C Issue: The project's estimated cost has increased by $2.2 million. This Design-Build project will remove the existing fish passage barriers located on SR 202 at Two Tributaries to Patterson Creek, near Fall City. These culverts will be replaced with two fish passable structures. The project s total cost estimate has increased by $2.2 million, from $2.9 million to $5.1 million, mainly due to a design solution change. Originally, the design solution replaced the culverts with precast concrete structures, paving the roadway over the top. During design, it was determined that the roadway could not be paved over the precast structures without additional roadway bed preparation, also called sub-surfacing work. The department analyzed the following two options: 1) install eight inches of roadway sub-surfacing over the precast structures, then pave the roadway; or 2) install a cast-inplace concrete deck, and then pave the roadway. Option One would raise the roadway by one foot, which would require a wall to be constructed and cause significant wetland impacts. Option Two would require a lengthy highway closure due to the required curing time for the concrete deck. SR 433/Lewis and Clark Bridge - Replace Navigation Lights (Cowlitz) N Issue: The project s advertisement has been delayed by nine months. This project will replace the navigation lights, channel lights, and the associated electrical systems on the SR 433 Lewis and Clark Bridge that spans the Columbia River between Longview, WA and Rainier, OR. 5 October 2018

6 Ownership of this bridge is a shared partnership between Washington and Oregon, with WSDOT acting as the lead agency for delivery of the project. The design was delayed by several months because it took longer than anticipated to complete the agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation. This has delayed the environmental process and will delay the advertisement date by nine months, to summer 2019, and the operationally complete date by one year, to winter I-405/NE 132nd Street Interchange - New Interchange (King) B (CW Revenue Package) Issue: An added fish barrier removal has increased the project's estimated cost by $8 million. This Design-Build project will construct a new on-ramp to northbound I-405, and a new off-ramp from southbound I-405 at Northeast 132nd Street in Kirkland. Correcting fish barriers is a priority for WSDOT. The agency s policy is to review and assess all transportation projects for fish barriers within the vicinity of project limits, and apply criteria to determine if the fish barrier will be included in the project. As a result of the agency s assessment, the existing fish barrier at the NE 132nd Street Interchange area was added to the project. The additional work increased the project's cost estimate by $8 million, from $75 million to $83 million. This work can be accomplished within the project's current schedule. SR 501/I-5 to Port of Vancouver - Intersection and Profile Improvements (Clark) A (CW Revenue Package) Issue: The project's advertisement date has been delayed by one year to winter Oversized freight traffic from the Port of Vancouver must divert from this section of SR 501 onto local streets due to curves in the roadway and limited overhead clearances. This project will remove high points in the roadway, reconstruct traffic signals to improve mobility for large freight vehicles, and increase safety for all modes of transportation along the corridor of SR 501 and I-5 to the Port of Vancouver. The advertisement has been delayed by one year to winter 2020, which has delayed the construction season by one year to 2020, and the operationally complete date by one year to fall The delay will allow WSDOT more time to work with local stakeholders to further define and agree upon the project s needs in order to finalize the scope of work for the project. 6 October 2018

7 SR 507/N of Rainier to Jct SR 7 Paving (Pierce, Thurston) B Issue: The project's estimate has increased by $1.4 million. The existing pavement on SR 507 between Rainier and Spanaway is deteriorating due to normal wear and tear. The pavement condition rating is projected to drop below the adopted standard. This project will overlay the existing roadway with hot mix asphalt as recommended in the materials report. The overlay will extend the life of the roadway and increase the existing pavement condition rating to within adopted standards. The project's estimated cost has increased by $1.4 million, to $4.3 million. The increase is due to an updated engineer s estimate adjusted for current bid item costs, as well as additional bid items identified during the development of the design. Changes from a Prior Month US 2/West of Leavenworth - Slope Stabilization (Chelan) N Changes from a Prior Month: This project remains at risk due to design and environmental challenges. Previously reported: This project's advertisement date has been delayed by two years to fall of 2020, which has delayed the construction season by two years to Additional research is needed to perform a modeling analysis to protect the fish and wildlife on the Wenatchee River during the project s construction, and obtain a permit for the project. Update to the June 2018 report: The delay is due to the Department of Fish and Wildlife requesting additional research including a preliminary reach analysis of the Wenatchee River in order to permit the project. Aerial surveying of the Wenatchee River section in the project area is completed. The River Reach Analysis is scheduled to begin this winter and be completed early next spring. Environmental discussions are on hold pending the study results. 7 October 2018

