Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Kristin Donald, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Adopt the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
Fiscal Years 2020-2024.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2018
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
for Fiscal Years 2020-2024.
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 the 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 Wastewater Fund. The
Wastewater Fund CIP tracks the capital equipment replacements and construction projects for
Wastewater Operations (collection system) and the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF).
Relationship to the Strategic Plan:
• This year we worked towards item 7.1 b -Create a Culture of Innovation by changing
our CIP database system for project tracking and plan development. We are now using
our city-wide budgeting system’s project module for all CIP items. This will make it
18
easier to merge approved projects into the recommended budget, begin tracking projects
in their initial stages, and give us increased project cost reporting. The change has
resulted in a different report “look-and-feel,” and we are working to evolve and refine
how the CIP reports appear.
• We are also recommending that we continue to innovate the plan for next year by
increasing the CIP threshold from its current level of $10,000 to a new minimum level of
$25,000. Currently, the $10,000 threshold causes many maintenance and other
operational budget items to be included in the capital plan. For the FY21 to FY25 CIP we
recommend using a $25,000 threshold. This will align us with best practices and allow us
to make better capital decisions by focusing on true capital items and less maintenance
and operational expenses.
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
FY20.

WASTEWATER FUND DETAIL BACKGROUND This enterprise fund revenue source are rate fees charged to users. We estimate wastewater rates dedicated to capital will need to increase by at least 3% bringing the portion of Wastewater Utility revenues that support capital of 25% in order to fund this capital plan. A full rate‐study and analysis is currently underway. CAPITAL PLAN SUMMARY The plan has several recurring items, such as WW08 Wastewater Pipe Replacements, WW69 Small works projects, and WW70 WRF Facility Engine Optimization; have been scheduled based on current needs for approximately $1 million a year. FY20 includes WW96 East Gallatin River Avulsion, which will correct the damage done last spring by flooding. $7,990,070 $8,398,899 $9,646,160 $8,566,893 $8,876,017 $8,695,608 $‐ $2,000,000 $4,000,000 $6,000,000 $8,000,000 $10,000,000 $12,000,000FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 5 yr avgFY14‐18Wastewater Fund Revenue22

PIPES & PUMPS THAT ARE NOT ‐ PLUGGED RUN MORE EFFICIENTLY & REQUIRE LESS ENERGY ‐ TO RUN. ‐ ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: ‐ DO NOTHING & RUN THE RISK OF HAVING TO BYPASS THE ‐ EXISTING SCREENS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT HANDLE THE ‐ LOAD COMING INTO THE PLANT. ‐ ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL: ‐ PROTECTING DOWNSTREAM INFRASTRUCTURE BY NOT ‐ HAVING TO BYPASS THE SCREENS. ‐ ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS: ‐ ADDITIONAL COST OF ELECTRICITY FOR THE MOTORS ON ‐ THE SCREEN. ‐ SERVER REPLACEMENT AT WRF (WRFCTRLPRI) 20,000 DESCRIPTION: ‐ REPLACE THE WRF SERVER WRFCTRLPRI & WRFCTRLBAK ‐ ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: ‐ NONE ‐ ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL: ‐ NONE ‐ ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS: ‐ NONE ‐ THIRD PRETREATMENT SCREEN 2021500,000 WW76 SERVER REPLACEMENT AT WRF (WRFCTRLPRI) 202220,000 WW84 43
