In order to optimize design and minimize conflicts, the STATE shall coordinate design and construction of the various contracts making up the PROJECT with design of subsequent PROGRAM stages, and with construction of previous stages of the PROGRAM. The STATE shall be prepared to modify design of the contracts making up the PROJECT, the subsequent PROGRAM stage and/or previous stage if both PARTIES determine the modifications are necessary and reasonable, to minimize design conflicts. 2.8 The STATE is responsible for designing and constructing the PROJECT except for the CITY's responsibility to relocate Conflicting Facilities as provided in Section 2.10 of UT 01474 and UT 01476. The STATE is responsible for taking measures to minimize, limit, and mitigate damage to private property and CITY Facilities that may result from the PROJECT construction, including damage that may result from tunnel-induced Deformation. The STATE is responsible for remedying at its cost such damage should it occur. 2.9 The PARTIES agree that it is in the public interest for one PARTY to implement portions of the other PARTY's PROJECT responsibilities. Therefore, this SDOT Agreement establishes a Task Order process for use by a PARTY to authorize the other PARTY to conduct work on its behalf and, as may be documented through each Task Order, to agree to reimburse the other PARTY for such services. 2.10 The PARTIES agree that the STATE is responsible for funding the design and construction of a re-located surface street within the Alaskan Way right-of-way from South King Street to Pine Street, a new surface street from the intersection of Pine Street and Alaskan Way to Battery Street connecting Alaskan Way to Elliot and Western Avenues, the demolition of the existing Alaskan Way Viaduct, and Battery Street Tunnel decommissioning. These rights-of-way and surface streets will be designed to serve all anticipated users, including automobiles, transit, freight, bicycles and pedestrians. The CITY and STATE will jointly perform the design and construction of the Viaduct demolition. Additional details regarding of the funding, design, and construction provisions for the street and Alaskan Way Viaduct demolition will be the subject of a future agreement. 2.11 The PARTIES agree that the PROGRAM will not be complete until the elements in Exhibit D are completed. The PARTIES agree that the current scope identified for certain elements of the PROGRAM is reflected in Exhibit D. Future mutual agreement of the PARTIES shall be required in order to reduce or substantially alter the scope outlined in Exhibit D.

GCA 6486 EXHIBIT B Design Review, Construction Management, Inspection, Record Drawing and Task Order Procedures 1. Scope. This document establishes implementing procedures called for in and otherwise necessitated by GCA 6486 (SDOT Agreement), UT 01476 (SCL Agreement) and UT 01474 (SPU Agreement). 1.1. With respect to CITY regulatory authority, the scope of this document is limited to the issuance of SDOT Street Use Permits. References to CITY permits, standards, or regulatory authority or responsibility, including references that are not expressly limited, are not intended to extend beyond Street Use Permits or the standards, authority, or responsibility under SMC Title 15. 1.2. Nothing in this document is intended, or shall be construed, to expand the scope of CITY responsibility regarding the PROJECT beyond the scope stated in the SDOT, SCL, and SPU Agreements. 1.3. Within the scope described above, this document is intended to describe roles and procedural responsibilities, clarify expectations, and standardize business processes for the duration of the PROJECT. Due to the complexity of the PROJECT and adjacent PROGRAM elements, the STATE and the CITY recognize that unanticipated situations will arise that require modification of these procedures. 2. Plan Review for Design and Permits 2.1. These Design and Plan Review procedures are based on the expectation that WSDOT is responsible for executing the PROJECT work either under WSDOT's direct responsibilities for PROJECT elements or where the CITY has entered into a Task Order agreement for WSDOT assistance in executing the CITY's responsibilities. In instances where the CITY executes PROJECT work, additional procedures may be needed to address design and construction coordination. 2.2. In implementing the procedures, the goal of WSDOT and the CITY is to facilitate timely and expeditious completion of PROJECT designs that: * Meet PROJECT requirements and standards and commitments in the SDOT, SPU, and SCL Agreements; * Comply with WSDOT procedural requirements in a timely manner; * Fulfill CITY regulatory requirements set forth in Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Title 15 in a timely manner; * Achieve the PROJECT schedule; * Allow construction to proceed in a timely manner; * Minimize PROJECT scope growth; and * Minimize impact on CITY Facilities. 2.3. WSDOT will take the lead in coordinating regular communications and design coordination meetings with the CITY, WSDOT's consultants and contractors, and other utility owners. 2.4. WSDOT will prepare PROJECT designs affecting CITY Facilities in collaboration with SDOT, SCL, and SPU staff and agrees to seek and incorporate input from the CITY in the early stages of preliminary engineering, preparation of Plan Review Packages and Design Submittals, and throughout the PROJECT design and permitting process. 2.5. Design and construction of CITY Infrastructure will meet CITY Standards. Design of CITY Infrastructure will include consideration of long-term operation and maintenance costs, in addition to up-front design and construction costs. 2.6. The CITY will review all plans for work described in Section 7.3 of the SDOT Agreement GCA 6846. 2.7. WSDOT will coordinate and obtain written concurrence from the CITY on any requested deviation from CITY standards prior to the beginning of construction. 2.8. WSDOT and the CITY agree that WSDOT will submit plans for CITY Infrastructure prepared in accordance with SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement CADD Manual, Revision 2.0, dated April 2010. 2.9. WSDOT will coordinate and obtain written concurrence from the CITY prior to implementing revisions or deviations from the Approved Plans. 2.10. The CITY will notify WSDOT in good faith when the CITY becomes aware of issues that may delay issuance of a Street Use Permit. Failure to provide such notice shall not provide grounds to challenge the issuance or non-issuance of a permit. 3. Procedures for Design-Bid-Build Contracts. 3.1. WSDOT will determine the project scope for a given design and contract package with CITY input. Changes to project scope will necessitate review by WSDOT AWVSR PROGRAM management in accordance with PROGRAM configuration management and change control procedures. 3.2. WSDOT and the CITY will collaborate to develop a target project delivery schedule to include WSDOT's Plan Review Package submittals to the CITY. WSDOT will notify the CITY of any proposed schedule modifications. If WSDOT determines that it cannot meet the anticipated dates, WSDOT will collaborate with the CITY's Designated Representative to develop a revised submittal schedule as soon as possible after delay is known or anticipated. 3.3. WSDOT will notify the CITY's Designated Representative fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the scheduled Plan Review Package scheduled transmittal to confirm that the Plan Review Package will be transmitted as scheduled or to establish a deferred date so that CITY staff can be appropriately scheduled for the review. 