PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Rapid community growth and
an evolving regulations have driven a
need to expand the City of Bozeman’s
Stormwater Division services. The
2008 Stormwater Facility Plan
provided an initial path, but with
recent regulatory changes, ongoing
development, and stormwater funding
challenges, the City needs an updated
vision and new tools to continue to
meet its two key objectives of: A)
maintaining and rehabilitating existing
infrastructure, and B) efficiently
planning for and adapting to growth.

AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.2
PROJECT APPROACH
Proposed Scope
Based on our understanding of the City’s objectives and the key challenges to meet those objectives, we have
developed a tailored project approach for each of the tasks requested in the RFP so that you have a comprehensive and
lasting Facility Plan.
Our Project Management
Approach is described in detail at
the end of this section. AE2S has a
proven track-record with the City
of delivering successful projects,
transparently communicating with
you, and diligently collaborating
with our teaming partners. We look
forward to offering you the same
level of service for your Stormwater
planning needs.
Norton Ranch Stormwater Basin
Task 1 Deliverables:
• Meeting Minutes
• Correspondence
• Regular Updates on Progress,
Budget, and Schedule
• QA/QC Deliverable
Task 2 Deliverable:
Technical memorandum
summarizing recommendations
in a format(s) that clearly
communicates to the
various stakeholder groups (City
staff, elected officials, developers,
HOAs, and other private BMP
owners).
Since private post-construction
stormwater BMPs connect to your
system, maintaining them is critical
to meeting your utility’s mission both
for MS4 water quality compliance
and reducing flooding complaints.
The ability to effectively inspect
and maintain these private BMPs
has become a major headache
because the City often lacks access to
inspect facilities and lacks a formal
enforcement policy. We recognize
that to address these issues, you
want to better understand success
stories and lessons learned from other
communities throughout Montana,
as well as other communities with
similar challenges. We propose the
following approach:
• Leverage our team’s first-hand
knowledge working with the
Montana MS4 advisory group in
developing the State’s new permit
requirements.
• Leverage our team’s first-hand
knowledge working with a
broad range (geographically
and demographically) of
communities as they implement
and manage their stormwater
system. Communities with older
MS4 programs struggled with
many of the same challenges that
you are struggling with today.
By selecting the AE2S Team, we
can hit the ground running with
these first-hand success stories
and lessons learned.
• Leverage our team’s (TD&H)
history of working with City staff
on development reviews.
Task 1 - Project Management
Task 2 – Post-Construction Facility Recommendations
2PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.3
Pre-1980s System Approach
Applicable Geographic Areas: Primarily East Area (see map on page 2.1)
Approach Justification: Based on the RFP, the City is concerned not only with overall pipe capacity but also nuisance
flooding, which can be driven by insufficient inlet capacity. To address both potential inlet and pipe capacity issues, we will
use a proven approach to quickly model the system and get the City accurate results and able to efficiently determine the
best overall approach to improve long-term resiliency.

Building on AE2S’ extensive
InfoSWMM and regional stormwater
treatment planning experience,
we recommend the existing storm
sewer capacity analysis (Task 3) and
the regional stormwater treatment
planning (Task 4) be combined into
a single model using InfoSWMM’s
powerful Scenario Manager
harnessed by AE2S InfoSWMM
experts. Recognizing that a detailed
InfoSWMM model that covers the
City’s entire Growth Boundary would
likely not provide value for the dollar,
we recommend that the level of
detail be scaled to the City’s planning
horizons: an approach successfully
implemented for numerous AE2S
municipal clients, including Kalispell
and Helena.
Tasks 3 & 4 – Existing Storm Sewer Capacity Analysis
Level of Detail:
• Trunk-line sewer with
simplified, grouped inlets
Data Needed for Analysis:
• Follow similar approach AE2S

• Quickly summarize benefits and
drawbacks using InfoSWMM’s
Scenario Manager
Evaluation Scenarios:
• Existing, pipe improvements,
and alternative approaches

