INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE
Washington Traffic Safety Commission
AND
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, hereinafter
referred to as “WTSC,” and __________________________________, hereinafter referred to as “SUB-RECIPIENT.”
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the authority provided to WTSC in RCW 43.59 and RCW 39.34, terms, conditions,
covenants, and performance contained herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the parties mutually
agree as follows:
1.PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT:
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT)
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the Assistance Listings Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 20.600 for traffic safety grant project _______________________________________,
specifically to provide funding for the law enforcement agencies in WTSC Region ____ to conduct straight time or overtime
enforcement activities (traffic safety emphasis patrols) as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW), in support of Target Zero
priorities. The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with the
SUB-RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic crashes.
Grant _______________________________________ was awarded to the WTSC Region ___ to support collaborative
efforts to conduct HVE activities. By signing this agreement, the SUB-RECIPIENT can seek reimbursement for straight time
or overtime for approved law enforcement activity expenses incurred as a participant in the region’s HVE grant.
2.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both parties, but not earlier than
October 1, 2024, and remain in effect until September 30, 2025 unless terminated sooner, as provided herein.
3.SCOPE OF WORK
3.1.1 Problem ID and/or Opportunity
The main causes of serious injury and fatality collisions on Washington’s roadways are driver impairment through drug and/or
alcohol use, speeding, occupant restraint mis/nonuse, and distraction. Fatalities have increased almost 40 percent since
2019. Despite a very high seat belt use rate (greater than 90% for many years in a row), the number of unrestrained fatalities