3.4. WSDOT will prepare and submit complete plans and supporting documentation to the CITY and provide corrections and additional information as needed by the CITY to allow CITY staff sufficient time to review the Street Use Permit application and the plans. The duration for review for each Plan Review Package is indicated in the tables below. Submittal of multiple Plan Review Packages to the CITY for concurrent review may increase the time required for review as indicated in the tables below, or as otherwise agreed by WSDOT and the CITY. 3.5. SDOT will coordinate CITY review of the Plan Review Packages to include receiving and distributing materials among CITY of Seattle reviewers, collating and tracking review comments, and working with other CITY departments to resolve conflicting comments or requirements. 3.6. WSDOT will submit a Street Use Permit application early during design development in order to define permit conditions for incorporation into contract documents. This application submittal will initiate the permit review and issuance process. Table 1: Design-Bid-Build Review Periods
* In the event that more than three Plan Review Packages and/or major PROGRAM-related documents are under review at the same time, WSDOT and CITY agree to negotiate a reasonable review time for the Plan Review Packages being submitted. ** Post-Advertisement addenda review time will be based on the volume of revisions to plan sheets and specifications affecting City Facilities follows: Table 2: Addenda Review Periods
3.7. The CITY's design review and Street Use Permit processes will take place as follows: 3.7.1. The CITY review period begins on the Business Day following receipt by the CITY's Designated Representative of the Plan Review Package and ends when the CITY'S final comment document is submitted to WSDOT electronically in a Microsoft Excel document format. The CITY is responsible to assign appropriate staff to review and provide comment within the established timeframes. 3.7.2. Following its review of the Progress Plan Review Package, SDOT will prepare and deliver to WSDOT draft Street Use Permit conditions. SDOT will update the draft conditions after completion of CITY's review of each subsequent Plan Review Package to enable incorporation of the draft conditions into WSDOT's construction contract documents. 3.7.3. WSDOT will deliver the Plan Review Packages as further described in this Exhibit. If the CITY receives a submittal from WSDOT that does not contain all the requirements of a Plan Review Package, the CITY will notify WSDOT that the submittal is incomplete. To expedite the process and to the extent possible, the CITY will attempt to begin review of an incomplete submittal. However, WSDOT will submit the information needed to complete the Plan Review Package as soon as possible and will highlight any changes made since submittal of the incomplete Plan Review Package. The CITY's plan review period will not commence until the receipt of a complete Plan Review Package. 3.7.4. The CITY's Designated Representative will work with the CITY departments to identify comments on the Plan Review Packages. The CITY departments will reconcile conflicting comments, and SDOT will incorporate the comments in a single document. 3.7.5. The CITY will assist WSDOT in determining appropriate responses to comments and resolution of concerns noted in its comments. 3.7.6. WSDOT will provide initial written responses to all comments within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the CITY's comments to a Plan Review Package. All comments related to CITY Infrastructure shall be resolved to the CITY's satisfaction and incorporated into the succeeding Plan Review Packages. 3.7.7. WSDOT will hold a comment resolution meeting with the CITY within ten (10) Business Days after WSDOT receives and responds to the CITY comments. Any unresolved comments will be forwarded to a comment resolution team composed of CITY and WSDOT staff. In the event the team cannot resolve all issues, they will be elevated to appropriate levels of management in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. 3.8. WSDOT and the CITY agree to follow a process to facilitate both WSDOT's compliance with both WSDOT procedures governing preparation of bid packages and SDOT procedures for issuing Street Use Permits. The process will include the following steps: 3.8.1. WSDOT will endeavor to resolve and address all CITY comments on previous Plan Review Packages to the CITY's satisfaction prior to submittal of the 100% Plan Review Package. The CITY will be responsive to requests to meet and review the design approach to resolution. WSDOT agrees to resolve and address, to the CITY's satisfaction, all CITY comments from previous Plan Review Packages that are related to CITY Infrastructure design. 3.8.2. The CITY will determine, following the receipt of the 100% Plan Review Package, whether all comments on the previous Plan Review Package have been addressed. At the conclusion of this determination, the CITY will notify WSDOT in writing either that the CITY's comments have been resolved to the CITY's satisfaction or that WSDOT has not addressed all the CITY's comments to the CITY's satisfaction. If the CITY notifies WSDOT that it has not addressed all CITY comments to the CITY's satisfaction, the CITY will submit to WSDOT proposals for addressing the outstanding issues. WSDOT will engage CITY reviewers in resolution of the remaining review comments and, either party may elevate unresolved comments in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. 3.8.3. WSDOT will invite the CITY to participate in its Round Table Meeting to enable full discussion of the implications and consequences to CITY Facilities or compliance with SMC Title 15 of changes proposed by WSDOT to the 100% Plan Review Package. WSDOT will coordinate revisions made to the contract plans and provisions after WSDOT submits the 100% Plan Review Package. 3.8.4. SDOT will issue its Street Use Permit within five (5) Business Days following the Round Table Meeting if the CITY determines that the plans conform to the requirements of SMC Title 15. If any issues remain for resolution, the CITY will condition the Street Use Permit accordingly. WSDOT will engage CITY reviewers in resolution of review comments and, if resolution cannot be reached, either PARTY may elevate unresolved comments in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. 3.8.5. If the Street Use Permit has not been issued within five (5) Business Days following the Round Table Meeting, the SDOT Director or his designee will review the cause of permit delay within one (1) Business Day, and meet with the STATE's Program Administrator or his designee to discuss the issues and develop a course of action. 3.8.6. WSDOT will work with the CITY to ensure that all comments on the 100% Plan Review Package are adequately incorporated into WSDOT's advertisement for bid, or are otherwise addressed to WSDOT's and the CITY's satisfaction and that all comments on the 100% Plan Review Package related to design of CITY Infrastructure are addressed to the CITY's satisfaction. This process will include comment resolution with CITY reviewers, a meeting with WSDOT and CITY resolution teams, and, if resolution cannot be reached, elevation of unresolved comments in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. 