2.8 NEPA Related Design Modifications Related to US DOT Grant Funding
The original NEPA design and calculations were based on HUD grant requirements and did
not include a net-zero impervious target. On June 1, 2022, the design team was notified that
the design could not include more impervious surface than the existing site. Revisions to the
project included changing all of the sidewalks to pervious pavers, revising the landscaping and
paving around the padmount transformer, and adding a green roof on the fourth floor of the
parking garage.
Scope of work includes revisions to Specifications, Stormwater Drainage report, Pervious
Surface design for sidewalks and paved hardscape, and coordinating the green roof with
structural, plumbing, and landscape. Includes numerous meetings with City staff and their
consultants, analysis, redesign, and resubmittal of documents and forms. Refer to KPFF and
Swift fee amendments. HKP’s time includes coordination of all items, revised specifications,
meetings, and correspondence. An Allowance for Geotechnical review is included for the
review of pervious pavement sections, details, and specifications.

HKP (Architectural) $ 11,680.00
HKP Mark-up on Subs (10%) $ 3,907.50
Total $ 54,662.50
2.9 Padmount Transformer Revisions and Study
The design team started coordinating with Puget Sound Energy early in Schematic Design and
worked through several iterations of placing transformers in vaults to alleviate the lack of
space on site for a pad-mount transformer. Preliminary pad-mount locations did not appear to
work based on vehicle sightlines and screening requirements. PSE confirmed midway in
Contract Documents that they could not approve underground vaults in traffic areas as they did
not have any traffic-rated vaults in their standards. Locations off-site were also extensively
studied as an alternative approach.
The final location in the Right-of-Way at the southwest corner of the site was reworked to
comply with PSE and AHJ requirements, with screening via graphic vinyl wrap as an
approved alternative. This work was not originally foreseeable based on the lack of site area
compared to Owner’s desire for maximum building area program, lack of timely information
from the utility, and inability to use rated vaults used in other jurisdictions.
Includes extra study and design of padmount transformer location, including redesign of
original underground vault proposed locations, coordination with utility provider, City
Planning, engineering, and legal staff. Includes numerous meetings, conceptual designs,
communications with utility, and coordination with civil and electrical. Refer to KPFF and

Re: Contract Supplement Request
Proposed Library/Community Center Property
Parcel ID No. P54139, P54141, P54142, P54147
Mount Vernon, WA
Dear Julie,
Pacific Surveying and Engineering, Inc. (PSE) is pleased to present this scope and fee proposal
for additional land surveying related services on the above referenced project and property.
This proposal is based on our correspondence and knowledge of the site and plans. It is my
understanding that HKP and the design team will require additional mapping and property
entitlement exhibit services for the Library/Community Center and we have prepared this
contract supplement request to cover those out of scope tasks.
Our proposed services have been further detailed below.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Topographic Survey Map Amendment
Our scope and services for this task will include completion of a UAV generated
photogrammetric mapping effort for 2nd Street south of our previous mapping limits. The aerial
photographs will be used to digitize the location of channelization and road features in this area
for additional civil design needs. No additional ground surface modeling will be required for this
task.
In addition, our base map will be revised to update the location of the proposed property
boundary/right of way margin on Kincaid Street. The updated map will be submitted in AutoCAD
and pdf format to the design team for completion of permit and construction documents.
The following deliverables will be included as a part of this task:
• Updated Topographic Survey Map (pdf)
• Updated AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawing and Point Files
• .ecw format orthophoto (2nd Street addition)
Preparation of Easement Exhibits for Public Utilities and Access
Our scope and services for this task will include preparation of up to 4 sets of legal exhibits for
anticipated public easements serving the new building. The location and extent of these
easements is currently under discussion but will be based on the design location of utilities and
road and alley features. We have assumed that easement granting documents will be prepared
by the utility purveyor and/or City, to which our exhibits will be attached for recording. Recording
fees have not been included, assuming that the City or their right of way consultant will manage
the recording effort.
Based on our discussions we anticipate the following easements may be needed for this effort:
• Public Access Easement (Alley)
• Public Utility and Transportation Easement (Kincaid)
• PUD Utilities Easement
• Public Structure Encroachment Easement (or License)
The following deliverables will be included as a part of this task:
• Recordable PLS Certified Legal descriptions and Exhibit Maps (up to 4 sets)
SCHEDULE, TERMS AND BUDGET
We propose to accomplish these services on a time and materials basis for an estimated fee of
$12,390, in accordance with our contract fee schedule and the attached scope and fee
spreadsheet, both of which have been included and are considered a part of this proposal.
We have assumed for the purposes of this proposal that we will receive a signed subconsultant
agreement or equivalent contract paperwork as formal authorization to proceed. We are happy
to provide necessary professional and general liability insurance information as needed.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to continuing to work
with HKP, KPFF and the City of Mount Vernon on this project. Please call if you have questions
regarding this submittal.
Sincerely,
Pacific Surveying and Engineering, Inc.