Project NameYear Description Amount Total Project #RE‐TUBE BOILER 25,000 DESCRIPTION: ‐ CURRENT BOILER IN DEWATERING BUILDING CONTINUALLY ‐ HAS WEAR ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS THAT CAUSES ‐ DETERIORATION. REBUILDING WILL ENSURE OPERATION, ‐ AS WELL AS EXTEND LIFE OF BOILER AND IS MORE ‐ ECONOMICAL THAN REPLACING THE ENTIRE BOILER. ‐ ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: ‐ REPLACE & REPAIR TUBES INDIVIDUALLY AS THEY FAIL. ‐ ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL: ‐ THE COST OF REPLACING 4 TUBES IS ABOUT THE SAME ‐ AS WHAT REPLACING ALL 20+ WOULD COST ‐ ADDITIONAL OPERATING COST: ‐ NONE ‐ UPDATE CONTROLS NETWORK 15,000 DESCRIPTION: ‐ THIS IS A HARDWARE INSTALLATION TO UPDATE NETWORKS ‐ AND BRING NETWORKS TOGETHER. ‐ ADVANTAGES TO APPROVAL : ‐ BY ADDING THIS HARDWARE WE WILL BE ABLE TO ‐ STREAMLINE THE CONGESTED NETWORK. ‐ ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: ‐ NONE ‐ OPERATION COST: ‐ NONE ‐ RE‐TUBE BOILER 202025,000 WW88 UPDATE CONTROLS NETWORK 202015,000 WW91 44
Project NameYear Description Amount Total Project #DESCRIPTION: 150,000 THIS PROJECT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ‐ THREE CRITICAL PUMPS THAT ARE NEARING THE END OF ‐ THEIR RELIABLE LIFE. THERE ARE TWO ‐ 20HP PUMPS ‐ AS WELL AS ONE‐ 5 HP. ‐ ALTERNATIVES: ‐ THESE PUMPS HAVE NO REDUNDANCY. DUE TO THEIR AGE ‐ REPLACEMENT PARTS CAN NOT BE LOCATED. ‐ ADVANTAGE OF APPROVAL: ‐ ASSURANCE OF RELIABLE OPERATION OF PUMPS WHEN ‐ NECESSARY MAINTENENCE IS PERFORMED. ‐ OPERATING COST: ‐ INSTALLATION OF THESE NEW PUMPS SHOULD LOWER ‐ THE COST OF OPERATION BECAUSE OF HIGHER EFFICIENCY ‐ DESCRIPTION: 20,000 REPLACEMENT PROBE FOR MONITORING NUTRIENTS ‐ ADVANTAGES: ‐ ALLOWS PLANT TO SEE THE REAL TIME VALUES FOR TARGE ‐ NUTRIENTS AND HELPS OPERATORS WITH MAKING TREAT‐ ‐ MENT DECISIONS. ‐ ALTERNATIVES: ‐ NONE ‐ OPERATION COST: ‐ NONE ‐ DESCRIPTION: 15,000 AMMONIA PROBE FOR EFFLUENT ‐ ADVANTAGES: ‐ THIS AMMONIA PROBE WILL REPLACE CURRENT PROBE AT ‐ THE END OF ITS LIFE CYCLE. IT ALLOWS OPERATORS TO ‐ ENSURE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF AMMONIA TO MEET ‐ REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. ‐ ALTERNATIVE: ‐ NONE ‐ OPERATION COST: ‐ NONE ‐ AMMONIA PROBE 202115,000 WW94 DEWATER PUMPS REPLACEMENT 2024150,000 WW92 NITRATAX REPLACMENT PROBE 202420,000 WW93 45
Project NameYear Description Amount Total Project #EAST GALLATIN RIVER AVULSION RESTORATION 300,000 DESCRIPTION: ‐ CHANNEL RESTORATION IS REQUIRED TO RECONSTRUCT THE ‐ STREAM BANK IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF THE ‐ SPRINGHILL ROAD BRIDGE THAT WASHED OUT DURING 2018 ‐ SPRING HIGH FLOWS. THE 2018 RIVER AVULSION EVENT ‐ HAS CUTOFF THE CHANNEL THAT THE WRF EFFLUENT ‐ DISCHARGES TO. THIS PROJECT WILL RESTORE THE RIVER ‐ CHENNEL TO ITS PRE‐AVULSION CONFIGURATION. ‐ ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL: ‐ BY RESTORING THE RIVER CHANNEL AND PROVIDING THE ‐ FULL FLOW OF THE RIVER BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PRIOR ‐ TO THE 2018 AVULSION EVENT, WRF EFFLUENT WILL ‐ DISCHARGE TO THE FULL FLOW OF THE EAST GALLATIN ‐ RIVER. DISCHARGING THE RIVER IS CRITICAL FOR ‐ MIXING OF EFFLUENT AT THE EFFLUENT OUTFALL ‐ LOCATION AND FOR PROVIDING SAFE PRIMARY CONTACT ‐ RECREATION. THE WRF IS THE SITE OF AN ESTABLISHED ‐ FISHING ACCESS SITE KNOWN AS CHERRY RIVER WEST. ‐ THE FAS IS HEAVILY USED BY THE RECREATING PUBLIC. ‐ THE RIVER RESTORATION WILL PREVENT PRIMARY CONTACT ‐ RECREATION FROM OCCURRING IN THE WRF EFFLUENT ‐ STREAM. ‐ ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: ‐ ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BY HDR ‐ ENGINEERING. THREE OTHER ALTERNATIVES WERE ‐ CONSIDERED: 1)DO NOTHING; 2)PARTIAL RIVER ‐ RESTORATION; 3)RELOCATION OF THE WRF OUTFALL. ‐ ALTERNATIVE 1 IS PROBLEMATIC IN THAT IT PRESENTS ‐ A PUBLIC SAFETY LIABILITY FOR PRIMARY CONTACT ‐ RECREATION OCCURRENCE IN THE WRF EFFLUENT STREAM. ‐ ALTERNATIVE 2 IS PROBLEMATIC IN THAT IT IS LIKELY ‐ ADDITIONAL OPERATIN COSTS: ‐ NONE ‐ EAST GALLATIN RIVER AVULSION RESTORATION 2020300,000 WW96 46
