AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Finance
RECOMMENDATION:The City Commission approve the "writing-off" from the City's general
accounting ledger stale Accounts Payable warrants (also known as checks)
issued by the City over a year ago that have not been cashed by the recipient
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:Per Section 7-6-4303 of Montana Code Annotated (MCA), the City may
cancel municipal warrants that have remained outstanding or un-cashed for
one year or longer. In alignment with MCA, this item requests that stale
Accounts Payable checks (also known as warrants) issued by the City over a
year ago that have not been cashed be "written off" of the General Ledger of
the City. Attached to this report, the Commission will find details on the
checks to be written off and information specific to attempts have made to
contact check recipients. The Commission's action of writing-off these
checks will not preclude the holder of a stale check from ever being paid the
amount they are due. The action by the Commission will simply result in
eliminating the effects of this stale activity from the City's Balance Sheet.
This action allows the City to maintain records in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles which will be validated by the annual audit.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:Recipients of checks (also known as warrants) from the City who have not
cashed them have not responded to multiple inquiries. Writing the checks
out of the general ledger does not remove the opportunity for a recipient to
later cash a check. In the event a written off check is cashed, funds will be
made available within the appropriate fiscal year's budgeted dollars which
may include Reserve Funds. Reserve funds can be used for unexpected
expenses such as these.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission.
20
FISCAL EFFECTS:The total amount of checks to be written off of the General Ledger is
$34,880.24. As a result, Cash (an asset) will be added back to the City's
balance sheet with a corresponding amount recorded to "Abandoned
Property" (a liability), resulting in no change in the City's Net Financial
Position.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is based on the application materials submitted and public comment received to date.
The application materials are available in the City’s Laserfiche archive and may be accessed
through the Community Development viewer.
Unresolved Issues.
There are no unresolved issues with this application.
Project Summary
The Department of Community Development received a Preliminary Plat Application on January
10, 2025, requesting to subdivide 25.32 acres to create 45 buildable lots, 3 open space lots, and 1
city park lot with easements and associated right of way. The subject property is zoned R-3
(Residential Medium Density District).
Proposed land uses for the subdivision are primarily residential in the form of single household
dwellings on individual lots; however, several larger lots are proposed which could
accommodate multiple unit dwellings. Exhibit 6 below shows proposed uses over the entire
subdivision. Development of lots within the subdivision will be subject to Bozeman Municipal
Code (BMC) provisions at the time of development for R-3 Zoning.
One city park lot is proposed within the overall subdivision. The park totals 3.44 acres and will
connect to the existing parkland located to the east within the Southbridge Subdivision. Three
additional open space lots are proposed to facilitate stormwater retention, pedestrian right-of-
way, utilities, and watercourse and wetland buffers. A park master plan is included under
application document 005.
One collector and two local streets are proposed to be completed within the subdivision. The
extension of Blackwood Road along the southern property line running east-west, the extension
of Kurk Drive near the middle of the subdivision running east-west, and Last Loop Drive
extending north-south through the subdivision. Blackwood Road along the southern boundary is
considered a collector street and is proposed as a modified or custom street section to
accommodate adjacent unannexed property and will be constructed within a 45-foot-wide right-
of-way. This design process was reviewed under the authority of the Director of Transportation
and Engineering per BMC 38.200.010.F for modifications to the City’s street improvement
standards in BMC 38.400.010. The extensions of Kurk Drive and Last Loop Drive will be
constructed to local street standards within the required 60-foot-wide rights-of-way. Two alleys
are also proposed within the subdivision. Alley A is located within Block 1 in the northwest
corner of the subdivision, providing access to lots fronting on the proposed greenway corridor
per BMC 38.400.090.B.2.c. Alley B is located within Block 3 in the southwest corner of the
subdivision, providing additional access to lots along Blackwood Road and Last Loop Drive.
Alley A will be constructed within a 30-foot-wide right-of-way, and Alley B will be constructed
51
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 3 of 31
within a 20-foot-wide right-of-way. Both alleys will be maintained by the subdivision Property
Owners’ Association.
The subdivision is proposed to be completed in one phase and developed with uses permitted
under sketch plan review. Therefore, the application does not qualify for concurrent
construction. All subdivision improvements must be installed prior to the issuance of a building
permit for any lot within a subdivision.
A jurisdictional watercourse with associated wetlands and irrigation facility will be impacted by
the proposed subdivision. An unnamed tributary/intermittent stream/irrigation ditch crosses
north-south through the subject property, beginning near Blackwood Road and ending at
Parkway Avenue along the northern property line. A wetland delineation report is located in the
application documents under document 013. Extensions to Kurk Drive and Blackwood Road
will extend across the watercourse and wetland, however, culverts already exist and are not
proposed to be modified with the road extensions. Additionally, a 25-foot-wide public access
easement will extend across the watercourse and wetland area near the middle of the property to
provide a mid-block pedestrian crossing, mitigating overall block length requirements.
Application document 014.03 provides documentation from a water rights attorney identifying
no impacted agricultural water users. One upstream water rights owner was identified and a
notice of the proposed subdivision was provided per BMC 38.410.060.D.2.a and included as
document 014.05. The proposed subdivision is located within the Middle Creek Ditch
Company’s place of use, but it is unclear if the waterway is considered a lateral ditch or a natural
watercourse. To maintain transparency and caution, the applicant submitted notification of the
proposed subdivision to the Middle Creek Ditch Company in compliance with BMC
38.360.280.B and provided the required 45-calendar days for submittal of any written comments,
which ended on April 11, 2025. No comments have been received from the Middle Creek Ditch
Company at the time of writing this staff report. The applicant must contact the Gallatin County
Conservation District, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers regarding the proposed project and any required permits needed for impacting
watercourses and wetlands (i.e., 310, 404, Turbidity exemption, etc.). Any required permits must
be obtained by the applicant and provided to the Community Development Department prior to
construction and final plat approval. The City’s wetlands consultant reviewed the aquatic
resources delineation and functional assessment and found the reports to be sound, with a
recommended code provision for the application to obtain the required permits prior to
commencing any construction. Watercourse plantings as trees, shrubs, and native grass seed will
be provided for restoration where impacts are proposed for necessary infrastructure construction.
Further analysis of the watercourse and associated wetlands is located below in the staff analysis
section for Surface Water.
On May 22, 2025, the Development Review Committee (DRC) found the application sufficient
for continued review and recommends the conditions and code provisions identified in this
report.
52
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 4 of 31
The subdivider did not request any waivers or variances with this application. The City has
received two written public comments on the application as of the writing of this report.
The final decision for this preliminary plat must be made by August 19, 2025, or 60 working
days from the sufficiency date per BMC 38.240.100 and MCA 76-3-616 for exempt
subdivisions.
The Community Development Board acting in their capacity as the Planning Board considered
the application and provided a recommendation of approval on July 7, 2025. No public
comment was received at the meeting. There was one question from the board about potential
duplicate files listed in the Public Documents folder, and no discussions regarding the proposed
subdivision. A motion to recommend approval of the subdivision was passed 5-0.
Alternatives
1. Approve the application with the recommended conditions;
2. Approve the application with modifications to the recommended conditions;
3. Deny the application based on the Commission’s findings of non-compliance with the
applicable criteria contained within the staff report; or
4. Continue the public meeting on the application, with specific direction to staff or the
subdivider to supply additional information or to address specific items.

