Memorandum
REPORT TO:Urban Parks & Forestry Board
FROM:Addi Jadin, Park Planning and Development Manager
SUBJECT:Park Land Trust Community Grant Program
MEETING DATE:January 23, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Policy Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:Park Land Trust Community Grant Program
STRATEGIC PLAN:6.5 Parks, Trails & Open Space: Support the maintenance and expansion of
an interconnected system of parks, trails and open spaces.
BACKGROUND:The Park Land Trust is funded primarily through Cash-in-lieu of Parkland
(CILP) payments made in association with subdivision and site plan
development applications. CILP funds have been used for a handful of
community grants over 20 years including partnerships with homeowners'
associations for small neighborhood park improvements, land acquisition
with Gallatin Valley Land Trust, and investment in snow-making with Bridger
Ski Foundation. Applications have been received on a rolling basis with
limited public outreach.
In addition, the Park Improvement Grant funded through the General Fund
has been used with longtime community partners providing matching funds.
The intent is to relaunch the program with more structure around
application periods, grant periods and conditions, and to align it with the
2023 Parks, Recreation and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT Plan) in terms
of its goals and its strategic action to center park equity through Parks and
Recreation Department procedures.
Information about the Cash-in-lieu of Parkland funding source and its use
can be found in Montana State Law the Bozeman Unified Development Code
and the Bozeman CILP Resolution.
The grant application and information will be posted on a Parks Division
grants webpage upon approval )(www.bozeman.net/departments/parks-
and-recreation/parks/community-grant-program)
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:NA.
ALTERNATIVES:NA.

CIP MESSAGE
Dear City Commission and Residents of Bozeman:
We are proud to present to you the City of Bozeman’s 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan. This five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a
commitment to improving and maintaining the City of Bozeman’s infrastructure, facilities, parks, and roads to aid in the vision of Bozeman as the
most livable place. City staff have dedicated substantial time and effort to ensure that every project within this plan aligns with the City’s
priorities and best serves our growing community. This document reflects extensive collaboration across departments, careful prioritization, and
rigorous analysis of needs, costs, and timelines, enabling us to balance current demands with long-term goals. With $284.0 million in capital
improvements scheduled over the 5-year plan, and an additional $386.9 million in unscheduled projects, this document represents both the
immediate and future infrastructure needs of Bozeman as we continue to grow responsibly and sustainably.
The CIP development process integrates regulatory requirements, community needs, and strategic goals to determine which projects receive
funding and prioritization. Finance, City departments, and the City Manager's Office coordinate to review and update the CIP based on factors
such as growth, infrastructure demands, and City Commission priorities. As Bozeman matures, refining our CIP development process is essential
for becoming a more high-performing organization. By standardizing project prioritization, centralizing procurement, and establishing consistent
evaluation criteria, we can more effectively allocate resources, streamline project timelines, and maximize cost-efficiency. Process
improvements in the CIP allow us to better anticipate and meet the community's needs while minimizing redundancies and enhancing
coordination across departments. These efforts reinforce our commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth for Bozeman.
PLAN CHALLENGES & KEY THEMES
This plan was developed with a focus on meeting critical community needs while upholding fiscal responsibility given finite resources. Bozeman’s
continued growth drives demand for new infrastructure while also intensifying the need to maintain existing systems. Addressing these
challenges remains a priority for the City, with an emphasis on sustainable solutions. During the development of this plan, we have carefully
evaluated and pursued sustainable options wherever possible. Amid a unique economic environment, the City continues to adapt and refine
financial models, including revenue projections, to navigate budget constraints. As all City priorities compete for limited resources, careful
decision-making is essential to ensure that resources are allocated efficiently.
With these limitations in mind, this Capital Improvement Plan centers on two key themes: protecting City assets and planning for the future. In
the first theme, we focus on assessing facility conditions, centralizing fleet management to optimize equipment use, and enhancing water supply
management through leak detection and infrastructure improvements. In planning for the future, we are updating the Urban Forest
Management Plan, adjusting fleet replacement and purchasing on a strategic schedule, and expanding electric vehicle infrastructure. Together,
these initiatives strengthen the City’s current assets and lay a sustainable foundation for Bozeman’s future.
Adopted FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan Page 2 of 383
21
IN CLOSING
We respectfully submit this 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan to the City Commission and the residents of the City of Bozeman. The City will
continue to plan for the future by investing in capital infrastructure in order to keep Bozeman as a vibrant and active city. The 2026-2030 CIP is a
plan to guide future budgetary decisions, provide efficient and effective services, and achieve the Commission’s vision and priorities set out in
the Strategic Plan for the City of Bozeman.
Respectfully,

CIP SUMMARY
Adopted FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan Page 7 of 383
26
CIP SUMMARY
One of the primary responsibilities of local government is to properly preserve, maintain, and improve a community’s stock of
buildings, streets, parks, water and sewer lines, and equipment. This CIP plan identifies infrastructure improvement projects in the
next five years that will be critical for ensuring the City can effectively address its evolving needs and provide essential services to its
residents.
The City continues to refine its CIP process as a means to enhance both financial planning and management decisions. Construction,
repair, replacement and additions that will cost over $25,000 were considered as departments developed lists of proposed projects.
Population changes, land-use patterns and operational impacts are all considered when assessing future demands and needs. The
City also looks at both staffing resources needed to complete the projects identified and considers financial impacts to utility rates
along with available funds to pay for projects. A number of CIP projects were identified for funding in the 2026-2030 CIP. Many of
the projects outlined in the CIP are complex, multi-year projects involving improvements to water, water reclamation, stormwater
and transportation infrastructure.
State law and City charter require the City to prepare the CIP. State Law requires the City to maintain a Capital Improvement Plan for
our Development Impact Fee programs. Under Montana Code Annotated (MCA), this Capital Improvement Plan provides the
schedules and cost projections required under MCA §7-6-1602(2)(k)(i-iv). In Article 5.06 of the adopted City Charter, the City
Manager is responsible for preparing and submitting a multi-year capital program to the City Commission no later than December 15
for the ensuing fiscal year. The plan must be revised and extended each year with regard to projects not yet completed. This plan is
required to include:
1.A clear, general summary of contents,
2.Identification of the long-term goals of the community,
3.A list of all capital improvements and other capital expenditures which are proposed to be undertaken during the fiscal years
next ensuing, with appropriate supporting information as to the necessity for each,
4.Cost estimates and recommended time schedules for each improvement or other capital expenditure,
5.Method of financing upon which each capital expenditure is to be reliant,
6.The estimated annual cost of operating and maintaining the facilities to be constructed or acquired,
7.A commentary on how the plan addresses the sustainability of the community or region of which it is a part, and
8.Methods to measure outcomes and performance of the capital plan related to the long-term goals of the community.

CIP PROCESS
The CIP is performed in compliance with State and municipal code. State Law requires the City to maintain a Capital Improvement Plan for our
Development Impact Fee programs. Under Montana Code Annotated (MCA), this Capital Improvement Plan provides the schedules and cost
projections required under MCA §7-6-1602(2) (k) (i-iv). In Article 5.07 of the adopted City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing
and submitting a multi-year capital program to the City Commission no later than December 15 for the ensuing fiscal year.
Work typically begins in August. Finance works in coordination with City departments and the City Manager’s Office to revise the prior year CIP
and recommend new projects that may have been identified through master planning or facilities planning over the past year. In December, the
City Commission hears and adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Plan that guides the budget development process for the following year. The
process is completed when the Commission adopts a final budget with capital items approved, usually in the following June. The graphic below
shows this in additional detail.
There are many considerations that guide project identification and prioritization from operational needs, to growth, to City Commission
priorities. The following descriptions are the main areas considered in development of the CIP:

