Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Councilors, as you discuss developing a legislative agenda, I would ask that you include the Mayor's top 3 priorities listed below. Kitsap Lake funding – seeking $311,000 in the 2025-2027 Capital Budget. The requested amount will go towards completing the upland portion of the park, including the ADA pathways, picnic shelter overlooking the lake, and accessible children’s playground. A one-page overview is attached to this e-mail. Ensuring Warren Ave Bridge funding remains in the current funding cycle of $15M in the 2025-27 and $10M in the 2027-29 budget cycles. If there is a new transportation revenue package, seek additional support for bridge projects that tie into the bridge improvements. The Gorst Corridor project needs to stay in its current funding cycles and if there is a new transportation revenue package, seek additional funds for this project. This project will need significant funding beyond the initial $75M that has been allocated. BMcConsulting bryan@bmcconsulting.net (206) 953-6026 9A Kitsap Lake Park Renovation Project ASK: $311,000 in the 2025-2027 Capital Budget. The requested amount will go towards completing the upland portion of the park, including the ADA pathways, picnic shelter overlooking the lake, and accessible children’s playground. Background: A dilapidated flshing dock and deteriorating boat launch will be replaced under a $1.6 million facelift planned for Kitsap Lake Park. Other improvements to the park will include upgrades to the restroom, seating improvements along the lake, improvements in parkways and pathways that will make the park more accessible to people with disabilities, a new picnic shelter. Beyond the launch, the flshing dock, pathways, restroom facilities and parking will also be ADA-accessible, enabling the Heroes on the Water program to continue to allow disabled veterans to enjoy water sports at the lake. The new flshing dock will be flsh-friendly — slatted to provide sunlight to the water's surface — and include structural improvements to ensure safe public access. Fishermen take to the lake year-round, and more than 50 boats a day use the launch during the peak of the season for a variety of water activities. Previous State Support: Bremerton was awarded a $438,000 Washington’s Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), via its “aquatic lands enhancement account.” The 2022 Capital Budget included $258,000 in the Local Projects account. The RCO Boating Facility Program Grant awarded the project $556,200. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The work to be completed under this Contract provides for the improvement of Kitsap Lake Park which is divided into the following six schedules: Schedule A.1 – Demolition, earthwork, curbing, concrete walkways, concrete slabs, block walls, asphalt pavement, striping, signing, steel piles, flshing fioat, prefabricated flxed pier and gangway, and outdoor shower. Schedule A.2 – Demolition, earthwork, inflltration trench, concrete walkways, concrete slabs, asphalt pavement, striping, signing, and pre-engineered owner provided picnic shelter.

All work shall be performed in accordance with the Contract Plans, these Contract Provisions, and the Standard Speciflcations. Total cost of the project: $2,015,704 From: To: Subject: Date: Anna Mockler City Council FW: December 4 - Suggested Legislative Priorities (Anna Mockler) Wednesday, December 4, 2024 9:34:13 AM Please distribute to all Council. From Anna Mockler: I don't know what associated costs are for the first two items. If Council decides they're worth pursuing, I recommend we discuss with our community partners. 1.50-bed chemical detox facility on Kitsap Peninsula. There is none now —a handful of beds at St Michael's with St Michael's restrictions. We need someplace to take people who want to get clean right away. You have to seize the moment. This is something that Jeff and I lobbied for last year. 2.100 beds for mental health treatment on Kitsap Peninsula. Bremerton has more than its share of need for short-term and long-term mental health beds and treatment. It would really help us out if the state stepped up to fill this gap. We have many non-profit buildings in our city, which don't pay property taxes, making us even less able to provide money to help. 3.Triple the monetary cap on in-house capital projects so we can do more in- house. The grading at Lulu Haddon, for example, could've been done by Public Works —except the cap is in place. Guidance from emails with Dirs. Riley and Knuckey, is that amending RCW 35.22.620(3) would be fiscally conservative, as contracts usually run us three times or more of what it would cost to do capital projects ourselves. Plus the people who do the work are more likely to be around if anything goes wrong down the line, e.g., potholes develop, etc. Therefore, I propose we lobby to raise the cap from $75K to $225K for single- craft, and from $150K to $450K for multiple craft. https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rCW/default.aspx?cite=35.22&full=true#35.22.620 Yours, Anna Anna Mockler City Councilor, District Six 2024 Council Vice-President Audit Committee Chair RCW 35.22.620 Public works or improvements—Limitations on work by public employees—Small works roster—Purchase of reused or recycled materials or products. (1) As used in this section, the term "public works" means as defined in RCW 39.04.010. (2) A first-class city may have public works performed by contract pursuant to public notice and call for competitive bids. As limited by subsection (3) of this section, a first-class city may have public works performed by city employees in any annual or biennial budget period equal to a dollar value not exceeding 10 percent of the public works construction budget, including any amount in a supplemental public works construction budget, over the budget period. The amount of public works that a first-class city has a county perform for it under RCW 35.77.020 shall be included within this 10 percent limitation. If a first-class city has public works performed by public employees in any budget period that are in excess of this 10 percent limitation, the amount in excess of the permitted amount shall be reduced from the otherwise permitted amount of public works that may be performed by public employees for that city in its next budget period. Twenty percent of the motor vehicle fuel tax distributions to that city shall be withheld if two years after the year in which the excess amount of work occurred, the city has failed to so reduce the amount of public works that it has performed by public employees. The amount so withheld shall be distributed to the city when it has demonstrated in its reports