65
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 17 of 31
1) Compliance with the survey requirements of Part 4 of the Montana Subdivision and
Platting Act
The preliminary plat was prepared in accordance with the surveying and monumentation
requirements of the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act by a Professional Engineer registered
in the State of Montana. As noted in the code requirements, the final plat must comply with State
statute, Administrative Rules of Montana, and the Bozeman Municipal Code.
2) Compliance with the local subdivision regulations provided for in Part 5 of the Montana
Subdivision and Platting Act
The final plat must comply with the standards identified and referenced in the Bozeman
Municipal Code. The subdivider is advised that unmet code provisions, or code provisions not
specifically listed as a condition of approval, do not, in any way, create a waiver or other
relaxation of the lawful requirements of the Bozeman Municipal Code or State law. Sections 3
and 4 of this report identify conditions and code provisions necessary to meet all municipal
standards. The listed code requirements address necessary documentation and compliance with
standards. Therefore, upon satisfaction of all conditions and code corrections the subdivision will
comply with the subdivision regulations.
3) Compliance with the local subdivision review procedures provided for in Part 6 of the
Montana Subdivision and Platting Act
The Bozeman Planning Board public meeting and City Commission public meetings were
properly noticed in accordance with the Bozeman Municipal Code. Based on the
recommendation of the Development Review Committee (DRC) and other applicable review
agencies, as well as any public testimony received on the matter, the City Commission will make
the final decision on the subdivider’s request. Review of this subdivision was conducted under
the terms of 76-3-616 MCA as authorized in 38.240.100.
The Department of Community Development received a preliminary plat application on January
10, 2025. The DRC reviewed the preliminary plat application and determined the submittal did
not contain the detailed, supporting information that was sufficient to allow for the continued
review of the proposed subdivision.
A revised application was received on March 7, 2025. The DRC determined the application was
still not adequate for continued review.
A revised application was received on April 23, 2025. The DRC determined the application was
adequate for continued review May 22, 2025 and recommended conditions of approval and code
corrections for the staff report.
The applicant posted public notice on the subject property on May 29, 2025. The applicant sent
public notice to all landowners of record within 200-feet of the subject property via first class
mail, on June 13, 2025. One public comment has been received on this application as of the
writing of this report.
66
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 18 of 31
On July 1, 2025, a major subdivision staff report was completed and forwarded with a
recommendation of conditional approval for consideration to the Planning Board.
4) Compliance with Chapter 38, BMC and other relevant regulations
Community Development staff and the DRC reviewed the preliminary plat against all applicable
regulations and the application complies with the BMC and all other relevant regulations with
conditions and code corrections. This report includes Conditions of Approval and required code
provisions as recommended by the DRC for consideration by the City Commission to complete
the application processing for final plat approval. All municipal water and sewer facilities will
conform to the regulations outlined by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and
the requirements of the Design Standards and Specifications Policy (DSSP) and the City of
Bozeman Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications.
Water/sewer – The subdivision will not significantly burden city's water and sewer
infrastructure with the recommended conditions of approval and code provisions. Document 017
contains the preliminary design report for water systems improvements in the proposed
subdivision, stamped by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Montana. Document
018 contains the preliminary design report for sanitary sewer system improvements in the
proposed subdivision, also stamped by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Montana.
Both reports were reviewed by the Engineering Division for compliance with state and local
Public Works Standard Specifications, the City’s design standards, the City of Bozeman Water
Facility Plan, and the City of Bozeman Fire Service Line Standard and found to meet with code
provisions the City’s review requirements. Per the water design report, “the model’s results show
the existing and proposed main extensions will adequately supply the required domestic demands
for the project during all scenarios.” Additionally, per the sewer design report, “the existing
sanitary sewer mains and proposed extensions will serve the proposed subdivision.” Final plans
and specifications will be prepared and reviewed after action on the preliminary plat. The
proposed design will utilize existing water mains within S 23rd Avenue, Last Loop Drive and
Blackwood Road. A new water main is proposed to extend within the Alley A right-of-way to
serve the lots adjacent to the alley in the northwest corner of the subdivision. Another new water
main will connect to the existing mains within Kurk Drive and Parkway Avenue. Existing
sanitary sewer mains to serve the subdivision are located within S 23rd Avenue, Last Loop Drive
and Parkway Avenue. New sanitary sewer mains are proposed to extend within Alley A, Alley
B, Last Loop Drive, and S 23rd Avenue to serve the proposed lots adjacent to those roadways.
Through the subdivision review process, the applicant has proposed two alley sections that will
contain either a single public utility or both water and sewer mains. Due to the requirement for a
utility line to be no more than 9 feet from the edge of the easement or less than 10 feet from a
parallel utility line, the alley widths are proposed to be either 20 feet or 30 feet to accommodate
the presence of this utility infrastructure. Code provision 4d requires funding and maintenance of
all alleys that contain public utilities by the property owners’ association. Since the alleys are
functioning as local streets for the purposes of utility conveyance, this code provision also
67
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 19 of 31
requires a hold harmless and indemnification agreement and a perpetual legal instrument,
acknowledging that the city will not assume dedication and maintenance of the alleys due to the
presence of the private utilities per BMC 38.400.020.A.2. Code provision 12 requires the
applicant offset estimated water demand prior to final plat approval per subsection D of BMC
38.410.130. Per this section, the application may either transfer water rights into city ownership
that are appurtenant to the land being developed or as acceptable to the city, provide payment of
cash-in-lieu of water rights at a rate established by the most recent City Commission resolution,
or a combination of both. Document 014.03 provides documentation a search of the Montana
Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) Water Rights Query System
returned no water rights appurtenant to the subject property proposed for subdivision. The
applicant is proposing to provide cash-in-lieu of water rights to comply with the requirements of
BMC 38.410.130.D. Code provision 12 requires the developer to pay the required cash-in-lieu
of water rights fee with the final plat application.
Easements - The final plat must provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility
easements. Code provision 10 requires that all easements, existing and proposed, must be
accurately depicted and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities
will be located within dedicated street rights-of-way and alleys. The applicant must submit for
review and approval all easements, which designate space for public or private utilities that are not
in the designated pubic right of way. Additional required easements include public drainage
easements for any stormwater facilities located on private property, a 10-foot wide public sidewalk
easement along lots 1 through 7 in Block 1, which front onto the greenway corridor open space
per BMC 38.400.090.B.2.c, and 25-feet wide public access easements running east-west and north-
south through the Open Space 3 lot for the mid-block pedestrian connection and the proposed 10-
feet wide asphalt trail corridors. All easements must be provided using the City’s standard
language. Ten-foot front yard utility easements are depicted on the preliminary plat and are
proposed to be granted with the final plat in accordance with standards. Copies of additional
existing easements are required to be provided with the final plat application.
Parks – The applicant proposes to meet Park and Recreation requirements through parkland
dedication. Park and Recreation requirements using a net residential land area of 8.53 acres and
dedication of 5.28 dwelling units per acre, multiplied by 0.03 acres per dwelling unit of land,
result in an initial requirement of 1.35 acres of land dedication. The developer is proposing 3.45
acres to be dedicated to the City; however, only 1.66 acres of the proposed area qualifies for the
parkland dedication per BMC 38.420.020 and BMC 38.420.080.D. The proposed parkland is
located in the northeast corner of the development, with frontage along Enterprise Boulevard and
Kurk Drive. The proposed parkland will connect to an existing 1.67 acres of parkland within the
Southbridge Subdivision directly east of the subject property. The two parks together will total
approximately 5.12 acres of City parkland between the two developments. An existing
stormwater facility is located within the proposed parkland adjacent to Enterprise Boulevard. As
identified in BMC 38.420.080.D, a stormwater facility may be located within public parkland,
68
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 20 of 31
but the areas do not count towards the required dedication and must be maintained by the
property owner’s association. The proposed parkland dedication is described in document 005
Meadow Bridge Park Master Plan. Proposed amenities to be constructed by the developer
include walking trails, benches, various trail connections, natural areas, and dog stations.
The 2023 Parks, Recreation, and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT) identifies a future Shared
Use Path within the development area. The proposed subdivision includes a north-south 10-foot
wide asphalt transportation pathway through the southern Open Space 3 lot, connecting
Blackwood Road and Kurk Drive. The pathway will be located within a 25-foot-wide public
access easement. The southern portion of the path will be located behind Lots 13 through 23 in
Block 3, between the lots and the open space, and then will meander to align and extend along S
23rd Avenue to its connection with Kurk Drive. In order to minimize disturbance to the
watercourse and wetlands, the easement and path are located as close to the lots as possible;
however, portions of the pathway extend into the watercourse buffer. As permitted in BMC
38.410.100.A.2.e.2.a, trails and trail-related improvements may be placed within the Zone 2
watercourse setbacks. Document 014.01 identifies the portions of the trail that will extend into
the Zone 2 setback. A second 10-foot-wide asphalt pathway will extend east-west through Open
Space 3 as a mid-block pedestrian connection. This path will also be located within a 25-foot-
wide public access easement and will encroach into the Zone 1 and Zone 2 watercourse setbacks.
BMC 38.410.100.A.2.e.2.e permits trails to cross the watercourse within all zones, provided that
appropriate local, state, and federal permits are obtained. Within the proposed park dedication
lot in the northeast corner of the subdivision, the developer is proposing a 12-foot-wide asphalt
pathway connecting Kurk Drive with Enterprise Boulevard. This pathway is proposed to be
wider in order to accommodate necessary maintenance access to the proposed City park. No
portions of the northern pathway are proposed to encroach on the watercourse setbacks.
Code provision 13 identifies multiple code provisions related to the proposed parkland and trail
system. Provision 13b requires a final park master plan and construction drawings prior to
requesting a preconstruction meeting. Provision 13c requires a preconstruction meeting with the
Parks Division prior to commencement of parkland construction. These two provisions will help
the applicant to follow the correct construction process with the City. Provision 13d requires a
note on the plat that the property owners’ association is responsible for snow removal and
maintenance of all recreation pathways within the development, outside of the city park. The
developer will be responsible for maintaining the pathways until 50% of the lots have been sold.
This provision ensures maintenance of pathways within the development does not become a
burden to the Parks Department. Provision 13e requires that easements for trails located within
open space parcels must include the citywide wayfinding signage and allow Parks staff to install
and/or repair wayfinding signs. This provision will help connect the proposed trails to citywide
park infrastructure with consistent signage and directions for users. The proposed park master
plan meets the required parkland dedication and improvement standards with conditions and
code provisions. The Parks Department reviewed the parkland proposal for consistency with the
69
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 21 of 31
park master plan for Meadow Bridge Subdivision, adjacent park master plans, and area sub-
plans.
Stormwater – A preliminary stormwater design report was prepared by a professional engineer
with Sanbell and is located under application document 019. Due to the history of the
surrounding developments, the majority of the necessary infrastructure has been installed prior to
this subdivision application. However, the proposed subdivision will construct additional
stormwater control facilities, which will conform to municipal code and design standards. An
existing wet stormwater pond is located within the portion of the property to be dedicated to the
City for required parkland, but will be maintained by the developer and the future property
owners’ association. Four additional stormwater ponds (1 wet and 3 dry) will also be
constructed with the proposed development throughout the Open Space lots. Code provision 6
details the required development or maintenance of common areas and facilities to be maintained
by the property owners’ association and requires the property owners’ association to maintain all
stormwater facilities outside of the public right-of-way, with the incorporation of a maintenance
plan into the association documents prior to final plat approval. This will ensure the proper
maintenance of necessary stormwater infrastructure as the subdivision is developed and
occupied. An associated plat note is provided on preliminary plat sheet 3 to notify future
property owners of the property owners’ association requirements for ongoing maintenance of
these stormwater facilities.
Agricultural water user facility – The applicant provided document 014.03 from a water rights
attorney, which identified no impacted agricultural water users with this preliminary plat
application. One upstream water rights owner was identified, and a notice of the proposed
subdivision was provided per BMC 38.410.060.D.2.a and included as document 014.05. The
proposed subdivision is located within the Middle Creek Ditch Company’s place of use, but it is
unclear if the waterway is considered a lateral ditch or a natural watercourse. To maintain
transparency and caution, the applicant submitted notification of the proposed subdivision to the
Middle Creek Ditch Company in compliance with BMC 38.360.280.B, and provided the required
45-calendar days for submittal of any written comments, which ended on April 11, 2025. No
comments have been received from the Middle Creek Ditch Company at the time of writing this
staff report. Existing culverts are already located below the proposed Kurk Drive and
Blackwood Road and are not proposed to be modified with the road extensions. An agricultural
water user’s easement must be provided per code provision 11. The easements must be prepared
as documents separate from the final plat but may be referenced on the final plat. The developer's
professional engineer must certify, prior to final plat approval, that the water entering and exiting
the realigned or relocated agricultural water user facility is the same quality and amount of water
that entered or exited the facility prior to realignment or relocation. The code provision is
required to ensure that downstream agricultural water users are not impacted, and appropriate
access for maintenance is provided per state law.
70
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 22 of 31
Police/Fire – The City of Bozeman’s Police and Fire emergency response area includes this
subject property. The subdivision does not impact the City’s ability to provide emergency
services to the subject property. The necessary addresses will be provided to enable 911 response
to individual parcels prior to recording of the final plat. Fire protection standards require
installation of fire hydrants at designated spacing to ensure adequate protection.
5) The provision of easements to and within the subdivision for the location and installation
of any necessary utilities
The final plat will provide and depict all necessary utilities and required utility easements. Code
requirement 10 requires that all easements, existing and proposed, must be accurately depicted
and addressed on the final plat and in the final plat application. Public utilities are generally
located within dedicated street and alley rights-of-way. Easements for future roadways and parks
are required prior to final plat approval.
6) The provision of legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision and the
notation of that access on the applicable plat and any instrument transferring the parcel
The final plat will provide legal and physical access to each parcel within the subdivision. All of
the proposed lots will have frontage on public streets, or frontage on an improved alley and a
greenway corridor or trail corridor with public access, as allowed in BMC 38.400.090. The
proposed preliminary plat sheet 2 depicts the 10-foot wide public sidewalk easement between
Lots 1-7 of Block 1 and Open Space 1 to comply with the greenway corridor requirement.
Documentation of compliance with adopted standards 38.220.060
The Development Review Committee (DRC) completed a subdivision pre-application plan
review on August 9, 2024 and no variances were requested. No waivers were granted during pre-
application review.
Staff offers the following summary comments on the documents required with Article
38.220.060, BMC.
38.220.060.A.1 – Surface water
An unnamed tributary/intermittent stream/irrigation ditch crosses north-south through the subject
property, beginning near Blackwood Road and ending at Parkway Avenue along the northern
property line, as classified by the Gallatin County Conservation District due to the presence of
flowing water year-round. A wetland delineation report is located in the application documents
under document 013. Extensions to Kurk Drive and Blackwood Road will extend across the
watercourse and wetland; however, culverts already exist and are not proposed to be modified
with the road extensions. Additionally, a 25-foot-wide public access easement will extend across
the watercourse and wetland area near the middle of the property to provide a mid-block
pedestrian crossing, mitigating overall block length requirements. The proposed subdivision is
located within the Middle Creek Ditch Company’s place of use, but it is unclear if the waterway
is considered a lateral ditch or a natural watercourse. In an effort to maintain transparency and
71
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 23 of 31
caution, the applicant submitted notification of the proposed subdivision to the Middle Creek
Ditch Company in compliance with BMC 38.360.280.B, and provided the required 45-calendar
days for submittal of any written comments, which ended on April 11, 2025. No comments have
been received from the Middle Creek Ditch Company at the time of writing this staff report.
A wetland delineation report dated June 11, 2024 was provided by Morrison-Maierle and
reviewed by the city’s wetland consultant TerraQuatic. Per the wetland delineation, the subject
property contains 2,519 linear feet of unnamed tributary, 1.63 acres of freshwater emergent
wetlands and 0.92 acres of freshwater emergent scrub-scrub wetlands. The waterway and
wetlands are located in the middle of the subject property running north-south.
TerraQuatic provided a list of corrections for their aquatic resources analysis of the wetland and
watercourse information presented in a letter provided to the applicant dated April 11, 2025. The
main correction requested specific quantities of watercourse setback plantings meeting the
requirements of BMC 38.410.100.A.2.f.1. The applicant provided the required information on
April 23, 2025, with an updated version of drawing 022 Overall Site Plan. Because final impacts
to the waterway and associated wetlands area are subject to final infrastructure review design,
which will occur following the preliminary plat review, the applicant cannot provide exact
impacts with this application. The wetland impacts are under the purview of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The applicant has stated that a “Joint Application for Proposed Work in
Montana’s Streams, Wetlands, Floodplains, and other Water Bodies” is currently being prepared
to mitigate any relevant wetland concerns but has not been finalized or submitted. Code
provision 2 requires the applicant obtain required permits from the Gallatin County Conservation
District, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
regarding the proposed project. These permits must be applied during infrastructure review and
provided prior to construction and final plat approval.
Water course plantings as trees, shrubs, and native grass seed will be provided for restoration and
meet BMC 38.410.100.
38.220.060.A.2 - Floodplains
The subject property is not located within the 100-year floodplain. The property is depicted on
the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 30031C0814D with an effective date of September
1, 2011, and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) 15-08-1248P with an effective date of October
30, 2015. Additionally, the City of Bozeman floodplain administrator reviewed the Meadow
Bridge Subdivision – Floodplain Memorandum dated March 6, 2025 provided by document
014.07 and found it to be compliant with the requirements of BMC 38.600. Pursuant to BMC
38.600.150.D, the floodplain administrator approved the Meadow Bridge Subdivision Floodplain
Memorandum.
38.220.060.A.3 - Groundwater
A groundwater investigation was completed from January 31, 2024 to September 4, 2024 and
provided in the Preliminary Stormwater Design Report by Morrison Maierle and was stamped
72
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 24 of 31
and signed by a professional engineer. This is located in application document 019. The
submitted groundwater monitoring found that groundwater was located less than ½ a foot (0.371
feet) below the surface at MW-2, located in the northwest portion of the site, and approximately
3.21 feet below the surface at MW-6. The remaining sites averaged between 5 feet and 6 feet
below the ground surface. The stormwater design report states that since the bottom of the
proposed stormwater ponds are within 2 feet of seasonally high groundwater elevations, the pond
will be designed as a wet pond in compliance with City standards. This report was evaluated by
the Engineering Division against code requirements in Chapter 38 and engineering design
manuals and was found to meet standards. As a condition of approval, the developer must add a
note on the final plat stating no crawl spaces will be permitted with future development of the
site unless a professional engineer registered in the State of Montana certifies that the lower
point of any proposed structure is located above the seasonal high groundwater level and
provides supporting groundwater data prior to the release of a building permit. Additionally,
sump pumps are not allowed to be connected to the sanitary sewer system or the drainage system
and may not be discharged onto streets where they may create a safety hazard for pedestrians and
vehicles.
38.220.060.A.4 - Geology, Soils and Slopes
This subdivision will not significantly impact the geology, soils, or slopes. No significant
geological features or slopes exist on the site. A geotechnical investigation report was provided
by Rawhide Engineering Inc. and has been stamped and signed by a professional engineer
registered in the State of Montana and reviewed by the Engineering Division for compliance
with City standards.
38.220.060.A.5 - Vegetation
This subdivision will not significantly impact vegetation. No critical plant communities
identified on site. The existing watercourse and associated wetlands will be preserved in the
proposed open space lots and dedicated parkland. The applicant is requesting one departure from
the City of Bozeman Landscape and Irrigation Performance and Design Standards Manual under
BMC 38.550.060. The departure narrative is located in document 026. Specifically, the
applicant requests the established vegetation preservation departure to preserve trees on site to
meet the tree planting requirements of the landscape design manual. Utilizing the departure
allows the development to reduce the area required for new landscaping and allows for a more
water-efficient landscape design in the open spaces, preserving their natural state. This is in
keeping with the City’s water conservation goals and the character of the surrounding
neighborhood. Departure criteria is located within the Landscape and Irrigation Performance
and Design Standards Manual. The City’s Water Conservation Division has reviewed and
approved the requested departure.
38.220.060.A.6 - Wildlife
This subdivision will not significantly impact wildlife. There are no known critical habitats on
the property, or observed or mapped threatened or endangered species. The property is bound by
73
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 25 of 31
existing city streets and residential developments to the north, east, and west. Agricultural uses
and undeveloped land are adjacent to the proposed development to the south. The aquatic
resources on the property include the existing watercourse and associated wetlands, which have
been identified and included in the wetland delineation report found in document 013. Impacts
to this area have been discussed above under Surface Water. The applicant provided an
Environmental Assessment in document 006 and contacted the State of Montana Fish, Wildlife
and Parks (FWP) for comments on the proposed project. The FWP recommended a minimum of
100 feet of vegetated buffer plus 30 additional feet for a building setback, for a total of at least
130 feet from the wetlands. Additionally, FWP recommended promoting and maintaining an
intact riparian zone along the stream within the development to help protect bank integrity as
well as downstream habitats. These recommendations from FWP conflict with the requirements
found in the City’s development regulations. The applicant is proposing a minimum 50-foot
buffer from the edge of the wetlands, as required by BMC 38.410.100, to ensure no lots are
within the area. The applicant is also required to plant watercourse plantings near the stream to
ensure the banks are maintained. Any impacts to the watercourse and wetland will be mitigated
with the required 310 and 404 permits.
38.220.060.A.7 - Agriculture
This subdivision will not impact agriculture. The site was originally a remainder parcel which
resulted from two previous subdivisions, Meadow Creek Subdivision to the west and South
Bridge Subdivision to the east. Although undeveloped, no agricultural uses have occurred on the
property in many years, and no agricultural activities are proposed as the subdivision is
developed. The subject property is designated as Urban Neighborhood according to the 2020
Bozeman Community Plan and is zoned R-3 Residential Medium Density District. The subject
property is adjacent to an unannexed agricultural development to the south. The adjacent
agricultural uses require the applicant to include a section in future property owners’ association
documents addressing agricultural uses of neighboring properties in the following form: "Lot
owners and residents of the subdivision are informed that adjacent uses may be agricultural. Lot
owners accept and are aware that standard agricultural and farming practices can result in dust,
animal odors and noise, smoke, flies, and machinery noise. Standard agricultural practices
feature the use of heavy equipment, chemical sprays and the use of machinery early in the
morning and sometimes late into the evening."
38.220.060.A.8 - Agricultural Water User Facilities
See discussion above under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.9 - Water and Sewer
The subdivision will not significantly impact city water and sewer infrastructure. Water and
sewer improvements will be designed to meet City of Bozeman Standards and State Department
of Environmental Quality Standards and Regulations. Also see discussion above under primary
review criteria.
74
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 26 of 31
38.220.060.A.10 - Stormwater Management
The subdivision will not significantly impact stormwater infrastructure. See discussion above
under primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.11 - Streets, Roads and Alleys
The subdivision will not significantly impact the City’s street infrastructure and will provide
adequate improvements to support the proposed development and nearby areas by improving
adjacent collector and local streets, enhancing multi-modal transportation, and providing local
street access to proposed developable lots.
One collector and two local streets are proposed to be completed within the subdivision. The
extension of Blackwood Road along the southern property line running east-west, the extension
of Kurk Drive near the middle of the subdivision running east-west, and Last Loop Drive
extending north-south through the subdivision. Blackwood Road along the southern boundary is
considered a collector street and is proposed as a modified or custom street section to
accommodate adjacent unannexed property and will be constructed within a 45-foot-wide right-
of-way. This design process was reviewed under the authority of the Director of Transportation
and Engineering per BMC 38.200.010.F for modifications to the City’s street improvement
standards in BMC 38.400.010. The extensions of Kurk Drive and Last Loop Drive will be
constructed to local street standards within the required 60-foot-wide rights-of-way. Two alleys
are also proposed within the subdivision. Alley A is located within Block 1 in the northwest
corner of the subdivision, providing access to lots fronting on the proposed green space per BMC
38.400.090.B.2.c. Alley B is located within Block 3 in the southwest corner of the subdivision,
providing additional access to lots along Blackwood Road and Last Loop Drive. Alley A will be
constructed within a 30-foot-wide right-of-way and Alley B will be constructed within a 20-foot-
wide right-of-way. Both alleys will be maintained by the subdivision Property Owners’
Association.
A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) dated February 2025, stamped and signed by a professional
engineer, was provided in document 012 and evaluated by the reviewing engineer for compliance
with adopted design standards and code requirements.
38.220.060.A.12 – Non-Municipal Utilities
The applicant has received confirmation of future service connections from Northwestern
Energy, Blackfoot Communications, Charter, CenturyLink, and Yellowstone Fiber for the
proposed subdivision. These responses are provided under application document 027.
38.220.060.A.13 - Land Use
The application has provided future land use data consistent with the R-3 zoning district.
Proposed land uses for the subdivision are primarily residential in the form of single detached
households on individual lots; however, several larger lots are proposed, which could
accommodate multiple dwellings. Exhibit 6 below shows proposed uses over the entire
75
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 27 of 31
subdivision. Development of lots within the subdivision will be subject to Bozeman Municipal
Code (BMC) provisions at the time of development for R-3 Zoning. The proposed subdivision
complies with the minimum density of 5 dwellings per net acre for the R-3 Zoning per BMC
38.320.030.C. The net residential density is calculated as the number of residential units per
buildable land, excluding any land to be used as street rights-of-way or parks. The proposed
subdivision contains a total of 25.32 acres and will be divided into 8.53 acres of residential lots,
3.23 acres of street rights-of-way, 3.45 acres of parkland, and 10.11 acres of open space. The
subdivision is proposing 45 dwelling units on the 8.53 net acres and will therefore have a
minimum residential density of 5.28 dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision is
compliant with the minimum required density of the R-3 Zoning.
38.220.060.A.14 - Parks and Recreation Facilities
The proposed subdivision will provide 3.45 acres of new dedicated City parkland. The proposal
meets the required park dedication and improvement standards with conditions and code
provisions. The Parks Department reviewed the parkland proposal. See the previous discussion
under Parks in the primary review criteria.
38.220.060.A.15 - Neighborhood Center Plan
To provide a neighborhood focal point, all residential subdivisions that are ten net acres in size
or greater must have a neighborhood center. The proposed subdivision is 8.53 net acres and,
therefore, is exempt from the requirement of a neighborhood center.
38.220.060.A.16 - Lighting Plan
Subdivision or street lighting is required pursuant to BMC 38.570.030. All street lights installed
must use LED light heads and must conform to the City’s requirement for cut-off shields as
required by the City’s specifications. A Special Improvement Lighting District (SILD) must be
created prior to final plat application. Code provision 8 is related to this issue.
38.220.060.A.17 - Miscellaneous
The proposed subdivision is not located within 200 feet of any public land access or within a
delineated Wildland Urban Interface area. No health or safety hazards on-site or off-site will be
created with this development.
38.220.060.A.19 - Affordable Housing
This application does not rely on incentives authorized in 38.380. Therefore, no analysis is
required.
APPENDIX A – PROJECT SITE ZONING AND GROWTH POLICY
Zoning Designation and Land Uses:
The subject property is zoned R-3, Residential Medium Density District. The intent of the R-3
residential medium density district is to provide for the development of one- to five-household
residential structures near service facilities within the city. This purpose is accomplished by:
76
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 28 of 31
1. Providing for minimum lot sizes in developed areas consistent with the established
development patterns while providing greater flexibility for clustering lots and mixing
housing types in newly developed areas.
2. Providing for a variety of housing types, including single household dwellings, two to
four household dwellings, and townhouses to serve the varied needs of households of
different size, age and character, while reducing the adverse effect of non-residential
uses.
Use of this zone is appropriate for areas with good access to parks, community services and/or
transit.
The proposed subdivision is appropriate for this zone because of the proposed pedestrian
amenities, enhancement of the natural environment within parks and open spaces, and the
development of primarily residential single detached households on individual lots with several
larger lots which could accommodate multiple dwellings.
Adopted Growth Policy Designation:
Table 4 of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 shows the correlation between future land use
map designations and implementing zoning districts. (See below for the Table)
77
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 29 of 31
The subject property is designated as Urban Neighborhood. This category primarily includes
urban density homes in a variety of types, shapes, sizes, and intensities. Large areas of any single
type of housing are discouraged. In limited instances, an area may develop at a lower gross
density due to site constraints and/or natural features such as floodplains or steep slopes.
Complementary uses such as parks, home-based occupations, fire stations, churches, schools,
and some neighborhood-serving commerce provide activity centers for community gathering and
services. The Urban Neighborhood designation indicates that development is expected to occur
within municipal boundaries. This may require annexation prior to development. Applying a
78
25017 Staff Report for Meadow Bridge Subdivision Page 30 of 31
zoning district to specific parcels sets the required and allowed density. Higher density
residential areas are encouraged to be, but are not required or restricted to, proximity to
commercial mixed-use areas to facilitate the provision of services and employment opportunities
without requiring the use of a car.
This proposed subdivision is well suited to implement the Urban Neighborhood designation by
providing residential development in the form of single detached households on individual lots
with several larger lots which could accommodate multiple dwellings along a collector and
multiple local streets. The proposed subdivision also plans pedestrian amenities across the park,
trail, and open space system, allowing access to the surrounding streets with existing pedestrian
networks. Density and individual uses will be evaluated at the time of development against the
R-3 zoning requirements.
The proposed subdivision meets the following Bozeman Community Plan 2020 goals:
N-1 Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods.
N-1.5 Encourage neighborhood focal point development with functions, activities, and facilities
that can be sustained over time. Maintain standards for placement of community focal points and
services with new development.
N-1.9 Ensure multimodal connections between adjacent developments.
N-1.10 Increase connectivity between parks and neighborhoods through continued trail and
sidewalk development. Prioritize closing gaps within the network.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jeff Butts, MPO Manager
SUBJECT:Authorize City Manager to Sign Metropolitan Transportation Planning
Funding Agreement for the Pass-Through of Federal Transit Administration
Section 5303 Funds to the Urban Transportation District
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Agency/Non-profit
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize City Manager to sign Metropolitan Transportation Planning
Funding Agreement for the pass–through of Federal Transit Administration
Section 5303 Funds to the Urban Transportation District.
STRATEGIC PLAN:1.3 Public Agencies Collaboration: Foster successful collaboration with other
public agencies and build on these successes.
BACKGROUND:The Gallatin Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was
established following the 2020 Census, which identified the Bozeman
Urbanized Area as having a population exceeding 50,000. Hosted by the City
of Bozeman, the MPO leads regional transportation planning efforts across
jurisdictions, including coordination with the Urban Transportation District
(UTD), which operates Streamline transit services.
One key area of coordination involves Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Section 5303 planning funds. These funds support transit planning activities
and are included in the MPO’s annual Unified Planning Work Program
(UPWP), which combines the MPO’s budget and work plan. The MPO
receives and passes these funds through to UTD/Streamline with the City,
serving as the MPO host, managing the associated processing and
accounting.
The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Funding Agreement formalizes
the reimbursement process – including contacts and timelines – and builds
upon existing agreements, contracts, and federal requirements. It outlines
the procedures and responsibilities for administering Section 5303 pass–
through funds. The agreement is effective for five years and defines the
respective responsibilities of both the City and the UTD.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission.

