NEW BUSINESS Purchase of Kostar property on the North Side of the Stillaguamish River for Future Potable Well Site Public Works Director Jim Kelly requested Council approve the property purchase for the Haller North Wellfield Project. The City of Arlington has been looking for future potable well site locations for many years. Following a test well exploration regime that involved the installation of five test wells, four on the South side of the Stillaguamish River and one on the north side, it was determined that the one well site on the north side of the Stillaguamish River was the best option for long-term water production. This site provides protection from river surface water influence and provides an area for a wellhead protection zone. The test well proved that there is good water quality and a good producing aquifer approximately 98 ft below the surface. Negotiations with the property owner have been finalized for a five-acre parcel purchase. The final sale price agreed to is $1,200,000, with the city paying $1,000,000 and a donation of $200,000 by the seller; the property appraised price is $1,300,000. Councilmember Yvonne Gallardo-Van Ornam moved, and Councilmember Rob Toyer seconded the motion that the City of Arlington approve the Kostar, LLC property purchase and authorize the mayor to sign the property procurement documents, subject to final approval by the City Attorney. The motion passed unanimously. Procurement of Right-of-Way and Temporary Construction Easement From Bellin Investments for the 180th Roundabout Project Public Works Director Jim Kelly requested Council authorize staff to pursue the right of way procurement for the 180th St Roundabout Project. The City received a grant for the design of improvements to the Smokey Point Blvd Corridor from 174th St to 200th St. A grant was later received for construction of the 180th St Roundabout which will be the second portion of this project to be constructed. As part of the 180th Street Roundabout Project, the City needs to obtain ROW and TCE from 5 parcels; the parcel below has been offered and accepted for final ROW purchase.

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS AND PRESENTATIONS None. WORKSHOP ITEMS – NO ACTION WAS TAKEN Condemnation Ordinance for the 180th Street and Smokey Pt. Boulevard Roundabout Project Public Works Director Jim Kelly reported that Arlington received a grant from Puget Sound Regional Council for the design and construction of a roundabout at 180th Street and Smokey Point Boulevard as part of the Smokey Point Boulevard Corridor improvement project. This project design is near completion and will be bid early summer. As part of the roundabout project, the City needed to obtain Right of Way (ROW) and Temporary Construction Easements (TCE) from several parcels; all parcels have been acquired except for a property located at the southwest corner of the intersection. The property owners have rejected fair, above market offers for the needed ROW and TCE. Construction of this intersection project will provide for mobility and safety, it is for the good of the public and community; as such, we are now moving to obtain the ROW and TCE through condemnation proceedings. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions. Minutes of the Arlington City Council Workshop Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Workshop April 13, 2026 Page 2 of 3 Position Request for Water Treatment Plant Operator Public Works Director Jim Kelly reported that the Public Works Water Department is requesting a new full-time employee Water Treatment Plant Operator I position to perform duties essential to the operation of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The WTP expansion project underway and nearing construction, getting an additional WTP operator hired and trained ahead of time is critical. The Department of Health will require the plant to be staffed with an additional operator once the WTP Expansion is completed; this would have been added in the 2027-2028 budget during the budget development process later this year. Staff is requesting the position be advertised early and approved by council in order to be fully staffed during construction of the expansion and to also be fully prepared with trained operators when the WTP Expansion goes on-line in 2027. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions. Change Order No. 2 for Water Treatment Expansion Design Public Works Director Jim Kelly presented Scope of Work (SOW) and Fee Estimate from BHC for Amendment No 2 for design services for the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Expansion Design for Phase 2. This scope of work and fee estimate from BHC is for additional fees necessary for completing the Water Treatment Plant Expansion design. To keep up with increasing water demand in the Water Utility’s water service area, the Water Utility needs to expand capacity at the Haller Wellfield and to the Water Treatment Plant. In 2023 the City contracted with BHC for the WTP expansion design work (30%-100%), this included the final design to project bidding. Due to multiple unanticipated issues during design (liquifiable soils, numerous existing underground utilities, old 1924 WTP no records, extended filter train design/procurement with Canadian form, etc.), an amendment is being requested to bring the construction package to 100% and ready for bidding. With this scope and fee, BHC will generate final design and bidding documents for the WTP Expansion and provide project management and oversight up to public bid. This project is identified in the Water Comprehensive Plan and has been budgeted for 2024-2027. Utilities and Transportation Quarterly Report Public Works Director Jim Kelly presented the Public Works Quarterly Report and Project Update to Council. The report provided a review of current personnel, regulatory, maintenance and project issues affecting Public Works’ Transportation, Utilities, Cemetery, Engineering, GIS and Administration departments for the first quarter of 2026 and start of second quarter 2026. Community and Economic Development Quarterly Report Community and Economic Director Amy Rusko presented the first quarter report for the Community and Economic Development Department (CED). The report addressed review work conducted by the CED Department and current development projects. Discussion followed with Ms. Rusko answering Council questions.

