KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />2023 STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: April 24, 2023 <br />TOPIC: American Recovery Plan Act Requested Appropriations <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Direct Staff <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Direct staff. <br />BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br />• Two American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) requested appropriations have been <br />received by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC). <br />• The City of Roslyn desires improving irrigation to the city's cemetery. <br />• KC Parks and Recreation District 1 desires improving the Evergreen Sno-park. <br />• The County received nearly $9.3 million in federal funding from ARPA. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The American Recovery Plan Act provided approximately $9.3 million in funding to <br />Kittitas County. Two requests are now in front of the BoCC for funding consideration <br />the City of Roslyn and Parks and Recreation District 1. The county has previously <br />awarded grants to recipients using a sub -recipient grant contract prepared by the <br />Prosecuting Attorney's Office. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The City of Roslyn request to improve cemetery irrigation is estimated at approximately <br />$257,000. Public Work's review of the provided cost estimate suggests to us that the <br />design fee is likely low at $4,200. Several other estimated items suggest to PW that a <br />grant not exceeding $275,000 is a more appropriate request given grant scope. <br />Our review of submitted documents from Kittitas County Parks and Recreation District 1 <br />(KCP&RDI) rehabilitating failing soil conditions at the Evergreen Sno-park suggest to <br />us, a better cost estimate is required. Providing we know the square footage of <br />parking/park area experiencing settlement, we can provide a cost estimate to the BoCC <br />on likely remedial actions and associated costs stabilizing parking/park areas. We <br />recommend a site visit with PW staff and KCP&RD1 staff to better understand the scope <br />of soil stabilization and desired final product outcomes. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />Public Works "Work Session Staff Report", 2023 <br />
