REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dustin Johnson, Development Review Engineer
Craig Woolard, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution 4483, Amending Fiscal year 2014 Street Maintenance Fund
Budget for Block M Development’s Installation of Public Infrastructure
for the Purpose of Promoting Infill within the Downtown Core; Providing
a $39,470 Cost-Share to the Development
MEETING DATE: October 14, 2013
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the packet materials, considered public comment,
and considered all of the information presented, I hereby approve Resolution 4483, amending
fiscal year 2014 street maintenance fund budget for Block M Development’s installation of public infrastructure for the purpose of promoting infill within the downtown core; providing a $39,470 Cost-Share to the Development.
BACKGROUND: In the spring of 2013 the City of Bozeman began discussions with a private
developer who was interested in redeveloping a block in the downtown core into residential
infill. The development is called Block M and is bound by East Lamme, North Black, East Beall, and North Tracy. Prior to this development there were three single family houses located on the east half of the block and the west half sat vacant.
The development intends to scrape the site clean and construct two sets of 10 vertical duplexes.
The project meets the commission’s goal of residential infill within the downtown core. Early in
the process City staff saw this project as an ideal candidate to explore alternative incentive programs to better promote residential infill near downtown.
Early discussions among city staff and the developer focused on the replacement of the
surrounding public infrastructure. Specifically, asphalt and curb/gutter were tabbed as pieces of
infrastructure that the City could partner with the developer to have replaced.
With infill projects located in areas of deficient asphalt or curb/gutter, the developer has been responsible for the demolition and replacement of the asphalt and curb/gutter. Typically, this results in patched infrastructure (i.e., pavement patches, curb patches) that ultimately degrade the
level of service provided. Public Works has proposed a partnership where the developer of
Block M and the City split the costs of the complete replacement of asphalt and curb/gutter.
Adoption of this budget amendment will provide the development and surrounding
neighborhood with new infrastructure in conjunction with the increased housing density.
The developers of Block M have provided an estimate from their contractor. The reimbursable
infrastructure being replaced includes: removal and replacement of 980 linear feet of curb/gutter, two standard curb inlets, removal and replacement of 17,780 square feet of asphalt, and two standard drive approaches. The total invoice from their contractor for these items totals $78,941.
The City Engineering Department has reviewed their quantities and unit prices, and everything
provided is reasonable. Splitting this cost with the City 50-50 brings to total reimbursement to
$39,470.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: NONE
ALTERNATIVES: As recommended by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The Streets and Curb Replacement Capital Improvements budget would
be amended to include the $39,470 reimbursement to the developers of Block M.
