Statement of Qualifications
Stucky Road Reconstruction from Fowler Lane to South 19th Avenue
July 16, 2026
Allied Engineering Services, Inc. July 16, 2026 1
INTRODUCTION
Allied Engineering Services, Inc. (AESI) has assembled a team of local specialists to provide high-quality
services for the Stucky Road ReconstrucƟon from Fowler Avenue to South 19th Avenue. The team will
primarily consist of AESI, Robert Peccia and Associates (RPA), and Morrison-Maierle (MM). Other
supporƟng members of the team include Big Sky Public RelaƟons and Clear Route Real Estate. A weakness
that many firms in the valley may be experiencing, including AESI, is the capacity to handle a project of
this magnitude, completely on their own. As outlined in the scope items below, there will be a large
number of tasks to cover and pieces to coordinate. The GallaƟn Valley area is sƟll growing, and firms are
generally too busy to commit to a large project that aims to be through pre-design and design and into
construcƟon by 2028. We have assembled our team specifically to allow each firm to work where they
excel and have the capacity to complete the work. This teaming combinaƟon provides a robust package,
most recently demonstrated on the North 27th Avenue street improvement project. While AESI is taking a
larger role in the Stucky Road project, the same base team remains.
Our team’s specific knowledge in this region,
ongoing project work, and proximity to the
improvements are unsurpassed. AESI completed
the design for the Genesis Business Park (GBP)
located adjacent to Stucky, with Discovery Drive
and Enterprise Boulevard connecƟng directly to
Stucky. With our headquarters at the corner of
Stucky and Discovery, we know how busy this area
can be at rush hour. Our ongoing nearby work
includes a water main extension for Family
Promise within GBP, annexaƟon assistance with
the owners' associaƟon, and survey data and
background for sanitary sewer main extensions
from GBP to the City of Bozeman (COB) collecƟon system. Improvements for Fowler Lane street and
sanitary sewer were recently completed under MM.
Our background and planning efforts are already underway for the Family Promise water system, and other
surrounding improvements will naturally expand to include the areas captured by Stucky Road. Planning,
modeling, and analysis for water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage will be covered by AESI, recently
demonstraƟng our capability through work with MSU and COB redevelopment projects. Support from the
long-standing municipal team at MM will provide addiƟonal capacity and oversight to complement the
crew at AESI. Geotechnical experience, knowledge, and presence during construcƟon are held to a high
standard by AESI. Street design is where RPA excels and where they will focus. This project involves
intersecƟons that warrant in-depth experience in alternaƟves analyses and knowledge of MDT and COB
specifics. Other support scope items and construcƟon will be covered by MM as they have full-service
teams to cover the project.
Much like North 27th, this team pulls together individuals to serve where they perform best. This team is
not new and has worked together under similar roles for many years on various projects for the COB and
within GallaƟn County. The following demonstrates our excellence and ability to perform each individual
scope item and how our current knowledge and project work in the area will ensure project success.

PROJECT SCOPE AND APPROACH
Scope items for the project are outlined below. The firm responsible for each item and related projects is
listed for each task. Significant projects are discussed in more detail in later secƟons. This project
encompasses a broad scope of work and a relaƟvely large volume of tasks to meet the overall project
Ɵmeline of reaching construcƟon by 2028. The scale of this project will require obtaining Contractor bids
early in the year before their construcƟon season is allocated. This Ɵming will help obtain mulƟple
compeƟƟve bids. By breaking down the project into individual scope items, each member of the team can
focus on their specific porƟon of the work and maintain excess resources for other projects and project
deadlines.
Topographic and Boundary Survey:
Every successful project starts with a good survey. The proposed
improvements will require precise data for topography within the
roadway, outside the roadway, and to establish boundary lines. The
collector secƟon will extend beyond the currently dedicated right-
of-way, requiring data within adjacent properƟes. AESI has
previously completed a survey along the Stucky Road corridor for
the Meadow Creek Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Ouƞall Line. The
project required boundary and topography throughout the same
secƟon of Stucky Road as this project. We will uƟlize past data to
assist with defining property boundaries and right-of-way. New
research and data collecƟon will be required to confirm boundaries and provide a Ɵght topographic map.