3.8.6.1. WSDOT will prepare and submit post-advertisement addenda to the CITY prior to releasing addenda to prospective bidders. Addenda will clearly delineate changes that have been made to the plans and specifications. The addenda review periods will be determined by the scope and complexity of the proposed addenda with review times generally as indicated in the tables above. 3.8.6.2. WSDOT will notify the CITY when the final addendum is issued to prospective bidders. This notice will constitute the Final Plan Review Package submittal. The CITY will review the Final Plan Review Package to confirm whether WSDOT has adequately addressed the CITY plan review comments, whether all applicable conditions of the Street Use Permit have been addressed to the CITY's satisfaction, and whether plans conform to the requirements of the SMC Title 15. Prior to bid opening, and upon the CITY's determination that a Final Plan Review Package meets requirements, the CITY will issue to WSDOT a Letter of Plan Approval that: * Identifies the plans and specifications that have been granted the CITY's regulatory approval for construction by the CITY, and * Signifies that WSDOT has addressed the plan review comments. No construction may take place until the Letter of Plan Approval has been issued by the CITY. 4. Procedures for Design-Build Contracts 4.1. The procedures that follow are intended to facilitate meeting requirements, standards, and objectives for the Design-Build portions of the PROJECT. 4.2. WSDOT agrees to work with the CITY in defining and meeting the design and construction standards for the PROJECT work affecting CITY Facilities. The CITY will provide clear design guidance for elements of the PROJECT to be owned, operated or maintained by the CITY. WSDOT will include CITY design and construction standards in WSDOT's Design-Build Contract documents for CITY Facilities. 4.3. WSDOT will apply for a Street Use Permit prior to issuance of the final Request for Proposals. The CITY may review and comment on the Final RFP. 4.4. As a requirement of its Design-Build Contract(s), the Design-Builder will organize Task Forces for design development, coordination, and management of various elements of the work. The Task Forces are a primary vehicle for coordination and will provide an opportunity for WSDOT and CITY staff to provide input to the design process. Task Force meetings will also be the primary means to keep reviewers up to date on design development. Over-the-shoulder reviews will be conducted to facilitate quicker turn-around of formal plan reviews. Dependent on the need for coordination with adjacent contracts, some of the Task Forces will be designated as "corridor-wide." In addition to WSDOT and CITY staff, Task Force membership may include representatives from other stakeholders such as private utility owners, King County, the Port of Seattle, the stadiums, and adjacent contractors. 4.5. The CITY will participate in Task Forces affecting CITY Facilities and for the performance of the CITY's regulatory responsibilities. Based on current PROJECT planning, the CITY will participate in the following Task Forces: * Utilities * Construction Monitoring * Fire and Life Safety * Maintenance of Traffic * Road/Traffic * Buildings * Public Information * Quality 4.6. Task Forces will meet on a regular basis to solicit input, coordinate design and construction activity, and assure dissemination of critical PROJECT information to all members. The Design Builder or WSDOT will be the designated lead for meetings and recording of meeting minutes. The Task Forces will work collaboratively to review and provide guidance as the Design Builder develops Design Submittals. 4.7. WSDOT and the CITY recognize that regular attendance at Task Force meetings by their respective staffs is necessary to discuss and agree upon resolutions of design issues before more formal review processes begin in order to streamline later review and minimize substantial comments when the Preliminary and Final Design plans are submitted. 4.8. Attendance at over-the-shoulder review by CITY staff members will be determined by the CITY Construction Project Engineer based in part upon the materials to be reviewed. Whenever possible three (3) Business Days notice will be given to persons who do not regularly attend Task Force meetings. The CITY will make every effort to assign staff members to over-the-shoulder review meetings who are authorized to make final decisions regarding compliance of the plans for CITY Facilities with the CITY's standards, specifications and permit requirements. 4.9. WSDOT's Design Builder will submit a Quality Management Plan (QMP) that will define the timing, content, and format of all design reviews. The QMP will also include processes and procedures for how regularly scheduled Task Force meetings will be used to support quality goals. These meetings, combined with over-the-shoulder reviews, will be an integral part of the process to discuss and resolve design issues outside of the formal review process and reduce the level of effort required to conduct the formal review process. The QMP will define how over-the-shoulder reviews will be conducted with Task Force members. Over-the-shoulder reviews are inprogress reviews of the design and provide opportunities for WSDOT, the CITY, and other stakeholders to provide comments and feedback on the design. 4.10. The design builder will be required to provide three submittals for each design element as indicated below. These submittals are intended to meet the requirements of the design and Street Use Permit plan review processes of both WSDOT and the CITY. The CITY will review design elements affecting CITY Facilities and CITY interests, and for the performance of the CITY's regulatory responsibilities, within the scope stated in this Agreement, UT 01476 (SCL Agreement) and UT 01474 (SPU Agreement). 4.10.1. Preliminary Design Submittal . The intent of the Preliminary Design Submittal is to provide a formal opportunity for WSDOT, the CITY, the Design Builder, various design team disciplines, and other approved PROJECT stakeholders to review the construction documents in order to provide input addressing whether the plans reflect Design Builde Contract requirements for construction; whether design features are coordinated; and whether there are no fatal flaws within a given discipline or between disciplines. The contents of the Preliminary Design Submittal will vary by discipline as specified in the RFP or as mutually agreed by members of the applicable Task Force. 4.10.2. Final Design Submittal . The Final Design Submittal will be prepared when the design for a given element or area is near 100% complete. The Final Design Submittal includes plan sheets, specifications, technical memos, reports, calculations, and other pertinent data, as applicable and incorporates design changes or otherwise addresses CITY comments. As a result of the on-going discussion and resolution of design and construction issues through the regularly-scheduled Task Force meetings and over-the-shoulder reviews, it is anticipated that there will be very few revisions or changes at this stage. The Final Design Submittal will include all specifications, including but not limited to, all amendments to the WSDOT Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction, special provisions, technical requirements, and technical specifications, necessary to construct the work represented in the submittal. Following resolution of all comments, the Final Design Submittal may proceed through the written certification process described below in preparation for being released for construction. 