BHC Consultants, LLC City of Arlington Signature: Tom Giese Vice President Signature: Don E. Vanney Mayor Date Date March 13, 2026 James X. Kelly, PE, Public Works Director City of Arlington 10408 144th Street East Arlington, WA 98374 Re: Amendment Proposal to Complete Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Expansion Phase 1 Final Design Dear Jim, Under our original Professional Services Agreement for the subject project executed in December 2023, BHC has provided engineering design services for the City’s WTP expansion that has now reached the estimated 90 percent completion review stage. The design documents (plans, specifications, and estimate, or PS&E) are scheduled to be in City review this month, with submittal of the design package to the City’s Building Department and Washington State Department of Health (DOH) scheduled after City design comments have been received and appropriately incorporated. The project is now scheduled for bidding in the Fall of 2026. Unanticipated Efforts During Design Development During the course of design development, a few key sources of information needed to establish necessary criteria to advance the design required additional unanticipated investigation and coordination effort beyond what had been scoped. We believe these efforts were merited and imperative to identifying value- engineered design solutions for project excavations, enhancing design of the structural foundation to meet or exceed its life expectancy given the discovered site conditions and the latest seismic code requirements, reducing risk through identification and coordination with existing buried utilities not picked up by the City’s surveyor that the contractor will encounter during construction, and more assistance with negotiation and finalization than had been scoped for a City pre-selected treatment package to be manufactured by AWC Solutions (AWC) in British Columbia. More specifically, the required efforts included: 1.Geotechnical Investigations and Report. Geotechnical studies to support facility design were contracted by the City separately with the intent of delivering a report establishing project structural design criteria for the BHC design team. The report and finalized criteria were requested within BHC’s scope by April 2024 to have adequate time to incorporate recommendations and provide a 60 percent design deliverable by June 2024, as originally scheduled. The first draft geotechnical report was issued in August 2024 and included recommendations for soldier pile shoring systems to support excavations and a full pin pile foundation system for adequate lateral load support of the new building in liquifiable soils. In an action that proved to offer significant project cost benefit through estimated construction savings, the City engaged a second geotechnical engineer to perform a peer review of the original report. This effort identified geotechnically acceptable modifications to original system EXHIBIT A City of Arlington Amendment Proposal to Complete WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design March 13, 2026 Page 2 recommendations in the form of reducing the length of the shoring system by excavating the entirety of soils between the existing and new buildings, as well as reducing the scope of the foundation to a partially battered, micro pile supported system, both of which offer significant savings beyond the value of this amendment. The peer review memorandum was released in February 2025, stalling the development of structural and site civil disciplines, as well as delaying elements of other discipline design, until well beyond the originally scheduled 90 percent deliverable milestone of September 2024. The revised geotechnical report that incorporated the findings of the peer review (and further clarified structural criteria for which BHC requested direction) was not released until February 2026. BHC had been advancing its structural design as much as possible via email communications and geotechnical criteria confirmations in advance of this document’s finalization. 2.Project Site Existing Utilities Locating. The City also separately engaged professional services to perform the project site survey and develop base mapping for the design. Again, to support intended original deliverable milestones and work products, the base mapping was requested by April 2024. BHC reviewed first base mapping files delivered in July 2024 and noted many unlocated buried facilities missing from the mapping but believed to exist. Based on BHC review comments, the surveyor performed additional field work and provided updated base mapping in September 2024. Some of the missing utilities were located and added, but others remained missing. The revised base mapping also included inconsistencies with utility connections and vertical measurements. BHC added the remaining missing buried utilities to the base mapping by using other source records, differentiating these added items to note that they were not picked up in the base map survey and their locations need to be field verified by the contractor. Although the created composite base mapping allowed BHC site civil work to begin development in earnest, continued efforts were made to address the inconsistencies, including a final field investigation that BHC participated in with City staff on in April 2025 to address inconsistencies involving storm and drainage infrastructure. 