Project Additional Service Request #1 for Civil Engineering
Dear Julie:
This proposal is for the additional services requests (ASR’s) related to the scope progression
associated with the Mount Vernon Library Commons project. Services included are:
• NEPA Related Design Modifications
• PSE Pad Mounted Transformer Requirement
• CNG Gas Location Coordination
SCOPE OF WORK
Base scope and Civil ASR’s 1-5 are documented in our May 19, 2021 proposal, which was
included in HKP’s Consultant Letter of Agreement, dated June 1, 2021.
Civil ASR #6 – NEPA Related Design Modifications - $18,500 LS
We are providing the civil design for increasing the areas being treated for Water Quality
mitigation to address the federal funding application, which required the project to meet
HUD/NEPA requirements (low impact development and water quality treatment). We
have added two water quality modular wetland treatment vaults, and their associated
conveyance piping, to the base civil design. The civil efforts include:
• One round of design revision after review by the City
• Coordination and meetings with the City, BERK, and the HUD representative
• Hydraulic modeling
• Documentation of this design, including grading modifications.
• One round of minor NMPFs related comments.
Civil ASR #7A – PSE Pad Mounted Transformer and Alley Adjustments - $13,500 LS
PSE recently informed the project team that they will not provide a below-ground
transformer vault to service the building. They are requiring the project install a pad
mounted transformer and a below-grade switch and vault. Transformer locations were
explored, with both internal and external locations considered. External locations
Julie Blazek, AIA
May 31, 2022
Page 2
include the adjacent parking lot to the southwest of the project site, or the existing
right-of-way South 3rd Street previous alignment. Per coordination with PSE, Owner,
and design team, the South 3rd Street location has been selected for the transformer
was selected and a switch gear vault was added.
For the alley adjustments, the City of Mount Vernon has directed the team to remove the
electrical poles within the alley, widen that asphalt paving, and install new curb along the
south edge of the alley. The anticipated civil efforts to address these adjustments
include:
• Revising the civil plans to address the electrical feed and eliminating the
southeastern vault
• Layout the new pad location and associated service conduits, civil has provided
2 iterations on layout.
• Coordination for easement requirements
• Coordination meetings with the City, team, and PSE.
• We anticipate that PSE or the TFWB will provide the geometric and clearance
requirements and we will coordinate with HKP to provide the horizontal layout.
• Coordination with water quality vault provider for water quality vault sizing based
on site constraints from transformer relocation and conduit routing, and revising
stormwater layout on civil plans.
• Revising alley paving and grading extents for proposed curb along the south
edge of alley.
• We anticipate that TFWB will provide coordination with PSE and communication
providers for the removal of the electrical poles.
Civil ASR #7B – CNG Gas Location Coordination - $4,750 LS
KPFF has documented and coordinated a new location for the CNG active gas line that
runs in the alley along the south side of the project property as part of our base scope
and document preparation to date. We have routed new and relocated utilities around
this new gas line location. On May 26, 2022, CNG notified the City that the gas line can
be removed completely from the alley, which provides better clearances for the
remaining utilities planned in the alley. This ASR addresses the revisions to the civil
plans to adjust the utilities designed within the alley. The anticipated civil efforts include:
• Revising the civil plans to provide additional clearance between the electrical
services and distribution lines with the communication lines.
• Adjusting the storm and water quality vault layout on the west end of the alley to
provide additional clearances to the electrical distribution and services lines
• Coordinating with the water quality vault manufacturer to document the updated
design and layout, and obtain updated details.