4.10.3. Released for Construction (RFC) Submittal . At a minimum, the Design Builder will provide a preliminary and a final submittal of all plans and technical specifications and resolve all comments prior to being released for construction. Comments from the CITY concerning design of the CITY's stated requirements for CITY Infrastructure, and comments regarding compliance with SMC Title 15, will be resolved to the CITY's satisfaction. WSDOT will ensure that the RFC Submittal reflects all QA, QC, and design reviews required by the QMP and this Agreement, UT 01476 (SCL Agreement) and UT 01474 (SPU Agreement). . WSDOT will also provide a written certification from its contractor to be used to verify to WSDOT and the City that all QA procedures have been completed to ensure that all review comments have been incorporated as agreed to during the comment resolution process among WSDOT, and the DesignBuilder, and that the documents are ready to be released for construction. Each sheet of the plan set and the cover of each set of technical specifications in the RFC Submittal will carry the Professional Engineer's stamp registered in the State of Washington and will be stamped "Released for Construction" by the contractor's Design QA Manager. 4.10.4. WSDOT will provide hard copies and electronic files (in both CADD and PDF formats) of documents pertaining to CITY Facilities or the Street Use Permit as requested by the CITY's Construction Project Engineer. The electronic drawing files will include copies of all sheet and reference files used in the RFC Submittal. All design submittals will conform to the AWVSRP Computer Aided Design & Drafting Manual. Construction will not begin until WSDOT has determined that all required government and private approvals have been obtained. 4.10.5. Design Review . The review period for the Preliminary and Final Design Submittals will be fourteen (14) calendar days from the Business Day following receipt by the CITY's Construction Project Engineer of the Plan Review Package. The review period may be extended for submittals with overlapping review periods. The CITY will provide staff to provide guidance, review and comment on the Preliminary and Final Design Submittals for CITY Infrastructure, and work that impacts CITY Facilities and for work requiring a Street Use Permit as necessary to complete the reviews within the allotted period. Reviews may be required for the entire design or discrete portions of the design. Review comments will be submitted in a manner and form as requested and approved in the Design-Builder's QMP and mutually agreed by WSDOT and the CITY. WSDOT and the CITY Construction Project Engineer will jointly determine the design elements to be reviewed by the CITY. 4.10.6. Comment Resolution . The Design-Builder will schedule and maintain minutes of all resolution meetings with WSDOT and CITY staff and other Task Force members as appropriate to document and resolve review comments. It is intended that all comments will be resolved at these meetings. The Design-Builder will incorporate comment resolutions in subsequent submittals and provide a spreadsheet explaining action taken on each comment. In the event WSDOT disagrees with any CITY comment, the CITY and WSDOT will make staff with decision making authority on the issue available at the earliest possible opportunity to resolve the matter. If resolution cannot be reached, unresolved comments will be elevated in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. 4.10.7. Street Use Permit Issuance . Upon receipt of a Preliminary Design Submittal, SDOT will make a determination as to whether the proposed work package requires a Street Use Permit under the provisions of SMC Title 15, or Letter of Plan Approval, and so notify WSDOT. SDOT will issue a Street Use Permit and Letter of Plan Approval for the initial RFC Submittal within three (3) days of receipt of the RFC Submittal if the CITY has determined that the plans for the PROJECT element conform to the requirements of SMC Title 15 and that WSDOT has resolved all CITY plan review comments. Upon receipt of the City-issued Street Use Permit and Letter of Plan Approval WSDOT will be authorized to proceed with construction subject to the terms and conditions of the permit. 4.10.8. If the Street Use Permit has not been issued within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the RFC Submittal, the SDOT Director or his designee will review the cause of permit delay within one (1) Business Day, and meet with the STATE's Program Administrator or his designee to discuss the issues and develop a course of action. 4.10.9. Changes to RFC Submittal . WSDOT will diligently attempt to avoid the need for plan changes after issuance of a Street Use Permit or Letter of Plan Approval. In the event such changes occur, the CITY will undertake any additional review and permit re-issuance in as expedited a manner as practicable. WSDOT will require the Design-Builder's QMP to address the process for implementing design changes, including field changes, on the RFC Submittal. Design changes will be subject to the QA and QC measures and procedures, commensurate with those applied to the original design or that portion of the PROJECT under consideration for change. WSDOT will obtain CITY concurrence for all design changes affecting CITY Facilities or permitted interests prior to implementation of the change. 4.10.10. WSDOT will require the Design Builder to document all revisions made to the Approved Plans and design documents during the construction phase of the PROJECT by preparing new, revised or supplemental documents (including plan sheets, technical specifications, calculations, reports, and narratives). The new, revised, and supplemental documents will meet all requirements for the original documents. Every revision will be assigned a number. The revision number will be assigned sequentially, with each change in a document or plan sheet identified by the revision number. The assigned number will be located both at the location of the change on the sheet and in the revision block of the document, along with an explanation of the change. Revised RFC Submittals will be reviewed by the CITY Project Construction Engineer, who will coordinate with CITY departments as required depending upon the nature of the changes and initiate amendment of the Street Use Permit if required, consistent with applicable law. 5. Construction Management, Inspection, and Acceptance Procedures 5.1. The following procedures govern construction management, inspection, and acceptance processes of CITY Facilities constructed by WSDOT for the PROJECT and address fulfillment of the CITY's regulatory role under SMC Title 15. The procedures will be used for Design-Bid-Build Contract and Design-Build Contract project delivery methods. 5.2. WSDOT and the CITY agree to work cooperatively with each other and in good faith to implement these procedures to attempt to accomplish the following: 5.2.1. Enable timely and expeditious execution of the PROJECT in accordance with the agreed standards on schedule. 5.2.2. Facilitate thorough review of all stages of construction to ascertain that CITY Infrastructure constructed by WSDOT is in compliance with CITY policy and regulations, and standards and specifications. 5.2.3.

