HomeMy WebLinkAboutIdentification of City Projects to be funded with HB645 Stimulus Funds Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Identification of City projects to be funded with HB645 Stimulus Dollars -
$129,000 remaining unallocated dollars.
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2009
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Identify projects to be funded with the City's HB645 allocation;
$129,000 remaining unallocated. Direct staff to make the necessary applications to carryout
construction of these projects.
BACKGROUND: The legislature's approval of HB645 includes an allocation of State
General Fund money (freed up by federal stimulus dollars) to the City of Bozeman for $621,000.
The money must be spent by September 30, 2010 or it reverts back to the State General Fund.
Due to this short timeframe, and the spirit of getting stimulus money "on the street" quickly, we
need to determine which projects the city will fund.
On August 31, 2009, the Commission designated the following projects and amounts, leaving $129,000
unallocated:
Projects Allocated Funding Amount
City Vehicle Maintenance Shop $277,000
ADA Pedestrian Ramp Improvements $90,000
Bogert Park Tennis/Basketball Courts $90,000
Bogert Park Sidewalk Replacement $35,000
Total Allocated to Date: $492,000
Total Un-Allocated to Date: $129,000
That night, the Commission directed staff to:
· Contact our local Tax Increment Districts for their input on spending the final $129,000, and
· Bring back additional information on spending the final $129,000 on a park restroom facility
or other park improvement on the northwest side of town.
The TIF”s were notified the following day and quickly turned around project ideas. Their proposed
projects are:

Total Requests $506,200
Full descriptions of each of these projects are attached. Most of the TIF projects include other sources of
funding, mostly TIF dollars, to supplement what would be provided by the HB645 money they are
requesting. The exception is the Downtown Bozeman Creek Project, which is conceptual at this point; a
budget would be created this winter. All of the projects appear to meet the requirements of the HB 645
Local Grant Program.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Identification of these projects will result in staff aggressively working
towards their completion, due to the September 2010 deadline. We will begin incurring costs
and contracting for any necessary design/planning work immediately. Receipt and spending of
this full allocation was included in the FY10 City Manager's Recommended Budget.
ALTERNATIVES: There are many alternatives for use of this allocation. We
originally based our recommendations on projects that had been included in the Adopted Capital
Improvements Plan for FY10-FY14 in the General Fund, and/or had posed recent funding
concerns. After the August 31 hearing, we cast the net wider by requesting project ideas from
our local Tax Increment District boards and further information from our Parks Department.

Summary
The Downtown Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Board is requesting $130,000.00 of funding from
the City of Bozeman federal stimulus monies for the infrastructure project described here within.
The Bridger Park Garage Connectivity Project would integrate the intermodal transportation
facility with downtown’s historic Main Street. By implementing the streetscape improvements
stipulated by the Downtown Streetscape Project and prioritized by the draft Downtown
Improvement Plan, safe and aesthetic pedestrian connectivity would be accomplished. To fully
realize the function and utility of the parking garage, the streetscapes along Tracy and Black
Avenue between Mendenhall and Main Street need to be improved.
Proposal
Context
The City of Bozeman’s Bridger Park Garage represents the single largest public infrastructure
project to be completed in downtown. The intent of constructing this multi-modal transportation
facility was to provide downtown with the infrastructure necessary to accommodate customers,
employees, residents and visitors with ample parking facilities and public transportation options.
The garage is strategically located just a block north of Main Street in the center of the
downtown district. The facility functions very well by providing flexible parking options and
convenient access to the Streamline Bus system. The commercial spaces flanking the building
are currently home to a variety of tenants that add critical vitality to the facility.
The Downtown TIF Board has completed the preliminary engineering of the Downtown
Streetscape Project. This public right-of-way project prescribes streetscape improvements
along the side streets leading to and from Main Street between Mendenhall and Babcock
Streets. The prescribed improvements emulate those implemented along Main Street in 2002
and include: new patterned sidewalks, historic street lamps, street trees, pedestrian benches,
bike racks and trash receptacles.