CITY COMMISSION STRATEGIC GOALS
The City Commission's five-year Strategic Plan has been the subject of numerous citizen engagement efforts and public meeting discussions. The
Bozeman Strategic Plan identifies long-term goals of the community as detailed below, and guides the capital improvement planning process.
(1) An Engaged Community
Fostering successful collaboration with other public agencies and building on our successes, which is being achieved through City-County
Regional Planning. The Bikefill Community Park project is a great example of community collaboration and engagement. The City continues to
work toward a culture of civic engagement and build public trust by using our adopted communication plan for the organization to expand
community outreach and community engagement.
(2) An Innovative Economy
This plan supports retention and growth of both the traded and local business sectors in coordination with the Economic Vitality Strategy
adopted by the City Commission in June 2023. The budget includes strategic investments in infrastructure as a mechanism to encourage
economic development by serving our community with a transportation system, clean water, sewer access, and other infrastructure. Some
examples that highlight this include Phases I and II of the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Base Hydraulic Capacity project, which will meet the
City’s wastewater treatment 20-year growth planning horizon as identified in the 2022 WRF Facility Plan Update.
(3) A Safe, Welcoming Community
The capital plan includes a new Fire Station #4, assumed to be funded by a future bond levy, which is consistent with the Fire Master Plan and
will help Fire respond to a growing west side. Active recreation capital improvement projects are included throughout the General Fund
Recreation Department and the Parks & Trails District Fund with many projects that encourage and promote active recreation.
(4) A Well-Planned City
The Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation (PRAT) Master Plan implementation began in FY22 and projects continue in this five-year
plan. Capital projects are included in this plan to enhance non-motorized transportation, including funding additional bike path improvements.
All road infrastructure projects scheduled in the Street Impact Fee Fund will include investments in bike lanes.
Adopted FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan Page 11 of 383
30
(5)A Creative Learning Culture
The Percent for Art program has been fully incorporated into the Capital Improvement Plan. The program provides a guaranteed funding
mechanism for the acquisition of artwork for new public facilities and civic spaces.
(6)A Sustainable Environment
The Sustainability Division budget includes funding to add solar panel arrays to City buildings and the addition of EV charging stations within
City limits. We plan to continue to pursue federal grants to further energy and resilience projects such as energy storage, renewable energy,
and electrification for City infrastructure. In addition, all City vehicles included in the CIP will explore hybrid or electric options where available.
(7)A High Performance Organization
As Bozeman continues to grow, refining our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development process is crucial to becoming a more high-
performing organization. By standardizing project prioritization, centralizing procurement of capital items like vehicles, and ensuring consistent
evaluation criteria, we can more effectively allocate resources, streamline project timelines, and maximize cost-efficiency. Process
improvements within CIP development allow us to better anticipate and respond to the community's needs while minimizing redundancies and
improving coordination across departments. These enhancements not only strengthen our ability to deliver critical infrastructure projects but
also reinforce our commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth for the City of Bozeman.
POLICIES FOR THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY
The City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) is a combination of both Subdivision and Zoning regulations for development within the City. The
Code is subject to amendment by the Commission, after public notices and hearings are held. The UDC applies to both private and city-owned
projects. The City is currently underway with “The Bozeman Code Update,” a public process to update the City’s Unified Development Code
(UDC). The UDC covers a diverse range of topics, including, zoning, design standards, subdivisions, wetland, and permit review procedures. The
key feature of the update is to translate the community's expectations for development as expressed in the Community Plan into a concise and
useable set of regulations.
LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANS AND MASTER PLANS
The City has a number of long-range (20-year) facility plans. These studies examine the condition and placement of existing facilities, area growth
projections and pattern, regulatory changes, and possible funding mechanisms. The plans analyze various alternatives and include
recommendations for implementation. Adopted plans include:
•Water Treatment & Distribution Facilities
•Wastewater Collection & Treatment Facilities
•Stormwater Collection & Treatment Facilities
•Fire Station, Equipment & Staffing
Adopted FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan Page 12 of 383
31
•Police Station & Staffing
•Parks, Recreation, Trails & Open Space
•Transportation System Plan
•Facilities Condition Assessment
Most of the City’s long-range plans establish level of service (LOS) standards. These standards are critical to planning for the needs of future city
residents. In some cases, such as water quality or wastewater discharge, these standards are often established or guided by outside regulating
bodies. The CIP does not frequently reference specific LOS, but the underlying facility and staffing plans will contain detailed discussions of levels
of service, and how the City should address increasing or decreasing levels of service through infrastructure and staffing recommendations.
ABILITY TO PAY FOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
In a community with relatively high cost of living, the ability of citizens to afford the needed utility rate, fee, and assessment levels is of concern.
The City is currently conducting updated utility rate studies for Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, and Solid Waste services. Updated studies give
us an indication of how and when utility rates must be increased to pay for the needed utility infrastructure improvements.
For General Fund (Administration, Recreation, Library, Police, and Fire) facilities the City does not have the ability to easily increase tax levels to
increase funding. Voters must approve any tax levy increase, and state law establishes maximum debt service levels limiting the ability to finance
key capital projects. However, in November 2007, the City of Bozeman voters approved a four-mill perpetual levy to establish a Fire Equipment
and Capital Replacement fund. This fund was added to the CIP plan, and the funds are for replacements of fire engines, ladder trucks, and other
capital improvements to fire stations.
The City has four City-wide special districts: Street Maintenance, Tree Maintenance (Forestry), Street Arterial & Collector District, and a Parks &
Trails District. The districts are funded by special assessments which are charged to property owners based on the square footage of their lot.
Special assessment amounts are determined each year in August or September, and are based on the Adopted Budget, typically adopted by City
Commission between June and August.
The Street Maintenance District was created in 1990 and accounts for annual street maintenance like mill and overlay, curb repairs, and
associated equipment. The Tree Maintenance or Forestry District was also created in 1990 and pays for the preservation and planting of trees in
City right of way. In the summer of 2015, the City successfully created a citywide Arterial & Collector Street Special District, under the special
district laws of the state. The District is meant to fund street maintenance and (re)construction on Arterial & Collector streets that is NOT eligible
to be funded by impact fees. The CIP includes a 5-year plan for capital projects for this new district. In May 2020, the citizens of Bozeman voted
Adopted FY26-30 Capital Improvement Plan Page 13 of 383
32
to approve the creation of a Parks & Trails District. The plan for this district was developed first with consultants and furthered in Capital
Improvement Plans and internal staffing plans ever since. A citywide park and trail district is an effort to expand funding for new parks and for
deferred maintenance of park assets.
CIP FUNDING
The program is designed and planned by fund. Within those funds, the method for funding each project is determined. Some funds have fees or
taxes that are specific to capital improvement or maintenance. Debt financing may be proposed for some projects during the budget
development process. Below are the sources of funds for each fund included in the CIP.

capital improvement projects recommended to improve or maintain the condition of City facilities.
Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) completed in 2023 recommends architectural investigation of
wall assemblies within the Library, City Hall, Professional Building, and the Senior Center. The
investigation would determine a solution for instances where thermal transfer from the exterior to
the interior is causing damage to the building through condensation. An architectural study will provide the details needed to develop a final design and formal
recommendation for future project recommendations.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The architectural study will provide critical information about the condition of the buildings. Failure to perform the study may result in significant and
unanticipated maintenance.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project plans for the replacement of existing vehicles and vehicle upfitting within the Neighborhood Services Department over the course of the CIP. The
2006 Durango (Asset #3329) has far exceeded its expectant lifespan, and with new safety technology and fuel efficiency standards, the Durango does not meet
our environmental impact or safety goals. The Prius (Asset #3958) has met the replacement cycle and should be replaced by an all-wheel drive or four wheel
drive electric vehicle, due to environmental factors directly affecting the ability of the asset to be effective in its required duties (i.e unable to drive to inspections
in Glenn Lake Rotary Park because of mud and lack of ground clearance, or getting stuck in the snow and not being able to make it to the inspections for the
day). Amount in FY30 is for the scheduled replacement of the vehicle purchased in FY25 based on a 5-year replacement schedule. Vehicle will electric.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying this project will result in use of the 2006 Durango for additional years. The 2016 Prius will depreciate more rapidly due to the age of
the battery, which directly affects the ability to maintain a charge. The Prius is also only Front Wheel Drive which has created issues with affecting our job duties
in inclement weather. Since 2016, there have been additional standards in safety for new vehicles. The Prius does not have the storage capacity needed for the
day-to-day duties of Code Enforcement Officers, which make it difficult to efficiently complete assigned tasks, i.e. trying to fit a trash tote in the back of the
Prius, haul refuse from the side of the road to the convenience site, and many others.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
At the time of budget development, the Neighborhood Services department did not yet exist. Vehicles were transferred to Neighborhood Services from other
departments. Vehicles that have been used by Neighborhood Services were backup vehicles that were mainly unused by Parks and Facilities.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project includes primarily Detective and other civilian vehicle replacements such as Animal Control and Crash Investigation. The majority of these vehicles
are over ten years old and are driven on a daily basis. The proposed replacement schedule allows the department to maintain a reliable fleet for emergency call
outs and daily response.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Failure to replace non-patrol vehicles on a regular schedule increases maintenance costs and could result in safety and reliability issues.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
FY 27-28 changes reflect the need to replace our Animal Control truck in FY27 and our Evidence Processing truck in FY28. The additional request in FY 29 is for
a side-by-side electric patrol vehicle for downtown events and other special needs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Bozeman Police Department uses portable radios as the primary tool for communications during their workday, including normal and emergency situations.
Portable radios are essential for officer safety and for providing real time information as events happen and is one of the most important pieces of equipment
used by officers. The useful life of a portable radio is estimated to be approximately ten years.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Failure to replace portable radios when they reach end of life cycle will reduce the effectiveness of communication at the department, and could result in officer
safety issues.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will establish a smaller office-type location on the west side for officers to work during shift assignments. As the city expands westward, this
additional location will be essential to improve response times and accommodate departmental growth. A larger substation, budgeted in unscheduled for $15.5
million, would likely be funded through a future mill levy, serving as a more permanent base for officers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying the project include insufficient space at Bozeman Public Saftey Center and slower response times to the west portions of Bozeman.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This project was originally planned as part of the Bozeman Community Center Bond. Since the bond was not added to the ballot, this project is added separately
to the CIP.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Addition of a commercially designed and manufactured bulkhead to the Swim Center. A bulkhead
is a barrier that would be placed at the center of the pool, creating one 25-meter pool and one 25-
yard pool. A bulkhead would provide for enhanced programming of the current facility by forming
16 lap lanes instead of 8. The lanes would be shorter but would allow for more versatile
programming. In addition, a 25-yard pool would be created, making it possible to host 25-yard swim
meets at the facility. A commercial bulkhead is being recommended if the current bulkhead cannot
be redesigned in a fashion that it does not damage the pool.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying this project are likely to include continued operational limitations, maintenance challenges, decreased community satisfaction, and
higher installation costs if costs for materials and labor continue to rise.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Project has been moved up from unscheduled as it has been identified as a high-priority project to meet critical community needs. Additional costs will be

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Southwest Montana Veteran’s Cemetery will be a nationally recognized cemetery where
honorably discharged veterans and their spouses can be interred at a very low cost to families. To
date, completed contruction includes a three-tiered retaining wall, sidewalk, stairs and handrails
leading upto the plaza area. Currently, construction is underway to complete the plaza area, cement
footers, and the addition of a two hundred and forty niche columbarium (large size columbarium
is projected to cost $525,000). Completion of this phase will allow initial interments of urns. The following phase will complete an area for an in-ground ash
burial option.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Every consequence of delaying the build out of the remaining four columbaria are not known but would limit internment capacity for local veterans in the
future.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Bozeman Climate Plan calls for 100% net clean electricity for City operations by 2025 (Action
2.F.1). This project will allow the City to install solar arrays at the Story Mill Community Center
(FY25), the Bozeman Public Library (FY25), City Hall (FY26), the Professional Building (FY26), and
Vehicle Maintenance (FY26), resulting in economic and environmental benefits for the community.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
With rising electricity costs and the availability of renewable energy tax credits to local governments, it is a strategic time to invest in solar electricity. This project
supports the City Commission’s priorities to promote a sustainable environment and 100% net clean electricity for City operations. If this project is not approved
or delayed, it will slow progress toward our goals and result in higher long-term electricity costs.