demands and costs as well as extend the remaining useful life of existing UV
equipment; 2) obtain approval from Montana DEQ to re-rate the existing
approved design capacity of the UV system to a higher rated capacity
supported by actual system performance data; and 3) provide for seamless
replacement of existing Gen2 UV system components, which the equipment
manufacturer, Trojan Technologies, is no longer supporting in favor of
bringing its new Gen3 equipment to market. The UV disinfection system is
the final treatment process employed at the WRF prior to the discharge of
treated effluent to the East Gallatin River.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.

REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Griffin Nielsen, Project Engineer
Jill Miller, Water Treatment Plant Superintendent
Shawn Kohtz, Utilities Director
SUBJECT:Authorize the City Manager to Sign Amendment 1 to the Professional
Services Agreement with Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services,
LLC for the Sourdough Water Treatment Facility Plan and South Pressure
Zone Study
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Agreement - Vendor/Contract
RECOMMENDATION:Authorize the City Manager to Sign Amendment 1 to the Professional
Services Agreement with Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services,
LLC for the Sourdough Water Treatment Facility Plan and South Pressure
Zone Study.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:The Sourdough Water Treatment Facility Plan (SWTFP) and the South
Pressure Zone Study (SPZS), identified in the City's Capital Improvements
Plan as Project Number W141, are needed to provide a roadmap for capital
replacement and expansion associated with Bozeman’s Sourdough Water
Treatment Plant and new water distribution service area south of Blackwood
Road.
The SWTFP focuses on planning for the long-term maintenance, capacity
upgrades, and expansion needs of the Sourdough Water Treatment Plant, as
well as the transmission and storage facilities for both the Sourdough and
Hyalite water supplies. This plan is essential for guiding investments over a
20-year planning horizon to ensure continued reliable service and to
accommodate future growth.
The SPZS expands on the City’s 2017 Water Facility Plan Update by providing
a detailed evaluation of expansion into a new water service area south of
the current limits of the City’s municipal distribution system. Although the
2017 Plan identified the need for future service areas to accommodate
anticipated growth, it did not include a specific analysis for implementation
south of Blackwood Road.
116
Since the scopes of the SWTFP and SPZS overlap, the City has combined both
efforts under a single contract to ensure coordinated planning and more
effective recommendations. The work is being completed in phases to
support an informed approach.
Phase 1 of the project established the basis of planning for both the SWTFP
and SPZS and included an evaluation of transmission and storage needs for
the Sourdough and Hyalite water sources. Building on this foundation, Phase
2 will focus on developing a master plan for the Sourdough plant site,
assessing treatment process needs, and creating a comprehensive Capital
Improvement Plan to support the plant over the 20-year horizon and guide
expansion into the South Pressure Zone.
The City’s professional services agreement (PSA) with AE2S currently covers
the full scope of the SPZS and Phase 1 of the SWTFP. With these components
nearing completion, the City is prepared to begin Phase 2. Amendment No. 1
to the PSA expands the scope of work to include Phase 2. A detailed
breakdown of the additional services is provided in the attached
amendment.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS:Amendment No. 1 adds a cost of $191,577 to complete the Phase 2 scope,
bringing the total project costs to $433,485. Budget authorization for a total
of $455,000 was provided in fiscal year 2025 for the combined Phase 1 and
Phase 2 work. A roll forward budget amendment to move the remaining
funds into fiscal year 2026 was completed with the recent fiscal year 2026
budget adoption.

1.4. INTERPRETATION
1.4.1. In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as "all"
and "any" and articles such as "the" and "an," but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one

Contractor constitutes the complete and irrevocable binding of the Contractor and his Surety to the Owner

Contractor acknowledges that it has reviewed and familiarized itself with all aspects of the Contract
Documents and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions contained therein.

subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably
ascertainable from an inspection of the site, 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.
1.5.4. The Owner assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the
Contractor based on the information made available by the Owner, nor does the Owner assume

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 construction, use or occupancy
of permanent structures or for permanent changes in existing facilities.
2.1.5. Information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents shall be furnished by
the Owner with reasonable promptness. Any other information or services relevant to the Contractor's

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 Owner to

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

cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

states how problems or delays will be resolved in order to deliver the Work by the required phasing
milestones (if any), Substantial Completion(s), and Final Acceptance dates.
3.10.8. Delay in Performance: If at any time the Contractor anticipates that performance of the Work will
be delayed or has been delayed, the Contractor shall: (1) immediately notify the Owner, Engineer and
GC/CM by separate and distinct correspondence of the probable cause and effect of the delay, and
possible alternatives to minimize the delay; and, (2) take all corrective action reasonably necessary to
deliver the Work by the required dates. Nothing in this paragraph or the Contract Documents shall be
construed by the Contractor as a granting by the Owner of constructive acceleration. The results of failure

to anticipate delays, or to timely notify the Owner of an anticipated or real delay, are entirely the
responsibility of the Contractor whether compensable or not.
3.10.9. Early Completion: The Contractor may attempt to achieve Substantial Completion(s) on or before
the date(s) required in the Contract. However, such early completion shall be for the Contractor’s sole
convenience and shall not create any real or implied additional rights to Contractor or impose any
additional obligations on the Owner. The Owner will not be liable for nor pay any additional compensation
of any kind to the Contractor for achieving Substantial Completion(s) or Final Acceptance prior to the
required dates as set forth in the Contract.
3.10.10. Float in Schedule. Any and all float time in the Contractor’s schedule, regardless of the path or
activity, shall accrue to the benefit of the Owner and the Work, and not to the Contractor. Float also
includes any difference shown between any early completion dates shown on the Contractor’s Schedule
for any phasing milestone(s), Substantial Completion(s) or Final Acceptance and the dates or durations
as required by the Contract Documents.
3.10.11. Modification of Required Substantial Completion(s) or Final Acceptance Dates: Modification of the
required dates shall be accomplished only by duly authorized, accepted, and approved change orders
stating the new date(s) with specificity on the change order form. All rights, duties, and obligations,
including but not limited to the Contractor’s liability for actual, delay, and/or liquidated damages, shall be
determined in relation to the date(s) as modified.
3.11. DOCUMENTATION AND AS-BUILT CONDITIONS AT THE SITE

Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar required submittals. These shall be available to the
Owner at any time and shall be delivered to the Owner upon completion of the Work.
3.11.2. The Owner shall not be required to process final payment until all documentation and data
required by the Contract Documents is submitted to and approved by the Owner including, but not limited
to, the As-Built Drawings. The Owner will not process any final request for payment until the Owner has
received and verified that the Contractor has performed the requirements pertaining to the as-built
drawings.
3.11.3. The as-built drawings shall be neatly and clearly marked during construction to record all
deviations, variations, changes, and alterations as they occur during construction along with such
supplementary notes and details necessary to clearly and accurately represent the as-built condition.

3.12.2. Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. The
purpose of their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for which submittals are
required by the Contract Documents the way by which the Contractor proposes to conform to the
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.
3.12.3. The Contractor shall review, and approve Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar
submittals required by the Contract Documents within sixty (60) calendar days of being issued the Notice
To Proceed unless noted otherwise and shall do so in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or
in the activities of the Owner or of separate contractors. Any submittal that, in the opinion of the Owner, is
incomplete in any area or detail may be rejected and returned to the Contractor. It is the responsibility of
and incumbent upon the Contractor to ensure and confirm that all submittals are complete, accurate, and
in conformance to the Contract Documents prior to submission.
3.12.4. By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the
Contractor represents and guarantees to the Owner that the Contractor has determined and verified
materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and has
checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the
Work and of the Contract Documents.
3.12.5. The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require
submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective
submittal has been approved. Should the Contractor, Subcontractors or Sub- 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 by the Owner on
previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice the Owner's approval of a re- submission shall
not apply to such revisions.
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,

153397
Page 16 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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 review and verification of all performance or design criteria as required by
Paragraph 3.2.
3.12.9. Unless noted otherwise in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner
within sixty (60) days from the date of the Notice To Proceed a minimum of six (6) complete copies of all
shop/setting drawings, schedules, cut sheets, products, product data, and samples required for the
complete Work, or as specified within the Contract Documents. Copies shall be reviewed, marked,
stamped and approved on each and every copy by the Contractor 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 of the Owner, Engineer and GC/CM.
3.12.10. Cost for Re-Submissions: the Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all shop drawings,
product data, samples, and submittals contain all information required by the Contract Documents to
allow the Owner to take action. The Contractor shall pay the Owner’s cost of reviewing any submittal item
exceeding two reviews for the same item. Such costs shall be deducted from the contract sum by Change
Order.

avoid interference with the Owner’s normal operations to as great an extent as possible.
3.13.4. Except as may be specifically provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide
all necessary temporary facilities, including power, water, sanitation, scaffolding, storage, and reasonable
security. If Owner makes any such facilities available to Contractor, it is without representation or
warranty as to their adequacy for Contractor's use, and Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold
Owner harmless from and against any claims arising out of Contractor's use of such facilities.
3.13.5. The Contractor shall ensure that the Work, at all times, is performed in a manner that affords

performance of the contract free from excessive dust as reasonably determined and directed by the
Owner, and shall comply with the OSHA standards and those of all other regulatory agencies, statutes
and laws. Industry accepted methods of dust control suitable for the areas involved will be permitted,
where such is in compliance with the foregoing and with the approval of the Owner. No separate
payment will be made for dust control beyond what may be previously approved by Owner as a General
Condition Cost or as included in as a subcontract package item.
3.13.7. The Contractor shall perform all work in strict conformity with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations relating to pollution of any land, stream, and the atmosphere. The Contractor shall, at its
expense, provide suitable facilities to prevent the introduction of any substances or materials onto the

3.15. WORK HOURS, CLEAN UP, AND SITE CONTROL
3.15.1. Work will be performed in accordance with the Contract Documents and the Bozeman Municipal
Code or other applicable law governing the Contractor’s performance of the Work. No delays resulting

4. ARTICLE 4- ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT
4.1 OWNER’S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
4.1.1. The Owner will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents
throughout the complete duration of the project.
4.1.2. The Owner will organize a pre-construction conference between the parties to discuss design and
construction of the project, including timelines and costs.
4.1.3. The Owner will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the contractor’s operations to:
(1) become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work Completed; and (2)
to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully
completed will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Owner will not be required
to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Contractor’s
Work. The Owner will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, for the safety of any person involved in the work
or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the
Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents.
4.1.4. The Owner will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Owner will not have control over or charge of and
will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or
employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

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.
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.

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.

form with the Owner, whether at the site or not, do not constitute initiation of a claim.
Notes in project meeting minutes, email 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

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.
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.

General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
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.
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 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 Subcontractor's Work, which the
Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner. Each subcontract agreement shall

163407
Page 26 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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 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, 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

165409
Page 28 of 53

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

7.2.7. Any and all changes or adjustments to the Contract Time requested or claimed by the Contractor
as a result of a Change Order 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 which 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.

7.3.1. A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared and signed by the Owner or
Engineer, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or
Contract Time, or both. The Owner or Engineer, may, by Construction Change Directive, without
invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the 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:

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

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

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.

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.
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

General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
8.1.9. Contract Time. All work shall reach Substantial Completion (or Final Acceptance) by the date
fixed in the Contract.
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 to Proceed
and in no case prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article 11 to be 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.
8.3.3. This Paragraph 8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other
provisions of the Contract Documents.

9.3.1. The Contractor shall submit to the Owner itemized Applications for Payment for Work completed
on a monthly basis in accordance with a schedule approved by the Owner. Each Application for Payment

requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the
Contract Documents.
9.3.2. The form of Application for Payment must be mutually agreed to by the Owner and Contractor.
The application must be supported by sufficient data to demonstrate the Contractor’s right to payment
and compliance with the payment provisions of the Contract to the satisfaction of the Owner, such as
copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers, partial lien waivers, releases and other
documents. Each Application for Payment must reflect approved Contract Modifications and the Contract
retainage provided for in the Contract Documents.

account of changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives
but not yet included in Change Orders.
9.3.4. Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which
the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier.
9.3.5. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the
Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment
suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment
stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon 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

belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or 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 account
of progress payments. For purposes of this section, “complete” shall mean (a) the Contractor has fully

Contractor, increase the amount held as retainage to whatever level deemed 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.

9.3.7.2.2. 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

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 by the Owner. The
Owner will establish the amount that would otherwise be held as retainage. Should the
Contractor choose to submit obligations/securities in lieu of 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

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;
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;

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.