Planning Horizons
Applicable Geographic Areas:
West, Middle, and somewhat East
(see map on page 2.1)
Approach Justification: The
City’s Growth Boundary extends
several miles beyond the urbanized
limits and the Growth Boundary
is primarily classified as Urban
Neighborhood, which has a broad
definition and encourages high
density development. Through
our ongoing Wastewater Facility
Plan project with you, we know
for planning purposes the City
is interpreting future land use to
average 20 dwelling units per acre.
Applying that same average land use
density to the Stormwater Facility
Plan, future urban land use could
average 70% impervious or more.
Knowing that groundwater and/
or soils often preclude widespread
runoff volume reduction (LID)
strategies, runoff volume would
significantly increase compared
to predeveloped conditions,
illustrated in the hydrograph below.
This increased runoff volume
will drain through existing portions
of the City with on-line and off-line
detention facilities immediately
adjacent to trunk-line drainage routes.
Because these facilities are subject to
backwater during high flows along
the drainage-ways, there is a potential
that future development, even if
peaks are mitigated, will increase
maintenance headaches and further
compromise existing capacity on
stormwater infrastructure. Therefore,
as part of the regional stormwater
treatment planning task, we
recommend including the existing
downstream trunk-line drainage in
the InfoSWMM analysis.

Fringe Farm and Forested Watershed:
Applicable Geographic Areas: West and Middle (see map on page 2.1)
Approach Justification: These fringe contributing areas need to be incorporated to account for their ability to take up
conveyance capacity in ditches and streams within the City’s drainage system. This proven approach (See City of Helena
project example) will ensure we account for potential impacts from the large undeveloped watersheds upstream.

because of their work with you to
evaluate the potential for regional
stormwater practices within the
Valley Center area. As part of Task
4, we will further evaluate facilities
in this area (and others) given
the advantages this area offers for
regional stormwater treatment.

recommendations.
Providing a varied level of detail throughout the City’s planning area while combining the planning area into
a single model provides the City with the following benefits:
A single model for the City’s drainage system, providing an adaptable system as the City expands.
Comprehensive understanding of the why flooding occurs, and the foresight to avoid future flooding
complaints.
Ability to understand impacts of future development on downstream infrastructure, allowing the City to
make sound, cost-effective decisions for both rehabilitating existing infrastructure and planning for
future infrastructure needs; and
Appropriate engineering investment for this Plan that can be adapted over time, as the need arises.
Improvements ultimately rely on funding for completion, so we will prepare written documentation with that mindset. We can also provide the City with the same information in a GIS-based web platform to provide a living document that can be updated as improvements are made.

2PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.6
In our approach, we’ve combined
Task 5 and Task 6 because asset
management, capital improvement
plans, funding needs, and utility rate
structures are all tightly connected.
Further, these tasks need to address
different types of assets within the
City’s stormwater program, namely
storm sewer pipes, BMPs, and
drainage-ways / culverts.
Regardless of the type of asset,
asset management and associated
funding plans are about making
the right infrastructure decisions,
at the right times, and for the right
reasons. While there are different
ways to arrive at a decision, using
data-informed decisions to drive your
asset management and funding plans
is the most defendable approach
to reducing risk when budgets are
limited or questions arise from
superiors, elected officials, and your
community. This approach also
provides value to communities like
yours because risk takes on many
different forms, and by using a data-
informed approach, various types of
risk can be weighted and ranked, all
built on a foundation of defendable
modeling output and asset data,
instead of the ad hoc approach of
responding to the loudest complainer
or some other non-systematic
method.
Our method for using a data-
informed approach to help our clients
manage risk combines metrics for
the Likelihood of Failure (LOF)
for an asset with metrics for the
Consequence of Failure (COF) if
that asset fails. The LOF and COF
metrics typically come from a variety
of sources, such as InfoSWMM
model output, your existing utility
geodatabase, other GIS data, desktop
reviews, and field inspections.
Innovyze InfoAssetPlanner can
transform your modeling results,
GIS data, and inspection data into a
powerful asset and risk management
tool. While the specifics of the
metrics will vary depending on
the asset type (drainage-ways/
culverts, BMPs, or storm sewer), all
the assets will incorporate at least
one metric reflecting that asset’s
condition, because current condition
is always an indication of an asset’s
future likelihood of failure. Part of
our approach will be to develop a
program and conduct a condition
assessment of drainage-ways and
culverts following these main steps
since we know that the City does
not currently have a comprehensive
asset management program for these
assets.
Condition assessments for these
types of assets will likely follow these
main steps:
1. Establish a cursory asset
condition using aerial imagery,
LiDAR, and Google Street View.
2. Establish a field inspection form
for drainage-ways and culverts
that integrates into CityWorks so
data feeding into your asset
management program can be
updated as new data is collected
and as the asset continues to age.
3. Review InfoSWMM results to
determine which assets are most
likely to cause bottlenecks.
4. Further refine metrics for LOF
and COF (and how significantly
each is weighted) using
InfoAssetPlanner to establish
ranking criteria and, ultimately,
prioritize maintenance.
PROVEN EXPERIENCE For a previous Stormwater CIP, AE2S worked with the community to weigh numerous risk factors like traffic impacts, structure flooding, ditch hazards, pipe age and type, and many more that provided a solid foundation for their stormwater CIP.
Tasks 5 and 6 – Additional Stormwater Utility Funding Recommendations, Maintenance
Asset Classes, and Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Recommendations
2PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.7
Preliminary Risk Model
Based on our experience working
with other communities managing
their stormwater assets, an effective
asset management plan approach
assembles these types of LOF metrics
along with COF metrics. In fact,
as part of this proposal, we have
developed a preliminary list of COF
and LOF criteria (see table below)
for you to consider as you begin the
process of building your stormwater
utility asset management program – a
list that we will refine as we work with
you to develop a tailored plan for the
City.
The next step in this process
involves us working with you to
develop appropriate weights to each
so that you have a defendable,
unbiased approach to managing
your stormwater assets and
developing a funding and capital
improvement program.
Likelihood of Failure (LOF): These factors will
impact how and when an asset might fail and help
define the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and
improvement approach.
Consequence of Failure (COF): These factors
will impact how critical an asset failure is and help you
prioritize the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and
improvement approach.

2PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.8
The next step is assigning an
overall risk score to every asset.
As a demonstration of what that
would look like, we’ve shown
conceptual results for the pre-1980s
infrastructure. This demonstration
illustrates two key findings:
1. A map (or web map) based
approach to visualizing the
combined likelihood of failure
and consequence of failure
allows you to clearly see where
improvements should be
prioritized. In other words,
while the process and logic to
develop a prioritization plan
may be complex, a map like this
distills that complexity down
into actionable terms that your
department, elected officials,
and the community can easily
understand.
2. Because we know there are
likely significant data gaps in the
final list of metrics to feed into
InfoAssetPlanner and there may
not be time or budget to fill in
all these data gaps as part of this
project, asset prioritization can
still occur with incomplete
data. Further, based on our
experience working with other
communities, this is completely
normal and does not detract
from the value of beginning
to establish a framework to
build on for years to come. To
address data gaps in the initial
asset management program,
we recommend including
fields within the databases
noting where "condition/data
verification" is needed prior to
embarking on a specific capital
project.
Once a risk score is assigned,
the next step is to develop an action
plan for each asset you own. As one
example, the decision flow chart that
follows is an example action plan for
each storm sewer pipe segment. The
value of a process like this is two-fold:
1. Allows you to focus limited
field investigation resources,
such as CCTV equipment (if
needed) in areas that have high
risk so that data collection
can be transformed into a
focused effort versus a shotgun
approach.
2. Develops an efficient and
defendable approach for no
action, minor repairs, pipe lining,
or full replacement.

2PROJECT OVERVIEW AND APPROACH
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 2.9
The input and results of a
stormwater model are useful,
but when these specific unique
InfoSWMM functions are properly
leveraged, the true value of the
program is realized. Over the
past several years, AE2S has been
providing added value to our clients
by combining hydraulic model output
with risk and financial models to
develop dynamic utility operation,
maintenance, and CIP tools.
Once you have a defendable asset
management plan and the associated
capital or maintenance projects
identified and costed, tracking
the planned costs over time and
identifying funding sources is critical
to sustaining the financial health of
your utility, as well as the ability to set
appropriate utility rates to fund the
necessary projects. We also know that
City budgets are dynamic, so we have
worked with many utilities to develop
a dynamic, user-friendly, and web-
based capital improvements tools
versus only a hard copy report that
will likely need to be modified soon
after creation because of changing
budgets or priorities. This dynamic
and adaptable tool can be integrated
with your existing Water Facility
Plan and the ongoing Wastewater
Facility Plan either soon or down
the road. As a demonstration of
the usefulness of having all your
CIP data in one, dynamic location,
we’ve input several of your current
stormwater, water, and wastewater
CIP projects into a web-based
tool, which we’ve shown on the
following page.

