09/14/2026 Land Use/Transportation Committee

The City of Federal Way Land Use and Transportation Committee met on September 14, 2026, to discuss several procurement and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related items included authorization to bid on unit price contracts for guardrail and concrete barrier services, and sidewalk and curb replacement, each with a not-to-exceed amount of $350,000 over three years. The committee also reviewed and authorized moving forward with the design and bidding of the Lakota Berm stormwater infrastructure project, with a budget of approximately $5 million funded by the SWIM fund. Additionally, the committee approved a resolution to transfer the Hyper Fiber of Washington franchise to Eaton Fiber of Washington LLC, allowing continued fiber optic infrastructure deployment in the city. The meeting concluded with a discussion on potential amendments to the city’s sign code to ease restrictions on business signage, with plans to revisit the topic in early 2027 due to the complexity and staff workload considerations. Motions to forward procurement authorizations and franchise transfer resolutions to the City Council consent agenda were unanimously approved.