installation, 5-year network subscription, and 5-year maintenance agreement for 3, dual-port, level
2 charging stations per fiscal year from FY27-FY30 at high-priority locations to serve the City fleet
and public.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Lack of planning and investment in EV infrastructure will slow the transition to less polluting, low-carbon vehicles for the City fleet and hinder the equitable
deployment of EV charging infrastructure for the public.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Today, each member of the Bozeman Fire Department is issued two sets of personal protective equipment (PPE), a primary and a backup set. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and manufacturer guidelines recommend that PPE used by firefighters, often referred to as turnout gear, be replaced every 10
years due to the breakdown of the protective fibers that are used to make the gear. Presently the fire department purchases gear on a rotating cycle so that a
firefighters primary gear is 0-5 years old and their back-up gear is 6-10 years old.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
PPE becomes inoperable at 10 years due to fiber breakdown. Failure to replace out of date PPE could result in hazardous conditions for Firefighters.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is a portable lift for the new fire department mechanic position that is approved in the FY26 staffing plan. The lift can be moved from one fire station to
another to lift fire department vehicles that require servicing.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Without this lift, the new fire department mechanic will not have a lift for servicing the fire department apparatus and will have to que up for lift time at City
shops which prohibits the mechanic from servicing the apparatus in the stations, thus delaying repairs or service that needs to be completed to keep fire
apparatus in service.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
License Plate Recognition (LPR) is a technology that uses character recognition to read vehicle registration plates. The Parking Department utilizes this technology
to enforce City ordinances. The LPR that is currently used on the parking enforcement vehicles reaches its end of life in FY28 and needs to be replaced with the
newest LPR hardware.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying this project will inevitably increase the overall cost of parking enforcement. LPR technology greatly increases operational efficiency, decreases
maintenance costs, and mitigates potential security vulnerabilities. Failing to update to the latest hardware could slow down enforcement and prevent us from
accessing new software updates. We should expect to replace this hardware every five to seven years.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET

SW68 Truck Wash/Paint Booth $1,500,000 The Public Works Facilities Master Plan of 2020 identifies the need for a truck wash bay and paint booth. Currently,
trucks are washed in the center of the indoor truck storage building. Issues include overspray which deposits debris
on surrounding equipment near the wash area, and safety protocol requires personnel to stay clear of washing
activity area. Currently, we have to repaint our commercial dumpsters. We perform this activity outdoors, so
weather plays a major role in our ability to complete this task. Adding a proper paint facility would allow us to
perform this activity year-round. Having proper ventilation, a clean location, and light would make the process
more efficient. This item has been Unscheduled to reduce impact on rates.
SW67 Heated Vehicle Storage 850,000 The Public Works Facilities Master Plan of 2020 calls out the need for expanding the heated vehicle storage
building. This building is used for overnight parking of collection equipment to ensure seamless startup operation
for completion routes. The expansion is due to the growth of the division which equates to adding additional
equipment. This item has been Unscheduled to reduce impact on rates. SW77 Sideload Garbage Truck 477,000 Side load trucks are critical to complete residential garbage and recycling collection service. This plan accounts for
the replacement of one side load truck in FY27, and one in FY28, and two in FY29. All replacements are based on
a 6-year replacement schedule. A new side load truck for recycling collection is in this plan for FY26. This purchase
will accommodate a second recycling route. With steady increase in customers each year, a new route will be
critical to maintaining the recycling schedule. This item has been Unscheduled to reduce impact on rates.
SW66 SWD Wash Building 400,000 The current headquarters for the Solid Waste Division is located at the old City of Bozeman landfill site, 2143 Story
Mill Rd. The container wash building was identified in the 2020 Public Works Facility Master Plan. Currently the
tote wash area and tote storage are within the equipment storage area using 1/3 of available equipment storage
for tote maintenance needs. Building a separate tote wash building would postpone the need for additional truck
storage. This item has been Unscheduled to reduce impact on rates.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project includes installation of a mechanical separator unit inline with the current stormwater
main in Peach Street to improve the quality of stormwater discharge. The mechanical treatment
will remove sediments, oils, greases, and other contaminants from the stormwater before
discharge to the local watershed. Mechanical separators are typically installed in place of an existing
manhole and use the flow of stormwater to screen and settle out particles. Pollutants are
vacuumed out of the unit once or twice per year. The basin it will treat is 49 acres and developed prior to modern stormwater quality requirements.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying the project include continued impacts to water quality and ability to comply with the City’s DEQ MS4 permit.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This project was originally budgeted as Downtown Mech Storm Phase 3 (STRH01). Subsequently, it was split into two projects after design and bid resulted in
high cost and difficult logistics of closing both Peach and Tamarack with STRH01 in the same year as construction on Mendenhall, Main, and Babcock. The
original estimate for both projects was $300,000, but costs have increased due to local inflation of construction costs and the size of the units. Recent comparable
projects installed 6-foot-diameter units, while hydraulic modeling determined that these need to be 8 feet. The larger size costs more, but also requires
mobilization of larger equipment to deliver and install the units. The River Health – Mechanical Treatment – Tamarack project has the remaining costs included
in FY26. That project is estimated to cost $300,000, resulting in a total increase to the CIP of $280,000. Additional costs will be absorbed using 2025 biennium
budget savings if available, otherwise a budget amendment may be required.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Upgrade one City site where operations and/or storage take place. Older sites have fewer controls
to protect water quality. The most likely project will add additional treatment to the snow storage
facility by the Softball Complex. Snow hauled from downtown streets is kept here until it melts,
releasing its pollutants. Most of the pollutants settle in place and are removed, while some escapes
in runoff. Operations facilities are evolving quickly as the City grows, and we will ensure that this
site or other site will have an adequate lifespan before constructing a water quality project.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Impacts to water quality would continue and staff would need to maintain existing facilities more frequently than the installation of a passive system.