Construction of CITY Infrastructure will conform to CITY laws, rules, regulations and standards. 5.5. WSDOT will designate STATE Project Engineers to administer its construction contracts for the PROJECT and to ensure work is constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans and the terms and conditions of the Street Use Permits and GCA 6486, UT 01474, and UT 01476. WSDOT may use consultant(s) in providing some or all of construction management services. The CITY may consult with and make inquiries of the STATE Project Engineer or designee, attend all meetings and have access to all documentation pertinent to CITY Facilities and performance of its regulatory responsibilities. 5.6. The CITY will provide a City Construction Project Engineer tasked to: (1) coordinate the activities of CITY inspectors, crews and consultants; (2) communicate with the STATE Project Engineer regarding regulatory compliance, changes in design, the CITY's participation in reviewing contractor submittals, and the use of CITY resources; (3) coordinate the final inspection and acceptance of CITY Infrastructure with representatives from CITY departments; and (4) report on construction progress and issues to CITY department managers. 5.7. The CITY will provide qualified staff and/or consultants to fulfill its inspection, construction, and administration responsibilities during construction. CITY staff will work under the general direction of the City Construction Project Engineer CITY crews, technical and inspection staff and consultants will work in an integrated manner with STATE Project Engineer staff to perform construction related tasks and evaluate conformity of construction of CITY Infrastructure with the Approved Plans. CITY inspectors and compliance officers will immediately notify the STATE Project Engineer or designee of any compliance issues. 5.8. For each PROJECT contract, WSDOT will provide the CITY with a detailed contract execution schedule that includes CITY Infrastructure work, and will coordinate with the CITY to schedule utility shutdowns, cut-overs, and other CITY crew work and inspections. At a minimum, schedule updates will be provided on a monthly basis. Schedule changes will be promptly communicated to the CITY as soon as they become known by WSDOT. 5.9. Contractor Submittals . Within thirty (30) days of contract execution, WSDOT will prepare or cause its contractor(s) to prepare and submit a preliminary Submittal Control Document for each construction contract for use by WSDOT and the CITY to plan and manage staffing requirements for review of contractor submittals relating to construction of CITY Infrastructure and fulfillment of CITY permit requirements. The Submittal Control Document will include material submittals pursuant to CITY material standards and the City of Seattle Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction. The Submittal Control Document is a construction management tool that will be expanded and elaborated as each contract progresses. 5.9.1. WSDOT will forward electronic copies of submittals for CITY review to the City Construction Project Engineer who will assign primary, and if appropriate, secondary CITY reviewers. Hard copies will be provided upon request. 5.9.2. For Design-Bid-Build components of the PROJECT, the City Construction Project Engineer will return City review comments on all documents included in the approved Submittal Control Document within ten (10) business days of the CITY's receipt, unless the CITY of Seattle Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction allow for a longer review period, and respond in a timely manner to requests for information. The CITY will notify WSDOT if a submittal will require longer than ten (10) Business Days to review. 5.9.3. For Design-Build components of the PROJECT, the CITY Construction Project Engineer will return CITY review comments within five (5) working days to WSDOT. WSDOT will track all submittals and discuss the status of active submittal reviews with the City Construction Project Engineer on a weekly basis. The City Construction Project Engineer will act as a liaison between WSDOT and the CITY departments in resolving issues regarding disposition of submittal comments. 5.9.4. CITY reviewers will send their comments on submittals to the City Construction Project Engineer. The City Construction Project Engineer will consolidate comments if necessary and send comments to WSDOT for dissemination back to contractors. For design submittals on Design-Build Contracts, comment responses will be provided to CITY reviewers along with the revised design for submittals that need to go through another round of review pursuant to Section 4 above. 5.9.5. The CITY is responsible for providing submittal review comments within the allotted time. If additional time is needed to respond, the City Construction Project Engineer will discuss this on a case-by-case basis, and obtain WSDOT's approval for a time extension in advance of the due date. 5.9.6. Pursuant to CITY review comments, the STATE Project Engineer will provide disposition instructions for all submittals to its contractors. 5.10. Access to SPU and SCL Facilities . WSDOT will provide the CITY with twenty-four (24) hour, seven (7) days a week, safe access to CITY Facilities in all construction and staging areas for the purpose of operation, maintenance, and emergency response. CITY staff will notify WSDOT in advance of their arrival on site except in the case of emergency. In the case of emergencies, safety practice dictates that CITY staff will make every effort to notify the STATE Project Engineer immediately upon entering a PROJECT construction site or staging area. 5.11. Testing and Inspection . WSDOT will develop (or in the case of Design-Build Contracts, require its contractor to develop) a quality management plan to include an inspection and test plan describing all the proposed quality assurance inspections and tests to be performed throughout the construction process. Activity-specific inspection and test plans will be prepared during the preparatory phase for each definable feature of work. WSDOT will provide the CITY with the opportunity to review the quality management plan. The CITY will review and comment on the inspection and test plan, and any other provisions regarding CITY Infrastructure. 5.11.1. WSDOT will form quality assurance or verification teams as appropriate for the contract type. The CITY will have representation on these teams. The quality team for each contract will hold meetings to review test and inspection results and address and rectify issues relating to inspection, substandard material quality, adjustments needed for inadequate quality assurance and quality control processes, test results demonstrating that tolerance standards are not met, disparities between quality assurance and quality verification test data, future quality concerns, and any other issues raised by WSDOT and the CITY regarding quality of construction of CITY Infrastructure. 5.11.2. WSDOT will provide the CITY with timely notice prior to commencement and completion of all material stages of CITY Infrastructure work and will invite the CITY to inspect such work upon completion of any material stage. The CITY on-site inspector will be invited to the weekly construction meeting prior to any work being started on CITY Facilities. WSDOT will provide at least five (5) Business Days notice for each inspection. The CITY will submit a complete list of any concerns or deficiencies to WSDOT within ten (10) Business Days after the date of any inspection. WSDOT will timely address each comment or issue presented by the CITY to the CITY's satisfaction. Both WSDOT and the CITY agree to act as expeditiously as possible to assure a timely resolution of any deficiencies. 5.11.3. Throughout construction of the PROJECT, CITY staff and consultants will assist the STATE Project Engineer in evaluating contract compliance of CITY Infrastructure built by WSDOT's contractors. WSDOT will coordinate with the CITY to designate mandatory inspection points (hold points) for CITY Infrastructure. No work will proceed beyond a hold point until inspection has been performed or the option to inspect has been waived by a letter or e-mail from the City Construction Project Engineer to the STATE Project Engineer. WSDOT will provide notification to the CITY twenty-four (24) hours in advance of completion of work to be inspected by the CITY so that the CITY may perform inspection if desired. 5.11.4. The CITY will notify WSDOT promptly of any Defective Work observed by CITY inspectors. 5.11.5. Testing of CITY Infrastructure will conform to the requirements of the CITY Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction. The CITY may observe testing of materials and inspect installation of CITY Infrastructure and provide a written evaluation to the STATE Project Engineer regarding whether the materials or facilities tested meet with the requirements of the Approved Plans. WSDOT will endeavor to provide five (5) Business Days notice of all testing required by the Approved Plans, and the CITY will be provided a copy of certified test reports of materials or installation of CITY Infrastructure. The CITY will exercise its right to approve or reject construction or materials of CITY Infrastructure that are deficient, or that (1) do not meet with the requirements of the Approved Plans; (2) are not constructed in accordance with CITY-issued permits; (3) have defects in material and workmanship; and/or (4) have defects in design(s). 5.11.6. Except as otherwise agreed, all deficiencies will be reported through the STATE Project Engineer to the respective contractor's appropriate representative for resolution. Appropriate communications will be determined for each situation. CITY inspectors will not directly communicate with WSDOT's contractors without the express authorization of the STATE Project Engineers except when public or worker safety is in question. 5.11.7. WSDOT will ensure that underground CITY Facilities are jointly inspected and any deficiencies corrected prior to final grading and placement of overlying permanent pavement. 5.12. Change Management . The following procedures will apply to work affecting CITY Facilities or work subject to CITY-issued Street Use Permits. 5.12.1. Changes necessitated by design deficiencies or unforeseen site conditions will be managed in accordance with WSDOT contracts and standard procedures. When changes are required to the Approved Plans, the STATE Project Engineer will consult with the City Construction Project Engineer to determine CITY review requirements. When CITY review is required, the City Construction Project Engineer will coordinate the timely review of the contract modification and supporting documentation. In any case, the STATE Project Engineer will obtain CITY approval prior to implementing any change order affecting CITY Facilities or work subject to CITY issued Street Use Permits. 5.12.2. Within three (3) Business Days of receiving a proposed change to Approved Plans for any CITY Infrastructure work, WSDOT or its contractor will transmit the scope for the proposed change to the CITY for review, comment, and written approval. Before executing the change order, in a nonemergency situation and unless otherwise agreed by WSDOT and the CITY, WSDOT will allow the CITY sufficient time to review, comment and approve or disapprove in writing changes to the Approved Plans. The CITY will assign any change a high priority and provide a timely response commensurate with the complexity of the proposed change. 5.12.3. The CITY may request additions and changes to the construction contract through WSDOT. WSDOT will comply with the requested changes provided that the changes are within the general scope of the PROJECT and comply with the PROJECT permits, State and/or Federal law and applicable rules, codes and/or regulations. WSDOT retains the right to reject requested changes if incorporating such changes could result in unwarranted additional cost to the STATE or a delay in the PROJECT schedule. Such additions and changes may lead to change orders, or they may lead to Betterments or New Work. If the CITY and WSDOT agree to implement the change, the requesting CITY department and WSDOT will document the request in writing by completing and signing a concurrence letter. The CITY agrees to reimburse WSDOT for the costs associated with Betterments and additional New Work. 5.12.4.

