The City intends to provide consistent review comments. If inconsistent comments are discovered, the City will resolve the inconsistencies immediately upon written notice from Sound Transit. The City will promptly take corrective action to avoid any added costs to Sound Transit as a result of such inconsistencies and avoid providing similar inconsistent comments on future reviews. 3.11. Sound Transit Response to City Review Comments and Resolution of Issues 3.11.1. The City will submit formal written comments consolidated by Seattle Department of Transportation to Sound Transit for each of the 30%-, 60%-, 90%-Complete Submittals within the timeframe specified in Section 3.9. Sound Transit must address and respond to every written comment submitted by the City. Depending on the number and magnitude of comments by the City on the 90%-Complete Submittal, Sound Transit shall work with City staff to resolve all issues through, among other means, conducting one-on-one meetings, making additional plan sheet revisions and obtaining approval by concurrence memos or meeting minutes, conducting a key stakeholder group plan review session, or advancing the issue to the next level of administration to resolve the issues in a timely manner. The Seattle Department of Transportation shall notify Sound Transit in writing when all outstanding design issues have been resolved based on the 90% Complete Submittal comments. Both the City and Sound Transit shall work collaboratively to get issues resolved in a timely manner prior to Sound Transit delivering the 100%-Complete Submittal to the City for approval. Plan approval is a prerequisite to issuance of the Project Construction Permit by Seattle Department of Transportation under the Agreement Between the City of Seattle and Sound Transit for Grant of NonExclusive Use of a Light Rail Transit Way as Related to the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project (authorized by Ordinance 119975). 3.11.2.

When written notice of acceptance of the 100% Complete Submittal is given to Sound Transit, Seattle Department of Transportation will invite Sound Transit to submit full-size vellums of all the Drawings for signature. 3.11.4. The cost associated with generating the Project Construction Permit is based on time and materials, which are reimbursed through this, and previous, agreements. A final processing/filing fee of $94.00 will be invoiced for each construction contract's Project Construction Permit. 3.12. DCLU Review and Issuance of Permits The City and Sound Transit will implement a fast track permit process for DCLU construction and land use approvals. Permit applications to DCLU shall be handled pursuant to the expedited permitting process established by DCLU for handling Sound Transit permit applications. 4.0 PROJECT DESIGN TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS Certain principles shall be applied by Sound Transit to the greatest extent practicable to achieve certain goals of the City regarding maintenance and operation of the facilities constructed by Sound Transit. These principles are discussed in the following subsections. 4.1. Minimize City Maintenance and Operational Costs The Project shall be designed to the greatest extent practical to minimize any increase in City maintenance and operation costs directly caused by the Project. Prior to the issuance of construction permits, Sound Transit and the City shall develop formal agreements, in accordance with overall policy direction established by the Sound Transit Board and the City, to clearly delineate ongoing maintenance and operational responsibilities that are likely to be experienced by the City as a direct result of the Project or operation of the resulting light rail system. Such issues and costs include but are not limited to the reconstruction or realignment of any street, sidewalk, bikeway or utility facility or system; the re-timing or other modifications of existing traffic signals; and the installation of new traffic signal, signage, lane markings, street lighting, sidewalk lighting, or pathway lighting within the construction limits of the Project. 4.2. Project Design to Minimize Travel and Access Disruptions The Project shall be designed to the greatest extent practical to minimize disruptions to City businesses and residents during construction. To achieve that result, Sound Transit and the City shall work cooperatively with representatives of businesses and neighborhoods affected by the Project. The Project shall also be designed to ensure that: 4.2.1. The number of streets in contiguous blocks that are closed or permitted to have severely restricted vehicular or pedestrian traffic during the Project's construction phase is minimized, either by construction being undertaken at varying times of day, in geographic stages, or through other means; 4.2.2. Emergency vehicle, utility maintenance vehicle and fire protection vehicle access to every business and residence adjacent to the Project construction area, and pedestrian access to each such residence, and to each such business, during its normal business hours, are preserved at all times; 4.2.3. Vehicular access for types of vehicles other than those identified in Subsection 4.2.2 to every residence adjacent to the Project construction area is preserved except when construction requirements necessitate the complete blockage thereof; and 4.2.4. Reasonable prior notice is provided to directly affected property owners, business tenants and neighborhood residents of any loss or change of access to or from their respective properties, tenancies and residences, indicating the expected duration of such loss or change, and alternatives that are available to those affected by such loss or change. 