Rick Neal, Superintendent
Model Irrigation District #18
1424 S Pierce Rd
Spokane Valley, WA 99206
Subject: Support for Funding of 32nd Avenue Transmission Main — Pines Rd to Clinton
Rd, Model Irrigation District #18
Dear Mr. Neal,
The City of Spokane Valley strongly supports Model Irrigation District #18's funding
application to the Public Works Board for its 32°d Avenue Transmission Main Project.
The city does not own or operate a public water supply system and regularly teams with Model
Irrigation District #18 to provide our residents and businesses with safe and cost-effective
services, whether that be transportation, potable water or both. Our collaborative efforts have
resulted in efficient project delivery that minimizes the overall cost and/or construction impact to
ratepayers by maximizing the economies of scale through a shared project delivery method.
Currently, Spokane Valley has a project that overlaps with the proposed 32"d Ave. Transmission
Main project scheduled for the 2026 construction season. The city is looking to provide
pavement rehabilitation, add new pedestrian crossings, and extend its Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) fiber network. The project area is a residential community that includes a popular
city park and a large school campus that includes a high school, middle school, and elementary
school. The city has delayed its improvements so that the construction work could include the
proposed water improvements.
This project is a great example of inter -agency collaboration, and its delivery relies on the Public
Works Board's consideration of this grant request. Please accept this letter as the City's support
for the district's project that will ensure health and safety for Spokane Valley as our population
continues to grow.
Sincerely,
Tim Hattenburg, Deputy May
On behalf of the Spokane Valley City Council

City Council Speech 7/15/2025
Title: A Tale of Two Cities
Good evening, Councilmembers, Deputy Mayor Hattenburg, and City Leadership.
Ben Lund, 37 year resident
Thank you, Councilmember Merkel, for finally letting the public see what your
agenda has been for the last 19 months.
CM Merkel recently asked on Nextdoor:
"Do you want a Mayor?"
He's referring to switching Spokane Valley to a strong mayor system —where one
person holds full executive power —instead of our current council—manager
model.
Let's look at what that really means, through a Tale of Two Cities:
City #1: Airway Heights
In 2000, Airway Heights voters rejected the strong -mayor model. They adopted a
council—manager form, and that change took effect in 2002.
Why it matters:
• Keeps management professional and non -political
• Distributes authority across elected councilmembers and a city manager
• Promotes stability, transparency, and accountability
This is the structure most successful mid -size cities in Washington use today.
City #2: Spokane
Spokane went the other way in 2001, switching to a strong -mayor system. What
followed?
• Frequent leadership turnover
• Budget deficits
• Worsening homelessness
• A lack of consistent direction
These are the very problems that come from placing too much power in one seat.
Now ask yourself:
Do we want Spokane Valley to follow that same path?
What do cities like Spokane, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Chicago, and New York have in common? They all operate under strong -mayor
systems —and all face chronic dysfunction.
Is that what we want Spokane Valley to look like, feel like, and operate like?
Our current system works. It may not be perfect —but it's effective, accountable,
and professionally managed. It keeps political ambitions in check and prioritizes
stable, fact -based leadership.
So why do you think CM Merkel and his followers be pushing so hard to change
that? Why is he trying to "stack the deck"?
This isn't about improving government. It's about consolidating power. And we —
the citizens —need to call it out.
3 more days until the CM court case.
Thank You,
Ben Lund

BACKGROUND: The Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project will grade separate the BNSF
tracks from Pines Road (SR-27) by constructing an underpass (Phase 1) and realign Pines Road
(SR-27) to the east, replace the signalized intersection of Pines Road (SR-27) and Trent Avenue
(SR-290) with a multi -lane roundabout, and construct a new trailhead for the users of the
Centennial Trail (Phase 2). This is the largest project the city has delivered to date.
The project has secured full funding from several different sources including the following:
Consolidated Rail Infrastructure & Safety Improvements (CRISI)
$
1,246,500
Surface Transportation Program (STP)
$
3,795,000
Congressional Discretionary Spending (CDS)
$

Rebuilding American Infrastructure w/ Sustainability & Equity (RAISE)
$
21,689,221

$
5,000,000
BNSF Estimated Contribution
$
297,094
Construction began on Phase 1 of the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project in February
2025. Phase 2 of the project advertised for bids on June 6, 2025. The project advertised in the
Valley Herald, The Exchange, and the Spokesman Review, as well as on the City Website. The
City received and opened four bids on June 27, 2025. The bid tabulation is attached.
After review, it was determined by City staff that there were issues with the completeness of the
paperwork in all of the bid packets submitted at the bid opening. Based on concerns related to
bidder irregularities and feasibility of awarding the project without delay, staff recommends
rejecting all bids and rebidding the project. Per the Contract Plans and Documents for the project,
including the specifications therein, the City reserved the right to reject any and all bids. This
authority stems from state law, and City's adopted municipal code. City Council has the power to
reject all bids and to make further calls for bids in the same manner as the original call. Rejecting
all bids will allow staff to rebid the project and stay on schedule.
OPTIONS: 1) Move to suspend the rules and adopt Resolution 25-015 rejecting all bids for Pines
Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project and authorizing further calls for bids for the same, or 2)
take other appropriate action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to suspend the rules and adopt Resolution 25-
015, Pines Rd/BNSF GSP rejecting all bids for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project
and authorizing further calls for bids for the same.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The project is fully funded with a combination of local, state
and federal funds. The total project budget is approximately $48 Million.

RESOLUTION NO.25-015
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
REJECTING ALL BIDS FOR THE PINES GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT
AND AUTHORIZING FURTHER CALLS FOR BIDS FOR THE SAME, AND
OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City advertised the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project, CIP 0223 (the
"Project") for bids on June 6, 2025, and the City received and opened four bids on June 27, 2025; and
WHEREAS, upon review by City staff, multiple bid proposals were found to contain
irregularities, and the City received multiple protests during the review process; and
WHEREAS, the prime purpose of public bidding is to receive the best work for the most
reasonable prices for the benefit of the taxpayers, and secondarily, to provide a fair forum to bidders; and
WHEREAS, at least one bidder has indicated its intent to seek redress in court over irregularities
if the Project is awarded to another bidder. Such an action would prevent the City from moving forward
with the Project until that litigation would be resolved, thus holding the project in abeyance, potentially
causing the City to miss the 2025 construction season, and increasing costs to the taxpayers and
inconvenience to the citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 35.23.352, Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 3.40.010(B),
and the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in the Contract Documents and Plans for the
Project, the City is authorized to reject all bids and re -advertise the same; and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the best interests of the City and its citizens, and to provide a fair
forum to all bidders, the City desires to reject all bids and re -advertise the Project as soon as practicable.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County, Washington as follows:
Section 1. The statements in the above recitals are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. All bids received for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project, CIP 0223 (the
"Project") are hereby rejected in accordance with RCW 35.23.352 and SVMC 3.40.010(B), and the City
Manager or designee is hereby authorized to re -advertise and make further calls for bids for the Project in
the same manner as the original call for bids.
Section 3. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption.
Adopted this 15th day of July, 2025.
