The Bothell City Council approved a professional services supplement (No. 4) with WSP USA for the Bothell Way Northeast Multimodal Improvements Project at its Dec. 16 meeting.
Staff presented the contract amendment and said full packet materials were available to council prior to the vote. Councilmember Kurd disclosed that her husband works as a senior vice principal at WSP USA, said legal review found no conflict of interest, and stated she would abstain from voting to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The council proceeded to consider the motion.
Councilmember Dodd moved the recommended action and a colleague seconded. The city clerk called the roll; the motion was recorded as passing 5–0, with Councilmember Kurd recused and Deputy Mayor Alcobara absent and excused.
The transcript records the approval but does not list contract dollar amounts or the detailed scope changes; staff referred councilmembers to the packet for contract details. The council’s action authorizes the contract amendment so staff can continue work on the multimodal improvements project under the supplemental professional services agreement.