8 I-90/468th Ave SE to W Summit Rd WB - Rehab Concrete (King) H Changes from a Prior Month: The project's estimated cost has increased by $1.5 million. This project is being reported and removed from this list. Previously reported: This project was timed to begin after a section of the I-90/468th Ave SE to W Summit Rd - Concrete, Deck & Culvert Rehab contract work was completed, the detour route removed, and the roadway open to traffic. However, during construction, the I-90/468th Ave SE to W Summit Rd - Concrete, Deck & Culvert Rehab contract encountered problems with the deck rehabilitation work, which has delayed the project, requiring reinstallation of the detour route. To avoid increased impacts to the traveling public with both projects being constructed during the 2018 construction season, the advertisement on this project has been delayed by seven months to fall 2018 and delayed the construction season by one year to Project completion is delayed by one year to fall The project's estimated cost has increased by $2.7 million, to $25.8 million prior to advertisement. This increase is mainly due to an updated engineer s estimate, which refined the bid item quantities and adjusted the unit bid item costs to reflect current market conditions. In addition, WSDOT made changes to the striping policy for Snoqualmie Pass and widened the grooved lane stripe from 4 to 6 wide to improve visibility in inclement weather. An inset edge stripe was used for greater longevity. Update to the September 2018 report: The project's estimated cost has further increased by $1.5 million, to $27.3 million. The low bidder was 7.8% over the department's estimate. This increase is mainly due to higher unit bid item prices for replacing cement concrete panels, cement concrete pavement grinding and hot mix asphalt work. The contract was awarded on October 29, No Changes from Prior Month SR 6/Two Tributaries to Chehalis River - Fish Passage (Lewis) J Previously reported: The advertisement has been delayed by seven months to fall 2019, which has delayed the construction season by one year to 2020 and the operationally complete date by one year to fall October 2018

9 The schedule delay is because a waterline needs to be relocated. The Boistfort Valley Water District is responsible for this relocation and they need additional time to procure the funding needed to pay for the work. SR 150/No-See-Um Road - Intersection Improvements and Realignment (Chelan) K (CW Revenue Package) Previously reported: The current cost estimate increased by $1.2 million, to $7.7 million. Initially, the project was increased by $878,000 to install water and sewer infrastructure and miscellaneous items associated with the pedestrian facilities on a roundabout for the City of Chelan. The project also increased by an additional $280,000 due to high bids. The additional funding was provided by the City of Chelan. There are two budget risks (right-of-way and construction) that are being managed by WSDOT on this project. This project has one outstanding right-of-way acquisition that is currently in condemnation with the Attorney General s Office. In addition, there are contractor claims that are in negotiations. Update to the August 2017 report: The right-of-way acquisition has been completed. The one outstanding right-of-way parcel has been acquired and the project remains on budget. There remains only one outstanding budget risk on this project for contractor claims. These contractor claims are currently in negotiations. SR 167/SR 410 to SR 18 - Congestion Management (King, Pierce) C Previously reported: Correcting fish barriers is a priority for WSDOT. Agency policy is to review and assess all transportation projects for fish barriers within the vicinity of project limits, and apply criteria to determine if the fish barrier will be included in the project. As a result, the existing fish barrier that is located under all lanes of SR 167 was assessed and added to the project. The additional work increased the project's cost estimate by $9.2 million to $29,198,814. This work can be accomplished within the project's original preliminary engineering schedule and is on track to be advertised in winter However, this work will extend the construction duration by one year and will be operationally complete fall October 2018

10 I-205 and I-5 Pavement Rehabilitation (Clark) C Previously reported: This project was combined for construction efficiencies with the I- 5/I-205 Urban Ramp Meter project, and was advertised in February The department only received one bidder. The bid item costs for the urban ramp meter work were double the engineer's estimate and significantly exceeded the funding for that project. WSDOT decided to re-advertise the panel rehabilitation project as a standalone project in winter 2019, which will delay the construction season by one year to 2019 and the operationally complete date by one year to fall SR 290/Spokane River E Trent Br - Replace Bridge (Spokane) D Previously reported: This section of SR 290 has changed, based on recent development and transportation improvements within the City of Spokane in this area. During the design process and through practical design, it was determined that the need was for a two-lane structure with bike lanes and a widened sidewalk on the south side, to connect with trails and still fit within the same footprint. The project s [estimated 1 ] cost increase[d by] $964,000 is mainly due to the addition of new design elements that include a westbound, double left-turn lane at the intersection of SR 290 and Hamilton Street, instead of at the bridge. This change also incorporates a shared use path and bicycle lanes across the SR 290 East Trent River Bridge, which will create more space and opportunity for other modes. The new work on the double left-turn lane includes associated signal modification, pavement replacement, striping modifications at this intersection, and additional striping to the west to tie into existing bike lanes. SR 518/42nd Ave S and I-5/I-405 Bridges - Seismic Retrofit (King) G Previously reported: Originally, the project included seismic retrofit measures, including the installation of steel column jackets on all columns, crossbeam bolsters on all cross beams, and reinforcement at the bridge abutment. After receiving a seismic vulnerability bridge assessment, WSDOT updated the seismic retrofit recommendations for the 1 Wording in [ ] brackets was corrected and added for the October 2018 edition of the Watch List. 10 October 2018

11 bridge on I-405. As a result, the engineer's estimate has increased the project cost estimate by $2.6 million, to $5.9 million. Update to the July 2018 report: The project's estimated cost has further increased by $1.2 million, to $7.1 million, and reflects minor bid item and quantity cost adjustments prior to a fall 2018 advertisement. 11 October 2018