174418
Page 37 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
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

175419
Page 38 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
9.7.3. Neither final payment nor any remaining retainage shall become due until the Contractor submits:
9.7.3.1 an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or
encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied;
9.7.3.2 a release or waiver of all claims except those that are pending. Notwithstanding
applicable Montana law, if any liens have been filed Contractor shall release, waive or indemnify
Owner therefrom;
9.7.3.3 a certificate evidencing that the Contractor’s liability insurance and Performance Bond
required by the Contract Documents remain in effect during the two-year correction period
following Substantial Completion as set forth in Section 12.2.2.1 and 12.2.2.2, and will not be
canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to the
Owner;
9.7.3.4 a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance
will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents;
9.7.3.5 Consent of Surety Company to Final Payment or other form prescribed by the Owner;
and,
9.7.3.6 if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations,
such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances
arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner;
9.7.3.7 a certified building location survey and as-built site plan in the form and number required
by the Contract Documents;

all requirements including the submission of acceptable as-built drawings and other required
documents.
9.7.3.12 final, approved operating and maintenance manuals; and
9.7.3.13 all documents and verification of training required in accordance with any
Commissioning Plan.
9.7.4. The Contractor and his surety accepts and assumes responsibility, liability, and costs for and
agrees to defend and hold harmless the Owner for and against any and all actions as a result of the
Owner making final payment.
9.7.5. The Contractor and his surety certify and declare that all bills for materials, supplies, utilities and
for all other things furnished or caused to be furnished by the Contractor and all Subcontractors and used
in the execution of the Contract will be fully paid upon receipt of Final Payment and that there are no
unpaid obligations, liens, claims, security interests, encumbrances, liabilities and/or demands of State
Agencies, subcontractors, suppliers, mechanics, laborers or any others resulting from or arising out of any
work done, caused to be done or ordered to be done by the Contractor under the Contract.
9.7.6. The date of Final Payment by the Owner shall constitute Final Acceptance of the Work. The
determining date for the expiration of the warranty period shall be as specified in Paragraphs 3.5 and
12.2.2.
9.7.7. If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through
no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, the Owner shall,
upon application by the Contractor, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance
due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully
completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have
been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor prior to certification of such payment.
Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims.
9.7.8. Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor, or material supplier, shall
constitute a waiver of any and all obligations, liens, claims, security interests, encumbrances and/or
liabilities against the Owner except those previously made in writing per the requirements of Paragraph
4.3 and as yet unsettled at the time of submission of the final Application for Payment.
9.7.9. The Owner’s issuance of Final Payment does not constitute a waiver or release of any kind
regarding any past, current, or future claim the Owner may have against the Contractor and/or the surety.

difference to the Owner.

which would be paid from Tax Increment. The Developer further acknowledges and agrees the
amount and availability of Tax Increment is dependent upon a number of variables, including,
without limitation, the taxable value of the Project, the number of mills levied by Taxing Bodies,
and then-prevailing state laws regarding tax increment financing generally, property taxation,
and computation of Tax Increment. The Developer agrees that if Tax Increment in the amount of
$3,666,396 is not available to the City to reimburse the Developer and/or, if the City, in its sole
discretion, determines that it cannot satisfy the conditions in the Original Resolution to sell the
Bonds or cannot reasonably sell the Bonds, whether due to lack of Tax Increment, legislative
action, market conditions, or otherwise, the City shall have no obligation to pay to the Developer
the amount of reimbursement described in Section 4. The Developer agrees that such event shall
not constitute a default by the City hereunder.
(h) The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the Bonds, if authorized and issued,
are special, limited obligations of the City and shall not be paid from any funds of the City other
than Tax Increment. The Developer understands and agrees the Bonds, if authorized and issued,
will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Original Resolution and the supplemental
bond resolution authorizing their issuance (the Original Resolution, as supplemented by such
supplemental bond resolution, the “Bond Resolution”). The Developer acknowledges and agrees
that an event of default or default under the Bonds or the Bond Resolution does not constitute a
217
7
default under this Agreement, unless the event of default or default is a result of the failure by
the Developer to perform an obligation of the Developer identified in the Bond Resolution.
Section 3. Developer Undertakings.
3.1. Construction and Maintenance of Project. The Developer hereby agrees and
commits to the City that it will diligently prosecute to completion the construction of the Project
in accordance with this Agreement, the site plan submitted to the City and all applicable federal,
State and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and plans relating to or governing the
development or use of the Project, including applicable Land Use Regulations and
Environmental Laws and Regulations. The Developer’s projected costs of the Project are shown
on Exhibit A hereto. The Developer has the financial capacity to complete the Project, and the
Developer agrees to pay all costs thereof. If there is an increase in the costs of the Project from
that shown on Exhibit A hereto that cannot be covered by the contingency amount and is greater
than 10% of the total projected development cost, the Developer shall notify the City of the
increase and submit additional evidence in a form acceptable to the City that the Developer has
the financial capacity to cover such additional costs and complete the Project. At all times
during the term of this Agreement, the Developer will operate and maintain, preserve and keep
the Project or cause the Project to be operated, maintained, preserved and kept for the purposes
for which it was constructed, and with the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof in
good repair and condition. Upon twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice, the Developer
agrees to permit the City and any of its officers, employees or agents access to the Land for the
purpose of inspection of all work being performed in connection with the Project; provided,
however, that the City shall have no obligation to inspect such work.
3.2. Preparation, Review and Approval of Construction Plans. In connection with the
Project, the Developer, at its sole expense, shall prepare and submit construction plans, drawings,
and related documents for each portion of the Project to the appropriate City officials for
architectural, engineering or land use review and written approval or permits. The Developer
acknowledges that no review or approval by City officials hereunder may be in any way
construed by the Developer to replace, override or be in lieu of any required review, inspection,
or approval by the City Planning Division or any other building construction official review or
approvals required by any State laws or local ordinances or regulations. Nothing contained in
this Agreement indicates or evidences that the City has approved or will approve the Project or
any portion thereof. This Agreement does not affect or limit the City’s regulatory powers with
regard to the Project, including, without limitation, those relating to building permits or other
permits or the payment of fees. As further described in Section 7.1, the City shall have no
liability and the Developer shall hold the City harmless with respect to any increases in costs of
the Project related to or arising out of delays resulting from the City’s regulatory actions or
approvals.
3.3. Construction of the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer shall acquire,
install, construct or otherwise provide the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer
acknowledges and agrees that the City is not responsible for acquiring, installing, constructing or
otherwise providing the Infrastructure Improvements. The estimated costs of the Infrastructure
Improvements, which form a part of the Eligible Costs, are shown on Exhibit C hereto.
218
8
3.4. Milestones of the Project. Certain steps in the development of the Project are
listed on Exhibit D attached hereto (collectively, the “Milestones”; each a “Milestone”), together
with the dates by which the Developer is obligated to complete the Milestones (collectively, the
“Milestone Dates”; each as it relates to a particular Milestone, the “Milestone Date”). The
Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City in reserving or offering to make available Tax
Increment to pay or reimburse the Developer for the Eligible Costs necessarily means that certain
Tax Increment is not available to pay or reimburse other undertakings or costs for the benefit of
the District and that the City reasonably expects additional Tax Increment as a result of
completion of the Project. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that conditioning the
availability of Tax Increment or proceeds of Bonds to pay or reimburse the Developer for the
Eligible Costs on completion or satisfaction of the Milestones by the corresponding Milestone
Dates is reasonable. If the Developer is unable to complete or satisfy a Milestone by the
corresponding Milestone Date, the Developer shall make a formal written request to the Director
of Economic Development, with appropriate supporting material, to extend the Milestone Date
and, as appropriate, subsequent Milestone Dates. The Director of Economic Development may,
in his or her sole discretion, (i) determine whether such extension is appropriate and, if so, fix a
new and superseding Milestone Date and also adjust other subsequent Milestone Dates, along
with any other terms or conditions, or (ii) refer the request to the City Commission to either
approve the extension and adjust other Milestone Dates, as appropriate, or, in its sole discretion,
terminate this Agreement, in which case the City will have no obligation to reimburse or pay the
Developer hereunder.
3.5. Prevailing Wage Rates; Competitive Bidding. The Developer understands that
the City is obligated to follow certain laws with respect to the expenditure of public funds, which
includes Tax Increment. The Developer agrees to comply with laws that govern City contracting
obligations, including public procurement laws relating to all of the Infrastructure Improvements,
such as, without limitation, laws and rules regarding prevailing wage and solicitation of work on
a competitive basis.
Without limitation of the foregoing, the Developer agrees that in the awarding of
contracts for the Infrastructure Improvements (i) it will, and it will cause its contractor to,
competitively bid contracts for each component of the Infrastructure Improvements, and (ii)
through its contract with its contractor, it will, in addition to the requirements of Sections 3.9 and
3.10, require its contractor to, pay the Prevailing Wage Rates on such contracts related to the
Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer will provide to the City all documentation
requested to verify the compliance of the Developer and its contractor with the foregoing
requirements. Failure of the Developer or its contractor to competitively bid contracts for each
component of the Infrastructure Improvements or to require contracts entered into directly with
contractors or sub-contractors to include provisions requiring the contractor or sub-contractor to
pay the Prevailing Wage Rates on the work related to the Infrastructure Improvements will be
considered a breach of this Agreement and the City will be entitled, at its discretion and without
obligation, to exercise any and all measures to assure compliance and retroactive compensation
plus interest to workers not paid in accordance with this Agreement, and recovery of any penalty
or fine assessed by the State attributed to any failure to pay the Prevailing Wage Rates.
Additionally, the Developer acknowledges that a violation of these requirements may, in the
City’s sole discretion, cause the Infrastructure Improvements to be ineligible for the application
219
9
of Tax Increment, in which case the City will have no obligation to reimburse or pay the
Developer hereunder.
3.6. Utilities. The Developer shall not interfere with, or construct any improvements
over, any public street or utility easement without the prior written approval of the City. All
connections to public utility lines and facilities shall be subject to approval of the City and any
private utility company involved. The Developer at its own expense shall replace any public
facilities or utilities damaged during the Project by the Developer or its agents or by others acting
on behalf of or under their direction or control of the Developer.
3.7. Permits and Compliance With Laws. The Developer will obtain, in a timely
manner, all required permits, licenses and approvals, and will meet all requirements of all local,
state and federal laws, rules and regulations which must be obtained or met in connection with
the acquisition and construction of the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Developer will request and seek to obtain from the City or
other appropriate governmental authority all necessary land use, zoning, and building permits.
The Developer will comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and Regulations
applicable to the construction, acquisition, and operation of the Project, including the
Infrastructure Improvements, will obtain any and all necessary environmental reviews, licenses
or clearances under, and will comply in all material respects with, Environmental Laws and
Regulations. In addition, the Developer shall comply fully with all applicable state and federal
laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances related to worker safety including but not limited to
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, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
3.8. Easements. To the extent that the Infrastructure Improvements are to be located
on the Land, the Developer hereby agrees to grant to the City and applicable utility companies
from time to time such easements, rights-of-way and similar licenses in a form required by the
City and as are reasonably necessary to permit the City to own, operate and maintain the
Infrastructure Improvements.
3.9. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay Affirmation. The Developer agrees to require
its contractor(s) to be in compliance with the City’s Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay
Affirmation attached hereto as Exhibit F, as well as Title 49, Montana Code Annotated,
regarding activities related to the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements. The
Developer agrees that in its contracts with its contractors the Developer’s contractor will be
required to require its subcontractors to comply with the City’s Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay
Affirmation attached hereto as Exhibit F, as well as Title 49, Montana Code Annotated,
regarding activities related to the Project. The Developer agrees to provide copies of all such
contracts upon request by the City.
3.10. Worker’s Compensation Insurance. The Developer shall provide in its
construction contracts related to the Project with all of its respective contractors that such
contractors are to be covered by a Worker’s Compensation insurance program with the State, a
private insurance carrier, or an approved self-insurance plan in accordance with State law.
220
10
3.11. Cooperation with City and DOR. The Developer agrees to provide to the City
and, as requested, the DOR information that may be required by the City and/or the DOR to
determine, or make reasonable projections regarding, the amount and timing of receipt of Tax
Increment resulting from the Project. Such information may include, but is not limited to timing
of construction and estimated completion dates of all or portions of the Project, costs of
construction, materials used in construction, uses of the Project or any portion thereof,
allocations of uses to spaces and square feet of spaces included in the Project, and any other
information that may be relevant. The Developer understands and agrees that the City will rely
on such information from the Developer in making determinations regarding the amount of Tax
Increment resulting from the Project that may be available and the timing of the availability of
Tax Increment resulting from the Project, and that such information may be a critical factor in
the City’s determination regarding whether to issue and the sizing and other features of the
Bonds.
3.12. Project Fees and Charges. The Developer reasonably expects that it will
capitalize the Project Fees and Charges (if any) into the costs of the Project, and treat such fees
and charges as capital expenditures.
Section 4. City Undertakings. Subject to satisfaction of all conditions in Section 5
below, and solely from Tax Increment on hand or proceeds of the Bonds, the City agrees to
reimburse the Developer for, or, as applicable, pay the Eligible Costs in an amount not to exceed
$3,666,396. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, (i) the actual sum of all Eligible Costs may exceed $3,666,396, but $3,666,396 is the
maximum amount that the City will reimburse the Developer for Eligible Costs; and (ii) if the
actual sum of all Eligible Costs exceeds $3,666,396, the City has discretion to allocate the
reimbursable amount among the Eligible Costs as it sees fit. To the extent any category of
Eligible Costs comes in under the amount set forth in the estimated budget attached as Exhibit C
and another category of Eligible Costs comes in over the amount set forth in the estimated
budget attached as Exhibit C, the costs to be reimbursed may be shifted from one category of
Eligible Costs to another, up to a maximum amount of $3,666,396. The City may issue the
Bonds in its sole discretion to pay or reimburse all or a portion of the Eligible Costs to be paid or
reimbursed. The Bonds, if authorized and issued, will have such terms and conditions as are
approved by the City Commission. This Agreement does not require or imply that the City has
any obligation to issue the Bonds.
Section 5. Reimbursement for the Eligible Costs. The City’s reimbursement of the
Developer for Eligible Costs shall be subject to the following conditions and in accordance with
the following procedures:
5.1. Conditions to Reimbursement.
(a) (i) The Developer must have completed or satisfied each of the Milestones by the
applicable Milestone Date, as such date may have been extended pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof,
(ii) the City must have issued a certificate of occupancy for the Project, (iii) the Infrastructure
Improvements must have been completed in their entirety and the City must have delivered to
the Developer written acceptance of the Infrastructure Improvements (which may be in the form
of a Certificate of Completion or such other format as required by the City), and (iv) the
221
11
Developer must demonstrate to the City’s satisfaction, by a title report or other means acceptable
to the City, that the Infrastructure Improvements are free of financial liens and any
encumbrances affecting the Infrastructure Improvements must be acceptable to the City.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Reimbursement by the City for costs of the Infrastructure Improvements must be
based on paid invoices for costs incurred by the Developer, its contractors and subcontractors or
utility companies, which the Developer must supply to the City. The City may reject, in its sole
discretion, any invoice related to the Infrastructure Improvements. The City will notify the
Developer of any rejected invoice and the reason it was rejected.
(d) The Parties agree that the City will have no obligation to pay or reimburse any of
the Eligible Costs unless at the time of such request (i) all of the Developer’s representations as
set forth in Section 2.2 are true and correct, (ii) the Developer is not in breach of any covenant or
undertaking as set forth in Section 3, and (iii) unless and to the extent the City issues the Bonds,
there shall be adequate Tax Increment on hand to reimburse the Developer and satisfy all other
financial obligations related to the District (including obligations related to the Series 2017 Bond
and the debt service reserve account for the Series 2017 Bond).
(e) If some or all of the Eligible Costs are to be paid with the proceeds of the Bonds,
the City shall have determined, in its sole discretion, but with the cooperation of the Developer,
that the Tax Increment is sufficient to pay the debt service on the Bonds as and when due and, as
applicable, to satisfy other requirements under the Bond Resolution, such as funding an adequate
reserve, meeting applicable debt service coverage requirements, and paying costs of issuance,
and to satisfy all other financial obligations related to the District. The Developer understands
and agrees the City shall have no obligation to and may not issue the Bonds if the City is unable
to find and determine that the Tax Increment is sufficient to pay the Bonds timely, to satisfy the
requirements of the Bond Resolution, and to satisfy all other financial obligations related to the
District.
If any of the above conditions are not satisfied in the determination of the City, the City
shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse any of the Eligible Costs and the City’s
determination to refrain from paying or reimbursing, or its inability to pay or reimburse, any of
the Eligible Costs shall not be or result in a default of this Agreement.
5.2. Process for Payment or Reimbursement; Developer Option to Terminate. Subject
to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 5.2, the process for payment or reimbursement
of the Developer is as follows:
(a) By the date that is 90 days before the date the Developer estimates the Project will
be first placed in service (which may occur prior to the applicable Milestone Date for such
Milestone set forth in Exhibit A), the Developer shall notify the City in writing of the
components of the Project remaining to be completed before it expects the City will issue the
certificate of occupancy for the Project. The Developer shall provide a further update to the City
when it reasonably expects that the Project will be placed in service in roughly 30 days.
222
12
(b) After receiving a certificate of occupancy for the Project, the Developer shall
provide to the City a signed request for reimbursement substantially in a form attached as Exhibit
E hereto and acceptable to the City, accompanied by the invoices and lien waivers from the
contractors or subcontractors performing or that have performed the work to be reimbursed. In
addition, the Developer agrees to provide to the City any additional information requested by the
City for the City to determine whether the Developer’s request for reimbursement complies with
this Agreement.
(c) The parties acknowledge that the City expects to issue the Bonds to reimburse the
Developer, and that the full taxable value of the Project will be necessary to support the issuance
of the Bonds in an amount sufficient to reimburse the Developer for the Eligible Costs in an
amount not to exceed $3,666,396. Following receipt by the City of the Developer’s request for
reimbursement, the City will make good faith efforts to sell the Bonds, and the parties
acknowledge that selling the Bonds may require receipt by the City of certified taxable values for
the District that include the full taxable value of the completed Project. The Developer
acknowledges that the District has outstanding obligations related to other projects that are
payable from Tax Increment, in addition to those requirements relating to the Series 2017 Bond
under the Original Resolution. If the City determines that the Tax Increment is not sufficient to
reimburse the Developer in the amount of $3,666,396, the City will notify the Developer in
writing, and will notify the Developer of the principal amount of Bonds that the City expects to
be able to issue and the amount that the Developer would be reimbursed from such issuance.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the City’s intention is to reimburse the Developer for
Eligible Costs in an amount not to exceed $3,666,396, or, if reimbursing the Developer in the
amount of $3,666,396 is not reasonably possible, to reimburse the Developer in such lesser
amount as the City determines, in its sole discretion, is reasonably possible (taking into account
the requirements of the Original Resolution and the other Tax Increment obligations of the
District). If for any reason the Bonds are not marketable, including in a lesser amount, the City
shall inform the Developer in writing and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and neither
Party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as set forth in those provisions
that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
(d) Alternatively, the Developer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to
the City at any time prior to providing the City with a signed request for reimbursement as
described under Section 5.2(b) above.
Section 6. Sources of Repayment; Covenants to Pay Taxes.
6.1. Taxes. The Developer shall pay or cause to be paid when due and prior to the
imposition of penalty all Taxes and all installments of any special assessments payable with
respect to the Land and the Project and any improvements thereto or extension thereof.
6.2. Maintenance of Land and Project. The Developer agrees to use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to maintain and operate the Land and the Project so as to be able at all
times to pay promptly and when due all property taxes levied with respect to the Land and the
Project; provided that, once accepted by the City, the Infrastructure Improvements shall be
maintained by the City.
223
13
6.3. Injunction; Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, in the event of a breach
of this Section 6 by the Developer or its successors or assigns, the City would suffer irreparable
harm. Therefore, in the event the Developer or its successors or assigns fails to comply with the
provisions of this Section 6, the Developer agrees that the City may pursue any remedy at law or
in equity, including the remedies of injunction and specific performance.
Section 7. Indemnification and Insurance.
7.1. Indemnification. The Developer releases the City and all City Commission
members, board members, officers, agents, servants and employees of the City (the “Indemnified
Parties”) from, and covenants and agrees that the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for, and
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against, any loss, damage,
cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claim, demand, suit, action or other proceeding
whatsoever (i) arising or purportedly arising out of, or resulting or purportedly resulting from,
the acquisition and construction of the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements, any
violation by the Developer of any agreement, condition or covenant of this Agreement, the
ownership, maintenance and operation of the Project, or the presence on any portion of the Land,
of any dangerous, toxic or hazardous pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, waste, materials or
substances; or (ii) which is proximately caused by the Developer or its officers, agents,
contractors, consultants or employees.
7.2. Insurance. Developer shall keep and maintain the Project at all times insured
against such risks and in such amounts, with such deductible provisions, as are customary in
connection with facilities of the type and size comparable to the Project, and the Developer shall
carry and maintain, or cause to be carried and maintained, and pay or cause to be paid timely the
premiums for direct damage insurance covering all risks of loss, including, but not limited to, the
following:
1. fire
2. extended coverage perils
3. vandalism and malicious mischief
4. boiler explosion (but only if steam boilers are present)
5. collapse
on a replacement cost basis in an amount equivalent to the Full Insurable Value thereof. “Full
Insurable Value” shall include the actual replacement cost of the Project, exclusive of
foundations and footings, without deduction for architectural, engineering, legal or
administrative fees or for depreciation. The policies required by this Section 7.2 shall be subject
to a no coinsurance clause or contain an agreed amount clause, and must contain a deductibility
provision not exceeding $100,000.
Subject to the terms of any mortgage relating to the Project, policies of insurance
required by this Section 7.2 shall insure and be payable to Developer, and shall provide for
release of insurance proceeds to Developer for restoration of loss. The City shall be furnished
certificates showing the existence of such insurance. In case of loss, Developer is hereby
authorized to adjust the loss and execute proof thereof in the name of all parties in interest.
224
14
During construction of the Project, any and all of the foregoing insurance policies may be
maintained by the Developer’s contractor; provided that once the Project is placed into service,
Developer shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance policies. In addition, as a condition to
placing the Project in service, the City may require that the Developer or owner of the Project
obtain additional insurance that would protect the City or the City’s interest in the Infrastructure
Improvements.
In addition to and independent of the above, the Developer shall at the Developer’s
expense secure liability insurance through an insurance company or companies duly licensed and
authorized to conduct insurance business in Montana. The insurance shall not contain any
exclusion for liabilities specifically assumed by the Developer in this Section. The insurance
shall 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 in relation to construction of
the Project and the Infrastructure Improvements without limit and without regard to the cause
therefore. The Developer must furnish to the City an accompanying certificate of insurance and
accompanying endorsements in amounts not less than as follows:
Commercial General Liability - $1,000,000 per occurrence; $2,000,000 annual
aggregate
The above amounts shall be exclusive of defense costs. The City, its officers, agents, and
employees, shall be endorsed as an additional or named insured on a primary non-contributory
basis on the Commercial General Liability policy. The insurance and required endorsements
must be in a form suitable to City and shall include no less than a thirty (30) day notice of
cancellation or non-renewal. The City must approve all insurance coverage and endorsements
prior to the Developer commencing work on Project or Infrastructure Improvements. Developer
must notify the City within two (2) business days of Developer’s receipt of notice that any
required insurance coverage will be terminated or Developer’s decision to terminate any required
insurance coverage for any reason.
Section 8. General Provisions.
8.1. Conflicts of Interest; City’s Representatives Not Individually Liable. The
Developer represents that it does not employ, retain, or contract with an officer or employee of
the City and that no member, officer or employee of the City has a personal or financial interest,
direct or indirect, in this Agreement or in the Project, or a financial interest in the Infrastructure
Improvements. No member, officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to
Developer in the event of any default under or breach of this Agreement by the City, or for any
amount that may become due to Developer for any obligation issued under or arising from the
terms of this Agreement.
8.2. Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties of this Agreement,
whether provided by law or by this Agreement, shall be cumulative, and the exercise by any
Party hereto of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise by such Party,
at the same or different times, of any other remedy for the same default or breach or of any of its
remedies for any other default or breach of the Party subject to the limitation of remedies
provided herein. No waiver made by such Party with respect to the performance or the manner
225
15
or time thereof, of any obligation under this Agreement, shall be considered a waiver with
respect to the particular obligation of the other Party or a condition to its own obligation beyond
those expressly waived in writing and to the extent thereof, or a waiver in any respect in regard
to any other rights of the Party making the waiver of any obligations of the other Party. Delay by
a Party hereto instituting or prosecuting any cause of action or claim hereunder shall not be
deemed a waiver of any rights hereunder.
8.3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the date that it
terminates or is terminated by the City, as follows:
(a) If payment or reimbursement of Eligible Costs is made directly from Tax
Increment and not proceeds of Bonds, this Agreement will terminate on the date that is 10 days
after the date the City makes the final payment or reimbursement of Eligible Costs to the
Developer hereunder.
(b) If the City issues Bonds, this Agreement will remain in effect until the final
maturity or payment date of the Bonds or such earlier date that the Bonds are prepaid in full,
discharged, and no longer outstanding.
(c) This Agreement may be terminated by the City in its sole discretion on a date
earlier than described in (a) or (b) above at any time after failure by the Developer to complete or
satisfy a Milestone by the applicable Milestone Payment Date.
(d) If the City has determined Tax Increment is insufficient under Section 5.2(c)
above, this Agreement shall terminate in the manner and on the date described in Section 5.2(c)
above.
(e) Prior to submitting a request for reimbursement, the Developer may terminate this
Agreement in the manner described in Section 5.2(d) above.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Sections 6, 7, and 8 of
this Agreement shall in all events survive the termination of this Agreement.
8.4. Limitation on City Liability. No agreements or provisions contained in this
Agreement nor any agreement, covenant or undertaking by the City contained in any document
in connection with the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements, or the Eligible Costs
shall give rise to any pecuniary liability of the City or a charge against its general credit or taxing
powers, or shall obligate the City financially in any way except with respect to then-available
Tax Increment. No failure of the City to comply with any term, condition, covenant or
agreement herein shall subject the City to liability for any claim for damages, costs or other
financial or pecuniary charge except to the extent that the same can be paid or recovered from
then-available Tax Increment; and no execution on any claim, demand, cause of action or
judgment shall be levied upon or collected from the general credit, general funds or taxing
powers of the City (except as such constitute then-available Tax Increment). Nothing herein
shall preclude a proper party in interest from seeking and obtaining specific performance against
the City for any failure to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement herein;
provided that no costs, expenses or other monetary relief shall be recoverable from the City
226
16
except as may be payable from the Tax Increment. This Agreement shall not constitute or be
construed to give rise to a debt of the City.
8.5. Assignment. This Agreement is unique between the City and Developer and no
Party may assign any rights or privileges, or delegate any duties or obligations under this
Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Developer may assign this Agreement and its rights and responsibilities hereunder
to a special purpose entity formed by the Developer to own the Project. Developer shall provide
notice of any assignment to the City.
8.6. Successors Bound By Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary; No Property
Interest. Subject to compliance with Section 8.5, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors in interest and
permitted assignees. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the Parties, does not
constitute a third-party beneficiary agreement, and may not be relied upon or enforced by a third
party. This Agreement, by itself, does not create or give rise to a property interest in the Land or
the Project.
8.7. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes, merges and voids any and all
prior discussions, negotiations, agreements and undertakings between the Parties with respect to
the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties waive and release each other from any claims,
actions, or causes of action that relate in any manner to any prior discussions, negotiations,
agreements and undertakings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
8.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any exhibits and attachments
hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to its subject
matter. All Parties shall be prohibited from offering into evidence in any arbitration or civil
action any terms, conditions, understandings, warranties, statements or representations, whether
oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and that are not contained in
this Agreement.
8.9. Amendments, Changes and Modifications. This Agreement may be amended and
any of its terms may be modified only by written amendment authorized and signed by the
Parties hereto.
8.10. Headings. The headings of articles and sections in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only and do not limit or amplify the terms and provisions of the
Agreement in any manner. The headings will be ignored and will not affect the construction of
any provisions of this Agreement.
8.11. Notice. Any formal notice, demand or communication required or permitted by
the terms of this Agreement to be given to the City or Developer will be in writing and will be
delivered to such Party either: (i) by personal hand-delivery; or (ii) by depositing the same in the
United States mail, certified mail with return receipt requested, addressed to such Party at the
address named below, with postage prepaid thereon. Notice will be deemed complete upon
receipt of the notice pursuant to any of the foregoing methods of notice.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Kellen Gamradt, Engineer II
Nicholas Ross, Director of Transportation and Engineering
SUBJECT:Conduct a Public Hearing and Having Considered Public Testimony, Move to
Approve a Commission Resolution to Order the Installation of Sidewalks in
Portions of Valley West Subdivision, Phase 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and in Portions The
Lakes at Valley West Subdivision, Phase 3
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Consider the Motion: Having conducted a public hearing and considered
written and spoken public testimony, I hereby move to approve the
Commission Resolution to Order the Installation of Sidewalks in Portions of
Valley West Subdivision, Phase 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and in Portions The Lakes at
Valley West Subdivision, Phase 3.
STRATEGIC PLAN:3.1 Public Safety: Support high quality public safety programs, emergency
preparedness, facilities, and leadership.
BACKGROUND:The City has received calls from the Home Owners Associations of the above-
mentioned Subdivisions requesting that the city take the necessary actions
to complete the installation of missing sections of sidewalk along streets in
these neighborhoods. Bozeman Municipal Code section 34.04.50 and the
Montana Code Annotated Chapter 7-14-4109 allows the city commission to
order the installation of sidewalks through resolution and without formation
of a special improvements district. In addition, a note on the recorded plats
for each of these subdivisions state that property owners shall construct
sidewalks for their lots upon the third anniversary of the recordation of the
plat. More than three years has passed since these plats have been
recorded. The attached resolution of intent and notice to residents will start
the required sidewalk installation process.
In Valley West Subdivision – Phase 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D: five lots currently do
not have sidewalks. In the Lakes at Valley West Subdivision Phase 3: one lot
currently does not have sidewalk. On June 10th a Resolution of Intent was
passed by the City Commission, indicating that it is the City’s intention to
order the installation of sidewalks along certain streets as specified in the
resolution, and to authorize that notice is given to affected property owners.
The attached commission resolution will order that these sidewalk be
installed as specified in the Resolution.
239
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None
ALTERNATIVES:As Suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:The engineer’s estimate for the cost of sidewalk installation is $20 per
square foot. The total area of sidewalk to be installed is 3,380 square feet.
The total cost of the work is estimated at $67,600.
The cost of sidewalk installations would be borne by the adjoining property
owners. If sidewalk installations need to be completed by a city contractor,
staff time will be needed for contract administration and subsequent billing
activities.

