Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson Assistant City Manager
David Arnado Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies to convert the existing Video Management
software VRX to Milestone XProtect for the Public Safety Center
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies to convert the existing Video Management
software VRX to Milestone XProtect for the Public Safety Center
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:In November 2018, Bozeman voters approved the sale of bonds to fund the
construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center and the City moved into
the building in July of 2022 The BPSC is the new home of the Bozeman Police
Department, Fire Station #1, Municipal Courts, Prosecution and Victim
Services. The Bozeman Public Safety Center was designed to include
advanced security systems, including a video security camera recording and
management system to control the security cameras throughout the
building, audio and video from police interview rooms, body camera footage,
and patrol car dash cameras. Currently the BPSC uses Lenel Magic Monitor
to manage these recording devices, while other City facilities use the Axis
camera client. Over the course of operations since the BPSC opened,
operation deficiencies with Magic Monitor have been noted, especially
regarding the integration of multiple video sources. This proposal to upgrade
from Lenel Magic Monitor to Lenel XProtect will improve the operations and
integration of our camera systems.
“What we are replacing and why”
The Lenel XProtect video management platform will upgrade our Lenel
Magic Monitor system to an enterprise level software system which will be
able to bi-directly integrate with the proposed Lenel OnGuard system,
consolidating security camera and access control systems Citywide.
“Why this is in the interest of the City”
15
This upgrade should address the operational deficiencies observed at the
BPSC, while improving staff efficiency as Facilities staff will no longer need to
update multiple redundant systems. The Lenel XProtect platform will
position the City to be able integrate new buildings and systems as the City
grows, while improving building security and emergency response efforts
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Not at this time
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:This contract will incur a fixed price of $17,741. to be paid from Facilities
operating budget

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson Assistant City Manager
David Arnado Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies to upgrade and consolidate our existing Security
Access Control Systems to the Lenel OnGuard platform
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement With
LONG Building Technologies to upgrade and consolidate our existing
Security Access Control Systems to the Lenel OnGuard platform
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The Bozeman Facilities Department manages access control systems for all
City Facilities, including physical locks and keys as well as electronic locks
activated by security badges. To manage and monitor electronic locks the
Facilities Department uses Access Control Systems and currently is using
Lenel S2 at our newer facilities, while older buildings use the AlarmLock
system. Using these Access Control Systems, Facilities staff can remotely
control access to doors for each staff member and track unauthorized access
to secure areas. This proposal is to upgrade and consolidate our existing
Access Control Systems to the Lenel OnGuard platform which will allow us to
integrate Access Control and Security Systems Citywide into a single package
with enhanced features.
“What we are replacing and why”
The AlarmLock and Lenel S2 systems in use at our buildings are not
compatible with each other, which has required us to manage and update
several systems anytime a change needs to be made. This results in staff
inefficiencies and creates opportunities for discrepancies between the two
systems. Integrating our existing AlarmLock system into the upgraded
OnGuard platform will centralize our access control system into a platform
that can integrate with other security and building systems.
“Why this is in the interest of the City”
Consolidating our existing Access Control systems into the upgrade to Lenel
OnGuard will improve security at all City buildings by eliminating redundancy
and bringing all security systems into the same platform. This upgrade will
provide more security features and prepare us to bring additional buildings
35
into the system in the future.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Not at this time
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:This contract will incur a fixed price of $26,052. to be paid from Facilities
operating budget

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson Assistant City Manager
David Arnado Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies to upgrade and consolidate our existing Security
Access Control Systems to the Lenel OnGuard platform for the Bozeman
Public Safety Center.
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies to upgrade and consolidate our existing
Security Access Control Systems to the Lenel OnGuard platform for the
Bozeman Public Safety Center.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:In November 2018, Bozeman voters approved the sale of bonds to fund the
construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center, the City moved into the
building in July of 2022. The BPSC is the new home of the Bozeman Police
Department, Fire Station #1, Municipal Courts, Prosecution and Victim
Services. Housing emergency services and law enforcement agencies, the
Bozeman Public Safety Center was designed to include advanced security
systems including a centralized access control system to manage and track
employee access to secured doors in the building. This system is essential to
ensuring the safety of the public, staff, and criminal justice information.
“What we are replacing and why”
The current Access Control system at the Bozeman Public Safety Center uses
Lenel S2 to monitor and manage door security, and this proposal is to
upgrade our system to Lenel’s enterprise level software, Lenel OnGuard. The
OnGuard system will enhance the features and capabilities of the access
control system, including greater integration with other systems. OnGuard
can be configured to directly integrate with alarm and emergency response
systems, Human Resource and Enterprise Resource Planning systems,
elevators and other building management systems. OnGuard will integrate
with our existing access control systems at other buildings and will allow us
to centralize our access control systems Citywide.
55
“Why this is in the interest of the City”
Upgrading to Lenel OnGuard will improve the overall performance of our
access control systems while preparing us to expand our security system
capabilities for improved safety and emergency response in City Buildings.
This system will allow us to eliminate redundant software, improving staff
efficiency and preparing us to integrate future buildings.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Not at this time
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:This contract will incur a fixed price of $28,447. to be paid from Facilities
operating budget

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson Assistant City Manager
David Arnado Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies for Sally Port and Entry Gate RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) Readers for the Bozeman Public Safety Center
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with
LONG Building Technologies for Sally Port and Entry Gate RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) Readers for the Bozeman Public Safety Center
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:In November 2018, Bozeman voters approved the sale of bonds to fund the
construction of the Bozeman Public Safety Center, the City moved into the
building in July of 2022. The BPSC is the new home of the Bozeman Police
Department, Fire Station #1, Municipal Courts, Prosecution and Victim
Services. The Public Safety Center was designed with a number of safety and
security systems, including a secured parking area for police vehicles which is
accessed through gates controlled by wireless sensors.
“What we are replacing and why”
The current Vehicle RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) readers, designed
for long range identification of vehicles accessing the North and South gates
into the secure parking lot and Police Sally Port has suffers from reliability
issues resulting in intermittent failures to detect vehicles. When the RFID
readers fail to detect a vehicle, officers must manually override the gates
which increased police response times. The current gate sensors will
occasionally detect parked vehicles resulting in system errors. Additionally,
the current system’s vehicle RFID antennas have a sealed battery which
cannot be replaced which has incurred high costs for regular replacements.
“Why this is in the interest of the City”
This proposal will replace the existing RFID readers with an improved system
by TagMaster, which will increase the reliability, range and sensitivity of the
75
readers. With the TagMaster system the vehicle RFID antennas no longer
will require batteries or regular replacement, reducing future operating costs
by approximately $800 annually.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Not at this time
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:This contract will incur a fixed price of $20,707, to be paid from Facilities
operating budget.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson - Assistant City Manager David Arnado - Facilities
Superintendent Shane Miller - Facilities Project Coordinator
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with
Jackson Contracting Group for Bogert Pool Renovation Preconstruction
Services.
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Service Agreement with
Jackson Contracting Group for Bogert Pool Renovation Preconstruction
Services.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:On November 2nd, 2021, the voters of the City of Bozeman approved a bond
to fund the renovation of several public recreation facilities, including the
Bogert Outdoor Pool. The pool, located at 303 South Church Avenue, was
built in 1938 and designed by Fred F. Willson and was extensively remodeled
in the 1970s. Bogert Pool has a 25-yard pool and a shallow pool for children.
The deep pool has a climbing wall, zip line, and small slide. The shallow pool
has a slide for small children. The Bogert Pool Renovation project is to
include but is not limited to structural repairs to pool, replacement of gutter
drain system replacement of pool plaster, replacement of pool coping,
replacement of CMU perimeter wall w/ fence, repair of concrete pool deck,
repair of underground plumbing, and replacement of pool filter equipment.
For this project the City Commission has authorized the use of the General
Contractor / Construction Manager delivery method. With this method a
General Contractor is selected before the completed design of the project,
and will work alongside the project's Architects and Engineers to support
assessing and developing construction plans and methods. This results in an
alignment between the Architect and General Contractor which often results
in fewer change orders or cost deviations, as well as an accelerated
construction timeline compared to traditional delivery methods. On
November 6, 2024, the City published a Request for Qualifications for
General Contractor / Construction Manager services for this project.
Statements of Qualifications received in response to this RFQ were
evaluated by the project's selection committee, and Jackson Contracting
Group was selected as the most qualified respondent. Jackson Contracting
95
Group was subsequently sent a Request for Proposal for a preconstruction
services. Given the significant age and deteriorated condition of Bogert Pool,
this service will evaluate project feasibility and evaluate means and methods
of renovating the pool in conjunction with our selected Architect/Engineer,
Cushing Terrell. Following the completion of the preconstruction services,
Jackson Contracting Group will develop a price proposal for full project
design including general contracting services which will be submitted as an
amendment to this agreement.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Funds are allocated into the approved City of Bozeman Bogert Pool
Renovation Budget from the 2021 bond measure. Contract = $61,280.00

Bogert Pool Renovation Project
10
3.7.1 Upon execution of an Early Work Amendment or GMP Amendment/Contract, the GC/CM
shall provide Construction Phase Services as provided in the Contract Documents,
including without limitation providing and paying for all materials, tools, equipment, labor
and services, and performing all other acts and supplying all other things necessary to
perform and complete the Work, as required by the Contract Documents, and to furnish
to Owner a Project in accordance with the Contract Documents, capable of being legally
occupied and fully used for its intended purposes upon completion of the Contract (or, as
to an Early Work Amendment, to furnish such Work as is described in the Early Work
Amendment). Construction Phase Services shall include CM Services performed during
the Construction Phase.
3.7.2 Notwithstanding any other references to Construction Phase Services in this Contract,
this Contract shall include Preconstruction Phase Services only unless (i) the parties
execute a GMP Amendment or (ii) the parties execute an Early Work Amendment.
3.7.3 The parties may execute one or more Early Work Amendments identifying specific
Construction Phase Services that must be performed in advance of establishment of the
GMP, without exceeding a not-to- exceed budget, a not-to-exceed guaranteed maximum
price, or a fixed price ("Early Work Price") to be stated in such Amendment, with such
Amendment. If the Early Work Price is a not-to-exceed budget, then GC/CM shall be
obligated to perform the Early Work only to the extent that the Cost of Work thereof,
together with the GC/CM Fee, does not exceed the Early Work Price; however if GC/CM
performs Early Work with a cost in excess of the Early Work Price the GC/CM shall pay
such excess cost without reimbursement unless cost overruns are caused by conditions
that constitute a change within the Contract or to incorporate Work not included in the
GMP Amendment. If one or more Early Work Amendments are executed, the GC/CM
shall diligently continue to work toward development of a GMP Amendment acceptable to
Owner, which shall incorporate the Early Work Amendments. If Owner thereafter
terminates the Contract prior to execution of a GMP Amendment, the provisions of the
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction shall apply.
3.7.4 Prior to commencement of any Construction Phase effort, and in any event not later than
mutual execution of the GMP Amendment, GC/CM shall provide to Owner a full
performance bond and a payment security bond in the amount of the GMP. If an Early
Work Amendment is executed, GC/CM shall provide such bond in the amount of the
Early Work Price under the Early Work Amendment. GC/CM shall provide to Owner
additional or replacement bonds at the time of execution of any subsequent Early Work
Amendment or GMP Amendment, in each case prior to execution of the Amendment and
the supplying of any labor or materials for the prosecution of the Work covered by the
Amendment, and in each case in a sufficient amount so that the total bonded sum equals
or exceeds the total Early Work Price or the GMP, as the case may be. In the event of a
Scope Change that increases the GMP, GC/CM shall provide to Owner an additional or
supplemental bond in the amount of such increase prior to performance of the additional
Work.
3.8 Construction Management (CM) Services. Throughout the Preconstruction Phase and
Construction Phase of the Project, the GC/CM shall provide CM Services, generally consisting of
coordinating and managing the building process as an independent contractor, in cooperation
with the Owner, Architect/Engineer and other designated Project consultants (the "Construction
Principals"). CM Services shall include, but are not limited to:

4. ARTICLE 4 – CONTRACT SUM AND GMP
4.1 Contract Sum. Owner shall pay the GC/CM the "Contract Sum" which shall equal the sum of the
Preconstruction Fee, Early Work Amendments, the GMP Amendment, plus any Change Orders
as applicable.
4.2 The GMP shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth below and as described in
4.5. The "Cost of the Work" is defined in Article 5. Costs in excess of the GMP shall be paid by
the GC/CM without reimbursement by Owner. Changes to the GMP shall only be authorized by
Amendment or Change Order.
4.2.1 GMP = [GC/CM Fee X (Guaranteed Maximum Cost for Reimbursable expenses for
General Conditions GMCR + Estimated Cost of the Work (ECoW exclusive of the
Contractor’s Contingency))] + GMCR + Estimated Cost of the Work (ECoW inclusive of
the Contractor’s Contingency)
4.2.2 GC/CM Fee % <see table below> is calculated on the Estimated CoW (excluding
GC/CM's % <see table below> Construction Contingency, or lump-sum Contingency as
agreed between Owner and Contractor) + Guaranteed Maximum Cost for Reimbursable
expenses for General Conditions GMCR.
Estimated Cost of Work GC/CM Fee %
$0-$2.5M 8%
$2.5M-$5M 6.75%
$5M-$7.5M 5.50%
$7.5M-$10M 4.25%
4.2.3 The Contractor will be due GC/CM Fee on the Construction Contingency.
4.3 Preconstruction Fee. The Preconstruction Fee is a NTE (Not to Exceed) amount for all Pre-
Construction Services and shall be payable to GC/CM on a Time & Material cost reimbursement
basis up to a maximum sum of $61,280.00 (Sixty One Thousand Two Hundred Eighty
Dollars), which shall cover constructability review, value engineering, cost estimating,
development of GMP, and all other Preconstruction Phase Services, expenses, reimbursements,
and costs. If GC/CM's costs for provision of Preconstruction Phase Services exceed the
maximum Preconstruction Fee, GC/CM shall pay such additional cost without reimbursement.
GC/CM shall not be entitled to any GC/CM Fee upon the Preconstruction Fee. Owner shall pay
the Preconstruction Fee on a cost-reimbursement basis with each application for payment during
the Preconstruction Phase. If the total actual Preconstruction Fee is less than the maximum
108
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
13
Preconstruction Fee used for initial calculation of the GMP as provided above, the GMP shall be
reduced by the difference; provided that Owner may direct instead that any applied portion of the
maximum Preconstruction Fee be applied to Construction Phase Services, in which case the
GMP shall not be reduced by the portion so applied. Except to the extent the parties may
expressly agree to the contrary in the GMP Amendment, no Preconstruction Fee or other fee,
compensation or reimbursement shall be payable to GC/CM with respect to Preconstruction
Services performed after execution of the GMP Amendment.
4.4 Establishment of GC/CM Fee; Adjustments to GC/CM Fee.
4.4.1 The "GC/CM Fee" shall be a fixed percentage of the Estimated Cost of Work identified in
the GMP Amendment, and shall be calculated as a percentage <see table> of the
Estimated Cost of the Work at the time of establishment of the GMP. In making such
calculation, the Estimated Cost of the Work shall exclude the Preconstruction Fee, the
GC/CM Fee itself, but shall include Allowances, selected alternates, Fixed Cost for GC
Work, and GMCR’s. The GC/CM Fee is inclusive of overhead and profit and all other
indirect or non- reimbursable costs. Owner shall pay the GC/CM Fee ratably with each
application for payment during the Construction Phase. In the case of Early Work, the
GC/CM Fee shall be the above percentage multiplied by the actual Cost of the Early
Work.
Estimated Cost of Work GC/CM Fee %
$0-$2.5M 8%
$2.5M-$5M 6.75%
$5M-$7.5M 5.50%
$7.5M-$10M 4.25%
4.4.2 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, and unless the parties agree in writing to
the contrary, any Amendment or Change Order that increases or decreases the GMP
shall adjust the GC/CM Fee then in effect by multiplying the percentage shown in 4.4.1
by the change in the Estimated Cost of the Work reflected in such approved Amendment
or Change Order. For any Amendment or Change Order that increases or decreases the
GMP by more than 15%, parties may negotiate a variance to the contract Fee
percentage. In addition, if the Contract is terminated for any reason prior to full
completion of the Work (including, without limitation, termination during or following
performance of Early Work), the GC/CM Fee shall be limited to the total GC/CM Fee
multiplied by the percentage of Work completed and accepted at the time of termination.
The GC/CM Fee percentage shall not be subject to adjustment for any other reason,
including, without limitation, schedule extensions or adjustments, Project delays,
unanticipated costs, negligence, or unforeseen conditions.
4.5 Determination of GMP.
4.5.1 GC/CM shall deliver to Owner a proposed GMP and GMP Supporting Documents at a
time designated by Owner during the Preconstruction Phase. If any actual subcontract
109
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
14
Offers are available at the time the GMP is being established, GC/CM shall use those
subcontract Offers as a basis in establishing the GMP.
4.5.2 As the Plans and Specifications may not be developed to the stage of biddable
construction documents at the time the GMP proposal is prepared, the GC/CM shall
provide in the GMP for further development of the Plans and Specifications by the
Architect/Engineer that is consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably
identifiable and inferable therefrom. Such further development does not include such
things as changes in scope, systems, quantities, kinds and quality of materials, finishes
or equipment, all of which, if required, shall be incorporated by Change Order or
Amendment with a corresponding GMP adjustment, if any.
4.5.3 The GC/CM shall include with its GMP proposal a written statement of its basis (the
"GMP Supporting Documents"), which shall include at a minimum:
4.5.3.1 A list of the Plans and Specifications, including all addenda thereto and the
conditions of the Contract, which were used in preparation of the GMP proposal.
4.5.3.2 A list of Allowances and a statement of their basis.
4.5.3.3 A list of the clarifications and assumptions made by the GC/CM in the preparation
of the GMP proposal to supplement the information contained in the Plans and
Specifications.
4.5.3.4 The proposed GMP, including a statement of the estimated cost organized by
trade categories, allowances, contingency, and other items and the associated
fees that comprise the GMP.
4.5.3.5 The Date of Substantial Completion upon which the proposed GMP is based,
and a schedule of the Construction Documents issuance dates upon which the
date of Substantial Completion is based.
4.5.4 The GC/CM shall meet with the Owner and Architect/Engineer to review the GMP
proposal and the written statement of its basis. If the Owner or Architect/Engineer
discovers any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, they shall
promptly notify the GC/CM, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the GMP
proposal, its basis or both.
4.5.5 Prior to the Owner's acceptance of the GC/CM's GMP proposal and issuance of a Notice
to Proceed, the GC/CM shall not incur any cost to be reimbursed as part of the Cost of
the Work, except as specifically provided in an Early Work Amendment.
4.5.6 The Owner shall authorize and cause the Architect/Engineer to revise the Plans and
Specifications to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon assumptions and
clarifications contained in the GMP Amendment. Such revised Plans and Specifications
shall be furnished to the GC/CM in accordance with schedules agreed to by the Owner,
Architect/Engineer and GC/CM. The GC/CM shall promptly notify the Architect/Engineer
and Owner if such revised Plans and Specifications are inconsistent with the agreed-
upon assumptions and clarifications.
4.5.7 The GMP shall include in the Cost of the Work only those taxes which are enacted at the
time the GMP or Early Work is established. If adjustment is necessary, a Change Order
will be issued.
110
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
15
4.5.8 The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall include the GC/CM's contingency, a sum
established for the GC/CM's use, with Owner approval, to cover costs which are
reimbursable as Cost of the Work but which are not the basis for a Change Order. This
contingency is not available for Owner-directed design or scope changes and unforeseen
or differing site conditions. GC/CM Contingency costs will be reviewed monthly by the
Owner for conformance with the Contract.
4.5.8.1 None of the following shall constitute a reimbursable Cost of the Work, or a
change order, but maybe paid for out of the GC/CM Contingency. Contractor
acknowledges they assume the risk if the following circumstances arise:
4.5.8.1.1 Means and methods or changes in means and methods;
4.5.8.1.2 Extensions of time for weather delays, with the exception of weather
events outside of the normal or historical weather for the area, which shall be
reimbursed as a Change Order. Contractor must provide data to support a
claimed exception under this provision;
4.5.8.1.3 Extensions of time or delays for other than Owner-directed design or
scope changes, unforeseen conditions, or differing site conditions, with the
exception that, with Owner approval, GC/CM may be allowed to utilize
contingency for schedule acceleration;
4.5.8.1.4 Damaged work or non-conforming work;
4.5.8.1.5 Out-of-sequence work;
4.5.8.1.6 Work or delays attributable to subcontractors and suppliers; or,
4.5.8.1.7 Delays or costs resulting from GC/CM decisions, management of the
project, errors, omissions, or negligence.
4.5.8.1.8 Under no circumstances will any GC/CM Contingency be used for
negligence or violations of law, building codes, or regulations.
4.5.8.2 Contractor shall include a contingency solely for the Contractor’s use during the
course of the Work to cover unexpected or unanticipated costs that fall within the
scope of the GMP and do not constitute a Change Order. Contractor’s
Contingency shall not be used for Owner directed changes, scope changes,
changes in regulation or law or unforeseen conditions. Costs associated with
these items shall be added to the GMP via change order.4.5.8.3 All claims for
extension(s) of contract time shall be subject to Paragraph 4.17.
4.5.9 The GC/CM shall work with the Architect/Engineer and Owner to identify and confirm
components and systems not specifically shown but required for a complete, fully
functional Project. Owner will direct the Architect/Engineer to complete the final
Construction Documents in accordance with the Project scope agreed upon by all parties
at the time the GMP is established. In so doing, Owner acknowledges that GC/CM is
providing its services as a Contractor and not a design professional.
4.5.10 Notwithstanding the level of detail represented in the GMP Supporting Documents, the
GC/CM shall represent and warrant, at the time that it submits the GMP that the GMP
includes the entire cost of all components and systems required for a complete, fully
functional facilities in accordance with the Project scope agreed upon by all parties at the
time the GMP is established.
111
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
16
4.5.11 In developing the GMP, the GC/CM shall include and identify such allowances and
clarifications within the GMP as may be necessary to pay for elements that are required
for a complete, fully functional Project.
4.6 Cancellation of Construction Phase Services. The Owner reserves the sole right at any time, with
or without cause, to terminate or cancel any or all pre-construction services and/or not pursue a
GMP Amendment/Contract with the GC/CM.
4.7 Failure to Furnish an Acceptable GMP. If the GC/CM does not furnish a GMP acceptable to
Owner within Owner's target GMP range, or if Owner determines at any time in its sole discretion
that the parties may fail to reach a timely agreement on a GMP acceptable to Owner, Owner may
terminate this Contract without liability, and the GC/CM shall not receive additional compensation
beyond the Preconstruction Fee under this Contract and sums due under any executed Early
Work Amendment. Termination under this provision shall proceed as a termination for Owner's
convenience. GC/CM further agrees that Owner shall not be liable for any damages whether
actual, consequential or otherwise, for termination of the Contract under this provision.
4.8 Acceptance of GMP. Upon acceptance of the GMP by Owner, the parties shall execute a GMP
Amendment/Contract.
4.9 Owner Savings. If the sum of the remainder of the GC/CM Construction Contingency, plus the
actual and final Cost of the Work, is less than the GMP, the savings shall accrue to the Owner.
4.10 Allowance Work.
4.10.1 GC/CM shall not perform any Allowance Work without prior written approval by Owner for
the Allowance Work and the price thereof.
4.10.2 Owner shall be entitled to apply any Allowance line items that have not been fully
expended to other line item Allowances that have been fully expended, without any
resulting increase in the GMP.
4.10.3 If the total Cost of the Allowance Work exceeds the total Allowances within the GMP,
GC/CM shall not perform any Allowance Work in excess of such amount until either (i)
the parties agree that the additional Allowance work will be performed within the then-
current GMP or (ii) a GMP Amendment or Change Order is executed to increase the
GMP by the excess cost of the Allowance work.
4.10.4 The Contract Sum shall not include any Allowance items not identified in the GMP
Amendment or the GMP Supporting Documents.
4.10.5 If at the Final Completion of the Project, any portion of the Allowance funds remains
unexpended, the GMP shall be reduced by a corresponding amount via a Change Order
or Amendment.
4.11 Reallocating Projected Cost Under-runs after Bid (Offer) Buyout. As soon as possible after the
awarding of the Work to the primary Subcontractors, GC/CM shall review projected costs and
provide the Owner with a buy-out status report showing any projected cost under-runs,
reconciling accepted Offers and other reasonably anticipated costs, to the cost estimate used by
GC/CM to establish the GMP. This report shall be updated on a monthly basis and until such
time that the buyout is complete. GC/CM shall include with its report any underlying
documentation requested by Owner used to develop or support such report. GC/CM shall also
consider the reduced risk associated with known subcontracting costs, and the impact that
112
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
17
reduced risk has on the amount of the GC/CM’s Contingency. The parties shall negotiate in good
faith to execute a Change Order transferring an appropriate portion of any projected cost under-
runs to an Owner-controlled contingency fund, separate from the GC/CM Construction
Contingency, to be held within the GMP to pay for additional costs arising from (a) any Owner-
directed or approved change to the Work, (b) schedule changes that would otherwise entitle
GC/CM to an increase in the GMP, (c) Allowance items after exhaustion of all Allowances, (d)
selection by Owner of more expensive alternates than those used for calculation of the GMP, (e)
Owner selection of substitutions that increase the Cost of the Work, or (f) any other costs which
otherwise would entitle GC/CM to an increase in the GMP. Transfer of an appropriate portion of
the under-runs to an Owner-controlled contingency shall occur no earlier than 60% construction
completion as defined by the approved Schedule of Values and most recent Pay Application
unless agreed to by both parties. Amount shall be held within the project GMP prior to this.
Utilization of Contractor Contingency shall be utilized prior to utilization of any buy-out savings
within the GMP, for which use shall be agreed to by Owner.
4.12 Notice to Proceed. If Construction Phase Services are added to the Contract, then a notice to
proceed will be issued by the Owner to begin the designated or full Construction Phase Services
(“Notice to Proceed”). It is anticipated that the Notice to Proceed will be issued on or about
September 30, 2025, with the actual date to be provided in the GMP Amendment/Contract. A
separate Notice to Proceed shall be issued for each Early Work Amendment, if any.
4.13 Completion of Project. The GC/CM shall achieve Substantial Completion of the entire Work not
later than the date fixed in the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment.
4.14 Time is of the Essence. All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence.
4.15 Time Extensions. Notwithstanding provisions for Contract time extensions, Owner and GC/CM
agree that timely completion of the Work is essential to the success of the Project, and that
approval for time extension shall be granted only as a last resort.
4.15.1 GC/CM agrees to make reasonable effort to recover time from delays that are the
GC/CM’s responsibility and shall not consider this as a compensable, Owner-directed, or
forced acceleration.
4.15.2 If a compensable time extension is granted by the Owner, the GC/CM shall be limited to
$(to be defined in the GMP Amendment) per day extended overhead (office and field).
4.16 Liquidated Damages. The GC/CM acknowledges that the Owner will sustain damages as a result
of the GC/CM's failure to substantially complete the Project in accordance with the Contract
Documents. These damages may include, but are not limited to delays in completion, use of the
Project, engineering costs to complete the Project, and costs associated with Contract
administration and use of temporary facilities. Liquidated damages also include construction
administration expenses, including but not limited to costs of the Architect/Engineer, as a result of
time extensions or delays for other than Owner-directed design or scope changes, weather
delays, unforeseen conditions, or differing site conditions. The GC/CM and the Owner
acknowledge that the actual amount of damages would be difficult to determine accurately and
agree that that the following liquidated damages figure represents a reasonable estimate of such
damages and is not a penalty: $1000.00 Per Day.
4.16.1 The GC/CM agrees to pay to the Owner the liquidated damage sums agreed to by the
parties for each day of delay and further agrees that Owner may deduct such sums from
113
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
18
payments the Owner otherwise owes to GC/CM under the Contract. If such deduction
does not result in payment to Owner of the assessed liquidated damages in full, GC/CM
shall promptly pay any and all remaining sums due to the Owner upon demand.
4.17. Resolution of Claims, Disputes, and Controversies:
4.17.1. Either party may submit a Claim to the other party in accordance with the Contract. After
submission of the Claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Claim through
negotiation.
4.17.2. Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contractor or at any time thereafter, the Owner may,
but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim
relates to a possibility of a Contractor’s default, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the
surety and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy.
4.17.3. A Claim, subject to or related to liens or bonds shall be governed by applicable law
regarding notices, filing deadlines, and resolution of such Claim prior to any resolution of such
Claim, by mediation, or by arbitration, except for claims made by the Owner against the
Contractor’s bonds.
4.17.4. Pending final resolution of a Claim including mediation, arbitration (if mutually agreed to
by the Parties), or court proceedings, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, the Contractor
shall proceed diligently with performance of the Contract and the Owner shall continue to make
payments in accordance with the Contract on Work or amounts not in dispute.