STR147 Solar Level 2 EV Charger 110,000 This project would install a solar powered EV charging station for City fleet. The solar unit requires no infrastructure
and can be placed anywhere there is solar exposure and two parking spots. Grant funding will be pursued by the
Sustainability Division. Project moved to unscheduled while plans are finalized for City Shops Complex expansion.
STR138 Covered Parking 100,000 This project would add covered parking at the existing City Shops Complex. It may be possible to include charging sites
for public use. The project is planned to be built at the SE corner lot at the Shops at Rouse and Aspen. Project moved
to unscheduled while Shops Expansion plan is finalized.
STR94 Mastic Patch Machine 77,000 This item would purchase a hot applied mastic machine. The mastic machine allows City crews to repair asphalt
without it needing to be compacted, and therefore can be open to traffic within hours. It is an excellent long-lasting
repair to pavement surface imperfections that otherwise would need to be milled up and patched. The product applied
is similar to what is put on flat roofs but includes aggregate. Project moved to unscheduled to reduce assessment
impacts.
STR137 Spray Insulate Green
Shed
50,000 This project would insulate an existing equipment shed. This request represents the Streets Division cost for half of
the building. Project moved to unscheduled to reduce assessment impacts.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project represents the City’s annual funding for the mill and overlay phase of asphalt pavement
maintenance. Mill and overlays are a critical component to the City’s pavement preservation
program. Mill & Overlay is planned for 1.9 miles of City streets in FY26. This includes Highland from
Pinecrest to Curtiss, Ferguson from Durston to Oak, and several local streets in and adjacent to the
downtown core. Final locations and limits of work will be adjusted to maximize the annual
allocation in each given year. These and future projects are selected based on the 2020 Pavement
Condition Assessment and site visits by Streets Division and Engineering staff. All routes will be evaluated for potential low-cost Complete Streets
improvements prior to completion of design.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays will create deferred maintenance of City street pavement assets resulting in significantly higher pavement rehabilitation costs in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This item funds the replacement of a 10-year-old large snow blower used by the Streets Division. Snow blowers are used in snow hauling operations for routes
that do not have snow storage capacity, such as Main Street and the downtown alleys. Snow blowers are also required at the City’s snow storage sites in order
to maximize available space. The City’s only existing snow blower is reaching the end of its useful life and must be replaced. The existing snow blower will be
kept as backup capacity for situations in which this budget item is down or in use.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Without a snow blower, City staff would need to remove berms on Main Street and other high traffic areas using loaders and hand tools adding a significant
amount of labor hours to clear snow after each storm.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This item funds street sanders on plow trucks required for adequate winter maintenance. Current City strategy is to replace each Sander on an 8-year cycle.
Vehicle Maintenance rebuilds the conveyor & hydraulic system in the first four years and experience has shown that more significant structural components
start to fail by the 7th year. The City currently has eight sanders, which are typically all out on the street during winter storms. Mid-winter repairs are unlikely
due to time required for parts delivery and overall winter maintenance workloads. By replacing the sander every eight years we can avoid failure to one of our
plow/sander units.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This item would add a line painting truck to the Streets Division fleet. Pavement marking services are limited statewide due to contractor availability. City
currently depends on the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) for refreshment of long-line pavement markings on City streets through a shared
maintenance agreement. This agreement requires City needs to be fit into MDT scheduling and Sign & Signal Divison staff are still required to assist with traffic
control. MDT staffing and equipment shortages have led to reduced quality and quantity of work. This funding will allow Sign & Signal Division to perform line
painting on schedule and increase capacity of work without requiring staff augmentation.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delay would risk inability to keep pace with line painting needs resulting in reduced safety to the traveling public. Contracting these services as an alternative
would significantly increase Streets Division operating costs. Small scal e to full MDT work plus chasis cost increases.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Anticipated cost for this item has increased from $250,000 to $650,000. The Division initially budgeted for a machine with capacity to cover small-scale line
painting needs. In order to take over line painting from MDT, a high-capacity machine is required with anticipated present-day cost of approximately $550,000.
When sourcing quotes, the vendor recommended an anticipated FY27 budget year cost of $650,000 based on recent escalation of chasis cost.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This item funds two new tandem axle dump trucks for all-season maintenance and construction. The Streets Division currently has eight tandem axle dump
trucks which are used to plow and sand arterials & collectors, haul asphalt during paving operations, haul leaves, haul waste from camping sites, haul snow, tow
equipment trailers, and perform general street maintenance. The City targets plowing and sanding by 8am after a winter storm event and can typically serve
100 miles per route. It requires eight tandem axle dump trucks to currently meet this goal. With the widening of multiple collectors & arterials and additional
lane mileage added in the City, the Division has a need for larger tandem axle trucks to finish plow & sanding routines in the future. Tandem axle trucks are also
able to haul twice as much asphalt as a single axle truck which cuts down on the number of trips to the asphalt plant.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Failure to replace and increase number of tandem axle dump trucks will lead to a decline in level of service to the community.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This item has been moved from FY26 to FY28. This adjustment is based on the city’s current estimated timing of increases in street mileage to be built and
staffing additions required to service the additional mileage. Total anticipated expense increased by $30,000 based on latest pricing received from vendor for
the FY28 budget year.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will install water efficient landscaping & irrigation utilizing best management practices
to reduce overall water use & maintenance associated with the median landscape. The landscaping
& irrigation installed in these medians will be appropriate for harsh roadway conditions and will
reduce water use, chemical weed mitigation, and maintenance associated with the landscape.
These landscapes are suited to withstand drought events, reducing socio-economic impacts from
the loss of outdoor landscapes. Finally, the landscape aesthetics will exemplify the beauty of drought tolerant landscapes, contribute to quality of life for
Bozeman residents, and demonstrate the City's commitment to water stewardship. This project is a partnership between the City's Water Conservation Division
& Streets Division. Water efficient landscape & irrigation designs to be utilized for these medians were a deliverable from the water fund WC01 CIP project. This
funding will fund only partial landscaping of Oak St medians. Significant inflation for these services will require substantially higher funding allocation to complete
work for the entirety of Oak St.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Oak Street medians will remain in their current state.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will reconstruct Kagy Blvd from the intersection of S 19th to Willson including two travel
lanes in each direction, turn lanes as needed, roundabouts at the intersections with S 11th S 7th,
traffic signal upgrades at the intersection with Willson and 19th, a 10-foot shared-use path on both
sides of the corridor, pedestrian tunnels at S 11th and S 7th, landscaping, and street lighting. This
project is identified in the 2017 Transportation Master Plan as MSN-8, SPOT-1, SPOT-6, SPOT-7, and
SPOT-8. The City has been awarded a $24,289,622 federal grant from the Multimodal Project
Discretionary Grant (MPDG) Program. Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) will lead the
project through design and construction and administer the federal grant. The City’s contribution has been reduced to $3,000,000 with payment to MDT
expected in FY26. Total project cost is estimated at $31,690,000. Project funds include STBDP funds totalling $4,440,000, State funds totalling $688,000 and
Local funds totalling $3,000,000. Engineering and Inspection: $6,546,000 |Utilities: $1,306,000 |Right of Way: $2,567,000 |Construction: $20,221,000
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Kagy Boulevard is near vehicular capacity and lacks bike and pedestrian infrastructure in sections, increasing safety risks as development continues.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Budget amounts reduced to include only the City’s contribution. Timing has been revised based on updated project funding agreement with MDT after MPDG
Rural grant award was received. Prior CIP assumed City would administer grant, if awarded. Cash-in-Lieu of Infrastructure collected from adjacent
development has been deposited in the Street Reconstruction Fund for use on the Kagy project.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Curb and gutter is a critical part of the City’s street network. When a pedestrian ramp is installed, many times the adjacent curbs need to be replaced in order
to get drainage to continue at the new ramp. Smaller curb repairs can be necessary rather than replacing a whole block. These repairs result in improved
Stormwater control and facilitates better street sweeping. Additionally, broken curbs can be hazardous to vehicle tires. These improvements can be combined
with ADA ramp replacement work and inlet replacement work.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays to this project will continue defering necessary maintenance.