5.0 REIMBURSEMENTS 5.1. Sound Transit's Maximum Funding Obligation Sound Transit's maximum funding obligation under this Fifth Supplement for the reimbursable services described in Exhibit 2 shall be $1,347,000. Sound Transit shall not be obligated to reimburse any expenditure in excess of the maximum amount stated in this section, unless authorization is received from its Board of Directors and upon the execution of a new supplement or an amendment of this Fifth Supplement upon such terms and conditions as are approved by the Board. Should estimated costs at any time, for any reason, exceed the amount covered by this Fifth Supplement, the City shall notify Sound Transit without delay. 5.2. Budget Sound Transit shall reimburse the City for services delivered and work performed under the scope of work of this Fifth Supplement. The amount set forth above and in the budget provided in Exhibit 3, which is attached to this Fifth Supplement and incorporated herein by reference, reflects the Parties' best estimates of the amounts that may be required to accomplish the reimbursable tasks under this Fifth Supplement. Sound Transit and the City recognize that the cost of delivering such services and performing such work have been estimated based on assumptions stated in Exhibit 2 and information from each Party, and the Parties recognize that the reallocation of effort based on actual needs may be necessary should Sound Transit change planned activities. The City shall endeavor to manage the expenditures of departments and offices engaged in work under this Fifth Supplement so that the maximum obligation of Sound Transit is not exceeded. 5.3. Reimbursement of City Costs. 5.3.1. Principles for Determining Eligible Reimbursable Costs. The following principles shall be applied to determine what costs are reimbursable by Sound Transit. * The costs are directly related to the Project and must be essential to meeting Project objectives and schedule. * Tasks must clearly add "essential value" to the Project. * Tasks and the deliverable or product must be clearly described in writing. * The approach and system used to complete the task should be as efficient and cost-effective as possible (even if it means doing things differently). * Tasks indirectly related to implementing the Link Light Rail Project may be encouraged/supported by Sound Transit, but will not be funded by Sound Transit. * Tasks will not duplicate an activity already programmed or covered by Sound Transit, another City department, a third party or consultant where possible. * Reimbursement will not be made for activities that are normally performed by the City in conducting business with other entities in connection with public projects, such as provision of information and/or documents, review of Environmental Impact Statements, that the City would normally perform without charge. 5.4. Reallocation of Unexpended Funds Funds not expended by Sound Transit during the period of this Fifth Supplement may be reallocated by Sound Transit to additional Central Link Light Rail Project activities as defined in future supplements or agreements. 5.5. Approval of Excess Expenditures Sound Transit and the City agree to the following rules for increases in Task Budgets: A. The City may expend up to the estimated cost of each budgeted Task delineated in Exhibit 3. B. As a condition of payment of any costs in excess of the amount shown for any of the budgeted Tasks provided in Exhibit 3, written approval shall be requested by the City in a timely fashion, and approval or disapproval shall be provided by Sound Transit in writing. Written approval must be granted before the excess costs are incurred. C. If unforeseen circumstances cause the projected total cost to exceed the total cost of any Task, the City will take all prudent steps to minimize costs and notify Sound Transit as soon as possible. D. Upon receipt of notice from the City regarding unanticipated costs or cost increases, Sound Transit shall promptly provide a written response, which may (1) approve or reject the proposed increased expenditure, (2) re-adjust the scope of work, or (3) authorize the use of contingency amounts budgeted for this Fifth Supplement. Any expenditures that exceed the maximum amount authorized for this Fifth Supplement shall require further authorization by Sound Transit's Board of Directors. 5.6. Invoicing by City The City will invoice Sound Transit on a quarterly basis based on actual expenditures. Within thirty (30) calendar days after Sound Transit's receipt of any complete and accurate City invoice, Sound Transit shall remit the reimbursement for the amount of valid expenditures. 