WSDOT contractors may need to obtain electrical clearances when it is necessary to de-energize electrical lines or system appurtenances. Individual clearance holders will be required to go through a training session based on SCL's System Operation Center (SOC) guidelines to familiarize themselves with SCL requirements for holding and maintaining a clearance on the SCL electrical system. SCL will provide WSDOT's contractor an outline of procedures and guidelines to follow at all times during the clearance and WSDOT will ensure that such guidelines and procedures are followed. Chief Dispatcher, Dana Wheelock or his designee at 206-706-0241, will be the contact for SCL. SCL's Power Line Clearance Coordinator reserves the right to review the contractor crew's qualifications and notify WSDOT. WSDOT will require the contractor to replace those sub-contractors who do not meet qualifications required under state law. 5.13.1.2. Advance Notice of Service Outages . WSDOT will submit a request in writing, thirty (30) calendar days prior to any necessary outages specifying the electrical boundaries, the date the outage will begin and the date the facilities can be re-energized and put into/back into service. SCL will accommodate such requests unless prohibited by operational necessity, a previously scheduled outage conflicts with the outage requested by WSDOT, or emergency conditions prohibit the outage or limit the availability of crews. If denied, SCL will assist WSDOT in finding another outage window. If granted, SCL will outline any conditions related to such outage to WSDOT. 5.13.2. SPU . The following special considerations apply to construction work associated with SPU Facilities. 5.13.2.1. Testing Specific to SPU Facilities .

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT UT 01476 SR 99 ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT REPLACEMENT SCL FACILITIES WORK AGREEMENT FOR SR99 BORED TUNNEL PROJECT EXHIBIT B Franchise/Utility Permit Conditions for Utility Facilities located within Limited Access Areas designated for the AWVSRP Introduction Below are the terms and conditions that will apply to Franchises / Utility Permits issued to SCL and SPU associated with areas designated new Limited Access Facility for the Proposed Bored Tunnel Project (Project). The exact location of the Limited Access limits is still not completely defined, and SPU and SCL will likely have pre-existing infrastructure that will fall within the Limited Access area. In addition, there are utilities that will be replaced or relocated that may be installed in areas of Limited Access, though there is a strong preference to limit these occurrences. The Franchise/Utility Permit conditions outlined below would not apply to the building of utility new facilities within the Limited Access areas. Utility Permit Conditions The Washington State Department of Transportation ("STATE") hereby grants to the ______ ("CITY") the non-exclusive permission to use a portion of the ______, situated in Seattle, Washington. The rights herein granted are subject to all other easements and permits affecting the lands subject to this Permit. 1. Background . The Proposed Bored Tunnel Project (Project) replaces State Route 99 from South Royal Brougham Way to Roy Street and consists of designing and constructing a four-lane bored tunnel from South King Street to Thomas Street; north and south tunnel portals and access streets; re-establishment of the CITY street grid in the vicinity of the portals; and associated utility relocations. The Project is located in Seattle, which is a very densely developed urban environment, with utility infrastructure that has been woven into the fabric of the CITY. There is no alternative but to have the portals associated with the Project emerge into CITY street right of way where CITY owned Utility Facilities currently reside. The cost of purchasing right of way outside of these CITY streets is prohibitive, and the STATE has no choice but to declare portions of the CITY right of way as a Limited Access Facility as part of this Project. This Permit addresses the situation where CITY owned Utility Facilities will have to be modified, incorporated, or replaced in newly-designated Limited Access Facility, which was once CITY street right of way that formed part of STATE Route 99 as provided in RCW 47.24.010 and RCW 47.24.020. The STATE has endeavored to limit the scope of instances where CITY-owned Utility Facilities are relocated into Limited Access Facility or where the Limited Access Facility incorporates existing CITY-owned Utility Facilities. 2. Purpose . The purpose of the Permit is to provide for the location, operation, maintenance, replacement, modification, and repair of all existing CITY Utility Facilities, including, but not limited to, wires, pipelines, fibers, cables, communications devices and associated facilities and equipment both at or belowgrade owned by the CITY. The location of the Utility Facilities is within portions of the areas legally described in Exhibit A, and depicted on Exhibit B, each of which is attached and incorporated by reference. 3. Reservation . This Permit shall not be deemed or held to be an exclusive one and shall not prohibit the STATE from granting rights of like or other nature to other public or private utilities, nor shall it prevent the STATE from using any of its roads, streets, or public places, or affect its right to full supervision and control over all or any part of them, none of which is hereby surrendered. 4. Term . The Permit shall have a duration of fifty (50) years, and shall be renewed upon request in writing to the STATE and shall contain the same terms and conditions as this permit, unless otherwise requested by the City and approved by the STATE. The Permit, and shall be transferable to any third party fulfilling the function of CITY, and the third party shall have all of the same rights, obligations, and benefits herein provided to CITY. 5. Permitted Users . The STATE acknowledges that CITY may choose to allow its agents, contractors, employees, lessees, successors and assigns use of the lands subject to this Permit for the intended purpose. The rights, title, privileges and authority hereby granted in this Permit shall continue and be in force until such time as the CITY, its successors and assigns, shall permanently remove all Utility Facilities from the area or permanently abandon the Utility Facilities. 