Eligible projects must meet the following criteria: • Deliver an immediate impact by enabling the construction, repair, or enhancement of critical economic development infrastructure. Planning, feasibility studies, or designs for larger projects may be considered. • Be one-time capital investments, though phased funding for larger projects with a defined end state will be evaluated. • Fund capital projects only; operational or service -based requests are ineligible. • Be sponsored by a Kittitas County municipality, with potential benefits extending to districts or nonprofits. • Matching funds (cash or assets) secured or provided by the applicant, are strongly encouraged. • Demonstrate a connection to the Kittitas County Economic Development Strategic Plan (KCEDSP). All applications will be reviewed and recommended by the Kittitas County Conference of Governments (COG), with final approval granted by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). I. Applicant Information (Please fill out below) • Project Title: Ranger Station Road Sidewalk Improvements • Total Request Amount: $250,000 • Applicant Name/Organization: City of Cle Elum • Contact Person: Rob Omans • Phone: (509) 656-4575 • Email: romans@cleelum.gov • Mailinq Address: 119 West First Street, Cle Elum, WA 98922 Please respond to the questions in Sections 11-V/1 in a separate document or presentation and submit with this cover sheet. II. Project Overview 1. Project Description: Provide a detailed description of the infrastructure project, including its purpose, scope, location, and anticipated economic development impact. Explain how the project aligns with the Kittitas County Economic Development Strategic Plan (KCEDSP). Include visuals, plans, or supporting materials if available. The City of Cle Elum proposes to construct ADA-compliant sidewalk, curb and gutter, and curb ramps along the east side of Ranger Station Road between Douglas Munro Boulevard and W. Second Street. All improvements will be constructed within existing City right-of-way, eliminating the need for property acquisition and allowing the project to proceed efficiently. The project will close a critical gap in the City's pedestrian transportation network by connecting existing sidewalks on Douglas Munro Boulevard and W. Second Street multimodal pathway, creating a continuous and accessible route between established residential neighborhoods, the Second Street pathway, the local business district, and downtown Cie Elum. Currently, this segment of Ranger Station Road lacks pedestrian facilities, requiring residents and visitors to walk along the roadway to reach nearby businesses and community destinations. The absence of sidewalks creates safety concerns for pedestrians of all ages and abilities and limits safe access for individuals with disabilities. Constructing a continuous ADA-compliant sidewalk will significantly improve pedestrian safety, accessibility, and mobility while supporting the City's long-term transportation and economic development objectives. The project will improve access to businesses, employment opportunities, public services, and community amenities while strengthening connections between residential and commercial areas. As Cie Elum continues to experience residential and commercial growth, completing this missing pedestrian connection will enhance the City's multimodal transportation system and support a more walkable, connected community. The project directly supports the goals of the Kittitas County Economic Development Strategic Plan by investing in essential public infrastructure that promotes economic resilience, balanced growth, and community investment. Safe and accessible transportation infrastructure enhances quality of life, supports existing businesses, encourages private investment, and improves connectivity throughout the community. By eliminating a significant gap in the pedestrian network, the project creates infrastructure that will benefit residents, businesses, and visitors for decades while supporting continued economic development throughout Cie Elum. The attached vicinity map shows the project location in relation to key community features and recent transportation improvements. 2. Economic Benefit: Describe how the project will foster economic development in the community and/or Kittitas County. Include specific details on its potential to attract or retain businesses, create jobs, and enhance the municipality's appeal to investors. The Ranger Station Road Sidewalk Improvements will provide long-term economic benefits by providing safe and convenient pedestrian access between residential neighborhoods and the local business districts. Approximately 20 commercial properties are located within the business district immediately south of the project corridor and will benefit from improved accessibility and increased pedestrian connectivity. By providing a continuous ADA-compliant pedestrian route, the project will improve access for residents, employees, customers, and visitors who choose to walk or who do not have access to personal vehicles. Enhanced pedestrian access encourages greater interaction between neighborhoods and local businesses while increasing customer visibility for retailers and service providers. Investments in pedestrian infrastructure also improve the overall attractiveness of the community to residents, visitors, and private investment. Walkable communities are increasingly recognized as desirable locations for businesses and housing because they provide safe transportation alternatives, improve quality of life, and strengthen connections between commercial and residential areas. The project will help support continued business retention, encourage future private investment, and enhance the City's ability to accommodate planned growth while maintaining a safe and accessible transportation network. The City's commitment to improving pedestrian accessibility and enhancing the business community demonstrates their strong local support and ensures that County investment will leverage permanent public and private infrastructure improvements with lasting economic benefits. 3. Stakeholders: Identify all stakeholders supporting and/or benefiting from the project, including municipalities, districts, nonprofits, or private entities. The City of Cie Elum is the project sponsor and will own, operate, and maintain the completed improvements. Primary beneficiaries include residents of the neighborhoods north and northwest of the project corridor, commercial property owners, employees, customers, visitors, and individuals with disabilities who rely on accessible pedestrian facilities. Approximately 20 businesses within the adjacent commercial district will benefit from improved pedestrian access and increased connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods. Additional stakeholders include emergency responders, community organizations, and future residential and commercial development that will utilize the completed pedestrian network. By improving access between neighborhoods, businesses, and downtown destinations, the project provides broad community benefits that extend well beyond the immediate project limits. 4. Indicate if the project is consistent with the following applicable State, Regional and Local plans and priority processes (select one): L Capital Facilities Plan — Officially adopted V Comprehensive Plan — Officially adopted June 25, 2019 E Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy — Officially adopted C Economic Development — Officially adopted L Economic Development Strategic Plan — Officially adopted 5.