and serious injuries have increased to the highest number since before 2010. Since 2019, unrestrained fatalities have
increased over 40 percent Motorcyclists also represent a high number of injured and killed because of unsafe and poorly
trained riders and the challenges vehicle drivers face in observing motorcycles on the road.
Washington has seen a drastic decrease in proactive enforcement of traffic laws. This decrease is due to a myriad of factors,
include the COVID-19 pandemic, political actions to update laws that reduce an officer’s ability to stop drivers,
This project will fund locally coordinated enforcement mobilizations to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt
safety, speeding, and motorcycle safety. Funding and events will be organized by local Target Zero Managers (TZMs) & the
statewide Law Enforcement Liaison networks and their local Target Zero Task Force. These patrols will also be coordinated
with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP
district personnel to improve interagency coordination.
3.1.2 Project Purpose and Strategies
This project will fund High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols to prevent
impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding, and motorcycle safety.
High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols are designed to create deterrence
by increasing the expectation of a citation/fine/arrest. Officers may also remove high risk (impaired) drivers when
encountered. So together, this countermeasure works by preventing dangerous driving behaviors and stopping those who still
decide to engage in those behaviors.
Funding and events will be organized by local TZMs, LELs, and their local Target Zero Task Force. Task forces will use local
data and professional judgement to determine enforcement priorities for their jurisdictions and will schedule and plan
enforcement and outreach activities. Regional participation in the following National Campaigns is mandatory:
•Impaired driving enforcement during the Holiday DUI campaign (December 2024).
•Distracted driving enforcement during the Distracted Driving campaign (April 2025)
•Seat belt enforcement during the Click It or Ticket campaign (May 2025).
•Impaired driving enforcement during the Summer DUI campaign (August 2025).
These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or
strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel to improve interagency coordination with the WSP.
3.1.3 Requirements for National Mobilizations and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP)
1.HVE events will be data informed; based on crash data, anecdotal evidence, and the professional judgement of task
force members. WTSC strongly believes in the expertise of local officers to understand the highest priority areas in
their communities to focus their efforts.
2.The SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure that all officers participating in these patrols are BAC certified and have received
and passed the SFST refresher training.
3.SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure all officers participating in Impaired Driving patrols have also received Advanced
Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training.
4.SUB-RECIPIENT shall ensure all participating personnel will use the WEMS system provided by the WTSC to record
all activities in digital activity logs conducted by their commissioned officers pursuant to the HVE events. Participating
officers will fill out all applicable fields of the digital activity log and use the comments field to provide details on
irregularities, challenges or other details that would help explain what was encountered during their shift. SUB-
RECIPIENT will also ensure all supervisors and fiscal staff have the ability to review and edit those activity logs.
page 3 of 16
5.Activity conducted outside of the quarterly task force operational plans will not be reimbursed.
3.1.4 Project Intent and Best Practice
1.SUB-RECIPIENT is encouraged to help their Region Task Force fulfill the requirement to participate in the four
mandatory National Campaigns. (Holiday DUI campaign in December 2024, Distracted Driving campaign in April 2025,
Click It or Ticket campaign in May 2025, and Summer DUI campaign in August 2025).
NOTE: Agencies must participate in speed or impaired driving enforcement under this agreement to be eligible to
receive funding under the WASPC equipment grant.
2.SUB-RECIPIENT is strongly encouraged to participate in their task force to plan and execute enforcement events.
3.Regional task force will be submitting quarterly operational plans and SUB-RECIPIENT is encouraged to participate to
the fullest extent possible. Quarterly operational plans are due October 15, December 15, March 15, and June 15.
4.WTSC encourages participating officers to prioritize violations that directly contribute to the injury and death of road
users, such as impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, non-restraint, etc.
5.SUB-RECIPIENT should promote patrol events through all earned, owned and, if funded, paid media that is available
so that the public is made aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It is best practice
to translate messages as needed and invite local media involvement in the effort to reach communities in which HVE
will occur.
6.SUB-RECIPIENT should strive to actively enforce traffic safety laws focused on collision causing behaviors in priority
areas throughout the year outside of HVE events.
7.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of all
motor vehicles interacting with motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yield to a motorcycle, following too
closely to a motorcycle, distracted driving, etc.
8.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should ensure that enforcement will focus on the illegal and
unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious and fatal crashes. This includes impaired
driving, speeding, and following too closely.
9.Performance will be monitored by the regional TZM, LEL, and Task Force, as well as WTSC. WTSC reserves the right
to designate specific officers as ineligible for cost reimbursement. This will occur if an officer is determined to not have
not met the purpose/intent of this grant in multiple emphasis patrols.
10.Funds can be used to support the mentoring of officers in traffic enforcement. This can be focused on impaired
driving, or general traffic enforcement.
For DUI mentorship, WTSC has found it to be best practice to include a mix of instruction and practical experience.
The mentor should be a DRE when possible, or a highly effective DUI emphasis patrol officer with a minimum of
ARIDE training. Mentor/mentee activities will be pre-approved by the TZM or LEL after the mentee submits their
interest.
11.Community outreach/collaboration: Funds can be used to pay for traffic safety focused community outreach and
collaboration activities. The operational approach for regional community outreach and collaboration activities should
be developed at the Task Force level and be approved by the WTSC. WTSC recommends that these activities include
an opportunity for the audience to provide feedback on local traffic safety priorities and activities, which ideally will
influence the region's plan for traffic safety programming.
page 4 of 16
In order to receive funding from this grant, agencies must participate with the regional traffic safety task force/coalition
in the planning efforts for these activities.
WTSC also encourages all law enforcement agencies in Washington to utilize WTSC's data analysis resources, such
as interactive dashboards and data from a statewide attitudinal survey, as well their regional Target Zero Manager to
identify priorities for engaging with the community.
WTSC will provide tools for documenting community collaboration activities, such as the WEMS activity log.
3.1.5 NATIONAL AND STATE-WIDE MOBILIZATIONS
Not all agencies are required to participate in all of these, however the region has committed to participate as a region in all of
these. Dates are tentative and may change when NHTSA publishes their FFY2025 mobilization calendar.

