Statement of Qualifications Murray Morgan Bridge Rehabilitation Design-Build Project Specification No. PW10-0128F Submitted to: Purchasing Office, Tacoma Public Utilities 3628 South 35th Street, Tacoma, WA 98409 June 8, 2010 Tab No. 1 - General Company Information & Team Structure Murray Morgan Bridge Rehabilitation Design-Build Project Project TAB NO.1 - GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION AND TEAM STRUCTURE Kiewit Pacific Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kiewit Infrastructure Group, Inc., will be the contracting party for this project, as indicated on Forms 3 and 4 in Tab No. 4 - Appendix C. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, none of the officers of Kiewit Pacific Co. (Kiewit) own stock. Incorporated on May 18, 1982, we can trace our history back to 1884, when Peter and Andrew Kiewit formed Kiewit Brothers, an Omaha masonry contracting partnership. Today, we are part of one of North America's largest and most respected construction and mining organizations. We take our place in the corporate structure of our parent company, Kiewit Infrastructure Group Inc., alongside Kiewit Construction Company and Kiewit Southern Co. Our affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as those of our parent company, operate from a network of offices throughout North America. We draw upon the Kiewit Corporation’s collective experience and personnel to assemble the strongest team possible for a given project. Therefore, work experience of such affiliates and subsidiaries is relevant in demonstrating our capabilities. For the Murray Morgan Bridge, we are supplementing our local talent with extensive moveable bridge expertise from our east coast operations, Kiewit Constructors, Inc. We are also utilizing our local subsidiary, General Construction Company (General), for mechanical and electrical expertise.

Not reviewed or approved on behalf of any party. Subject: 350 Seattle Transportation Team Scoping Comment for Ballard Link station April 1st, 2019 Please consider this scoping comment for the Ballard Link station, and include in scoping all light rail routes that could potentially be the most economical way to maximize ridership and Transit-Oriented development, and then choose the alternative that best optimizes for these two critical factors. Scoping should take into consideration the effect of light rail decisions on climate. To that end, light rail stations should be situated where they will attract the most riders, and where the most housing is and will be constructed, accelerating emission reductions. Ridership ​ and the opportunity for dense transit-oriented development should be top priority because: ● The most recent IPCC climate report makes it clear -- we have very little time to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions -- roughly a dozen years to reduce GHG emissions by 40-50%( https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/) ​ ​ ● Personal transportation accounts for half of Seattle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions ( http://greenspace.seattle.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SeaClimateAction_April2018. pdf). ​ ● Many if not most people cannot afford electric cars, and we can’t achieve these emissions targets without getting most of us out of our cars and onto transit. ● Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) allows more people to live where they can have a low-carbon commute. It represents our best chance for accommodating Seattle’s continued growth without sprawl that counteracts our other efforts toward GHG reduction.

Ziegler, P.E. 2702 South 42nd Street, Suite 201 Director Tacoma, Washington 98409-7322 [email protected] piercecountywa.org/pwu TO: Dan Roach, Chair Pierce County Council FROM: Deb Wallace, Airport and Ferry Administrator DATE: October 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Airport Security The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide an update to Council on the status of security upgrades at Pierce County's airports. Current Situation: The Pierce County Airport and Ferry division is in the process of upgrading gate access, fencing, and security lighting at both airports. In 2015 the division will implement an Airport Watch program to increase the safety and security at each facility. The improvements are being made due to incidents which have occurred at the airports over the last several years and at the request of airport tenants. Currently both airports are fenced with restricted access gates to enhance security, although there are gaps in the fencing allowing unauthorized pedestrian entry. These gaps will be addressed in early 2015. An electronic gate is being added to the north gate at Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) and the south gate is being outfitted with a mechanism to allow its use by those who are hearing impaired. Once that improvement is completed, 24 hour security will be implemented at TIW. Thun Field currently operates with 24 hour gate security. Prior to implementation, the airport commissions at each airport discussed airport security measures during the preceding year and staff coordinated the implementation of the security measures with airport tenants.

    Early Scoping Summary Report

    Early Scoping Summary Report April 2018 West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions Summary Purpose Sound Transit conducted early scoping for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions (WSBLE) Project in Seattle, Washington, from February 2 through March 5, 2018. The early scoping started the public planning and environmental processes for the project. This report describes how Sound Transit conducted early scoping and summarizes the comments received from local and regulatory agencies, tribes, and the public during the early scoping period. This information will be considered by Sound Transit as it identifies and studies alternatives for the WSBLE Project. The Early Scoping Process Sound Transit published an early scoping notice in the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) register on February 2, 2018, which initiated early scoping and started the 30-day comment period. Additional public notification was provided with mailed postcards, print and online advertisements, and social media notices. Three public open houses and an agency meeting were held during this comment period, as well as an online open house from February 12 to March 5, 2018. Sound Transit requested comments on the purpose and need, the Representative Project, other potential alternatives, and potential community benefits and impacts. Comments were accepted by mail, email, online comment forms, and on comment boards and maps at the open houses (both in person and online).
