Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Kristin Donald, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Adopt the Street Maintenance Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
for Fiscal Years 2019-2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2017
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Street Maintenance 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. Similar to recent years
past, we are bringing various parts of the plan forward as items on the Consent agenda. We will
be prepared to address questions, if they arise, at the public meeting.
The Public Works, City Manager, and other city staff met in October and November to develop
the attached Capital Plan for the equipment and capital needs of the Street Maintenance Fund.
The Street Maintenance CIP encompasses the projects and equipment purchases that are not
Street and Curb Reconstructions in the Street Maintenance Fund.
Item of Note:
Significant increases in Pavement Maintenance projects over the next 5 years are
scheduled including mill and overlay as well as chip seal projects just under
51
$1,000,000 annually and maintenance and rehabilitation projects for the next 3 years is
just under $1,000,000.
Routine replacement of equipment such as graders, sweepers, trucks, plows, etc in
the normal course of street maintenance are included.
Revenue was increased over a three period starting FY16; increasing the assessment by
$1 Million over 3 years, dedicated to pavement maintenance projects. FY18 an
additional 9% increase to the assessment to fund the mill and overlay & chip seal
projects. For this plan, we are estimating a small annual increase going forward related to
land (square-footage) annexations and development.
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.
52
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.

Public Works Shops Master Plan
FY19
$20,000
FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Develop a long term master plan for Public Works shop facilities, equipment, and personnel. This includes conducting a needs
assessment of space for existing and future employees, equipment, machinery, and rolling stock. There is a severe shortage of
enclosed storage for equipment, vehicles, and machinery, resulting in extra wear and tear, additional maintenance costs, and time
preparing the equipment on cold mornings. Additionally, there is a lack of space available for existing as well as future staff. This
will be split three ways between water ($20,000), wastewater ($20,000), and streets ($20,000).
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue using existing infrastructure.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Provide an accurate analysis of the City of Bozeman Public Works space needs for both equipment as well as people.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Depending on the results of the plan, the likely result will be the construction of additional storage and office space.
FUNDING SOURCES
This project will be split 3 ways between Water Fund ($20,000), Wastewater Fund ($20,000), and Street Maintenance Fund ($20,000)

FY19
$45,000
FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Replace #2749 - 1997 Ford 1 Ton Manual Transmission F350. Setting up and mobilizing to the job site is done with this truck and
a trailer. Being able to leave the truck hooked up to the trailer during the project helps with transporting and also utilizing the
smallest work area in neighborhoods. Single pieces of equipment scattered over blocks in the core not only inconveniences the
residents where we are working but affects the surrounding blocks as well. Without this truck operating reliably, we have to
drive equipment to the site which can take a paver or skid steer more than an hour to travel through town.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Run to failure.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
A much more useable year round truck. Better fuel mileage and lower emissions. We are spending about $.90 per mile on maintenance and
repairs. A new vehicle spends about $.05 per mile on M&R. Anytime M&R exceed $.50 per mile, it is time to consider removing the truck from
the fleet.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Normal routine maintenance.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Replace #1539 - 2WD 1990 Ford Ranger with Hybrid Sedan. We would buy one of the Public Works lease hybrids. Their lease
ends in. Currently when we need to do inspections, inventories, GIS, training trips or take several people on route training, we
use several vehicles or make several trips. A hybrid sedan to replace the truck would be much more useful. This vehicle will be
able to carry up to 4 people at a time, and would be available to other departments as needed.

Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is a request to establish at a minimum a 20 year replacement schedule for our graders. Currently our fleet is comprised of a
1994, 1998, 2003, 2007, and 2014. Grading the residential streets is critical to safe travel of our citizens. Pulling the snow out
from the curb so it can be blown into trucks and hauled away is important to parking in the downtown and other business areas.
These graders will be all-wheel drive, which increases our productivity. Newer equipment has fewer breakdowns and better fuel
economy which means less time in the shop and fueling during a shift. The old grader would be traded in or auctioned.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Budget 250k every 5 years to purchase. Cut back on our use of graders in the residential areas. Continue to use what we have and replace when
we have complete failure.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Much more reliable and fuel efficient equipment.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Decrease in costs due to newer equipment.