6. Relocation of Utility Facilities . Due to the fact that there are no reasonable alternative locations within which to relocate the CITY-owned utility facilities, and further due to the STATE's obligations to mitigate damages and limit Project costs, there may be a need to relocate the CITY-owned Utility Facilities within the STATE's Limited Access Facility. Whenever necessary for the construction, repair, improvement, alteration, or relocation of any portion of Project in Limited Access as determined by the STATE, or if the STATE shall determine that the removal of any or all Utility Facilities from the said lands is necessary, incidental, or convenient to the construction, repair, improvement, alteration, or relocation of the public road or street located in the STATE's Limited Access Facility, the CITY shall, upon written notice by the STATE, relocate or remove any or all of such Utility Facilities from the Limited Access Facility as may be required by the STATE. The STATE agrees to pay the full reasonable costs of such relocations and agrees to give the CITY 3 years advance notice of the needed relocations in order for the CITY to adequately plan, design and construct the relocations. In the event CITY fails to remove or relocate the Utility Facilities within a reasonable time, the STATE may undertake such removal or relocation, at the sole expense of the STATE and with all necessary coordination with the CITY. 7. Maintenance, Replacement, Repair, and Modification . All maintenance, replacement, repair, and modification of the Utility Facilities by CITY, for that area depicted on Exhibit B, shall be done in such manner as will cause the least interference with any of the STATE's performance in the operation and maintenance of XXX. All costs for such work shall be at the sole expense of the CITY, unless the need for such work is caused by the STATE. Any replacement or modification of existing Utility Facilities, within the area depicted on Exhibit B, that require the placement of above-ground facilities, shall require the issuance of an additional Utility Permit by the STATE for such construction of above-ground facilities,, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall conform with the Control Zone guidelines referenced in WAC 468-34-170 and WAC 468-34-350. 8. Restoration of Highway . Except as set forth in paragraph 6 above, the CITY agrees, at its own expense, to restore paving, grading, landscaping and other improvements damaged by CITY's activities under this Permit to at least as good a condition as such paving, grading, landscaping and other improvements were in immediately prior to the CITY's commencement of work. All material and workmanship shall conform to the Washington State Department of Transportation Standard Specification for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction, as it may exist at that time, and may be subject to inspection by the STATE. Upon failure, neglect, or refusal of the CITY to timely restore the highway as required of the CITY, the STATE may undertake and perform such restoration, at the sole cost and expense of the CITY. 9. Emergency Access to CITY-Owned Utility Facilities . In the event of an emergency, the CITY will have 24 hour access to CITY-owned Utility Facilities located in STATE Limited Access. In an emergency, the STATE shall cooperate with the requests of the CITY, to facilitate CITY's response to the situation in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. In situations of non-emergency, the CITY will have access to CITY-owned Utility Facilities as outlined in paragraph 10. 10. Construction and Maintenance of Utility Facilities in Non-Emergency Situations . A. The CITY has the right to install, construct, alter, repair, operate, improve and maintain all CITY-owned Utility Facilities, including appurtenances associated with this Permit. The CITY has the right to replace any of the permitted Utility Facilities with facilities of the similar size or configuration, in the same location as the originally-permitted Utility Facilities without requesting a change to this Permit. B. The CITY shall provide the STATE fifteen (15) business days written notice prior to commencement of maintenance activities under this Permit, and at least forty-five (45) business days written notice prior to commencement of construction activities under this Permit. In both cases, the CITY shall submit to the STATE work plans depicting the work to be performed by the CITY and shall coordinate with the STATE (WSDOT NW Region Maintenance Engineer) during these time periods. The STATE will make all reasonable effort to provide a letter of authorization to the CITY within fifteen (15) business days for maintenance activities and sixty (60) business days for construction activities. C. Prior to the beginning of construction, a preconstruction conference shall be held, at which time the STATE, the CITY, and appropriate engineers and inspectors shall be present. D. A copy of this Permit must be posted on the job site, and protected from the elements, at all times during any construction authorized by this Permit. E.

All signs and traffic control devices must be maintained in operation during construction. F. Prior to construction, the CITY shall contact the STATE representative to ascertain the location of survey control monuments within the project limits. In the event any monuments will be altered, damaged or destroyed by the project, appropriate action will be taken by the STATE, prior to construction, to reference or reset the monuments. Any monuments altered, damaged or destroyed by the CITY's operation will be reset or replaced by the STATE at the sole expense of the CITY. G. During the construction and/or maintenance of the utilities, the CITY shall comply with the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways" as it may exist at that time, as well as any applicable Washington statues or regulation. Any closure or restriction of the Limited Access Facility requested by the CITY pursuant to this Permit shall require the CITY to submit a traffic control plan for the STATE's timely approval. The timely approval will be commensurate with the scope of the work proposed. Except in case of emergency, no work pursuant to this Permit can be performed on the XXX until the STATE has approved the traffic control plan. H. Should the CITY choose to perform the work outlined herein with other than its own forces, a representative of the CITY shall be present at all times unless otherwise agreed to by the STATE representative. All contact between the STATE and the CITY's contractor shall be through the representative of the CITY. Where the CITY chooses to perform the work with its own forces, it may elect to appoint one of its own employees engaged in the construction as its representative. Failure to comply with this provision shall be grounds for restricting any further work by the CITY within the STATE right of way until said requirement is met. The CITY, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all construction work by itself, its contractor, subcontractor, agent, and others, so as not to endanger or injure any person or property. I.