5.7. Reimbursement by Sound Transit Quarterly reimbursements for eligible expenditures under this Fifth Supplement shall be made upon the satisfactory completion of the work. The City shall initiate the process for reimbursement of its expenditures by preparing, reviewing and submitting requests for reimbursement to Sound Transit in accordance with the procedures in this Subsection and any other applicable regulations provided to the City's Designated Representative. Sound Transit shall not transfer nor be obligated to transfer any funds in advance of its approval of a request for reimbursement of completed work. All reimbursements shall be made under the following procedures: 5.7.1. Reimbursement of the eligible costs shall be made upon approval by Sound Transit. All work submitted shall be reasonably certified as acceptable by Sound Transit before final payment. 5.7.2. To be entitled to reimbursement for the satisfactory performance of the activities identified in this Agreement, the City must provide documentation of all expenses eligible for reimbursement to Sound Transit as required by this Fifth Supplement or by the applicable federal requirements. Sound Transit reserves the right to withhold payments pending timely delivery and proper completion of the reports or documents as may be required under this Fifth Supplement. 5.7.3. The City shall supply to Sound Transit an invoice of costs incurred for the period and progress reports for each department including departmental costs in total and by category and a description of work performed. 5.7.4. Invoices shall bear the name and address of the City's Designated Representative, and reference this Fifth Supplement. Invoices must be signed by an authorized representative of the City who shall verify that the invoice is accurate, the services have been purchased or the work has been performed, and that the costs shown have been reasonably incurred in accordance with this Fifth Supplement. Invoices shall be properly completed and accompanied with documentation as required by Sound Transit. 5.8. Addresses for Invoicing and Reimbursement. A. To secure payment the City shall submit all invoices, required reports, and documentation to the Designated Representative of Sound Transit at the address provided in or pursuant to Section 2.4. B. Reimbursements will be paid directly to the City to the attention of the Designated Representative of the City at the address provided in or pursuant to Section 2.4. 6.0 ADMINISTRATION 6.1. Monitoring and Reporting of Progress The City is committed to work efficiently and will closely monitor the time required to complete work products consistent with the scope of work and budget for the Project. The City shall provide clear, accurate and detailed monthly progress reports to Sound Transit. The City shall work with Sound Transit to further refine its progress reporting, accounting and program management system to ensure useful and descriptive information that complements Sound Transit's Project control system. The City and Sound Transit shall provide active, ongoing oversight to ensure that Sound Transit funds are expended efficiently, in a manner that adds value to the Project. 6.2. Monitoring and Reporting of Costs 6.2.1. The City's Designated Representative, or other designated City official, shall coordinate requests for reimbursements by all City departments and offices and will provide cost reports to Sound Transit on a quarterly basis. In addition, Sound Transit may require other financial documents to verify that the expenditures are related to the Project work funded by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (1) work statements or payroll records, (2) invoices for materials and supplies, (3) statements from professionals for services rendered, (4) certifications by the City that materials and services are satisfactorily rendered, and (5) itemized listings of the charges supported by copies of original bills, invoices, expense accounts, and miscellaneous supporting data retained by the City. 6.2.2. The City shall provide any plans, specifications, accounting records or other documents needed to satisfy requests from federal funding agencies for information to comply with Sound Transit's funding requirements. The City shall inspect all work performed under this Agreement and ensure that payments requested for reimbursement are eligible under this Agreement. 6.3. Reconciliation Both Parties agree to monitor and reconcile the actual versus estimated effort on a quarterly basis. The Parties will negotiate additional funding or a reduction in services relating to the Project to the extent that such work cannot be performed within the estimated budget for the services delivered and work performed. Sound Transit will rely on information contained in the City's progress reports to identify changes in the work as reported on by the City in order to have the opportunity to take corrective action or clarify assumed work efforts. Notwithstanding the above, if the permit approval work performed by DCLU (for which payment is to be on an hourly rate in lieu of value-based construction permit fees) exceeds the estimated amount, Sound Transit shall pay the additional charges without further negotiations. 