A primary objective of the draft Downtown Improvement Plan is implementing the Downtown
Streetscape Project. These improvements will provide critical connectivity north and south
throughout the downtown district. Having consistent, safe pedestrian corridors leading to and
from Main Street will promote infill and redevelopment along Mendenhall and Babcock Streets.
Existing Problems
The primary problem with the Bridger Park Garage is the pedestrian corridors along Tracy and
Black Avenue connecting the facility to Main Street. While the streetscapes adjacent to the
garage match those prescribed for the downtown district by the Downtown Streetscape Project,
the remaining sections of the streetscapes leading to and from Main Street are in need of
improvement. In addition to broken and crumbling sidewalk concrete, the unimproved sections
lack pedestrian amenities such as sidewalk lighting, street trees, benches, bike racks and trash
receptacles.
Opportunities
The Bridger Park Garage Connectivity Project is a win-win situation for the City of Bozeman and
downtown. If awarded, the City of Bozeman stimulus funding will be leveraged with Downtown
TIF monies in excess of the requested $130,000.00. This project would improve a section of
207
public right-of-way adjacent to the City of Bozeman public parking lot on Black Avenue. The
project would create safe, aesthetic pedestrian corridors and initiate the Downtown Streetscape
Project. The funding and subsequent completion of this project would commence a primary
objective of the Downtown Improvement Plan.
Timeline
If awarded the requested funding, the Downtown TIF Board would immediately initiate the
project on the following schedule:
October-November 2009 Complete final engineering and design
December 2009 Release an RFP for construction bids
January 2010 Award Construction contract
June-August 2010 Construction
September 2010 Project Completed
Budget
For the purpose of the proposal, costs have been estimated. Actual 2010 construction costs
may vary. The TIF Board would be responsible for paying all costs above and beyond the
requested City of Bozeman funding of $130,000.00.
Funding
City of Bozeman Stimulus Funds $ 130,000.00
Downtown TIF Funds and Property Owner Contributions $ 172,100.00
Total Funding $ 302,100.00
Costs

ISSUES
Lack of Vitality on Key Streets Currently, Main Street defines downtown’s identity because of
its continuous block pattern lined with a mix of active street level shops, cafes and restaurants.
Other key thoroughfares, furniture varies throughout downtown. Some areas are appealing,
while many others do not encourage and support getting around on foot. The lack of a
coordinated level of street design compromises the ability to establish a cohesive district
identity.
Connections and Wayfinding Parts of downtown feel disconnected from one another. For
example, downtown houses a variety of arts and cultural facilities that is not evident on the
street to a visitor. Connections need to be strengthened so that the parts can add up to a
stronger and more accessible whole.
[page 10, Draft Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan]
OPPORTUNITIES
Complete Streets Most streets downtown are in need of improvements. Design streets to make
it safe, easy and enjoyable to get around on foot and bicycle. “Complete Streets” is a
transportation and planning concept that provides for all modes of use.
[page 11, Draft Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan]
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
All streets and sidewalks in downtown should be designed to make the experience of
pedestrians and bicyclists safe, comfortable and visually appealing.
[page 12, Draft Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan]
COMPLETE SIDE STREET ENHANCEMENTS
Completing the side street enhancements that have already been developed for downtown, The
Downtown Streetscape Project, will help to strengthen the connection between downtown and
surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, by making those streets more pleasant places to be,
the businesses along those side streets will benefit from increased foot traffic as people are
drawn onto the auxiliary streets along Main Street.

TIF Downtown Streetscape Project Overview
DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
An Infrastructure Project to Enhance Pedestrian Access and Safety
in Bozeman Montana’s Historic Downtown Commercial District
prepared by Chris Naumann, Executive Director
Downtown Bozeman Partnership
SUMMARY
The Downtown Streetscape Project would implement pedestrian improvements along 31
block faces in Bozeman, Montana’s historic downtown district. The proposed streetscape
improvements included: new patterned sidewalks and curbs; new historic street lamps, trash
receptacles, pedestrian benches and bike racks; plus the addition of dozens of trees.
The project would emulate the pedestrian standards established by the “Complete
Streets” design concept. The Downtown Streetscape Project improvements would greatly
increase pedestrian access and safety as residents, employees and visitors walk to and from
the neighborhoods, parks, schools and public parking facilities north and south of Main Street.