The exact location of the Limited Access limits is still not completely defined, and SPU and SCL will likely have pre-existing infrastructure that will fall within the Limited Access area. In addition, there are utilities that will be replaced or relocated that may be installed in areas of Limited Access, though there is a strong preference to limit these occurrences. The Franchise/Utility Permit conditions outlined below would not apply to the building of utility new facilities within the Limited Access areas. Utility Permit Conditions The Washington State Department of Transportation ("STATE") hereby grants to the ______ ("CITY") the non-exclusive permission to use a portion of the ______, situated in Seattle, Washington. The rights herein granted are subject to all other easements and permits affecting the lands subject to this Permit. 1. Background . The Proposed Bored Tunnel Project (Project) replaces State Route 99 from South Royal Brougham Way to Roy Street and consists of designing and constructing a four-lane bored tunnel from South King Street to Thomas Street; north and south tunnel portals and access streets; re-establishment of the CITY street grid in the vicinity of the portals; and associated utility relocations. The Project is located in Seattle, which is a very densely developed urban environment, with utility infrastructure that has been woven into the fabric of the CITY. There is no alternative but to have the portals associated with the Project emerge into CITY street right of way where CITY owned Utility Facilities currently reside. The cost of purchasing right of way outside of these CITY streets is prohibitive, and the STATE has no choice but to declare portions of the CITY right of way as a Limited Access Facility as part of this Project. This Permit addresses the situation where CITY owned Utility Facilities will have to be modified, incorporated, or replaced in newly-designated Limited Access Facility, which was once CITY street right of way that formed part of STATE Route 99 as provided in RCW 47.24.010 and RCW 47.24.020. The STATE has endeavored to limit the scope of instances where CITY-owned Utility Facilities are relocated into Limited Access Facility or where the Limited Access Facility incorporates existing CITY-owned Utility Facilities. 2. Purpose . The purpose of the Permit is to provide for the location, operation, maintenance, replacement, modification, and repair of all existing CITY Utility Facilities, including, but not limited to, wires, pipelines, fibers, cables, communications devices and associated facilities and equipment both at or belowgrade owned by the CITY. The location of the Utility Facilities is within portions of the areas legally described in Exhibit A, and depicted on Exhibit B, each of which is attached and incorporated by reference. 3. Reservation . This Permit shall not be deemed or held to be an exclusive one and shall not prohibit the STATE from granting rights of like or other nature to other public or private utilities, nor shall it prevent the STATE from using any of its roads, streets, or public places, or affect its right to full supervision and control over all or any part of them, none of which is hereby surrendered. 4. Term . The Permit shall have a duration of fifty (50) years, and shall be renewed upon request in writing to the STATE and shall contain the same terms and conditions as this permit, unless otherwise requested by the City and approved by the STATE. The Permit, and shall be transferable to any third party fulfilling the function of CITY, and the third party shall have all of the same rights, obligations, and benefits herein provided to CITY. 5. Permitted Users . The STATE acknowledges that CITY may choose to allow its agents, contractors, employees, lessees, successors and assigns use of the lands subject to this Permit for the intended purpose. The rights, title, privileges and authority hereby granted in this Permit shall continue and be in force until such time as the CITY, its successors and assigns, shall permanently remove all Utility Facilities from the area or permanently abandon the Utility Facilities. 6. Relocation of Utility Facilities . Due to the fact that there are no reasonable alternative locations within which to relocate the CITY-owned utility facilities, and further due to the STATE's obligations to mitigate damages and limit Project costs, there may be a need to relocate the CITY-owned Utility Facilities within the STATE's Limited Access Facility. Whenever necessary for the construction, repair, improvement, alteration, or relocation of any portion of Project in Limited Access as determined by the STATE, or if the STATE shall determine that the removal of any or all Utility Facilities from the said lands is necessary, incidental, or convenient to the construction, repair, improvement, alteration, or relocation of the public road or street located in the STATE's Limited Access Facility, the CITY shall, upon written notice by the STATE, relocate or remove any or all of such Utility Facilities from the Limited Access Facility as may be required by the STATE. The STATE agrees to pay the full reasonable costs of such relocations and agrees to give the CITY 3 years advance notice of the needed relocations in order for the CITY to adequately plan, design and construct the relocations. In the event CITY fails to remove or relocate the Utility Facilities within a reasonable time, the STATE may undertake such removal or relocation, at the sole expense of the STATE and with all necessary coordination with the CITY. 7. Maintenance, Replacement, Repair, and Modification . All maintenance, replacement, repair, and modification of the Utility Facilities by CITY, for that area depicted on Exhibit B, shall be done in such manner as will cause the least interference with any of the STATE's performance in the operation and maintenance of XXX. All costs for such work shall be at the sole expense of the CITY, unless the need for such work is caused by the STATE. Any replacement or modification of existing Utility Facilities, within the area depicted on Exhibit B, that require the placement of above-ground facilities, shall require the issuance of an additional Utility Permit by the STATE for such construction of above-ground facilities,, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall conform with the Control Zone guidelines referenced in WAC 468-34-170 and WAC 468-34-350. 8. Restoration of Highway . Except as set forth in paragraph 6 above, the CITY agrees, at its own expense, to restore paving, grading, landscaping and other improvements damaged by CITY's activities under this Permit to at least as good a condition as such paving, grading, landscaping and other improvements were in immediately prior to the CITY's commencement of work. All material and workmanship shall conform to the Washington State Department of Transportation Standard Specification for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction, as it may exist at that time, and may be subject to inspection by the STATE. Upon failure, neglect, or refusal of the CITY to timely restore the highway as required of the CITY, the STATE may undertake and perform such restoration, at the sole cost and expense of the CITY. 9. Emergency Access to CITY-Owned Utility Facilities . In the event of an emergency, the CITY will have 24 hour access to CITY-owned Utility Facilities located in STATE Limited Access. In an emergency, the STATE shall cooperate with the requests of the CITY, to facilitate CITY's response to the situation in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

In both cases, the CITY shall submit to the STATE work plans depicting the work to be performed by the CITY and shall coordinate with the STATE (WSDOT NW Region Maintenance Engineer) during these time periods. The STATE will make all reasonable effort to provide a letter of authorization to the CITY within fifteen (15) business days for maintenance activities and sixty (60) business days for construction activities.

All signs and traffic control devices must be maintained in operation during construction. F. Prior to construction, the CITY shall contact the STATE representative to ascertain the location of survey control monuments within the project limits.

All contact between the STATE and the CITY's contractor shall be through the representative of the CITY. Where the CITY chooses to perform the work with its own forces, it may elect to appoint one of its own employees engaged in the construction as its representative. Failure to comply with this provision shall be grounds for restricting any further work by the CITY within the STATE right of way until said requirement is met. The CITY, at its own expense, shall adequately police and supervise all construction work by itself, its contractor, subcontractor, agent, and others, so as not to endanger or injure any person or property.