6.4. Availability of Records. All project records in support of all costs incurred and actual expenditures kept by the City shall be maintained in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Washington State Auditor's Office and the applicable Federal funding agencies. The records shall be open to inspection by Sound Transit and the Federal government during normal business hours, and shall be retained and made available for such inspection for a period of not less than three years from the final payment of any federal aid funds to the City. Copies of said records shall be furnished to Sound Transit and/or the Federal government upon request. This requirement shall be included in all subcontracts related to the work entered into by the City to fulfill the terms of this Fifth Supplement. 6.5. Audit. If an audit is requested by Sound Transit or required by any applicable federal agency requirements, the City agrees to cooperate fully with Sound Transit's auditor, any independent auditor chosen and retained by Sound Transit for auditing expenditures under this Fifth Supplement or previous Supplements, or with any audit required by the federal funding agency, if applicable. At the time of a federal audit, if required, the City will provide documentation of all costs incurred under this Fifth Supplement or previous supplements. 6.6. Third Party Contract Administration Each Party shall be solely responsible for the administration of and the completion and quality of work performed under any contracts executed by the Party. In no event shall any contract executed by a Party be construed as obligating the other Party to this Fifth Supplement. All contracts shall comply with all applicable public works and procurement laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, bonding, prevailing wage, nondiscrimination, retainage, insurance, and workers compensation requirements. 7.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS The Parties remain committed to resolving issues cooperatively, expeditiously, and at the lowest possible staff level. However, as provided for in the April 20, 1998 MOA, the following is the agreed upon process for dispute resolution: 7.1. General The Designated Representatives will use their best efforts to resolve disputes and issues arising out of or related to the tasks covered by this Fifth Supplement. The Designated Representatives will communicate regularly to discuss the status of the tasks to be performed and to resolve any issues or disputes related to the successful performance of this Fifth Supplement. The Designated Representatives will cooperate in providing staff support to facilitate the performance of this Fifth Supplement and the resolution of any issues or disputes arising during the term of this Fifth Supplement. 7.2. Notice of Problem or Dispute and Meeting of Designated Representatives Each Designated Representative will notify the other in writing of any problem or dispute that the Designated Representative believes should be resolved. The Designated Representatives shall meet within three (3) Working Days of receiving the written notice in an attempt to resolve the dispute. 7.3. Meeting of Directors In the event the Designated Representatives cannot resolve a dispute (and that dispute is not subject to some other formal appeal process), the Sound Transit Executive Director or his/her designee and the Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation or his/her designee shall meet within seven (7) Working Days of receiving notice from a Designated Representative and engage in good faith negotiations to resolve the dispute. 7.4. Prerequisites to Litigation Neither Sound Transit nor the City shall have the right to seek relief under this Fifth Supplement in a court of law until and unless each of the procedural steps specified in Subsections 7.2 and 7.3 have been completed. 8.0 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL FUNDING REQUIREMENTS. 8.1. Compliance. The City agrees to comply with applicable federal funding requirements of which it is specifically informed, in connection with its receipt of funds from Sound Transit to perform certain tasks under the MOA and its supplements. 8.2. Federal Contract Provisions. The work performed by the City's contractors shall comply with federal contract and funding requirements to the extent the City is notified of federal grant requirements and to the extent federal funds are utilized by the City under this Fifth Supplement. All contracts entered into by the City shall include such provisions as required by the Federal Transit Administration ("FTA") to be included in thirdparty contracts. 9.0 EXERCISE OF CITY'S POLICE POWER Sound Transit recognizes the right vested in the City pursuant to general law to exercise its police power for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens and their properties. Nothing in this Fifth Supplement shall be construed as precluding the City from exercising such power in connection with Sound Transit's light rail system except as specifically provided in this Fifth Supplement, and then, only to the extent this Fifth Supplement expressly precludes such exercise. 