5.2 The Guaranteed Maximum Cost for Reimbursable expenses for General Conditions Work
(GMCR). GC/CM shall be paid a maximum sum as agreed in the GMP Amendment, as payment
for the GC Work, including all labor, materials, and direct and indirect costs thereof. To the extent
any GC Work is otherwise described above in this Article, GC/CM’s compensation for the same is
included in the Cost for GC Work and shall not otherwise be charged as Cost of the Work. The
Cost for GC Work, less 5% retainage thereon, shall be paid in equal installments monthly over
the number of months of the scheduled Construction Phase, commencing with the first progress
billing after commencement of the scheduled Construction Phase. However, no adjustment in the
116
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
21
amount payable for General Conditions Work will be made if the actual construction period is
shorter or longer than the number of months scheduled for the Construction Phase, unless the
construction period is extended because of an Owner delay or due to unforeseeable conditions.
Should the GC/CM spend less than planned on GMCR’s, the GC/CM retains that balance.
5.3 GC/CM Overhead. GC/CM shall be paid in accordance with these Conditions for items including

Work shall be determined by agreement of the parties in writing. If the adjustment is based upon
fixed pricing or unit pricing:
7.1.1 The overhead and profit markup for the GC/CM shall be limited to the GC/CM Fee
adjustment except for self-performed packages that GC/CM is awarded on a competitive
basis consistent with other Subcontract bid packages which may include overhead and
profit associated with the self-performed work;
117
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
22
7.1.2 The increase or decrease in the Estimated Cost of the Work, other than for subcontract
work, shall be calculated pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 above, instead of being based on
GC/CM's direct costs; and,
7.1.3 In calculating adjustments to subcontracts, unless the parties agree otherwise, the
change shall be limited to the Subcontractor's Direct Costs plus the supplemental mark-
up provided in the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and shall not be
modified by Articles 5 and 6 above.
7.2 Adjustments to GMP. Adjustments to the GMP after execution of the GMP Amendment may be
made only (i) in the event of Scope Changes or (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in this
Contract, and then only in accordance with the following procedure:
7.2.1 GC/CM shall review subsequent iterations of the Plans and Specifications as they are
prepared to determine whether, in the opinion of GC/CM, they result in a Scope Change
so that it can be determined if an adjustment to the GMP is warranted.
7.2.2 Changes to the GMP shall be initiated by written notice by one party to the other. GC/CM
shall deliver any such GMP Change Request to Architect/Engineer and Owner’s
Authorized Representative within thirty (30) days after event of any Scope Change if, in
GC/CM's opinion, it constitutes grounds for adjustment of the GMP. Any GMP Change
Request shall include a proposal as to the appropriate GMP adjustment with respect to
the Scope Change at issue.
7.2.3 GC/CM shall submit its GMP Change Requests as soon as possible, and GC/CM shall
not be entitled to claim a GMP increase unless GC/CM submitted a GMP Change
Request to Owner’s Authorized Representative and to Architect/Engineer within the
earlier of (a) thirty (30) Days after GC/CM has received the information constituting the
basis for the claim, or (b) as to Work already solicited, prior to commencement of the
portion of the Work for which GC/CM intends to claim a Scope Change; and (c) in any
event, prior to GC/CM's signing of a Change Order for the Scope Change.
7.2.4 Owner may, at any time, direct a reduction in the scope of the project, which shall include
Owner's basis for such request, and shall then form the basis of a deductive change
order to the GMP which shall be negotiated in good faith between the Owner and
Contractor.
7.2.4.1 During the development of the project budget and GMP, Contractor’s Contingency
shall be no more than 8% at 100% Design Development stage of the documents, and 5%
at the completion of 100% Construction Documents.
7.2.5 GC/CM shall work with Architect/Engineer to reconcile all differences in its GMP Change
Request with Architect/Engineer within seven (7) days from the date of submission of the
GMP Change Request. "Reconciled" means that the GC/CM and Architect/Engineer have
verified that their assumptions about the various categories are the same, and that
identifies the reason for differences in the GMP Change Request and the
Architect/Engineer's position. GC/CM shall submit the Reconciled GMP Change Request
to Owner, which submission shall be a condition to any GC/CM claim for a GMP
increase.

7.2.6 If the Reconciled GMP Change Request is not acceptable to Owner, GC/CM agrees to
work with the Owner and the Architect/Engineer to provide a GMP Change Request that
is acceptable to Owner.
7.2.7 GC/CM agrees to make all records, calculations, drawings and similar items relating to
GMP Change Request available to Owner and to allow Architect/Engineer and Owner
access and opportunity to view such documents electronically or at GC/CM's offices.
7.2.8 GMP increases, if any, shall not exceed the increased Cost of the Work arising from the
Scope Change (whether based on agreed fixed pricing, or the estimated Cost of the
Work increase based on cost- reimbursable pricing), reconciled in accordance with the
above provisions, as arising from the incident justifying the GMP increase, plus the
GC/CM Fee and Gross Receipt Tax applicable to such change in the Cost of the Work. In
the event of deductive change orders after the establishment of the GMP, GC/CM’s fee
deduction shall be calculated as [Reduction in Cost of Work] * [0.5 * GC/CM Fee].
7.2.9 Except as provided in this Article 7.2, adjustments to the GMP shall be reconciled in
accordance with the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.
7.2.10 Execution by Owner. If Architect/Engineer is the Owner’s Authorized Representative, then
notwithstanding any provision in the Contract to the contrary, Architect/Engineer has no
authority to execute Change Orders or Amendments on behalf of Owner, and only duly
authorized personnel of Owner may do so.

8.3 Subcontractor Selection.
8.3.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Request for Proposals, this Article, and the direction of
the Owner, the selection of all Subcontractors and suppliers shall be made by competitive
offers in a manner that will not encourage favoritism, bias, or substantially diminish
competition.
8.3.2 GC/CM shall submit to the Owner its proposed procurement documents for review and
comment before they are issued for solicitation. GC/CM shall consider and respond to all
Owner comments regarding any proposed offer packages. As offers are received, GC/CM
shall submit to the Owner an offer comparison in a mutually agreeable form together with
any specific back-up requested by Owner. The competitive process used to award
subcontracts by the GC/CM may be monitored by the Owner; provided that such
monitoring shall not excuse GC/CM from compliance with the subcontracting
requirements of this Contract. GC/CM shall cooperate in all respects with Owner's
monitoring. The Owner shall be advised in advance of and be given the opportunity to be
present at offer openings, and GC/CM shall provide him or her with a summary or
abstract of all Offers in form acceptable to the Owner, and copies of particular offers if
requested, prior to GC/CM's selection of Offerors. Prior to opening offers, the GC/CM
agrees to disclose in writing to Owner any financial interest it has in any such
Subcontractor, supplier or other contracting party whenever such Subcontractor, supplier
or contracting party intends to compete on any Project work, directly or indirectly,
including whether such party is an Affiliate of GC/CM. GC/CM shall also disclose seven
(7) days in advance if they will be providing an offer as a self-performed scope of work.
8.3.3 The following minimum requirements apply to the Subcontract solicitation process:

bid opening location.
8.3.3.3 Unless specific other prior arrangement has been made with Owner, all offers will

specific time. GC/CM shall time-stamp all offers as received. Subcontractors
must be qualified to perform the Work for this Project by being appropriately
registered and in compliance with all laws of the State of Montana.
8.3.3.4 If fewer than three (3) offers are submitted in response to any solicitation
(inclusive of any offer submitted by GC/CM), prior written approval by Owner
shall be required to accept the offer. Field Work and/or Subcontracting/Self-

120
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
25
advertised per MCA 7-5-4302, and subject to the same Owner review and
oversight as all other competitively bid subcontractor scopes of work.
8.3.3.5 GC/CM may develop and implement a prequalification process for particular
solicitations, followed by selection of successful offers among those offerors that
GC/CM determines meet the prequalification standards, with Owner’s prior
approval of such prequalification process.
8.3.3.6 GC/CM shall comply, and require Subcontractor compliance with, State of
Montana Department of Labor & Industry prevailing wage rates as follows:
8.3.3.6.1 The Contractor and all subcontractors at any level or tier of the
Work shall give preference to the employment of bona fide Montana
residents in the performance of the Work and shall pay the standard
prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits for health and welfare
and pension contributions and travel allowance provisions in effect and
applicable to the county or locality in which the work is being performed.
(18-2-403, MCA)
8.3.3.6.2. The Commissioner of The Montana Department of Labor and
Industry (DOLI) has established the standard prevailing rate of wages in
accordance with 18-2-401 and 18-2-402, MCA. Contractor shall utilize the
"State of Montana, Prevailing Wage Rates" in effect at the time of
execution of the Contract. The Commissioner of the Montana DOLI has
established the resident requirements in accordance with 18-2-409, MCA.
The Contractor and all subcontractors at any level or tier of the Work shall
direct any and all questions concerning prevailing wage and Montana
resident issues for all aspects of the Work to DOLI.
8.3.3.6.3 The Contractor and all subcontractors at any tier or level of the
Work, and as determined by the Montana DOLI, shall classify all workers
in the project in accordance with the State of Montana, Prevailing Wage
Rates. In the event the Contractor is unable to classify a worker in
accordance with these rates he shall contact DOLI for a determination of
the classification and the prevailing wage rate to be paid.
8.3.3.6.4 The Contractor and all subcontractors at any tier or level of the
Work shall be responsible for obtaining wage rates for all workers prior to
their performing any work on the project. The Contractor is required to pay
and insure that its subcontractors at any tier or level and others also pay
the prevailing wage determined by the DOLI, insofar as required by Title
18 of the MCA and the pertinent rules and standards of DOLI.
8.3.3.6.5. It is not the responsibility of the Owner to determine who
classifies as a subcontractor, sub- subcontractor, material man, supplier,
or any other person involved in any aspect of the Work at any tier or level.
All such determinations shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor,
subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, material men, suppliers and others
involved in the project at any tier or level. The Contractor, subcontractors,
sub-subcontractors, material men, suppliers and others involved in the
project shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner from all
claims, attorneys’ fees, damages and/or awards involving prevailing wage
or Montana resident issues. Any changes to wages or penalties for failure
to pay the correct wages will be the sole responsibility of the Contractor
and/or his subcontractors and no further charges or claims shall be made
121
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
26
to the Owner. If the parties mutually agree or an arbitrator or court
determines that any change in wages is due and any part is attributable to
the Owner, the Owner's sole liability shall be for the amount of wages
ordered only and not for other expenses, charges, penalties, overhead,
profit or other mark-ups.
8.3.3.6.6. In accordance with 18-2-422(1) MCA, each job classification’s
standard prevailing wage rate, including fringe benefits, that the
contractors and employers shall pay during construction of the project is
included herein by both reference to DOLI’s “Building” or ‘Heavy/Highway”
schedules, as applicable to the project, and as part of these Contract
Documents.
8.3.3.6.7. The Contractor and every employer, including all subcontractors
at any tier or level, is required by 18-2-422(2) MCA to maintain payroll
records in a manner readily capable of being certified for submission under
18-2-423 MCA, for a period of not less than 3 years after the contractor's,
subcontractor’s, or employer's completion of work on the project or the
Final Acceptance by the Owner, whichever is later.
8.3.3.6.8. Each contractor is required by 18-2-422(3) MCA to post in a
visible and accessible location a statement of all wages and fringe benefits
in compliance with 18-2-423.
8.3.3.7 Owner may at its sole discretion, require GC/CM to re-solicit for Offers based on
the same or modified documents. If GC/CM does receive a responsive offer
within the initial solicitation, Owner shall be responsible for all cost and schedule
overruns due to Owner directed re-solicitation except where cause of re-
solicitation is the fault of the GC/CM.
8.3.3.8 GC/CM shall review all Offers and shall work with Offerors to clarify Offers,
reduce exclusions, verify scope and quantities, and seek to minimize work
subsequently awarded via the Change Order process.
8.3.3.9 The GC/CM will document any and all discussions, questions and answers,
modifications and responses to or from any Offeror and ensure that the same are
distributed to all Offerors, and Owner shall be entitled to inspect such
documentation on request.
8.3.3.10 GC/CM shall determine the lowest Offer for each solicitation that meets
GC/CM’s reasonable performance standards for the components of the Work at
issue; provided that if GC/CM determines it is unable to execute a suitable
subcontract with such Offeror, GC/CM may, with Owner’s prior approval, execute
a subcontract with the second-lowest Offeror. This paragraph does not preclude
the award of a sub-contract to any Offeror selected as part of a pre-qualification
process.
8.3.4 With authorization by Owner, Work may be subcontracted on other than a low price
basis, including without limitation, through competitive negotiation. As a condition to its
authorization, Owner may require GC/CM's agreement to establish and implement
qualification and performance criteria for Offerors, including a scoring system within
requests for proposals. Examples include: where there are single fabricators of materials;
122
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
27
special packaging requirements for Subcontractor work; design-build work or, where an
alternative contracting method can be demonstrated to clearly benefit Owner.
8.3.5 GC/CM shall notify Owner in writing in advance before award of any proposed
Subcontract, which notice shall include summaries in a form acceptable to Owner of all
Offers received for the Subcontract at issue. Owner reserves the right to disapprove any
proposed Subcontractors, suppliers and Subcontract or supply contract awards, based
on legal standards of responsibility. Owner shall not unreasonably disapprove any
proposed Subcontractor or supplier and increased costs due to Owner's disapproval shall
be cause for an increase in the GMP.
8.3.6 GC/CM's subcontracting records shall not be considered public records; provided,
however, that Owner and other agencies of the State shall retain the right to audit and
monitor the subcontracting process in order to protect the Owner's interests.
8.4 GC/CM Field Work, Subcontracted/Self-Performed Work by GC/CM.
8.4.1 With consent of the Owner, the GC/CM or its Affiliate may bid and compete for Field Work

and/or subcontracted/self-performed by the GC/CM, including without limitation provision
of any materials, equipment, or supplies, shall be subject to the provisions of Article 8.
8.4.3 When assembling and using bid packages, for those items for which the GC/CM intends
to submit a competing Offer for Self-Performed Work and after approval by the Owner,
such intent must be publicly announced with the solicitation for bids required by this
Article, and the Owner notified in writing that this announcement has been made. Any
GC/CM competing Offer shall be forwarded to the Owner prior to the bid opening. All
Offers for this work shall be publicly available by GC/CM at an announced time, date, and
place as all other offers.
8.4.4 For all field work and/or subcontracted/self-performed work, the GC/CM shall at a
minimum provide separate project management, foremen, supervision, accounting, etc.
as if it were any other separate subcontracting entity, unless prior written approval is
granted by the Owner. The GC/CM is expressly prohibited from using the personnel,
positions, general conditions costs, and overhead from directly supervising and managing
any field work and/or subcontract/self-performed work, unless specific prior written
approval is granted by the Owner.
8.5 Protests. GC/CM, acting as an independent contractor, shall include in the competitive process to
award all subcontracts, a protest process for Subcontractors and suppliers that are competing
Offerors, which process shall be subject to approval by Owner. GC/CM shall be solely
responsible for resolving procurement protests of Subcontractors and suppliers. GC/CM shall
indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Owner from and against any such procurement
protests and resulting claims or litigation unless protest exists in whole or in part by the Owner’s
actions, directions, or negligence, who shall then share its proportionate responsibility for claims
or litigation. GC/CM shall act as an independent contractor, and not an agent of Owner, in
connection with any procurement protest. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
123
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
28
Owner, and do not grant any rights or remedies (including third party beneficiary rights) to any
Offer or other protester, in connection with any procurement protest or claim. To the extent that an
order is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that finds the City violated a legal standard of
responsiveness in rejecting a subcontractor under its authority granted in section 8.3.5, Owner
shall be responsible for owner’s own defense and indemnification.
9. ARTICLE 9 – RECORDS, ACCOUNTING, AUDITING
9.1 Accounting and Audit Access. The GC/CM shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise
such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract; the

to this Contract, and the GC/CM shall preserve these for a period of three (3) years after final
payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.
9.2 Periodic and Final Audits. Owner may, at its discretion, perform periodic audits of the Cost of the
Work and any other reimbursable costs associated with the Project. Owner agrees to provide
reasonable notice to Contractor prior to performing an audit. Owner intends to conduct a final

including any exploratory geotechnical work, as well as from the drawings and specifications
made a part of this contract. Any failure of the Contractor to take the action described and
acknowledged in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for properly
ascertaining and estimating the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the Work or for
proceeding to successfully perform the Work without additional expense to the Owner.

