CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Study Session Date: March 13, 2024
Acceptance of the Missing Middle Housing
Grant; and Approval of the Interagency
Agreement with the WA State Department of
Commerce
COUNCIL MEETING Date: March 20, 2024

Presenter: G. Jackson
Phone: (360) 473-5289
SUMMARY:
The City of Bremerton requested, and was selected to receive, a $75,000 no-match grant from the
Washington State Department of Commerce.
The grant will help fund two items:
1) Consultant costs for graphic design of the Comprehensive Plan District Digest documents to
increase communication and ease of reading,
2) Assist funding for existing DCD staff to develop regulation updates that would allow for “unit lot
subdivision” (something that is required by State law, it is a subdivision type that is more conducive
to creating Missing Middle Housing than traditional subdivisions). Staff will develop proposed
regulation updates, which will include drafting new code language, conducting public outreach, and
future presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council. These grant funds will offset
General Funding that has already been allocated for DCD staff.
ATTACHMENTS:
$75,000 Grant Agreement with Washington State Department of Commerce
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount):
This is a no-match grant that will be used to offset the General Fund DCD staff expense to prepare a
Comprehensive Plan District Digests and Unit Lot Subdivision code update.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: 3/8/2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Shane Weber, Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Warren Avenue Bridge Alternatives and Funding Gap
This memo has been developed to assist City Council in its discussion of funding a preferred
alternative for the Warren Avenue Bridge Project. As requested by Council, the other feasible
alternatives that are available to the project and the cost savings compared to Alternative X are
included for information.
The Warren Avenue Bridge Feasibility and Alternatives Analysis was recently updated based on
new information provided by WSDOT and the addition of Council’s Alternative X, approved via
Resolution 3363. Based on this new information the following alternatives were evaluated and are
found to be structurally feasible, maintainable, and meet the purpose of the project to provide ADA
accessibility. The total amount of secured funding is $26.5M; $1.5M for design and $25M for
construction. Note that there is $500K in Climate Commitment Act (CCA) Funds secured for the
project in the Legislature’s 2023-2025 Budget. However, the CCA is at risk of being repealed by
Initiative 2117 this fall. If the CCA is not repealed, this funding would be available in January 2025.

Phasing
•The legislature's staggered appropriation of funds naturally leads to project phasing,
adding time to secure additional funding.
•Do 12' East in 2025 -2027, 8' West in 2027 -2029, and apply for grants in -between.
•We'd have $17M for 2025–2027. ($2M engineering + $15M construction).
•What is the cost to complete 12' East side in 2025 –2027?
Rough Estimate:
•100% of Engineering cost: $2.3 million
•60% of Construction cost: $11.4 million
•60% of Management and Inspection cost: $1.7 million
•Total: $15.4M (leaves $1.6M for contingency and/or UBIT if needed.)
More Detailed:
•Many construction items not needed at all until Phase 2 (see next slide).
•Total: $12.62M (leaves $4.38M for contingency and/or UBIT if needed.)

Possible Funding and Financial Solutions
•WSDOT
•Pedestrian & Bicycle Program (Due May 31)
•Safe Routes to School (Due June 7)
•Project needs to be within 2 miles of a school.
•View Ridge, Armin Jahr, Naval Ave,Bremerton
High, Catalyst are all only 1 mile away or less.
•Surface Transportation Block Grant
•Transportation Alternatives
•PSRC/KRCC Grants
•Modify current asks and/or add new one.
•Apply in next biennium.
•Transportation Improvement Board
•Active Transportation Program
(Open in June)
•Public Works Board
•Very low interest loans available.
•Congressional Appropriations
•Kilmer, Cantwell, Murray just opened.
Possible Cost Reduction – Contingency Funds
•Could reduce budget by $3.2 million.
•$4.1 million of the project budget is contingency (25% of construction cost).
•Since we have flushed out many of the risks and unknowns of this project, why is
such a large contingency still included? Better ways to calculate.
•WSDOT design-bid-build contract contingencies are limited to 4% of the total
contract amount (2023 WSDOT Cost Estimating Manual for Projects).
•A contingency of 5.5% of construction reduces budget by $3.2 million.
Possible Cost Reduction – Shorter Catwalks
•Could reduce budget by $937,000.
•Catwalks are stated as needed for inspection around the deep girders on Piers 6 and 7.
•Budget assumes each outer catwalk spans full 606-foot length of steel bridge segment.
•Aspen Arial's analysis said only 50 feet on each side of Piers 6 and 7 is needed,
but WSDOT instructed to include full length without justification.
•At $770 per foot, only doing 200 feet for each of the 3 catwalks saves $937,860.
Possible Cost Reduction – No Center Catwalk
•Could reduce budget by $466,000.
•Requirement of center catwalk seems to be based on Aspen Arial's analysis of UBIT capability,
assuming girder depth of 15'10" as supplied by WSDOT.
•15'10" is the maximum depth of the girder at the center of Piers 6 and 7, where a UBIT cannot
physically be located for inspection . Any location a UBIT inspects from is away from a Pier and at
a shallower girder depth.
•A more reasonable mid-span girder depth of 12' 9" very likely allows the UBIT to inspect all the
way to the center of the bridge, i.e., no catwalk.
•Using the A -62T from the 8’ West side also seems to show it can reach past the center.
•At $770 per foot, not requiring 606' of center catwalk saves $466,620.
Possible Cost Reduction – Miscellaneous
•$584,000 from leaving existing center concrete traffic barrier if not
required to replace due to reduced catwalk weight, or pay it from future
bridge deck improvement funding.
•$1.34M from leaving existing inner pathway concrete and railing barriers
in-place If not required to replace due to reduced catwalk weight.
•Up to ~$1.0M less by urging WSDOT to follow-through on their offer to perform "an operation review of our inspection program", which will very likely show an A62-T can operate on most of all the same bridges as an A62. City only pays for cost difference at next scheduled replacement.
•Up to $736,528 less on UBIT operational costs if UBIT can be used on other bridges and by other cities.

