08/03/2026 Land Use/Transportation Committee

The City of Federal Way Land Use/Transportation Committee met on August 3, 2026, to discuss several procurement and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related items included the acceptance of the fiber optic loop project constructed by Canon Construction LLC, completed under a contract authorized for up to $2.15 million but coming in nearly $29,000 under budget. The committee approved forwarding this project for city council consent agenda approval. Another significant agenda item was the approval to advertise the SR99 at South 373rd Street Roundabout and Access Management project, with an estimated design cost of about $1 million and a total project budget around $7 million. The committee authorized staff to proceed with design and bidding, moving the item to the consent agenda. Additionally, the committee approved a $50,000 increase in contract authority for the 2024 ADA retrofit program within the existing budget. Policy discussions included amendments to the city code for rough grading permits and sign code clarifications, which could impact future development and signage procurement. The meeting also featured a detailed presentation on the city’s pavement management program, highlighting funding needs and maintenance strategies, though no direct procurement actions were taken on that topic. Overall, the meeting focused on advancing capital improvement projects, contract approvals, and code amendments relevant to city infrastructure and development.