10.0 PRIORITY FOR STATE OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS The time period required for performance of services under this Fifth Supplement, other than due dates for payments for services rendered or work performed by the City, shall be extended to include the length of any delay caused by or resulting from the prohibition or restriction of such action by the State or Federal government, or any fire, earthquake, flood, storm, power failure, major equipment breakdown, war, labor trouble, accident, riot, act of Nature, or other event beyond the reasonable control of the Party obligated to perform such services; provided, that the Party adversely affected by such condition shall promptly advise the other Party, in writing, of the occurrence of an event of force majeure and make a reasonable attempt to satisfy its obligations hereunder notwithstanding the event of force majeure. 11.0 LEGAL RELATIONS 11.1. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each Party to this Agreement shall protect, defend, indemnify, and save harmless the other Party, and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, while acting within the scope of their employment, from any and all costs, claims, demands, judgments, damages, or liability of any kind including injuries to persons or damages to property, which arise out of, or in any way result from, or are connected to, or are due to any negligent acts or omissions of the indemnifying Party. No Party shall be required to indemnify, defend, or save harmless the other Party if the claim, suit, or action for injuries, death, or damages is caused by the sole negligence of the Party seeking indemnification. Where such claims, suits, or actions result from concurrent negligence of the Parties, the indemnity provisions provided herein shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of the Party's own negligence. Each Party agrees that its obligations under this indemnification section extend to any claim, demand, and/or cause of action brought by, or on behalf of, any of its employees or agents. For this purpose, each Party, by mutual negotiation, hereby waives, with respect to the other Party only, any immunity that would otherwise be available against such claims under the industrial insurance provisions of Title 51 RCW. In the event of any claims, demands, actions and lawsuits, the indemnifying Party upon prompt notice from the other Party shall assume all costs of defense thereof, including legal fees incurred by the other Party, and of all resulting judgments that may be obtained against the other Party. In the event that any Party incurs attorney fees, costs or other legal expenses to enforce the provisions of this section, all such fees, costs and expenses shall be recoverable by the prevailing Party. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 11.2. Venue In the event that any Party deems it necessary to institute legal action or proceedings to enforce any right or obligation under this Fifth Supplement, the Parties hereto agree that any such action or proceedings shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction situated in Seattle, King County, Washington. 11.3. Effective Date. This Fifth Supplement shall be effective as of September 1, 2003.

Attachment 1 Fifth Supplement to the Memorandum of Agreement for Intergovernmental Cooperation Ver 5, 09-22-03 t Exhibit 2 SCOPE OF WORK FIFTH SUPPLEMENT To the April 20, 1998 MOA for Intergovernmental Cooperation between Sound Transit and the City of Seattle for the Central Link Light Rail Project September 2003 1.0 Introduction This scope of work describes City tasks and deliverables necessary to facilitate Sound Transit's final design and implementation of Link Initial Segment. Under this Supplement, the City agrees to provide project management, expedited design review, recruitment and training of police officers, expedited permit processing, and right-of-way transfer management. The scope of services defined in this Supplement will commence September 1, 2003 and conclude December 31, 2004. Modifications to this Scope of Work may be made by mutual agreement between the Parties. 2.0 Scope of Work 2.1 Task 1 Project Management The City will continue to employ two tiers of project management. The Seattle Transportation's Core Team constitutes the first tier of project management. It is comprised of the City's Program Manager, Assistant Program Manager, Design Review and Permitting Manager, Program Administrator, and consultants. SDOT's Core Team will: * Provide management, oversight and coordination of Project-related City activities to help ensure services are provided in an efficient and effective manner. * Coordinate Citywide design review and permitting activities. * Issue Project Construction Permits as prescribed by Ordinance 119975. * Facilitate resolution of Project policy and design issues. * Manage the City's Fifth Supplement budget and administer monthly progress reporting, quarterly invoicing, and other City financial accounting responsibilities. * Provide a coordinated point of contact for Sound Transit. * Track and implement the City's Project mitigation commitments. * Represent the City on the Case Management Group in conjunction with DCLU and Sound Transit to review private property development issues resulting from the Project. The second tier of management is comprised of managers representing the Seattle Transportation (SDOT), Seattle City Light (SCL), the Department of Design, Construction and Land Use (DCLU), Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), the Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks), the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) and