WHEREAS, it is the intent and purpose of The Developer and the City to hereby enter into an Agreement for The Developer to satisfy the cash in lieu of water rights requirement for the Project with consideration given for the installation of showerheads, clothes washers, and toilets meeting a certain high efficiency performance standard. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Project Description This agreement pertains to, and includes, the site plans project designated as City application #24493, identified as the The Guthrie, projects that is being developed by The Developer on an existing tract of land legally described as KARP ADD, S12, T02 S, R05 E, BLOCK 6, Lot 1 - 3, ACRES 0.843, PLAT E-3-A City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana. 2. Cash in Lieu of Water Rights Requirement The Developer has been informed of, and agrees to comply with, the cash in lieu of water rights (CILWR) requirements at Section 38.410.130 BMC and understands that the Administrative Order 2013- 07 is a guidance manual for the administration of water rights requirements at Section 38.410.130 BMC. Demands for water for which CILWR apply are those demands supplied from the City’s municipal water system anticipated on an annual basis. CILWR is calculated by equation [EQ-1]. CILWR = [Indoor Demand (AF) + Outdoor Demand (AF)] * $6000/AF [EQ-1] Cash-In-Lieu of Water Rights Agreement with The Developer for The Guthrie Page 2 of 5 3. Baseline Residential Indoor Demand Part III of the Manual contains demand calculation methodologies for CILWR. For purposes of this Agreement, the calculation methodology employed for baseline indoor residential demand is Average Multi-Household Residential Unit Basis. The multi-household residential water demand is 0.124 AF per year per Multi-household unit (MU) The annual baseline indoor residential water demand for the Project is calculated by equation [EQ-2]. Baseline Indoor Residential Demand = 0.124AF * no. of multi-household units [EQ-2] = 0.124AF * ## multi-household units = XX AF 4. High Efficiency Indoor Residential Demand Baseline indoor residential water demand is reduced through the installation of certain high efficiency showerheads, clothes washers, and toilets. A 20.4% reduction in baseline indoor residential demand is achieved by the high efficiency performance standards listed below for these water using fixtures. High Efficiency Showerhead: 1.5 gpm WaterSense® labeled High Efficiency Clothes Washers: CEE Tier 1, 2, or 3 High Efficiency Toilets: 1.28 gpf WaterSense® labeled The annual high efficiency indoor residential water demand for the Project is calculated by equation [EQ-3] High Efficiency Indoor Residential Demand = Baseline Indoor Demand * (1-0.204) [EQ-3] = XX AF * 0.796 = YY AF 5. Outdoor Demand For purposes of this Agreement, an outdoor water demand of 0.0 AF applies since. The Developer intends to use an exempt groundwater well to supply the Project’s outdoor irrigation needs, thus avoiding having to irrigate with the City’s public water supply. The City confirms that the MT DNRC has verified in writing that an exempt well is allowable for the Project so long as they are not manifold into a common system. 6. Baseline Lump Sum Payment of Cash in Lieu of Water Rights Prior to each site plan approval for any individual phase of the Project, The Developer agrees to pay a baseline lump sum amount for CILWR to the City as calculated by equation [EQ-4]. Table 1 provides a breakdown by phase of the initial CILWR payments for the Project. The lump sum payment will be deposited into the City’s CILWR fund. Commented [GN1]: City Staff to updated depending on source Cash-In-Lieu of Water Rights Agreement with The Developer for The Guthrie Page 3 of 5 Initial CILWR Payment = (.0.124 AF/Unit* No. of Units in Phase) + Other Indoor (AF)) *$6000/AF [EQ-4] Phase No. of Residential Units Residential CILWR Volume (AF) Initial CILWR Payment ($) Total 7. High Efficiency Cash in Lieu of Water Rights Rebate The City agrees to rebate back to The Developer from its CILWR fund that portion of its baseline cash in lieu of water rights payment attributable to the reduction in baseline water use from high efficiency showerhead, clothes washer, and toilet installations meeting the performance standards contained in Part 4 of this Agreement installed within the apartment units. The maximum rebate amount for the Project is calculated by [EQ-5]. High Efficiency Rebate = (Baseline Residential Demand (AF) – High Efficiency Residential Demand (AF)) * $6,000/AF [EQ-5] = (XX AF – YY AF) * $6,000/AF = $ZZ The Developer understands and acknowledges that the City will only issue said rebate upon its confirmation and satisfaction, by inspection occurring at the time of final occupancy for individual apartment buildings of the Project, that high efficiency showerheads, clothes washers, and toilets meeting the performance standards of Part 4 of this Agreement are installed. The Developer must coordinate with the City to verify that fixtures meet these performance standards prior to their purchase and installation. To initiate the rebate, The Developer agrees to make a written request along with a statement certifying that requisite high efficiency performance standards are met by the showerheads, clothes washers and toilets installed within the building(s) for which the rebate is requested and provide supporting documentation as requested by the City which may include but not necessarily be limited to order invoices for the subject fixtures and installation invoices for the subject fixtures. The rebate amount issued back to The Developer per building will occur on a proportionate basis as determined by [EQ-6]. CIL Rebate per Bldg = (No. of Apartment Units in Bldg / Total No. of Units) * $ZZ [EQ-6] 8. Installed Fixtures Not Meeting High Efficiency Performance Standards Any installed fixtures determined by the City to not meet the requisite high efficiency performance standards listed in Part 4 of this Agreement are deemed ineligible for cash in lieu of water rights rebate. Should this provision be activated, a CILWR rebate amount will be determined based upon those high efficiency fixtures contained in Part 4 of this Agreement that are verified to have been installed.
