What the records say
In materials published ahead of the Dec. 8, 2025 meeting, the record said the city was scheduled to consider a proposal to authorize the mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 4 with Otak, Inc. 1 The agreement is meant to provide continued support for the 156th Street NE Improvement Project, covering the segment from Smokey Point Boulevard to Hayho Creek. 1 The recommended motion called for the mayor to sign and execute the agreement. 1 The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.
- The meeting was scheduled to consider authorizing the mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 4 with Otak, Inc.
- The agreement covers continued support for the 156th Street NE, Smokey Point Boulevard to Hayho Creek Improvement Project.
- The recommended motion was to authorize the mayor to sign and execute the agreement.
- The negotiated cost for the additional work is $145,035, bringing the new maximum payable to $642,555; the scope includes responding to contractor requests for information, pricing change orders, reviewing submittals, and geotechnical support during construction.
Why it matters
The record indicates the supplemental agreement is needed for Otak to continue supporting the project through the construction phase. 1 If the council did not approve it, the city would lack the contracted engineering support for that work, which could affect the project's progress. Because this is a pre-meeting record, we only know what was proposed, not whether the proposal was approved.