By selecting our team, the City will get a CIP that you can:
Sync to work with ArcGIS Online and Geocortex.
Customize to allow for multi-phase/multi-year projects.
Customize to include any funding sources/mechanisms that
are available.
Easily adjust project schedule, funding sources, and cost –
all while updating projected revenue requirements on the fly.
Export data to most formats (including pdf).
Easily use so it won’t collect dust on your shelf!
Further, the tool can also help
you visualize capital expenses and
funding sources over time. While we
recognize that the Stormwater Facility
Plan will, of course, focus on the
stormwater funding component, the
tool can be scaled up in the future to
encompass all City capital projects.
We deliver understandable and
concise products to our clients. As
you know, we prepare graphical
Executive Summaries that distill
the details of a Facility Master Plan
into a succinct visual summary. Our
graphical Executive Summaries
provide added value to a report by
making it approachable to a wide
audience, including technical City
staff, City officials, and the public
– which is crucial to providing
successful utility planning.
Our core value is “Extreme
Client Service”, which we carry out
by understanding our clients’ goals
and needs and then exceeding those
goals. As one of our client’s wrote,
“It’s refreshing to work with a firm
that is so proactive and on top of
things. It seems that whatever we’re
thinking, you guys have already
thought the thought and have taken
it another step or two beyond.”
This is the level of service we pride
ourselves on delivering. With our
project management approach,
you will never feel like your
expectations are what’s actually
being managed.

SPECIFIC RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
• Bridger Bowl Treatment Wetland, Bozeman, MT - Consultant and
Researcher. Designed an on-site, two-stage vertical flow treatment wetland
system for Bridger Bowl, Inc. treating up to 10,000 gallons per day, including
performing all automation programing. The system operates in a worst-case
scenario for natural treatment systems since it only operates during the coldest
portion of the year. The system was permitted and designed using information
gathered from a five-year pilot system built on-site to treat approximately
1,000 gallons per day. Involvement in the project since its inception has
resulted in the generation of a significant amount of operational information
as well as design guidelines for the MT DEQ.
• Canyon Area Feasibility Study, Big Sky, MT- Lead Engineer. Completed
a feasibility study and preliminary evaluation of wastewater management
options (collection, treatment and disposal) in the ‘Canyon Area’ of the
Gallatin River corridor near Big Sky, Montana for The Gallatin River Task
Force. This project included delineating a proposed boundary for the future
sewer district based off of collection system cost and feasibility; developing
sanitary sewer quantities and loadings by service area; ArcNLET (Nitrate
Load Estimation Toolkit) modeling, establishing water quality goals and
parameters for treatment and reuse-disposal; analyzing collection system
alternatives, treatment alternatives, and disposal alternatives for feasibility
and cost; providing a funding and conceptual rate study; public outreach and
communication services; and preparing a Feasibility Study Report.
• Ennis National Fish Hatchery, Ennis, MT - Researcher. Designed and
implemented a functional two-stage vertical flow treatment wetland research

preliminary design for treatment wetlands and rapid infiltration basins (RIBs) to recharge the underlying aquifer while
reducing thermal and nutrient loading to the Gallatin River. The design merges developer water right interests with
the Town of Manhattan’s sewer disposal objectives, ultimately receiving endorsement from Montana Fish, Wildlife &
Parks and Trout Unlimited. Supporting analyses included hydrogeologic modeling to address groundwater `mounding’
implications and recharge timing, sizing of treatment wetlands and RIBs, calculation of nutrient load reductions and
general water right accounting.
• Upper Gallatin Nutrient Assessment, Big Sky, MT - Senior Scientist. Watershed scale nutrient load analysis to
quantify nitrogen sources contributing to water quality impacts in the Gallatin River immediately downgradient of Big
Sky. The assessment used a range of data sources (Task Force water quality, MBMG groundwater, USGS flow, Gallatin
County septic, etc.) to inform nitrogen fate-transport models and equations to estimate nitrogen load to receiving water.
QAQC included calibrating predicted loads to existing measured loads. Assessment results informed development
of nitrate mitigation projects and serve as a base framework for nutrient trading under Circular DEQ-13. Anticipated
future projects include treatment wetlands to address stormwater runoff load and groundwater load emanating from
golf course springs, manure management from large scale horse stables, and a range of septic management and sewer
treatment solutions.
• Chapel Spring Treatment Wetland, Big Sky, MT - Senior Scientist. Prepare preliminary design for a nitrate
abatement wetland, improving water quality from an artesian spring prior to discharge into the West Fork of the Gallatin
River. The project reduces nutrient loading in the river by routing flow into a vertical flow anoxic treatment wetland that
is designed to sustainably remove incoming nitrate and provide stormwater treatment from adjacent golf course and
parking area.
• Groundwater Discharge Permit, Manhattan, MT - Senior Scientist. Ongoing effort to obtain a groundwater
discharge permit for the City of Manhattan, MT. Efforts include the generation of a groundwater modeling plan and
an assessment of the impacts of wastewater discharge using a MODFLOW model. The model is being used to address
alterations to the regional groundwater potentiometric surface, groundwater / surface water interactions, as well as the
fate and transport of constituents in the wastewater to support permitting and DEQ required non-deg determinations.