United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be
inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that
inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use
federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the WTSC must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis
and justification, and which is approved by the Secretary of Transportation.
33.DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
Instructions for Lower Tier Certification
33.1. By signing this Agreement, the SUB-RECIPIENT (hereinafter in this section referred to as the “lower tier
participant”) is providing the certification set out below and agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 CFR part 180
and 23 CFR part 1200.
33.2. The certification in this section is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction
was entered into. If it is later determined that the lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated
may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
33.3. The lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the WTSC if at any time the lower tier participant
learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
33.4. The terms covered transaction, civil judgement, debarment, suspension, ineligible, participant, person, principal, and
voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR parts 180 and 1200.

covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred,
suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized
by WTSC.
33.6. The lower tier participant further agrees by signing this Agreement that it will include the clause titled “Instructions for

responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered
transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any prospective lower tier participants, each
participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management Exclusions website (https://www.sam.gov/).

render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required
to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
33.9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 33.5. of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction
knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9,
subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other
remedies available to the Federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue
available remedies, including suspension or debarment.

written change order request to an authorized agent of the City within fourteen (14)
calendar days of the date Vendor knew or should have known of the facts and events giving

Page 3 of 10
Goods and Services Agreement - BFD 2024 FIRE AND RESCUE BOAT
adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to agree, the City will determine the

require a change order within the time allowed, the Vendor waives its right to make any
claim or submit subsequent change order requests for that portion of the contract work. If

A. Procedure and Protest by the Vendor. If the Vendor disagrees with anything
required by a change order, another written order, or an oral order from the City,
including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination by the City, the
Vendor shall:
1. Immediately give a signed written notice of protest to the City;
2. Supplement the written protest within fourteen (14) calendar days with a
written statement that provides the following information:

result of the protested work. The City shall have access to any of the Vendor's
records needed for evaluating the protest. The City will evaluate all protests,
provided the procedures in this section are followed. If the City determines
that a protest is valid, the City will adjust payment for work or time by an
equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
B. Vendor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any protest, the Vendor shall
proceed promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City
under this Agreement.
C. Vendor's Acceptance of Changes. The Vendor accepts all requirements of a change
order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate acceptance, or (3) not protesting in
the way this section provides. A change order that is accepted by Vendor as
provided in this section shall constitute full payment and final settlement of all
claims for contract time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including
costs of delays related to any work, either covered or affected by the change.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides, the
Vendor also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City any
written or oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
Page 4 of 10
Goods and Services Agreement - BFD 2024 FIRE AND RESCUE BOAT
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the

work and accepts from the City any written or oral order (including directions,
instructions, interpretations, and determination).
VII. CLAIMS.
The Vendor shall give written notice to the City of all claims other than change orders within
fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claims. Any claim for
damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this Agreement
or otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the Vendor unless a timely
written claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; or, if
(and only if) no such provision is applicable, unless that claim is set forth in detail in writing and
received by the City within seven (7) calendar days from the date Vendor knew, or should have
known, of the facts giving rise to the claim. At a minimum, a Vendor's written claim must include
the information set forth regarding protests in Section VI(A)(2)(a)-(e).
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM WITHIN THE TIME
ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THE
FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM OR CAUSED BY THAT DELAY.
Vendor must, in any event, file any claim or bring any suit arising from or connected with this
Agreement within 120 calendar days from the date the contract work is complete.
VIII. WARRANTY. The Vendor shall correct all defects in workmanship and materials within one
year from the date of the City's acceptance of the contract work. When defects are corrected, the
warranty for that portion of the work shall extend for one year from the date such correction is
completed and accepted by the City. The Vendor shall begin to correct any defects within seven (7)
calendar days of its receipt of notice from the City of the defect. If the Vendor does not accomplish
the corrections within a reasonable time, the City may complete the corrections, and the Vendor
shall pay all costs incurred by the City in order to accomplish the correction.
IX. INDEMNIFICATION. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officers, officials,
employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or
suits, including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Vendor’s obligation to indemnify shall not extend to that portion of
damages caused by the City’s sole negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of Vendor's work when completed shall not be grounds
to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW 4.24.115,
then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to
property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Vendor and the City, its
officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers, the Vendor's liability hereunder shall be only to
the extent of the Vendor's negligence.