you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and
thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to
these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the ‘I agree’ button at the
bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign ‘Withdraw Consent’ form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager
Erin George, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Approval of Public Engagement Plan for the Bozeman Community Plan
Technical Compliance Update
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Plan/Report/Study
RECOMMENDATION:Consider the Motion: I move to approve the proposed Engagement Plan for
the Bozeman Community Plan Technical Compliance Update.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.2 High Quality Urban Approach: Continue to support high-quality planning,
ranging from building design to neighborhood layouts, while pursuing urban
approaches to issues such as multimodal transportation, infill, density,
connected trails and parks, and walkable neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND:The City of Bozeman has authority to conduct land use planning within the
authority and parameters established by the state legislature. In 2023, the
Legislature adopted Title 76, Chapter 25, MCA, [external link] the Montana
Land Use Planning Act (MLUPA). This new act replaces the prior planning
enabling legislation. Attached is the new law section that describes
requirements for public engagement.
The City is required to update its land use plan and implementing regulations
to comply with the new law. The new law requires inclusion of a wide range
of data on many topics. Much of this information exists in already adopted
city plans or from others such as School District 7 and the Montana State
Library. The new law explicitly authorizes reliance on these existing sources.
Preparation of a full update for a land use plan takes 2-3 years. The state has
established a deadline for the City to complete its initial compliance to
MLUPA by May 17, 2026. Compliance requires an update to the land use
plan and adoption of implementing regulations by the due date.
Due to the constrained time frame it is necessary to undertake a technical
compliance update to revise plan wording to update statutory references
and update data to include required new data. During the consideration of
the Supplemental Engagement for the UDC last fall the Commission
considered the limitations of schedule and concurred with this limited topic
update approach. This approach has been described in various public
261
engagement events over the winter and spring.
One required element of the new law is that the City Commission approve a
public engagement plan prior to beginning the process to update the plan.
This action item meets that requirement. The public engagement plan is a
baseline commitment and does not prevent the City from using other
methods not listed in the plan. The plan sets out an anticipated schedule of
activities from beginning to end of the project. It does not specify the details
of outcomes or what members of the community choose to comment on.
The Community Development Board reviewed the draft document on July 7,
2025. After review, they recommended approval of the plan with
clarifications and additional specificity in description of the project. The
attached draft includes revisions to the text responding to the Board's
recommendation.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:As identified by City Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:As identified by City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Funds for the project have previously been budgeted.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN
Community Engagement is an inclusive and ongoing process that relies on the two-way exchange of
information, ideas, and expertise between the public and the City of Bozeman to solve problems and
make sustainable decisions.
Project Overview
Project Title: Bozeman Community Plan Technical Compliance Update - 2025
Project Leads:
• Chris Saunders, project manager – Scheduling, document preparation, public presentations
• Tom Roger, project member – Research, document preparation, public presentations
• Erin George, Department Director
C.E. Purpose/Background:
The City of Bozeman conducts land use planning and regulations as authorized by the State of Montana
in Title 76, MCA. The State revised the requirements for local land use planning with the adoption of the
Montana Land Use Planning Act (MLUPA) in Title 76, Chapter 25, MCA. This new act replaces all prior
planning enabling legislation for the City of Bozeman. The City is required to update its land use plan
(formerly called a growth policy) and implementing zoning and subdivision regulations to comply with
the new law. The state set a legal deadline to complete the work by May 17, 2026. The project needs to
be completed in time to also adopt implementing regulations (the UDC update) by the same deadline.
Additional information beyond that required for growth policies must be included in the land use plan
and public engagement must be completed. The new law requires inclusion of a wide range of data on
many topics. Much of this information exists in already adopted city plans, or from others such as School
District 7 and the Montana State Library. The new law explicitly authorizes reliance on these existing
sources.
Preparation of a full update for a land use plan typically takes 2-3 years. Due to the constrained time
frame with the May 17, 2026 MLUPA compliance deadline, it is necessary to undertake a limited
“technical compliance” update to revise plan wording to update statutory references and update
information to include required new data. The City Commission considered the restricted time element
in their consideration of the supplemental engagement plan and schedule for the UDC update last fall
and concurred with this approach.
One required element of the new law is that the City Commission approve a public engagement plan
prior to beginning the process to update the plan. This public engagement process will enable the public
to:
• See how the city has addressed the state required materials and be able to access that
information;
• Offer comments on whether additional information should be included to address required
topics;
• Review the revised draft land use plan incorporating the new state law requirements; and
263
Page 2 of 7
• Offer input on when a more comprehensive review of the land use plan should be completed.
The required information to be addressed by a land use plan is very broad in scope. Many topic areas
are already the subject of specific plans, reports, or other resources of which the public may not be
aware.
Key Terms:
• Enabling acts – the state laws that authorize the City to regulate development and use of land.
• Land Use Plan – the document required in Title 76, Chapter 25 MCA and containing all necessary
data directly or by reference to issue plans and supporting information.
• Future Land Use Map (FLUM) – A map showing at a low level of detail the existing and expected
future pattern of land uses (e.g. residential or commercial) for the defined planning area.
• Planning Commission – the state required advisory body to review and recommend on the
adoption of the land use plan to the City Commission. The City of Bozeman Community
Development Board is the designated planning commission for Bozeman.
• Public comment – any opportunity in writing or orally to contribute to the decision-making
process.
• Public hearing – a formal agenda action meeting state law requirements for public participation
making prior to a final decision.
• Montana Land Use Planning Act (MLUPA) – Title 76, Chapter 25 of Montana Code Annotated.
The state law that sets requirements for planning, zoning, and subdivision in MT.