The survey will be completed using a roboƟc total staƟon for precise measurements where required,
convenƟonal GPS survey, and a drone for LiDAR and photogrammetry to incorporate addiƟonal
topography for off-site areas. ExisƟng uƟliƟes, including gas and power, may benefit from subsurface
exploraƟons by RPA. Accuracy of data throughout the project will culminate in construcƟon staking and
use of survey and design data by the Contractor for machine control.

Right-of-Way Acquisition:
The Stucky Road corridor includes mulƟple right-of-way
consideraƟons, including varied parcel ownership, irrigaƟon ditch
crossings, and potenƟal development dedicaƟons. CRRE
recommends beginning acquisiƟon planning during preliminary
engineering to evaluate impacts; coordinate early with MSU, the
AssociaƟon of GallaƟn Agricultural Irrigators (AGAI), local irrigators,
and affected property owners; and idenƟfy opportuniƟes to reduce
acquisiƟon complexity. As the design advances, CRRE will prepare
acquisiƟon packages, coordinate appraisals or waiver valuaƟons,
manage specialized approvals, and maintain clear communicaƟon
to support Ɵmely decisions, voluntary agreements, and the
necessary documentaƟon if addiƟonal acquisiƟon measures are
required. Where necessary, easement exhibits will be provided to
define the easement area and accompany the COB standard easement language documents
Geotechnical Investigation and Report
A primary factor for solid road building and longevity is the
structure of the road. Developing a solid road secƟon that will last
over Ɵme while sƟll being cost-effecƟve is a challenging balance.
This secƟon of street improvement involves a mile of reconstrucƟon
from a relaƟvely narrow secƟon to a much wider urban street
secƟon. Careful planning from exisƟng knowledge of the area and
iniƟal subsurface invesƟgaƟons will be used for developing
recommendaƟons and providing alternaƟves to be used for
preliminary cosƟng. As with any construcƟon project, the
unexpected can be encountered. Having experienced staff next
door to the project, working closely with the construcƟon team to
adjust as needed, is criƟcal to keep the project moving. It is unlikely
that the exisƟng road secƟon can be used as is “in-place” unless
new grades are significantly raised and/or perhaps in combinaƟon with a thicker full-depth asphalt secƟon
in the rehab areas of the project site. Therefore, one of the main geotechnical recommendaƟons will likely
be to roto-mill, blend, strip, salvage, and reuse the exisƟng asphalt and gravel secƟon materials as part of
the new sub-base secƟon of the roadway. By doing so, two-fold cost savings can be achieved by having to
export less on-site material and having to import less gravel material. We have recommended and
successfully uƟlized the reuse of surface and base material for mulƟple projects, including CoƩonwood

Road and Manley Road. Trip projecƟons will be used to develop road secƟon alternaƟves and value
engineering. Pole base design for lighƟng and signals will require informaƟon from the geotechnical
engineer.
Wetland Delineation, Report and Permitting:
MulƟple waterways cross Stucky Road and will need to be
evaluated for impacts and permiƫng requirements. Wetland
delineaƟons are Ɵme-sensiƟve and will need to be completed
outside of winter months, ideally this fall. Mapping of the wetlands
will be conducted early in the project by the survey team to provide
impact esƟmates and constraints to plan around. CoordinaƟon
with the Army Corps and GallaƟn ConservaƟon District will be
necessary to determine what features will require permiƫng and
addiƟonal consideraƟon. Our team has vast experience with
stream design and permiƫng, providing contacts and knowledge needed for Ɵmely and smooth
navigaƟon.