Owner with respect to all matters requiring the Owner’s approval or authorization. The term
“Owner” means the Owner or the Owner’s authorized representative.
2.1.2. The observations and participations of the Owner or its authorized representative do not
alleviate any responsibility on the part of the Contractor. The Owner reserves the right to observe
the work and make comment. Any action or lack of action by the Owner shall not be construed as
approval of the Contractor's performance.
2.1.3. The Owner reserves the right to require the Contractor, all sub-contractors and material
suppliers to provide lien releases at any time. The Owner reserves the right to withhold progress
payments until such lien releases are received for all work for which prior progress payments
have been made. Upon the Owner’s demand for lien releases (either verbally or written), the
Contractor, all sub-contractors and material suppliers shall provide such releases with every
subsequent application for payment through Final Acceptance of the Project.
2.1.4. Except for permits and fees, including those required under Subparagraph 3.7.1, which
are the responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents, the Owner shall secure
and pay for necessary approvals, easements, assessments and charges required for

the Contract Documents as required by Paragraph 12 or persistently fails to carry out Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor
to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated.
However, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the
Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity. The
issuance of a stop work order by the Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to correct non-
conforming work, shall not give rise to a claim by the Contractor or any subcontractor for
additional cost, time, or other adjustment.
2.3. OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK
2.3.1. If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents and fails within a seven-day period after receipt of written notice from the

notice to correct such deficiencies within a three- day period. If the Contractor within such three-
day period after receipt of such second notice fails to commence and continue to correct any
deficiencies, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct
such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from
payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the reasonable cost of correcting such
deficiencies, including Owner's expenses and increased costs made necessary by such default,
neglect, or failure. If payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

without further written instructions from the Owner. If the Contractor is then instructed to proceed
with the required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures without acceptance of
changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any resulting loss
or damage. The Contractor shall: review any specified construction or installation procedure;
advise the Owner if the specified procedure deviates from good construction practice; advise the

Documents, whether temporary or permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be
incorporated in the Work.
3.4.2. The Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner in accordance

subcontractors install, construct, erect or perform any portion of the Work without approval of any
requisite submittal, the Contractor shall bear the costs, responsibility, and delay for removal,
replacement, and/or correction of any and all items, material, and /or labor.
3.12.6. The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor
shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents
by the Owner’s approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals unless
the Contractor has specifically informed the Owner, Engineer and GC/CM in writing of such
deviation at the time of submittal and: (1) the Owner has given written approval to the specific
deviation as a minor change in the Work; or, (2) a Change Order or Construction Change
Directive has been issued authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of
responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar
submittals by the Owner's approval thereof.
3.12.7. The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on re-submitted Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested

3.12.8. The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services which constitute the
practice of architecture or engineering, unless such services are specifically required by the
Contract Documents for a portion of the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such
services in order to carry out the Contractor's responsibilities for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to provide
professional services in violation of applicable law. If professional design services or certifications
by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of
the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner will specify all performance and design
criteria that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall cause such services or certifications
to be provided by a properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear
on all drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings and other submittals
prepared by such professional. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed
or certified by such professional, if prepared by others, shall bear such professional's written
approval when submitted to the Owner. The Owner shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy,
accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals performed by such design
professionals, provided the Owner has specified to the Contractor all performance and design
criteria that such services must satisfy. Pursuant to this subparagraph, the Owner will review,
approve or take other appropriate action on submittals only for the limited purpose of checking for
conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract
Documents. The Contractor shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the performance or
design criteria required by the Contract Documents but shall be responsible and held liable for

prior to submission to the Owner or they shall be returned without review or action. The Owner
shall review with reasonable promptness, making corrections, rejections, or other actions as
appropriate. The Owner’s approval or actions on shop/setting drawings, schedules, cut sheets,
products, product data, or samples shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for, nor
deviating from, the requirements of the plans and specifications. Any deviations from the plans
and specifications requested or made by the Contractor shall be brought promptly to the attention

Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions
of the Work.
4.1.5. Communications Facilitating Contract Administration. Communications by and with
Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Contractor to the Owner.
Communications by and with separate contractors shall be through the Owner to the Contractor.
4.1.6. The Owner will review and certify the amounts due the Contractor.
4.1.7. The Owner will have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract
Documents. Whenever the Owner considers it necessary or advisable, the Owner will have
authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the General Conditions
and any applicable technical specification requirements, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Owner nor a decision made in good
faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of
the Owner to the contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or
employees or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.
149

4.1.8. The Owner will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor’s
submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of
checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the
Contract Documents. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Owner’s action will be taken
within seven (7) days or such shorter period as is necessary to cause no delay in the Work of in
the activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time to
permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of
determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities,
or for substantiating instructions of installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of
which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The
Owner’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations
under Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5, and 3.12. The Owner’s review shall not constitute approval of safety
precautions or unless otherwise specifically stated by the Owner, of any constructions means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Owner’s approval of a specific item shall
not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
4.1.9. The Contractor will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives for
Owner’s approval. The Contractor will investigate and make recommendations regarding
concealed and unknown conditions as provided in Section 3.7.4.
4.1.10. The Owner will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial
Completion and the date of Final Acceptance, will receive written warranties and related
documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor.
4.1.11. The Owner’s observations or inspections do not alleviate any responsibility on the part of
the Contractor. The Owner reserves the right to observe and inspect the work and make
comment. Action or lack of action following observation or inspections is not to be construed as
approval of Contractor’s performance.
4.2 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
4.2.1. Definition. A Claim is a written demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a
matter of right, adjustment or interpretation of Contract terms, payment of money, extensions of
time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term "Claim" also includes other
disputes, controversies, and matters in question between the Owner and Contractor arising out of
or relating to the Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The responsibility to
substantiate Claims shall rest solely with the party making the Claim.
4.2.1.1. Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be initiated within 21
calendar days after occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim. The following shall
apply to the initiation of a claim:
4.2.1.1.1. A written notice of a claim must be provided to the Owner within 21
calendar days after the occurrence of the event or the claim is waived by the
claiming party and void in its entirety.
4.2.1.1.2. Claims must be initiated by separate, clear, and distinct written notice
within the 21 calendar day time frame to the Owner and must contain the
notarized statement in Sub-Paragraph 4.3.1.5 when the claim is made by the
Contractor. Discussions in any form with the Owner, whether at the site or not, do
not constitute initiation of a claim. Notes in project meeting minutes, email
150
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
55
correspondence, change order proposals, or any other form of documentation
does not constitute initiation of a claim. The written notice must be a separate
and distinct correspondence provided in hardcopy to the Owner and must
delineate the specific event and outline the causes and reasons for the claim
whether or not cost or time have been fully determined. Written remarks or notes
of a generic nature are invalid in their entirety. Comments made at progress
meetings, project site visits, inspections, emails, voice mails, and other such
communications do not meet the requirement of providing notice of claim.
4.2.1.1.3. Physical Injury or Physical Damage. Should the Owner or Contractor
suffer physical injury or physical damage to person or property because of any
error, omission, or act of the other party or others for whose acts the other party
is legally and contractually liable, claim will be made in writing to the other
party within a reasonable time of the first observance of such physical injury or
physical damage but in no case beyond 30 calendar days of the first observance.
The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate
the matter. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as a
substitute for or a waiver of the provisions of any applicable statute of limitations
or repose. In all such cases, the indemnification provisions of the Contract shall
be effectual and the Contractor’s insurance shall be primary and in full effect.
4.2.1.2. All Claims must contain sufficient justification and substantiation with the written
notice or they may be rejected without consideration by the Owner with no additional
impact or consequence to the Contract Sum, Contract Time, or matter(s) in question in
the Claim.
4.2.1.3. If additional compensation is claimed, the exact amount claimed and a
breakdown of that amount into the following categories shall be provided with each and
every claim:
4.2.1.3.1. Direct costs (as listed in Subparagraph 7.3.9.1 through 7.3.9.5);
4.2.1.3.2. Indirect costs (as defined in Paragraph 7.2.5); and,
4.2.1.3.3. Consequential items (i.e. time extensions, credits, logic,
reasonableness, impacts, disruptions, dilution) for the change.
4.2.1.4. If additional time is claimed the following shall be provided with each and every
claim:
4.2.1.4.1.The specific number of days and specific dates for which the additional
time is sought;
4.2.1.4.2. The specific reasons, causes, and/or effects whereby the Contractor
believes that additional time should be granted; and,
4.2.1.4.3. The Contractor shall provide analyses, documentation, and justification
of its claim for additional time in accordance with the latest Critical Path Method
schedule in use at the time of event giving rise to the claim.
4.2.1.5. With each and every claim, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner a notarized
statement containing the following language:
151
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
56
“Under penalty of law (including perjury and/or false/fraudulent claims against the State),
the undersigned,
(Name)
(Title)
Of_________________(Company)
hereby certifies, warrants, and guarantees that this claim made for Work on this Contract
is a true statement of the costs, adjustments and/or time sought and is fully documented
and supported under the contract between the parties.
_____________ __________
(Signature) (Date)”
4.2.2. Continuing Contract Performance.
4.2.2.1. Pending final resolution of a Claim except as otherwise agreed in writing or as
provided in Subparagraph 9.7.1 and Article 14, the Contractor shall proceed diligently
with performance of the Contract and the Owner shall continue to make payments in
accordance with the Contract Documents on the portion of the Work not involved in a
Claim.
4.2.3. Claims for Cost or Time for Concealed or Unknown Conditions.
4.2.3.1. If conditions are encountered at the site which are: (a) subsurface or otherwise
concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract
Documents; or, (b) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ
materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in
construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, then
notice by the observing party shall be given to the other parties promptly before
conditions are disturbed.
4.2.3.2. The Owner will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially
and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for,
performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the
Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner determines that the conditions at
the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and
that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Owner shall so notify the
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such
determination must be made within 21 days after the date of the Owner’s decision.
4.2.3.3. If the conditions encountered are materially different, the Contract Sum and
Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted.
4.3.3.4. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Contactor of its obligation to
adequately and sufficiently investigate, research, and examine the site, the site survey,
topographical information, and the geotechnical information available whether included
by reference or fully incorporated in the Contract Documents.
152
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
57
4.2.4. Claims for Additional Cost.
4.2.4.1. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum,
written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the Work.
Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or
property arising under Paragraph 10.4.
4.2.4.2. If the Contractor believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not
limited to: (a) a written interpretation from the Owner; (b) an order by the Owner to stop
the Work solely for the Owner’s convenience or where the Contractor was not at least
partially at fault;(c) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Owner;
(d) failure of payment by the Owner per the terms of the Contract; (e) termination of the
Contract by the Owner; or, (f) other reasonable grounds, Claim must be filed in
accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.
4.2.5. Claims for Additional Time
4.2.5.1. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Time,
written notice as specified in these General Conditions shall be provided along with the
notarized certification. The Contractor's Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of
probable effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay for the
same event or cause only one Claim is necessary. However, separate and distinct written
notice is required for each separate event.
4.2.5.2. Weather Delays:
4.2.5.2.1. If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional
time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather
conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been reasonably
anticipated, and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction activities.
4.2.5.2.2. Inclement or adverse weather shall not be a prima facie reason for the
granting of an extension of time, and the Contractor shall make every effort to
continue work under prevailing conditions. The Owner may grant an extension
of time if an unavoidable delay occurs as a result of inclement/severe/adverse
weather and such shall then be classified as a “Delay Day”. Any and all delay
days granted by the Owner are and shall be non-compensable in any manner or
form. The Contractor shall comply with the notice requirements concerning
instances of inclement/severe/adverse weather before the Owner will consider a
time extension. Each day of inclement/severe/adverse weather shall be
considered a separate instance or event and as such, shall be subject to the
notice requirements.
4.2.5.2.3. An “inclement”, “severe”, or “adverse” weather delay day is defined as
a day on which the Contractor is prevented by weather or conditions caused by
weather resulting immediately there from, which directly impact the current
controlling critical-path operation or operations, and which prevent the Contractor
from proceeding with at least 75% of the normal labor and equipment force
engaged on such critical path operation or operations for at least 60% of the total
daily time being currently spent on the controlling operation or operations.
153
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
58
4.2.5.2.4. The Contractor shall consider normal/typical/seasonal weather days
and conditions caused by normal/typical/seasonal weather days for the location
of the Work in the planning and scheduling of the Work to ensure completion
within the Contract Time. No time extensions will be granted for the Contractor’s
failure to consider and account for such weather days and conditions caused by
such weather for the Contract Time in which the Work is to be accomplished.
4.2.5.2.5. A “normal”, “typical”, or “seasonal” weather day shall be defined as
weather that can be reasonably anticipated to occur at the location of the Work
for each particular month involved in the Contract Time. Each month involved
shall not be considered individually as it relates to claims for additional time due
to inclement/adverse/severe weather but shall consider the entire Contract Time
as it compares to normal/typical/seasonal weather that is reasonably anticipated
to occur. Normal/typical/seasonal weather days shall be based upon U.S.
National Weather Service climatic data for the location of the Work or the nearest
location where such data is available.
4.2.5.2.6. The Contractor is solely responsible to document, prepare and present
all data and justification for claiming a weather delay day. Any and all claims for
weather delay days shall be tied directly to the current critical-path operation or
operations on the day of the instance or event which shall be delineated and
described on the Critical- Path Schedule and shall be provided with any and all
claims. The Contractor is solely responsible to indicate and document why the
weather delay day(s) claimed are beyond those weather days which are
reasonably anticipated to occur for the Contract Time. Incomplete or inaccurate
claims, as determined by the Owner, may be returned without consideration or
comment.
4.2.5.3. Where the Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the Work with
specified durations or phases due to delay beyond the control of both the Owner and the
Contractor, an extension of the contract time or phase duration in an equal amount to the
time lost due to such delay shall be the Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such
delay.
4.2.5.4. Delays attributable to and/or within the control of subcontractors and suppliers
are deemed to be within the control of the Contractor.
4.2.5.5. In no event shall the Owner be liable to the Contractor, any subcontractor, any
supplier, Contractor’s surety, or any other person or organization, for damages or costs
arising out of or resulting from: (1) delays caused by or within the control of the
Contractor which include but are not limited to labor issues or labor strikes on the Project,
federal, state, or local jurisdiction enforcement actions related directly to the Contractor’s
Work (e.g. safety or code violations, etc.); or, (2) delays beyond the control of both parties
including but not limited to fires, floods, earthquakes, abnormal weather conditions, acts
of God, nationwide material shortages, actions or inaction by utility owners, emergency
declarations by federal, state, or local officials enacted in the immediate vicinity of the
project, or other contractors performing work for the Owner.
4.2.6. Claims for Consequential Damages.
154
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
59
4.2.6.1. The Contractor and Owner waive Claims against each other for consequential
damages arising out of or relating to this Contract. This mutual waiver includes:
4.2.6.1.1. damages incurred by the Owner for losses of use, income, profit,
financing, business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee
productivity or of the services of such persons; and,
4.2.6.1.2. damages incurred by the Contractor for principal office expenses
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing,
business and reputation, income, and for loss of profit.
4.2.6.2. This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages
due to either party's termination in accordance with Article 14. Nothing contained in this
waiver of consequential damages shall be deemed to preclude an award of liquidated or
actual damages, when applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
4.3. RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS, DISPUTES, AND CONTROVERSIES
4.3.1. Either party may submit a Claim to the other party in accordance with the Contract. After
submission of the Claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Claim through
negotiation.
4.3.2 Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contractor or at any time thereafter, the Owner may, but
is not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim
relates to a possibility of a Contractor's default, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the
surety and request the surety's assistance in resolving the controversy.
4.3.3. A Claim subject to or related to liens or bonds shall be governed by applicable law
regarding notices, filing deadlines, and resolution of such Claim prior to any resolution of such
Claim, by mediation, or by arbitration, except for claims made by the Owner against the
Contractor’s bonds.
4.3.4. Pending final resolution of a Claim including mediation, arbitration (if mutually agreed to
by the Parties), or court proceedings, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, the Contractor
shall proceed diligently with performance of the Contract and the Owner shall continue to make
payments in accordance with the Contract on Work or amounts not in dispute.
4.4. MEDIATION
4.4.1. Any Claim arising out of or related to the Contract, except Claims relating to aesthetic
effect and except those waived as provided for in Subparagraphs 4.3.6, 7.2.6, 7.3.8, 9.10.4 and
9.10.5 shall, 30 days after submission of the Claim to the Owner, be subject to mediation as a
condition precedent to the institution of legal or equitable proceedings by either party.
4.4.2. The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation administered by a
Dispute Resolution Board established pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Board Foundation’s
Practice and Procedural Manual. The parties must enter into a separate agreement establishing,
among others, the scope of work of the DRB, the responsibilities of the parties, the time for
completion of the DRB’s process, payment to DRB members, and whether the decision or
findings of the DRB will be binding or admissible in other proceedings. The parties may, by
mutual agreement, submit to mediation administered by a neutral third party mediator in
155
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
60
accordance with American Arbitration Association procedures in effect on the date the Claim is
made in lieu of a DRB.
4.4.3. The parties shall share the mediator's fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall
be held in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed
upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.
5. ARTICLE 5 – SUBCONTRACTORS
5.1. DEFINITION
5.1.1. A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect contract at any tier or
level with the Contractor or any Subcontractor to the Contractor to perform a portion of the Work
at the site. The term "Subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if
singular in number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the
Subcontractor. The term "Subcontractor" does not include a separate contractor or
subcontractors of a separate contractor.
5.2. AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE WORK
5.2.1. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, the Contractor, as soon as
practicable after award of the Contract and in no instance later than (30) days after award of the
Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner, and if applicable, the Engineer and GC/CM, the
names of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated
to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Owner will promptly
reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Owner, after due investigation, has
reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity.
5.2.2. The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to which the Owner
has made reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with
anyone to whom the Contractor has made reasonable objection.
5.2.3. If the Owner has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor,
the Contractor shall propose another to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection. If the
proposed but rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the
Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the difference, if any,
occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before
commencement of the substitute Subcontractor's Work. However, no increase in the Contract
Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly
and responsively in submitting names as required.
5.2.4. The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if
the Owner makes reasonable objection to such substitute.
5.3. SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
5.3.1. By appropriate agreement, written where legally required for validity, the Contractor shall
require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be
bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the
Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the
156
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
61
Subcontractor's Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner.
Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner under the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that
subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless
specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies
and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against
the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into
similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each
proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the
Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the
Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract
agreement which may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will similarly
make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed
Sub-subcontractors.
5.3.2. Upon written request by the Owner, the Contractor shall require its subcontractors to
provide to it performance and payment securities for their portion of the Work in the types and
form defined in statute (18-2-201 and 18-2-203 MCA) for all sub-contractual agreements.
5.3.3. The Contractor shall prepare a Subcontractors’ and Suppliers’ chart in a format
acceptable to the Owner which lists by name, all contact information, job category, and
responsibility the Contractor’s Subcontractors (at all tiers or levels) and Suppliers with a
pecuniary interest in the Project of greater than $5,000.00. The chart shall be provided to the
Owner at the time of the pre-construction conference but no less than 30 days after receiving the
Notice to Proceed for construction.
5.3.4. All Contractors and Subcontractors to this contract must comply with all Montana
Department of Labor and Industry requirements, regulations, rules, and statutes.
5.3.5. In compliance with state statutes, the Contractor will have the 1% Gross Receipts Tax
withheld from all payments. Each "Public Contractor" includes all Subcontractors with contracts
greater than $5,000 each. The Contractor and all Subcontractors will withhold said 1% from
payments made to all Subcontractors with contracts greater than $5,000.00 and make it payable
to the Montana Department of Revenue. The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall also submit
documentation of all contracts greater than $5,000.00 to the Montana Department of Revenue on
the Department’s prescribed form.
5.4. CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS
5.4.1. Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Contractor to
the Owner provided that:
5.4.1.1. assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for
cause pursuant to Paragraph 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements which the
Owner accepts by notifying the Subcontractor and Contractor in writing; and,
5.4.1.2. assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond
relating to the Contract.
5.4.2. Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days as a
result of the Contractor’s default, the Subcontractor's compensation shall be equitably adjusted
157
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
62
for increases in cost resulting from the suspension. Such adjustment shall be at the expense of
the Contractor.
5.4.3. The Contractor shall engage each of its subcontractors and suppliers with written
contracts that preserve and protect the rights of the Owner and include the acknowledgement and
agreement of each subcontractor and supplier that the Owner is a third-party beneficiary of their
sub-contractual and supplier agreements. The Contractor’s agreements shall require that in the
event of default by the Contractor or termination of the Contractor, and upon request of the
Owner, the Contractor’s subcontractors and suppliers will perform services for the Owner.
5.4.4. Construction Contractor Registration: All Subcontractors at any tier or level are required
to be registered with the Department of Labor and Industry under 39-9-201 and 39-9-204 MCA
prior to the Contract being executed by the Owner. Subcontractors shall demonstrate to the
Contractor that it has registered or promises that it will register immediately upon notice of award
and prior to the commencement of any work.
6. ARTICLE 6 – CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE
CONTRACTORS
6.1. OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD
SEPARATE CONTRACTS
6.1.1. The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project
with the Owner's own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of
the Project or other construction or operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract
identical or substantially similar to these including those portions related to insurance. If the
Contractor claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by the Owner,
the Contractor shall make such Claim as provided in Paragraph 4.3.
6.1.2. When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other
construction or operations on the site, the term "Contractor" in the Contract Documents in each
case shall mean the Contractor who executes each separate Owner-Contractor Agreement.
6.1.3. The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner's own forces and
of each separate contractor with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The
Contractor shall participate with other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their
construction schedules when directed to do so. The Contractor shall make any revisions to the
construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The
construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Contractor, separate
contractors and the Owner until subsequently revised.
6.1.4. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner performs
construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner's own forces, the Owner shall be
deemed to be subject to the same obligations and to have the same rights which apply to the
Contractor under the Conditions of the Contract, including, without excluding others, those stated
in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.
6.2. MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
6.2.1. The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity
for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities,
158
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
63
and shall connect and coordinate the Contractor's construction and operations with theirs as
required by the Contract Documents.
6.2.2. If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction
or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with
that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner apparent discrepancies or defects in such
other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of
the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's or separate
contractor's completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the
Contractor's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.
6.2.3. The Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for costs the Owner incurs which are payable
to a separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction of
the Contractor. The Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs incurred by the
Contractor because of a separate contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the
Work or defective construction.
6.2.4. The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor to
completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors
as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5.
6.2.5. The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting
and patching as are described for the Contractor in Subparagraph 3.14.
6.2.6. If a Subcontractor or separate contractor initiates legal or other proceedings against the
Owner on account of damage alleged to have been caused by the Contractor or its employees,
agents, or subcontractors, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend such
proceedings at its own expense, and if judgment or award against the Owner arises therefrom,
the Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for attorneys’ fees and court
or other costs which the Owner has incurred over and above those paid for directly by the
Contractor.
6.3. OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP
6.3.1. If a dispute arises among the Contractor, separate contractors and the Owner as to the
responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area
free from waste materials and rubbish, the Owner may clean up and determine the responsibility
of those involved and allocate the cost accordingly.
7. ARTICLE 7 – CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1. GENERAL
7.1.1. Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without
invalidating the Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or order for a minor
change in the Work subject to the limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
7.1.2. A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Owner and Contractor; a
Construction Change Directive is determined by the Owner or Engineer and may or may not be
agreed to by the Contractor; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by the
Owner alone.
159
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
64
7.1.3. Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract
Documents and the Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change
Order, Construction Change Directive, or order for a minor change in the Work.
7.1.4. No act, omission, or course of dealing, shall alter the requirement that Change Orders or
Construction Change Directives shall be in writing and signed by the Owner, and that Change
Orders and Construction Change Directives are the exclusive method for effecting any
adjustment to the Contract. The Contractor understands and agrees that neither the Contract
Sum nor the Contract Time can be changed by implication, oral agreement, verbal directive, or
unsigned Change Order.
7.2. CHANGE ORDERS
7.2.1. A Change Order is a written instrument prepared and signed by the Owner and
Contractor, stating their agreement upon all of the following:
7.2.1.1. change in the Work;

