Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
FY14-18.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
MEETING DATE: November 26, 2012
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) for FY14-18.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the City Manager is required to prepare a 5 Year Capital
Improvements Plan and submit it to the Commission by December 15th. Staff met in November
to develop the attached draft schedules.
The Wastewater Fund CIP tracks the capital equipment replacements and construction projects
for Wastewater Operations (collection system) and the Water Reclamation Facility.
The largest change to the schedule is the desire to fund the WW29 – Energy Recovery (Methane
Co-Generation) Project, beginning in FY14 with design/engineering work. It is believed that
that project will yield operational savings after a relatively short pay-back period.
These levels of capital expenditure are in line with our adopted rate models.
327
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. If the Commission is does
not wish to adopt this schedule tonight, it can be scheduled for approval on a later agenda.
FISCAL EFFECTS: This step in the process has no fiscal effect. Once adopted, the
Capital Improvements Plan becomes the basis of the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for
FY14.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The construction of the new Vehicle Maintenance Shop at the Lower Yards on Rouse Avenue in FY10/FY11 was Phase I in
expanding and improving our ability to service equipment, store vehicles, and provide work space for Public Works, Parks, and
Facilitiy services. Questions remain about the long-term plan for construction, location, and expansion for: Streets, Sign & Signal,
Forestry, Water/Sewer Operations, Solid Waste Collection & Recycling, Facilities, and Parks & Cemetery departments. This
project would develop a master plan. In scheduling this project, we are recommending waiting until after the Vehicle Maintenance
Division is relocated to its new shop and the interior improvements are made to the Shop at Rouse and Tamarack Street for the
remaining divisions.

FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
FY12: Replaces a 2000 1-ton truck with a hoist. At the time of replacement, this truck will be 11 years old. Replaces a 2004 Ford
F250, asset #3232. At the time of replacement, this truck will be over 10 years old. While this vehicle is only 10 years old, its not
big enough to properly function as a service truck; very limited carrying capacity. It will be passed down to another department
for continued use within the city. These trucks are used daily in both water and sewer operations to transport personnel and
equipment. The existing truck will not be traded in; it will be utilized as a back-up vehicle when needed.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Keep the truck and spend maintenance dollars to have truck serviceable.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Advantages to the City for approving this request include savings on fuel and emissions. The new vehicles will improve safety of
crews, there would be lower repair costs and it would help maintain current operations levels.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Replacement of the City’s Flusher Vac Truck. This flusher vac truck is used daily to excavate around critical infrastructure i.e.
fiber optics, gas, and electric lines in addition to flushing and vacuuming sewer mains. At time of replacement, this truck will be
approximately 10 years old. The existing truck will be sold at auction.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to use older vehicle which will be costly to maintain.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Increased reliability and safety for staff and wastewater operations. This piece of equipment eliminates costly repairs because we
can avoid hitting utilities with a hoe and utilize the vacuum instead.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating and Maintenance Costs: Operating and repair costs are expected to be lower than the existing vehicle.

Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Develop a comprehensive, multi-year watershed study and computer model for the East Gallatin River which would enable the
City and DEQ to better determine stream load allocations and develop a more scientifically valid TMDL for the river segment we
discharge to. This will require annual field sample collection, laboratory analytical work and detailed computer modeling using
calibrated data. This multi-year study would consist of $45,000 in consulting and computer modeling fees for at least two fiscal
years (FY14 and FY15) and stream sampling/lab fees of $15,000 each year. Craig recommends we should be prepared to
continue this work beyond FY15 as necessary.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Not undertake this work and risk having to accept the TMDL and waste load allocations the DEQ has proposed in their original
draft documents. This decision could greatly limit our ability to appeal future nutrient limitations and could result in non-
compliance.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
This watershed study will greatly enhance the City’s understand of our impact on the East Gallatin River and enable us to more
successfully negotiate future permit limitations with the DEQ.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
None, unless additional stream sampling is desired in subsequent years.