Traffic Study/Trip Projections:
While Stucky Road is only proposed as a collector, it provides a busy
and robust connecƟon for mulƟple significant streets. ConnecƟng
from MSU at South 11th Avenue near the football stadium, Stucky
serves as a primary route west to Gooch Hill Road, as other
conƟnuous east-west streets are limited. Safety with the volume of
traffic currently experienced has been an ongoing issue. Expansion
of the street and intersecƟons will only expand traffic and the need
for safety as addiƟonal streets and major intersecƟons become
live. Future development will further load the street network,
making safety and efficient traffic movements a priority. Stucky
Road is a primary route for many of the staff at AESI, on a daily
basis, throughout the past several years, some as many as 25+
years. Thus, we have observed, first hand, the long term challenges
of Stucky Road, including vehicle accidents, annual heaving at irrigaƟon crossings, high traffic delays during
rush hour. The street, pedestrian access, and safe bicycle access are of paramount importance to our staff
and for the community. A thorough traffic study will guide long-term design decisions to determine
successful soluƟons along Stucky Road. IntersecƟons along this secƟon and surrounding areas include:
South 11th Avenue (Collector)
South 19th Avenue (Principal Arterial)
Genesis Business Park (AESI location) and Grace Bible Approach (local and private)
South 27th Avenue (Collector)

Funding Alternatives and Assistance:
This redevelopment project includes many components previously
lacking, as this rural secƟon of road has grown more urban. Past
construcƟon esƟmates are listed at nearly $6 million, without fully
accounƟng for all components. At the same Ɵme, the value
provided to surrounding properƟes will be massive. Funding will
likely be pulled from various sources to produce the total amount
required. Funding mechanisms require experience to successfully
navigate, as there are many details and legal components involved.
MM brings the experience to evaluate various funding alternaƟves,
assessment methods, and details to pull this large project component together. MM will provide
experience and insight for cost esƟmaƟng, the basis used for funding development.
Public Outreach and Community Engagement:
Our involvement in this scope item may vary depending on the COB
desired level of involvement. For typical public involvement and as
outlined in the RFQ, we can assist the COB with community
engagement tasks. However, if the project requires a higher level of
involvement and management of data or plaƞorms, we have
teamed with Big Sky Public RelaƟons. IniƟal phases of work are not
expected to require BSPR; however, later phases may involve more
input from the public when alternaƟves are presented. Stucky Road
is a well-known, busy roadway with past fatal crashes and steep and
deep roadside ditches.

Street and Intersection Design, Striping and Signage:
This secƟon of Stucky Road is a straight shot, with no horizontal
curves to consider and minimal grade to contend with. However,
road geometry, intersecƟons, and verƟcal grades will be challenges
to consider from the start of the project in pre-design and to fine-
tune through construcƟon. RPA’s Staci Venner has the experience of
anƟcipaƟng these challenges and developing alternaƟves for
intersecƟons and street design. The Grace Bible approach lands
about 500 feet from the intersecƟon with 19th Avenue. Other busy
local intersecƟons with Stucky will need to be evaluated for turn
movements to opƟmize traffic flow and safety. MDT will be involved
for impacts to 19th Avenue, meaning more effort on the front end will pay out during detailed design. Our
team brings a long list of projects with MDT and the COB to pull together this design. As menƟoned above,
the grade is minimal along this secƟon of Stucky Road. Currently, roadside ditches can accommodate flat
secƟons in the road and adverse grade where necessary to convey runoff. VerƟcal geometry will need to
carefully weigh off-site impacts, material balance, and stormwater runoff to maintain ouƞall points and
limit excess conveyance piping where feasible.
Street Lighting and Electrical Design; Signal Design and Retrofit:
As menƟoned in the traffic study secƟon above, there are mulƟple
major intersecƟons to be considered starƟng at the pre-design
level. A roundabout has been in place at Stucky and CoƩonwood
and has proven to effecƟvely and safely convey traffic. Signals and
roundabouts will be considered as part of the pre-design for
intersecƟons that are warranted. TelecommunicaƟon lines and
overhead power run adjacent to Stucky Road. While power may
need to be relocated or incorporated into the roadway secƟon
design, use of exisƟng power infrastructure for lighƟng may be
available. The exisƟng signal at South 19th Avenue and Stucky Road will be evaluated for use as-is versus
retrofit requirements. Stucky has been a high-speed road with danger to bicyclists and pedestrians in the
past; therefore, signage, striping, lighƟng, and potenƟally pedestrian signals are items to be considered.
Special lighƟng districts will be coordinated and joined or developed as needed.
Structural Design
Structural design will be provided for exisƟng and proposed signals
and lighƟng mast arms and concrete bases. Pre-design cost
esƟmates may need to consider alteraƟons to exisƟng signals if
necessary. Knowing early what impacts may be needed will help
evaluate alternaƟves.