without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the
161
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
66
Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time
being adjusted accordingly.
7.3.2. Any and all changes or adjustments to the Contract Time requested or claimed by the
Contractor as a result of a Construction Change Directive, shall require documentation and
justification for the adjustment by a Critical Path Method analysis of the Contractor’s most recent
Critical Path Schedule in use prior to the change. Changes that affect or concern activities
containing float or slack time (i.e. not on the critical path) and which can be accomplished within
such float or slack time shall not result in an increase in the Contract Time.
7.3.3. A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of agreement on the terms
of a Change Order.
7.3.4. If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the
adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods:

with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner or Engineer of the Contractor's
agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change
Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
7.3.8. A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the agreement of the
Contractor therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for
determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a
Change Order.
7.3.9. If the Contractor does not respond or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the
Contract Sum in writing within seven (7) calendar days, the method and the adjustment made
shall be determined by the Owner on the basis of reasonable expenditures and/or savings of
those performing the Work directly attributable to the change including, in the case of an increase
in the Contract Sum, plus an allowance for overhead and profit as listed under Subparagraph
7.2.2. In such case, and also under Clause 7.3.4.3, the Contractor shall keep and present, in
162
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
67
such form as the Owner may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate
supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of
this Subparagraph 7.3.9 shall be limited to the following:
7.3.9.1. costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance,

7.3.10. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or
change which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost. When both
additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the
allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect
to that change.
7.3.11. Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the
Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for
Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of
such costs.
7.3.12. When the Owner and Contractor agree with the adjustments in the Contract Sum and
Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be
effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate
Change Order. Change Orders may be issued for all or any part of a Construction Change
Directive.
7.4. MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.4.1. The Owner will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment
in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the
Owner and Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
8. ARTICLE 8 – TIME
8.1. DEFINITIONS
8.1.1. Time is of the essence in performance, coordination, and completion of the Work
contemplated herein. The Owner may suffer damages if the Work is not completed as specified
herein. When any duration or time period is referred to in the Contract Documents by days, the
first day shall be determined as the day following the current day of any event or notice starting a
specified duration.
163
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
68
8.1.2. Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized
adjustments, allotted in the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.
8.1.3. The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the NOTICE TO
PROCEED AS ISSUED BY THE OWNER.
8.1.4. The date the Contractor reaches Substantial Completion is the date certified by the
Owner in accordance with Paragraph 9.8.
8.1.5. The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless
otherwise specifically defined.
8.1.6. Liquidated Damages. The Contractor acknowledges that the Owner will sustain damages
as a result of the Contractor’s failure to substantially complete the Project in accordance with the
Contract Documents. These damages may include, but are not limited to delays in completion,
use of the Project, engineering costs to complete the Project, and costs associated with Contract
administration and use of temporary facilities. The Contractor and the Owner acknowledge that
the actual amount of damages would be difficult to determine accurately and agree that that the
following liquidated damages figure represents a reasonable estimate of such damages and is
not a penalty:
8.1.6.1 The Contractor and his surety shall be liable for and shall pay to the Owner the
sums hereinafter stipulated as liquidated damages for each calendar day of delay until
the Work is substantially complete: One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00).
8.1.7. The Contractor shall not be charged liquidated or actual damages when delay in
completion of the Work is due to:
8.1.7.1. Any preference, priority or allocation order issued by the government;
8.1.7.2. Unforeseeable cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of
the Contractor, such as acts of God or of the public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather. All such
occurrences resulting in delay must be documented and approved by Change Order; or,
8.1.7.3. Any delays of Subcontractors or suppliers occasioned by any of the causes
specified in 8.1.7.1 and 8.1.7.2 of this article.
8.1.8. The Contractor is completely obligated and responsible to provide written notice of each
day of delay as provided for in Paragraph 4.3. If delays to the Project are encountered for any
reason, the Contractor and Owner shall collaborate and mutually take reasonable steps to
mitigate the effects of such delays, regardless of cause or fault. In order to mitigate the effects of
delays, it is incumbent upon and the responsibility of the Contractor to provide notification of
delays as provided in Paragraph 3.10.8. The Owner may require the Contractor to accelerate its
Work or Services by increasing workers and equipment, working overtime, or scheduling
additional shifts. If the Contractor is behind schedule for reasons other than delays beyond the
control of both parties as provided in Paragraph 4.5.3.5 or compensable delays, the acceleration
costs will be borne by the Contractor who may allocate Contractor’s Contingency in payment of
such costs. If the Contractor is directed to accelerate to overcome an Owner-caused delay that
would otherwise entitle the Contractor to an extension of the Contract Time and/or additional
compensation, then the corresponding cost increase of acceleration shall be attributable to the
Owner.
164
Bogert Pool Renovation Project

8.1.9. Contract Time. All work shall reach Substantial Completion (or Final Acceptance) by
the date fixed in the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment.
8.2. PROGRESS AND COMPLETION
8.2.1. Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By
executing the Contract the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for
performing the Work.
8.2.2. The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in
writing, prematurely commence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the date on the Notice

furnished by the Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the
effective date of such insurance.
8.2.3. The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve
Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.
8.2.4. If the Contractor falls behind the latest construction schedule by more than 14 calendar
days through its own actions or inaction, neglect, inexperience, lack of oversight and
management of the Work including that of any Subcontractors, written notice to the Owner,
Engineer and GC/CM shall be provided within three (3) days with explanation of how the
Contractor intends to get back on schedule. Response to getting back on schedule consists of
providing a sufficient number of qualified workers and/or proper materials or an acceptably
reorganized schedule to regain the lost time in a manner acceptable to the Owner.
8.2.5. Completion of the work within the stated time and/or by the date stated on the Notice to
Proceed is of the essence of this Contract and failure to complete, without approved time
extension, may be considered default of the Contract. At the time for completion as stated on the
Notice to Proceed or as extended by approved change order, if the work is not substantially
complete, the Owner may notify the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety company in writing of
the recourse the Owner intends to take, within the Contract, to assess liquidated damages and /or
cause the Work to be completed.
8.3. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
8.3.1. If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by
an act or neglect of the Owner, or of Owner’s employees, or of a separate contractor employed
by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by fire, unusual delay in deliveries,
unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by
the Owner pending mediation or other alternative dispute resolution, or by other causes which
may justify delay (“Excusable Delay”), then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order
for such reasonable time as the Owner may determine.
8.3.2. Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of
Paragraph 4.3.

compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's
title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and shall include
the costs of applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and
equipment stored off the site.
9.3.6. The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will
pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon
submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been
previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor's

encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or
166
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
71
entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to
the Work.
9.3.7. Until the Work is complete, the Owner will pay 95% of the amount due the Contractor on

necessary to effectuate performance and progress of the Work, for anticipated repairs,
warranties or completion of the Work by the Contractor or through the letting of other
contracts. The Contractor will not be entitled to additional costs, expenses, fees, time,
and such like, in the event the Owner increases the amount held as retainage due to non-
compliance and/or non-performance with all or any part, piece, or portion of the Contract
Documents.
9.3.7.2. Prior to the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit the following
information on the appropriate forms:
9.3.7.2.1.Schedule of Values: This form shall contain a breakdown of the costs
associated with the various portions of the Work and shall be the basis for the
progress payments to the Contractor.
9.3.7.2.2. Project/Progress Schedule: If no Schedule (or revised Schedule) is
provided with each and every Application for Payment, the Owner may return the
pay request, or hold it, and may choose not pay for any portion of the Work until
the appropriate Schedule, indicating all changes, revisions and updates, is
provided. No claim for additional costs or interests will be made by the Contractor
or any subcontractor on account of holding or non-payment of the Periodic
Estimate for Partial Payment request.
9.3.7.3. The Contractor may submit obligations/securities in a form specified in 18-1-301
Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to be held by a Financial Institution in lieu of retainage

retainage, the Owner will require the Financial Institution to execute the Owner’s Account
Agreement for Deposit of Obligations Other Than Retainage on such form as shall be
acceptable to the City Attorney prior to submission of any obligations/securities in
accordance with 18-1-302 MCA. The Contractor must extend the opportunity to
participate in all obligations/securities in lieu of retainage on a pro rata basis to all

167
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
72
paid from the proceeds of previous progress payments; and (b) will be paid in a timely
manner from the proceeds of the progress payment currently due. In the event the
Contractor has not paid or does not pay as certified, such failure constitutes a ground for
termination under Section 14.2, unless Owner agrees in Owner’s sole discretion that
Contractor has a reasonable basis for not having made the payment.
9.4. PROGRESS PAYMENTS
9.4.1. The Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract
Documents.
9.4.2. The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor no later than seven days after
receipt of payment from the Owner the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting

the Contractor in accordance with 15-50-205, et seq., MCA. The Contractor shall be responsible
for withholding the 1% gross receipts tax from payments made by the Owner to the Contractor for
Work performed by Subcontractors and the Contractor will file and transmit the necessary forms
to the Montana Department of Revenue attendant to such subcontracts within ten (10) days of the
award of the subcontract. All amounts withheld for the 1% gross receipts tax are in addition to
any retainage amounts otherwise authorized under the Agreement.
9.5. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.5.1. Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or
designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so
that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.
9.5.2. When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is Substantially Complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit
to the Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected (“Punch List”) prior to
final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the
Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
9.5.3. In addition to the Punch List, the Contractor must submit the following with its request for
a determination of Substantial Completion:
a. A use and occupancy permit;
168
Bogert Pool Renovation Project
73
b. final test reports as required by the Contract and certificates of inspection and approval
required for use and occupancy;
c. Fire Inspection or report;
d. approvals from, and transfer documents for, all utilities;
e. Warranties and Guarantees and provided in this Contract; and
f. schedule to complete the Punch List and value of Work not yet complete.
9.5.4. Upon receipt of the Contractor's Punch List, the Owner will make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Owner's Inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor's list, which is
not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can
occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor shall
complete or correct such item upon notification by the Owner.
9.5.5. The Contractor shall ensure the project is Substantially Complete prior to requesting any
inspection by the Owner so that no more than one (1) inspection is necessary to determine
Substantial Completion for all or any portion of the Work. If the Contractor does not perform
adequate inspections to develop a comprehensive list as required in Subparagraph 9.8.2 and
does not complete or correct such items upon discovery or notification, the Contractor shall be
responsible and pay for the costs of the Owner’s additional inspections to determine Substantial
Completion. Prior to the inspection, the Contractor shall complete the final clean-up of the Project
site which, unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, shall consist of:
9.5.5.1 Removal of all debris and waste. All construction debris and waste shall be
removed from the campus grounds. Use of the Owner trash containers will not be
permitted;
9.5.5.2 Removal of all stains, smears, marks of any kind from surfaces including existing
surfaces if said damage is the result of the work; and,
9.5.5.3 Removal of all temporary structures and barricades.
9.5.6. When the Owner determines that the Work or designated portion thereof is Substantially
Complete, the Contractor shall finish and complete all remaining items within thirty (30) calendar
days. The Owner shall identify and fix the time for completion of specific items which may be
excluded from the thirty (30) calendar day time limit. Failure to complete any items within the
specified time frames may be deemed by the Owner as default of the Contract on the part of the
Contractor.
9.5.7. To the extent provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner, upon occupation by the
Owner of the Work in accordance with Section 9.9, will assume responsibility for security,
operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work (other than damage caused by
the Contractor) and insurance.
9.5.8. Upon Substantial Completion, the Contractor will deliver custody and control of such
Work to the Owner. The Owner will thereafter provide the Contractor reasonable access to such
Work to permit the Contractor to fulfill the correction, completion and other responsibilities
remaining under the Contract.
169
Bogert Pool Renovation Project

9.5.9. At the time of Substantial Completion, in addition to removing rubbish and leaving the
building “broom clean,” the Contractor must replace any broken or damaged materials, remove
stains, spots, marks and dirt from decorated Work, clean all fixtures, vacuum all carpets and wet
mop all other floors, replace HVAC filters, clean HVAC coils, and comply with such additional
requirements, if any, which may be specified in the Contract Documents.
9.6. PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE
9.6.1. The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work
at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor,
provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer and authorized by public
authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence
whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have
accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any,
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in
writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties
required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion Substantially
Complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the Owner as provided under
Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written
agreement between the Owner and Contractor.
9.6.2. Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Contractor shall jointly
inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and
record the condition of the Work. Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a
portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
9.6.3. Any agreement as to the acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents shall not be valid unless in writing. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing,
partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of
Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
9.7. FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
9.7.1. When the Contractor has completed or corrected all items on the final Punch List and
considers that the Work is complete and ready for final acceptance, the Contractor must give
written notice to the Owner and request a final inspection of the Work as provided in Section
9.7.2. The Contractor’s notice and request for final inspection must be accompanied by a final
Application for Payment and the Submittals required by Section 9.7.3.
9.7.2. Upon receipt of Contractor’s written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance and when the Owner determines that the Work has been fully completed and is
acceptable under the Contract Documents, Owner will arrange for final payment. The
Contractor’s notice and request for final inspection constitutes a representation by the Contractor
to the Owner that the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Contract Documents. If the Owner determines the work has not been completed in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, the Contractor must bear
the reasonable cost of any additional services of the Owner until the Work is determined to be
finally complete.

written notice of such deficiencies, the City may terminate this Agreement if the Provider
does not cure the deficiencies within the sixty (60) day notice period. Provider must refund
the City all sums already paid within five (5) business days. Such termination and refund
does not bar the City from pursuing other remedies available under the Agreement or law.
7.Provider’s Obligations. To induce the City to enter into this Agreement, Provider
makes the following representations:
a.Provider has familiarized itself with the nature and extent of this Agreement,
all exhibits including but not limited to the Scope of Services, and with all
local conditions and federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations that in any manner may affect cost, progress or performance of the
Scope of Services.
b.Provider represents and warrants to the City that it has the experience and
ability to perform the services required by this Agreement; that it will perform
the services in a professional, competent and timely manner and with diligence
and skill; that it has the power to enter into and perform this Agreement and
grant the rights granted in it; and that its performance of this Agreement must
not infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party, whether rights of
copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, libel, slander or any other rights of
any nature whatsoever, or violate any federal, state and municipal laws. The
City will not determine or exercise control as to general procedures or formats
necessary to have these services meet this warranty.
c.Provider must ensure the Services delivered under this Agreement are
adequately secure, and must provide a secure environment for all of the City’s
Confidential Information, which may include, but is not limited to any
hardware and software (including servers, network and data components) to
be provided or used by the Provider as part of its performance under this
Agreement. Provider represents that the security measures it takes in
performance of its obligations under this Agreement are, and at all times will
remain in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing
Provider’s access to, use of, and handling of the City’s Data.
197
-Page 7 of 18
d.Notwithstanding the foregoing, City Data, including plant information, may be
pushed to Provider through an API or third-party hardware (“Data
Connection Point”). Provider makes no representation and provides no
warranty regarding the security of such third-party Data Connection Point.
Any City Data and plant information provided to Provider through a Data
Connection Point is provided at the City’s own risk.
If Provider creates a new version of the Services to which the City is currently subscribed, it must
make the new version available to the City at no additional cost. This excludes new products and
upgrades and only impacts those products or services to which the City is a subscriber at the time
of any such release. Provider must also provide the City with any additional features or
functionalities of the subscribed Services that it may develop at no additional cost to the City.
Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to temporarily or permanently disable or
discontinue providing any specific functionality within a Service, provided that the core
functionalities of such Service are not rendered inoperable, by providing the City with advance
notification in writing. The City agrees that Provider will not be liable to the City, any Authorized
User, or any other third party for any modifications or disabling or discontinuance of all or any
part of the Services done in accordance with this Agreement.
8.Security.Provider must provide a secure environment for all of the City’s
Confidential Information and any hardware and Software (including servers, network and data
components) to be provided or used by Provider as part of its performance under this Agreement.
Provider represents that the security measures it takes in performance of its obligations under this
Agreement are, and will at all times remain in agreement with the industry’s minimum standards.
Provider’s failure to comply with the industry’s minimum standards in fulfilling its obligations
under this Agreement constitutes a breach of this Agreement. Additionally, Provider must
contractually require any subcontractors or agents with access to the City’s Confidential
Information to adhere to such Security Best Practices.
9.Indemnity/Waiver of Claims/Insurance. For other than professional services
rendered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Provider agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless the City, its agents, representatives, employees, and officers (collectively referred
to for purposes of this Section as the City) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions,
fees and costs (including attorney’s fees and the costs and fees of expert witness and consultants),
losses, expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently or intrinsically
dangerous) or damages of whatever kind or nature connected therewith and without limit and
without regard to the cause or causes thereof or the negligence of any party or parties that may be
asserted against, recovered from or suffered by the City occasioned by, growing or arising out of
or resulting from or in any way related to: (i) the negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of
the Provider; or (ii) any negligent, reckless, or intentional misconduct of any of the Provider’s
agents.
Such obligations must not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of
indemnity that would otherwise exist. The indemnification obligations of this Section must not be
construed to negate, abridge, or reduce any common-law or statutory rights of the City as
indemnitee(s) which would otherwise exist as to such indemnitee(s).
198
-Page 8 of 18
Provider’s indemnity under this Section requires reasonable notice from the City as to any claims
when brought so as not to impair Provider’s ability to defend any such claim and must be without
regard to and without any right to contribution from any insurance maintained by City.
Should the City be required to bring an action against the Provider to assert its right to defense or
indemnification under this Agreement or under the Provider’s applicable insurance policies
required below, the City must be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in
asserting its right to indemnification or defense but only if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines the Provider was obligated to defend the claim(s), or was obligated to indemnify the
City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.
In the event of an action filed against the City resulting from the City’s performance under this
Agreement, the City may elect to represent itself and incur all costs and expenses of suit.
Provider also waives any and all claims and recourse against the City, including the right of
contribution for loss or damage to person or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way
connected with or incident to the performance of this Agreement except “responsibility for City’s
own fraud, for willful injury to the person or property of another, or for violation of law, whether
willful or negligent” as per 28-2-702, MCA.
These obligations must survive termination of this Agreement and the services performed
hereunder.
In addition to and independent from the above, Provider must at Provider’s expense secure
insurance coverage through an insurance company or companies duly licensed and authorized to
conduct insurance business in Montana which insures the liabilities and obligations specifically
assumed by the Provider in this Section. The insurance coverage must not contain any exclusion
for liabilities specifically assumed by the Provider in this Section.
The insurance must cover and apply to all claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and expenses
that may be asserted or claimed against, recovered from, or suffered by the City without limit and
without regard to the cause therefore and which is acceptable to the City. Provider must furnish
to the City an accompanying certificate of insurance and accompanying endorsements in amounts
not less than as follows:
Workers’ Compensation – statutory;

The above amounts must be exclusive of defense costs. The City must be endorsed as an additional
insured on a primary non-contributory basis on the Commercial General, Employer’s Liability,
Automobile Liability, and Cyber Liability policies. The insurance and required endorsements
must be in a form suitable to City and must include no less than a thirty (30) day notice of

independent contractor for purposes of this Agreement and is not to be considered an employee of the City for
any purpose. Contractor is not subject to the terms and provisions of the City’s personnel policies handbook and

authorized to represent the City or otherwise bind the City in any dealings between Contractor and any third
parties.
Contractor shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Workers’ Compensation Act, Title 39,
Chapter 71, Montana Code Annotated (MCA), and the Occupational Disease Act of Montana, Title 39, Chapter
71, MCA. Contractor shall maintain workers’ compensation coverage for all members and employees of

labor problems or disputes. The specific steps Contractor shall take shall be left to the discretion of Contractor;
provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action. Contractor shall provide
immediate relief to the City so as to permit the services to continue at no additional cost to City.

fees of expert witness and consultants), losses, expenses, liabilities (including liability where activity is inherently

negate, abridge, or reduce any common-law or statutory rights of the City as indemnitee(s) which would otherwise
exist as to such indemnitee(s).

from any insurance maintained by City.
Should the City be required to bring an action against the Contractor to assert its right to defense or
indemnification under this Agreement or under the Contractor’s applicable insurance policies required below, the
City shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in asserting its right to indemnification
or defense but only if a court of competent jurisdiction determines the Contractor was obligated to defend the
claim(s) or was obligated to indemnify the City for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.

