Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission

David Fine, Economic Development Program Manager
Brit Fontenot, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign an Amendment One with Ken
VanDeWalle for Aspen Street Pedestrian Bridge Design
MEETING DATE:October 3, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to sign an amendment one with Ken
VanDeWalle for Aspen Street Pedestrian Bridge Design.
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a
mechanism to encourage economic development.
BACKGROUND:The City Commission designated a pedestrian bridge over Bozeman Creek as
an urban renewal project. The Fiscal Year 2021 work plan and budget for the
Northeast Urban Renewal District included funding for design of pedestrian
connections and abutments for a bridge. The original scope of work covered
architectural design for the bridge itself to be placed on abutments. Since
the original contract was approved, additional design work was done in order
to coordinate efforts between the designer and the contractor who was
awarded the bid. The attached amended scope reflects work already
completed by Ken VanDeWalle in an effort to move the project forward.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As recommended by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The completed work has been scoped at $11,650 and is available in the

Re: Proposal for Parking Structure Expansion Feasibility Analysis
Bridger Park Downtown Garage
Bozeman, MT
Dear Chris:
Walker Consultants (Walker) is providing the following the proposal for the feasibility analysis to implement the
vertical expansion of the existing Bridger Park Downtown parking structure in Bozeman, MT as a task order
through the current on-call agreement with Sanderson Stewart.
Walker Consultants is a fully staffed, industry leading parking consultant and will be able to maximize parking
efficiency and functionality which leads to minimizing the overall project cost. We are confident that our team’s
experience designing parking structures world-wide over 55 years will be of benefit and value.
Project Understanding
The existing Bridger Park Downtown parking structure is a cast-in-place post-tensioned two bay single thread helix
accommodating approximately 335 spaces across a grade plus two supported levels. The project was originally
designed for a future vertical expansion. The City of Bozeman wished to evaluate the feasibility to complete the
expansion under the requirements of current design codes and comment of the study performed by DCI
Engineers in April 2019.
Scope of Services
Based on the above understanding, we will build upon our prior feasibility efforts. We propose to perform the
following scope of services.
1. Perform a site visit to review existing conditions, if necessary.
2. Review archival documents provided by the City of Bozeman and generated by Walker as part of our prior
engagement.
3. Review the functionality of how a connection to a new top deck would impact the existing vehicle and
pedestrian circulation, change in the number of parking spaces in the structure, impact on the number of
accessible parking spaces, etc. Identify any potential hurdles or constraints.
4. Analyze ramp and entry/exit capacities.
54

Parking Structure Expansion
City of Bozeman

5. Explore options for expanding the stair and stair/elevator towers.
6. Confirm that the structural analysis performed as part of the prior engagement conforms to current building
codes. This model will evaluate the potential expansion for maximizing additional parking capacity with the
provision for a solar ready roof component.
7. Review pedestrian vertical circulation elements for potential expansion. Verify code required widths are
provided in the expanded condition. This includes stairs and elevators.
8. Review, at a conceptual level, the impact to the existing building façade.
9. Study existing electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems to confirm that it can handle the demand from
proposed additional level.
10. In cooperation with Martel Construction prepare an order of magnitude construction cost estimate develop
from initial quantities generated through the expansion analysis evaluation.
11. Develop a phasing plan that minimizes temporary loss of parking spaces during construction.
12. Meet with the City of Bozeman- Fire Marshal, Building Department, Traffic and Planning to discuss their
requirements. One (1) trip to Bozeman is included in our scope.
13. Prepare a draft report of our findings, including recommendations for any materials testing needed to
confirm existing conditions. The report will include car counts and sketches along with a list of potential
project logistical challenges associated with this type of work.
14. Review the draft report with you via teleconference or web conference and issue a final report.
Limitations
As stated in the above scope of services, the assessment is based on visual observations and limited testing of the
existing conditions. Our observations may not discover or disclose latent conditions without performing more
invasive testing. More detailed and invasive testing can be provided by Walker as an additional service upon
written request from Client.
Americans with Disabilities Act
A review of the facility for Building Code compliance and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requirements is not part of the scope of work. However, it should be noted that whenever significant
repair, rehabilitation, or restoration is undertaken in an existing structure, ADA design requirements may become
applicable if there are currently unmet ADA requirements.
Schedule
We can begin work within one week of receiving written authorization, and anticipate on finishing the work within
4-6 weeks, contingent upon receiving timely feedback from the City of Bozeman Building Department.
Professional Fee
We propose to perform the services described for a lump sum fee of Twenty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred
Dollars ($27,400) including expenses.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Anna Bentley, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Resolution 5534 Establishing a Planning Commission as Required by the
Montana Land Use Planning Act to Have Responsibility as the City's
Designated Advisory Board for Land Use Planning and Implementing
Subdivision and Zoning Regulations
MEETING DATE:October 3, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Adopt Resolution 5534.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:Bozeman has done formal public land use planning since 1958 and zoning
since 1934. The City of Bozeman adopts its local land development
regulations within a legal framework established by the State of Montana.
For many years, the state's laws treated planning, subdivision review, and
zoning development separately. Those laws required a community to have
advisory boards called the planning board and zoning commission as part of
the regulatory system. In 2021, the City Commission, as part of a larger effort
to improve effectiveness and usefulness of municipal advisory boards,
established a Community Development Board (CDB) by Resolution 5330
[External Link PDF]. The CDB is a single nine person advisory board assigned
the responsibilities required by state law of both the planning board and
zoning commission and other specified duties.
The 2023 Montana Legislature adopted a new legal framework for land use
planning and regulation that applies to Bozeman and completely replaces
the laws that governed earlier regulations. Bozeman must update and
replace its regulations to comply with the new Montana Land Use Planning
Act (MLUPA). The City Commission received an overview of the MLUPA at
their July 25, 2023 meeting [External Link video], agenda item I.1. Section 4
of the MLUPA requires a local government to create a Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission is assigned certain responsibilities and replaces the
functions of the previous planning board and zoning commission. The
MLUPA allows for creation of an entirely new body or for the City
61
Commission to appoint an existing body to this role.
Land use planning and the regulations that implement the plans are
complex; involving many community documents, values and priorities, legal
requirements and principles, and operational processes. A continuity of
knowledge and consistency of operations and membership helps to provide
stable and consistent service to the community. MLUPA, Section 4
authorizes designation of an existing entity such as the Community
Development Board formed under Resolution 5330 with duties as a planning
board and zoning commission to be the planning commission required by
MLUPA. This provides well established understanding and experience to help
our community address very rapid growth.
This Resolution does not modify any adopted regulation, map, or procedure.
This is a necessary administrative action to designate a required advisory
board to perform certain duties required by state law. It is a procedural step
for the City to begin implementing the requirements of the Montana Land
Use Planning Act.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As identified by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:None.