Landscape and Irrigation:
Landscape design will be primarily related to boulevard trees and
irrigated boulevard areas. Other alternaƟves for boulevards may
consider low-water-use coverage, hardscaping, naƟve planƟngs,
and use of the boulevard area for stormwater faciliƟes. SecƟons
along both sides of Stucky Road consist of mature trees. We
anƟcipate coordinaƟon with the COB Forestry Manager and, if
necessary, an arborist to weigh in on life expectancy and value for
impacts on exisƟng trees and how to miƟgate damage to exisƟng
trees. The street secƟon may encroach into tree areas and may not
be avoidable with alternaƟve street secƟons; however, if dry
uƟliƟes will impact tree roots, boring or direcƟonal drilling secƟons would be an opƟon to limit impacts
and potenƟally preserve exisƟng trees.
Utility Design, Coordination and Relocation:
Overhead power and telecommunicaƟon lines are located on both
sides of Stucky Road, and some power poles have been struck by
vehicles. The overhead lines will likely need to be relocated;
however, it will be worth seeing if the lines can be kept in place and
placed within the boulevard as has been done on other projects.
Full relocaƟon of lines can be expensive and will need to be
coordinated early and reviewed for costs against adjustments to
the road secƟon if necessary. Extreme diligence can oŌen be
required to obtain responses and informaƟon from uƟlity
companies. We can be masters of this persistent communicaƟon
when it becomes necessary. Other typical coordinaƟon items can
be smaller items such as required uƟlity culverts at driveways and
intersecƟons, and for rouƟng lighƟng lines across the street secƟon.
Storm Drainage and Irrigation Conveyance and Coordination:
Street redevelopment projects consistently provide a few
challenges. When the project is not combined as part of a new
development, allocaƟng space can be a challenge. Luckily, a few
different soluƟons exist, including the acquisiƟon of easements
from adjacent landowners or the uƟlizaƟon of subsurface drainage
faciliƟes. On other COB redevelopment projects, we have uƟlized
various methods to miƟgate stormwater runoff, including surface
ponds, underground storage, and mechanical treatment structures
meeƟng required water quality standards. Other opƟons outlined
in the latest COB Design Standards include boulevard swales. The Stucky Road redevelopment project will
need to consider off-site drainage and conveyance of ditches as shown by mulƟple crossings. Our team
has worked with numerous ditch companies to provide soluƟons that work for all players involved. A few
of the drainages flow near our office and have been considered as part of previous work. A paƩern
throughout all scope items is early communicaƟon and collaboraƟon. Lastly, Stucky Road currently consists
of largely undeveloped land on both sides of the road; therefore, planning for future development may

include storm drainage stubs, sizing, or other infrastructure needs to accommodate runoff from these
areas (at a minimum, accounƟng for pre-development runoff).
GallaƟn County Water Resources Survey
Water System Design and Analysis:
A new water main extension in Stucky will be a logical and criƟcal
improvement for the grid and will allow for future development.
The extension will be a major project in itself and will require
invesƟgaƟon to verify sizing and consideraƟon for stub locaƟons to
avoid cuƫng a new road in the future. As shown, anƟcipated
connecƟons would include South 19th Avenue and South 27th
Avenue. AddiƟonally, AESI is currently working on a project to
extend water to Family Promise within the Genesis Business Park.
Timing and phasing of the improvements will need to be
coordinated between the extension in Discovery Drive and Stucky
Road. Modeling and analysis are underway for the Family Promise
improvements, so expanding
that evaluaƟon area to
include the Stucky Road
water improvements will be a logical addiƟon. To assist with review,
planning, and analysis, MM is included on the team for added
support and capacity where needed.

