Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Kristin Donald, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Adopt the Water Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal
Years 2019-2023.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2017
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Water Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
Fiscal Years 2019-2023.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the City Manager is required to prepare a 5 Year Capital
Improvements Plan and submit it to the Commission by December 15th.
The Public Works, City Manager, and other city staff met in October, November, and December
to develop the attached Capital Plan for the equipment and capital needs of the Water Fund. The
Water Fund CIP tracks the capital equipment replacements and construction projects for Water
Operations (distribution system) and the Water Treatment Plant. It also tracks (and receives
reimbursement for) the Public Works Administration cost-center capital needs.
Items of Note:
W88 - Lyman Tank and Transmission Main (NEW CIP Item FY21) - Construct a
new 5MG storage tank at Lyman beginning in FY21 for $10 million. This would
decommission the existing Lyman storage tank, Condition Assessment-based repairs of
the existing Lyman transmission main, new supply main tie in to new storage tank, new
132
transmission main tie in from new storage tank to existing transmission main, new
chlorination/fluoridation feed facility. Decommission Pear Street Booster Station if
Hydraulic Grade Line of tank raised to meet Sourdough Tank. The Lyman water supply
is a critical element of the city's overall water supply portfolio accounting for roughly
20% of annual supply volume to the city currently. The source provides supply
redundancy and resiliency as it is geographically removed from the Sourdough/Hyalite
source and provides an independent connection to the distribution system. The effective
available water supply is increased since the new storage system will not leak and will
expand the number of customers able to be supplied by Lyman water. Likelihood of
failure of Lyman supply system will be dramatically reduced by replaced storage. It will
also complete new transmission and Condition Assessment-based rehab to existing
transmission.
W63 - Sourdough Watershed Fuel Reduction has been added in FY19 at $400,000.
Numerous other items have been adjusted or added based on current condition
assessments and projections including Water Pipe Replacements projects of
$1,200,000 annually.
Four projects require borrowing in the 5-year horizon totaling over $25 million (W71,
W72, W79, WIF35, and W88.) Borrowing for these projects begins in FY19.
We estimate water rates dedicated to capital will need to increase approximately 5% in
FY19, bringing the portion of Water Utility revenues that support capital to 31% in order
to fund this capital plan. A full rate-study and analysis is currently underway.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. If the Commission does not
wish to adopt this schedule tonight, it can be scheduled for approval on a later agenda.
FISCAL EFFECTS: This step in the process has no fiscal effect. Once adopted, the
Capital Improvements Plan becomes the basis of the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for
FY19.

$50,000
Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Managing infrastructure efficiently continues to be one of the top priorities and goals of the Bozeman City Commission. Assets
within the water distribution system, wastewater collection system, and the stormwater system will benefit from modern analysis.
Specialized asset management software will build upon existing datasets and systems to assist in delivering the desired level of
service for the lowest life cycle cost. Advanced applications are necessary to analyze condition information and criticality to
identify and coordinate overlaps and gaps among various assets. Asset management software will be used to better understand
opportunities for system repair and improvement across all asset categories. This technology will leverage the strengths of
coordinating and scheduling overlapping needs across all infrastructures. Current and future facility planning efforts will benefit
from a comprehensive application of asset management as it relates to coordinated infrastructure improvements throughout the
city.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue managing data and workflow using manual processes with limited potential for effective analysis.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Using technology to support long term capital planning will aid in rehabilitation/repair/replacement decisions and ultimately result in a prolonged
asset lifespan. A fully developed asset management program will assist the organization in continuing to deliver a high level of service in the most
sustainable way possible.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
WTP Facility Engineering & Optimization. The longer the water treatment plant is in operation, operators become familiar with
the processes and come up with ideas to optimize the process. This line item will allow for engineering studies on the operators
ideas before the expense of changing the process. In particular, the plan for this budget items is to improve the process from the
raw water intakes to the treated water reservoirs. It will allow studies to be conducted to make sure that proposed optimizations
will actually improve the process at a reasonable expense. Through the optimization of the plant with engineering studies the
process will be streamlined and will save money in the future.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Proceed with optimization projects without knowing if the project will actually improve plant performance.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The advantage of having funds available to do engineering studies before any project is started will make sure that the right equipment is
purchased and that it will perform properly. Optimization studies will predict actual cost/benefit over time to make sure the city is spending its
money efficiently.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Without the timely replacement of the membranes at the end of their useful lifespan, the whole treatment process will need to be
shut down. Because this treatment process is relatively new, we do not have a firm estimate on the lifespan of the membranes.
We expect them to last at least ten years but they could last twenty. This "savings account" will provide for rapid acquisition and
replacement of the membrane modules when the time comes, instead of waiting for the next budget cycle. The costs for these
replacements would be significant and typically need to be planned for after 10 years. This will be an on-going item for the next 20
years.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

Hyalite Dam and Reservoir Optimization Improvements
FY19 FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Armoring of the control tower (to enable some year-over-year storage capacity) and control upgrades to improve winter
operation. Current vulnerability of Bozeman to drought is very high, due to the lack of sources that are robust in drought (large
raw water reservoirs with year-over-year storage capacity, large rivers, or groundwater). Hyalite Reservoir is capable of providing
year-over-year storage, but is not operated in that manner due to concerns of ice damage to the control tower. This increases the
risk of an extremely dry year resulting in the inability to fill the Hyalite reservoir with enough water for the City and irrigation
uses. This project could potentially remove the 20% surcharge the City pays for Hyalite releases.

Hydraulic Grade Line of tank raised to meet Sourdough Tank. The Lyman water supply is a critical element of the city's overall
water supply portfolio accounting for roughly 20% of annual supply volume to the city currently. The source provides supply
redundancy and resiliency as it is geographically removed from the Sourdough/Hyalite source and provides an independent
connection to the distribution system. The effective available water supply is increased since the new storage system will not leak
and will expand the number of customers able to be supplied by Lyman water. Likelihood of failure of Lyman supply system will be
dramatically reduced by replaced storage. It will also complete new transmission and Condition Assessment-based rehab to
existing transmission.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Status quo operation of existing Lyman system
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Replaces lyman storage tank which is at the end of its useful life. Increases effective available supply as existing tank leaks at a rate exceeding 100
gpm. If new storage sited at an elevation to match HGL of Sourdough Tank then Pear Street Booster Station can be decommissioned which
reduces annual operating costs for power. CA-based rehab reduces liklihood of failure of critical tranmission infrastructure.

PROJECT NAME
Sourdough Transmission Main – Phase 2 (Finance W90)
FY19 FY20
$480,000
Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The project consists of constructing approximately 8,000 feet of 30-inch DIP transmission main, which will start at the end of the
Phase 1 connection point and go to the Sourdough Plant. This project is critical to overcome vulnerabilities presented by the aging
and unknown condition of the existing transmission main between the City's WTP and Sourdough Tank. This transmission main
will provide additional capacity from the WTP to the Sourdough reservoir, improving connectivity between the WTP and the City.
This will reduce the risk of not having adequate potable water and fire flow supplies to the City in the event of a failure to the
existing bar-wrapped 30" main. This project's cost and administration could be improved if combined with the new 3,000 feet of
48" bypass pipe.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Conduct a condition assesment of the existing 30-inch concrete pipe and repair/rehabilitate as necessary.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The condition of the existing transmission main from the WTP to the Sourdough reservoir is currently unknown. Approval of this project will
provide redundancy for this main, and mitigate the risk and consequence of its failure.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Impact Fees can not be spent on annual operations and maintenance costs. The Water Utility will see
incremental increases in general maintenance costs.