WW142 WRF Limit of
Technology Nutrient
Process Upgrades
$98,000,000 Nutrient water quality standards and compliance is a complex and contentious issue in Montana with many current
unknowns and uncertainties that make capital project planning a significant challenge. DEQ is currently in the process
of developing new nutrient water quality standards rules that once adopted and approved by EPA will lay the
groundwork for establishing Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) discharge permit limits for nutrients. The WRF must
comply with nutrient permit limits established by DEQ to ensure the nutrient water quality standard is achieved. This
$98 million capital outlay represents the cost to construct the current limit of technology for nutrient treatment
performance for both total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP). It is presently unknown whether the nutrient water
quality standards will be established by DEQ at such a stringent level to necessitate construction to the limit of
technology for both TN and TP. This would be the worst-case cost scenario. The $98 million upgrade identified in the
2022 WRF Facility Plan Update includes construction of: a 4th bioreactor, post anoxic carbon addition for bioreactors 1
- 4, a side stream enhanced biological phosphorous removal process, a tertiary membrane filtration process and filter
pump station, and new chemical and coagulant dosing systems.
A $98 million dollar project will have a significant rate impact, and debt coverage requirements will not allow the use
of sewer revenue bonds to fund this project. The City is working closely with the Montana League of Cities and Towns,
the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and other state-wide partners to work towards reasonable
policy solutions that mitigate the impact on rate payers while encouraging appropriate nutrient water quality
standards. This project is not currently included in long-term financial models or rate setting considerations.
WW141 Treatment Wetlands 4,750,000 This project involves the construction of a vertical flow tertiary treatment wetland at the Water Reclamation Facility.
Wetlands treatment may present an elegant solution to achieve water quality standards utilizing natural treatment
methods to remove an additional fraction of total nitrogen and total phosphorus prior to discharge to the East
Gallatin River. Effectiveness of wetland treatment is being evaluated by Montana State University (MSU) under a
grant agreement with the City and Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Upon completion of the
pilot, project and resolution of nutrient water quality standards by the State of Montana and DEQ, this project may
show promise as a final nutrient treatment polishing process, possibly eliminating the need for costly limit of
technology nutrient treatment. The limit of technology treatment defined in the City’s Water Reclamation Facility
Plan comes at capital cost of $92.5 million with extremely high operational costs. A wetlands treatment polishing step
may produce similar results but at a much lower cost. Initial results of the joint MSU/DEQ/City pilot work are
promising, so the next step is continuation of the pilot study joint effort with MSU to develop design information for
full scale wetland design. The continuation of pilot study work is programmed in fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2027
with full-scale design work programmed in fiscal year 30. Construction phase services are anticipated in the
unscheduled portion of the CIP, but the costs of a full-scale facility are not yet known. A full-scale facility can only be
roughly estimated at $10,000,000 until further pilot scale work is completed.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The 6-inch wastewater replacement program sets aside funds to replace older failing and undersized wastewater collection pipes. The program is designed to
replace approximately 19 miles of undersized main over a 25-year period. All 6-inch pipes will be upsized to the minimum 8-inch city standard or upsized based
on the City's Wastewater Facility Plan and hydraulic model. Priority for 6-inch replacement projects will generally be associated with the City's street
reconstruction program, new development, and system risk in relation to other 6-inch pipes within the system. Remaining funds will be used to update pipe
condition assessment information to better inform the City's capital program and future project prioritization.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will construct a 24-inch sanitary sewer main in conjunction with Fowler Road
construction project. Sewer main construction will occur from Oak to Durston. This work was
initially thought to be 100% capacity expanding as the original pipe was going to be left in place.
Given the latest iteration of the design, the existing pipe will be abandoned, so a portion of this
project is now in the wastewater fund. Total Project Cost: $1,134,199 | Design (FY25): $145,600
Construction and Construction Administration (FY26): $988,500 (60.6% wastewater fund and
39.4% wastewater impact fee fund totals split over 2 years matching the capacity upgrade of the sewer construction work).
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If not constructed simultaneous with the Fowler Road Street Impact Fee project, this sanitary sewer must be constructed in the next 5 years, which would
subsequently damage new pavement associated with the Fowler Road Project and be much more expensive to construct. The sewer main is necessary to
accommodate redevelopment growth in the south and central parts of the City. If not constructed, growth will be restricted until the sewer capacity is upgraded.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Shifted some funds from wastewater impact fees into wastewater fund due to changes in the design of this project resulting in replacement of the existing pipe
that is under capacity. The replacement portion of the project is now covered by the Wastewater Fund while the increased pipe size, which is capacity expanding,
is covered by the impact fee program. The funding split is reflected below. Line item WW08 was reduced to make this a budget neutral change.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A critical section of existing sewer main begins on Kagy Blvd and Hoffman Drive as 10-inch diameter
asbestos concrete pipe and continues to run north through Mason, Wilson Ave, College, 4th
Avenue, and finally ending on 6th Ave. Once the sewer main reaches Olive Street, the diameter has
increased to 18-inches in size. Portions of the existing main have been identified as high-risk given
both the condition and age of the existing asset. In addition, the City’s hydraulic model has shown
that several segments of main are near hydraulic capacity during wet weather modeling scenarios. The project includes both the replacement and upsizing of
approximately 10,250 ft of existing sewer main. Overall, the project will provide the necessary improvements needed to increase system capacity to meet future
build-out conditions while decreasing overall risk associated with critical aging infrastructure. The project was recommended to occur within the City’s 5-year
planning horizon and is in conformance with the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Master Plan. Engineering is scheduled in FY26 and construction in FY27.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying the project include limitation on development immediately south of Kagy and east of 11th Ave as well as the inability to serve new
projects from MSU.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will replace three existing motor control centers (MCC) at the water reclamation facility that are original to the facility and at the end of their useful
life. These motor control centers provide electrical controls to activate critical equipment that subsequently treats the City’s wastewater before being discharged
to the E. Gallatin River. The total project cost is expected to be $632,000 including $350,000 which will be spent prior to the capital planning period 2026-2030.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Without replacement, critical MCC failure will lead to wastewater treatment system upsets, with subsequent reductions in water quality and Montana DEQ
discharge permit violations.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Consolidated MCC 1 (WW121) and MCC 2 (WW122) into a single project and added MCC 3, since these replacements were all designed concurrently by engineer
consultant. Additional costs will be absorbed using 2025 biennium budget savings if available, otherwise a budget amendment may be required at a later date.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is a joint project between the County and City. The amounts in the CIP reflect the City’s
anticipated cost only. The project would install a sanitary sewer dump station site serving food
trucks and RVs, and charge customerson a per-use basis. The City's portion of the project would be
a sanitary sewer service from the City's sewer main in E. Tamarack Street onto the County
Fairgrounds property as well as a grease interceptor on the Fairgrounds property. The County would
provide the land and an automated charging station to charge customers on a per use basis.
Currently, there is no location for food trucks to dump their grey waste, which is heavily laden with grease. Grease has a significantly disruptive impact on the
City's sanitary sewer system if not treated properly. The City-County Health Department recently approached the City to help develop a solution to this issue
and provide food truck vendors a legal location to dispose of their liquid kitchen waste. The site would also serve as a single-use RV dump site.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
There will be no adequate location for food truck waste to be dischared to the City's sanitary sewer system until this system is installed.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This is a new item to the CIP. The City-County Health Department approached the City identifying this as an urgent issue. Currently, food truck waste is being
illegally dumped into various locations throughout the City and County, which is very difficult to track and subsequently enforce illicit discharge or pretreatment
regulations. The City is impacted by illegal dumping into the sanitary sewer system via grease accumulation that causes sewer backups, property damage, and
raw sewage exposure to the public. Some of the illegal dumping also occurs directly to the environment causing environmental contamination and impacts to
the ecosystem. The goal is to provide a location to food truck vendors to legally dump their waste in a way that is protective of the environment, whereas there
isn’t a location to legally dispose of the waste currently.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves the construction of a vertical flow tertiary treatment wetland at the Water
Reclamation Facility. Wetlands treatment may present an elegant solution to achieve water quality
standards utilizing natural treatment methods to remove an additional fraction of total nitrogen
and total phosphorus prior to discharge to the East Gallatin River. Effectiveness of wetland
treatment is being evaluated by Montana State University (MSU) under a grant agreement with the
City and Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Upon completion of the pilot,
project and resolution of nutrient water quality standards by the State of Montana and DEQ,
this project may show promise as a final nutrient treatment polishing process, possibly eliminating the need for costly limit of technology nutrient treatment.
The limit of technology treatment defined in the City’s Water Reclamation Facility Plan comes at capital cost of $92.5 million with extremely high operational
costs. A wetlands treatment polishing step may produce similar results but at a much lower cost. Initial results of the joint MSU/DEQ/City pilot work are
promising, so the next step is continuation of the pilot study joint effort with MSU to develop design information for full scale wetland design. The continuation
of pilot study work is programmed in fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2027 with full-scale design work programmed in fiscal year 30. Construction phase services
are in the unscheduled portion of the CIP. Costs are unknown, but a full-scale facility can be roughly estimated at $10,000,000 until further work is completed.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Consequences of delaying the project may be compliance issues with the City’s Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The current wetland pilot project jointly funded by MSU, DEQ, and the City has proven highly successful. The next step will be to continue efforts by MSU to
provide wetlands design criteria over the next two years including funding in FY26 and FY27. Wetlands design criteria will be essential to taking the next design
step. Full-scale design work is programmed in FY30 with construction to follow in subsequent fiscal years.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) proposed a joint project between the City and DEQ that would be an MSU research project. The
project would be to study biologically available phosphorus in the City's Water Reclamation Facility discharge. This work could have significant positive impacts
in understanding both ongoing protection of water quality in the E. Gallatin as well as potentially reducing wastewater treatment costs in the future. This funding
would support MSU graduate level research work. This work builds on recent successful research and collaboration between MSU, DEQ, and the City described
in the Treatment Wetlands Project – WW141. The project may benefit the City with reduced requirements associated with its discharge permit, subsequently
reducing long-term capital investments and ongoing operations and maintenance costs. The work could also benefit other municipalities throughout the State.
As such, DEQ is approaching other municipalities to support this project with funding as well.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The consequence of delaying is the potential loss of positive impacts on future discharge permit requirements and potentially reduced treatment costs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will either replace and upsize, or parallel certain portions of the sanitary sewer along the
11,500 feet length of the existing North Frontage Road Interceptor. The North Frontage Road
Interceptor supports large portions of the City’s southeast and eastern sewersheds. The extents of the
project is generally located between Springhill Road and Bridger Drive. Portions of the interceptor have
been shown to have an increased risk of failure due to the age and condition of the asset while other
segments have been identified in the City’s hydraulic model to be near hydraulic capcaity during wet
weather modeling scenarios. The project consists of two main components: first, the replacement of existing parallel trunk sewer, which includes the replacement and
upsizing of the worst condition parallel interceptor main; second, the installation of a new parallel interceptor main along portions of the existing interceptor that
currently only have a single segment of main. Overall, the project will provide the necessary improvements needed to increase system capacity to meet future build-
out conditions while decreasing overall risk along the interceptor corridor. Lastly, the existing interceptor main that is not mitigated as part of the project will be
inspected for current condition and either replaced or rehabilitated at a later date, thus utilizing the City’s existing assets to their full expected life-cycle extent. The
project will conform to the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Master plan. Engineering is scheduled in FY27 and construction in FY29.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Digester maintenance requires periodic emptying and removal of debris built up over time in the
City’s solids processing system at the Water Reclamation Facility. Digesters are a treatment system
at the plant that process biosolids before ultimate disposal at the Logan Landfill. A good Preventive
schedule for these tanks is 5 to 10 years each, (we have 3 currently and building the 4th soon). These
tanks must be proactively cleaned to maintain treatment function, avoid in-service failures, and
maintain our ability to meet EPA permit requirements for the facility.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying the project will significantly increase the liklihood of solids-handling failure and non-compliance with EPA 503 permit requirements leading to increased
solids disposal costs and likely fines for not meeting permit conditions.

CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
With the growth of the city and potential equipment satellite sites, it's not going to be sustainable or feasible to transport equipment by driving it directly there.
Without this trailer, we will still be able to drive the equipment directly there, but it may be on streets with speed limits that far exceed the capability of the
equipment. Travel time will continually increase and it will become more of a safety issue.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Hydraulic capacity improvements for the existing treatment processes employed at the Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF) are necessary to meet the 20-year planning horizon of the facility. The
anticipated 20-year flow rate is 14.6 million-gallons-per-day (mgd) average daily design flow
identified in the 2022 WRF Facilities Plan. The existing WRF average day design capacity is 8.5 mgd.
The 2022 WRF Facilities Plan identifies existing process improvements necessary to increase the
base hydraulic capacity to 14.6 mgd and when these improvements are needed. A phased approach
is called for, since some process elements have more current available capacity than others. Base hydraulic capacity improvements are intended to maintain
the current treated effluent performance levels of the WRF and are not designed to further reduce effluent nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations.
Phase 1 base hydraulic capacity improvements identified in the 2022 WRF facilities plan update include the construction of a 4th anaerobic digester, uv
disinfection capacity additions, piloting of indense™ process to enhance and optimize existing bioreactor phosphorous removal, and full-scale installation of
indense™ process after piloting. This project also includes renovation of existing lined solids piping restricted by struvite. Struvite accumulates in pipes at water
reclamation facilities over time and restricts flow of materials in those pipes.
The total project cost is expected to be $10,730,000 including $9,122,400 which will be spent prior to the capital planning period 2026-2030.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Growth of the City will be limited until WRF capacity is increased.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Gooch Hill Lift Station is defined in the City's Wastewater Collection Facilities Plan to serve the
northwestern and western edge of the City. Two potential developments are looking to annex into
the City. One property is 160 acres at the northwest corner of Baxter and Cottonwood. The Second
development is approximately 430 acres north of Cottonwood and west of Harper Pucket Road.
Both properties need the Gooch Hill Lift Station in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the
area. Both developers will need to provide up-front capital funding to fund the project in addition to potential funding from the City's impact fee program with
potential reimbursement via impact fee credits. The proposed costs provide one of two phases to construct the Gooch Hill Lift Station to reduce up-front costs.
The Gooch Hill Lift Station will also open sanitary sewer service to many properties along the western boundary of the City.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Growth within the service area of the Gooch Hill Lift Station along the western portion of the City can not occur until the sewer infrastructure to serve the area
is constructed.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This project is new to the capital plan. This project is under development as a potential public-private partnership. If the partnership does not develop, this
project will not advance. In the case this project does not advance, the Cottonwood Road Sewer project will be accelerated with design in FY26 and construction
in FY27.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will construct a 24-inch sanitary sewer main in conjunction with Fowler Road
construction project. Sewer main construction will occur from Oak to Durston. This work was
initially thought to be 100% capacity expanding as the original pipe was going to be left in place.
Given the latest iteration of the design, the existing pipe will be abandoned, so a portion of this
project is now in the wastewater fund. Total project cost: $1,134,100 | Design (FY25): $145,600 |
Construction and Construction Administration (FY26): $988,500 (60.6% wastewater fund and 39.4%
wastewater impact fee fund totals split over 2 years matching the capacity upgrade of the sewer
construction work).
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If not constructed simultaneous with the Fowler Road Street Impact Fee project, this sanitary sewer must be constructed in the next 5 years, which would
subsequently damage new pavement associated with the Fowler Road Project and be much more expensive to construct. The sewer main is necessary to
accommodate redevelopment growth in the south and central parts of the City. If not constructed, growth will be restricted until the sewer capacity is upgraded.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The described changes to the design of this project result in a funding shift. Replacement of the existing pipe cannot be paid for with Wastewater Impact Fees
and will need to be paid from wastewater rate revenues. Additional costs in the biennium will be funded by budget savings if available. If savings are not available
a budget amendment may be required.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A critical section of existing sewer main begins on Kagy Blvd and Hoffman Drive as a 10-inch
diameter asbestos concrete pipe and continues north through Mason, Wilson Ave, College, 4th
Avenue, and finally ending on 6th Ave. Once the sewer main reaches Olive Street, the diameter
increases to 18-inches (diameter) in size. Portions of the existing main have been identified as high-
risk given both the condition and age of the existing pipe. In addition, the City’s hydraulic model
has shown that several segments of the sanitary sewer main are at or very near hydraulic capacity
during wet weather modeling scenarios. This project includes both the replacement and upsizing.
of approximately 10,250-feet of existing sanitary sewer main Overall, the project will provide the necessary improvements needed to increase system capacity
to meet future build-out conditions while decreasing overall risk associated with critical aging infrastructure. The project was recommended to occur within the
City’s 5-year short-term planning horizon in conformance with the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Master Plan. Total project cost from Wastewater Impact