Sweepers
FY19
$100,000
FY20
$100,000
Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is for leasing or purchasing sweepers through the MACI (Montana Air and Congestion Initiative) equipment purchase
program. These are mechanical sweepers that if necessary can be operated without using water. The next sweeper we would
replace is our 2005 model with 59,000 miles and 9372 hours. It is scheduled for an elevator replacement next year and we would
like to replace rather than repair at a cost of $15,000. Industry standards show it is best to replace municipal sweepers at 5 years.
We are able to get about 10 years due to our excellent maintenance program. The City's MS4 Stormwater Permitting requires
sweeping up sand and dirt before it can enter waterways. Clean streets/ bike lanes are a quality of life issue. We are required to
meet the goal of sweeping all local streets twice per year, monthly sweeping of all arterial and collector roadways and weekly
sweeping of Main Street, most bike lanes weekly during the summer. Heavy development activity requires additional sweeping in
construction areas. Sweepers are very high maintenance as they age. Leases terms for sweepers are a maximum of 5 years due to
life expectancy. We are currently in the 3rd year of one lease. This additional sweeper lease would replace our oldest sweeper a
2006. We submit every year to the Montana Department of Transportation's (MDT) Montana Air and Congestion Initiative
(MACI) equipment purchase program for sweepers. With this program, MACI pays for 87% and we pay 13% for a sweeper. If we
are chosen, we would use our lease payment to fund our share of the cost which would be ~$34,000.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Budget 250k every year until all sweepers are replaced. Cut back on our sweeping There are no local contractors at this time. Continue to use
what we have.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Much improved operations. Better air quality. Improved storm water discharge.

Regenerative Air Sweeper
FY19 FY20 Unscheduled
$250,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
We have had demonstrations of these sweepers and their ability to get the fine particles off of the pavement is noticeable. As air
quality and Stormwater discharge regulations tighten, we may be forced to use regenerative type sweepers or at the very least
have one in our fleet to do the final sweeping pass to get the <1 micron particles that can become airborne. Rather than make
several passes with our mechanical sweepers, an RA sweeper could get it done in one pass. The one drawback is that RA
sweepers cannot be used below freezing. They need water at all times.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Only use mechanical sweepers which discharge dust when sweeping.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
We could improve our discharge into the storm water system. Spring sweeping of the winter sand would generate less dust therefore
eliminating complaints from citizens and DEQ.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Normal sweeper maintenance costs.

Dump Truck With Plow & Sander - 2
FY19 FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The 1990 Dump truck will be 28 years old with 82,000 in town miles and over 10,000 hours. Parts have been discontinued. We
have had to patch the leaking gas tank because a replacement is not available. When the other rusted spots start leaking we will
be forced to park the truck. The motor is so tired that we are removing the plow this winter because it doesn’t have the power
to plow and sand uphill. We average about $1,200 per year in repairs and maintenance. The running and floor boards are rusted
through but we are able to cover them with old mud flaps to make it drivable. Parts availability will be what stops this truck.
Single axle dump trucks are used on smaller projects in the summer including alley maintenance, asphalt patching and debris
pickup. In the winter these trucks are the only equipment we can safely and efficiently plow the narrow streets. We are able to
haul snow in tight quarters also. Additionally, the 1990 underpowered gasoline engine dump truck that averages about 3 MPG
when used for plowing operations. The FY21 request will replace a 1993 underpowered gasoline engine dump truck. The new
truck could be fueled with alternative fuels such as Biodiesel. Estimates show that the 1990 spews over 30 tons of CO2 into the
air per year and by removing this from our fleet will help us reach our goal of reducing municipal greenhouse emissions 15%
below 2000 levels by 2020. This truck will also be available for use by other departments.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue with 1993 model.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Efficiency, less emissions, safety, fuel savings and more reliable equipment.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Less than current model.

$27,000
Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Sanders are used in a very corrosive and abrasive environments. We rebuild the conveyor and hydraulic system in the first 4
years. If we don’t have a have a catastrophic failure in the next 2-3 years, the V box and structural components start to fail in the
7th year. By replacing the sander every 8 years (we now have 8 sanders), we can avoid having a season ending failure. Sanders are
about 6 months out when ordering so we would never get a new one in the same season that we needed a replacement. We
have two different sizes so we could run them until they fail during a major storm and then have one of each size sitting here. The
problem with that is the new sanders would be aging without being used. Using this method we could have two failures in one
year and be short one sander. If we can't put down sand or deicer during the winter, we fail to service our citizens. Not being
able to control the quantity, means we are either putting down too much or too little product. Too much sand and we increase
our spring sweeping and too little sand and the crashes increase.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
More reliable sanders. Less failures in the middle of a storm.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is to replace the worn plow blades. With as much as a 90 day delivery time to replace a plow, it is important to replace them
before they fail. When the moldboard of the plow gets bent after several years of use, it is very difficult to bolt on a replacement
cutting edge. If they are not tight to the cutting edge surface they face early failure and require replacement at inopportune times.
We have 7 large plows so they will be on a 7 year replacement schedule.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
A much more efficient plow operation. Less time spent replacing cutting edges that prematurely break.

