WSDOT - I-405 SR 520 to SR 522 September 2004 Quarterly Project Report

I-405 - Kirkland Nickel Stage 1 - Complete November 2007
*Quarterly Project Report Update for Quarter Ending September 2004*

Project Title & Location I-405/SR 520 to SR 522 in Kirkland	Project Description This project combines Kirkland Nickel Stage 2 and Transportation Partnership Account (TPA) components to add a continuous northbound and southbound lane between SR 520 and SR 522. Stage 2 adds one northbound lane from NE 70th Street to NE 85th Street, and one southbound lane from SR 522 to NE 124th Street and from NE 85th Street to the SR 520 area. TPA projects add a northbound lane from NE 124th Street to SR 522 and from NE 195th Street to SR 527.
Contractor/Consultant HNTB Corporation is the lead consultant of the General Engineering Consultant Team.
Recent Progress Engineering for this Nickel project is 50% complete toward the Design/Build package for the Request For Proposal (RFP). Development of Request for Contractor Qualifications (RFQ) submittals 80% complete. Right-of-way needs have been assessed. Purchases expected from willing sellers over next 4 months.
Design Construction Impacts This is a widening project that will be constructed in two stages. Stage 1 provides one additional lane in both the northbound and southbound directions from NE 85th to NE 124th. Stage 2 provides one additional northbound lane from NE 70th to NE 85th and one additional southbound lane from SR 522 to NE 124th and from NE 85th to SR 520.
Environmental Impacts / Compliance Completed 17 of 21 discipline reports for internal review. Continue Multi-Agency Permitting Team (MAPT) coordination and review for project permits. Expect to submit JARPA and all other permit applications to MAPT Oct. 6, 2004. Submitted corridor wide Land Use Analysis to FHWA and the Services August 2004.	Impacts to Traffic Widening work is to the outside of the existing roadways so it is expected that Impacts to the traveling public can be minimized during construction. Close coordination continues with the adjacent Sound Transit direct access project: I 405 Totem Lake Freeway Station/ NE 128th.
