BOZEMAN CREEK AT CITY HALL BANK STABILIZATION WORK SCOPE, BUDGET, AND SCHEDULE BACKGROUND The City Hall pedestrian bridge is located on Bozeman Creek approximately 135 feet upstream of East Lamme Street.The banks around the City Hall pedestrian bridge are eroding. The project is included in the 2018-2022 Capital Improvements Program(project GF274). It appears that the erosion is currently impacting the stability of the adjacent sidewalk as well as exposing dry utilities adjacent to the bridge. Continued erosion could impact the stability of the abutments. Refer to attached photos 1 through 4 showing the existing condition at each corner of the bridge. There is also an area on the left(west)bank between the pedestrian bridge and East Lamme Street where there is little bank mass separating the creek from the building corner(refer to attached photo 5). The preliminary 2015 floodplain study(and one-dimensional HEC-RAS computer model)developed by Michael Baker International for the on-going Bozeman Creek&Tributaries Floodplain Study,Phase 2 will be used as the basis for floodplain permitting. The project site falls within the regulatory floodway delineated by this study. Therefore, a"no-rise"analysis is required to show that the proposed project will not increase the Base Flood Elevations(commonly referred to as the 100-year water surface elevations). The objectives of the project include assisting with the design and permitting phase as follows: 1. Design treatments to stabilize the banks adjacent to the bridge and the left bank area downstream of the bridge adjacent to the building corner; 2. Complete a Joint Permit Application for work in Montana streams; and 3. Develop permit-level plans and specifications to include with the Joint Application Permit submittal. The project goal is to construct the stabilization work in 2018. Construction will be undertaken by the City of Bozeman Street Department or by a contractor. WORK SCOPE 1 Project Management Coordinate with Client Provide coordination and communication with the Client. Internal Proiect Management Manage the project by providing direction and review. Manage the budget and schedule. Prepare invoices. February 12, 2018 Page 1 Attachment A-Allied Engineering Services, Inc. 2 Data Collection Obtain and Review Available Documents and Data Gather and evaluate relevant and available project data including: 2013 LiDAR data,previous studies, bridge plans, and building plans. Gather relevant data from past AESI projects in this location. This data will include: hydraulic models,reports, and survey data(2012 cross-section and bridge survey). Site Visit Call in a utility locate request prior to the site visit. Project Manager and Design Engineer perform a site visit to evaluate the existing conditions. Environmental Specialist perform a site visit to evaluate wetlands, document vegetation, and dig test hole(s)to evaluate soil and hydrology criteria. It is assumed that the US Army Corp of Engineers will not require a formal wetland delineation. This is consistent with our experience on the bank stabilization on Bozeman Creek just downstream of East Babcock Street which was completed in 2015. Document the observed field conditions with notes and ground photographs. Structural Engineer sub-consultant(Robert Peccia&Associates)perform a site visit to evaluate the integrity of the bridge structure. The site visit will be a visual inspection only(i.e. does not include destructive investigation or material testing). Follow up the site visit with a brief email summary of observations. It is assumed that no detailed structural analysis or design will be conducted. Prior to the site visit,review the 1980 bridge plan sheet provided by the City. Develop Base Map Create a base map in AutoCAD Civil 3D or ArcMap from the 2013 LiDAR data and the 2012 cross- section data obtained by AESI. The base map will be used for concept analysis and concept design. 3 Design Analysis It is anticipated that the bank stabilization design geometry will match the existing or pre-erosion bank geometry. Thus,the scope of work does not include evaluation of"no-rise"with a detailed hydraulic model. Rather, an evaluation of geometry is anticipated for the analysis. Design Bank Stabilization Develop a design to stabilize the streambank in the immediate vicinity of the bridge and the area downstream of the bridge on the left bank. One potential option for the work at the bridge includes stacked boulders at each corner of the bridge. 4 Permitting Assistance Complete a Joint Permit Application Complete a Joint Application form for proposed work in Montana streams,floodplains and wetlands. Complete a draft version for Client review then a final version for submittal to the review agencies. Develop Supporting Plans and Details Develop supporting plans and specifications to accompany the Joint Application. Develop the plans and specifications to a permitting completion level(i.e.not to a construction documents level). Client Responsibilities 1. Provide relevant building plans showing the depth and configuration of the footings in the area of February 12, 2018 Page 2 Attachment A-Allied Engineering Services,Inc. interest adjacent to the west bank of the creek; 2. Attend permitting meetings; 3. Communicate with utility companies to resolve any potential utility conflicts; and 4. Identify property boundaries and handle any boundary related issues. DELIVERABLES The following deliverables will be submitted to the Client in completion of this scope of work: 1. Brief email summary of observations from Structural Engineer site visit. 2. Draft Joint Permit Application: an electronic version in.pdf format. 3. Final Joint Permit Application: an electronic version in .pdf format and a hard copy for the Gallatin Conservation District. BUDGET The fixed fee budget to undertake the work scope is $8,489. A table showing a breakdown of the labor and expenses is attached. Invoicing will be based on percent complete and will utilize the following task: Design&Permitting. SCHEDULE Assuming authorization to proceed is granted by April 13,2018,the following schedule is anticipated: Draft Joint Permit Application-Complete by June 2018; and Final Joint Permit Application-Complete by July 2018.