Street design that is inclusive of all modes of transportation, where appropriate, not only
improves conditions for existing businesses, but also is a proven method for revitalizing an area
and attracting new development.
The Downtown Tax Increment Finance Board has funded the completion of the
preliminary engineering for the Downtown Streetscape Project. Final design, construction and
implementation costs are estimated to exceed $5 million. The TIF district, City of Bozeman and
downtown property owners will need funding assistance to begin and complete this
comprehensive public infrastructure project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
By definition, downtowns are compact, mixed-use, walkable communities. In many
regards, a downtown is truly defined by its transportation system. A balanced transportation
system that includes complete streets can bolster economic growth and stability by providing
accessible and efficient connections between residences, schools, parks, public transportation,
offices, and retail destinations.
The 1998 Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan recognized that the district is fortunate
that it is central within the community, its shape and size are conducive to strolling, it has good
access streets, and it is within walking and cycling distance of a sizeable population. However,
it does have shortcomings, particularly with respect to easy pedestrian access.
As acknowledged by the 1998 Improvement Plan, the sidewalks along Main Street and
its side streets are old, many from the 1930s, and are in fair to poor condition lacking any
special surface treatments or amenities. In 2002 the Main Street Streetscape project was
completed between Grand and Rouse Avenues. The improvements made along Main Street’s
sidewalks included: new patterned sidewalks and curbs; new historic street lamps, trash
receptacles, pedestrian benches and bike racks; plus the addition of dozens of trees. The result
was a beautiful streetscape that not only improved pedestrian access but encouraged bicycle
use while complementing downtown’s historic urban design.
The proposed Downtown Streetscape Project prescribes the extension of the Main Street
streetscape further east along Main Street and along its side streets. The project would
implement the following improvements: new patterned sidewalks and curbs; new historic street
lamps, trash receptacles, pedestrian benches and bike racks; plus the addition of dozens of
trees. Once completed, the project would improve both sides of Main Street from Rouse to
Wallace Avenues in addition to the north side of Main Street from 3rd Avenue to Grand.
Improvements would also be made on the following side streets between Mendenhall and
Babcock Streets: Grand, Willson, Tracy, Black, Bozeman, Rouse, and Church. This is an
ambitious project triple the scale and scope of the original 2002 Main Street project.
The primary purpose of the Downtown Streetscape Improvement Project would be to
improve pedestrian access throughout Bozeman’s historic downtown district. Emphasis would
be placed on providing safe, well-lit sidewalks with to provide pedestrians a variety of amenities.
The Downtown Streetscape Improvement Project incorporates aspects of a “complete
streets” network. Creating infrastructure for non-motorized transportation can improve
economic conditions for both business owners and residents. A network of complete streets is
more safe and appealing to residents and visitors, which is also good for retail and commercial
development. Street design that is inclusive of all modes of transportation, where appropriate,
not only improves conditions for existing businesses, but also is a proven method for revitalizing
an area and attracting new development. Complete streets also bolster the economy by
increasing property values.
A note as of the 1st of June 2009:
Due to the recession and all of the recent construction activity downtown, the TIF is not pursuing
implementation of this project. For the time being, the TIF is looking to facilitate the
implementation of these streetscape improvements by work with property owners that are
undertaking site improvements. Therefore, the TIF anticipates certain block faces will be
212
improved as individual projects are completed. At some point in the coming years, a larger
implementation effort could be initiated to improve the remaining block faces, but the TIF does
not foresee such a large scale project occurring for several years.
Assistance Currently Available
The TIF can provide logistical and limited financial assistance to property owners making
streetscape improvements.
1. The TIF will provide all of the engineering work done to date to any property owner within
the project area.
2. The TIF has compiled a library of technical specifications regarding the streetlamp and
other street hardware components.
3. The TIF is developing a Streetlamp Assistance Program that will provide up to 15%
matching funds for streetlamp purchase and installation as part of a complete streetscape
improvement project within the downtown area.
4. The TIF will purchase and place trash receptacles, benches, and bike racks upon the
completion of any streetscape improvements.