the Seattle Police Department (SPD). These managers coordinate the activities of their departments and represent their departments on all Central Link Light Rail Project (Project) matters. Departmental Project Managers will: * Oversee his/her department's activities as defined in this Fifth Supplement and the companion Construction Services Agreement. * Ensure that the City has done whatever it reasonably can to help Sound Transit become permit-ready. * Serve as their department's liaison to Sound Transit. * Manage resolution of design, permitting, construction and real estate issues. * Coordinate notification of private utilities about relocation. * Provide fiscal management of their department's activities. * Provide procurement assistance, including the development of a preliminary signal prioritization scheme for MLK to support procurement of signal equipment. * Participate in joint City/Sound Transit committees to further project implementation, including Fire Life Safety Committee, Utilities and Construction Committee, and Permit Management Work Group. * SCL's project manager will manage the planning and design of electrical transmission and distribution system relocations along the Project alignment. * SCL's project manager will also coordinate services among SCL's three service centers, power stations, and systems planning office, various City departments, and Sound Transit to efficiently and safely design and construct necessary improvements in support of the Project. * SFD's Project Manager will participate in development of national standards related to fire protection and life safety of light rail through the NFPA 130 Technical Committee on Fixed Guideway Transit Systems. * SPD's Project Manager will assist Sound Transit in planning and preparing for Sound Transit's law enforcement needs as they relate to Project construction and future operations. * SPD's Project Manager will promote Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) by incorporating the considerations in their review comments. * SDOT's Project Manager will manage the City design team working on the Chief Sealth Trail Design and coordinate design activity with Sound Transit. * SDOT's Project Manager will manage the preparation of scope, schedule, and budget estimates for implementing Opticom on Rainier Avenue South. 2.2 Task 2 Design Review The City of Seattle will review Project design submittals in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Fifth Supplement.

The specific formal design submittals anticipated for the term of this Agreement are listed below: * C500 DSTT 100% submittal * C520 Pine Street Stub Tunnel 60% submittal * C520 Pine Street Stub Tunnel 90% submittal * C520 Pine Street Stub Tunnel 100% submittal * C710 Beacon Hill Tunnel 100% submittal * C720 Beacon Hill East Portal to Walden 100% submittal * C735 MLK 100% submittal * C755 MLK south of Norfolk 60% submittal * C755 MLK south of Norfolk 90% submittal * C755 MLK south of Norfolk 100% submittal * C802 Signalization 90% submittal * C802 Signalization 100% submittal * C803 Communications 90% submittal * C803 Communications 100% submittal * C807 Traction Power 90% submittal * C807 Traction Power 100% submittal The City will provide a timely review of all submittals for compliance with all applicable current City codes including but not limited to: Uniform Building and Mechanical Codes, Land Use Code, ADA requirements, site drainage, grading, environmentally critical areas, energy codes, and Seattle Design Guidelines for Link Light Rail. DCLU will incorporate the recommendations of the Seattle Light Rail Review Panel (LRRP) in each formal submittal review. DCLU will also provide consolidated comments on behalf of three City commissions: Design, Planning, and Arts. 2.3 Task 3 -Seattle Police Recruitment and Training The SPD is required to recruit and train additional officers to accommodate the traffic control, security and safety requirements associated with Project construction. Sound Transit's partial funding of recruiting, training and equipping new officers is budgeted, tracked and invoiced as Task 3. 2.4 Task 4 -Private Property Permitting by DCLU Sound Transit and the City have recognized a need to provide tailored permitting assistance to private property owners and businesses whose property or business requires DCLU land use and/or building permits to overcome impacts from Project implementation. DCLU staff will provide this permitting assistance through continued participation in the Case Management Group, as well as direct contact with impacted individuals and businesses at the DCLU office. The budget for Task 4 was established assuming six (6) properties require permits for structural modifications, and fifty (50) businesses require permits for relocations, including permits for tenant improvements. 