None - Consent Calendar Item.
Background and Analysis:
This agreement allows the City to provide street and parking sweeping services to the State Department of Enterprise Services (DES). DES does not currently have the capacity and equipment to perform this function and prefers a partnership with the City to provide these services. Per the scope of services, the City would sweep the streets and parking areas at the Capital Campus and Deschutes Parkway between the 5th Avenue bridge and the “Welcome to the City of Tumwater” sign. The City has performed these services for DES in the past under an expiring agreement.
The City will invoice DES for these services based on an hourly rate as defined in the agreement. The agreement is valid for one year.
Climate Analysis:
The proposed Interlocal Agreement does not have a direct effect on greenhouse gas emissions. It may benefit alternative transportation modes along Deschutes Parkway and Capitol Campus roadways by making bike lanes cleaner, user friendly and safer.
Equity Analysis:
Washington state taxpayers benefit from an efficient use of existing City staff and equipment. Capital Campus and Deschutes Parkway pedestrians and bicyclists benefit from cleaner streets and safer bike facilities. Sweeping these facilities will also reduce pollutant inputs into Capitol Lake and Budd Inlet improving water quality. This will benefit local salmon populations and tribal fisherman that rely on healthy salmon runs.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
Collaboration with the State as the capital city is supported by the community.
Options:
1. Approve a Resolution authorizing an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Olympia and the State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services for street sweeping services at the Capital Campus. The City will continue to assist DES with their street sweeping needs.
2. Modify the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Olympia and the State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services for street sweeping services. This will require the partners to reconsider interlocal agreement language which will delay street sweeping on DES sites by the City.
3. Do not approve the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Olympia and the State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services for street sweeping services. DES would need to find another mechanism to sweep transportation facilities within Olympia.
Financial Impact:
The City will charge DES an hourly rate for City staff time and equipment for services rendered. The City street sweeping program is funded by the stormwater utility.