Subject: RE: WAB Slides
Thank you for your comments Councilor - we understand your proposal to be to move forward with
100% design and permitting of Alternative X, construct the east side of the bridge as one phase and later
construct the west side as a second phase, and pursue additional funds for the west side of the
bridge. You have additional proposals for WSDOT to assume costs of barriers and UBIT operations, plus
proposals to optimize catwalks and reduce contingency.
We reached out to our consultant, WSDOT and our lobbyist regarding the proposal, and while didn’t
receive complete comments, we did receive the following initial response:
Current Budget and Cost (slide 2)
Design and permitting is anticipated to take 2-years, and assuming the preferred alternative is
confirmed soon, we anticipate advertisement in mid-2026 with construction in 2027-2028. This matches
well with the State funding allocation schedule which has $15M programmed for 2025 – 2027 and $10M
programmed for 2027 – 2029.
Our lobbyist indicated that all Transportation Funding is reviewed every legislative session, and our
funding will be reviewed and evaluated every year. He stated that any indication that Bremerton may
not be ready to proceed according to our construction allocation schedule could result in our funding
being delayed. He also noted that added scrutiny and competition for funding will occur if the Climate
Commitment Act repeal initiative is passed in November.
Phasing the Construction of the Project (slide 3)
Phasing the project is not necessary because there is a year overlap between the 2025/2027 and
2027/2029 biennia.
The project can be phased; however, there are significant issues and risks with this approach, as follows:
o Increased design costs (crea�ng mul�ple design packages, limited WSDOT resources,
etc.) This cost has not been quan�fied.
o Increased construc�on costs (lost economies of scale, duplica�on of work, mul�ple
contractor’s mobiliza�on, longer construc�on �me, added cost escala�on for the
second phase, etc.) These costs have not been quan�fied.
o WSDOT has indicated they will require both sides of the bridge to be brought up to ADA
accessibility standards. In preliminary conversa�ons with WSDOT, they may require the
City to provide a funding guarantee for subsequent phases un�l the en�re bridge is
brought up to ADA standards.
o Permits have �me limits and the �ming of the second phase could be subject to
changing permit requirements.
If Council elects to move forward with this approach, staff will need to re-evaluate project delivery
(schedule, costs, resources) and would need to obtain approval from WSDOT.
Possible Funding and Financial Solutions (slide 5)
Staff agree there are programs in place for potential funding; however, there is no guarantee this
project will be selected for funding.
Most of the programs on this slide are federal funding programs. Staff strongly recommends that
Council not federalize the project as the additional administrative requirements would delay the project
and increase the permitting effort. Additionally, the project would be subject to federal funding
requirements (Buy America, Disadvantage Business Enterprise, Davis Bacon Wages, etc.). In our
experience, federalizing a project has been known to increase projects costs on the order of 30%.
Possible Cost Reductions – Contingency Funds (slide 6)
The design completed to date is conceptual, and detailed design will follow. As such, the contingency
was established to cover project elements that are currently unknown. It is the professional
recommendation of the consultant team, including WSDOT, that the contingency be retained at a
minimum of 25% to account for added complexity in the design and construction, as well as to cover
uncertainty in costs associated with permit requirements, bid climate, etc.
The 4% referenced in the slide is what WSDOT calls a “Change Order Contingency” and typically assigns
this to construction for change orders. Note that on a typical WSDOT project, their total contingency
would be on the order of 25% – 30% at this “Scoping Phase” of the project.
Our cost estimates include a single 25% contingency.
Possible Cost Reduction – Catwalks (Slides 5, 7 and 8)
Our structural design consultant, WSDOT structural engineer, and WSDOT structures maintenance have
evaluated inspection requirements, and WSDOT has determined that the catwalks are required as
described in the memo. That said, there is an opportunity to optimize the catwalks during design.
Possible Cost Reduction – Miscellaneous (Slide 10)
The replacement of the center barrier and the edge barriers are a required for the multimodal project,
they’ve been vetted and approved by WSDOT, and are and included in the project. Note that WSDOT
has stated repeatedly that they have no funding to provide to the multimodal project.
WSDOT has been clear that the City is responsible for purchasing the UBIT. This direction has not
changed. WSDOT has indicated the operations costs are likely worst-case scenario, so there could be a
savings, but this is not guaranteed.