North Seventh Avenue Sidewalk Improvements
A. Project Background:
The North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (The Board) is proposing to use funds allocated by
House Bill 645 to make significant improvements to pedestrian safety and connectivity along
N 7th Avenue. Prior to the availability of this funding, the Board retained engineering
services to help with
implementation of the North
Seventh Design and Connectivity
Plan that is the basis for the
creation of the North Seventh
TIF district. The engineering
consultant preformed an initial
site assessment of the N 7th
corridor and worked with the
Board to establish priorities based on the
primary goal of improving pedestrian safety
and connectivity. The top priority for the
corridor is the completion of the sidewalk
network along N 7th Avenue. There are vital
areas where the sidewalk is completely
missing. It is the priority of the Board to fill
in these missing pieces and provide a
complete and safe pedestrian connection
from Main Street to the Interstate. A major
impediment to the completion of this goal is
the lack of Right of Way that exists along N
7th Ave. In many cases, the right of way
does not exist to complete the sidewalk
network with out easement from the
property owners. The N 7th Board views
their work along the corridor and with in the
TIF District as a cooperative effort with the
property owners and residents. The Board is
therefore working with the property owners
to obtain easements for this needed work.
The Board feels strongly that the connectivity and safety issues that will be addressed with their
proposed work are a high priority with in the city. Recent developments regarding accessibility ramps
and curbs with in the city seems to demonstrate a consensus regarding the importance of these issues
with all city residents. The Bozeman Bicycles and Pedestrian committee has recently spent significant
time discussing how a sidewalk program could be re-instituted in Bozeman. Additionally the recently
updated Bozeman Area Transportation Plan contains and entire section devoted to pedestrian and other
non motorized transportation methods. Many community members have recently organized a group to
promote the idea of connection all the communities in Gallatin County via paths allowing for multiple
methods of non-motorize travel. Again and again the residents of the Bozeman community have placed
a high priority on pedestrian connectivity.
223
North Seventh Avenue Sidewalk Improvements
B. Project Need:
North 7th Avenue is home to many businesses including a large hospitality district and numerous
restaurants that serve many out of town guests. The N 7th corridor is a vital commercial corridor in the
City of Bozeman. In addition, the N 7th corridor is bordered by many residential neighborhoods. Current
pedestrian connectivity, safety and permeability of the corridor are severely limited by the lack of a
complete network of sidewalks. In addition to significant areas of missing sidewalk, there are many
accessibility issues at the intersections with ramps either missing or not compliant with the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The N 7th corridor is an area where
Bozeman residents go for work as well as
for entertainment and shopping. Many
residents like or need to visit the
businesses of N 7th with out the use of a
car. Under the current conditions, this is a
dangerous proposition, especially in the
winter months. The Streamline bus
system has improved the accessibility to
the corridor for those with out access to a
car, but provides limited accessibility
along the corridor. There is a critical need
to provide a complete and safe pedestrian
network along N 7th Avenue.
C. Project Benefits:
The most obvious benefit of this project is the improved pedestrian safety provided by completion of the
sidewalk network. There are also potential immediate and long-term economic benefits. Many visitors
to Bozeman may overlook the opportunities along N 7th if they are forced into their car at the hotel.
Improving pedestrian connectivity has been shown to significantly improve patronage of adjacent
businesses. A complete and safe pedestrian network along N 7th will provide residents and guests with
an opportunity to safely explore all that N 7th has to offer. This increased patronage will have significant
economic affects in the long term. This project therefore fits ideally with the goals of the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) as it provides investment in our transportation infrastructure, it
will immediately provide jobs for local designers, contractors and suppliers and it will act to stimulate
long term economic growth along the N 7th corridor and encourage private sector investment.