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City asks developers to oversize sanitary sewer mains consistent with the City’s Wastewater Collection Facilities Master Plan as developers construct their
projects. The developers are responsible for the minimum pipe size required by their development, and the City reimburses developers for oversized pipes
that will accommodate future growth through the wastewater impact fee program. This is a way to proactively construct the sanitary sewer system to
accommodate growth such that pipes aren’t constantly excavated and replaced with larger mains each time a new development is constructed. Pipe
oversizing also serves as a public-private partnership and provides a highly cost efficient means of building sewer mains to accommodate future growth.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The consequences of delaying the project include losing a high level of cost efficiency of public/private partnership associated with pipe oversizing to
accommodate future development. It is much more efficient to pay for pipe oversizing when the original pipeline is being constructed instead of increasing
the pipe size at a later date and with significant disruption to the public.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
All wastewater oversizing projects driven by development have been consolidated into this project for the purpose of flexibility to accommodate development
projects timing. From previous capital plans, that includes Turnrow Subdivision Sewer Oversizing (WWIF57), Urban Farm Sewer Oversizing (WWIF66),
Northwest Crossing Sewer Oversizing (WWIF54), Gooch Hill Gravity Sewer Main Oversizing (WWIF64), and Baxter 80 Sewer Oversizing (WWIF65). As the City
does not control timing of developer-led projects, it is important to have flexibility to match this investment to the timing of the need. A generalized oversizing
program allows the necessary flexibility that upon completion of a pipe improvement and final acceptance of the infrastructure by the City, developers may
then be timely reimbursed for pipe oversizing.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will either replace and upsize, or parallel certain portions of the sanitary sewer along the
11,500 feet length of the existing North Frontage Road Interceptor. The North Frontage Road
Interceptor supports large portions of the City’s southeast and eastern sewersheds. The extents of the
project is generally located between Springhill Road and Bridger Drive. Portions of the interceptor have
been shown to have an increased risk of failure due to the age and condition of the asset while other
segments have been identified in the City’s hydraulic model to be near hydraulic capacity during wet
weather modeling scenarios. The project consists of two main components: first, the replacement of existing parallel trunk sewer, which includes the replacement and
upsizing of the worst condition parallel interceptor main; second, the installation of a new parallel interceptor main along portions of the existing interceptor that
currently only have a single segment of main. Overall, the project will provide the necessary improvements needed to increase system capacity to meet future build-
out conditions while decreasing overall risk along the interceptor corridor. Lastly, the existing interceptor main that is not mitigated as part of the project will be
inspected for current condition and either replaced or rehabilitated at a later date, thus utilizing the City’s existing assets to their full expected life-cycle extent. The
project will conform to the City’s Wastewater Collection Facility Master plan. Engineering is scheduled in FY27 and construction in FY29.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Limit growth until the upgrade is completed if the pipe is not upgraded prior to reaching capacity of the line.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Engineering costs have been moved up to FY27 to be completed in conjunction with the design of Shared Used Path: Frontage project (A&C024).

W71 PRV Ph2-Automation &
Instrumentation
$7,280,000 This project involves upgrades to pressure instrumentation, automated valve actuation, and network connections
and SCADA programming to provide for real-time monitoring and remote control of existing pressure reducing
valves in the municipal water distribution system. Without this project, system operators are without vital data
on system operating conditions. Real-time data capabilities provided by this project will allow operators to
anticipate, diagnose, and correct abnormal operating conditions. Upgraded pressure controls offers improved
protections from surge conditions which are a likely cause of pipe failure. It will also improve service levels to
existing customers. This project is not in the 5-year CIP due to funding constraints. If there were more funding
capacity, this project would be in the 5-year plan.
W119 Sourdough Transmission
Main Ph 3 & WTP Tank
Monitoring Vault and
Equipment
5,300,000 This project will result in complete redundancy of transmission main infrastructure from the Water Treatment
Plant (WTP) to the Sourdough tank by installing ~2000 feet of 42" main from WTP to Nash Road. The project will
eliminate a high spot on existing 30" CCP main near corner of Nash and Sourdough Road which currently creates
a hydraulic flow limitation of WTP treatment capacity. Construction of a vault at the outlet of the WTP tank for
new valving will be included in the project, as well as the installation of flow and chlorine residual monitoring
equipment. This project is not in the 5-year CIP due to funding constraints. If there were more funding capacity,
this project would be in the 5-year plan. W166 Sourdough Tank - Ph 2
Rehab
5,200,000 Sourdough Tank is a 4-million-gallon, concrete-finish water storage tank constructed in the 1950's. Proactive
rehabilitation of the tank is needed to prolong its useful life and has been determined to be more cost-effective
than reconstructing the tank through engineering and economic analysis. This project consists of completing
interior concrete restoration and rehabilitation as identified by the condition assessment planned with the
Sourdough Tank Rehabilitation Phase 1 project as well as installing new tank mixers, a level sensor, a new access
hatch, and replacing the existing vent. This project is not in the 5-year CIP due to funding constraints. If there were
more funding capacity, this project would be in the 5-year plan.
W128 Belt Filter Press 4,000,000 As WTP production increases, sludge production will increase. A belt filter press with associated building and
piping will be necessary to accommodate this increase. In case of a forest fire in the watersheds, even more sludge
will be produced which will out-pace drying bed capacity. This project will be added to the 5-year CIP in the year
the need is anticipated It is expected to be needed in the 5-10 year timeframe. That analysis is underway.
W125 Sourdough Bypass
Expansion
1,250,000 The sourdough bypass flow control building is a hydraulic limitation in delivering water to the City given the
existing transmission main configurations. This project will expand the hydraulic capacity of the bypass piping and
flow control valve. This project may or may not be needed given the analysis in progress and alternative selected
for the WIF59 West Transmission Main and New South Pressure Zone project. Alternatives for this work are
currently being evaluated by engineering consultant analysis. Upon completion of that analysis, necessary
improvements will be programmed in future CIPs.

W157 Hydrant Leak Detectors $1,800,000 The City is looking to pilot a leak detection system that mounts to fire hydrants and will detect for leaks daily. This
capital item will be the first major installation in a move to a complete install to cover the entire water system. This
is a strong move toward improving our water conservation effort by being able to find and fix leaks in water mains.
The first of approximately four installations is scheduled in FY30 with the remaining planned for installation FY31,
FY32, and FY33
W123 Chemical Storage Tanks 1,000,000 This project is planned in anticipation of the chlorine, caustic, fluoride, ach, and citric acid chemical bulk tanks
nearing end of useful life. As tanks age, the internal lining begins to break down and leak. One tank is already
starting to leak and has been repaired once. In total, there are 14 storage tanks of various sizes that will need
replacement. Investigation and timeline for this work are currently being evaluated by engineering consultant
analysis. Upon completion of that analysis, necessary improvements will be programmed in future CIPs.
W89 Membrane
Replacement
750,000 Existing water filtration membranes at the Sourdough Water Treatment Plant are warrantied for 10 years and have
been in use since fall 2013. This project will involve replacing 372 modules when the full useful life of the
membranes is observed. The City is currently operating beyond the warranty of the membranes and getting extra
life from this equipment and will work to extend the useful life as long as possible. Upon membrane failures, the membranes will be replaced. Staff have done an excellent job maintaining the existing membranes to obtain as
much life from these facility elements as possible.
WIF66 Davis Lane Water
Improvement
609,000 Design and construction of a new 16" water main in Davis Lane from Baxter Lane to Cattail Street per
recommendations in the 2015 Water Facility Plan (FP_1484). This project will coincide with the need for the work.
There is significant development in this area currently, and this project be executed simultaneous with
development improvements that trigger the need. That is likely to occur in the 5-10 year timeframe.
WWW1 Wheeled Excavator 170,500 This excavator will allow City crews to dig up to 20 feet depth. Current excavator capabilities are limited to 12-feet
depths. This equipment is not scheduled yet because there is currently nowhere to house the excavator despite
the current need for this equipment. The city is hiring contractors with sufficient excavation equipment to dig
deeper lines in the City when the need arises, such as for water main breaks. Contracting out this emergency work
comes at a premium price to the water utility.
W114 WTP Tank Mixers 124,800 This project is intended to prevent water stagnation in the City’s WTP tank and improve water quality. The project
will result in the decrease of disinfection byproducts (DBP) levels and improve chlorine residual exiting the tank to
the water distribution system. This project is not in the 5-year CIP due to funding constraints. If there were more
funding capacity, this project would be in the 5-year plan.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project includes condition assessment and preliminary design of a new five-million-gallon storage tank
at the City’s Lyman water source. The Lyman water supply is a critical element of the City's overall water
supply portfolio accounting for roughly 20% of annual supply volume to the city currently. The source
provides supply redundancy & resiliency as it is geographically removed from the Sourdough/Hyalite source
and provides an independent connection to the distribution system. The effective available water supply will
increase since the new storage system will not leak and will expand the number of customers able to be
supplied by the Lyman water supply. Likelihood of failure of the Lyman supply system will be dramatically
reduced by replaced storage. The project scope will include condition assessment and preliminary design of
the existing Lyman transmission main, new supply main tie into new storage tank, new transmission main tie
in from new storage tank to existing transmission main, and new chlorination/fluoridation feed facility. The
project includes condition assessment of the existing transmission pipe to determine extents of necessary pipe replacement while keeping portions of the pipe in place that
have remaining useful life.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays will result in continued leakage of the Lyman water storage tank and regular water loss that could be used for water supply to the city. Also, given the age the water
trasmission pipe from the Lyman water storage tank into the community, the water main may need significant repairs to avoid leakage and emergency repairs. Design work will
include a significant condition assessment effort with some destructive testing to determine scope of pipeline replacement.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Reduced anticipated FY25 spending to $500k (from $2.9M)and moved $1.5 million to FY26 for condition assessment and preliminary design investigation of project alternatives
for transmission and storage. . The construction element of the work is moved to unscheduled due to funding constraints. If there were more funding capacity, the construction
phase of the project would remain in the 5-year plan. The planning, condition assessment, and pre-design elements of the project will remain in the CIP to determine exact project definition and costs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is intended to coordinate utilities infrastructure with the Fowler Avenue project
identified in the Street Impact Fee Fund as the SIF114. An 8-inch water main will be constructed
under the new Fowler Avenue construction with a combined project. This water main is identified
to be needed by the City’s engineering standards, which require looping of water mains that
provides operational redundancy and fire protection service and will be constructed with the street
project to benefit from cost savings and minimize future street disruption to the public.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If the water main is not constructed in conjunction with the road project, the main will need to be constructed at a later date, which would impact new street
infrastructure and be disruptive to traffic and reduce the life of the new asphalt surface.