The Downtown Bozeman Urban Renewal District board (URD) will foster an economically thriving district that:
1) attracts investment; 2) stabilizes and strengthens the tax base; and 3) supports the vitality and diversity of
the Gallatin Valley as its social and cultural center.
In 1995, the City Commission adopted the Urban Renewal Plan for downtown Bozeman which was
subsequently amended in 2015. The intent and purpose of the Urban Renewal Plan emphasizes:
1. Bozeman’s historical character as a “working” downtown shall be maintained.
2. Traffic movement and access shall be designed with the emphasis on the downtown as a designation
rather than improving the flow of through traffic.
3. The facilitation of private/public partnerships is encouraged in the implementation of the Plan.
4. Objectives shall be accomplished by incentives whenever possible.
5. Private property rights will be respected.
6. Administrative practices shall be conducted in a constructive manner which fosters cooperation.
7. This Plan is further detailed, refined, prioritized and implemented by the “Downtown Improvement
Plan” which outlines specific programs and projects consistent with the Urban Renewal Plan.
The Urban Renewal Plan established nine “Guiding Principles” to provide direction for improving Bozeman’s
historic downtown. The Urban Renewal Study Committee considered the first three principles more important
than the next three with the last three the least important. However, the Committee deemed all nine
principles to be vital to achieving the vision for downtown. Key implementation actions were identified for
each principle (may apply to multiple principles but are only listed once below).
1. Strengthen downtown’s economic vitality
2. Improve the safety, security and health of the district
3. The image of downtown shall be continuously improved
4. Downtown’s accessibility shall be improved
5. “Community Partnership” is fundamental to downtown’s success
6. Downtown’s diversity shall be facilitated
7. The cost of projects and programs shall be weighed against their benefits
8. Downtown shall become more user friendly
9. Cultural activities shall be nurtured and expanded downtown

Scope of Services: Exhibit “A”
Downtown Business Improvement District
FY2026 BID Work Plan and Budget
BID Mission Statement
The BID is an organization of downtown property owners who through thoughtful, pro-active
collaboration and partnership with local government, business owners, residents and citizens strive to
create a shared vision and voice for the community of downtown Bozeman. The BID will commit
resources, identify, plan and act on short-term and long-term initiatives otherwise unavailable to
individual owners. The BID has a goal of ensuring the long-term preservation and vitality of the city’s
underlying economic, cultural, social and environmental assets and the BID will work together to keep
our downtown a safe, beautiful and vibrant place.
BID Assessment Programs
The following programs are funded by the special assessments collected from property owners within the
Downtown Business Improvement District. The BID assessment for FY2025 will be $280,000. The BID
will also receive approximately $54,000 in additional revenue from sponsorships and maintenance
contracts.
Downtown Bozeman Partnership ($82,500)
The BID is a member of the Downtown Bozeman Partnership. The BID contributes to the administration
of the Downtown Partnership office located at 222 East Main Street.
Downtown Bozeman Association ($28,000)
The BID contributes to the DBA to support its events, staff and marketing efforts to promote downtown.
The DBA hosts events downtown that include Art Walks, Music on Main, Crazy Days, Cruisin’ on Main
Car Show, Cat Walk, Restaurant Week and more.
Summer Flowers ($34,900)
This will be the second summer with 318 Earth Planter baskets. The Earth Planter baskets provide
improved plant growth by regulating water delivery based on soil conditions while reducing labor costs,
fuel and water usage. The baskets only need to be watered two to three times per week rather than seven
days a week. These flower baskets are hung throughout downtown from June through September. This
amount covers the planting cost and water cost.
Holiday Lighting ($21,175)
The BID installs the following holiday lighting downtown: 1) lighted garland on each historic lamp post
along Main Street; 2) lights on the large conifer trees in Soroptomist Park; 3) garland wreaths at the
Rouse, Church, Wallace, and Grand intersections; and 4) the infamous holiday “spider” decorations above
four downtown intersections. The green decoration was replaced in 2022, the red in 2023, gold in 2024
and white in 2025. The BID board will earmark reserve funds for the spider replacements, new garland
and bows.
Maintenance Program ($115,900)
The BID hires maintenance employees for winter and summer seasons. Primary tasks performed by the
BID maintenance staff includes garbage collection, flower watering, tree watering, Soroptomist Park
upkeep, installation of the streetlamp banners, maintenance of pedestrian benches, graffiti removal, and
237
Professional Services Agreement for
the Administration of the Downtown Bozeman Business Improvement District FY 2026
Page 12 of 13
garage cleaning. The BID maintenance staff removed over 4,100 bags of garbage and recycling during the
past year from over 100 receptacles.
Downtown Safety Program ($15,000)
There is an opportunity to partner with the Downtown URD and the Art & Safety Grant to provide
funding for safety improvements in the downtown area including flood/security lights. The board would
like to begin planning alongside the Bozeman Police Department for a dedicated downtown resource
officer as the needs of the downtown community shift. This will take several years to establish and would
eventually be a split salary funding by downtown and BPD. We would like to leave money allocated in
the budget for this initiative.
Graffiti Removal Program ($7,900)
The BID offers a comprehensive graffiti removal program. Since 2009, this program has removed over
4,000 graffiti tags. The BID maintenance staff removes tags from public property and works with
property owners to clean private buildings of graffiti. The BID partners with Clean Slate Group to remove
tags that they are unable to remove. The BID will continue to actively remove new tags as quickly as
possible considering immediate removal has proven to be the most effective deterrent.
Downtown Banners ($3,000)
The BID purchases, installs and maintains the DTNBZN light pole banners. Seasonally the BID installs
banners for MSU, Bozeman Farmers Market, Bridger Bowl, Big Sky Resort, Sweet Pea, SLAM, BYEP,
Bozeman Health, BridgerCare, Greater Yellowstone Coalition and more.
Downtown Marketing ($3,000)
The BID contributes to the general marketing of downtown Bozeman. These funds are made available to
the Downtown Partnership which places advertisements in ten to twelve local, regional and state-wide
publications.
Vehicle Maintenance ($12,150)
The BID owns and maintains a maintenance truck and two mules/ATVs. This expense covers fuel,
insurance, repairs and tires as needed.
Maintenance Supplies ($8,000)
The BID purchases a wide variety of maintenance supplies for various programs, including trash bags.

SYSTEM SUPPORT WORKFLOW
AVI Systems follows an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework with our approach to technology
services. Generally, our tiered workflow approach will follow this structure:
1. Incident is reported via monitoring (when purchased), phone, email, or portal (when available)
2. Incident is logged in ServiceNow and triaged (Tier 1)
3. UC / AV / DM Troubleshooting and Remote Resolution (Tier 2)
a. Tier 2 remediation (and SLA) begins after Tier 1 triage has been completed.
4. Dispatch Escalation and Resolution (Tier 3)
a. Tier 3 Escalation (and SLA) begins after Tier 2 remediation has been attempted.
SERVICE COVERAGE TIME & TIER LEVELS DESCRIPTION
Coverage hours for the ProSupport department are defined as:
8 x 5 AVI Systems will provide 8 x 5 coverage across the time zone
locations of the systems under coverage (North America only)
AVI Systems ProSupport department is the initial contact point for any incoming incident. Upon identification of an issue,
the ProSupport team will attempt to restore the technology service back to normal operations. Remediation activities will
take place at different tiers of service, but all following a specific workflow. A general description of what happens at each
tier level is as follows:
TIER 1 SERVICES:
245
Printed on May 01, 2025 Page 6 of 8 1352743
Tier 1 services are the initial point of contact for any issue and are primarily made up of Incident Management
responsibilities. Typical responsibilities for Tier 1 include:
• Taking ownership of incidents in our ServiceNow ITSM system for all issues reported or alerted on. Each incident
request will have a unique reference number which is used to allow the support staff to quickly locate, add to or
communicate the status of the user’s issue or request.
• Assign a severity or update the severity of each incident (Critical, Standard, or Request)
• Provide electronic receipt notification for each incident.
• Provide rapid response and initial triage and technical support.
• Perform remote trouble isolation, resolution, or escalation to a Tier 2 Technician if needed.
• Ongoing status updates and case management through incident resolution.
TIER 2 SERVICES:
Tier 2 services are made up of various remote resolver groups. Escalations will take place at this level. AVI Systems will
engage with a remote resolver that specializes in the incident in question. Typical responsibilities for Tier 2 include:
• Specific fault isolation down to the component level.
• Perform specific hardware configuration changes.
• Perform overall system configuration changes.
• In-depth analysis, log analysis, fault tracking and tracing.
• In-depth understanding of the core technologies utilized for corrective action.
• Promote the incident to Tier 3 escalation as needed.
TIER 3 SERVICES (available as SSA master number - if included):
Tier 3 services are made up of onsite resources that are available for dispatch. The ProSupport team will take the
learnings from Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams and dispatch a site technician with the correct repair or replacement technology to
fully resolve the incident. Typical responsibilities for Tier 3 include:
• Room repair and configuration changes.
• Control and audio system programming.
• Hardware swaps of on-hand critical components.
• Coordination of replacement parts.
• RMA or equipment returns to the manufacturer.
• Advanced diagnostic troubleshooting of cable paths and component level devices.
• Software and firmware updates, as well as identification of incompatible revisions.
• Acceptance testing of the resolved system.
• System health checks (preventative maintenance).
• System reimaging to correct OS/BIOS failures or to generally reconstruct a system back to functionality.
PROBLEM MANAGEMENT:
AVI Systems has a proven problem management process aimed to resolve the root causes of any Tier 3 incidents that
are unresolved. Unfortunately, there are occasions where multiple issues happen across multiple platforms. These
issues are escalated into an ITIL “Problem”. A "problem" in this context is the unknown underlying cause of one or more
incidents, and a 'known error' is a problem that is successfully diagnosed and for which either a work-around or a
permanent resolution has been identified. Problems can also be identified from a single significant incident, indicative of a
single error, for which the cause is unknown, but for which the impact is significant.
A known error is a condition identified by successful diagnosis of the root cause of a problem, and the subsequent
development of a work-around. Problem management differs from incident management in that Problem Management
aims primarily to find and resolve the root cause of a problem and thus prevent further incidents while the purpose of
Incident Management is to return the service to normal level as soon as possible, with the shortest possible business
impact.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Griffin Nielsen, Water Resource Engineer
Shawn Kohtz, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Master Task
Order Agreement with HDR for on-call engineering services for the City of
Bozeman Water Treatment Division
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Master Task
Order Agreement with HDR for on-call engineering services for the City of
Bozeman Water Treatment Division.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The City’s Water Treatment Division operates and maintains a wide variety of
complex systems at the City’s water treatment plants and within the water
distribution system. The Water Treatment Division and Utilities Department
staff work closely to operate and maintain these systems; however, projects
and situations occasionally arise that require outside engineering support.
Having outside engineering services available through an on-call agreement
better positions the division to quickly respond to needs as they arise.
A request for qualifications for on-call engineering services was advertised
on November 16th, 2024. Three statements of qualification were received.
Upon review of the submission, City staff determined that HDR is qualified to
provide the range of engineering services necessary for the Water
Treatment Division.
The attached Professional Services Master Task Order Agreement (on-call
agreement) has been negotiated with HDR. As work arises, the on-call
agreement requires negotiation of individual task orders. The initial term of
the on-call agreement expires December 31, 2027, but may be extended
upon mutual agreement of the parties for up to two additional years.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission
261
FISCAL EFFECTS:As work arises, individual task orders will be negotiated prior to proceeding
with work. Task order costs will be funded by the Utilities Department's
operating budgets.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Griffin Nielsen, Water Resource Engineer
Shawn Kohtz, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Master Task
Order Agreement with HDR for on-call engineering services for the City of
Bozeman Water Reclamation Facility
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Master Task
Order Agreement with HDR for on-call engineering services for the City of
Bozeman Water Reclamation Facility.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The City operates and maintains a wide variety of complex systems at the
Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and within the wastewater collection
system. The Water Reclamation Facility and Utilities Department staff work
closely to operate and maintain these systems; however, projects and
situations occasionally arise that require outside engineering support. Having
outside engineering services available through an on-call agreement better
positions the division to quickly respond to needs as they arise.
A request for qualifications for on-call engineering services was advertised
on November 16th, 2024. Four statements of qualification were received.
Upon review of the submission, City staff determined that HDR is qualified to
provide the range of engineering services necessary for the Water
Reclamation Facility.
The attached Professional Services Master Task Order Agreement (on-call
agreement) has been negotiated with HDR. As work arises, the on-call
agreement requires negotiation of individual task orders. The initial term of
the on-call agreement expires December 31, 2027, but may be extended
upon mutual agreement of the parties for up to two additional years.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission
275
FISCAL EFFECTS:As work arises, individual task orders will be negotiated prior to proceeding
with work. Task order costs will be funded by the Utilities Department's
operating budgets.

found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.

performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the

construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field examinations
of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to
be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the types

h. Contractor is responsible for the safety of the work and shall maintain all
lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
Contractor’s compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
m. Contractor, at its expense and in consultation with the City, will arrange for
the preparation and installation of the Artwork on or before September 30, 2024. As further
delineated in paragraph 18, the City retains the right to repair, remove, or un-install the
Artwork at any time. Contractor bears the risk of loss for the Artwork up and until the title
of the Artwork transfers to the City.
n. For one-year from installation, Contractor expressly warrants that its
installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly

waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.
15. Representatives and Notices:
a. City’s Representative: The City’s Representative for the purpose of this
Agreement shall be Ellie Staley or such other individual as City shall designate in writing.
Whenever approval or authorization from or communication or submission to City is
required by this Agreement, such communication or submission shall be directed to the
City’s Representative and approvals or authorizations shall be issued only by such

Representative is not available, Contractor may direct its communication or submission to
other designated City personnel or agents and may receive approvals or authorization from
such persons.
b. Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor’s Representative for the
purpose of this Agreement shall be Rob Evans or such other individual as Contractor shall
designate in writing. Whenever direction to or communication with Contractor is required

16. Locating Underground Facilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
and determining the location of any underground facilities, including but not limited to, the
location of any pipelines or utility supply, delivery, or service lines in accordance with the
provisions of §69-4-501, et seq., Montana Code Annotated (MCA). Contractor shall make every
effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage
that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities,
this fact shall be noted in writing prior to commencement of such location work.
17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the timely
completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it
is installed. Until installation and title transfers, Contractor remains the owner of the Artwork. See
paragraph 9 of this Construction Agreement for Artwork-specific warranties which apply only to
the Artwork and not to the Construction Project in its entirety. For the Artwork, the Parties agree
to sign a Transfer and Assignment of Copyright for Public Artwork, attached as Exhibit D, prior
to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of
this Agreement, Contractor and its sub-contractors which are providing murals and other artwork
related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may
arise under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”), 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(A) and 113(d) or
any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.
Contractor agrees to provide Exhibit D and Exhibit E to its subcontractors for the
Artwork. Contractor must return executed copies to the City at the time title transfers. Once the
Transfer of Copyright for Public Artwork is executed, the City will become copyright owner and
take title in and to the Artwork, and any and all drawings, sketches, models, and any other
documents or materials created by the Contractor in furtherance of the Artwork. The Contractor
agrees to deliver to the City all such materials within five (5) working days of title transfer.
19. Maintenance, Repairs, and Alterations of the Artwork. The City recognizes that
due to the nature of the Artwork, maintenance is essential. Upon transfer of the title of Artwork
and legal ownership passes to the City, as set forth in paragraph 18, the City retains full discretion
and responsibility to maintain and protect the Artwork. The City retains the sole right to determine
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

whether, when, and to what extent any repairs to the Artwork will occur. The City is not obligated
to provide the Contractor or any of its subcontractors for the Artwork notice before undertaking
any repairs or modifications to the Artwork. However, the City shall endeavor to notify the
Contractor of any proposed alteration of the Artwork. Contractor is responsible for maintaining a
current contact person and contact information to receive such notice. If Contractor receives such
notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is
under no obligation to provide notice to the Contractor if the Contractor fails to maintain such
contact information with the City.
Because the Artwork is attached to the City’s property, Contractor agrees to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the City against any and all liability, damage, loss, or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation, incurred by the City for any and all claims
raised under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
Should the City determine that the removal or extraction of the Artwork is necessary,
Contractor retains first priority to reclaim physical possession of the Artwork. In such an instance,
Contractor is responsible for all associated costs of such removal.
20. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state and
federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all workers’
compensation laws, all environmental laws including, but not limited to, the generation and
disposal of hazardous waste, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules,
codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City,
County, and State building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all non-
discrimination, affirmative action, and utilization of minority and small business statutes and
regulations.
21. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay: Contractor agrees that all hiring by Contractor
of persons performing this Agreement shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Contractor
will have a policy to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state
and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts. Contractor shall not refuse
employment to a person, bar a person from employment, or discriminate against a person in
compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion,
creed, political ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual
orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of
the position require an age, physical or mental disability, marital status or sex distinction.
Contractor shall be subject to and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section
140, Title 2, United States Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.

Contractor has been found guilty of within 60 days of such finding for violations occurring during
the term of this Agreement.

services under this Agreement.
22. Intoxicants; DOT Drug and Alcohol Regulations: Contractor shall not permit or
suffer the introduction or use of any intoxicants, including alcohol or illegal drugs, upon the site
of the Construction Project. Contractor acknowledges it is aware of and shall comply with its
responsibilities and obligations under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
governing anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention plans and related testing. City shall have the
right to request proof of such compliance and Contractor shall be obligated to furnish such proof.
The Contractor shall be responsible for instructing and training the Contractor's employees
and agents in proper and specified work methods and procedures. The Contractor shall provide
continuous inspection and supervision of the work performed. The Contractor is responsible for
instructing its employees and agents in safe work practices.

be paid to the Contractor’s employees and the frequency of such payments (i.e., hourly
wage employees shall be paid weekly). Such posting shall be made in a prominent and
accessible location at the site of the Construction Project and shall be made no later than
the first day of work. Such posting shall be removed only upon the final completion of the
Construction Project and the termination of this Agreement.
b. In performing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the work on
the Construction Project, Contractor shall give preference to the employment of bona fide
residents of Montana, as required by §18-2-403, MCA, and as such, term is defined by
§18-2-401(1), MCA. When making assignments of work, Contractor shall use workers
both skilled in their trade and specialized in their field of work for all work to which they
are assigned.

Labor and Industry and which are applicable to Gallatin County. Contractor shall pay all
hourly wage employees on a weekly basis. Violation of the requirements to pay applicable
prevailing wage rates may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in §18-2-407,
MCA. Contractor shall maintain payroll records and provide certified copies to the City.
Contractor shall maintain such payroll records during the term of this Agreement, the
course of the work on the Construction Project, and for a period of three (3) years following
the date of final completion of the Construction Project and termination of this Agreement.
d. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and throughout the
course of Contractor’s performance of the Construction Project, any labor problems or
disputes of any type arise or materialize which in turn cause any work on the Construction
Project to cease for any period of time, Contractor specifically agrees to take immediate
steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from City, to alleviate
or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific steps Contractor shall take to
resume work on the Construction Project shall be left to the discretion of Contractor;
provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action.
Contractor shall provide immediate relief to the City so as to permit the work on the
Construction Project to resume and be completed within the time frames set forth in the
Construction Schedule at no additional cost to City.

payment, including a proportional part of the retainage Contractor has received from the

promptly pay the undisputed amount to the subcontractor and notify the subcontractor in
writing of the amount in dispute and the reasons for the dispute. Any withholding of
payment must comply with the requirements of §28-2-2103, MCA. In the event Contractor

connection with the Construction Project. If the Contractor allows any indebtedness to accrue to
subcontractors or others during the progress of the work, and fails to pay or discharge the same

West Mural (1)
Artist: Stella Nall
West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

NOTES
1) Sculptures and mounting details will be closely coordinated with the City of Bozeman to ensure required
clearances are maintained. 30 feet of vertical clearance to be maintained over dumpster tip pads.
2) Prior to installation, the DBP will provide the City a structural engineer report with mounting details,
elevations, and height for review and approval. See the following pages for the preliminary design.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

Description:
“On the Horizon” is a large bobcat sculpture that brings attention
to the possibilities of Urban adventure in the Bozeman area. This
figure represents the methods of exploring the downtown area
on the ground level, just like how a bobcat would explore the
wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Melissa Hodnett, Finance Director
SUBJECT:A Resolution Prescribing the Form and Terms of the Lease(s) and Installment
Purchase Agreement and Property Schedules
MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Finance
RECOMMENDATION:I move to approve the resolution.
STRATEGIC PLAN:7.5. Funding and Delivery of City Services: Use equitable and sustainable
sources of funding for appropriate City services, and deliver them in a lean
and efficient manner.
BACKGROUND:The City's Biennium Budget includes debt proceeds to pay for capital
expenses including, among other things, swim center improvements, fire
station 2 construction, various furniture & fixtures, police vehicles, solid
waste equipment, and stormwater equipment. On February 13, 2024, the
City Commission approved Resolution 5581 Approving, Pursuing, and
Negotiation a Lease-Purchase Financing arrangement. The City solicited
proposals for a lease -purchasing arrangement and in April, 2024 JP Morgan
was selected as the lowest responsible bidder.
The principal balance included in the initial issuance of lease debt under the
master lease purchase agreement is $5,925,900.98. The debt reimburses
the city for $725,905 for the swim center HVAC system, $2,212,787.21 for
the fire station 2 HVAC system, construction costs, various furniture &
fixtures, and solar panels and installation, $681,442.02 for 13 police patrol
vehicles, $1,920,229 for 5 solid waste trucks, and $333,537.75 for a storm
water pipe inspection van. The lease bundles these costs for terms ranging
from 5 years for police patrol vehicles to 15 years for the HVAC systems. The
final interest will be determined after resolution approval including
authorization to enter into a rate lock agreement with a true interest cost of
less than 4.50%, and a schedule not to exceed 16 years.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:The final interest rate will not be determined until after resolution approval,
but will not exceed 4.50%, and a schedule not to exceed 16 years.. This will
allow the city to lock in the most advantageous rate prior to issuance.
ALTERNATIVES:The City could elect to cash fund the improvements and equipment which
388
would require other budget reductions to the corresponding funds.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Lease proceeds will reimburse city departments for $5,925,900.98 already
incurred and paid. The lease payments are amortized over 5, 6, 7, 10, and
15 year terms depending on the anticipated useful life of the equipment
being financed. The semi-annual lease payments will commence on
1/1/2026 and end on 7/1/2040. Estimates of the total principal and interest
payments are included in the annual 2025 Biennium Budget and the FY26
Recommended Annual Operating Budget which will be presented to City
Commission on June 10th.