224
North Seventh Avenue Sidewalk Improvements
D. Project Participation:
Another significant benefit of the proposed project is the opportunity to leverage several different
funding sources and to encourage community investment. The North Seventh Urban Renewal District is
committed to the long term viability and economic growth of the N 7th corridor and the entire TIF
District. The Board has already applied for funding through the Energy Efficiency Community Block
Grant program to install a Streamline Bus shelter on N 7th Avenue. They will be investing Big Box
Funds and TIF funds along the corridor and applying for CTEP funding to ensure that the needed
pedestrian safety and connectivity improvements are completed. The opportunity to utilize this broad
spectrum of funding mechanisms is a good fit with the intent of the HB 645 funding. As with all ARRA
funding, it is viewed as beneficial when this federal money can be combined with state and local funding
to increase the impacts. Additionally this project will involve the individual property owners by asking
them to participate by giving the easements that are required to allow the installation of the missing
sidewalk sections. The proposed project
joins federal, state, private, and local funds
to bring increased impact. It provides an
opportunity for many to benefit from
community cooperation.
E. Project Costs:
The Board is aware of the variety of needs
and proposals for projects around the city
that are eligible for the HB 645 funding
and is therefore proposing an approach
that would allow for funding portions of
the improvements or the entirety of these
critical improvements. While it is critical
that all the proposed improvements be made in order to provide a complete sidewalk from Main Street
to the Interstate, the Board has envisioned it in several pieces that could be funded through alternate
means if the City Commission sees other priorities that need to share the HB 645 funding. The
following is a list of possible pieces which this project could be broken into. Budget numbers for each
alternate is provided in the following section.
1. North 7th Avenue Sidewalk Infill – East Side. This is the basis of this project
and would at the bare minimum provide a completed sidewalk from Main Street to the
Interstate along the east side of N 7th. This would include the construction of sidewalk in
the locations where sidewalk is currently completely missing. This base project would
not address existing ADA ramp compliance issues except at locations of new sidewalk.
Cost: $78,107.50
2. North 7th Avenue ADA Compliance – East Side. Funding of this portion of the
project would provide for upgrading of all ADA ramps between Durston Road and the
Interstate so they would be fully compliant with current ADA Guidelines.
Cost: $18,750.00
225
North Seventh Avenue Sidewalk Improvements
3. North 7th and Oak Street- N
7th right of way. Funding of this
portion of the project is dedicated to
making improvements within the
right of way of N 7th Ave at the
northwest corner of the intersection
with Oak Street. (Scrubby’s) This
includes construction of the sidewalk
from the intersection north to match
in with existing sidewalk to the north
as well as construction of the ADA
ramps at the intersection.
Cost: $38,255.00
4. North 7th and Oak Street- Oak St. Funding this portion of the project provides for
the connection of the improvements at the intersection with the shared use path that
extends to the east beginning in front of the Days Inn.
Cost: $8,360.00

of the Board to apply for CTEP funding to continue the needed improvements to
pedestrian safety and connectivity along the N 7th corridor.
G. Implementation Schedule:
Each recipient must submit an implementation schedule that describes the overall
schedule for project completion. Regarding the implementation schedule please be
aware that HB 645 provides states:
A recipient of funds under this section must expend the funds by September 30,
2010. Unexpended funds must revert to the state and be deposited in the state
general fund.
The North Seventh Urban Renewal Board recognizes and acknowledges the
schedule required by HB 645 and commits to an implementation schedule that
will ensure expenditure of these funds by September 30, 2010.

Contingency 10% $ 9,311.00
Project Total $ 102,421.00
Current Conditions: To date the Park has undergone terrain modifications, a well installation
with power, a limited irrigation system, trees, construction of a trail through the park with
bridges, and a Disc Golf course, complete with baskets and concrete tee pads. There is an area
off of Tschache Lane that is being used for parking. This area is dirt and gravel with no
delineation or drainage.
228

Benefits of Funding this Project: The City of Bozeman’s 2007 PROST (Parks, Recreation, Open
Space and Trails) Plan recognizes that many of the parks in the northwest area of town,
particularly north of W. Babcock, are not yet developed. In fact, PROST listed completion of
Rose Park as one of the top 10 capital facility recommendations. It also reports that Bozeman
was not providing any Disc Golf opportunities at the time of the report and noted a high
demand for that type of service. The Bozeman UDO requires parking lots and that they be
developed to the level we are proposing.
The project includes required paving, curb and gutter, detention drainage area, irrigation and
well, power for the well, landscaping and lighting. By developing a parking lot with entrances
and curbing we will dramatically improve the safety for those using the park and more
effectively utilize the area available.