Defined Decision Making
Decision making is at the core of how we plan for community engagement. Clarity on what decision will
be made, who will make them, and what information will be considered throughout the process is
essential. Many decisions are made throughout a given City project. Project teams consider which
decisions are already made, and which decisions can be made more able to be sustained over time by
engaging the community. Which decisions the public will contribute to specifically must be clarified at the
outset of the engagement planning process. Next, the public must be equipped with the right information
and tools to contribute to a given decision. The following describes this process:
264
Page 3 of 7
1. At what stage(s) in the decision-making process is the public being asked to participate (see
graphic above)?
The state has primarily identified the required subject matter and type of information to be
provided, determined the required content to be included, and established decision criteria..
The city’s intention is to rely on existing documentation that has been publicly reviewed already,
when applicable, to avoid duplication and maintain consistency. Not all data is assembled or
controlled by the City. That information, such as enrollment data for schools, will be made
available through the process but cannot be edited by the City.
Decision criteria have been established by state law. Direction to date for this project from the
City Commission is to complete technical compliance with revised statute. This will involve some
modification and updating to the text of the Bozeman Community Plan 2020 to address revised
state law requirements for land use plan content but probably not material changes to the
future land use map. Public will be able to participate in determination and comparisons of
alternative text during review of the draft document.
Public engagement will occur through information sessions and public hearings before
Community Development Board and City Commission. A variety of outreach tools will be used to
make the community aware of the project so they can participate.
2. What decision(s) needs to be made? What decisions have already been made?
See description in question #1 above. Many decisions on content are already set by state.
Primary decision is whether the collected information presented through the land use plan
meets the requirements of state law for a land use plan. Secondary decisions are whether to
change proposed wording and to what degree.
3. Who is the final decision maker? Does this engagement plan require formal Commission
approval?
265
Page 4 of 7
The Community Development Board must provide a recommendation to the City Commission.
The final decision to adopt the land use plan text and map and with what content is made by the
City Commission. Decision action is memorialized by the approval of the Resolution adopting the
document.
This engagement plan must be approved by the City Commission.
4. Who will be most impacted by this decision/project/policy?
a. Who may benefit, who may be burdended?
i. Staff, advisory boards, and commission will be benefitted with an updated and legally
sound land use plan to administer that conforms to state requirements.
ii. Design and development community will benefit with a reliable and legally sound land
use plan to implement.
iii. Broad community benefit will come from a legally compliant land use plan upon
which to base implementing regulations, provide a single consolidated source of data on
a wide range of topics, and removal of outdated procedural information that could lead
to misunderstanding.
b. What are the potential unintended consequences?
i. Due to restricted time availability the update is focused on technical compliance with
the enabling act, Title 76, Chapter 25 MCA. A follow up review may be desired by
elected officials to further explore non-technical compliance topics. A full plan update
usually takes 2-3 years and the time and financial commitment impacts the City’s ability
to pursue other priorities.
c. How will people be better off as a result of this decision/project/policy?
i. Compliance with enabling acts will continue the City’s state authorization to apply
zoning and subdivision regulations to address subjects of concern for the community.
5. What is the timeline for this decision/project/policy?
a. Public engagement process begins in July with completion by a Resolution of adoption of
updated plan document by end of November 2025. Final completion is at the discretion of the
City Commission so long as the May 2026 deadline is met.
6. What are the communication and engagement resources available?
a. City staff in Community Development and the City Manager’s Office will help identify key
partners, review and disseminate key messages, information, documents, and opportunities to
engage.
b. The Engage Bozeman website will provide an electronic means to access documents, notices,
and other related materials. Electronic access is a requirement of state law.
266
Page 5 of 7
c. Laserfiche and the comments@bozeman.net email provide an electronic method to submit
written comments and have them collected and archived for review throughout the process.
Laserfiche provides an archive of agendas, minutes, and packet materials. Ability to submit
comments electronically is a requirement of state law.
d. The City livestreams advisory board and City Commission meetings and makes a recording of
each meeting available through the City’s website. This allows for later review at their
convenience by members of the public or public officials and provides an exact record of oral
comments by the public and discussion of items by the officials.
e. Public hearings provide a method for the public to provide input and hear the discussion
regarding the document and any proposed actions.
f. Social and Website news postings on City’s website
Level of Community Engagement: Inform and Consult.
After there is clarity on the decision and how the public will participate in the decision-making process,
the level of engagement is determined. The engagement spectrum outlines different levels of
engagement and helps determine how the community will contribute to the process and what the
expectations are for achieving a given level of engagement. Throughout any level of engagement, one-
way communications will occur to provide the community with the resources and information they need
to contribute effectively.
267
Page 6 of 7
The state has determined minimum content and process requirements as described on page 1. This,
coupled with the state required deadline to complete the process, limits more extensive community
engagement. Substantial community input on many topics relevant to the land use plan has already
been gathered and documented as part of the update of the Unified Development Code.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Jon Henderson, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT:A Resolution Establishing Intent to Negotiate a Land Exchange with
NorthWestern Energy in the City's Lower Yards Property
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Consider the Motion: I move to Adopt a Resolution Establishing Intent to
Negotiate a Land Exchange with NorthWestern Energy in the City's Lower
Yards Property.
STRATEGIC PLAN:4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices: Prioritize long-term investment and
maintenance for existing and new infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:NorthWestern Energy (NWE) is upgrading its gas transmission facility
(Bozeman City Gate #1) that is located on the southeast corner of the
intersection of Rouse Avenue and Griffin Drive (1812 N. Rouse Ave.). The
upgrades call for expansion of Gate Station No. 1, which adjoins the Lower
Yards property and fronts North Rouse Avenue. To accommodate this
expansion, NWE proposes to acquire a small tract of land from the city,
approximately 0.210 acres (9,147.6 square feet) in area, in exchange for a
small tract of land from NWE, approximately 0.169 acres (7,361.64 feet) in
area. The new tract of land will contain an above-ground valve assembly
and inspection/maintenance port, known familiarly as a "pig launcher".
Chapter 2, Article 8, Division 1, Bozeman Municipal Code regulates the sale
of city property. In addition, Section 2.11 of the City Charter requires the
City Commission to act by ordinance to convey city property.
Staff has had numerous meetings regarding this proposal. We believe the
NWE pipeline expansion is consistent with furthering the public interest and
find the land proposed for acquisition is not necessary for the conduct of city
business.
The property which the city will acquire from NWE, in addition to relocating
a portion of the pipeline currently traversing city property, will result in a
significant opportunity to redevelop the property for the purposes of
supporting city public works operations. Thus, the land exchange is in
furtherance of the public interest as it provides the city a meaningful way to
redevelop its property, that does not currently exist.
272
A letter from NWE further detailing their proposal is attached to this
memorandum (Attachment A), along with a map exhibit depicting the
proposed land exchange (Attachment B). A preliminary certificate of survey
(COS) is also attached (Attachment C). Staff requests that the Commission
consider the general size and location of the highlighted areas depicted on
the COS in their declaratory finding with the understanding that the exact
boundary of these areas is subject to minor modification upon finalization of
the proposed sale and transfer.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:If the Commission votes in the affirmative to declare the proposed land area
unnecessary for the conduct of city business and consistent with furthering
the public interest (according to Chapter 2, Article 8, Division 1, BMC), the
following items will be completed:
Complete a land appraisal to determine the monetary value of new
parcel areas. NWE and COB to mutually agree on appraiser with NWE
covering the expense of appraisal services. Administrative Staff
Action;
Prepare a preliminary certificate of survey for review/approval by city
staff. NWE covers land surveying expense. The purpose of the survey
is to create a utility site, which is exempt from review as a subdivision.
Administrative Staff Action;
Provisionally adopt an ordinance, that once effective, authorizes the
City Manager to execute an Exchange Agreement with NWE. City staff
will prepare the ordinance which, by reference, will include the
specific terms of the exchange. City Commission Action;
Finalize certificate of survey and record at Gallatin County Clerk &
Recorder. NWE covers land surveying expense. Administrative Staff
Action;
Prepare a deed to transfer title of new parcels. Acquire monetary
compensation from NWE per the certified appraised value of the land.
Record the deed at the Gallatin County Clerk & Recorder on, or after,
the effective date of the ordinance authorizing the Exchange
Agreement execution. NWE to cover deed expenses. Administrative
Staff Action;
Submit a preliminary sketch plan/certificate of appropriateness
application for review/approval to address zoning regulations. The
site is currently zoned M-1 and a utility site of this nature is a principal
permitted use within the M-1 district. NWE responsible for making
application and covering expenses. Administrative Staff Action;
NWE constructs project.
ALTERNATIVES:As directed by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:Monetary compensation will be received from NWE at a value determined
by certified appraisal of the property. All expenses covered by NWE.

Jamie Grabinski, Grants Coordinator
SUBJECT: Second Public Meeting Considering the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) FY 2025 Annual Action Plan
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action Item
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) FY 2025 Annual Action Plan.
MOTION LANGUAGE:
I move to approve the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) FY 2025 Annual Action
Plan.
Background:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the CDBG
Annual Action Plan to be presented and acted upon at two public meetings with a 30-day public
comment period between the two required meetings. On June 4, 2025, staff presented the
CDBG second-year action plan to the Economic Vitality Board, which took action on the plan
and made a recommendation to the Bozeman City Commission. The CDBG Annual Action Plan
comment period was noticed in the local paper of record, The Bozeman Daily Chronicle, on June
14, June 21, June 28, July 5, and July 12, 2025. The 30-day public comment period was open
from June 14 to July 14, 2025. August 16, 2025, is the HUD deadline for submittal of the
approved action plan.
At their June 4, 2025, meeting, the Economic Vitality Board made the following
recommendation to the City Commission: 00:59:23 Motion to approve [Sara Savage] I move to
recommend approval of the CDBG FY25 Annual Action Plan to the City Commission with
increased prioritization of funding and resources to emergency and transitional housing relative
to increasing and preserving housing options and consider the eligibility of administration
284
2 | P a g e
dollars to support all three categories (emergency/transitional housing, critical community
services, and increasing/preserving housing options). Nathan Stein seconded the motion.
The motion carried 6 – 0. Sara Savage, Craig Ogilvie, Mona Schwartz, Malory Peterson,
Albert Jones, and Nathan Stein voted in favor of the motion. Board Chair Danielle Rogers was
absent. Link to the Economic Vitality Board Public Meeting:
https://bozeman.granicus.com/player/clip/b7a07a33-eea5-4099-902e-
a2fa1123cbde?meta_id=c8bdf074-a7b6-468e-a11d-e0fe017e8b1c&redirect=true
This year’s plan anticipates rolling forward the funding categories and priorities from
last year’s Action Plan and the Consolidated Plan.
Key Updates
The transitional housing RFP previously discussed will use only General Fund dollars.
HUD’s federal restrictions made it difficult for providers to meet eligibility requirements.
We do have a novel proposed use for the CDBG emergency and transitional housing for
the Family Promise family transitional housing project, which will include eight
additional transitional housing units (housing approximately an additional 32
individuals, including families) that cannot currently be used due to limited sewer
capacity issues in the facility. We’re working with property owners and others to extend
sewer service to the Family Promise site through a potential annexation or provision of
services agreement with Genesis Business Park. This particular project directly advances
our transitional housing goals and positions us to meet HUD’s requirement to spend at
least half of our Year 1 allocation by September 30, 2026.
Minimal program planning and administration funds have been spent to date, largely
due to the complexity of aligning federal requirements with local housing needs.
Additionally, uncertainty on federal funding allocations also creates uncertainty in
planning for project funding. Consequently, we must move forward with a viable plan
this year.
Looking ahead:
We are recruiting a Community Housing Manager who will assume a leadership
role in the organization and community on housing issues and will:
In support of the Legal Department, evaluate the details of an eviction
prevention/tenant right to counsel program as a CDBG-eligible activity;
Finalize our Citizen Participation Plan, which defines when a plan
amendment is required;
Prepare future Action Plans, CAPERs, and support an amendment to the
Consolidated Plan, if needed, later this year or early next year;
Support the ongoing for-sale affordable housing project at Oak and Fowler;
Draft a Transitional Housing RFP/Program; and
Assume the additional duties and responsibilities of the Housing Manager, in
addition to the CDBG program, including but not limited to stewardship of all
affordable units, update to the Affordable Housing Ordinance with a “for-
285
3 | P a g e
sale” provision, represent the City on the Regional Housing Coalition and
other local , state and federal housing related work.
Below is a table identifying the second-year funding allocation. Currently, we are unable
to shift funds between categories, approved in the year 1 action plan and the overarching
Consolidated Plan (5 yr. plan), as doing so will likely require public engagement under a process
we have not yet formally defined. The strategy we are proposing with this second-year Action
Plan intends to keep identified projects moving forward, meet federal requirements, and set
the stage for strategic updates once additional staff capacity is in place.
Additionally, this plan incorporates eviction prevention and tenant right to counsel as an
eligible public service activity—using part of the 15% of CDBG funds allowed for public services.
Implementation and Monitoring
The City’s Economic Development and Finance Departments will monitor project
outcomes and compliance with HUD regulations. Regular reports will track progress on indicators
such as persons housed, services delivered, and funds obligated. Staff will also work closely with
funded organizations to ensure effectiveness and accountability.
Conclusion
Bozeman’s FY2025 CDBG Action Plan reflects a thoughtful and strategic allocation of limited
federal resources toward the City’s most pressing needs—emergency housing and essential
services. These investments will:
Strengthen housing stability for vulnerable individuals and families.
Support community resilience through accessible services.
Ensure continued compliance and readiness for future funding opportunities.