Sanitary Sewer Design and Analysis:
An exisƟng sanitary sewer ouƞall line (designed by AESI) is located
in Stucky Road. A full inventory of manhole configuraƟons, including
grade rings, will be valuable for determining how to make grade
adjustments for construcƟon documents. AESI inventoried
hundreds of sanitary manholes as part of the MSU Wastewater
Facility Update and for the North Park Development. While the
roadway is opened up for construcƟon, it is worth considering stub
locaƟons for future development. Future connecƟons can then be
made without cuƫng into a new and busy roadway. The stubs will
need to be sized appropriately to accommodate future
development along the corridor. The team at MM will provide
valuable support for big-picture planning and modeling where
needed, allowing the design team to focus on plan development and construcƟon details. A sanitary sewer
ouƞall along Fowler was recently completed by the team at MM, providing addiƟonal knowledge in the
area. AESI has provided informaƟon to the COB for the Genesis Business Park exisƟng sanitary system and
survey of the area for connecƟon to the exisƟng ouƞall line in Stucky. Depending on Ɵming, this work may
blend with the future street improvements.
DEQ Permitting:
While a relaƟvely small porƟon of the project, DEQ permiƫng will
sƟll be a consideraƟon. Primarily, permiƫng will include main
extension checklist submiƩals for water and sanitary sewer. Reports
produced as part of the infrastructure review package for the COB
will be uƟlized and provided to DEQ. SubmiƩals will be made to DEQ
concurrently with COB submiƩals and comments incorporated from
both enƟƟes. A Stormwater PolluƟon PrevenƟon Plan (SWPPP) will
be submiƩed and reviewed through the COB and submiƩed to DEQ.
We have staff who are SWPPP cerƟfied for applicaƟons and, if
needed, administraƟon during construcƟon. Typically, we find the
Contractor can handle SWPPP administraƟon during construcƟon.
Other consideraƟons will be groundwater permiƫng to be coordinated with the Contractor and worked
out as part of the bid documents.
Construction Documents and Bidding:
ConsideraƟons for construcƟon begin at the pre-design phase of
the project and conƟnue through final cerƟficaƟon. Cost esƟmaƟng
will be valuable throughout, as it will be needed for funding
alternaƟves as previously outlined. This is where detail and
experience are crucial. Our team brings true and recent
construcƟon experience to develop bid documents for inclusive
compeƟƟve bids. North 27th Avenue has been an ongoing project
with the same team members to pull recent data from. Plans,
specificaƟons, and reports will be completed by all team members,
with MM providing valuable review and oversight to compile and
check for missing components. The experienced construcƟon team at MM will provide valuable insight.

Construction Administration, Inspection, and Certification:
ConstrucƟon starts with detailed plans and specificaƟons. From
there, conƟnuing the detail from the pre-construcƟon meeƟng and
rouƟne meeƟngs is criƟcal. Each member of the team fills a valuable
role. AESI will cover construcƟon staking, geotechnical experƟse,
and addiƟonal oversight where needed. RPA excels in construcƟon
administraƟon, and MM brings a full-service, well-rounded
construcƟon team for daily oversight. Stucky Road will use the same
team as the ongoing Improvements for North 27th Avenue. Specific
items for Stucky Road will include a detailed traffic control plan and
MDT coordinaƟon at South 19th Avenue.
FIRM INFORMATION
Project Experience
Our team has experience providing services similar to the Stucky Road ReconstrucƟon from Fowler Avenue
to South 19th Avenue project (in terms of size, type, and complexity) as demonstrated in the following past
project examples.
North 27th Avenue – Baxter to Cattail (2023-Present)
Contact: James Nickelson – Morrison Maierle, (406) 587-0721, jnickelson@m-m.net
The North 27th Avenue - Baxter to CaƩail road improvement project
will provide an important collector street extension on the
increasingly busy and growing northwest side of Bozeman. It will
provide the missing 0.5-mile-long segment of N. 27th Avenue
between Baxter Lane (on the south) and CaƩail Street (on the
north). The project includes a new roadway with asphalt
pedestrian/bicycle paths, water, sewer, and storm drain
improvements, new traffic signals at the Baxter Lane intersecƟon, a
new roundabout at the CaƩail Street intersecƟon, and street lighƟng
and landscaping.
The Design Team for the project consisted of MM as the prime consultant and RPA and AESI as sub-
consultants. MM performed the road and uƟlity design aspects of the project. RPA handled traffic-related
elements, as well as the design of traffic signals, street lighƟng, and landscaping. AESI performed the
geotechnical invesƟgaƟon and report and provided the pavement secƟon recommendaƟons.