DESIGN PHASE II - WRF PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
FY14 FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
$5,230,000
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
In January 2006 Morrison & Maierle Consulting Engineers completed a comprehensive Wastewater Facilities Plan. The plan
recommends the City proceed with a 3-phased project schedule that includes the construction of the new Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF), capable of handling our increased flows while also reducing the amount of Total Nitrogen discharged to the East
Gallatin River. Phase two is expected to include one new primary clarifier, more BNR reactor basins, clarifiers, tertiary
membrane filtration, liquid sludge storage tanks, anaerobic digestion, and an effluent re-use pumping station. The capacity
expanding (impact fee eligible) elements are: bioreactor basins, clarifiers, and pumping station. It is possible that this phase of the
project could be further divided into phase 2A and phase 2B, if necessary.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
A variety of treatment technologies and alternatives are presented in the January 2006 Wastewater Facilities Plan.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Major capital expansion of the Bozeman WRF will enable the City to meet its estimated demand for wastewater services and still
produce a high quality effluent that is in full compliance with the City’s MPDES discharge permit. Expansion of the Bozeman WRF
is consistent with the City’s long-term need to accommodate rapid growth and economic development in the Gallatin Valley.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: no estimates at this time.
FUNDING SOURCES
Total Design Cost: $5,230,000. We estimate the majority of the project costs are related to regulation and maintenance issues
and would be borne by the Utility Fund. Half are related to capacity expansion, and would be borne by Impact Fees. 50%

Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Consistent with the goals of the City’s Climate Action Plan & Sustainability Programs, the Bozeman WRF staff and Public Works
Director recommend we move forward with our proposed investigation and installation of a methane recovery and co-
generation system. This system will produce an average of 175 kW of electricity and 974,000 BTU/hour of thermal output using
a generator powered entirely by WRF digester gas. This project has the potential to save the City at least $180,000 in electricity
costs and substantially lower the carbon footprint of the new Bozeman WRF. This project would be implemented in 3 phases
including (1) a feasibility / cost effectiveness study, (2) project engineering / design and (3) the purchase and installation of
appropriate technology for the co-generation of electricity at the Bozeman WRF. FY14: Project Feasibility Study. FY15:
Project Engineering Design. FY16 Equipment Purchase and Installation
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to flare our digester methane gas. Micro-turbines and fuel-cells have been analysed and continue to be possible
alternative energy recovery technologies for this project. Our research to date suggests the most proven technology currently
available to help us accomplish our energy recovery goals is likely to be a GE Jenbacher internal combustion engine and heat
recovery system.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Current plant waste gases will be captured and utilized to reduce plant operating costs. The project has an estimated net dollar
savings of $230,000 per year. It supports the City's Municipal Climate Action Plan goals.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Once construction is funded, this project results in an estimated net dollar SAVINGS of $230,000/year.

REPLACE DIGESTER MIXERS
FY14
$42,000
FY15 FY16 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Bozeman WRF needs to replace two defective/failing digester mixers. This equipment is essential to the operation of the
existing anaerobic digesters. These digesters contain a total of 4 draft tube mixers, two of which have already been replaced.
Our plan would be to purchase one replacement mixer in FY13 and the final one in FY14. The new EIMCO draft tube mixers
will replace the defective OTI micers we are currently using. Our original OTI mixers have been plagued with multiple bearing
failures, seal failures, oil lubrication system failures and almost constant propeller fouling. There are currently only two mixer
manufactureers in the world that manufacture this type of draft tube mixer. Therefore, in order to replace these defective OTI
mixers, we must order our replacement mixers from a sole source vendor. This vendor is EIMCO Technologies, in Salt Lake
City. They are the only manufacturer capable of fabricating a replacement mixer which will mount directly to our existing
digester draft tubes. EIMCO model #RDT-V 7.5 Hp mixer assembly. Installed project cost for each: $41,000.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to remove, disassemble and rebuild our defective mixers annually. This is not cost-effective and is not a sustainable
option. The annual cost to rebuild one unit is approximately $15,000 plus extensive staff time.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Digester methane which is currently wasted will be captured and utilized to reduce plant operating costs. The project has an
estimated net dollar savings of between $180,000 and $230,000 per year. This project fully supports the City's Municipal Climate
Action Plan goals.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Once construction is funded, this project will result in an estimated net dollar SAVINGS of at least $180,000 per year.
