FEMA Floodplain Appeal & Mill Ditch
Flood Hazard Mitigation Evaluation

CITY OF BOZEMAN –FEMA FLOODPLAIN APPEAL & MILL DITCH FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION EVALUATION
1.0 Project Scope
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
CITY OF BOZEMAN –FEMA FLOODPLAIN APPEAL & MILL DITCH FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION EVALUATION
1.1 –Project Understanding
It is our understanding that the City of Bozeman is seeking proposals from firms offering
professional civil engineering services to:
1.Prepare technical information necessary to mount a formal appeal of FEMA-
designated floodplains in the downtown Bozeman area recently mapped by FEMA under
a new flood study for Bozeman Creek;
2. Prepare a flood hazard mitigation evaluation of Mill Ditch; and
3.Incorporate the new Bond Street Bridge into the hydraulic model for the new flood
study and update flood mapping in the vicinity.
It is our understanding the recent FEMA flood study was prepared using 1-dimensional hydraulic
modeling while the City would prefer a hydraulic model which is 2-dimensional based and
therefore more appropriate in a complex urban setting such as downtown Bozeman.
2-dimensional hydraulic flood modelling predicts depth averaged 2-dimensional velocity and
water surface elevations and combines LIDAR, channel bathymetry and surface roughness into a
velocity field while 1-dimensional analysis uses an approach of only assuming an upstream and
downstream flow direction at a particular channel cross section and a steady state flow analysis.
This project will require both hydrologic analyses to determine discharge-frequency relations
and hydraulic models to determine the extent of floodwaters and the elevations associated with
the water-surface of each flood frequency studied.An acceptable watershed-based study may
include multiple hydrologic and hydraulic methods and models, but those methods and models
must agree at the transition points between them. Gaps between analyses are to be analyzed and
addressed as a rule, but in certain watersheds there may continue to be some gaps in analyses for
low-risk areas.
It is our understanding that the City of Bozeman has mapped out several of the high-risk areas on
their GIS database and we will pay close attention to which areas have historically flooded.
C&H Engineering and Surveying, Inc. (C&H Engineering)has completed several flood plain
delineations on Bozeman Creek and our past experience in this watershed makes us familiar with
the hydraulic characteristics encountered here.Hydraulics will be performed for an entire stream
segment when that stream is selected for study. This means that unstudied areas (or gaps)
between studied stream segments must be studied unless those gaps consist of a valid study that
ties into the new study. There can be different levels of study for the different stream segments,
as long as all the models tie-in.
Unsteady flow analyses of the floodplain require the development of hydrographs using
hydrologic models of the watershed. However, the majority of the effective FISs are based on
peak flow discharges estimated along the stream reach and steady flow hydraulic analyses of the
floodplain.Hydrologic analyses are performed to determine flood discharge-frequency relations
in a watershed.We understand that there are three options as outlined by FEMA for achieving
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
CITY OF BOZEMAN –FEMA FLOODPLAIN APPEAL & MILL DITCH FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION EVALUATION
the hydrologic analysis:Stream gage analysis;Regional regression equations;and Rainfall-
runoff models. It is our understanding that the third: rainfall-runoff models is likely the most
applicable in this situation where storage behind bridges and culverts is a concern along with
high road embankments; these features can be reflected in the hydrologic analysis.
1.2 –Project Approach and Work Plan
Our particular approach to this project would be to generate a LIDAR based model using HEC
RAS 5.0. For the hydrologic portion of the analysis we would develop peak storm flows using
the approved FEMA hydrologic software for use on urban watersheds for the appropriate size of
watershed being examined.Once a working model is developed we would further look at gaps
in the LIDAR surface; for example,the Bond Street Bridge,and focus on this area for hydraulic
analysis. C&H Engineering would use our as-built data along with supplemental surveying data
to analyze the Bond Street Bridge and develop a revised floodplain delineation for this portion of
Bozeman Creek. For hydraulic model development at the Bond Street Bridge,a 1-dimensional
model may be more accurate given the more defined channel here.C&H Engineering would
survey additional creek cross sections as required to accurately define the channel geometry and
supplement the overall LIDAR based model with a more fine-tuned analysis at high risk
locations.
For the Mill Ditch Flood Hazard Evaluation we would look at this particular watershed
separately to identify problem areas and strategize on potential flood mitigation options. It may
be that channel geometry adjustments and additional flood infrastructure improvements may be
warranted to reduce the flood risk at Mill Ditch. We also understand that currently proposed
road crossing improvements are also required to be considered during the study.
1.2 –Capability to Meet Budget and Time Management
As the construction season is soon coming to an end for the season,C&H Engineering will be
fully capable of dedicating a full time licensed engineer to this project over the winter and into
the spring of 2017. The licensed engineer will work closely with Mark A.Chandler, principal
engineer and land surveyor for C&H Engineering. We also have survey crews who can dedicate
time as needed to the project in order to collect field data in a timely manner. A project such as
this one would be a high priority for C&H Engineering and we would strive to complete the
project in a timely manner and within budget constraints. We would also work closely with City
of Bozeman engineers to stay on track and provide assurance that we are meeting or exceeding
all project expectations. Our close office vicinity, recent civil engineering consulting work on
Bond Bridge and familiarity with working with the Bozeman Engineering Department make us
uniquely qualified to complete this project.