Budget and Funding: Provide a detailed project budget, including the total cost and a breakdown of expenses by phase and/or major category. Specify which portions or phases the grant will support. The Ranger Station Road Sidewalk Improvements project is estimated to cost a total of $250,000. Preliminary engineering is estimated to cost $21,920 with the remaining $228,080 for construction and construction engineering. The City is applying for the full $250,000 maximum award which would cover the design and construction of the complete project. However, the City is prepared to contribute any additional cost necessary to complete the project. 1. Funding Sources: List all additional funding sources (e.g., grants, private partnerships, in -kind contributions) and their current status (e.g., secured, pending, or proposed). No additional funding sources are currently secured or being sought for this project, although the City is prepared to contribute any additional costs necessary to complete the project. 2. Operations & Maintenance: Outline the plan for ongoing maintenance and operational funding to ensure the infrastructure's long-term sustainability. Upon completion, the sidewalk improvements will become part of the City's existing transportation infrastructure system and will be maintained by the City of Cle Elum Public Works Department using established maintenance programs and operating funds. Routine maintenance will include inspections, snow and debris removal, vegetation management, ADA compliance maintenance, and repair or replacement of damaged concrete as needed. Because the project will be constructed in accordance with current City standards using durable materials, long-term maintenance costs are expected to be minimal while providing decades of service to the community. IV. Project Timeline: Submit a comprehensive timeline detailing the project's current status and key milestones, from initiation through completion. Design plans are anticipated to be completed in spring 2027 with construction slated for summer 2027. Work items will include producing design plans for public works bidding, bidding and securing a construction contractor, and constructing the project.

Feasibility and Risk Management 1. Feasibility: Assess the project's feasibility, including any completed studies, readiness to begin, and likelihood of completion within the proposed timeline. The proposed project is highly feasible and can be completed within the proposed schedule. All improvements will be constructed within existing City right-of-way, eliminating the need for property acquisition and significantly reducing project risk. No major environmental or permitting obstacles are anticipated, and the project consists of straightforward sidewalk, curb, gutter, and ADA ramp construction using well -established engineering and construction practices. The City has successfully completed similar transportation improvement projects and has the technical and administrative capacity to manage design, bidding, construction, and project closeout. The proposed schedule provides sufficient time to complete design, advertise the project for competitive bids, and construct the improvements within the funding period. 2. Risk Management: Identify potential risks (e.g., delays, budget overruns) and propose mitigation strategies to address them. Potential project risks include construction cost escalation, unforeseen site conditions or delays associated with construction. With respect to budget, an 8% contingency was included in the estimate for any unforeseen obstacles and inflation considerations. A. Measurements & Reporting: Describe the metrics and methods you vvill use to evaluate the project's economic impact post -completion. Economic outcomes will be monitored by tracking business license activity, taxable retail sales within the community, and continued commercial investment in the surrounding area. The City will also evaluate increased accessibility to approximately 20 adjacent businesses and document the project's contribution to improving the overall walkability, safety, and attractiveness of Cie Elum's business district. These measures will help demonstrate how strategic investment in public infrastructure supports long-term economic development and community vitality. 1111 Crnrinn• Annlirarinnc will hp crnrad in arcnrdance with the followina criteria: Criteria Points Economic Development Impact: Demonstrates a clear, 20 immediate, and measurable contribution to economic growth, such as attracting new businesses, retaining existing ones, creating jobs, or enhancing the municipality's appeal to investors.