2.5 Task 5 Sound Transit Permits by DCLU DCLU will provide coordinated review of all Sound Transit land use permit applications. DCLU will facilitate resolution of permit issues with other City departments as needed. DCLU will assist Sound Transit with permit submittals to ensure applications are complete. DCLU staff will work with Sound Transit to identify ways of expediting the permit process for the Project. Regarding the Master Use Permit processes, at a minimum, DCLU will endeavor to meet the following goals: * Issue all MUP project numbers upon receipt of Address/Records Worksheets. * Accept Plot Plans with the best available Sound Transit survey description when the Seattle Engineer's Maps lack sufficient information. * Ensure delivery of Pre-Application Site Visit Request Forms and Plot Plans to the Site Development Desk in a timely manner. * Issue a Site Inspection Report within 5 to 10 working days upon receipt of the Pre-Application Site Visit Request Form and Plot Plan. * Endeavor to schedule MUP Intake Appointments within 5 to 10 working days of the request by Sound Transit contingent upon receipt of a completed Site Inspection Report. * Accept MUP applications at Intake although Plot Plan issues remain unresolved. * Work with Sound Transit staff and consultants, and legal advisors on resolving Plot Plan issues during the MUP review process to avoid delay in MUP issuance. * Determine whether MUP applications are complete within two weeks of Sound Transit submitting the MUP applications; * Notify Sound Transit promptly of the need for changes or additional information, and maintain regular communication with Sound Transit staff, during the permit process. * Issue a MUP decision within four months after the City required public comment period has expired; and * Provide Sound Transit draft MUP decisions and notices of applications for review prior to publishing. 2.6 Task 6 Right-of-Way Transfer Review and Coordination SDOT will implement the City's responsibilities as established in the intergovernmental Property Acquisition and Transfer Procedures Agreement. Task 6 includes the evaluation of Property Acquisition Proposals and Transfer Proposals, as well as proactive measures to develop SDOT's expectations for the form of right-of-way interest acquired and transferred, and the environmental condition of the property at time of transfer. Sound Transit is responsible for all due diligence and acquisition activities as established in the Property Acquisition and Transfer Procedures Agreement. Therefore, Task 6 excludes such activities including title research, efforts to resolve special exceptions, environmental investigations and remediation, development of legal descriptions, and preparation of real estate documents. 3.0 Assumptions 3.1 Basis of Scope and Budget Estimate The City has developed the proposed scope and budget based on current knowledge of the schedule, Sound Transit's design and permitting progress to date, and the scope of work associated with the Construction Services Agreement and the Utility Undergrounding Agreement. 3.2 Assumptions. In addition to those assumptions stated elsewhere in this Fifth Supplement, the following assumptions have been used in estimating the effort required to provide the Scope of Work. * These estimates are for work to be performed in direct support of the Project. * These estimates are for work within the City's jurisdiction (including work on property and facilities owned by the City outside of Seattle). * Estimates are based on the parties adhering to the definitions of 30%-, 60%-, and 90%-Complete Submittal as outlined in the Fifth Supplement. * Formal design submittals will transpire in substantial compliance with the schedule provided in Exhibit 1. * All DCLU permit activities established as Task 5 will conclude before January 1, 2004. * All SCL design, design review, and construction services, including design of temporary and permanent electric service connections for Sound Transit facilities, are provided through other agreements between the City and Sound Transit. * Sound Transit will pay the standard permitting fees which will not exceed the hourly rate set in the DCLU Fee Ordinance, except with respect to facilities not in the right-of-way such as the Operations & Maintenance Facility (for which a value-based permit fee shall be charged, based on the square foot values set forth in the most current Building Standards publication, as otherwise noted in the Permitting Manual or as negotiated). Sound Transit shall pay fees for other types of permits according to the DCLU Fee Ordinance, including but not limited to the following. The fees for these permits are not a part of the funding described in this agreement. In all cases, services will be paid for either though DCLU fee ordinance or pursuant to this agreement, but not both. Certain building permits -such as connections from stations to existing buildings, commercial tenants within the stations, and shoring of adjacent existing buildings Electrical permits, including systems facilities Land use permits Noise-related permits Permits at portals to the Beacon Hill Tunnel (pending completion of environmental review to determine appropriate permitting mechanisms) * The estimated budget for Task 5 is based on the following assumed DCLU permit activities by Contract Section. Sound Transit's Permit Schedule Initial Segment Matrix Revision 14 is the source of the outstanding permit activities reflected below. In addition to the permits listed below, DCLU will be issuing electrical permits. DCLU's costs for administering electrical permits will be reimbursed through electrical permit fees.