The project design work started in 2023. In the spring of 2026, Knife River was awarded the
project. ConstrucƟon began in April and is slated to be completed in the late fall. During construcƟon,
MM is performing inspecƟons and materials tesƟng. AESI is a sub-consultant as a geotechnical resource
and is providing geotechnical observaƟon of the road construcƟon, including subgrade condiƟons and
gravel secƟon performance under construcƟon traffic.

Love Lane Extension
Contact: Marlene Sadaj - Synergy Engineering and KonsulƟng 406-624-6137, marlene@seakmt.com
In 2023, AESI began working on a proposed site development
project on the southeast side of the intersection of Huffine Lane and
Love Lane, located west of Bozeman. As part of this project, a
requirement will be to construct a 900-foot-long extension of Love
Lane to the south edge of the subject property. According to the
County’s Transportation Plan, Love Lane is classified as a minor
arterial roadway. In 2024 and 2025, the Love Lane road extension
project was designed by a team consisting of AESI (prime consultant)
and RPA as a sub-consultant. The project will consist of roadway construction, including storm drainage,
street lighting, and intersection improvements at Huffine Lane. AESI’s design contribution included project
management/coordination, site survey, geotechnical investigation and report, asphalt pavement section
recommendations, and storm drainage design. RPA handled the MDT and traffic-related elements,
roadway design, street lighting, and the Huffine Lane intersection improvements.
Manley Road Improvements - Bozeman, Montana (2019-2024)
Contact: Kellen Gamradt – City of Bozeman, (406) 582-2280, Kellen.gamradt@bozemanmt.gov
The Manley Road project for the City of Bozeman was a joint effort between
AESI and RPA, with MM providing materials testing. AESI started the project
through a Special Improvements District (SID) to provide on-street parking and
pedestrian facilities for the busy corridor that serves Map Brewing and the Glen
Lake Rotary Park (Bozeman Beach). The project design was fast-tracked during
the winter of 2019 for a Spring 2020 construction start.
RPA provided the design of the road, sanitary sewer, pedestrian facilities,
electrical system, signing, and striping. Other services included plan production,
construction administration, and utility relocation coordination. AESI provided
SID administration, geotechnical services, construction inspection, hydraulic
analysis, and stream restoration design.
Key project elements included the following:
Roadway widening and reconstruction

Cottonwood Road Improvements between Huffine and Fallon (2013-2014)
Contact: Chris Budeski – Madison Engineering, (406) 586-0262, chris@mad-eng.com
AESI was hired as a subconsultant by Madison Engineering to
provide geotechnical evaluation, street design, preparation of
construction and bid documents, and construction services for the
improvements to Cottonwood Road between Huffine Lane and
Fallon Street. AESI’s scope of work also included preparing a
Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) application in order for the
project to qualify for CIP reimbursement. The 1,270-foot stretch of
street was reconstructed from two lanes to the City of Bozeman
Principal Arterial standard, which includes a 120-foot-wide right-
of-way, five traffic lanes, bike lanes, boulevards, and sidewalks.
The triggering mechanism for this project was the new Town Pump development planned for the
southeast corner of Cottonwood Road and Huffine Lane. A City condition of approval required Town Pump
to widen Cottonwood Road along their frontage to the City of Bozeman arterial standard. During review
of the proposed widening and required lane reconfiguration with Cottonwood, it was determined that a
potentially dangerous situation would exist without correcting the lane alignments on the north side of
the intersection. The City considered the situation and determined that, due to Cottonwood Road being
an arterial, it would be in the best interest of the City to use impact fees to reconstruct Cottonwood Road,
north of Huffine, to match the required lane configuration on the south.
AESI worked closely with both Madison Engineering and the City of Bozeman throughout the project to
ensure successful reconstruction of the busy corridor. Between Huffine Lane and Fallon Street,
Cottonwood Road was improved in 1995 as part of the JC Billion development, and was subsequently
improved in 2007 and 2010 related to the Norton Subdivision. The three existing structural sections of the
street varied in composition and acceptability, resulting in portions of the road requiring removal and
portions of the road being able to remain in-situ. AESI conducted geotechnical explorations to evaluate
the reuse of these road sections.
