for a claim(s) or any portion(s) thereof.
In the event of an action filed against the City resulting from the City’s performance under

including the right of contribution for loss or damage to person or property arising from, growing

Exhibit A: Scope of Services
Water Conservation and Stormwater Direct Student Engagement Program (Program)
I. Purpose
Educate 5th grade students in the Bozeman Public School District on Bozeman’s watershed, the
importance of water conservation, and stormwater runoff and pollution through the implementation of
the Bozeman Water Conservation and Stormwater Management Educator Guide Curriculum.
II. Student Learning Objectives
• Knowledge in the main components of a watershed and how water moves within Bozeman’s
watershed;
• Understand major components of the Gallatin and Bozeman Municipal watersheds throughout
the year;
• Gather information on water use data to calculate, organize, and understand the importance of
implementing water conservation measures; and
• Understand how Bozeman’s stormwater distribution system works and factors that affect water
movement throughout the City.
III. Curriculum Description
• Seeing Bozeman’s Watershed:
o Students learn what a watershed is, describe how water flows in a watershed based on
elevation, and use maps to identify key parts and functions of watersheds in general and in
the Gallatin River and Bozeman Municipal Watersheds, specifically.
• Bozeman Home Water Investigation:
o Students discuss Bozeman water sources and water conservation concepts, conduct a
home water investigation, and compare and contrast results with and without the
implementation of water conservation practices. Students then make recommendations
for personal conservation strategies at home based on water and monetary savings.
• A Year in the Gallatin River Watershed:
o Students participate in a hands-on exercise to describe how water flows in their
watershed based on elevation and seasons.
• Stormwater Hike:
o Students are introduced to City urban watershed concepts and the Bozeman
stormwater distribution system through an investigation of water flow on their school
grounds.
• Adding Up Stormwater Pollution:
o Students demonstrate how runoff carries nonpoint source pollution into Bozeman’s
storm sewer system and ultimately into our waterways without going to a treatment
plant. Focus is on everyone’s contribution, group and individual action, the pollution of
water as it flows through the City of Bozeman and how it can be reduced.