In addition to the experience summary above, AE2S are experts in other modeling platforms as well. The original RFP
noted that InfoSWMM would be the required modeling framework, but the answers to questions indicated a potential for
some flexibility if the City sees value in a different approach. While we still believe that InfoSWMM is likely the tool that
best fits the City's overall needs, we have provided you with the benefits and drawbacks to each of the modeling platforms
building on our first-hand experience working with all the platforms listed below. In fact, for a large 3.7 square-mile urban
stormwater facility plan, AE2S completed the analysis in both InfoSWMM 1D and XP-SWMM 1D-2D because the client’s
needs and objectives changed during the project. During project scoping, we can listen to you to more fully understand
your near- and long-term goals, draw on our broad experience in these platforms, and finalize our recommendation for the
modeling platform to use for this Facility Plan.
Modeling Framework Benefits Drawbacks
InfoSWMM
• Our team has unmatched experience with InfoSWMM, including with Helena and Kalispell highlighted in this section• City already has InfoSWMM License• Fully GIS-integrated• Robust ability to compare alternatives• Robust database management capability• Top-notch technical support from one of the world’s top experts in SWMM (Bob Dickinson)
• 2D (if needed) is less robust compared to XP• If additional licenses are needed at the City, higher cost compared to PC-SWMM.
XP-SWMM/ XP-STORM
• Our staff have decades of experience using XP for municipal stormwater projects, including Burnsville project highlighted in this section.• Robust 2D modeling capability for inundation mapping
• Crashes and corrupts model often• License for scale needed is about $50,000 up front plus ongoing maintenance• Difficult to compare alternatives• Clunky GIS functionality• Limited database management capabilities• Runs on old version of SWMM
PC-SWMM
• Cheaper than XP to purchase and maintain• Stays up to date with EPA SWMM releases (like InfoSWMM)• Good technical support for questions or issues that arise
• Requires separate license that City does not already have• 2D capability (if wanted in the future or as part of this project) is less robust• Completely different interface than what City staff is likely familiar with (requiring training).
EPA SWMM
• Our staff have unmatched experience with EPA SWMM, including Mark Peterson who teaches the ASCE course on EPA SWMM• Free for any model scale

Why This Project?
• Montana Stormwater Planning and
Design
• Large Upstream Rural Watersheds
• Existing Flood Mitigation
Approach
• InfoSWMM Model
• Improvement and Policy Feasibility
and Costing
• AE2S - WGM Team
Key Challenges:
1. A large two-square mile area
on the west side of Kalispell
is planned for mixed use
development. Complicating
matters is that the area drains to
an existing, recently- developed
neighborhood that experiences
frequent flooding and drainage
problems. Additionally, this area
contributes to West Spring Creek
which has a regulatory FEMA
floodplain.
2. Approximately 50 square miles of
rural and mountainous watershed
contribute to this developing area
with a wide range of hydrologic
conditions.
3. City of Kalispell standards
require peak flow control for the
10- and 100-year 24-hour design
storms. While Kalispell is subject
to the State’s MS4 requirements
that encouage runoff volume
reduction, soil conditions in
Kalispell preclude widespread
infiltration practices.
AE2S Solutions:
An InfoSWMM model was
developed with varying level of detail
for urbanized and rural drainage areas.
The model accounted for the diverse
hydrology across the watersheds by
adjusting rural runoff parameters so
results reflected observed historic
flood conditions.
Our team developed
several policy and infrastructure
improvement alternatives to mitigate
the flooding impacts from the new
development. We collaborated
with the City to implement a
combination of regional facilities and
watershed-specific peak discharge
policies because pre-post discharge
control was insufficient to mitigate
downstream impacts. The additional
detention storage needed would be
a shared responsibility between the
City and Developers.
The recommended alternative
required approximately 10% of the
planned development area to be
designated to regional stormwater
facilities. AE2S collaborated with
the City in ongoing communication
with the developers and impacted
land owners to help them understand
the need and benefit for the
recommended regional facilities.
Value to the City:
By using InfoSWMM to evaluate
the land use change impacts and
creating watershed-specific peak
discharge criteria, unintentional
downstream flooding impacts in
a contentious community were
avoided, and the City was able to
back the policy change with a strong
technical justification to convince
land owners and developers of the
need for large regional facilities.
The infrastructure improvements
are planned to go to bid in early 2021.
As the lead modeler on the planning
effort, Zach was able to smoothly
transition a concept to a permitted
design.