4.1 Land Survey
Structure Survey
o C&H Engineering and Surveying, Inc. completes surveys of hydraulic
structures including culverts,bridges, storm drainage facilities, stream
cross sections, roadway embankments, buildings and stream banks on
a regular basis. Examples of these types of projects vary from field
work to support during major subdivision construction and design
activities,streambank stabilization design and permitting, floodplain
delineations and as-built surveys of completed structures for
interfacing with proposed sites.We have recently surveyed existing
plots and staked out proposed features as outlined above at
Westbrook, Traditions Phase 3, Ryen Glen, Flanders Mill, Norton
Ranch and Ferguson Farms Subdivisions (all major subdivisions in
Bozeman).
Bathymetric Survey
o C&H Engineering and Surveying has performed bathymetric surveys
of several water bodies in Gallatin County. A survey of the East
Gallatin River was performed during the Bottomley Bank
Stabilization project to provide stream cross sections to incorporate
into a streambank stabilization design for the purposes of obtaining a
joint application permit.
High Water Mark Survey
o C&H Engineering and Surveying has a soils division headed by Mike
Welch. The soils team is knowledgeable and experienced at soils
identification and regularly identifies soil horizons for geotechnical
investigation reports and septic system permitting. The survey field
crew is also familiar with identifying ordinary high water mark
locations based on changes of vegetation and soil characteristics.
Ordinary high water mark determinations are performed during all
field investigations on floodplain delineation projects and stream bank
alterations. For a complete list of these types of projects please refer

4.2 Floodplain Mapping Studies
Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
o During the Bruce Harbor and Big Blue River, LLC streambank
stabilization/floodplain development permitting projects,C&H
Engineering and Surveying developed HEC-RAS models to determine
floodplain elevations. These projects required incorporation of field
measurements into the hydraulic model to forecast potential flood
elevations based on hydrologic data provided by the USGS Stream
Stats Version 4.0 web application.
o During development of site plan applications in the City of Butte
Silver-Bow,C&H Engineering used the software Win TR55 and the
USDA Guide to Urban Hydrology and Small Watersheds to model
small drainage basins to assess storage requirements on two multiplex
residential sites at Teal Street Condos and Washington Street
Fourplex.
o For the development of hydrologic models for the design of
stormwater infrastructures at Westbrook and Boulder Creek
Subdivisions,C&H Engineering modeled the existing and proposed
systems along with the post and pre-development watershed basins to
predict stormwater runoff and maximum discharge during the 25-year
storm event. This information was used in the model to size the pipe
network and to design stormwater detention facilities. This analysis is
performed regularly by C&H engineers on similar projects that
require complexity beyond a short spreadsheet analysis. Our
philosophy has always been to use the right tool for the right job and
this usually requires scaling the tool to the project.On large
watershed projects WinTR55 may be more appropriate for forecasting
storm events.
Floodplain Mapping and GIS Data Development
o For a complete list of floodplain delineation projects completed
successfully by C&H Engineering and Surveying please refer to
Appendix A. During floodplain map development,C&H Engineering
and Surveying will usually obtain the GIS shape file and LIDAR data
from FEMA or the local floodplain entity. Once we import this data
into Autodesk Civil 3D we can superimpose the shape file data with
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
CITY OF BOZEMAN –FEMA FLOODPLAIN APPEAL & MILL DITCH FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION EVALUATION
our data gathered by the survey field crew. We then compare our
field data with the FEMA FIRM cross sections to determine Base
Flood Elevations and use this analysis to delineate a flood boundary.
We have improved on this process over the years and found that it is
fast and efficient on the flood plain delineations we have completed
over the past few years.
4.3 Floodplain Mapping Alterations/Revisions
Letter of Map Revisions
o C&H Engineering and Surveying has completed numerous county
floodplain development permits,Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)
applications to FEMA,and Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA)
applications to FEMA.These applications involved Professional
Land Surveying and Engineering services to delineate the flood
boundary and to verify portions of the project that were actually
outside of the currently defined flood boundary.