Public Comments
Hello and good evening City Council,City Staff and members of the public my name is Felipe
Gamboa,I am a Community Impact Specialist at Upwards the nation’s largest childcare
network.Together we have the opportunity to form a partnership and bring positive change into
the community.As a single working dad of two beautiful girls I know first hand the extreme
difficulty in not only finding childcare,but finding good quality and affordable childcare.We could
spend hours and hours listening to families who face the same struggles.Accessible and
high-quality childcare should not be a privilege but rather a fundamental necessity for everyone
in the community.The current childcare ecosystem often falls short,placing undue stress on
families,especially those with limited resources…..We have to make positive changes and
work together to find better solutions.Thousands of families are struggling to maintain stable
employment,dual income households,stable housing and other quality of life needs as a result
of lack of accessible childcare in the community.As you know,childcare can be a significant
barrier to entry into the workforce,especially for women.Many working parents struggle to
balance their job responsibilities with the demands of caring for their children and in the
absence of affordable and quality care options,many parents are often forced to choose
between working and staying home.
Our BOOST Program will support local microenterprise childcare providers in running
sustainable operations and expanding childcare capacity for families who need it most.On day
one of the program,participants will receive an entire marketing campaign created for them,
eliminating hours of administrative work through our robust matching algorithm to support family
matching,curriculum development and planning services that support higher quality care in the
City,accurate digital attendance and enrollment automation,and even scheduling management
that supports rate stabilization and more affordable childcare options.Supporting childcare
providers in our community is essential to fostering a robust and resilient society.These
providers play a crucial role in the development and well-being of our children,offering safe,
nurturing environments that contribute to their early learning and socialization.By investing in
childcare services,we not only support working families but also stimulate economic growth,as
parents can participate more fully in the workforce.Ensuring that childcare providers have the
resources,training,and support they need helps to maintain high standards of care and
education,benefiting our children and the community as a whole.Our commitment to supporting
these essential services underscores our dedication to building a stronger,more equitable future
for all residents
I urge the Council to consider the profound impact of the BOOST Program on our community's
early childhood education landscape.By investing in this initiative,we not only build a greater
capacity for childcare throughout the community,but also support child care providers and lay
the foundation for a brighter future for our children and families.I appreciate your attention to
this critical issue and look forward to working with Bremerton.Thank you.

SUMMARY
As part of the ongoing 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update, this discussion is intended to gather f eedback
from the City Council on the Environment Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This Memo contains
resources documenting review of the Environment Element that has occurred thus far. A presentation
providing a full overview will be provided at the meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan update is required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) in
order to demonstrate that Bremerton has the capacity to absorb population and
employment increases forecast to the year 2044. Population estimates indicate that the City will grow to
63,757 persons and 58,258 jobs by 2044; this means the City is forecast to increase its population by over
46%, with a 32% increase in the number of jobs. The Bremerton Comprehensive Plan must conform to
the Washington State Growth Management Act, Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Vision 2050, and
the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council (KRCC) Countywide Planning Policies. More information about
the Bremerton Comprehensive Planning process can be found at Bremerton2044.com . This policy
document is not intended to address specific Critical Area Ordinance or Shoreline Master Program
regulations; these code sections will be updated separately in 2025.