Why This Project?
• WGM - AE2S Team
• Montana Stormwater Planning
Project
• Downstream Capacity Evaluation
• Improvement Feasibility and
Costing
• Stormwater Planning Around
Irrigation Ditches
• Upstream Rural Watersheds
Key Challenges:
1. The mountains south of
Helena have a much larger
watershed footprint to the
urbanized watershed, so
accurately estimating runoff
from this portion of the study
area was critical to providing
solid recommendations for
improvement.
2. While the City had a
comprehensive GIS storm sewer
database that had substantial
information, much of the storm
sewer lacked invert data.
3. The City hadn’t had a significant
storm in recent memory, so there
was little understanding of how
the system functioned.
WGM - AE2S Solutions:
To accurately estimate runoff
from the mountains upstream, our
team adjusted watershed runoff
volume and timing parameters in the
InfoSWMM model so that the peaks
matched the predicted flood peaks
based on USGS StreamStats as well
as taking into account qualitative
observations from City staff.
Using InfoSWMM’s tools, our
team coordinated with the City staff
to strategically collect invert data and
leverage InfoSWMM’s data gap filling
tool to efficiently fill in the remaining
data gaps.
Finally, our team used a
simplified approach for inlet
modeling that allowed us to quickly
evaluate which storms and which
locations street flooding was driven
by inlet capacity limitations, storm
sewer capacity limitations, or both.
During the study, a moderately severe
storm occurred, and the model
showed storm sewer surcharging
in locations where manholes were
blown off.
Value to the City:
By solving these key challenges,
the WGM-AE2S team provided the
City with the following benefits:
1. The model correctly estimated
the runoff draining from the
mountains so the resulting
facility plan had “right-sized”
storm sewer improvements
instead of a plan with oversized
facilities, which would have
costed the City more money.
2. Since funding for the project was
constrained, the City was able to
get the most value for the dollar
by obtaining a useful stormwater
facility plan for the entire City.
3. The City was able to obtain a
comprehensive understanding
of the system that matched
recent observations so that the
City could focus their future
capital expenses on necessary
improvements.