3.Pre-Selected Treatment Equipment Package Coordination. At the onset of the preliminary design phase of this project completed in 2022, AWC was pre-selected as the manufacturer to provide this project’s treatment system package for commonality with the existing WTP and for ease in guiding the regulatory approval process. A proposal was received during this phase, with an updated proposal, finalization of the equipment package, and delivery of electronic drawings for the equipment imperative to the new treatment building’s layout and full process design development. During the design development efforts performed in 2024, AWC offered some assistance in providing answers on equipment package questions and potential funding program compliance alternatives, as well as organizing a manufacturing plant visit for the City. In order to complete its design support to BHC and issue the needed drawings for incorporation into design, however, AWC requested contract authorization for the continued design support efforts. The City issued this EXHIBIT A City of Arlington Amendment Proposal to Complete WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design March 13, 2026 Page 3 authorization in June 2025, and ongoing equipment package support from AWC continued until BHC received electronic equipment drawings in late November 2025. The connection of mechanical process piping and associated treatment equipment support systems could not be substantially completed before these files were received. Additionally, the layout of the treatment equipment needed to be coordinated with other disciplines to avoid space conflicts. As a result, the delays in the AWC design elements substantially stunted overall design progress. The overall impact of these elongated efforts on BHC’s design process resulted in some substantial unanticipated changes to document development. •BHC submitted an “uneven” set of 60 percent design completion documents to the City to demonstrate progress in August 2024, 2 months delayed from the originally intended submittal date. In reality, many of the disciplines included with the submittal were well below the 60 percent complete level, as survey base mapping, geotechnical/structural design criteria, and full AWC equipment electronic files were not yet available. City comments on the package were received in November 2024. •To again demonstrate design development per City inquiry and attempt to expedite disciplines already behind schedule, BHC submitted an unanticipated “catch up” or “70 percent” set design documents in May 2025 that expanded the erosion control, demolition, temporary construction and site civil plans with then-established base mapping information, as well as limited design of the building interior. As AWC drawings were not yet available at this time, process mechanical and electrical design to be built off of that information were still not achievable. •When AWC drawings became available in November 2025, BHC engaged in a rigorous effort to develop design documents to the full 90 percent level in the most expeditious fashion staffing availability could permit. The intent was to try to limit further schedule elongation and reach the City and regulatory review period at a date that maintained the City’s desire to bid the project in Fall 2026. The expanded staffing resources used to promote this objective and consolidate the development of remaining design discipline elements that were now more than a year behind schedule resulted in 3 months of elevated labor billings. Though BHC’s initially authorized budget was not exceeded through internal billing expenditures until December 2025, it masked the tremendous design effort that still remained to attain both 90 and 100 percent completion project milestones. The expenditures to that point also included the additional communication and coordination efforts that BHC undertook to ultimately assist in the completion of needed design support materials such as the base mapping, geotechnical/structural criteria and recommendations, and AWC design package drawings (where much of those expenditures were intended instead for technical design development). EXHIBIT A City of Arlington Amendment Proposal to Complete WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design March 13, 2026 Page 4 Project Budget Status As summarized in recent email communications to you and confirming what was expressed in early December 2025, BHC exceeded the originally authorized project budget with the end of the December 2025 invoicing period. The City negotiated