to the state auditor that the amount of public works it has performed by public employees has been so reduced. Whenever a first-class city has had public works performed in any budget period up to the maximum permitted amount for that budget period, all remaining public works within that budget period shall be done by contract pursuant to public notice and call for competitive bids. The state auditor shall report to the state treasurer any first-class city that exceeds this amount and the extent to which the city has or has not reduced the amount of public works it has performed by public employees in subsequent years. (3) In addition to the percentage limitation provided in subsection (2) of this section, a first-class city shall not have public employees perform a public works project in excess of $150,000 if more than a single craft or trade is involved with the public works project, or a public works project in excess of $75,500 if only a single craft or trade is involved with the public works project or the public works project is street signalization or street lighting. A public works project means a complete project. The restrictions in this subsection do not permit the division of the project into units of work or classes of work to avoid the restriction on work that may be performed by day labor on a single project. However, a first-class city may have its own regularly employed personnel perform work which is an accepted industry practice under prudent utility management without a contract. For purposes of this section, "prudent utility management" means performing work with regularly employed personnel utilizing material of a worth not exceeding $300,000 in value without a contract. This limit on the value of material being utilized in work being performed by regularly employed personnel shall not include the value of individual items of equipment.

(4) In addition to the accounting and recordkeeping requirements contained in RCW 39.04.070, every first-class city annually may prepare a report for the state auditor indicating the total public works construction budget and supplemental public works construction budget for that year, the total construction costs of public works performed by public employees for that year, and the amount of public works that is performed by public employees above or below 10 percent of the total construction budget. However, if a city budgets on a biennial basis, this annual report may indicate the amount of public works that is performed by public employees within the current biennial period that is above or below 10 percent of the total biennial construction budget. Each first-class city with a population of 150,000 or less shall use the form required by RCW 43.09.205 to account and record costs of public works in excess of $5,000 that are not let by contract. (5) The cost of a separate public works project shall be the costs of materials, supplies, equipment, and labor on the construction of that project. The value of the public works budget shall be the value of all the separate public works projects within the budget. (6) The competitive bidding requirements of this section may be waived by the city legislative authority pursuant to RCW 39.04.280 if an exemption contained within that section applies to the work or contract. (7) In lieu of the procedures of subsections (2) and (6) of this section, a first-class city may let contracts using the small works roster process in RCW 39.04.151 through 39.04.154. Whenever possible, the city shall invite at least one proposal from a certified minority or woman contractor who shall otherwise qualify under this section. (8) The allocation of public works projects to be performed by city employees shall not be subject to a collective bargaining agreement. (9) This section does not apply to performance-based contracts, as defined in RCW 39.35A.020(6), that are negotiated under chapter 39.35A RCW. (10) Nothing in this section shall prohibit any first-class city from allowing for preferential purchase of products made from recycled materials or products that may be recycled or reused. (11)(a) Any first-class city may procure public works with a unit priced contract under this section for the purpose of completing anticipated types of work based on hourly rates or unit pricing for one or more categories of work or trades. (b) For the purposes of this section, "unit priced contract" means a competitively bid contract in which public works are anticipated on a recurring basis to meet the business or operational needs of the city, under which the contractor agrees to a fixed period indefinite quantity delivery of work, at a defined unit price for each category of work. (c) Unit priced contracts must be executed for an initial contract term not to exceed three years, with the city having the option of extending or renewing the unit priced contract for one additional year. (d) Invitations for unit price bids shall include, for purposes of the bid evaluation, estimated quantities of the anticipated types of work or trades, and specify how the city will issue or release work Certified on 7/12/2024 RCW 35.22.620 Page 2 assignments, work orders, or task authorizations pursuant to a unit priced contract for projects, tasks, or other work based on the hourly rates or unit prices bid by the contractor. Contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder as per RCW 39.04.010. Whenever possible, the city must invite at least one proposal from a certified minority or woman contractor who otherwise qualifies under this section. (e) Unit price contractors shall pay prevailing wages for all work that would otherwise be subject to the requirements of chapter 39.12 RCW. Prevailing wages for all work performed pursuant to each work order must be the prevailing wage rates in effect at the beginning date for each contract year. Unit priced contracts must have prevailing wage rates updated annually. Intents and affidavits for prevailing wages paid must be submitted annually for all work completed within the previous 12-month period of the unit priced contract. (12) For the purposes of this section, "lowest responsible bidder" means a bid that meets the criteria under RCW 39.04.350 and has the lowest bid; provided, that if the city issues a written finding that the lowest bidder has delivered a project to the city within the last three years which was late, over budget, or did not meet specifications, and the city does not find in writing that such bidder has shown how they would improve performance to be likely to meet project specifications then the city may choose the second lowest bidder whose bid is within five percent of the lowest bid and meets the same criteria as the lowest bidder.