1. Introduction
This is the City of Bozeman's CDBG program year 2 action plan that provides the vision, goals, and plan
for allocating federal housing and community development funds granted to the City by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG funds must benefit low to moderate
income households.
The HUD block grant funds covered by this plan include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
entitlement funds only. CDBG primarily funds community and economic development activities. Broadly,
some CDBG eligible activities include building and rehabilitating community centers and nonprofit
facilities, improving public infrastructure such as sidewalks, lighting, water and sewer, and roads,
supporting skill development and job acquisition for workers, and providing direct services such as
housing counseling to eligible individuals. CDBG funds can be used for some housing activities including
home rehabilitation, accessibility improvements to accommodate persons living with disabilities, and
down payment assistance for homebuying – as well as emergency and disaster response assistance.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
This section summarizes how the City of Bozeman coordinates with housing providers, other relevant
government departments and agencies, including the state Continuum of Care, and reviews how the
City consulted with stakeholders during the development of the Consolidated Plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City works with the Regional Housing Coalition (a Coalition of housing providers, developers, the
business community, and local government) to inform and shape priorities and strategies to address
housing needs. The Regional Housing Coalition hosts a subcommittee called the Unhoused to Housed
Initiative (a committee with representation from homeless service providers and City and County
officials and personnel) that assesses service gaps and develops regional strategies and priorities to
address homelessness. The City works with the Gallatin Behavioral Health Coalition (a Coalition of
healthcare and service providers and local governments) to identify gaps and implement strategies to
address mental health service needs across the community.
The City of Bozeman and Gallatin County do not have a public housing authority. The Human Resource
Development Council of District IX, Inc. (HRDC) has acted as a public housing authority for the City and
County since 1995.
HRDC is a Certified Housing Development Organization, Community Development Corporation, and
Community Action Agency. HRDC develops, preserves, owns, and manages affordable housing, ranging
from multi-family properties with HUD subsidies to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit developments to
single and multi-family community land trust homes. HRDC also provides housing services ranging from
emergency shelter to transitional housing to rental assistance to homebuyer education and down
payment assistance. HRDC also administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program as a field
agent for the State of Montana.
The City of Bozeman, Gallatin County and HRDC work closely to ensure coordination across public and
private housing and service organizations.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
292
Annual Action Plan
2025

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The Montana Continuum of Care Coalition (MTCoC) is responsible for local, regional, and statewide
coordination of housing and services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The MTCoC
does not provide direct assistance with housing or support services. They work with local service
providers across Montana to help individuals, families, and youth experiencing homelessness. HRDC acts
as the MTCoC Local Coordinator. Pathways MISI is a not-for-profit partnership that supports the success
of HRDC’s Continua of Care. Pathways offers planning, data, and consulting services that help HRDC plan
for growth and comply with HUD, HMIS, HIPPA and other applicable regulations.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
City of Bozeman collaborates with HRDC, which manages our region’s CoC services. The Regional
Housing Coalition hosts a subcommittee called the Unhoused to Housed Initiative (a committee with
representation from homeless service providers and City and County officials and personnel) that
assesses service gaps and develops regional strategies and priorities to address homelessness. HRDC, as
the ESG grantee determines how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards, evaluate
outcomes, develop funding, policies, and procedures for the administration of HMIS. The City meets
with HRDC on a monthly basis to discuss issues such as homelessness, transitional housing, rapid
rehousing, permanent supportive housing, navigation services, and first-time homebuyer education. The
City also supports HRDC’s year-round shelter.

Matching is not a requirement for CDBG funds. However, the City provides general funds for public services to fully leverage federal dollars used
for public services also.
Additionally, a current proposed project with Family Promise to build water and sewer infrastructure that will open 8 additional transitional
housing units may use private funds to match the CDBG federal funds.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
These priorities meet an increasing need in the Bozeman community by addressing the most acute
housing needs through the additional of transitional and emergency housing, the cost-effective
preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing and supportive housing for underserved seniors
and people with disabilities.
Housing has been an issue for Bozeman residents for many years; concern has increased as costs have
skyrocketed and remained high. This is well-documented across several existing reports. The 2019
Bozeman Community Housing Needs Assessment revealed that prior to the pandemic, housing costs
were already becoming unmanageable – the percentage of households paying over 30% of their income
for rent plus utilities was 55%.
Bozeman’s 2021 Equity Indicators Project found housing access to affordable housing was the top need
identified by survey takers (69% reported “large need”). The most recent 2023 Gallatin Valley Housing
Report confirms that the post-COVID real estate price surge has been staggering: “the median price of a
newly built single-family home in 2022 was $950,000, nearly double the amount recoded in 2019.”
These priorities take steps to ensure equitable and inclusive housing is a reality in Bozeman by focusing
strategically on homelessness, displacement, aging-in-place and universal building accessibility,
increasing community knowledge, and lobbying for local solutions at the state level, so that Bozeman
residents of all ages, abilities, and income levels can feel confident and secure in calling Bozeman their
home.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
It is a priority for the City to develop a coordinated strategy to address homelessness in the Bozeman
area in partnership with HRDC, Family Promise and other housing entities.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
The City believes that homelessness is a housing problem and has taken a Housing First approach to
homelessness. The City has participated financially in the completion of 155 units of new LIHTC housing,
which increases the number of low-income units in the community and the number of units that qualify
for the use of housing choice vouchers.
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
As highlighted in the City’s Strategic Plan, the first goal is to "develop a coordinated strategy to address
homelessness in the Bozeman area.” This goal’s first strategy is to “Identify and prioritize Housing First
approaches to address housing instability and homelessness.” The City will continue to work
collaboratively with its local community partners to provide funding and other resources to support
reaching out to residents experiencing homelessness to not only help assess their own unique individual
needs, but to work toward developing a strategy to address homelessness in Bozeman that is built upon
the lived experience of unhoused residents in the community.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City’s first housing goal includes a recommendation to address the emergency and transitional
housing needs of Bozeman residents experiencing homelessness. Additionally, several stakeholders
consulted for the development of this plan identified transitional housing as one of the most critical
housing needs for unhoused residents in Bozeman. The City is working on an infrastructure project
benefitting an expansion of emergency and transitional unit operated by Family Promise. The additional
sewer capacity created by annexing and connecting to city sewer, will enable the utilization of 8 new
units of housing, which with an average family size of 4 would entail access to housing for 32 people.
The infrastructure expansion could also allow Family Promise to build as many as 15 units on an
314
Annual Action Plan
2025
28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
adjacent lot they own, which would also be served by the new infrastructure.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City works closely with non-profit partners who help and support homeless persons. A part of that
assistance is to shorten the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
This item is to be determined.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
As articulated in the housing market analysis, several barriers to affordable housing development were
identified in Bozeman. Barriers identified by stakeholders included the high cost of infrastructure,
complex and convoluted development code, high cost and lack of availability of land, cost of labor, short
construction season, restrictive private covenants, and community pushback. Additionally, stakeholders
highlighted the State’s removal of a jurisdiction’s regulatory authority to allow inclusionary zoning as
another barrier.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Funding
Several of these strategies have and continue to be implemented. In addition to its existing community
housing inventory of over 1,200 affordable rentals and close to 200 affordable homeownership units, as
of as of June 16, 2025, there are an additional 316 community housing affordable units under
construction and 534 in the project pipeline. The City of Bozeman will continue to implement the
strategies above and will look to leverage other opportunities and partnerships that help reduce barriers
to affordable housing development in the city.
The City of Bozeman leverages a variety of programs, public and private, to fill the large financial gaps in
affordable housing projects due to the escalating costs of land, labor, lumber and lending. The tools
currently at the City’s disposal include the Community Housing Fund, a yearly general fund allocation,
Urban Renewal funds when a project is located within an Urban Renewal District, 4% or 9% Low Income
Housing Tax Credits when available, and when awarded by the State of Montana, and the Gallatin
Housing Impact Fund, a $10M privately raised low-interest revolving loan fund. Occasionally, there is
overlap between the geographically constrained URD and LIHTC boundaries where the City can pair and
sometimes triple the incentive to lower the AMI and increase long term affordability.
The City will also look for opportunities to support and defend local housing solutions at the state
legislature and Identify and pursue local and state revenue streams for the creation of affordable
housing and housing assistance programs, including dedicated mills to affordable housing projects and
preserving the ability to use Tax Increment Financing as a tool for affordable housing
The City of Bozeman will continue to implement the strategies above and will look to leverage other
opportunities and partnerships that help reduce barriers to affordable housing development in the city.
The process to develop this plan was grounded in input from community members and partner

Notice of Public Hearing and Opportunity to Comment
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CITY’S YEAR TWO ANNUAL HOUSING ACTION PLAN PORTION OF THE
CITY’S CONSOLIDATED PLAN
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Commission (the “Commission”) of the City of Bozeman, Montana (the
“City”) will hold a public hearing on the Year Two Annual Housing Action Plan on July 15, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the
City Commission Room at City Hall, 121 N. Rouse Avenue, Bozeman, Montana, with access available online via
videoconference technology, with the link to be available on the City’s website at www.bozeman.net/meetings.
The Annual Housing Action Plan portion of the Consolidated Plan supports the work of the Economic Development
Department in the administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) fund. The CDBG
Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities to develop viable urban
communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.
Eligibility for participation as an entitlement community is based on population data provided by the U.S. Census
Bureau and metropolitan area delineations published by the Office of Management and Budget. The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the amount of each entitlement grantee’s
annual funding allocation by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective measures of community needs,
including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth lag in
relationship to other metropolitan areas.
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help local jurisdictions assess affordable housing needs and market
conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process
serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities
that align and focus funding from the Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula block grant programs,
including the CDBG program. The Annual Action Plan is the implementation portion for year two of the
Consolidated Plan. The City is

#5604.”
Background
The Consolidated Plan, Annual Housing Action Plan, and Fair Housing Equity Plan support the work of the
Economic Development Department in the administration of the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) fund. The CDBG Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities
to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and
by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.
Eligibility for participation as an entitlement community is based on population data provided by the U.S.
Census Bureau and metropolitan area delineations published by the Office of Management and Budget.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the amount of each
entitlement grantee’s annual funding allocation by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective
measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of
housing and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
On August 24, 2023, the City of Bozeman received notification from HUD’s Region VIII office of Community
Planning and Development that the city has the sufficient population to meet the definition of a
Metropolitan City under the CDBG program and is eligible to become what is known as an “entitlement
jurisdiction” and is therefore eligible to receive CDBG funding directly from HUD, rather than applying for
funding through the State of Montana.
The Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) is designed to help local jurisdictions assess affordable housing needs
and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The Consolidated
Planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and
community development priorities that align and focus funding from the Community Planning and
Development (CPD) formula block grant programs, including the CDBG program.

2024-2028 Consolidated Housing Plan
The ConPlan guides policy and investment decisions for housing, economic, economic development, and
community development in Montana. It is designed to meet requirements set by HUD and various housing
and community development acts passed by the U.S. Congress. The ConPlan documents needs such as
affordable housing, homelessness, infrastructure, community facilities, and economic development.
The plan consolidates the planning, application, reporting, and citizen participation components of the
formula programs that receive funding from HUD, with specific emphasis on the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program. The plan includes a five-year comprehensive, strategic plan, known as the
“Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development.” This strategic plan assesses needs and
current conditions as well as determines priorities and allocated HUD funding.
To meet the minimum requirements set forth by HUD, the ConPlan must include five main components:
1. A description of the lead agency or entity responsible for overseeing the development of the plan
and a description of the process undertaken to develop the plan
2. A housing and homeless needs assessment
3. A housing market analysis
4. A strategic plan
5. A one-year Action Plan
2024 Annual Housing Action Plan
Under the five-year strategic plan, Annual Action Plans (AAP) further detail how the City will use funds to
carry out the programs with the expected resources available, types of activities offered, distribution of
funds, and other actions. In addition to submitting an AAP, the City will submit a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which documents accomplishments and progress towards
meeting goals and objectives outlined in the ConPlan and corresponding AAP. Each CAPER is submitted to
HUD within 90 days after the close of the annual plan year.
The AAP serves as the application to HUD for funding of the CDBG program. The AAP describes to HUD
any changes or trends in Bozeman’s housing, homeless residents, special needs populations, and
community and economic development needs. The AAP also summarizes the actions Bozeman will take
to support the strategic goals identified in the ConPlan. Completing the ConPlan and AAP helps grantees
determine what activities and organizations to fund in the coming year.
Fair Housing Equity Plan
In 2023, HUD published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking entitled “Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing.” The rule implements the Fair Housing Act’s statutory mandates that HUD
ensures that recipients of its funding affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). The AFFH mandate requires
that program participants proactively take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation,
promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities, and foster inclusive communities free
from discrimination.
Program participants must submit to HUD for review and acceptance an Equity Plan that is developed
following community engagement and contains the fair housing analysis, goals, and strategies. An Equity
Plan will be submitted every five years. Program participants are required to incorporate fair housing goals
from the Equity Plans into subsequent planning documents (e.g., Consolidated Plan and Annual Action
Plan).
326

Community Engagement Approach
The Consolidated Planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify
housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the CPD formula block
grant programs. Through the ConPlan, grantee jurisdictions engage the community, both in the process
of developing and reviewing the proposed plan, and as partners and stakeholders in the implementation
of the CDBG program. By consulting and collaborating with other public and private entities, grantees can
align and coordinate community development programs with a range of other plans, programs, and
resources to achieve greater impact.
Residents play an important role in improving the quality of life in their neighborhoods and should have
the opportunity to participate in processes that impact their neighborhoods and community. Community
engagement and public involvement helps inform the development of the ConPlan, which will result in
the setting of fair housing goals to increase fair housing choice and provide equal access to opportunity
for all community members. The City will use the fair housing goals and priorities identified by community
members to inform the investment and other decisions made in the Consolidated Planning process.
The Fair Housing Plan (FHP), with inclusive community participation, will result in the setting of fair
housing goals to increase fair housing choice and provide equal access to opportunity for all community
members. The City of Bozeman will then use the fair housing goals and priorities established to inform
the investments and other decisions made in the Consolidated Planning process.
As part of the community engagement process, the City encouraged participation by low- and moderate-
income residents, particularly those living in areas where federal funds are proposed to be used and those
populations who have historically experienced exclusion, including racial and ethnic minorities, limited
English proficient individuals, and individuals with disabilities.
Headed into the citizen participation process, staff recognized that there was overlap between this project
and the engagement we performed through the Belonging in Bozeman Equity and Inclusion Plan. Both
staff and the City Commission shared concerns about marginalized populations having engagement
fatigue, especially after recently sharing similar and stories about vulnerability in housing needs. To avoid
engagement burnout and ensure the City is still meeting HUD requirements, staff focused on
incorporating feedback from the Belonging in Bozeman Plan and meeting with marginalized populations
and protected classes who showed the most acute and serious housing needs.
During the citizen participation process, the City of Bozeman conducted several Resident Focus Groups
which were in-depth and intentional conversations with low- and moderate-income families, seniors,
residents living with disabilities, unhoused residents, and members of protected classes. These
conversations expanded on themes that were developed during the City’s community outreach efforts
during the development of the Belonging in Bozeman (BiB) plan. One of the goals outlined in the BiB plan
was to deepen engagement with underserved communities.
City staff and consultants also engaged in twelve Stakeholder Interviews with representatives from
housing, community development, social services, and economic development organizations to
understand trends and a wider context of issues from service providers. Emphasis was placed on
organizations serving underrepresented, underserved, special needs and minority populations. These
conversations identified community priority areas and goals.
327