of seepage at the embankment toe. This project includes in-depth inspection of embankment and
concrete dam, and design and construction of necessary repairs to both, as well as dredging of
intake pond to remove accumulated sediment. The scope of the project is subject to U.S. Forest
Service (USFS) requirements under a pending special use permit authorization for the facility, since it is located on Custer Gallatin National Forest Service land.
The special use permit has not been finalized as of this FY26-30 CIP cycle. Total project cost including the FY25 budget is $644,800.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Seepage is observed at the embankment. This seepage may lead to embankment failure and downstream property damage, if not repaired.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will assess the condition of existing pressure reducing valve (PRV) vaults and inventory
mechanical equipment. Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are needed to reduce water system
pressures and subsequently protect water pipes from breaking due to excessive pressures. Lower
system pressures also reduce water loss rates from leaking pipes, which supports the City’s water
conservation program. The assessment will identify upgrades necessary for essential safety and to
support long-term maintenance and operations of the many PRVs throughout the City.
Subsequently, essential mechanical and structural upgrades will be completed up to the annual funding limits.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying the project is likely to result in deferred maintenance and increased pipe failures due to exceedance of useful life of PRVs. This would increase City-
wide pipe failure rates and result in increased water loss from the City’s potable water system.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Hyalite Reservoir and water rights are owned by the MT Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation (DNRC), and the project is operated and maintained by the Middle Creek Water Users
Association (MCWUA), of which the City is the majority shareholder member. Optimization of
reservoir operations and improvements to dam infrastructure will require close coordination and
agreement by the DNRC, MCWUA, and US Forest Service. This will require a heavy front-loaded
planning and pre-design phase to gain stakeholder approval. The objectives of this optimization project are to armor the reservoir control tower to enable some
year-over-year storage capacity or multiple reservoir fills during a single water year, and to install control upgrades to improve and allow for automated remote
wintertime operation of reservoir releases. Current vulnerability of Bozeman to drought is very high due to the limited water storage in the water supply system.
Hyalite Reservoir is capable of providing year-over-year storage and multiple fills but is not operated in that manner, due to concerns of ice damage to the
control tower, which this project intends to correct.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays will result in reduced ability to respond to drought conditions. Additionally, the automation improvements will reduce ongoing operational costs.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Design of this project has been pushed out one year for the City, DNRC, and MCWUA to come to agreement on project scope. Planning and design are expected
to cost $500,000 and construction cost has increased to $4,850,000 and has also been pushed out to allow time for staff to apply for Bureau or Reclamation
Grant Funding.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Municipal groundwater water right permitting in a closed basin is challenging. The process requires complicated hydrogeologic modeling of groundwater
pumping, to identify hydraulically connected surface waters, and mitigation plan development to ensure no adverse effects to existing water rights. This project
provides funding to work through the water right permitting process for obtaining legal water rights approval from MT DNRC for wells drilled under the municipal
test well and mitigation system exploration program (WIF33). This project may fund multiple water right permit applications, including for the existing municipal
test well at the Bozeman Sports Park, as well as other future test well sites. The filing of a water right application does not necessarily indicate that the City will
pursue the process to the very end. Multiple decision points occur along the permitting process continuum where the City may determine it is not worth
continued pursuit of the water right.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delay of the project could result in the City not having a municipal groundwater supply available to augment its water rights, and water supply portfolio to stay
ahead of water needed to support continued growth and development

4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Equalization storage is necessary to optimize the use and conservation of the City's Hyalite Reservoir
water supply. Currently, WTP operators must call for releases of reservoir water 24 hours in advance of
when the water is needed to meet City water demands. This operating paradigm requires the water
treatment plant (WTP) operators to call for more stored water supply to be released from the reservoir
than is predicted for demand. City water that is released from Hyalite Reservoir and not treated and
placed into the distribution system is directed back to Bozeman Creek as overflow from the water
treatment plant. Daily overflow volumes vary but can exceed one million gallons-per-day. These
overflows accumulate over the course of an irrigation season to hundreds of acre feet per year, approaching 10% of the City's Hyalite Reservoir volume being lost as
overflow. The equalization reservoir will eliminate WTP overflow of Hyalite Reservoir water by providing an intermediate storage facility for City water released from
Hyalite Reservoir that the WTP can then divert directly from in order to supply the City's daily water demand. The anticipated storage site is existing City-owned lands
near the mouth of Leverich Gulch. There is the potential to also utilize this land as an aquifer recharge mitigation site for purposes of municipal groundwater water
right permitting. The predesign effort may include evaluation of options to co-locate equalization storage and aquifer recharge infrastructure.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delays will result in significant annual water loss each year and associated cost to the Middle Creek Water User's Association contract for that water.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Funding for design and construction phases were consolidated into one project code (previously project W143 included the design work). Other changes include
reducing overall costs to $10 million in total, a reduction of approximately $2 milion. Preliminary analysis of plant overflows included in the WTP facility plan project
and potential range of equalization volumes that may be suitable resulted in a lower anticipated cost. Predesign work of $250k was added to FY27 another $750k added
to FY28 for design.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Sourdough weather station will provide the City with important data pertaining to the
Sourdough municipal watershed, which accounts for 40% of the City's annual water supply, to aid
in long term water resource management and planning. Data will include snow water equivalent,
soil moisture, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation among other information.
The data will support more informed and timely drought response and provide information needed
to perform hydrologic modelling to better understand fluctuations in the timing of snowmelt and other hydrologic events that impact the City's water supply
availability. The installation and ongoing maintenance of the station will be supported by MSU, and the data resulting from the project will support MSU research.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If this project is delayed, the City will not have weather instrumentation in the Sourdough municipal watershed to help inform water resource management.
Without this instrumentation, the City will make less informed decisions about long term water resource management and planning, drought response, and will
be unable to use predictive hydrologic modelling to better understand the hydrologic response in the Sourdough watershed to climate change and dry years.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City is looking to pilot a leak detection system that mounts to fire hydrants and will detect for leaks daily. This capital item will be the first major installation
in a move to a complete install to cover the entire water system. This is a strong move toward improving our water conservation effort by being able to find and
fix leaks in water mains. This will be the first of approximately four installations with more to be installed in future CIP years FY31, FY32, and FY33. Project budget
for the additional installations totals $1.8 million and is currently unscheduled.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The water industry is innovating its ability to proactively detect leaks with daily leak detection on water distribution system pipes. This is accomplished by
installing automated water distribution leak detectors, with sensors placed throughout the City. City crews will be able to repair water main leaks much faster
than current operations allow, resulting in substantial water savings and reduced property damage. The City currently leak detects the system about once per
year and does so manually. The longer a leak goes undetected, the more water is lost. The earlier this project can be funded, the sooner we can implement
more effective leak detection, resulting in improved water conservation, reduced property damage, and reduced disruption to city services.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City’s excavation fleet currently includes six backhoes and a mini-excavator. The City needs an excavator that will allow excavation to 20 feet depth due to
the increasing lineal feet of water and sewer pipe infrastructure that is that deep in the ground. This excavator will also provide more versatility in other areas
of excavation. Currently, the City relies on hiring contractors to excavate pipes that are deeper than 12-feet and pays a premium for these services.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
If the excavator is not purchased, the City will continue to contract the work out or rent the equipment. Emergency situations requiring rental equipment or
contracting are expensive.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This vehicle will allow City staff to access generators that provide power to the Sourdough water intake. A current project is underway to modify the intake, and
as a result of the modifications, generators will be placed at the intake site. The intake site is inaccessible by a normal vehicle in the winter, and City staff will
need an ability to haul fuel to the generator. This vehicle will also be used to haul tools and small equipment to remote sites as well as transport operators to
spray weeds in City owned properties in the Sourdough Drainage. The vehicle is narrow and safer to use on mountainous trails that are heavily recreated.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Staff would need to continue to drive larger vehicles on narrow trails, which also may not be possible in winter conditions to provide fuel to the Sourdough
intake generator.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project provides funding for the City to conduct a municipal test well and mitigation system exploration program to drill test wells and identify mitigation
options at various locations in and around the City, informed by previous groundwater investigation phase work, to incrementally develop a municipal
groundwater supply that eventually achieves the groundwater target of 5,810 acre-feet contained in the 2013 Integrated Water Resources Plan.