our initial fee based on a best case streamlined design effort that did not materialize despite our best efforts. We have voluntarily chosen to continue design efforts without yet having received an amendment in our pledge to advance project schedule and remain strong partners with the City through the completion of this extremely important legacy project. With this letter, we are again summarizing our budgetary status and requesting authorization of additional design budget via letter amendment. Numbers below are through January 2026, with estimated efforts remaining from that point through the bidding period projected (revised subconsultant proposals incorporated) as follows: 1 Authorized Budget $833,700 2 BHC/Subconsultant Internal Billings thru January 2026 $1,017,400 3 Current Budget Deficit (Item 2 – Item 1) $183,700 4 $16,000 5 $25,300 6 Proposed Additional BHC Efforts to Bid Opening (see attached Fee Estimate) $91,100 7 Proposed Additional Architectural Sub Efforts to Bid Opening $27,700 8 Proposed Additional HVAC/Plumbing Efforts to Bid Opening $5,400 9 $349,200 10 $1,182,900 11 Break-Even Cost on BHC Billings thru January 2026 $853,900 12 Break-Even Cost on BHC Estimated Efforts to Bid Opening $75,200 13 Estimated Subconsultant Cost w/ Amended Budgets (no BHC administrative markup) $165,300 14 $1,094,400 EXHIBIT A City of Arlington Amendment Proposal to Complete WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design March 13, 2026 Page 5 Two totaled values are presented in the table – an Amended Contract Value ($1,182,900) based on projected expenditures which includes a small percentage profit with approved fee estimate rates, and a Total Projected Break-Even Cost ($1,094,400) on the project for BHC. The breakeven cost is calculated by taking the sum of the hourly salary charges for each employee on the project through January 2026, BHC’s most recent overhead cost as a multiplier of those salary charges to cover company expenses (such as office space leases, employee benefits, furniture, and computer equipment), and the amended contract values of our subconsultants that is directly reimbursable to them (no BHC markup). By agreeing to an Amended Contract Value that is less than the Break-Even Cost, BHC would be using its cash reserves to pay the remaining BHC employee salaries and overhead costs obligated to the project. BHC would obviously not remain a viable business if it made a common practice of accepting such contractual terms. BHC recognizes that some efforts expended on this project by our design team have not always been as efficient as planned and in some cases are not attributable to unanticipated efforts or the extended project schedule. We have been open with the City in discussing the challenges with project staffing consistency and focus on project objectives. BHC has already written off some of these project efforts with the close of its 2024 fiscal year and both of the above proposed amendments would require further substantial write- offs to complete our scope of work through the bidding period. Requested Amendment Value BHC is requesting an amendment value of $260,000 to complete design and bidding assistance, raising the approved budgetary limit from the original value of $833,746 to $1,093,746. At this revised value, BHC would be projected to break even on the project if efforts are efficient in closing out the design and bidding phases, but BHC also cannot agree to a value up front that would knowingly result in its losing money. The remaining estimated BHC project billings of $89,200 or greater will be written off if not already done in 2024. We believe the revised value is still a competitive fee for the magnitude and complexity of this project. We continue to enjoy the partnership we have built with the City on this project and to value the importance of its completion to present and future generations of the Arlington community. We hope that the offer presented herein is understandable and fair. The estimated BHC and subconsultant fees to complete the design and bidding phases are presented by attachment to this letter for your review. BHC’s estimate is a repeat of labor estimates for the 90 to 100 percent completion phase of the project (which assumes City comments on the 90 percent deliverable do not add to or change the project scope) and the bidding period assistance that were included within our original agreement, with rate adjustments to recognize the 2026 salaries of employees that continue to be involved with the project. Bidding assistance, per City request, has been minimized with the estimate and no standard subconsultant markup has been applied. Should the City request more assistance than is budgeted, we can track the charges and recoup that effort in a subsequent contract for engineering services during construction. Information from our business management and timesheet accounting software that was used to establish break-even values can be made available upon request.