BOZEMAN CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES FLOODPLAIN MAPPING PROJECT - MAPPING REFINEMENT BACKGROUND This document outlines the work completed to date and the remaining work for Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement for Bozeman Creek and Tributaries Floodplain Mapping Project— Select Review and Evaluation. The Bozeman Creek and Tributaries Floodplain Mapping Project is being completed by Michael Baker International for the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)and is currently undergoing review and evaluation by the City of Bozeman prior to implementation. The Bozeman Creek and Tributaries project aims to update floodplain mapping for the area using one-dimensional hydraulic modeling with the Army Corps of Engineer's HEC-RAS computer program and updated elevation data. Large-scale floodplain mapping was last completed for the Bozeman area in 1988 with a digital conversion of the data occurring in 2011. The following summarizes the work completed to date for Amendment No. 1: • Development of a schematic layout for revised hydraulic analysis(2D)and methodologies memorandum and response to FEMA comments regarding the memorandum; • Development of a preliminary 2D hydraulic model and memorandum summarizing the model setup and results and the plan for moving forward with a I model informed by the 2D model (mainly use of flow splits from the 2D model). Response to FEMA comments regarding the memorandum and follow-up responses; • Bond Street Bridge Letter of Map Revision(LOMR)submittal to FEMA and follow-up correspondence and information submittal to FEMA; and • Mill Ditch Diversion Flood Capacity Analysis memorandum submittal to the City of Bozeman.A Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate was also completed for a Mill Ditch flood mitigation channel. Remaining work associated with Amendment No. 1 includes: • Respond to any additional comments that arise from FEMA review of the Bond Street Bridge LOMR submittal; • Refine 2D hydraulic model per review from FEMA; • Develop a 1 D hydraulic model that is informed by the 2D hydraulic model specifically with regard to flow splits; • Revise portions of the preliminary 2015 1 D hydraulic model that are affected by flow changes from the 2D model; • Develop a LOMR submittal for the revised I hydraulic model; and • Address any comments that arise from FEMA review of the 1 D model LOMR. The text below outlines the scope of work and budget required to complete the anticipated remaining work. Febritaq 12, 2018 Page 1 Attachment B Allied Engineering Services, Inc. SCOPE OF WORK 1 Project Management Internal Project Management Manage the project,AESI staff,and sub-consultant. Administration Prepare invoices. Assist with preparation of deliverables. Communication with Stakeholders Communicate with client,FEMA,DNRC, and other stakeholders. Conference Calls Project Manager and Hydraulic Engineer(s)attend up to two conference calls with stakeholders. 2 Bond Street Bridge LOMR Address FEMA Comments Address any additional comments received from FEMA.AESI provided a LOMR submittal to FEMA in February 2017. FEMA requested additional information,and AESI provided the information in August 2017. This work assumes tie-in to the preliminary 2015 1D hydraulic model. 3 Floodplain Modeling (1D Model informed by 2D Model) 3.1 Refine 2D Hydraulic Model Refine 2D Hydraulic Model Based on Input from FEMA Work with FEMA to refine the 2D hydraulic model of the downtown area for the one-percent annual chance peak discharge(commonly referred to as the 100-year flow). Create separate models as necessary for other recurrent interval flows. Gather Information from the 2D Hydraulic Model Run the model with the other recurrent interval flows(10%,4%, 2%, and 0.2%annual chance peak discharges)required by FEMA. Tabulate split flows from all the modeled recurrent interval flows. Document the split flow values in a brief memorandum. Provide the memorandum to stakeholders for review as part of the 2D Hydraulic Model Submittal. Include past memorandums and comment/response documents in the submittal. 