~ITTIT.A..S COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Mark Cook, Director June 15,2016 TO: Brian Hunter Assistant Local Programs Engineer South Central Regional Office 2809 Rudkin Rd. Union Gap, W A 98903-1648 Mr. Hunter, Following our conversation on June 8th , 2016 regarding the reallocation of Highway Safety Improvements Program (HSIP) funds associated with Westside and Huntzinger Roads, I am providing you with this proposed amendment to the grant application previously submitted in June of2014. The original grant application prioritized approximately $577,000 of the HSIP funds to be used on improvements to Westside Road, and approximately $18,000 on improvements to Huntzinger Road. Once detailed investigations began in order to facilitate the designs, an alternative was identified for the improvements along Westside Road from MP 4.10 to MP 7.29 that will still improve safety but vastly reduce the original cost estimate. Also it has been realized that our scope of Huntzinger Road from MP 0.24 to MP 2.70, which was our number one priority in the original application was grossly under scoped as a signing and delineation project. Kittitas County staff and our Design Consultant have evaluated Huntzinger Road and determined the need for additional guardrail is a high priority. The overall cost savings for the new alternative at Westside Road is projected to be approximately $300,000. Kittitas County would like to amend the grant application and reallocate the aforementioned savings for improvements along Huntzinger Road. We are proposing the deployment of additional guardrail to protect hazardous slopes and water features that are within the milepost limits of the original grant application. A detailed description of the locations and approximate costs for these improvements are detailed below: • MP 0.65 to MP 0.83 $30,000 • MP 0.88 to MP 0.94 $10,000 411 N. Ruby.