CLIENTCity of Burnsville
CLIENT CONTACTJen Desrude, PECity Engineer951-895-4544
DESIGN YEAR2019 - Present
KEY PROJECT ELEMENTS• Large-Scale XP 2D Modeling• Flood Risk Assessment• Prioritized Improvements
Why This Project?
• City-wide stormwater model
• Identify existing system
deficiencies
• Use Risk Assessment to prioritize
improvements
• XP-SWMM (if City decides this
platform is the prefered software)
Key Challenge:
The City of Burnsville operates
a 27-square-mile footprint of storm
sewer, ditches, natural channels, and
ponds. A network of connected
stormwater and natural ponds serve
as water quality treatment and
flood control, but the City lacked
a comprehensive understanding
of which facilities were critical and
what portions of the City were most
vulnerable to flooding.
AE2S Solution:
We developed a 2D-XPSWMM
model at the catchbasin level. The
City-wide 2D model provided rapid
inundation mapping and flood-depth
rasters. These results along with
other hydraulic metrics and geospatial
data were used as inputs for a
custom-built risk assessment tool that
assigned weights to various likelihood
of failure (LOF) and consequences of
failure (COF) metrics.
Value to the City:
Creating a comprehensive City-
wide stormwater model only provides
value if the outcome bears insight on
laying a path forward. Our custom
risk tool digested complex model
results and geospatial datasets into
a simple list of zones to allow the
City to prioritize improvements
and have a defendable basis for the
ranked priority of each flood-risk
area throughout the City.
Our Team is proceeding with
preliminary and final design for
major pond improvements in a zone
categorized as high vulnerability.
The design elements of these pond
improvements aren’t complex or
costly but the City may not have
realized this opportunity for low-
hanging fruit without our in-depth
analysis.
4RELATED EXPERIENCE ON SIMILAR PROJECTS
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 4.5
Key Challenges:
Facility plans often stall prior to
making the plans a reality because
communities lack the necessary
funding. Other communities have
been able to commit the funds to
construct large capital projects but
then find themselves with depleted
financial reserves that hamper their
ability to provide operation and
maintenance costs so that the new
assets reach or exceed their design
life.
These challenges create “funding
gaps”, and they can be caused by
a number of factors: Deferred
maintenance, poorly planned rate
structures, quickly changing market
demands, and fast-paced growth, just
to name a few.
AE2S Solution: Dedicated Financial Services
Many years ago, AE2S recognized
these challenges that many of our
clients face. Therefore, to help our
clients plan for all life stages of their
current and future assets, we invested
in growing a team of financial experts,
AE2S Nexus. Those experts were put
to the test in Western North Dakota
during the Bakken Oil Boom during
the last decade. We helped these
communities understand the impacts
created from the lack of funding:
funding shortages that sometimes
exceeded $100M. More recently, we
helped both the City of Belgrade and
the Big Sky Water and Sewer District
understand what funding they have
in place for their wastewater plant
expansions and how they can address
the gap created by the unpredictable
construction market in the Gallatin Valley.
AE2S Solution: Building the Rate Structure that Works Best for Bozeman
Stormwater rate structures can be
simple or they can be complex , but
there’s no single best rate structure
for a community. Moreso, it’s driven
by what you want to accomplish.
We have helped a number of
communities build the right rate
structure for them - from establishing
a brand new utility, to overhauling the
structure, or to set the right rate using
their existing structure.
For example, Jamestown, ND
needed help to establish a new rate
structure and through the process,
we worked to incorporate feedback
from staff and council on appropriate
ways to charge both residential
and commercial properties with
their varied impacts on stormwater
infrastructure. In Fargo, as the
demands of the utility grew, the
complexity of the rate structure
needed to grow to make sure that
the appropriate revenues were being
generated to continue meeting the
ongoing O&M needs of the utility.
Finally, in Sioux Falls, we are asked on
an ongoing basis to review their storm
drainage rates and help verify they are
on track to fully fund their utility’s
ongoing operations.
In addition to all the help we
provide our clients with stormwater
utilities, each year, AE2S assembles
a comprehensive rate survey for
communities across numerous
states. The 2020 AE2S Rate Survey
included over 250 communities,
including communities throughout

AE2S Solution: Setting Impact
Fees to Equitably Spread
Costs Across New and Exisitng
Development
Rates alone are often insufficient
to address large funding gaps,
particularly when a community is
facing fast-paced growth, as Bozeman
is currently experiencing. In those
instances, we have helped to review
and update what the local equivalent
of an impact fee is. In Billings, MT,
we have updated the impact fees for
their water and wastewater utilities
since 2014, specifically calculating fair
and equitable amounts for both new
developments and large, unique users
looking to connect. Similarly, we
have assisted the City of Sioux Falls,
SD in reviewing their storm drainage
platting fee (impact fee equivalent)
to ensure that the approach to
incorporating in-basin and out of
basin credits is fairly applied.
AE2S Solution: Bringing the Whole Financial Picture into Focus
While rates and impact fees
are the core ways and methods to
evaluate your overall capital needs
and fairly recoup them, we can also
assist in identifying other alternatives,
whether through special districts or
permit fees, grants, or any number of
means that may offset costs to your
citizens and businesses.