MASTER LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Dated as of: June 12, 2025
Lessee: CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA
This Master Lease-Purchase Agreement, together with all addenda, riders and attachments hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented (“Master Lease”) is made and entered by and between JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (“Lessor”) and the lessee
identified above (“Lessee”).
1. LEASE OF EQUIPMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Lease, Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, all Equipment described in each Schedule signed from time to time by Lessee and Lessor.
2. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. All terms defined in the Master Lease are equally applicable to
both the singular and plural form of such terms. (a) “Schedule” means each Lease Schedule signed
and delivered by Lessee and Lessor, together with all addenda, riders, attachments, certificates and exhibits thereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented. Lessee and Lessor agree that each Schedule (except as expressly provided in said Schedule) incorporates by reference all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. (b) “Lease” means
any one Schedule and this Master Lease as incorporated into said Schedule. (c) “Equipment”
means the property described in each Schedule, together with all attachments, additions, accessions, parts, repairs, improvements, replacements and substitutions thereto. (d) “Lien” means any security interest, lien, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, judgment, execution, attachment, warrant, writ, levy, other judicial process or claim of any nature whatsoever by or of any person.
(e) “Termination Value” has the meaning assigned to such term in the applicable Payment
Schedule (as defined in Section 4.1).
3. LEASE TERM. The term of the lease of the Equipment described in each Lease (“Lease Term”) commences on the date specified in the Schedule for such Lease and, unless earlier terminated as expressly provided in the Lease, continues until Lessee’s payment and performance
in full of all of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease.
4. RENT PAYMENTS.
4.1 For each Lease, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the rent payments (the “Rent Payments”) in the amounts and at the times as set forth in the Payment Schedule attached to the Schedule (the “Payment Schedule”). A portion of each Rent Payment is paid as and represents the
payment of interest as set forth in the Payment Schedule. Lessee acknowledges that its obligation
to pay Rent Payments including interest therein accrues as of the date stated in the Schedule or its Payment Schedule; provided, that no Rent Payment is due until Lessee accepts the Equipment under the Lease or the parties execute an escrow agreement. Rent Payments will be payable for the Lease Term in U.S. dollars, without notice or demand at the office of Lessor (or such other
place as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing).
390
Page 2 of 13
4.2 If Lessor receives any payment from Lessee later than ten (10) days from the due date, Lessee shall pay Lessor on demand as a late charge five per cent (5%) of such overdue amount,
limited, however, to the maximum amount allowed by law.
4.3 EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6, THE OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT PAYMENTS UNDER EACH LEASE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL IN ALL EVENTS AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY SETOFF, DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, ABATEMENT OR RECOUPMENT FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER.
5. DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE; FUNDING CONDITIONS.
5.1 Lessee shall arrange for the transportation, delivery and installation of all Equipment to the location specified in the Schedule (“Location”) by Equipment suppliers (“Suppliers”) selected by Lessee. Lessee shall pay all costs related thereto, unless such costs are to be paid as
described in section 5.2.
5.2 Lessee shall accept Equipment as soon as it has been delivered and is operational. Lessee shall evidence its acceptance of any Equipment by signing and delivering to Lessor the applicable Schedule or, in the event that a Schedule is funded by deposit to an escrow account, by providing such certificate(s) or receipt(s) as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. If Lessee
signs and delivers a Schedule and if all Funding Conditions have been satisfied in full, then Lessor
will pay or cause to be paid the costs of such Equipment as stated in the Schedule (“Purchase Price”) to the applicable Supplier, pay or cause the Purchase Price to be paid to the Lessee as reimbursement for costs of the Equipment, or cause the Purchase Price to be deposited into an escrow account, in each case in accordance with the applicable Schedule.
5.3 Lessor shall have no obligation to pay any Purchase Price unless all reasonable
conditions established by Lessor (“Funding Conditions”) have been satisfied, including, without limitation, the following: (a) Lessee has signed and delivered the Schedule and its Payment Schedule; (b) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (c) no material adverse change shall have occurred in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related
regulations and rulings thereunder (collectively, the “Code”); (d) no material adverse change shall
have occurred in the financial condition of Lessee or any Supplier; (e) the Equipment is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and is free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Liens); (f) all representations of Lessee in the Lease remain true, accurate and complete; and (g) Lessor has received all of the following documents, which shall be reasonably satisfactory, in form and
substance, to Lessor: (1) evidence of insurance coverage required by the Lease; (2) an opinion of
Lessee’s counsel; (3) reasonably detailed invoices for the Equipment; (4) Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statements; (5) copies of resolutions by Lessee’s governing body authorizing the Lease and incumbency certificates for the person(s) who will sign the Lease; (6) such documents and certificates relating to the tax-exempt interest payable under the Lease
(including, without limitation, IRS Form 8038G or 8038GC) as Lessor may request; and (7) such
other documents and information previously identified by Lessor or otherwise reasonably requested by Lessor.
6. TERMINATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL NON-APPROPRIATIONS.
391
Page 3 of 13
6.1 For each Lease, Lessee represents and warrants: that it has appropriated and budgeted the necessary funds to make all Rent Payments required pursuant to such Lease for the remainder
of the fiscal year in which the Lease Term commences; and that it currently intends to make Rent
Payments for the full Lease Term as scheduled in the applicable Payment Schedule if funds are appropriated for the Rent Payments in each succeeding fiscal year by its governing body. Without contractually committing itself to do so, Lessee reasonably believes that moneys in an amount sufficient to make all Rent Payments can and will lawfully be appropriated therefor. Lessee directs
the person in charge of its budget requests to include the Rent Payments payable during each fiscal
year in the budget request presented to Lessee’s governing body for such fiscal year; provided, that Lessee’s governing body retains authority to approve or reject any such budget request. All Rent Payments shall be payable out of the general funds of Lessee or out of other funds legally appropriated therefor. Lessor agrees that no Lease will be a general obligation of Lessee and no
Lease shall constitute a pledge of either the full faith and credit of Lessee or the taxing power of
Lessee, and no Lease shall constitute a debt of Lessee within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or provision.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Rent Payments due on July 1 are deemed to be included in the fiscal year of the Lessee ending on the June 30 immediately preceding such
July 1 payment date. For illustrative purposes only, Rent Payments due January 1, 2026 and July
1, 2026 would be made pursuant to appropriation by the governing body of the Lessee with respect to its fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
6.2 If Lessee’s governing body fails to appropriate sufficient funds in any fiscal year for Rent Payments or other payments due under a Lease and if other funds are not legally appropriated
for such payments, then a “Non-Appropriation Event” shall be deemed to have occurred. If a Non-
Appropriation Event occurs, then: (a) Lessee shall give Lessor immediate notice of such Non- Appropriation Event and provide written evidence of such failure by Lessee’s governing body; (b) on the Return Date, Lessee shall return to Lessor all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by the affected Lease, at Lessee’s sole expense, in accordance with Section 21 hereof; and (c) the
affected Lease shall terminate on the Return Date without penalty to Lessee, provided, that Lessee
shall pay all Rent Payments and other amounts payable under the affected Lease for which funds have been appropriated, provided further, that Lessee shall pay month-to-month rent at the rate set forth in the affected Lease for each month or part thereof that Lessee fails to return the Equipment under this Section 6.2. “Return Date” means the July 1 following the last day of the fiscal year for
which appropriations were made for the Rent Payments due under a Lease. A Non-Appropriation
Event is not an Event of Default under this Master Lease-Purchase Agreement or any Lease.
7. LIMITATION ON WARRANTIES. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR AS TO THE VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, USE, CAPACITY OR DURABILITY OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT. For and during the Lease Term, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee any manufacturer’s or Supplier’s product warranties, express or implied, applicable to any Equipment and Lessor authorizes Lessee to obtain the customary services furnished in connection with such
warranties at Lessee’s sole expense. Lessee agrees that (a) all Equipment will have been purchased
by Lessor in accordance with Lessee’s specifications from Suppliers selected by Lessee, (b) Lessor
392
Page 4 of 13
is not a manufacturer or dealer of any Equipment and has no liability for the delivery or installation of any Equipment, (c) Lessor assumes no obligation with respect to any manufacturer’s or
Supplier’s product warranties or guaranties, (d) no manufacturer or Supplier or any representative
of said parties is an agent of Lessor, and (e) any warranty, representation, guaranty or agreement made by any manufacturer or Supplier or any representative of said parties shall not be binding upon Lessor.
8. TITLE; SECURITY INTEREST.
8.1 Upon Lessee’s acceptance of any Equipment under a Lease, title to the Equipment shall
vest in Lessee, subject to Lessor’s security interest therein and all of Lessor’s other rights under such Lease including, without limitation, Sections 6, 20 and 21 hereof.
8.2 As collateral security for the Secured Obligations, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first priority security interest in any and all of the Equipment (now existing or hereafter acquired)
and any and all proceeds thereof. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all necessary
documents to evidence and perfect such security interest, including, without limitation, UCC financing statements and any amendments thereto.
8.3 “Secured Obligations” means Lessee’s obligations to pay all Rent Payments and all other amounts due and payable under all present and future Leases and to perform and observe all
covenants, agreements and conditions (direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become
due, or existing or hereafter arising) of Lessee under all present and future Leases.
9. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All Equipment is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon.
10. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION. Lessee agrees it shall, at its sole expense: (a) repair
and maintain all Equipment in good condition and working order and supply and install all
replacement parts or other devices when required to so maintain the Equipment or when required by applicable law or regulation, which parts or devices shall automatically become part of the Equipment; and (b) use and operate all Equipment in a commercially reasonable manner in the normal course of its operations and only for the purposes for which it was designed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s warranty requirements; and (c) comply with all laws and regulations
relating to the Equipment. If any Equipment is customarily covered by a maintenance agreement, Lessee will furnish Lessor with a maintenance agreement by a party reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. No maintenance or other service for any Equipment will be provided by Lessor. Lessee will not make any alterations, additions or improvements (“Improvements”) to any Equipment
without Lessor’s prior written consent unless the Improvements may be readily removed without
damage to the operation, value or utility of such Equipment, but any such Improvements not removed prior to the termination of the applicable Lease shall automatically become part of the Equipment.
11. LOCATION; INSPECTION. Equipment will not be removed from, or if Equipment is
rolling stock its permanent base will not be changed from, the Location without Lessor’s prior
written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon reasonable notice to Lessee, Lessor may enter the Location or elsewhere during normal business hours to inspect the Equipment.
393
Page 5 of 13
12. LIENS, SUBLEASES AND TAXES.
12.1 Lessee shall keep all Equipment free and clear of all Liens except those Liens created
under its Lease. Lessee shall not sublet or lend any Equipment or permit it to be used by anyone
other than Lessee or Lessee’s employees.
12.2 Lessee shall pay when due all Taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed upon any Equipment or its ownership, lease, rental, sale, purchase, possession or use, upon any Lease or upon any Rent Payments or any other payments due under any Lease. If Lessee fails to pay such
Taxes when due, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. If Lessor
pays any such Taxes, then Lessee shall, upon demand, immediately reimburse Lessor therefor. “Taxes” means present and future taxes, levies, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are not based on the net income of Lessor, whether they are assessed to or payable by Lessee or Lessor, including, without limitation (a) sales, use, excise, licensing, registration, titling, gross
receipts, stamp and personal property taxes, and (b) interest, penalties or fines on any of the
foregoing.
13. RISK OF LOSS.
13.1 Lessee bears the entire risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Equipment in whole or in part from any reason whatsoever (“Casualty Loss”). No Casualty Loss to any
Equipment shall relieve Lessee from the obligation to make any Rent Payments or to perform any
other obligation under any Lease. Proceeds of any insurance recovery will be applied to Lessee’s obligations under this Section 13.
13.2 If a Casualty Loss occurs to any Equipment, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the same and Lessee shall, unless otherwise directed by Lessor, immediately repair the same.
13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond
repair (“Lost Equipment”), then Lessee shall either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with similar equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Liens), in which event such replacement equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease, and deliver to Lessor true and complete copies of the
invoice or bill of sale covering the replacement equipment; or (b) on the earlier of 60 days after
the Casualty Loss or the next scheduled Rent Payment date (the “Loss Payment Due Date”), pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable Lease, including the Rent Payments due on or accrued through such date plus (ii) an amount equal to the Termination Value as of the Rent Payment date (or if the Casualty Loss payment is due between Rent Payment dates, then as
of the Rent Payment date preceding the date that the Casualty Loss payment is due) set forth in the
Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease plus (iii) a Break Funding Charge (unless the applicable Schedule includes a Prepayment Addendum allowing for prepayment without a Break Funding Charge). If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment under a Lease, then Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent Payment and
Termination Value to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost Equipment and a revised Payment
Schedule. "Break Funding Charge" means the amount, if any, by which (a) the present value of all Rent Payments discounted to the Prepayment Date at a rate equal to the swap rate of an interest rate swap which the Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into as of the business day preceding
394
Page 6 of 13
the Prepayment Date exceeds (b) the present value of all Rent Payments discounted to the Prepayment Date at a rate equal to the swap rate of an interest rate swap which the Lessor shall be
deemed to have entered into as of the date of the Lease. "Prepayment Date" means, (i) in the case
of a payment resulting from a Casualty Loss, the Loss Payment Due Date, or (ii) in the case of a demand made pursuant to section 20, the Demand Date. .
13.4 Lessee shall bear the risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend Lessor against any and all claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including reasonable
attorney’s fees), damages or losses arising under or related to any Equipment, including, but not
limited to, the possession, ownership, lease, use or operation thereof. These obligations of Lessee shall survive any expiration or termination of any Lease. Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including attorney’s fees), damages or losses which arise directly from events occurring after any Equipment has been
returned by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease or which arise
directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor.
14. INSURANCE.
14.1 (a) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times keep all Equipment insured against all Casualty Losses for an amount not less than the Termination Value of the Equipment. Proceeds of
any such insurance covering damage or loss of any Equipment shall be payable to Lessor as lender
loss payee. (b) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times carry public liability and third party property damage insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lessor protecting Lessee and Lessor from liabilities for injuries to persons and damage to property of others relating in any way to any Equipment. Proceeds of any such public liability or property insurance shall be payable first
to Lessor to the extent of its liability, and then to Lessee.
14.2 All insurers shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor expressly agrees that insurance or self-insurance coverage through participation in the Montana Municipal Interlocal Authority (MMIA) risk pool is satisfactory. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor satisfactory evidence of required insurance coverage and all renewals and replacements thereof. Each
insurance policy will require that the insurer give Lessor at least 30 days prior written notice of
any cancellation of such policy and will require that Lessor’s interests remain insured regardless of any act, error, misrepresentation, omission or neglect of Lessee. The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor.
15. PREPAYMENT. Prepayment provisions for each Lease shall be set forth in a Prepayment
Addendum relating thereto.
16. LESSEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. As of the date hereof and as of the date of each Schedule, with respect to each Lease and its Equipment, Lessee hereby represents and warrants and shall be deemed to represent and warrant to Lessor that: (a) Lessee has full power,
authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform its obligations under the
Lease, and all such actions have been duly authorized by appropriate findings and actions of Lessee’s governing body; (b) the Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable in accordance with its
395
Page 7 of 13
terms; (c) the Lease is authorized under, and the authorization, execution and delivery of the Lease complies with, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (including, but not
limited to, all open meeting, public bidding and property acquisition laws) and all applicable
judgments and court orders; (d) the execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of its obligations under the Lease will not result in a breach or violation of, nor constitute a default under, any agreement, lease or other instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee’s properties may be bound or affected; (e) there is no pending, or to the best of Lessee’s knowledge threatened,
litigation of any nature which may have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform
its obligations under the Lease; and (f) Lessee is a state, or a political subdivision thereof, as referred to in Section 103 of the Code, and Lessee’s obligation under the Lease constitutes an enforceable obligation issued on behalf of a state or a political subdivision thereof.
17. TAX COVENANTS.
17.1 Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that: (a) Lessee shall comply with all of the
requirements of Section 149(a) and Section 149(e) of the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, and such compliance shall include, but not be limited to, executing and filing Internal Revenue Form 8038G or 8038GC, as the case may be, and any other information statements reasonably requested by Lessor; (b) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will
cause, or by omission of any act allow, any Lease to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of
Section 148(a) of the Code or any Lease to be a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code; and (c) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, the interest portion of any Rent Payments to be or become includable in gross income for Federal income taxation purposes under the Code.
17.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Taxability, the interest portion of any Rent
Payment shall be increased to the Taxable Rate retroactive to the date of occurrence of the Event of Taxability, and Lessee shall pay such additional amount as will result in Lessor receiving the interest portion at the Taxable Rate identified in the Payment Schedule. For purposes of this section, “Event of Taxability” means a determination that the interest portion of Rent Payments is
included for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the Lessor due to Lessee’s action
or failure to take action, including breach of covenants set forth in section 17.1 hereof. An Event of Taxability shall occur upon the earliest of: (1) the happening of any event which may cause such Event of Taxability, or (2) Lessor’s payment to the applicable taxing authority of the tax increase resulting from such Event of Taxability, or (3) the adjustment of Lessor’s tax return to
reflect such Event of Taxability, or (4) the date as of which the interest portion of the Rent
Payments is determined by the Internal revenue Service to be includable in the gross income of the Lessor for federal income tax purposes.
18. ASSIGNMENT.
18.1 Lessee shall not assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, nor grant any Lien on, nor
otherwise dispose of, any Lease or any Equipment or any interest in any Lease or Equipment.
18.2 Lessor may assign its rights, title and interest in and to any Lease or any Equipment, and/or may grant or assign a security interest in any Lease and its Equipment, in whole or in part, to any party at any time. Any such assignee or lienholder (an “Assignee”) shall have all of the
396
Page 8 of 13
rights of Lessor under the applicable Lease. LESSEE AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AGAINST ANY ASSIGNEE ANY CLAIMS, ABATEMENTS, SETOFFS, COUNTERCLAIMS,
RECOUPMENT OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DEFENSES WHICH LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR. Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee in writing, any such assignment transaction shall not release Lessor from any of Lessor’s obligations under the applicable Lease. An assignment or reassignment of any of Lessor’s right, title or interest in a Lease or its Equipment shall be enforceable against Lessee only after Lessee receives a written notice of assignment which
discloses the name and address of each such Assignee, provided, that such notice from Lessor to
Lessee of any assignment shall not be so required if Lessor assigns a Lease to JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. Lessee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all such assignments in the form necessary to comply with Section 149(a) of the Code and for such purpose, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor (or Lessor’s designee) as the book entry
and registration agent to keep a complete and accurate record of any and all assignments of any
Lease. Lessee agrees to acknowledge in writing any such assignments if so requested.
18.3 Each Assignee of a Lease hereby agrees that: (a) the term Secured Obligations as used in Section 8.3 hereof is hereby amended to include and apply to all obligations of Lessee under the Assigned Leases and to exclude the obligations of Lessee under any Non-Assigned
Leases; (b) said Assignee shall have no Lien on, nor any claim to, nor any interest of any kind in,
any Non- Assigned Lease or any Equipment covered by any Non-Assigned Lease; and (c) Assignee shall exercise its rights, benefits and remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without limitation, the remedies under Section 20 of the Master Lease) solely with respect to the Assigned Leases. “Assigned Leases” means only those Leases which have been assigned to a
single Assignee pursuant to a written agreement; and “Non-Assigned Leases” means all Leases
excluding the Assigned Leases.
18.4 Subject to the foregoing, each Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. For each Lease, “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events as they may relate to such Lease: (a) except as described in
Section 6.2, Lessee fails to make any Rent Payment (or any other payment)as it becomes due in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and any such failure continues for ten (10) days after the due date thereof; (b) Lessee fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under Sections 12.1, 14 or 18.1 hereof; (c) Lessee fails to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or
agreement to be performed or observed by it under the Lease and such failure is not cured within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by Lessor; (d) any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in the Lease or in any writing delivered by Lessee pursuant thereto or in connection therewith proves at any time to have been false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect as of the time when made; or (e) Lessee applies for or consents to the appointment
of a receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of its assets,
or a petition for relief is filed by Lessee under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a petition in a proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is filed against Lessee and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Appropriation Event is not an Event of Default hereunder.
397
Page 9 of 13
20. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs, then Lessor may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies with respect to the defaulted Lease:
(a) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay, subject to
appropriation,) on a demand date specified by Lessor (the “Demand Date”) all amounts then currently due under the Lease and all remaining Rent Payments due under the Lease during the fiscal year in effect when the Event of Default occurs together with interest on such amounts at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (but not to exceed the highest rate permitted by
applicable law) from the date of Lessor’s demand for such payment;
(b) Lessor may require Lessee to promptly return all Equipment under the Lease to Lessor in the manner set forth in Section 21 (and Lessee agrees that it shall so return the Equipment), or Lessor may, at its option, enter upon the premises where any Equipment is located and repossess any Equipment without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of law and
without liability for any reasonable damage occasioned by such repossession;
(c) Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment under the Lease, in whole or in part, in one or more public or private transactions, and if Lessor so disposes of any Equipment, then Lessor shall retain the entire proceeds of such disposition free of any claims of Lessee, provided, that if the net proceeds of the disposition of all the Equipment exceeds the applicable
Termination Value of the Schedule plus the amounts payable by Lessee under clause (a) above of
this Section and under clause (f) below of this Section, then such excess amount shall be remitted by Lessor to Lessee;
(d) Lessor may terminate, cancel or rescind the Lease as to any and all Equipment;
(e) Lessor may exercise any other right, remedy or privilege which may be available to
Lessor under applicable law or, by appropriate court action at law or in equity, Lessor may enforce

including, without limitation, any attorney fees and expenses and any costs related to the
repossession, safekeeping, storage, repair, reconditioning or disposition of any Equipment.
None of the above remedies are exclusive, but each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy available to Lessor. Lessor’s exercise of one or more remedies shall not preclude its exercise of any other remedy. No delay or failure on the part of Lessor to exercise any remedy
under any Lease shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any remedy preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other remedy.
21. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If Lessor is entitled under the provisions of any Lease, including any termination thereof pursuant to Sections 6 or 20 of this Master Lease, to obtain
possession of any Equipment or if Lessee is obligated at any time to return any Equipment, then
(a) title to the Equipment shall vest in Lessor immediately upon Lessor’s notice thereof to Lessee, and (b) Lessee shall, at its sole expense and risk, immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate,

same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from
normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by the applicable Lease, shall be free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Until Equipment is returned as required above, all terms of the applicable Lease shall remain in full force and effect including, without limitation,
obligations to pay Rent Payments and to insure the Equipment. Lessee agrees to execute and
deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee’s interest in such Equipment.