In addition, the City conducted a Housing and Community Needs Survey that was open to all residents in
Bozeman and Gallatin County to ensure everyone had an opportunity to give feedback on housing issues,
and to allow for participation from residents and marginalized groups who may not have participated in
the focus groups. The survey closed May 10 and over 950 respondents participated. The survey responses
can be found within the Needs Assessment portion of the ConPlan.
Staff also presented to several City Advisory Boards, including multiple presentations to the Economic
Vitality Board, the Community Development Board and the Inter-Neighborhood Council. Each of these
presentations offered community members with the opportunity to provide public comment and learn
more about the ConPlan, the AAP and the FHP.
The City of Bozeman strives to ensure the provision of fair housing throughout the community. As a
recipient of federal funding, the City must affirmatively further fair housing by taking meaningful actions
to overcome patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, eliminate disparities in opportunities,
and foster inclusive communities free from discrimination. Federal and state fair housing laws prohibit
discriminatory practices in any industry-related business or transaction that may affect the ability of
protected class members to secure housing and live in the housing of their choice.
Belonging in Bozeman Housing Goals
Bozeman’s Equity Indicators Project found that access to affordable housing was the top need identified
by survey respondents. The Belonging in Bozeman Equity and Inclusion Plan proposed making equitable
and inclusive housing a reality in Bozeman by focusing strategically on homelessness, displacement, aging
in place and universal building accessibility, increasing community knowledge, and lobbying for local
solutions at the state level, so that Bozeman residents of all ages, abilities, and income levels can feel
confident and secure in call Bozeman home. The top housing goals and recommendations laid out in the
plan are to develop a coordinated strategy to address homelessness in the Bozeman area.
Categories of Eligible Activities
HUD awards grants to entitlement community grantees to carry out a wide range of community
development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and
providing improved community facilities and services. At least 70 percent of CDBG funds must be used for
activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities. However, grantees must
give maximum feasibility priority to activities which benefit low- and moderate-income persons. A grantee
may also carry out activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Additionally,
grantees may fund activities when the grantee certifies that the activities meet other community
development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate
threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to
meet such needs. CDBG funds may not be used for activities which do not meet at least one of the national
objectives.
CDBG funds may be used for activities which include, but are not limited to:
• Acquisition of real property
• Relocation and demolition
• Rehabilitation or residential and non-residential structures
328
5 | Page
• Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets,
neighborhoods centers, and the conversion of school buildings for eligible purposes
• Public services, within certain limits
• Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources
• Provision of assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out economic development and
job creation and retention activities
Each activity must meet at least one of the following national objectives for the program: benefit low- and
moderate-income persons, prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or address community
development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate
threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available.
Generally, the following types of activities are ineligible:
• Acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of government
• Political activities
• Certain income payments
• Construction of new housing (with some exceptions)
HUD has published a Guide to National Objectives and Eligible Activities for Entitlement Communities
which contains Categories of Eligible Activities which outlines each of the permissible ususes of CDBG
funding. HUD also publishes an annual CDBG Activity Expenditure Report for each entitlement jurisdiction.
CDBG Allocation
The CDBG statute identifies poverty, neighborhood blight, deteriorated housing, physical and economic
distress, decline, suitability of one’s living environment, and isolation of income groups, among others, as
important components of community development need. The Community Planning and Development
Formula Program Allocations reflect the level of funding approved for the CDBG program in each
community. These annual formula grants provide critical funding for a wide range of activities to address
their most pressing local needs, providing flexible resources to facilitate the creation of affordable housing
development, support homeowners, provide life-saving assistance to people experiencing homelessness,
create jobs, and improve public facilities, community resilience, and local economies.
Entitlement jurisdictions are metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000 residents as
determined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). When the City of Bozeman surpassed this
threshold, it became entitled to receive CDBG dollars directly from HUD, rather than applying through the
State of Montana. Bozeman is now eligible to receive an earmarked annual allocation each year.
Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities.
In 2024, the City of Bozeman is eligible to receive $325,859 in CDBG funding. By comparison, the City of
Missoula will get an allocation of $533,969. The City of Billings will collect $651,536 and the State of
Montana will secure $6,172,506 in funds. The City’s allocation will total nearly $1.6 million over the course
of five years.
HUD uses a dual formula to calculate awards. Formula A has a 50% weight on the number of persons in
poverty, a 25% weight on total population, and a 25% weight on the number of overcrowded households.
Formula B has a 50% weight on the number of housing units built before 1940, a 30% weight on the
number of persons in poverty, and a 20% weight on population growth lag from 1960. This dual formula
329

enables CDBG dollars to specifically target communities with the most pressing needs and the least ability
to address those needs with their own resources.
Economic Vitality Board Recommendation
A public hearing before the Economic Vitality Board (EVB) was held on June 5, 2024, to provide the public
an opportunity to comment on the plan development process, community engagement strategy, and to
identify other significant housing and community development needs in the city.
The EVB discussed how far the limited funds would go and what types of projects or activities could be
funded with this CDBG allocation and what the scale and impact of those activities might be. The board
stated that the City’s priorities should match the scale of funding and staffing and other resources
available. The EVB supported staff’s recommendation to prioritize transitional and emergency housing for
the unhoused residents living in this community.
The EVB unanimously agreed that addressing homelessness is a critical need in the community and that
the City should focus on the most at-risk population. The City should target funding at lower AMI ranges
and activities where there are not currently sufficient funding sources. The EVB discussed how crucial
transitional and emergency housing is and that this is an issue that keeps coming up in community
engagement efforts year over year, and that it is important for the City to listen to the community. The
board stated that hundreds of people transition in and out of the current homeless shelter, and that
funding projects to house and support these individuals can be life-changing and even lifesaving.
In addition to supporting transitional and emergency housing as a top funding priority, the EVB
recommended that housing rehabilitation and preservation, as well as universal design for the elderly and
persons living with disabilities should be prioritized in the ConPlan and AAP. The board stated that
maintaining existing affordable housing stock prevents displacement of our residents and workforce.
Adequate workforce housing helps small business attract and retain staff and stay open. This supports
local businesses and stabilizes the economy. Similarly, universal design projects help house the elderly
and persons living with disabilities so they can remain independent in the community.
The EVB voted unanimously to recommend that transitional and emergency housing for the unhoused,
universal design for the elderly and persons with disabilities, and housing rehabilitation and preservation
be prioritized in the ConPlan and AAP. Furthermore, the board recommended that CDBG funding be used
to support the unhoused, particularly with transitional and emergency housing in any capacity that is an
allowable use of CDBG.
Conclusion
The ConPlan is a guiding document and a tool the City of Bozeman can use to influence how federal
housing and community development dollars are spent in our community. The ConPlan merges into one
process, and one document, all the planning and applicable requirements of the CDBG program. This long-
term plan must be done at least every five years. It must indicate general priorities for allocating CDBG
monies and must describe the rationale for the fund allocation priorities. The purpose of this public
hearing is to the give the community the opportunity to provide feedback to City staff about the 2024-
2029 Consolidated Plan, 2024 Annual Community Housing Action Plan, and Fair Housing Equity Plan. In
addition, the City Commission will be asked to determine the City’s top strategic priorities to be included
in the 2024 Action Plan, and to determine the City’s top funding priorities for the use of CDBG funds.

WHAT IS A “CDBG CONSOLIDATED PLAN?”
A planning document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) as a condition of receiving housing and community development funding (CDBG funds).
It uses a combination of data and community outreach to determine the top housing needs,
community development concerns, and gaps in supportive services for low- and moderate-
income populations in cities and counties
WHAT IS A “FAIR HOUSING PLAN?”
A Fair Housing Plan, or “Equity Plan,” prepared by a HUD program participant, commits the
program participant to goals (and expenditures of HUD funds) that advance equity in housing,
community development programs, and residents’ access to well-resourced areas, opportunity,
and community assets.
It is developed with the input of the community and consists of an analysis of fair housing data
and issues, a prioritization of the issues that would be address, and the establishment of and
commitment to undertake fair housing goals.
332
HOW DO THESE REPORTS RELATE TO OTHER
CITY PLANS ON HOUSING AND EQUITY?
The CDBG Con Plan and the Fair Housing Plan are not intended to replace the
City’s other housing and equity plans, including Belonging in Bozeman and the
Community Housing Action Plan.
Rather the HUD reports draw from City plans and build on previous analyses to
comply with HUD reporting requirements (as a condition of receiving CDBG).
➢The Con Plan provides the vision, goals, and plan specifically for allocating CDBG funds
granted to the City by HUD. These funds must benefit low- and moderate-income
households.
➢The Fair Housing Plan meets the federal standards for evaluating fair housing
challenges in Bozeman and identifying actions to promote fair housing choice in
compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Act.

CDBG Consolidated
Plan Overview
336
WHAT ARE CDBG FUNDS?
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides eligible
jurisdictions (“entitlement communities") with annual direct grants that they can
use to revitalize neighborhoods, expand affordable housing and economic
opportunities, and/or improve community facilities and services, principally to
benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
Allocation amounts are based on a HUD formula that uses both community size
and need (as measured by HUD-defined housing problems and incomes).
Bozeman can expect to receive about $325,000 per year in CDBG funds for
the next 5 years.
Prior to becoming an entitlement community, non-profits in Bozeman could
apply to the state for a portion of state CDBG funds; now the City will have more
influence on local allocations of CDBG dollars.
337
HOW CAN THE CITY USE CDBG FUNDING?

and non-residential structures

338
HOW SHOULD I READ THE CON PLAN?
The CDBG Consolidated Plan fits a prescribed Q&A style structure from HUD’s
online reporting system that applies to all jurisdictions, regardless of size, HUD
grants, or funding amounts:
▪ES: Executive Summary
▪PR: Process (Lead Agency and Consultation)
▪NA: Needs Assessment
▪MA: Housing Market Analysis
▪SP: 5-Year Strategic Plan (goals, priorities,
and expected resources)
▪AP: 1-Year Action Plan (expected funding,
goals, and projects)
Because all entitlement communities
prepare the same document structure for
HUD, not all sections of the Con Plan are
perfectly applicable to all jurisdictions (e.g., questions related to housing
authorities where there is no PHA).
The most important components to
review to provide input for CDBG investments in Bozeman are goals and
priorities in the Strategic Plan
(sections SP-25, 35, 45) and funding and
project info in the Annual Action Plan
(sections AP-15, 20, and 35).
339

Identified Needs
The greatest housing and community development needs in Bozeman
identified through the development of the CDBG Con Plan include:
▪More affordable rental housing options, particularly for local workforce;
▪More affordable homeownership opportunities;
▪More transitional housing and emergency shelter options;
▪More accessible housing and supportive housing;
▪Increased access to critical community services, such as mental health
services, chemical dependency services, and affordable and available
childcare.
340
11
Bozeman’s 5-Year CDBG Goals
1.Increase, protect and preserve affordable rental and homeownership housing
opportunities by improving access to a diverse set of affordable housing, including but
not limited to, naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH), supportive housing for
seniors and residents living with disabilities, and accessible housing.
2.Improve housing stability for individuals and households with critical needs,
including persons experiencing or at-risk of homelessness by providing appropriate
housing and service solutions grounded in Housing First approaches, including but not
limited to, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and other supportive services.
3.Improve community services by addressing critical needs and promoting equity
through improved or increased access to community programming, including but not
limited to, mental health services, chemical dependency services, and affordable and
available childcare.

Fair Housing
Plan Overview

Fair Housing Challenges
•Shortage of affordable and accessible housing units. There is a significant
shortage of affordable and accessible housing units in the city, which
disproportionately impacts low-income households—primarily minorities—and
households with individuals living with a disability.
•Disparate access to opportunity. As articulated in Section IV of the report,
Indigenous residents in Bozeman have the lowest English and Math proficiency
rates among K-8 students by race and ethnicity, as well as the lowest high school
graduation rates and highest unemployment rate among city residents.
Residents and stakeholders also highlighted transportation challenges in the city,
which primarily impact low-income households, Hispanic/Latino immigrants, and
residents living with disabilities.
Challenges include market factors that may be outside City’s sphere of influence.
344
15
Fair Housing Challenges
•Barriers to homeownership. Households of color have lower rates of
homeownership compared with non-Hispanic White households in Bozeman.
Significant gaps in homeownership exist for Black/African American and Hispanic
households in Bozeman. Additionally, Hispanic applicants are more than twice as
likely to receive high-priced loans compared with non-Hispanic White applicants.
•Lack of access to fair housing resources. Nearly half of survey respondents
who reported experiencing housing discrimination (46%) identified a need for
more resources and education for residents related to fair housing and how to
respond to housing discrimination.
•Lack of access to translation and interpretation services. Stakeholders
articulated a need for more translation and interpretation services provided by
the City, specifically Spanish.
Challenges include market factors that may be outside City’s sphere of influence.
345
16
Proposed Fair Housing Actions
Actions are structured around Con Plan goals and aligned with Belonging in Bozeman.
•To achieve the Belonging in Bozeman goal to “Promote aging in place and universally accessible
residential development,” the City provide developer education/training on adaptable and universal design and may also offer home-buyer and renter education on universal design.
•Explore potential incentives that could enable aging in place and universal design.
•Continue prioritizing investment in innovative models to increase affordable ownership.
•Explore policies that address disparities in access to homeownership.
Con Plan Goal 1. Increasing and Preserving Housing Options.
•UDC update in alignment with vision and goals established in Bozeman’s guiding documents.

Memorandum
REPORT TO:City Commission
FROM:Greg Sullivan, City Attorney
Chuck Winn, City Manager
SUBJECT:A Resolution Declaring the Pride Flag and Its Variants to be Official Flags of
the City of Bozeman
MEETING DATE:July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:Consider the Motion: I move to adopt the Resolution.
STRATEGIC PLAN:3.3 Friendly Community: Ensure Bozeman continues to welcome diversity
through policies and public awareness.
BACKGROUND:The Montana Legislature recently adopted HB819 establishing a new law
related to the State's and local governments' display of flags. This item
provides the City Commission the opportunity to determine whether to
declare the Pride Flag and its variants as official flags of the City. The
resolution attached provides details.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None identified.
ALTERNATIVES:As determined by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS:
Adopting the Pride flag may draw increased attention to the City’s diversity,
equity, and inclusion initiatives and related executive orders. This could
invite legal challenges or public scrutiny, leading to unplanned legal costs
and additional staff time to respond. The increased attention could also lead
to closer examination of other City initiatives, potentially complicating
federal grant processes if concerns are raised about compliance with
executive orders.

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bozeman (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and
thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to
these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the ‘I agree’ button at the
bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign ‘Withdraw Consent’ form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably
ascertainable from an inspection of the site, 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.
1.5.4. The Owner assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by the
Contractor based on the information made available by the Owner, nor does the Owner assume

employees concerning conditions which can affect the Work unless that understanding or representation
is expressly stated in the Contract Documents.
1.5.4.1. Performance of any portion of the Work, beyond that required for complying with the
specifications and all other requirements of the Contract, shall be deemed to be for the

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

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

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

the Work 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

Work and of the Contract Documents.
3.12.5. The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require
submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective
submittal has been approved. Should the Contractor, Subcontractors or Sub- 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 by the Owner on
previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice the Owner's approval of a re- submission shall
not apply to such revisions.
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 review and verification of all performance or design criteria as required by
Paragraph 3.2.

stamped and approved on each and every copy by the Contractor 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.

4. ARTICLE 4- ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT
4.1 OWNER’S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
4.1.1. The Owner will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents
throughout the complete duration of the project.
4.1.2. The Owner will organize a pre-construction conference between the parties to discuss design and
construction of the project, including timelines and costs.
4.1.3. The Owner will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the contractor’s operations to:
(1) become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work Completed; and (2)
to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully
completed will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Owner will not be required
to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Contractor’s
Work. The Owner will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, for the safety of any person involved in the work
or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the
Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents.
4.1.4. The Owner will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Owner will not have control over or charge of and
will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or
employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

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.
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

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

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 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;

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:
“Under penalty of law (including perjury and/or false/fraudulent claims against the State), the
undersigned,
(Name)
(Title)

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

General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
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.

General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
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.
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 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 Subcontractor's Work, which the
Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner. Each subcontract agreement shall

163407
Page 26 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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 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, 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
Docusign Envelope ID: D0B2D972-4A7B-4C52-9CCF-C155F4456F52
165409
Page 28 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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

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;
7.2.1.2. the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and,
7.2.1.3. the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

follows:
7.2.2.1. per the limitations of this Subparagraph. The allowance for overhead and for profit are
limited to the percentage as specified herein unless they are determined to be unreasonable by

Change Directive; or,
7.2.2.2. by one of the methods in Subparagraph 7.3.4, or as determined by the Owner per
Subparagraph 7.3.9. Subcontractors shall be limited to a maximum total combined allowance of

7.2.3.4. The Contractor shall provide a complete description detailing and summarizing all work
involved.
7.2.4. Any Change Order, responses to requested proposals, or requested changes submitted by the

7.3.1. A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared and signed by the Owner or
Engineer, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or
Contract Time, or both. The Owner or Engineer, may, by Construction Change Directive, without
invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the 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

7.3.7. Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed 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 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, fringe
benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance as determined

change.
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.

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.
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.
8.1.9. Contract Time. All work shall reach Substantial Completion (or Final Acceptance) by the date
fixed in the Contract.
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 to Proceed

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.
8.3.3. This Paragraph 8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other
provisions of the Contract Documents.

the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier.
9.3.5. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the
Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment
suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment
stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon 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

belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having
provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.

Contractor, increase the amount held as retainage to whatever level deemed 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.

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

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 by the Owner. The
Owner will establish the amount that would otherwise be held as retainage. Should the
Contractor choose to submit obligations/securities in lieu of 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

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;
b. final test reports as required by the Contract and certificates of inspection and approval
required for use and occupancy;

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.

174418
Page 37 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
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
Docusign Envelope ID: D0B2D972-4A7B-4C52-9CCF-C155F4456F52
175419
Page 38 of 53
General Conditions of the Construction Contract – Bozeman Sports Park Field 13
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.
9.7.3. Neither final payment nor any remaining retainage shall become due until the Contractor submits:
9.7.3.1 an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or

with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of
written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written
acceptance of such condition The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Contractor and give the
Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the
Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming
Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner, the Owner may
correct it in accordance with Paragraph 2.3.

and conditions of the Contract and with any special guarantees or warranties provided in the Contract
Documents. The Owner shall give notice of observed deficiencies with reasonable promptness. All
manufacturer, product and supplier warranties are in addition to this Contractor warranty.
12.2.3.The Contractor shall respond within seven (7) days after notice of observed deficiencies has been
given and he shall proceed to immediately remedy these deficiencies.

12.2.5. Latent defects shall be in addition to those identified above and shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor per the statute of limitations for a written contract (27- 2-208 MCA) starting from the date of
Final Acceptance.

performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the
actual performance of the Work.
12.2.7. The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by
the Contractor pursuant to this Paragraph 12.2.

respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents.

only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time
within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to
the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with respect
to the Contractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
12.3. ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
12.3.1. If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case
the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected
whether or not final payment has been made.

difference to the Owner.