Durston and Cottonwood Road Improvements (2015-2019)
Contact: Bob Murray – City of Bozeman, (406) 582-2269, bob.murray@bozemanmt.gov
The Durston and Cottonwood Road Improvement Project involved a
multi-year effort to reconstruct Durston Road from Fowler Avenue to
just east of Westgate Avenue, Cottonwood Road from Fallon Street to
Baxter Lane, and Baxter Lane from Cottonwood Road to east of
Flanders Mill Road to City of Bozeman minor arterial or arterial
standards. The project length was approximately 4.2 miles of road.
AESI served as a subconsultant to RPA, and their initial scope of work
included conceptual storm drainage analysis and design.
Project segments were broken out for bidding and designed over the course of several years. AESI was
retained to provide detailed storm drainage design for each project segment and geotechnical evaluations
for select segments. These services included the following:
Geotechnical recommendations for street section, signal pole foundation, and utility trench;
Allied Engineering Services, Inc. July 16, 2026 13
Hydraulic analysis and design for culverts, stormwater collection and conveyance infrastructure,
stormwater ponds, underground stormwater detention facilities, and outfall facilities;
Detailed grading for stormwater ponds; and
Review of stormwater plans and specifications.
Graf Street and South 11th Avenue Road Improvements
Contact: Chris Budeski – Madison Engineering, (406) 586-0262, chris@mad-eng.com
This project consisted of the construction of Graf Street (for 0.6 miles
from S. 19th Avenue to McNab Circle) and the construction of S. 11th
Avenue (for 0.4 miles from Graf Street to University Way). Both new
roads were designed and built to a collector street standard. These
improvements were triggered by the proposed Yellowstone
Theological Institute project on the northeast corner of S. 19th
Avenue and Graf Street.
During design, AESI was retained by Madison Engineering for a
geotechnical investigation of the project site and a hydraulic analysis of two creek crossings. As part of
the geotechnical work, AESI dug explorations along the project corridor, evaluated the soil and
groundwater conditions, and provided a report with pavement section recommendations. Due to wet and
soft soils in the west half of Graf Street, the street through this area is supported on a geogrid-reinforced
section. All other parts of Graf Street and S. 11th Avenue are built on drier silt/clay subgrade soils. The
hydrology/hydraulic-related work included design and permitting assistance for two culverts that cross
Graf Street.
AESI stayed involved with the project during construction. The scope of work included some geotechnical
inspection of the subgrade soils, modifications to the design plans to extend the geogrid-reinforced
pavement section further to the east along Graf Street, and concrete testing of curb and gutter and
sidewalks along both new streets.
Baxter Lane, from Harper Puckett Road to North 7th Avenue (2016-2021)
Contact: Shawn Kohtz – City of Bozeman, (406) 582-2280, skohtz@bozeman.net
RPA provided surveying, traffic planning, design, and construction
management services for the Baxter Lane project, which included
three separate segments of reconstruction and widening of the
existing 2-lane road to a 3-lane facility meeting minor arterial
standards with curb and gutter, sidewalk, bike lanes, and a two-way
left-turn lane. Other project elements included a new LED street
lighting system using the AGI lighting program, a new traffic signal
at the Baxter-Davis intersection, new water mains to connect gaps in the system, and new sidewalks and
retrofits to provide facilities along the corridor compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. AESI
was also involved in this project, providing hydraulic analysis for one segment.

Family Promise Water System Improvements (2026-Present)
Contact: Shawn Kohtz – City of Bozeman, (406) 582-2280, skohtz@bozeman.net
The team of AESI and RPA was recently selected to provide design
and construction administration services for a new water main
connection from the City’s existing water main in Arnold Street to
the property line of the Family Promise building in Discovery Drive,
connecting Family Promise to the City’s water supply system for
potable water and for fire suppression. The design will include fire
hydrants at City standard spacing along the extension, with a
hydrant at the intersection of Discovery Drive and Arnold and a
hydrant adjacent to the Family Promise property.
Similar to this Stucky Road project, AESI’s office is located in close proximity to the Family Promise project
site and is well familiar with the needs of the area.