Environment Element of Comp Plan, as presented by DCD to Council, 11/13 and
11/20/2024
Reviewed by Anna Mockler, City Councilor #6, 11/20/2024
Each point is tied to a page number in the presentation, e.g., Vision is page 10. Suggested
actions are in italic.
Brief Summary: The Environment Element does not address the most immediate effect of
the climate crisis – increased severe weather events. More extreme rain, heat, snow, and
even drought. It’s our responsibility to protect Bremertonians from, and mitigate the
impacts of, extreme weather. There’s a lot of good, peer-reviewed evidence out there on
how to do this. Let’s use that research. Government can’t make things perfect; it can make
them better.
1. Vision (p.10): Replace with KRCC definition, below. Damage has been done.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased 16% from 2015 to 2019, per the
County’s GHG Report in 2020. 17% of that increase came from tree loss.[1]
“NE-3: Conserve and enhance natural resources, critical areas, water
quality/quantity, and environmental amenities while planning for and
accommodating sustainable growth.”
Replace current Vision with KRCC definition.
2. KCCGGGE Analysis (8/2022) (p.12)
These stats use 2100 as the only target year. This denies climate crisis’s
impact right now. Studies cited in this presentation use 2030 and 2050 as
most common forecast dates.
The study that the data appears to be from, the 2020 Kitsap County Climate
Resiliency Study (KCCRS), summarizes sealevel rise on p.28 by comparing
2030, 2050, and 2100 under high- and low-emission scenarios.
We need a full picture of how emissions have risen, what has helped reduce
them, how we can help mitigate climate crisis effects on Bremertonians.
Much of this data is available in the KCCRS.
3. KRCC NE-8, p.16. Bremerton should take the lead, as it did with single-use
plastics. Change “Consider” to “Develop”.
4. Shoreline Master Program, p.22. We’ve had these goals for a long time.
Please give us an assessment of how well they’ve succeeded since the last
Comp Plan.
How did the 2021 amendment, allowing rebuilding to existing footprint,
regardless of height or nearness to critical shoreline processes, serve to
protect our shorelines of statewide significance?
Please update us about the work the City has done to provide opportunities
for the general public to have access to enjoying shorelines.
Where are the separate maps included in the SMP?
5. Maps, p.23-to end.
Can’t see central Bremerton well on any of these maps. Are there larger or
interactive maps somewhere? At this scale, there are no wetlands in central
Bremerton, no frequently-flooded areas, etc.
Where are these maps from? When are they from?
Who supplied the definitions of text to the left of each map? KRCC?
6. Watercourses Map.
“Species of local importance” are mentioned as an option. How is this
option exercised?
7. Frequently Flooded Areas Map
Only visible 100-yr flood plain at this scale is near Gorst.
8. Geologically Hazardous Areas Map
Both the KCCGGGE (2022) and the KCCRS (2020) discuss the increased risk
of landslides with the increase of extreme rain events. Major landslides this
year in Alaska – with no historic precedent -- are just one result of extreme
events resulting from climate crisis.
Make sure we’re using most up to date geologic research before issuing land
use permits on slopes. Our climate has changed dramatically.
9. Priority Habitat & Species Map
Make sure we’re consistent with Kitsap County, which has reportedly revised
Priority Habitat & Species to include beaver habitat, e.g., Pendergast’s
beaver/otter wetland. Final draft hasn’t come out yet.
10. Tree Canopy Inventory Map
Canopy is what you look up at, not what you look out at. Central Bremerton
has very very little canopy.
For equity’s sake, provide central Bremerton – especially low-income
neighborhoods – with real shade trees. Plant them along streets, in parks, in
parking lots, in public areas. Post 3-5 year bonds on contractors who install,
to ensure they live.
“Consider vegetation selection” is not a strong mandate. Our BMC 20.50,
our PROS plan, and others, all call for focus on native vegetation.
Replace with “Plant native or nearby trees with maximum heights >40 feet".

Anderson Creek Dam Removals
This summer, the City removed
two decommissioned dams on
the east and west forks of
Anderson Creek in coordination
with the Suquamish Tribe.
•The dams have been in place
for more than a century and
have been a barrier to salmon
spawning
•Dam removal has restored
access to 1.2 miles of salmon
spawning habitat
•The in-water work was
completed in September, 1
month ahead of the fish
window closure in plenty of
time for this year’s returning
salmon runs.