3_2 Develop 1 D Hydraulic Model Develop 1D Hydraulic Model Develop a I Hydraulic Model for the downtown area using flow splits from the 2D hydraulic model. Revise the portion of the existing preliminary 2015 1D hydraulic model downstream of the downtown area as necessary to maintain flow continuity. At this time,the 1 D Hydraulic Model is anticipated to include the following reaches: • Bozeman Creek: from station 10582(cross-section Y)to the East Gallatin River • Rouse Avenue Split(new reach, i.e. not in preliminary 2015 1D model) • Church Avenue Split • Wallace Avenue Split February 12, 2018 Page 2 Attachment B Allied Engineering Services, Inc. • 1-90 Split downstream of station 2782(cross-section F) Additional new reaches may be necessary to include in the 1 D model but are unknown at this time. Develop Floodway Model Develop floodway boundaries for Bozeman Creek and the Rouse Avenue Split. Develop floodway boundaries for any administrative floodways using the method outlined in Michael Baker's December 2015 Floodplain Study report. Develop Flood Zone Boundary and Regulatory Floodway Boundary Delineations Develop flood zone boundaries to reflect the I model. Develop Report to Document ID Hydraulic Model and Mapping Produce a report to document the development of the 1D hydraulic model and mapping. Submit the report to stakeholders for review. 4 Develop LOMR Submittal Package Develop Work Map(s) Develop Work Maps to show the floodplain boundaries and other items specified on the LOMR application. Develop Annotated Copies of FIRM, Flood Profiles, and FIS Report Tables Develop annotated copies of FIRM,flood profiles, and FIS report tables to reflect the revised 1 D model. Based on the November 17,2016 appeal guidance memorandum provided by FEMA, it is not required for MT-2/LOMRs to prepare or submit profiles or floodway data tables. However, it is FEMA's preference to receive profiles and floodway data tables showing the area of the proposed revisions and tie-in locations. FEMA format is not required for these products. Develop LOMR Submittal Package Develop a cover letter and materials for submittal to FEMA. The materials will include the following: LOMR application forms,hydraulic model report,hydraulic model,certified topographic work maps, annotated FIRM information, and miscellaneous additional information. 5 Address FEMA Review Comments This task provides an estimated scope and budget to address FEMA Review Comments. The task will be completed on a time and materials basis for a not-to-exceed cost of$25,554. The not-to-exceed budget was estimated based on the assumed hours shown on the attached itemized budget. Work associated with this task may include the following: communication with FEMA reviewers; additional minor revisions to 2D hydraulic model;revisions to I hydraulic model;revisions to floodplain mapping; and development of a revised LOMR submittal package. Assumptions 1. The format of the model,maps,and report will follow the requirements laid out by FEMA for a LOMR submittal(MT-2 Forms 1,2,and 3); 2. The I model will utilize HEC-RAS 4.1.0 to match the model used for the preliminary 2015 1D model; and 3. Regulatory floodway revision notification as shown in Section D.3 of the LOMR application Febr7rary 12, 2018 Page 3 Attachment B Allied Engineering Services, Inc. MT-2 form 2 will not be required. 4. FEMA has reviewed the 2D model methodologies and model setup and AESl has responded to review comments. It is our understanding that their concerns/comments have been addressed related to methodologies and model setup. Therefore, any additional comments resulting from review of the 2D model are expected to be minor. Client Responsibilities 1. Provide review fees if required; and 2. Facilitate communication and coordination with review agencies. DELIVERABLES The following deliverables will be submitted to the Client/Regulatory Agency in completion of this scope of work. Deliverables will be submitted in an electronic format except where hard copies are required by reviewing agencies. 1. Bond Street Bridge LOMR-response to FEMA comments; 2. 2D Hydraulic Model Submittal; 3. 1D Model Hydraulic Model and Mapping Report; 4. LOMR Submittal Package for the revised I model; and 5. Revised LOMR Submittal Package that addresses FEMA review comments. BUDGET The estimated budget to undertake the scope of work is $75,335. A table showing a breakdown of the labor and expenses is attached. The amount remaining from the Amendment#1 budget is $15,348 which will also be utilized for the above scope of work. Therefore, the Amendment #2 budget amount is $59,987.