ASSET MANAGEMENT TOOLSVarious Cities
Key Challenges:
Historically, extensive
infrastructure investment decisions
had to be made from institutional
knowledge and often times by gut
feel. However, with the financial cost
for improvements requiring that
projects be stretched out over years
or decades, making smart choices
on which projects can increase the
benefit to the citizens and businesses
by reducing risk quicker. Further,
we recognize that plans change,
needs change, and priorities change,
so asset management and capital
improvement plans that are static can
quickly become outdated.
AE2S Solutions:
AE2S is at the forefront
of leveraging rapidly evolving
technology and data availability to
help utilities take a much different
approach to capital planning than
in the past. Many utilities can now
fortify this decision-making process
by relying on detailed records of
what’s been done in the past, and
failure probability models to estimate
what is most likely to need immediate
rehabilitation.
KEY PROJECT ELEMENTS• Risk Assessment
• Asset Prioritization• Actions Based Recommendations
• Budgeting• Dynamic Risk Model
In the past five years alone, we
have helped Fargo ND, Bozeman,
Helena and Kalispell MT, Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District
(Vail CO), and Eagan, Burnsville,
and Plymouth MN develop “smart”
capital improvement plans that
incorporate historical failure records
and current condition assessments
to develop prioritized asset
rehabilitation programs. Many of
these asset rehabilitation programs
include risk models that help
prioritize assets based on their work
order history from CMMS platforms,
NASSCO-coded CCTV inspection
data, visual condition inspections,
and many other quantitative metrics
that contribute to the likelihood or
consequence of asset failure.
Value from AE2S Solutions:
By developing a matrix that
combines the likelihood and
consequences of an asset failure, we
are able to help our clients reduce
overall risk quicker by prioritizing
extreme risk assets, followed by
high- and medium-risk assets in a
methodical manner. This logical
approach to asset management
provides the stormwater program a
defendable approach to other city
departments, elected officials, and
the community for the sequence and
timing for planned improvements.
The dynamic aspect of these smart capital improvement plans has helped
our clients shift into a mindset of continually updating their risk models and
subsequently, always have a current capital improvements plan.

KEY PROJECT ELEMENTS
• BMP Asset Management Plan
• Private BMP Maintenance
Challenges
Why This Project?
• Evaluating regional and
nationwide best practices for BMP
design and maintenance
• Developing consistency
between city-owned and
privately-owned BMP design
and maintenance requirements
• Stormwater planning to allow City
work to scale up as development
occurs
Key Challenge:
The City of Woodbury has
over 1,000 BMPs that vary by type,
condition, and age. The City as
an MS4 is obligated to inspect and
maintain these BMPs.
However, despite newer
BMP technologies like filtration
and underground BMPs being
constructed in the City, the City
lacked an understanding of how to
maintain these newer types of BMPs.
Further, while the City has a
comprehensive GIS storm sewer
database that had substantial
information on when maintenance
occurred, the City does not
track BMP condition or specific
maintenance activities, which created
challenges since BMP maintenance
is spread out amongst multiple City
departments.
Finally, several BMP maintenance
projects were not received well by
residents and lack of documentation
about the why behind maintenance
put City staff and the Council in a
difficult position.
AE2S Solution:
Our team reviewed other cities’
and states’ BMP maintenance plans to
create a maintenance plan template.
Our team led a series of review
meetings with City staff to customize
the maintenance plan template to
meet the City’s goals and capacities.
This became the Woodbury
Stormwater BMP Maintenance Plan.
In coordination with City
staff, our team identified the cost
needed to perform minor and major
maintenance of each type of BMP.
Using that unit cost data, our team
prepared an overall cost estimate to
implement the Plan.
Value to the City:
The City is able to use the
maintenance guide when reviewing
proposed new BMPs during their
development review process.
With the cost data, the City is
able to identify if changes to their
stormwater utility fund are needed
to support new staff, equipment, and
projects.
Finally, the City has a guiding
document to use when they engage
with residents.
5PROPOSED SCHEDULE
AE2S BOZEMAN 2021 STORMWATER FACILITIES PLAN UPDATE PROPOSAL 5.1
We have laid out a conservative schedule starting in March 2021 with completion in October 2021. Depending on the City’s urgency for this
project, we can accomplish many of these subtasks in parallel rather than series and likely move the completion date to August 2021. We have a
deep bench of H&H modelers between AE2S and WGM and can make some minor staffing adjustments to get this project completed sooner.
Critical deadlines include:
• BMP Policy Recommendations (April 2021)
• Existing System Deficiencies (July 2021)
• Financial Tool for Tracking CIP (October 2021)
