Home My WebLink About032 - Appendix W - Service Letter - Non-Municipal Facilities 121 East Griffin Drive | P.O Box 490 | Bozeman, MT 59771 | New Construction: 406-582-4600 December 9, 2025 Travis Newsom Kilday & Stratton, Inc. 2880 Technology Blvd West STE 271 Bozeman, MT - 59718 Dear Travis, NorthWestern Energy is willing and able to provide natural gas and electric service to all buildings within Laurel Meadows Subdivision, located at NORTON EAST RANCH SUB PH 6, S09, T02 S, R05 E, Lot R1A and R1C in the City of Bozeman. Service will be provided in accordance with applicable Montana Public Service Commission rules and regulations, as well as NorthWestern Energy’s current tariff schedule. Please note that the nearest natural gas and electric infrastructure is located at Laurel Parkway & Vaughn Drive and at Laurel Parkway & West Babcock Street. NorthWestern Energy shall determine the locations of all transformers, underground lines, and associated equipment to allow for proper installation and maintenance. These facilities must be placed along front lot lines within a minimum 10-foot-wide utility easement. Utility easements should remain free of permanent structures and include minimal hardscaped features. It is recommended that 12-inch N-12 double-walled utility culverts be installed at street or driveway crossings, with a minimum cover of 30 inches to the top of pipe. All proposed utilities must meet the City of Bozeman’s construction standards. Reference NorthWestern Energy New Service Guide for construction guidelines and standards: (https://www.northwesternenergy.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/account- services/montana-new-service-guide-acc.pdf) Please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns at 406-224-0211. Also, we require having a copy of the approved plat of this proposed area prior to providing a cost to bring in these services. If installation is required prior to approval of the plat, it will be your responsibility to keep us informed of any changes which would alter our utility design and installation. Sincerely, David Fuentes, PE Construction Engineer – Bozeman Division O: 406-582-4627 C: 406-224-0211 david.fuentes@northwestern.com 121 East Griffin Drive I P.O. Box 490 I Bozeman, MT 59771-0490 December 12, 2025 Travis Newsome Kilday and Stratton, Inc. 2880 Technology Blvd West Suite 271 Bozeman, MT 59718 Subject: Confirmation of Broadband Access for the proposed Laurel Meadows Subdivision Travis, Yellowstone Fiber is a Montana Public Benefit Corporation operating as a not-for-profit under the 501(c)(3) IRS code. We provide residential and commercial broadband services within the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County. We have been in operation since 2015 (formerly known as Bozeman Fiber). We currently service over 300 residents and 350 businesses and continue to expand services in the City and the County. We offer four residential tiers of service, all of which are symmetrical (equal download and upload speeds); 250 Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps and 10Gbps. Yellowstone Fiber can provide broadband access to the proposed Laurel Meadows subdivision. To ensure we can serve all premises in the development, we request the opportunity to place our conduit and fiber during any open-trench work. The cost savings from installing infrastructure while trenches are open is essential to making full buildout feasible. We routinely coordinate with NorthWestern Energy during their trenching, but if your team is performing its own underground installation, please notify us so we can participate while those trenches are open. This would be for mainline as well as individual unit drops. Please let us know if you require any additional information or if there are any specific requirements we need to address. We look forward to working with you and supporting your project. Thank you for your interest in Yellowstone Fiber.