RATE LOCK LETTER AGREEMENT
Dated: May 23, 2025
Dear City of Bozeman:
With your execution of the Authorizing Resolution and near final form of lease documents, you have requested that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Lessor”) provide fixed rate financing subject to the terms outlined therein.
This is to confirm that, the City of Bozeman (the “Lessee”) has reserved $5,925,900.98 in fixed rate funds,
effective May 23, 2025 in anticipation of the Lessee’s need for the financing of an equivalent amount on or
before June 12, 2025 subject to the terms contained herein. The interest rate for the financing, will be at an
annual rate equal to 3.749%.
If the various equipment is not delivered to and accepted by Lessee by June 12, 2025 or if for any reason (other
than Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) the full amount of the $5,925,900.98 financing is not funded in accordance with the terms of the financing documents by June 12, 2025 (each a “Breakage Event”),
then a Break Funding Charge (as defined below) shall be due and payable if (i) exceeds (ii) where (i) equals the
interest portion of each of the Scheduled Payments (as defined below) which would have been paid if such
Breakage Event had not occurred calculated at the interest rate swap including a forward rate swap, if any,
which Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into on May 23, 2025 and (ii) equals the interest portion of each of the Scheduled Payments which would have been paid if such Breakage Event had not occurred calculated at
the interest rate swap which Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into on June 12, 2025 (the “Replacement
Swap”). The “Break Funding Charge” equals the present value of the difference between (i) and (ii) for each
interest period discounted to a net present value as of the date of prepayment using the fixed interest rate of
the Replacement Swap. Lessee shall pay to Lessor a Reinvestment Premium within 5 business days of Lessor’s written request for payment of the Break Funding Charge.
Lessee acknowledges that (i) Lessor might not fund or hedge its fixed-rate loan portfolio on a loan-by-loan basis at all times, and agrees that the Break Funding Charge is a reasonable and appropriate method of calculating
liquidated damages irrespective of whether any of the foregoing hedging transactions have in fact occurred or
occurred precisely as stated with respect to the loan and (ii) all calculations and determinations by the Lessor
of the Break Funding Charge or of any element thereof, if made in accordance with its then standard procedures
for so calculating or determining such amounts, shall be conclusive absent manifest arithmetic error.

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FORMS OF A MASTER LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND LEASE SCHEDULE; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A RATE LOCK AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
PARAMETERS; AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE MASTER LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT, LEASE SCHEDULE AND RELATED DOCUMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Commission (the “Commission”) of the City of
Bozeman, Montana (the “City”) as follows:
Section 1
Recitals. It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows:
1.01. Authorization. The City is authorized pursuant to Sections 7-1-4124 and 7-8-4101,
Montana Code Annotated, to buy, sell, mortgage, rent, lease, hold, manage and dispose of any
interest in real or personal property.
1.02. Equipment. The City intends to finance or reimburse itself for costs of acquiring and
installing certain items of personal property and equipment with respect to Fire Station 2, Bozeman
Swim Center, Bogert Pool and Lindley Center, and purchasing vehicles and/or other equipment
for the City’s police department, stormwater department, and solid waste operations (collectively,
the “Equipment”). The Commission has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to enter
into a non-appropriation lease-purchase financing to finance or reimburse the City for costs of the
Equipment.
1.03. Financing. Pursuant to Resolution No. 5581, adopted on February 13, 2024, this
Commission authorized and directed City officers to solicit proposals from banks and other lenders
with respect to a non-appropriation lease-purchase agreement and associated documentation, and
to negotiate terms, conditions and documentation with the selected bank or lender. In consultation
with Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, as municipal advisor to the City (“Baker Tilly”), the
410
2
City selected the proposal of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) as the most advantageous
to the City. City officers have worked with the Bank, Baker Tilly, and Dorsey & Whitney LLP, as
special counsel to the City, to negotiate the terms, conditions and forms of documentation with
respect to the proposed non-appropriation lease-purchase financing.
1.04. Documentation. The City proposes to enter into a Master Lease-Purchase Agreement
with the Bank, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as it may be revised prior to
closing (the “Master Lease-Purchase Agreement”). The financing of the Equipment will be further
governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease Schedule to the Master Lease-Purchase
Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as it may be revised prior to
closing (the “Lease Schedule”).
1.05. Non-appropriation. The lease payments to be payable by the City pursuant to the
Lease Schedule will be set forth on a payment schedule to be attached to the Lease Schedule (the
“Payment Schedule”). The lease payments to be set forth on the Payment Schedule and any other
obligations of the City under the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement or Lease Schedule shall
constitute current expenses of the City payable from any legally available funds and shall not in
any way be construed to be debts of the City in contravention of any applicable constitutional or
statutory limitation or requirements concerning the creation of indebtedness by the City, nor shall
anything contained therein constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds or money of the
City. The lease payments shall be payable only from current funds that are budgeted and
appropriated solely for such purpose during the fiscal year of the City for which such funds were
budgeted and appropriated. The City has not pledged the full faith and credit or taxing power or
any designated amounts of the City to the payment of amounts due under the Master Lease-
Purchase Agreement or the Lease Schedule.

Agreement and the Lease Schedule. The City Manager, or in the event of his absence or inability,

3
such modifications to the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement and Lease Schedule as may be

evidenced by the execution thereof. Each of the City Manager, City Finance Director, Mayor and
City Clerk (or, in the event of any of their absence or inability, such officer’s designee) is

applicable interest rate and over the applicable term.
Section 4

Section 5
Tax Matters.
5.01. General Covenant. The City covenants and agrees that it will not take or permit to
412
4
be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the portion of
the Lease Payments designated as interest to become includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and applicable Treasury
Regulations (the “Regulations”), and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to
ensure that the portion of the Lease Payments designated as interest will not become includable in
gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations.
5.02. The Equipment. The Equipment is and will be owned and operated by the City for
the benefit of the general public. No user of the Equipment is granted any concession, license or
special arrangement with respect thereto. Except for the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement and
the Lease Schedule, the City shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non-
governmental person relating to the use of the Equipment or security for the payment of amounts
due under the Lease Schedule that might cause the Lease Schedule or any payments to be made in
connection therewith to be considered an “arbitrage bond” or “private loan bond” within the
meaning of Sections 148 and 141 of the Code.
5.03. Arbitrage Certification. The City Manager and City Finance Director, being among
the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for executing the Lease Schedule, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Bank a certificate in accordance with the
provisions of Section 148 of the Code and Section 1.148-2(b) of the Regulations, stating that on
the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of execution and delivery
of the Lease Schedule, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Lease Schedule will be
used in a manner that would not cause the Lease Schedule to be an “arbitrage bond” within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
5.04. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Lease Schedule is subject to the
rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at such
times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Treasury Regulations to preserve
the exclusion of interest on the Lease Schedule from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
unless the Lease Schedule qualifies for the exception from the rebate requirement under Section
148(f)(4)(B) of the Code and no “gross proceeds” of the Lease Schedule (other than amounts
413
5
constituting a “bona fide debt service fund”) arise during or after the expenditure of the original
proceeds thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the City Manager and City Finance Director are
hereby authorized and directed to execute a Tax Certificate, substantially in the form to be prepared
by special counsel to the City, and the City hereby covenants and agrees to observe and perform
the covenants and agreements contained therein, unless amended or terminated in accordance with
the provisions thereof.
5.05. Information Reporting. The City shall file with the Secretary of the Treasury, not
later than August 15, 2025, a statement concerning the Lease Schedule containing the information
required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
5.06. “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligation”. Pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the
City hereby designates the Lease Schedule as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City hereby represents that it does not anticipate that
obligations bearing interest not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation
under Section 103 of the Code (including refunding obligations as provided in Section 265(b)(3)
of the Code and including “qualified 501(c)(3) bonds” but excluding other “private activity
bonds,” as defined in Sections 141(a) and 145(a) of the Code) will be issued by or on behalf of the
City and all “subordinate entities” of the City in 2025 in an amount greater than $10,000,000.
Section 6
Transcript Certification.
The officers of the City are directed to furnish to the Bank and special counsel to the City certified
copies of all proceedings and information in their official records relevant to the authorization of
the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement and the Lease Schedule and such additional certificates and
affidavits as may be required or appropriate to evidence the validity and enforceability of the
Master Lease-Purchase Agreement and the Lease Schedule and tax exemption of interest thereon,
and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall

MEETING DATE:June 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Plan/Report/Study
RECOMMENDATION:Consider comment and data supporting possible modifications to the draft
Unified Development Code and consider possible direction for future work
sessions.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.2 Community Engagement: Broaden and deepen engagement of the
community in city government, innovating methods for inviting input from
the community and stakeholders.
BACKGROUND:The Unified Development Code (UDC) update has reached another milestone
by completing Phase I and II of the Supplemental Engagement Plan [External
PDF Link]. Final reports and summaries of the public engagement are linked
in the attached memo to the Commission. The purpose of the supplemental
engagement was to reach new members of the public who have had not
previously participated in this planning effort, and to identify areas of
concern in the draft UDC for further discussion.
The presentation and discussion reviewed activities and findings from Phase
I and Phase 2 of the supplemental engagement, provided an overview of
what we heard during these events, and will discuss how this input is being
used to inform the ongoing project.
Secondly, staff provided an introduction of topics identified through the
supplemental engagement to be discussed at the City Commission work
session scheduled for June 24, 2025.
The City Commission began consideration of this item on May 20th. The
video of the meeting is available through the City's website [external link]
and begins at 3:11:45 in the recording. They received the presentation from
staff and comments from the public. Due to the lateness of the hour, after
the public comment closed the item was continued to June 3rd for
additional consideration. The City Commission will begin the item with
420
Commission questions and discussion. An updated background memo is
attached to include additional filtered data on the Phase 2 online survey.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:As determined by the Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:None.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The scope of work for the UDC update was established in 2022 and

Subject: Unified Development Code (UDC) Update Supplemental Engagement Phase 2
Report and Next Steps (Work Session)
Meeting Date: June 3, 2025
General Background
The Unified Development Code (UDC) sets regulations around what kinds of development can
occur in which areas. In the 2022-2023 Commission 2-year priority cycle, Bozeman City
Commission named the UDC update as a key priority of the city. Thus began the UDC Update
process, a project that kicked off in summer 2022 with the goals of:
o Implementing the vision and goals of other guiding City documents, such as the 2020
Community Plan, Climate Action Plan, and the Community Housing Action Plan
o Organization and choice - Making the Code more user-friendly
o Housing Access and Choice
o Improve the built environment
o Subsequently, updating the Code pursuant to 2023 changes in state law
Phase I – Creation of Original UDC Draft
A variety of in-person and virtual engagement opportunities were held throughout 2022 and 2023,
and in the summer of 2023, following feedback from the public and Commission, a draft code was
released. Many residents expressed concerns about the draft, with some wanting more time to
review and give feedback. In October 2023, the Commission paused the process with the desire to
pick back up in 2024. In September 2024, Commission began the restart of the project with a work
session on how the project was to resume, including what additional engagement could look like.
On October 1, Commission approved the Supplemental Engagement Plan.
Supplementary Engagement Phase I
Staff executed the Supplementary Engagement Plan through the following methods:
o Launched an online survey that ran from Nov. 22 through Jan. 8 and garnered 229
responses.
o Hosted an online webinar on 12/9 that had 76 attendees.
422
Page 2
o Hosted five in-person open houses, one in each quadrant (NW, SW, SE, NE) of the City and
one at MSU, which had at least 238 attendees total across all events (some attendees were
not captured at sign-in).
o Hosted eight (8) meetings with groups including Local Food Systems partners, Better
Bozeman Coalition, University Neighborhood Association, Jandt Neighborhood Association,
Midtown Neighborhood Association, Cooper Park Neighborhood Association, Northeast
Neighborhood Association, and Forward Montana.
o Used a variety of methods to communicate engagement opportunities including a paid
mailer to all who reside in the city; emails to key partners; Engage Bozeman newsletters and
web updates; Bozeman.net banner, e-notifications and calendar updates; a message in the
utility bill; a press release to media outlets; a paid Facebook/Instagram social media ad;
social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Nextdoor; and a paid ad in the
Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Results of Phase 1 of the Supplementary Engagement Plan (Nov-Jan) are summarized in the
following two reports, and staff also presented a summary to City Commission on February 4:
UDC Update Phase I Open House Summary Report [External PDF Link]
Phase 1 Online Survey Result Report [External PDF Link]
February 4 City Commission presentation [External Video Link]
Supplementary Engagement Phase II
The purpose of the engagement process was to dive deeper into the key topics of greatest
community interest that were identified during phase 1 of engagement and to expand the breadth of
awareness and participation in the community while gathering further input. Engagement
continued with four in-person workshops held in various parts of the city, two online workshops, a
toolkit for residents to host their own chat about the UDC, and an online survey. The dates, times,
and topics of each workshop were:
1. Transportation & Environment: Feb. 24: 12 to 2 p.m. online.
2. Transportation & Environment: Feb. 26: 6 to 8 p.m. at Gallatin County Fairgrounds.
3. Growth, Housing, & Neighborhoods: March 3: 12 to 2 p.m. Online.
4. Housing & Neighborhoods: March 5: 6 to 8 p.m. at Chief Joseph Middle School.
5. Growth & Neighborhoods: March 10: 6 to 8 p.m. at Sacajawea Middle School.
6. All topics (Transportation, Environment, Growth, Housing, Neighborhoods): March 12: 6 to 8
p.m. at Willson School.
In addition, staff presented to each of the City’s Advisory Boards, providing a summary of Phase I
engagement and gathering general input on the UDC. As each of these boards provided specific
input on the project in 2023, their past input was referenced and built upon in the latest
discussions. Dates and times included:
423

1. Historic Preservation Advisory Board: March 19 at 6:00 p.m. [External Video Link]
2. Transportation Board: March 26 at 6:00 p.m. [External Video Link]
3. Urban Parks and Forestry Board: March 27 at 6:00 p.m. [External Video Link]
4. Economic Vitality Board: April 2 at 6:00 p.m. [External Video Link]
5. Sustainability Board: April 9 at 6:00 p.m. [External Video Link]
Community Chat Toolkits
In conjunction with the formal events the city created a series of five “Toolkits” based on topic areas
gleaned from Phase I of the Supplementary Engagement. This toolkit guided groups through a
discussion on this large code document by focusing your conversation on popular topic areas and
providing key questions to discuss and provide input on. Topic areas included:
1. Growth
2. Environment
3. Neighborhoods
4. Housing
5. Transportation
Seven responses were provided on 20 topics and are linked below in the UDC Documentation and
Support section. Responses are also available on the project web site.
Deep Dive Online Survey
Augmenting the information and nuance from the Supplementary Engagement, a deep dive online
survey was created. Drawing from the previous input, the survey asked for more detailed feedback
on topics identified as important by the community during earlier input. All previous input is still
part of the project. Results are linked below and the on the project web site.
Phase II engagement materials:
a. Phase 2 workshop notes – 6 workshops, 2 online and 4 in person held
b. Phase 2 board summary – 6 advisory boards, continuation of process
c. Phase 2 presentation survey report and individual responses – Concluded May 8th,
addressed more specific questions related to earlier comments and consider tradeoffs
in priorities. Survey report filtered by Owners and Survey report filtered by Renters.
d. Phase 2 chat toolkit report – 7 persons submitted chat reports on 20 topic responses.
This project is the first time the City has tried using this engagement tool. One response
also includes a survey that is different from the questions the City asked with the Phase
2 survey.
The Supplementary Engagement effort attracted approximately 491 unique individuals in the
workshops, online events, and deep dive efforts. The number of participants above excluded those
who joined a Community Toolkit chat and the Phase II online survey, those numbers are included in
424
Page 4
the survey results. The Phase I open houses attracted 312 people and an additional 126 people
through meetings with neighborhood groups.
Nearly 400 people attended the Phase II workshops (399 signed in). The city continues to accept
and track written comments on the UDC update with a total of 677 written comments from 358
different people as of May 12, 2025.
With the conclusion of these events, Supplementary Engagement as identified in the
Supplementary Engagement Plan approved by City Commission in October 2024 is complete.
Attached below is a list of resources and documents detailing the project.

officers, agents, and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, obligations, and liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever, in law and in
equity, whether now known or in the future discovered, arising from or related to this
Agreement or the Construction Project that Contractor may have or assert against City, its
officers, agents, and employees.
6. Inspection and Testing:
a. City has the right to inspect and test any and all work performed by
Contractor on the Construction Project. Contractor shall allow City and its agents access
to the Construction Project at all times and shall provide every reasonable facility for the
purpose of such inspection and testing, including temporarily discontinuing portions of the
work or uncovering or taking down portions of the finished work. Any inspection and
testing performed by the City and its agents is for the sole benefit of the City and shall not
relieve the Contractor of its duty, responsibility, and obligation to ensure that the work
strictly complies with the Agreement terms and conditions and all applicable laws and
building and safety codes. City’s inspection and testing shall not be deemed or considered
acceptance by the City of any portion of the Construction Project. City’s inspection and

testing shall not serve to nullify, amend, or waive any warranties provided by the
Contractor under this Agreement.
b. Contractor shall, without charge, replace any material or correct any work
found by the City or its agents to be defective or otherwise not in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to replace or correct any
defective work or materials after reasonable written notice by the City to do so, the City
may take such corrective action, either with its own materials and employees or by
retaining any third party to do so, and deduct the cost and expense of such corrective action
from the Contractor’s compensation.
7. Partial Utilization of Construction Project: City shall have the right to use or
occupy any portion of the Construction Project that City and Contractor mutually agree is
substantially completed and constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Construction Project for its intended purpose without significant interference with Contractor’s
performance of the remaining portions of the Construction Project. In the event City takes
possession of any portion of the Construction Project, such possession shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the Construction Project, in whole or in part. City’s use of any portion of the
Construction Project shall not be grounds for extensions of any construction deadlines or a change
in the Contractor’s compensation. Contractor’s warranties shall run from the completion of the
total Construction Project and not from the date the City may take possession of selected portions
of the Construction Project.
8. Related Work at the Site: Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or preclude
City, through its own employees or by contract with any third party, from performing other work
related to the Construction Project at the construction site; provided such related work is not
otherwise addressed in this Agreement and provided such related work does not otherwise interfere
with Contractor’s performance of this Agreement or the completion of the Construction Project.
Contractor shall afford any City employee, agent or representative, or any third party under
contract with the City to perform the related work, proper and safe access to the construction site,
a reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment, the
opportunity to perform the related work, and shall properly coordinate the Contractor’s work on
the Construction Project with the related work.
9. Contractor’s Warranties: Contractor represents and warrants as follows:
a. Unless otherwise specified by the terms of this Agreement, all materials and
equipment used by Contractor on the Construction Project shall be new and where not
otherwise specified, of the most suitable grade for their intended uses.

