REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Craig Woolard, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4775, Purchase of Real Property for Expansion of
Vehicle Maintenance Property
MEETING DATE: January 30, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 4775, authorizing the City Manager to sign
the Offer Letter for the Purchase of the real property described therein, together with all necessary
closing documents, and accept the deed to transfer ownership of the real property from the
Montana Department of Transportation to the City of Bozeman.
BACKGROUND: As part of its Rouse Avenue-Bozeman improvement project, the Montana
Department of Transportation (MDT) acquired fee title in the real property located at 1804 N.
Rouse Avenue, adjacent to the City’s Vehicle Maintenance property. MDT has entered into a lease
with its contractor to utilize a portion of the property for office space to stage and store supplies
and equipment during construction of the first phase of the Rouse Avenue project. Typically,
MDT does not sell “remainder property” until after a project is completed, and must follow specific
statutory procedure for disposition of such property. However, MDT agreed to sell the property
to the City at this time provided the sale would be subject to the existing lease. Also, MDT agreed
to secure an appraisal to determine the fair market value and the City must agree to purchase the
property at 100% of that value.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The sale is contingent upon a satisfactory Phase 1 Environmental
Assessment of the property.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The total costs of this acquisition is $650,000.00, which will be paid for
using the water fund and wastewater fund.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