Sincerely, BHC Consultants Authorization: I approve this letter proposal for additional BHC engineering design services associated with the Water Treatment Plant Phase 1 Expansion in the amount of $260,000, amending the project budget to a new not- to-exceed value of $1,093,746. With this authorization, I also approve the extension of original agreement terms to a revised expiration date of December 31, 2026. ______________________________________ _____________________________ _____________ Signature Title (print) Date (print) Attachments: Exhibit B – Budget – City of Arlington WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design Amendment Exhibit C – Rolluda Architects – City of Arlington WTP Architectural Design/Documentation Additional Services Fee Proposal Exhibit D – FSi Engineers – Proposal for Professional Services – Arlington WWTP Ph 1 Expansion Add Services EXHIBIT A Exhibit B - Budget City of Arlington WTP Expansion Phase 1 Final Design Amendment 3/10/2026 Architect Mechanical Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Hours Cost Rolluda Fsi 10% Markup 1 Project Management and QA/QC 1.1 Project Setup, Invoicing, Client Communication 20 $5,500 6 $900 $0 26 $6,400 $6,400 1.2 Project Team Coordination $0 0 $0 $0 1.3 QC Reviews 8 $2,200 8 $2,200 $2,200 Subtotal 34 $8,600 5 Bid Document Preparation 5.5 Final Drawings 9 $2,448 16 $4,080 24 $3,720 33 $7,920 10 $1,800 38 $7,030 29 $4,433 68 $10,540 56 $8,400 283 $50,371 $50,371 5.6 Final Specifications 6 $1,623 3 $867 4 $573 6 $1,440 $0 4 $740 9 $1,457 9 $1,395 42 $8,095 $8,095 5.7 Opinions of Probable Construction Cost 8 $2,200 8 $2,040 10 $1,550 8 $1,920 10 $1,800 16 $2,960 24 $3,720 84 $16,190 $16,190 Subtotal 408 $74,656 6 Services During Bidding (Estimated on As-Needed) 6.1 Pre-Bid Meeting 6 $1,650 8 $1,480 $0 14 $3,130 $3,130 6.2 Bidder Questions and Addenda 4 $1,100 6 $1,530 $0 2 $480 8 $1,480 $0 20 $4,590 $4,590 6.3 Assistance with Bid Evaluation 0 $0 $0 Subtotal 34 $7,720 8 $2,200 53 $14,520 33 $8,517 38 $5,844 49 $11,760 20 $3,600 74 $13,690 62 $9,610 68 $10,540 56 $8,400 6 $900 9 $1,395 476 $90,976 $0 $0 $0 $90,976 Other Direct Costs Mileage @ $0.725 per mile $116 Production/Printing and Scanning Platform Fees Subtotal $116 Markup @ 10%$0 TOTAL ODC $116 GRAND TOTAL $91,092 Total CostSubconsultant Cost BHC Consultants Engineer Sr Structural Total LaborStaff Engineer Electrical Staff Eng.

HISTORY: Arlington received a grant from Puget Sound Regional Council for the design and construction of a roundabout at 180th Street and Smokey Point Boulevard as part of the Smokey Point Boulevard Corridor improvement project. This project design is near completion and will be bid early summer. As part of the roundabout project, the city needed to obtain Right of Way (ROW) and Temporary Construction Easements (TCE) from several parcels; all parcels have been acquired except for a property located at the SW corner of the intersection. The property owners have rejected fair, above market offers for the needed ROW and TCE. Construction of this intersection project will provide for mobility and safety, it is for the good of the public and community; as such, we are now moving to obtain the ROW and TCE through condemnation proceedings. ALTERNATIVES: Remand to staff for additional information.

All of these positions are currently either up for renewal or vacant. For the City Council representative and committee chair position, the Mayor has appointed Yvonne Gallardo-Van Ornam. One individual representing the hotel/motel side of the committee has expressed interest in continuing to serve on the committee: Rachel Ralson, representing Hotel Services Group (Best Western). Ms. Ralson has been a valuable contributor, providing hotel industry insight that has led to process improvements within the program. Historically, it has been difficult to find hoteliers willing to serve on the committee. At this time, no other individuals representing local hotels/motels have expressed interest. Staff will continue efforts to identify an additional hotelier to serve on the committee. Two individuals have expressed interest in serving on the LTAC as representatives of businesses actively involved in activities eligible for lodging tax funding. Michele Heiderer, representing the Stillaguamish Valley Museum, is interested in continuing on the committee for another two-year term. Matt Bass, who would represent the Downtown Arlington Business Association (DABA) and Windermere Arlington, has also expressed interest in joining the committee. Both Michele and Matt bring valuable perspectives based on their respective areas of expertise and would be strong additions to the committee.