Project must be free of defects and nonconformities in design, materials, and workmanship
for a minimum period beginning with the commencement of the work on the Construction
Project and ending one (1) year from the final completion and acceptance by the City of
the Construction Project, regardless of whether such equipment, materials, or labor were
supplied directly by Contractor or indirectly by Contractor’s subcontractors or suppliers.
Other express warranties on materials that provide for a warranty period longer than one
year apply for the period of that express warranty and are not reduced by this provision.
Upon receipt of City’s written notice of a defective or nonconforming condition during the
warranty period, Contractor shall take all actions, including redesign and replacement, to
correct the defective or nonconforming condition within a time frame acceptable to the
City and at no additional cost to the City. Contractor shall also, at its sole cost, perform
any tests required by City to verify that such defective or nonconforming condition has
been corrected. Contractor warrants the corrective action taken against defective and
nonconforming conditions for a period of an additional one (1) year from the date of City’s
acceptance of the corrective action.
d. Contractor and its sureties are liable for the satisfaction and full
performance of all warranties.
e. Contractor shall give its personal attention to the faithful prosecution of the
completion of the Construction Project and Contractor, or its duly authorized representative
assigned to serve as the Construction Project Manager, shall be personally present at the
site of the Construction Project during working hours for the term of this Agreement until
the completion of the Construction Project.

construction plans, drawings, and specifications on site at all times.
g. Contractor has examined all available records and made field examinations
of the site of the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the field conditions to
be encountered during the Construction Project. Contractor has knowledge of the types
and character of equipment necessary for the work, the types of materials needed and the
sources of such materials, and the condition of the local labor market.

lights, guards, signs, temporary passages, or other protections necessary for that purpose at
all times.
i. All work must be performed at Contractor’s risk, and Contractor shall
promptly repair or replace all damage and loss at its sole cost and expense regardless of the
reason or cause of the damage or loss; provided, however, should the damage or loss be
caused by an intentional or negligent act of the City, the risk of such loss shall be placed
on the City.
j. Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to materials, tools, or other
articles used or held for use in the completion of performance of the Construction Project.
k. Contractor’s performance must be without damage or disruption to any
other work or property of the City or of others and without interference with the operation
of existing machinery or equipment.
l. Title to all work, materials, and equipment covered by any payment of
Contractor’s compensation by City, whether directly incorporated into the Construction
Project or not, passes to City at the time of payment, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
m. Contractor, at its expense and in consultation with the City, will arrange for
the preparation and installation of the Artwork on or before September 30, 2024. As further
delineated in paragraph 18, the City retains the right to repair, remove, or un-install the
Artwork at any time. Contractor bears the risk of loss for the Artwork up and until the title
of the Artwork transfers to the City.
n. For one-year from installation, Contractor expressly warrants that its
installation of the Artwork will be free from any defects related to installation. If, during
the one-year warranty period, any defect occurs, upon receiving written notice from the
City, Contractor agrees to repair, replace, or pay the City the reasonable cost of repairing
or replacing the Artwork. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the choice between
repairing, replacing, or paying the City is solely within the City’s discretion and authority.
10. Delays and Extensions of Time: If Contractor’s performance of this Agreement
is prevented or delayed by any unforeseen cause beyond the control of the Contractor, including
acts or omissions of the City, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of the commencement of any
such delay, give the City written notice thereof. Further, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

the termination of such delay, give the City written notice of the total actual duration of the delay.
If the City is provided with these required notices and if the City determines that the cause of the
delay was not foreseeable, was beyond the control of the Contractor, and was not a result of the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, then the City will determine the total duration of the delay
and extend the time for performance of the Agreement accordingly. Unless the delay is caused by
the intentional interference of the City with the Contractor’s performance, Contractor shall make
no claim for damages or any other claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided by
reason of any delays.
11. Suspension:
a. The City may, by written notice to the Contractor and at its convenience for
any reason, suspend the performance of all or any portion of the work to be performed on
the Construction Project (“Notice of Suspension”). The Notice of Suspension shall set
forth the time of suspension, if then known to the City. During the period of suspension,
Contractor shall use its best efforts to minimize costs associated with the suspension.
b. Upon Contractor’s receipt of any Notice of Suspension, unless the notice
requires otherwise, Contractor shall: (1) immediately discontinue work on the date and to
the extent specified in the Notice of Suspension; (2) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, services, or equipment; (3) promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain
suspension upon terms satisfactory to City of all orders, subcontracts, and rental
agreements to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work suspended; and (4)
continue to protect and maintain the Project, including those portions on which work has
been suspended.
c. As compensation for the suspended work, Contractor will be reimbursed for
the following costs, reasonably incurred, without duplication of any item, and to the extent
that such costs directly resulted from the suspension: (1) a standby charge paid during the
period of suspension which will be sufficient to compensate Contractor for keeping, to the
extent required in the Notice of Suspension, Contractor’s organization and equipment
committed to the Project in standby status; (2) all reasonably incurred costs for the
demobilization of Contractor’s and subcontractor’s crews and equipment; (3) an equitable
amount to reimburse Contractor for the cost to protect and maintain the Project during the
period of suspension; and (4) an equitable adjustment in the cost of performing the
remaining portion of the work post-suspension if, as a direct result of the suspension, the
cost to Contractor of subsequently performing the remaining work on the Construction
Project has increased or decreased.

d. Upon receipt of written notice by the City to resume the suspended work
(“Notice to Resume Work”), Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the
suspended work as to the extent required in the Notice to Resume Work. Any claim by
Contractor for time or compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be made within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of the Notice to Resume Work and Contractor shall submit a revised
Construction Schedule for the City’s review and approval. Contractor’s failure to timely
make such a claim shall result in a waiver of the claim.
e. No compensation described in Section 11(c) shall be paid and no extension
of time to complete the Construction Project shall be granted if the suspension results from
Contractor’s non-compliance with or breach of the terms or requirements of this
Agreement.
12. Termination for Contractor’s Fault:
a. If Contractor refuses or fails to timely do the work, or any part thereof, or
fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or otherwise breaches any
terms or conditions of this Agreement, the City may, by written notice, terminate this
Agreement and the Contractor’s right to proceed with all or any part of the Construction
Project (“Termination Notice Due to Contractor’s Fault”). The City may then take over
the Construction Project and complete it, either with its own resources or by re-letting the
contract to any other third party, and may immediately take possession of and use such
materials, appliances, tools, and equipment as may be on the site and which may be
necessary for the completion of the Construction Project.
b. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 12, Contractor shall be
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered. In the case of a
lump sum or unit price contract, Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment
until the Construction Project has been completed. Upon completion of the Construction
Project, if the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s compensation exceeds the cost to the City
of completing the work, including all costs paid to any subcontractors or third parties
retained by the City to complete the Construction Project and all administrative costs
resulting from the termination (“City’s Cost for Completion”), such excess shall be paid to
the Contractor. If the City’s Cost for Completion exceeds the unpaid balance of the
Contractor’s compensation, then Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay
the difference, plus interest at the rate applicable to court judgments, to the City.
c. Any termination provided for by this Section 12 shall be in addition to any
other remedies to which the City may be entitled under the law or at equity.

d. In the event of termination under this Section 12, Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
13. Termination for City’s Convenience:
a. Should conditions arise which, in the sole opinion and discretion of the City,
make it advisable to the City to cease work on the Construction Project, the City may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (“Notice of Termination for
City’s Convenience”). The termination shall be effective in the manner specified in the
Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience and shall be without prejudice to any claims
that the City may otherwise have against Contractor.
b. Upon receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, unless
otherwise directed in the Notice, the Contractor shall immediately cease work on the
Construction Project, discontinue placing orders for materials, supplies, and equipment for
the Construction Project, and make every reasonable effort to cancel all existing orders or
contracts upon terms satisfactory to the City. Contractor shall do only such work as may
be necessary to preserve, protect, and maintain work already completed, in progress, or in
transit to the construction site.
c. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 13, Contractor is
entitled to payment only for those services Contractor actually rendered and materials
actually purchased or which Contractor has made obligations to purchase on or before the
receipt of the Notice of Termination for City’s Convenience, and reasonably incurred costs
for demobilization of Contractor’s and any subcontractor’s crews. It is agreed that any
materials that City is obligated to purchase from Contractor will remain the City’s sole
property.
d. The compensation described in Section 13(c) is the sole compensation due
to Contractor for its performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall, under no
circumstances, be entitled to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature arising, or claimed to have arisen, as a result of the termination.
14. Limitation on Contractor’s Damages; Time for Asserting Claim:
a. In the event of a claim for damages by Contractor under this Agreement,
Contractor’s damages shall be limited to contract damages and Contractor hereby expressly

waives any right to claim or recover consequential, special, punitive, lost business
opportunity, lost productivity, field office overhead, general conditions costs, or lost profits
damages of any nature or kind.
b. In the event Contractor wants to assert a claim for damages of any kind or
nature, Contractor shall provide City with written notice of its claim, the facts and
circumstances surrounding and giving rise to the claim, and the total amount of damages
sought by the claim, within ten (10) days of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
claim. In the event Contractor fails to provide such notice, Contractor shall waive all rights
to assert such claim.
15. Representatives and Notices:
a. City’s Representative: The City’s Representative for the purpose of this
Agreement shall be Ellie Staley or such other individual as City shall designate in writing.
Whenever approval or authorization from or communication or submission to City is
required by this Agreement, such communication or submission shall be directed to the
City’s Representative and approvals or authorizations shall be issued only by such
Representative; provided, however, that in exigent circumstances when City’s
Representative is not available, Contractor may direct its communication or submission to
other designated City personnel or agents and may receive approvals or authorization from
such persons.
b. Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor’s Representative for the
purpose of this Agreement shall be Rob Evans or such other individual as Contractor shall
designate in writing. Whenever direction to or communication with Contractor is required

16. Locating Underground Facilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
and determining the location of any underground facilities, including but not limited to, the
location of any pipelines or utility supply, delivery, or service lines in accordance with the
provisions of §69-4-501, et seq., Montana Code Annotated (MCA). Contractor shall make every
effort to avoid damage to underground facilities and shall be solely responsible for any damage
that may occur. If City personnel assume responsibility for locating any underground facilities,
this fact shall be noted in writing prior to commencement of such location work.
17. Permits: Contractor shall provide all notices, comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and regulations, obtain all necessary permits, licenses, including a City of
Bozeman business license, and inspections from applicable governmental authorities, pay all fees
and charges in connection therewith, and perform all surveys and locations necessary for the timely
completion of the Construction Project.
18. Ownership of Artwork. The City shall be the legal owner of the Artwork once it
is installed. Until installation and title transfers, Contractor remains the owner of the Artwork. See
paragraph 9 of this Construction Agreement for Artwork-specific warranties which apply only to
the Artwork and not to the Construction Project in its entirety. For the Artwork, the Parties agree
to sign a Transfer and Assignment of Copyright for Public Artwork, attached as Exhibit D, prior
to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork.
In addition, as required by the U.S. Copyright Act, and as set forth in paragraph 24(d) of
this Agreement, Contractor and its sub-contractors which are providing murals and other artwork
related to the Artwork agree to sign, prior to the City’s acceptance of the Artwork, a 1990 Visual
Artists’ Rights Act Waiver (“Waiver”), attached as Exhibit E. Contractor and its applicable
subcontractors acknowledge that by signing the Waiver, they are agreeing to voluntarily waive
all rights to attribution and integrity with respect to the Artwork, and any and all claims that may
arise under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (“VARA”), 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(A) and 113(d) or
any other local, state, or federal law that conveys the same or similar “moral rights,” as defined
by VARA, with respect to the Artwork.
Contractor agrees to provide Exhibit D and Exhibit E to its subcontractors for the
Artwork. Contractor must return executed copies to the City at the time title transfers. Once the
Transfer of Copyright for Public Artwork is executed, the City will become copyright owner and
take title in and to the Artwork, and any and all drawings, sketches, models, and any other
documents or materials created by the Contractor in furtherance of the Artwork. The Contractor
agrees to deliver to the City all such materials within five (5) working days of title transfer.
19. Maintenance, Repairs, and Alterations of the Artwork. The City recognizes that
due to the nature of the Artwork, maintenance is essential. Upon transfer of the title of Artwork
and legal ownership passes to the City, as set forth in paragraph 18, the City retains full discretion
and responsibility to maintain and protect the Artwork. The City retains the sole right to determine
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7F51E609-DAC2-4001-AD4D-3F3C9984697ADocuSign Envelope ID: 557D5920-3C18-4483-98A6-0B380DEDBD7C

whether, when, and to what extent any repairs to the Artwork will occur. The City is not obligated
to provide the Contractor or any of its subcontractors for the Artwork notice before undertaking
any repairs or modifications to the Artwork. However, the City shall endeavor to notify the
Contractor of any proposed alteration of the Artwork. Contractor is responsible for maintaining a
current contact person and contact information to receive such notice. If Contractor receives such
notice from the City, it is responsible for notifying its subcontractors for the Artwork. The City is
under no obligation to provide notice to the Contractor if the Contractor fails to maintain such
contact information with the City.
Because the Artwork is attached to the City’s property, Contractor agrees to indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the City against any and all liability, damage, loss, or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation, incurred by the City for any and all claims
raised under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
Should the City determine that the removal or extraction of the Artwork is necessary,
Contractor retains first priority to reclaim physical possession of the Artwork. In such an instance,
Contractor is responsible for all associated costs of such removal.
20. Laws and Regulations: Contractor shall comply fully with all applicable state and
federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances including, but not limited to, all workers’
compensation laws, all environmental laws including, but not limited to, the generation and
disposal of hazardous waste, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules,
codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City,
County, and State building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all non-
discrimination, affirmative action, and utilization of minority and small business statutes and
regulations.
21. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay: Contractor agrees that all hiring by Contractor
of persons performing this Agreement shall be on the basis of merit and qualifications. Contractor
will have a policy to provide equal employment opportunity in accordance with all applicable state
and federal anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and contracts. Contractor shall not refuse
employment to a person, bar a person from employment, or discriminate against a person in
compensation or in a term, condition, or privilege of employment because of race, color, religion,
creed, political ideas, sex, age, marital status, national origin, actual or perceived sexual
orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, except when the reasonable demands of
the position require an age, physical or mental disability, marital status or sex distinction.
Contractor shall be subject to and comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section
140, Title 2, United States Code, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.

Contractor has been found guilty of within 60 days of such finding for violations occurring during
the term of this Agreement.
Contractor shall require these nondiscrimination terms of its subcontractors providing
services under this Agreement.
22. Intoxicants; DOT Drug and Alcohol Regulations: Contractor shall not permit or
suffer the introduction or use of any intoxicants, including alcohol or illegal drugs, upon the site
of the Construction Project. Contractor acknowledges it is aware of and shall comply with its
responsibilities and obligations under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
governing anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention plans and related testing. City shall have the
right to request proof of such compliance and Contractor shall be obligated to furnish such proof.
The Contractor shall be responsible for instructing and training the Contractor's employees
and agents in proper and specified work methods and procedures. The Contractor shall provide
continuous inspection and supervision of the work performed. The Contractor is responsible for
instructing its employees and agents in safe work practices.

be paid to the Contractor’s employees and the frequency of such payments (i.e., hourly
wage employees shall be paid weekly). Such posting shall be made in a prominent and
accessible location at the site of the Construction Project and shall be made no later than
the first day of work. Such posting shall be removed only upon the final completion of the
Construction Project and the termination of this Agreement.
b. In performing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the work on
the Construction Project, Contractor shall give preference to the employment of bona fide
residents of Montana, as required by §18-2-403, MCA, and as such, term is defined by
§18-2-401(1), MCA. When making assignments of work, Contractor shall use workers
both skilled in their trade and specialized in their field of work for all work to which they
are assigned.

Labor and Industry and which are applicable to Gallatin County. Contractor shall pay all
hourly wage employees on a weekly basis. Violation of the requirements to pay applicable
prevailing wage rates may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in §18-2-407,
MCA. Contractor shall maintain payroll records and provide certified copies to the City.
Contractor shall maintain such payroll records during the term of this Agreement, the
course of the work on the Construction Project, and for a period of three (3) years following
the date of final completion of the Construction Project and termination of this Agreement.
d. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement and throughout the
course of Contractor’s performance of the Construction Project, any labor problems or
disputes of any type arise or materialize which in turn cause any work on the Construction
Project to cease for any period of time, Contractor specifically agrees to take immediate
steps, at its own expense and without expectation of reimbursement from City, to alleviate
or resolve all such labor problems or disputes. The specific steps Contractor shall take to
resume work on the Construction Project shall be left to the discretion of Contractor;
provided, however, that Contractor shall bear all costs of any related legal action.
Contractor shall provide immediate relief to the City so as to permit the work on the
Construction Project to resume and be completed within the time frames set forth in the
Construction Schedule at no additional cost to City.

Artist: Stella Nall
West Mural (1)
Colors:
this fur pattern will be present on the whole being,I just don’t like to render all of it for sketches because it is quite time consuming :-) It is characteristic of mypainting, and was inspired by the back stitching of beadwork.
Title: Baáchuuaashe(baáchuu 'berry' + áashi 'river', the Crow name for Bozeman
Statement:
As an artist I am driven by three primary forces: to process my experiences, to connect with others, and to advocate for change. Through this mural I hope to direct thought towards our relationship with the earth, and to celebrate the plants and animals that we share it with. My work often features imaginary creatures which tell a story. This happy creature’s belly is full of berries which are all edible and native to this area. I included this imagery to give thanks for the abundance of nature which we are so fortunate to live in and around, and the joy and nourishment which it provides us. By naming this Bozeman-being the Apsáalooke (Crow) name for this land, Baáchuuaashe, I hope to honor my ancestors who traveled here before us, to share our language, and to cele-brate the active presence of Indigenous members of the Bozeman community today. Growing up in Bozeman, I didn’t see very much Native American artwork, and it was discouraging to my goals of becoming a professional artist. I am excited to help provide more public Indigenous art for our community, and hope to help encourage future generations to continue working to make Bozeman an inclusive place for everyone.

NOTES
1) Sculptures and mounting details will be closely coordinated with the City of Bozeman to ensure required
clearances are maintained. 30 feet of vertical clearance to be maintained over dumpster tip pads.
2) Prior to installation, the DBP will provide the City a structural engineer report with mounting details,
elevations, and height for review and approval. See the following pages for the preliminary design.

Alley Ways are highly underused public corridors
that have the potential for unexpected interaction and
adventures. The objective of this art-scape is to turn this
underutilized space into an interactive journey through
the Bozeman Landscape. The Sculptures revitalize THE alley,
Leading the public to possible adventures in the area, and
inspiring further exploration.
Against the backdrop of the tall buildings, limited
light and muted tones, the contrasting bright colors of
the sculptures enliven the alley and catches the public’s
attention. The three sculptures protrude from the wall
making them more visible and encouraging the public to
explore the corridor. From far away only the shapes of the
animals are recognizable, Acting as a prelude to the elements
they represent. Each sculpture was designed in a way to
look as if it was leaping out of each animal’s corresponding
landscape feature. As the public approaches the sculptures,
their place in the Bozeman topography becomes recognized
and a spark for exploration is ignited.

Each sculpture corresponds to a backdrop displaying
a significant and recognizable feature of the Gallatin Valley.
If a map was placed over the Elevation of parking garage the
backdrops correlate to the exact geographic location in
relation to each other. Upon approaching these the sculptures
the Backdrops become more recognizable and the connection
to the Landscape becomes more realized. This Idea can be
strengthened by providing access to a visual graphic of the
full map at both ends of the alleyway. This Provides a plan of
action to explore the areas experienced in the art-scape.
These Backdrops were designed to enhance the
Art, but also to incorporate a Barrier to limit access to
the sculptures. The openings in the facade of the parking
garage Allow access to climb or vandalize the sculptures.
The backdrop blends a functional safety element into a Key
feature of the art piece. This addition brings depth to the
artistic concept and adds another layer of complexity To the
experience through the Alley. Functional art!
Bozeman’s unique culture would not be the same
without its breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys. This
art sculpture strives to empower the public with a better
understanding of possibilities of adventure and exploration
in this area. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area
by creating a visually appealing art-scape that is informative
and intrigues the public to activate this unused space. Once
immersed in the alley, the public is able to interact with
bozeman in a unique and playful way that connects them to
this beautiful landscape.

All of the extracted backdrop’s locations correlate directly to a map of the Gallatin Valley giving a scale and reference to the highlighted topography
elements. Once the map is removed a perceptual phenomenon occurs called “Filling-in at the blind spot”, where the visual system fills the informational void
with surrounding visual attributes. Once the relationship of the landscape to the art sculptures is realized, the public actively uses their imagination to fill
in the adventure they desire.

Description:
The “Birds Eye View” is a large Hawk sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of Mountain adventures in the Bozeman
area. This figure brings attention to prominent topography elements, viewing them just like a bird soaring through the air. The Bird
is positioned to look as if it was flying out of the Bridger range topography By Sacajawea Peak. The Sculpture is colored to match
the topography elements of the wall backdrop, visually emphasizing the possible terrain exploration in this area. The lattice
Slate design of the bird is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics of
the backdrop and gives the illusion that the graphics are FLYING of the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bird. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening the connection of the 2-d
world to the 3-d world, the possible adventure in the bozeman terrain can be realized through “Birds Eye View”.

Description:
“On the Horizon” is a large bobcat sculpture that brings attention
to the possibilities of Urban adventure in the Bozeman area. This
figure represents the methods of exploring the downtown area
on the ground level, just like how a bobcat would explore the
wilderness. The Sculpture is positioned to look as if it was Climbing
out of the streets of bozeman, reaching for further exploration
in this area. Amongst the Downtown background display, the exact
location of the alley in relation to all three sculptural elements
is highlighted, emphasizing the public’s connection to the landscape
and bringing a level of personal relation to the sculpture. THE
ROADS ARE THE VEINS OF adventure, SHOWING HOW TO ACCESS areas of
exploration. The Sculpture is colored to match the road graphic
elements of the Steel wall background, visually emphasizing the
possible urban exploration in this area and sparking inspiration
to explore. The Copper color connects the man-made roads of the
landscape to the industrial copper industry, WHICH has shaped many
towns in Montana. The lattice Slate design is composed of 2-d parts
to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d
graphics and gives the illusion that the graphics are CLIMBING of
the wall and morphing into the shape of the Bobcat. The Landscape
backdrop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access

Description:
The “Fish eye Lens” is a large trout fish sculpture that brings attention to the possibilities of water adventure
in the Bozeman area. This figure represents the Hyalite area on the water level, just like how a fish would ex-
plore the rivers and lakes. The Fish is positioned to look as if it was leaping out of hyalite Reservoir (a prominent
and recognizable water element of this area). The Sculpture is colored to match the water graphic elements of
the steel wall background, visually emphasizing the possible aquatic exploration in this area. The lattice Slate
design is composed of 2-d parts to create The 3-d shape of the sculpture. This method mimics the 2-d graphics and
gives the illusion that the graphics are leaping of the wall and morphing into the shape of the fish. The Land-
scape back drop camouflages a steel metal mesh screen, inhibiting access to the sculpture. By strengthening