Tandem Axle Dump Truck With Plow & Sander
FY19 FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is a request to replace a 1994 tandem axle truck with 128,000 miles and over 11,000 hours. It is very important that we get
the arterials and collectors plowed and sanded before 8 AM. When a tandem axle 10 yard truck is down for any period of time,
the backup is a 1990 gas engine single axle 4 yard truck which takes twice as long to finish a route if it stays in operation for the
entire shift. Not acceptable to our customers. With the widening of multiple collectors and arterials, the continued need for a
larger capacity truck to finish plow and sanding routines is critical to maintaining our service to the traveling public. During paving
operations, being able to haul twice as much asphalt cuts down on the number of trips to the asphalt plant. This makes the paving
crew more efficient and uses less fuel. The 1994 truck would be used as a backup in the winter and still be used for paving instead

Replace Skid Steer
FY19 FY20

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This to replace our 2003 Skid Steer with 1750 hours. Used mainly in paving operations with the cold planer attached. This is very
important in our operation but is also very hard on the equipment. In the last 5 years we have spent over $26,000 in repairs.
Down time during these repairs has been weeks and that interferes with our ability to finish asphalt repairs in a timely manner.
Streets uses the skid steer in all aspects of milling, paving and gravel work. When we don't have the skid steer up and running, we
are using larger equipment using more fuel. Working in tight spaces is more difficult with a full size loader.

Paint Truck
FY19 FY20 Unscheduled
$225,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Pavement marking renewal is a yearly operation because we use environmentally friendly water borne paint. The disadvantage to
latex paint is that it has to be renewed at least annually. Currently we have MDT paint for us and due to their busy schedule it is
not always done as early in the season as we would like. We are now waiting until mid to late summer to get the double yellow
center lines, bike lane lines, skip lines and fog lines painted. MDT's crew is not as dialed in to the needs and wants of our citizens
so we are not getting the quality that we and our city is used to. Our crews would get it done in a timelier manner with fewer
mistakes. Fresh pavement markings are critical to the traveling public.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to have MDT paint for us when it is convenient for their schedule and weather permitting. Contract out the painting.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Producing a quality product that we don't always get with our current MOU with MDT. Being able to paint when we want and as often as we
want.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This annual program provides funding to continue upgrading pedestrain ramps to ADA compliance. A curb/pedestrain ramp
provides an accessible route that people with disabilities can use to safely transition from a roadway to a curbed sidewalk and vice
versa. Without access to properly developed ramps onto sidewalks, people with dissabilities are forced to risk their personal
safety by traveling in the street. Upgrading CoB pedestrain ramps will allow the City to be in compliance with Title II of the ADA
and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). This project will be completed in coordination with the
Stormwater Divisions Annual Inlet Replacement Program (STRM48).
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue with existing infrastructure, and not meet current ADA regulatory standards
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Upgrading the curb ramps will increase safety for community members and visitors with disabilities.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is a request for a brine-making machine to replace the use of Magnesium Chloride in the pre wetting of our sand. By wetting
the sand as it is applied, it cuts down on the amount of bounce when the sand hits the ground and gives some melting action. In
some communities, salt brine is used pre storm to keep the initial snow from bonding to the pavement. This could be used on
our known early freeze areas such as roundabouts and shaded areas.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

Spray Patch Truck
FY19
$250,000
FY20 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Our pavement preservation program includes several types of patching from a simple patch to a mill and overlay. We have found
spray patching, where oil and aggregate is used to fill the pothole to be very efficient and effective. Spray patching allows pothole
patching during a wider range of temperatures and conditions. Currently we are using a trailer-mounted unit that takes at least
two operators with one working directly in traffic. It also ties up one dump truck making it unavailable for our mill and overlays
when we need all the trucks available. While this always gives us the patch we want, getting set up and then working around and
in traffic is not ideal. Traffic control and positioning the truck and trailer often take longer than the patching process. A truck-
mounted unit is a much quieter operation and could be used on our 3AM crew by just one operator. We have found spray
patches to be a permanent repair that has saved many streets from going over the cliff to reconstruction. Sealing alligator cracking
and low spots have prevented failures during the spring that lead to tire breaking potholes that are difficult to patch during wet
weather. Spray patching is the main reason we have not had a pothole claim in 3 years. We would trade in or sell our trailer
mounted unit.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Keep using current method with trailer mounted unit.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
One operator operation vs. two. Greater temperature range we can operate. Quicker process so we can get more done.