4. A Well-Planned City
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project consists of water main oversizing associated with the development projects consistent with the City’s Water Facility Plan and the approved
development plan. Public-private partnership for infrastructure construction allows for development to construct the pipe infrastructure required of the
development, while the City provides oversizing funding for future growth per the water impact fee program. This is a highly cost-effective way of building
infrastructure for future growth.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Without oversizing funding from the City’s Water Impact Fee program to match private development timeframe, future pipe size increases will be much more
expensive than oversizing the pipe at the original construction of the pipe also allowing the full useful life (80-120 years) of the pipe to be achived before
being replaced with a larger capacity pipe.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
All water pipe oversizing projects driven by development have been consolidated into this project for the purpose of flexibility to accommodate development
projects timing. From previous capital plans, that includes Urban Farm Water and PRV Oversizing (WIF67), Turnrow Subdivision Water Main and PRV
Oversizing (WIF69), Blackwood Groves Water Main (WIF56), Northwest Crossing Water Main Oversizing (WIF57). As the City does not control timing of
developer-led projects, it is important to have flexibility to match this investment to the timing of the need. A generalized oversizing program allows the
necessary flexibility that upon completion of a pipe improvement and final acceptance of the infrastructure by the City, developers may then be timely
reimbursed for pipe oversizing.

construct mitigation infrastructure approved with the municipal water right permit approved by MT DNRC; design, Department of Environmental Quality
approval, and construction of a municipal public water supply well and attendant infrastructure to connect, operate and maintain the municipal well as part of
the City's overall municipal water supply system. Attendant infrastructure may include but is not limited to: water disinfection and treatment processes, a
building to house the well and treatment equipment, power, backup generator power, instrumentation and controls, site improvements, a transmission main
to tie groundwater supply into the existing system, water storage, and hydraulic controls.

running on the hydraulic grade line from the sourdough water treatment plant tank to connect to
the southwestern edge of the existing distribution network (S. 19th and Graf Street) to serve future
anticipated growth. Project scope will be further defined with the ongoing South Pressure Zone
Pre-Design and WTP Facility Plan project including identification of quantity and location of hydraulic controls valves to connect the new pressure zone to the
existing system.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delay of this work will limit growth in the south and southwestern portions of the community not within the existing water pressure zones capable of serving
those areas.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The updated plan includes project design phase in FY29 and Phase 1 construction will begin in FY30. This plan allows time to complete the South Pressure Zone
Pre-Design and WTP Facility Plan projects which will further inform scope of the Phase 1 project and provide for potential development of a public/private
partnership to fund this infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This item funds the contracted services to update our Urban Forest Management Plan from 2016. This project would involve ample public and City Commission
input and will become the key framework for all Forestry Department Operations. Ideally the plan should be updated every 10 years.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying the project would require the City to rely on an outdated, original 2016 plan for management strategies and community outreach and education goals.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project accounts for replacements of existing half-ton pickups. The Forestry division has one remaining 2008 half-ton pickup. The CIP item will replace this
with a midsize pickup. Small pickups are needed for solo work and transporting equipment. Switching to mid-size pickups provides the same function with
substantial cost-savings compared to full-size trucks.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Forestry has a goal of replacing vehicles at 20-years-old to maintain reliability and upgrade to modern technologies. Replacements will be evaluated for most
efficient use before purchasing.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Cost for FY26 replacement has been reduced slightly to reflect purchase of a midsize pickup instead of full size. An additional pickup for FY28 has been removed
from the CIP following staff discussions deeming it unneccessary.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Parks department utilizes vehicles for mowing, fertilization, irrigation, inspections, snow plowing, and repairs of 1,000 acres of City parks. The Parks & Trails
District has approximately 20 full-size pickup trucks many of which are 20 to 30 years old. As a portion of deferred maintenance, we are replacing the fleet and
starting a schedule of regular replacement every 10 years. Due to the Parks and Trails District being established four years ago, Park staff are playing catch-up
on replacing old trucks that are at the end of useful life.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The delay of this project would impact staff’s ability to effectively and efficiently maintain City parks resulting in poor overall maintenance and aesthetics in
Bozeman’s park system. Older vehicles are more costly to maintain and less efficient, as well.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Momentum is growing on a proposal from community partners led by Gallatin Valley Land Trust
(GVLT) to utilize and develop approximately 60 acres at the Bozeman Convenience Site as a 60-acre
recreation area adjacent to Snowfill dog park. Total project cost is estimated to be roughly $3
million dollars; however, the scope and scale of the project will not be finalized until a public park
master plan process is completed. The initial funding of $80,000 will allow the Parks and Rec Department to initiate planning and design contracts including
public engagement. The total construction cost is estimated to be approximately $3.0 million dollars. The $500,000 in FY27 and FY28 is intended to serve as the
City of Bozeman’s match for a federal grant through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Program. Discussions with GVLT, Southwest Montana
Mountain Bike Association, and other partners surrounding project fundraising, construction phasing, and long-term maintenance and operations are ongoing.

positive improvements within the park system. Consequences of delaying the project include loss of public trust, planning fatigue on behalf of the community,
and without the planning of investments, the parks will remain disconnected, will not be upgraded to current water conservation standards, and parks within
the system will not provide the highest level of community benefit and access.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
New item for PRAT Implementation. Additional costs will be absorbed using 2025 biennium budget savings if available, otherwise a budget amendment may be
required.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Multipurpose heavy duty machine for clearing sidewalks and trails of heavy snow, sweeping, mowing, etc. The new machines are more robust and mechanically
superior to some of our current and previous equipment. Currently, Montana State University is using MultiHogs, with excellent results. These new vehicles will
supplement our existing fleet with state of the art equipment used in our most challenging areas and environments. Currently, our division still operates one of
these machines (a Canadian MT trackless) and it was purchased back in 1991. These vehicles will be in addition to our current fleet.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying the purchase of a snow machine will lead to less efficient processes for snow removal and City staff will continue using current inventory to do the
work.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Increased budget in FY27 and FY29 to more accurately reflect anticipated costs due to inflation.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project accounts for the replacement of a large-deck formal turf mower in FY25, which will replace the oldest mower in the fleet. After approximately four
thousand hours, mower infrastructure starts to fail on a regular basis. Additionally, new mowers are being requested in FY27 and FY29 to support an expanding
Parks and Trails District. The district has a total of twelve mowers, as of fiscal year 2024.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The regular replacement of and additions to the fleet of mowers will increase mowing efficiency, reduce frequency of mechanical breakdowns, and enable the
department to take on new parks and absorb parks that were previoulsy maintained by homeowners associations.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
Changes to the project include a 5% increase per year to the cost of the current mower prices.

CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
The integrity of the siding will be impacted as the existing paint continues to wear off. This could result in a full replacement of the siding and a much more
costly project. Windows are single pane and in poor condtion, delaying replacement will further impact energy efficiency and create a potential saftey issue.

3.4 Active Recreation
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project aims to reduce operational costs in terms of staff time and will improve ice conditions
at the Bogert Pavilion. Increasing winter and evening recreational opportunities are actions
promoted in the Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan to provide more opportunity for
people to use parks all year round and throughout the entire day. The project would replace the
cumbersome existing rink equipment, improve airflow under the pavilion to prevent ice melting,
and other changes to the site’s access (installing a gate or bollards) to make daily operation easier and prevent misuse.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Delaying the project increases the chance for staff and public injury from cumbersome boards, prolongs the inefficient use of staff time with maintenance, and
increases the likelyhood of poor or shortened skating seasons.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
This project is new to the capital plan. This project aligns with strategies and actions from the Parks, Recreation, and Active Tranposrtation (PRAT) Plan adopted
in fiscal year 2024. Due to staff capacity and cash-in-lieu funding availibility this is the earliest we can address the issue and project.

5. A Creative, Learning Culture
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Replacement of Bozeman Public Library's original 2006 irrigation system to address rapidly
increasing annual repair costs to maintain aging pipework, which have risen to over $15,000 per
year. Replacement of the irrigation system will result in decreased annual operating costs, a
reduction in water use, and improved performance of the system. Due to the invasiveness of
excavating and replacing irrigation systems under existing garden beds, it is likely that additional
landscape design and planting replacements will be required as the irrigation system design is developed.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Failure to replace the irrigation system will result in continually increasing maintenance and repair costs as piping continues to degrade. Failures in the irrigation
system will cause intermittent loss of irrigation service risking significant impacts to the viability of landscaping.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
New. Additional costs will be absorbed using 2025 biennium budget savings if available, otherwise a budget amendment may be required.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Bozeman Public Library cooling system consists of a single air-cooled chiller which provides
critical environmental controls for the facility. The average life expectancy of an air-cooled chiller
is 15-20 years. Originally installed in 2006, the air-cooled chiller is likely nearing the end of its
expected life. Additional funding for this project exists in the General Fund. Additional escalation
cost was not captured in the number that was approved by the Library Board. If funds are available
in FY27 in the Library Depreciation Fund, they will be used for the overage.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING PROJECT
Parts for the existing chiller are no longer available. If it fails, the Library will lose cooling until a replacement is installed.
CHANGES FROM PRIOR CIP OR 2025 BIENNIUM BUDGET
The project cost was increased $85,400 due to our annual recalculation of estimated project costs based on updated construction pricing data available in our
FCA system
