Vantage Highway Pavement and Guardrail Replacement (MP 21.25 lo27.SLl
KPG Project No.2OO47
October 23,2020
lntroduction and Background
Existing pavement conditions along Vantage Highway (MP 21.25 to MP 27.5L1have deteriorated
and requires structural reinforcing. The subgrade is also suspected of having been damaged by
significantly heavy loads. The project overlay will result in the need to replace the existing
guardrail to meet standards. The project is funded by federal, state and local funds. Federal
funding is provided by the Highway Safety lmprovement Program (HSIP)and is designated
specifically for guardrail improvements. State funding is provided by the County Road
Administration Board (CRAB), and the project has been assigned a mandatory 2% UDBE goal.
The County has selected KPG, P.S. (KPGlto lead project permitting, develop a complete project
design, produce bid document plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate, provide bidding
support, and provide limited construction support.
Project Description
Vantage Highway from MP 21.25 to MP 27.5L (approximate western end of WB passing lane to
Vantage City Limits) is anticipated to be repaired and improved with a fiber reinforced asphalt
concrete overlay. The additional roadway thickness from the overlay will require new guardrail to
meet minimum height standards. The road's vertical and horizontal alignment is not expected to
be altered. Shoulder widening is not anticipated except as/if needed to meet current guardrail
standards. Vantage Highway within the project limits is classified as a County Rural Collector with
an ADT of 586 with 47% trucks.
The County has performed a lidar survey of the project extents and has provided to KPG for use in
design. The survey is adequate for the overlay and guardrail project design but has not been
corrected to vertical datum values. No further adjustment to the survey data is anticipated.
Existing utilities within the roadway corridor have not been located by the utility owners or
included in the project survey. Utilities are expected to include underground cable and fiber
owned by Consolidated Communications. Overhead power is within the roadway corridor but is
beyond the edge of pavement and is not anticipated to impact the project. There are no utility
relocations and minimal coordination with the utility owners expected for project.
The project consists of pavement design for the overlay using fiber reinforced asphalt concrete,
guardrail design to current WSDOT design guidelines, supporting geotechnical investigation,
cultural assessment and NEPA permitting.

new overlay, possibly following shallow grinding. Full guardrail replacement will also be
performed. Storm water management is not anticipated at this time. The project area covers
approximately 7 acres and lies in Section 19 of Township 17 North, Range 23East, and Sections 17,
'J.8,'1,9,20,2'1.,22,23, and24 of Township 17 North, Range 22East, Willamette Meridian.
This project will be federally funded and administered by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). As such, potential impacts to cultural resources must be considered as per Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
This cultural resource investigation will include a review of the Washington Information System
for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD) database maintained by the
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) in Olympia, a background
literature review, informal contact with the interested tribe(s), a pedestrian ground survey, and
the preparation of a report. The fieldwork will be completed in a manner consistent with RCW
27.53.030, and will include inspection techniques to identify both surface and subsurface
archaeological resources. The proper field methods will be completed, at the archaeologists
discretion, depending upon information obtained during the background review and fieldwork.
An unmanned aerial vehicle may be deployed for project mapping. Subsurface inspections could
involve shovel excavations, or mechanical auger excavations, and screening of the fill to identify
the nature and extent of any potential archaeological resources.
1. This agreement is for a cultural resource investigation of the areas to be impacted during the
proposed Vantage Highway Reconstruction Project, Kittitas County, Washington. The purpose
of the investigation is to identify any cultural resources which may be adversely affected by
the project.
1..1. The area of potential effect to be investigated is the physical location of the proposed
disturbances required by the project.
2 Plateau Archaeological Investigations, LLC (Plateau) will conduct the cultural resource survey.
3 This project will consist of a background search, field investigation of the project area to
identify any cultural resources, research of public documents to help identify potential
traditional cultural properties, and preparation of a report.
3.1 This proposal does not include interviewing tribal elders to help identify possible
Traditional Cultural Properties.

professional archaeological monitoring during excavation activities at project execution or
other additional work; any such additional work, investigation, evaluation, or analysis is not
included in this price proposal.
4.1, This proposal does not include the inventory or formal National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) evaluation of any buildings, bridges, or other structures near the project

Exhibit I
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant has alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the
resolution andlor cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some
material damage due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the
Agency's project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the
potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be
informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer
may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as directly
involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design enor(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurence, the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include all decisions and descriptions
of work, photographs, records of labor, materials, and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
. It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design enor(s). If this is the case,
then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
. It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design enor(s) occurred. If this is the case,
then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlement
with the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced
from the consultant's agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design
error took place. The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a
summary of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement
affects federal reimbursements. No further action is required.
. There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The consultant may
request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal
counsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.
Local Agency A&E Professionsl Semices
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 01/01/2020
Agreement Number
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects, all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to
find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, LP will request assistance from the Attorney General's Office
for legal interpretation. LP will also identify how the alleged enor(s) affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
. If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs to
reflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA, will identify the amount of federal
participation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
. If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration or
by litigation.

Exhibit J
Gonsultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The
following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant's
claim(s) total a $1,000 or lesso it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is
suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the
consultant's claim(s) that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of
the agreement's scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is
the request for consideration of the claim to theAgency's project manager.
The consultant's claim must outline the following:
. Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim
. Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
. Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
. Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with the
additional work; and
. Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency's project manager. The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the
FHWA is participating in the project's funding, forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the
Agency's recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through
the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will
need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant's claim, send a request memo,
including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new
agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement
andlor new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the
final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim
procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.
Local Agency A&E Professional Services
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 01/01/2020

Step 3 Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant's Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
. Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
. Agency's summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim
. Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
. Agency's summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associate
with the additional work;
. Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the consultant's
claim(s);
. Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
. Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency
Documentation
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or Commission
approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal
participation, obtain concuffence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement
of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency
funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final
decision regarding the consultant's claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim(s) and
rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant's Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the
claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit
