Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
Mitch Overton, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Determination of Location and Potential Partnership for a New Bozeman
Community Aquatics Center and Direction to Proceed with Design
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Direct the City Manager to negotiate a partnership agreement with the YMCA and proceed with the design of a new joint aquatics and
recreation facility on Vaquero Parkway.
PROPOSED MOTIONS (Depending on Commission Direction):
Option 1 – Partnership with YMCA at Vaquero Parkway: Having considered public comment and the information presented by staff, I hereby direct the
City Manager to develop a partnership agreement with the YMCA and proceed with the
development of a joint facility at the Vaquero Site and to complete all steps necessary to design and prepare the project for Commission approval. Option 2 – Partnership with YMCA at Rose Park:
Having considered public comment and the information presented by staff, I hereby direct the
City Manager to develop a partnership agreement with the YMCA and proceed with the development of a joint facility at Rose Park and to complete all steps necessary to design and prepare the project for Commission approval.
Option 3 – Standalone Aquatics Center at Rose Park:
Having considered public comment and the information presented by staff, I hereby select Rose Park as the desired location for the City’s new aquatics center and direct the City Manager to complete all steps necessary to design and prepare the project for Commission approval.
BACKGROUND: On December 9, 2013, the Commission considered an agenda item that
identified three potential locations for a new aquatics center. The Commission took public
comment, reviewed the November MacArthur, Means & Wells Report, considered the information and directed staff to do four things: 1) Continue conversations with the YMCA to
more fully analyze potential partnerships at Vaquero Parkway and Rose Park; 2) Provide for
expansion options in any proposed location; 3) Further analyze the YMCA’s non-compete clause
Page 2 of 7
in future discussions, and; 4) Gain further understanding of any building site issues (high
groundwater, etc.) at Vaquero and Rose Park. Since the December 9 Commission meeting, we have had many productive conversations with
the YMCA and our respective architects to more thoroughly explore opportunities for
partnership. In those discussions we have analyzed the specifics of site layout and parking
requirements at the Vaquero Parkway site and Rose Park. This memo contains the results of our work.
As the Commission identified, there are several important benefits to a City/YMCA partnership.
Primary is that the right partnership would provide the community with a full-service recreation
and aquatics center located in the fast-growing West end. As with any partnership, there are
potential risks associated with giving up levels of control necessary to equalize relationships. While none of these appear to be deal breakers, we want to ensure the Commission is aware of the potential for cost increases should the YMCA capital campaign not materialize as planned.
Increased costs could include, but may not be limited to, requiring the City to fund the
construction of all the site improvements, parking areas, water/sewer utilities, and the street
construction. These same costs will be similar to those borne by the City should we choose to build a standalone facility. Additionally, a draft partnership agreement has not been completed and will require significant legal and finance department work to complete.
It is important to note that the Commission has not determined what will be built, or how the
project could be phased. We have taken Commission direction that we include future expansion
options and have included amenities and facility elements we believe should be included in a full-service community aquatics project. Once a site has been determined, staff and consultants
will begin site specific design and a public process to gain input. Certainly the Commission can
adjust the programming as we move forward and we will be back in front of the Commission for
specific approval.
YMCA- Ridge non-compete agreement. The YMCA’s Executive Director and their Board has stated on several occasions, and for the record, that they will either have a new agreement in place at the time of construction or be in compliance with the non-compete agreement. So, for
the purposes of this analysis we have not considered that a limiting factor in our discussions.
YMCA-Gallatin County MOU. On May 27, the County Commission approved a memorandum
of understanding (MOU) with the YMCA (see exhibit 1). The MOU modifies their lease agreement by reducing their leased land from approximately 16 acres to 4.7 acres, includes the
YMCA land in the park master plan, and provides a parking area North of the YMCA property.
The MOU also states that the area labeled Vaquero Shared Parking shall be developed as
necessary for additional parking that may be required by a city aquatics facility.
THE THREE OPTIONS IDENTIFIED BY OUR DISCUSSIONS ARE:
Option #1 - Partnership with the YMCA at Vaquero Parkway. The YMCA’s property next to the County Regional Park is a 7 acre site adjacent to county-owned land leased by the YMCA for future athletic field development and, through an agreement with Gallatin
County, provides adequate parking for a shared-use facility as well as space for YMCA athletic
fields.
Page 3 of 7
Benefits of partnering with the YMCA at Vaquero may include:
• Community gets a full service recreation and aquatics facility through a public/private partnership in the fast growing West end
• Location at Regional Park allows YMCA to construct its sports fields adjacent to their
recreation center
• Community has access to several recreational opportunities at one location with adjacency to the Regional Park
• No cost property to construct facility – Y provides 99 year lease for $1
• Shared construction, operations and maintenance costs
• Collaborative approach to educating public on bond issue
Drawbacks may include:
• Complicated construction, phasing and payback agreements
• Possibility of differing timeframes for fund raising, bond approval
• Differing construction timeframes would result in increased upfront costs for the party
building first as they would need to construct the entire shared use portion of the facility
• Reliance on Gallatin County for parking agreement
• Some parking farther away than ideal
• Expansion limited to what is planned in the initial design
Partnership with YMCA at Vaquero Parkway
Site Considerations
See page 13/14 Site Feasibility Report – Exhibit B
• Long-term, no cost lease – the YMCA owns seven acres
• Site currently undeveloped – Greenfield
• High ground water will increase construction costs, but are not
significantly different than what we would incur at Rose Park
• Requires a parking agreement with Gallatin County
• Will allow the YMCA to construct its athletic fields adjacent to its recreation center
• The aquatics facility as shown will require approximately 211
parking spaces
Partnership A successful partnership will require a binding and detailed agreement outlining the lease, operations, payback, condominium,
and construction manager agreements. Additionally, as public
money is being used to construct the facility, we would need to
agree on design, bidding and bid-award processes as well as
construction management services that comply with Montana code.
Required Infrastructure Vaquero Parkway would need to be constructed with the required
water/sewer extension. The possibility exists to provide diagonal
on-street parking to reduce on-site parking requirements by 58
spaces.

Expansion
Opportunities
The schematic site plans included show a full-service community
aquatics facility including indoor and outdoor elements with expansion areas designated. The City portion of the project as
shown, including 11 accessible parking spaces, requires
approximately 3.1 acres of the 7 acre site.
Comparative Costs The joint project as proposed on Vaquero would cost $212,675 more
than building it at Rose Park due mainly to increased infrastructure costs and site constraints.
The water table and soil conditions present at Vaquero are similar in
nature to Rose Park.
Option #2 - Partnership with YMCA at Rose Park. Rose Park is a 20.5 acre
dedicated City park located near 27th Avenue between Tschache Lane and Oak Street. The park is home to the City’s only disc golf park. Much of the park acreage is designated wetland and
floodplain.
Benefits of partnering with YMCA at Rose Park may include:
• Community gets a full service recreation and aquatics facility through a public/private
partnership in the fast growing West end
• Shared construction, operations and maintenance costs
• Collaborative approach to educating public on bond issue
• Least expensive of the three options presented (relocation of disc golf notwithstanding)
• Current ownership by the City – no County parking agreement necessary
• Property is already utilized for park and recreation purposes and centrally located
• Largest of the two sites allowing room for all the requirements of the aquatics project and
the YMCA without relying on adjacent owners (4 acres remaining). The disc golf course
would need to be relocated in this scenario
• City could complete deferred Rose Park infrastructure build out (sidewalks, parking,
restrooms, 25th St.) with this project
Drawbacks may include:
• Possibility of differing timeframes for fund raising, bond approval
• Differing construction timeframes would result in increased upfront costs for the party
building first as they would need to construct the entire shared use portion of the facility
• Complicated construction, phasing and payback agreements
• Site is of insufficient size to contain the proposed recreation and aquatics building, the
required parking, the YMCA’s athletic fields and the disc golf course
• Expansion limited to what is planned in the initial design
Page 5 of 7
Partnership with YMCA at Rose Park
Site Considerations
See page 15/16 Site Feasibility Report – Exhibit B
• The City currently owns the 20.5 acre property
• High groundwater will increase construction costs, but are not
significantly different than what we would incur at Vaquero
• Designated wetlands would need to be moved and/or reconfigured and limit the buildable areas of the property
Partnerships A successful partnership will require a binding and detailed
agreement outlining the lease, operations, payback, condominium,
and construction manager agreements. Additionally, as public money is being used to construct the facility, we would need to
agree on design, bidding and bid-award processes as well as
construction management services that comply with Montana code.
Possibility to share costs of 25th Ave. construction with the
Fellowship Baptist Church.
Required Infrastructure • 25th Avenue would need to be constructed (possibly shared with
Fellowship Baptist Church)
• Possibly a traffic signal installed at 27th and Oak
Expansion Opportunities As the City owns the entire 20.5 acres, this site provides the best opportunities for unplanned expansion.
Comparative Costs The water table and soil conditions present at Rose Park are similar
in nature to Vaquero.
Option #3 - City Only Aquatics Facility at Rose. This option considers the City
moves forward on its own with constructing a full-service aquatics facility at Rose Park. Benefits may include:
• Project is entirely under City. This option has the least risk due to partnership issues
• Property is of adequate size to contain City-only aquatics facility, parking and disc golf on deeded land
• Could include City’s portion of 25th and other required infrastructure construction in
bond issue. Drawbacks may include:
• Aquatics-only facility; community does not gain a multi-use recreation center
• Miss out on community’s support for a joint project
• City is entirely responsible for all design, operation and maintenance costs
Page 6 of 7
City Only Aquatics Facility at Rose Park
Site Considerations
See page 17/18 Site Feasibility Report – Exhibit B
• City park currently owned by City
• Wetlands and borrow piles will have to be mitigated to
accommodate development
• Site of adequate size for aquatics facility, parking and disc golf course
Partnership None – City only facility
We would work with Fellowship Baptist Church to construct North
25th Avenue and possible shared parking.
Required Infrastructure • 25th Avenue would need to be constructed (possibly shared with
Fellowship Baptist Church)
• May require a traffic signal be installed at 27th and Oak
Expansion Opportunities Full-service aquatics facility could be built with all required parking provided on-site. The project could be designed so an indoor
recreation facility could be added in the future.
Comparative Costs Most expensive option; preliminary analysis shows this would cost
$551,225 more to develop as there would be no shared site
development or facility costs.
The water table and soil conditions present at Rose Park are similar
in nature to the Vaquero site.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:
Bogert Pool. The future of aquatics at Bogert Pool has been an ongoing conversation. In
accordance with Commission direction to keep Bogert Pool open until a new facility is
constructed, we have replaced the boiler, reconfigured the drains to be compliant with federal
law, and performed routine maintenance to prepare for this year’s opening. There is at least one
group working to build support to maintain a swimming pool in the park and we are engaged in those discussions.
YMCA/City PartnershipAgreement. Should the Commission direct staff to proceed with the
YMCA on the design and construction of a joint facility, our first action will be to conduct due
diligence on the property and, if acceptable, formalize an agreement to be approved by the YMCA and City Commission.
ALTERNATIVES: The Commission could direct staff to pursue other locations not
discussed in this memo, or investigate other opportunities for partnerships, although none have
been identified through previous discussions.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The City’s FY14 budget contains $125,000 for preliminary design and
site analysis. On August 26, 2013, the Commission allocated $225,000 from the fiscal year 2014
budget originally planned for a splash park to the City’s general fund reserve with the direction that staff return to the Commission for further authorization should the funds be needed for
Page 7 of 7
aquatic facility design. The FY15 City Manager’s Recommended Budget contains $225,000 to
continue the aquatics design process should it receive Commission approval. As discussed above, the Commission has not reviewed nor approved a specific project recommendation, or how the project may be phased. Preliminary cost estimates for the entire aquatics project as
shown at full build out range from $13.5M to $17M depending primarily on the size and
configuration of the indoor pools

Bozeman Indoor/Outdoor Family Aquatic Center
Siting Study - Site Development Narrative
May 22, 2014
The following text and attached cost estimate describe differences in development needs and
associated cost differences between the two proposed sites for the Bozeman Aquatics facility.
Costs considered to be approximately equal for the two sites are not included.
In comparing the two sites, there are some differences in the amount of public infrastructure
required to develop each site. Because adjacent property owners stand to benefit from these
public improvements, the attached cost estimate has two tables. Table 1 summarizes relative
development costs based on the Aquatics Center bearing the full cost of the public
improvements; Table 2 summarizes relative development costs based on an assumed cost
share agreement. It is assumed that during design development, there will be some negotiation
before arriving at a final agreement on funding for the public improvements.
YMCA Site
Sanitary Sewer Service: The nearest, most accessible sewer main is at the intersection of
Vaquero Parkway and Lolo Way. The estimate assumes an 8” sewer main extension will be
routed south in the Vaquero Parkway road & utility easement, per the Baxter Meadows
development plans. A 6” service will leave the street easement and head west to the Aquatics
Facility. The estimate includes a possible cost-sharing agreement with adjacent property owners
to reduce public infrastructure cost to the Aquatics project.
Water Service: The estimate assumes an 8” water main extension will be routed south in the
Vaquero Parkway road & utility easement, per the Baxter Meadows development plans. A new
6” fire service and a 2” Type K copper domestic service in the same trench will run west to the
Aquatics Facility. The estimate includes a possible cost-sharing agreement with adjacent
property owners to reduce public infrastructure cost to the Aquatics project.
Street Improvements: The City will require completion of Vaquero Parkway, utilizing the existing
road and utility easements. The estimate assumes the Aquatics Facility will be responsible for
full-width construction from Lolo Way to the Fire Station. The estimate includes a possible
cost-sharing agreement with adjacent property owners to reduce public infrastructure cost to the
Aquatics project.
ALTA Survey and Demolition: The ALTA survey and demolition are minimal due to the
undeveloped nature of the site.
Grading and Storm Drainage: The site drains northeast, generally at about 2.6 percent, to the
Vaquero Parkway road & utility easement. An existing irrigation pipe traverses the site and will
need to be rerouted or replaced with a pipe that can handle vehicular traffic loading. A feasible
concept for storm runoff would be to run storm drain pipe and surface runoff east to a ditch along
Vaquero Parkway, then discharge into a detention facility at the north end of the site, possibly
re-grading and utilizing the area north of the site where irrigation ditches converge.
Electrical, Natural Gas and Communications: The nearest three-phase electrical primary is
located on the north side of Baxter Lane. The nearest natural gas and communications lines
(telephone and internet/TV cable) are at the intersection of Vaquero Parkway and Lolo Way.
24

Page 2 of 2
These utilities need to be extended south along Vaquero Parkway, with services into the YMCA
site. The estimate includes main line extensions to a point east of the Aquatics Facility building,
and service lines across Vaquero Parkway and into the site.
Impact Fees: Impact fees are required for new development and for redevelopment. There is no
cost reduction for re-development at this site, so the full cost of impact fees will be required.
Environmental Permitting: There are wetlands near and potentially within the site near the west
property line, and permitting may be required. The City requires a 50-foot setback from
wetlands. Wetland impacts less than 0.1 acre (4,356 sq. ft.) require a environmental permitting.
Wetland impacts greater than or equal to 0.1 acre would require much more costly mitigation.
The estimate assumes we will avoid the greater impacts and mitigation.
Rose Park Site
Sanitary Sewer Service: The nearest, most accessible sewer main is at the intersection of
27th Avenue and Tschache Street. The estimate assumes an 8” sewer main extension will be
routed east under the paved Tschache Street (street cut required), then south in the future
25th Avenue alignment (road & utility easement). A 6” service will leave the street easement and
head southeast to the Aquatics Facility.
Water Service: The estimate assumes a street cut in Oak Street for a new 6” fire service and a
2” domestic service in the same trench. Because the nearest fire hydrant is at the 27th and Oak
Street intersection, a new fire hydrant assembly is included as the cost equivalent of a 100-foot
water main extension.
Street Improvements: The City will require a looped road connection between Oak Street and
either 27th Avenue or Tschache Street, utilizing the existing road and utility easements for
25th Avenue. Due in part to the sewer main requirement, the most economical connection
appears to be construction of 25th Avenue all the way to Tschache Street. Half-width
construction may be acceptable to the City, but full width construction is assumed for improved
access to the facility.
ALTA Survey and Demolition: The ALTA survey and demolition are minimal due to the
undeveloped nature of the site.
Grading and Storm Drainage: The site drains north, generally at about 1.2 percent, to Tschache
Street. An existing irrigation ditch traverses the site and will need to be rerouted and partially
piped. A feasible concept for storm runoff would be to run storm drain pipe and surface runoff
north, then through one or more detention facilities north of the site improvements, and into the
existing irrigation ditch.
Electrical, Natural Gas and Communications: Three-phase electrical, natural gas and
communications lines (telephone and internet/TV cable) exist along the north side of Oak Street.
Impact Fees: Impact fees are required for new development and for redevelopment. There is no
cost reduction for re-development at this site, so the full cost of impact fees will be required.
Environmental Permitting: There are significant wetlands and streams near and within the
proposed development areas, and environmental permitting will be required. The City requires a
50-foot setback from wetlands. Due to the location and extent of existing wetlands, the Rose
Park site assumes up to one acre of wetland impacts. Therefore, this site includes an additional
$50,000 cash-in-lieu for offsite mitigation (replacement) wetlands.

provided to us in a table format and drawing, respectively.
Laboratory Procedures
Samples from the borings were returned to our office and visually classified and logged by a geotechnical
engineer. The soils encountered in the borings were classified in accordance with American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) Method of Test D 2488, "Standard Practice for Description and
Identification of Soils (Visual – Manual Procedures)." A summary of the ASTM classification system is
attached. Representative samples will remain in our office for a period of 60 days to be available for your
examination.
Two thin-walled tube samples from the borings were selected for consolidation tests. The results of the
consolidation tests are attached to this report.
Results
Existing Site Conditions. Photographs of the site were obtained by our drill crew at the time of our field
work, but we did not perform an engineering reconnaissance of the site. The photographs indicate that a
portion of the vegetation has been removed, and the site appears to be a former agricultural field.
Observations made by the drill crew indicate the site appears to be previously undeveloped. The site
plane provided by SEA indicates the site to have a high elevation of about 4724 at the south end of the
site, and a low elevation of about 4719 at the north end, or a slope of about 1 1/2 percent down to the
northwest.
Geology. The Preliminary Geologic Map of the Bozeman 30' by 60' Quadrangle, compiled by Vuke et
al, indicates the site geology consists of an alluvial braid plain deposit. This deposit is described as
including well rounded, well sorted, bouldery gravel and sand with some thin beds of clayey silt. The
soils encountered on the proposed site generally fit the description of an alluvial braid plain deposit.
Soils. The general soil profile encountered at the six borings was relatively similar. These borings
generally encountered 5 to 10 inches of topsoil and root zone underlain by low to medium plasticity lean
clay to depths ranging from 3 to 4 1/2 feet. Beneath the lean clay, the borings encountered poorly graded
gravel with sand to depths ranging from 11 to 16 feet. Clayey gravel with sand was then encountered to
the borings' termination depths of 15 1/2 and 25 1/2 feet. These strata are described in more detail below.
Lean Clay Alluvium. All borings encountered lean clay alluvium to depths ranging from 3 to 4
1/2 feet. Penetration resistances ranged from 1 to 13 blows per foot (BPF), but were generally
between 2 and 6 BPF. These results indicate the clay was generally of a soft to medium
consistency. Pocket penetrometer estimates of the unconfined compressive strengths ranged from
1 to greater than 4 tons per square foot (tsf), indicating the clay ranges from a medium to very
stiff consistency.
Gravel Alluvium. Gravel alluvium was encountered beneath the clay in all the borings to their
termination depths of 15 1/2 and 25 1/2 feet. The gravels consisted of either poorly graded gravel
with sand or clayey gravel with sand. Cobbles are also likely present within the gravel.
Penetration resistances in the gravel alluvium generally ranged from 36 to 86 BPF, indicating the
gravel alluvium is dense to very dense.

Groundwater. Groundwater levels on the proposed site is relatively shallow (4 to 6 1/2 feet).
Groundwater was observed at elevations ranging from 4714 1/2 to 4718 1/2. One-inch piezometers were
installed in Borings ST-1P, ST-4P, and ST-5P to allow for extended monitoring of groundwater levels on
the site.

Laboratory Tests.
Classification Tests. Classification tests consisting of Atterberg limits and percent-finer-than-a-
200-sieve were conducted on two of the clay alluvium samples. The liquid limit of the clay
alluvium samples tested was 31, the plastic limit 20 and the plasticity index 11. The percent-
finer-than-a-200-sieve of these samples ranged from 86 to 93 percent. Based on these test results,
the samples classified as low plasticity lean clay. The ASTM symbol for these soils is CL.
The Atterberg limits tests indicated a low potential for volume change, i.e., shrinking and
swelling with changes in moisture content. The plastic limit was near or below the natural
moisture contents, indicating the soils tested are not likely to absorb a significant amount of
moisture if they are covered by a slab.
Consolidation Tests. The results of the consolidation tests performed on the clay alluvium
samples from Borings ST-2 and ST-4P are shown on the graphs in the Appendix. The samples
collapsed less than ½ percent when inundated under a load of 500 psf. This is a relatively low
value. Compression under a load increase of 2,000 psf was about 4 ½ to 6 ½ percent. These are
moderate to high values indicating the clays are moderate to highly compressible.
The initial moisture content and dry density of the samples were determined as part of the test.
The initial moisture contents of the samples ranged from 26.4 to 28.4 percent, indicating they
were wet and over the soil’s estimated remolded optimum moisture content. The initial dry
densities ranged from 93.5 to 93.9 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). These are typical values for lean
clay alluvium.

Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations
Discussion. The proposed site along Vaquero Parkway being considered for the proposed 911 Building
site can generally be described as a moderately thick layer of rather soft to soft clay underlain by dense
gravel alluvium. The clays are generally quite weak and easily disturbed during construction activities,
and are not well suited for support of heavy buildings. However, the underlying gravels are dense to very
dense and are generally well suited for supporting both heavy and light structures on conventional frost-
depth spread footings.
For the primary building, we recommend totally removing all of the clays from beneath the proposed
building area, and replacing it with compacted structural gravel backfill. The new building could then be
supported on conventional spread footing foundations and earth supported floor slabs. For the lighter
support and equipment buildings, it may be possible to support the foundations and floor slabs on
undisturbed clay, or compacted backfill placed over the undisturbed soils, provided the foundation loads
are relatively low. Although some of the borings indicate some of the clays are likely too soft even for
lightly loaded foundations, and it may be necessary to subexcavate the clays from beneath foundations
depending on the actual building location.
Bearing capacities in the alluvial clay can be expected to range from 1,000 psf to 1,500 psf, while bearing
capacities in the alluvial gravel can be expected to range from 4,000 to 5,000 psf, or possibly higher, if
necessary.
The on-site clays are highly susceptible to disturbance during construction activities, and special
considerations will be needed in preparing subgrades in parking and driveway areas. These
considerations typically consist of measures such as haul roads, stabilization with geotextiles, thicker
pavement sections and/or subexcavation and stabilization of soft areas.
Groundwater was also encountered at fairly shallow depths on the proposed site. It is common for
groundwater levels in the Bozeman area to rise several feet due to spring thaw and irrigation, and
groundwater levels during construction may be higher than the levels we measured during drilling. The
presence of high groundwater could complicate the excavations performed on the proposed site, and
considerable dewatering could be required, particularly for deeper excavations. Due to the high
groundwater, basements should be avoided, if possible, but if basements are planned, permanent
perimeter and subfloor drainage systems will be necessary to permanently lower the groundwater level
and control seepage. More detailed recommendations are discussed below.
Site Preparation. We recommend all vegetation, topsoil, and root zone be removed from beneath the
proposed footings, slabs, and pavement. The thickness of topsoil and root zone at the borings was 6 to 10
inches. Actual depth of removal across the site should be determined by observations during stripping.
It is our opinion conventional spread footings and earth support floor slabs can be utilized for the
structures planned on the proposed site. For the primary structure, which will have heaver foundation
loadings, we recommend removing all of the clay from beneath foundations and replacing it with
compacted sandy gravel. To provide more uniform floor slab and interior foundation support, we also
recommend removing all of the clays from beneath the floor slab areas.
We recommend footings bear on undisturbed alluvial gravel or compacted backfill placed over
undisturbed alluvial gravel. We recommend all existing clay be subexcavated from beneath the proposed
35

CTA Architects Engineers August 10, 2007
Project 07-2314 Page 5
footings and floor slabs and oversize zones extending 1 foot (horizontal) beyond the footings for every
foot of subexcavation below the footings, i.e. 1:1 oversizing.
In pavement areas, it will be necessary to strip the topsoil, and the exposed subgrade should be scarified
and recompacted before placing any structural fill or pavement base or subbase. Extreme care will need
to be taken to avoid excessively disturbing the clay subgrade during construction. We also recommend
constructing haul roads during construction to keep rubber tired equipment off of the clay subgrade.
Additional measures such as stabilization with geotextiles and/or subexcavation and backfilling with
gravels may be needed in soft areas that are identified or develop during construction.
Dewatering. Groundwater measurements taken while drilling indicate groundwater is fairly close to the
clay and gravel interface. With the seasonal fluctuations of groundwater levels, it is likely groundwater
levels during construction could be significantly higher than the levels measured during drilling.
Therefore, groundwater could be encountered during the building excavation. If groundwater is
encountered above the gravel surface, the groundwater can likely be displaced as the gravel backfill is
advanced across the excavation. Fairly significant dewatering will be required during the excavation of
deeper utilities. Basements for the proposed buildings should be avoided, if possible, but if planned will
require permanent perimeter and subfloor drainage systems to control seepage and permanently lower the
groundwater level.
Spread Footing Foundations. For conventional frost depth spread footings placed on undisturbed
alluvial gravel or compacted backfill placed over undisturbed alluvial gravel, preliminary settlement
calculations indicate bearing capacities of 4,000 to 5,000 psf will result in settlements of less than 1 inch
for column loads up to 500 kips. For the smaller support and equipment buildings, spread footing
foundations bearing directly on the the medium to rather stiff clays, spread footings can be designed for
bearing pressures of about 1,000 to 1,500 psf for column loads up to 50 kips and wall loads up to 3 kips
per lineal foot. Settlement should be less than 1 inch. The soft to very soft clays will not be suitable for
direct foundation support, and it will be necessary to subexcavate the clays down to the gravels for these
structures. The above bearing capacity and settlement values should be considered estimates, and further
analysis will be required once specific footing elevations, site grades and building loads are determined.
Seismic Considerations. Based on the results of our soil borings and review of available geologic
information, we recommend using a “Stiff soil profile, Site Class D,” as defined by the 2006 International
Building Code (IBC) for design. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) wesbsite indicates the
project location to have a maximum 1.0 second spectral response acceleration, S1, of 23 percent of gravity
and a maximum 0.2 second spectral response acceleration, SS, of 75 percent of gravity.
Pavement Areas. After stripping the topsoil and root zone, we recommend the upper 6 inches of the
resulting subgrade be scarified, moistened to a moisture content near optimum, and compacted to a
minimum of 95 percent of its maximum dry density determined in accordance with ASTM Method of
Test D 698 (standard Proctor). Pavement sections consisting of approximately 3 inches of asphalt
concrete underlain by 12 inches of compacted base course would be sufficient in automobile areas, while
3 inches of asphalt pavement underlain by 18 inches of compacted base course would likely be sufficient
in truck areas. These pavement sections are preliminary, and should the site be developed in the future,

with anticipated loading will be required. Additional shallow borings are recommended at specific
structure locations, and additional geotechnical engineering analysis will be required to determine
foundation and pavement recommendations. If basements are planned, piezometers should also be
installed in the building specific borings to assist in the design of the subfloor drainage systems and to
assist in establishing basement floor elevations.
General Recommendations
The preliminary analyses and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the soil borings performed at the locations indicated on the attached sketch. Additional geotechnical
evaluation will be needed for the project. Often, variations occur between these borings, the nature and
extent of which do not become evident until additional exploration or construction is conducted.
Services performed by SK Geotechnical Corporation personnel for this project have been conducted with
that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing in this
area under similar budget and time restraints. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made.

Dear Kurt:
Re: Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation, Proposed Gallatin County 911 Communications Building,
Vaquero Parkway, Bozeman, Montana
We have completed the preliminary geotechnical evaluation for the proposed Gallatin County 911
Communication Building you authorized on June 27, 2007. The purpose of the preliminary geotechnical
evaluation was to assist your firm and Gallatin County in evaluating the suitability of the proposed site for
the proposed facility. These services were performed in general accordance with our proposal to you
dated June 27, 2007.
Proposed Construction
If selected as the preferred site, the proposed Gallatin County 911 Communication Building will be
located approximately 100 feet southwest of the intersection of Vaquero Parkway and Davis Lane. The
layout of the facility and parking lot area has not been selected. However, the facility will likely consist
of one primary two-story building, and then one or more smaller support or equipment buildings. Paved
parking and driveways will also be constructed on the proposed site. The primary building will likely
utilize heavy masonry, concrete and/or steel construction, however, loads are not available at this time.
The buildings will have earth supported floor slabs placed near grade. Basements are generally not
planned at this time.
Available Information
Stahly Engineering & Associates (SEA) provided us with a site survey showing the proposed site. This
plan is dated August 7, 2007, and was used for our attached Boring Location Sketch.
Field Procedures
Six soil borings were performed on the proposed project site. The soil borings were performed on June
28 and 29, 2007, with a truck-mounted auger rig having an automatic hammer. Temporary piezometers
consisting of 1-inch PVC pipe were installed in three of the borings to allow for extended water level
measurements.
The proposed boring locations were selected by Mr. Brett Warren, EI, an engineer with our firm, and then
staked by our drill crew. The boring elevations and locations were later surveyed by SEA, and were

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A preliminary geotechnical investigation has been performed for the proposed City of Bozeman
Recreation and Aquatic Center project located between West Oak and Tschache Streets east of
25th Avenue North in Bozeman, Montana. Four (4) test pits, designated TP-1 to TP-4, were
performed to depths of approximately 7 to 12 feet below existing grades at the project site.
Based on the information obtained from our field exploration, the subsurface profile generally
consists of shallow topsoil overlying lean clay which in turn overlies well-graded gravel. In the test
pit on the east side of the site, we encountered approximately 9 feet of fill overlying original topsoil
and gravel. The topsoil and lean clay stratums in the other test pits extended to approximate
depths of 2.0 to 3.2 feet below existing ground.
Two areas of concern from a geotechnical standpoint were identified for the site and its proposed
development. The following concerns are discussed further in Section 4 of this report
The site has relatively shallow groundwater. It was encountered at depths of 6.4 to 7.0 feet
in our test pits. Impacts of this elevated water table on the proposed swimming pool and
water features will have to be carefully considered during the design phase.
The site has considerable fill material. Significant fill was encountered in the test pit on the
east side of the site. The fill is not a suitable building foundation subgrade material and a
foundation design calling for either bypassing or removing/replacing this material will be
necessary.
This summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for preliminary design
purposes. It should be recognized that details were not included or fully developed in this section,
and the report must be read in its entirety for a better understanding of the items noted above. The
section titled GENERAL COMMENTS should be read for an understanding of the report
limitations.

2.2 Site Location and Description
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Location The proposed site is located between West Oak and Tschache
Streets, east of future 25
th Avenue North in Bozeman, Montana.
Existing improvements
The site has been partially developed into a public park and Folf
Course. There are small drainages flowing along the west and east
boudaries from south to north. Adjacent developments are primarily
residential in nature.
Current ground cover Native vegetation, dryland grasses and weeds.
Existing topography Generally sloping gently down to the north, with steeply sloping
hills (fill) in the eastern and central areas of the site.
3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.1 Soil Conditions
Based on materials encountered in the test pits, underlying a layer of topsoil or fill, the
subsurface profile generally consists of lean clay overlying well graded gravel. The gravel was
encountered at depths ranging from 2.2 to 10.0 feet below the existing grade and extended to
the bottom of all test pits at depths of 7.0 to 12.0 feet.
Conditions encountered at each test pit location are indicated on the individual logs found in
Appendix A of this report and are further described in the table and paragraphs below.
Stratification boundaries on the logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil types; in
situ, the transition between materials may be gradual.
3.2 Material Properties
Description Approximate Depth to
Bottom of Stratum (feet)Material Encountered
Stratum 1 Varies from 1.0 to 10.0 Topsoil, Organic Material &
Gravelly Clay Fill
Stratum 2 Varies from 2.2 to 3.4 Lean Clay
Stratum 3 Varies from 7.0 to 12.0 Well Graded Gravel
The gravelly clay fill, Stratum 1, is brown in color and contained organics and asphalt chunks. It
was encountered at the surface and extended to a depth of approximately 9 feet below existing
ground surface in Test Pit #3.

The lean clay, Stratum 2, is dark brown to tan in color, and includes scattered gravels. It has
moderate plasticity with index properties shown in the table below, these results indicate some
volume change potential with changes in moisture content.

The gravel is black in color, sub-angular and contains cobbles and small boulders.
3.3 Groundwater
The test pits were observed during excavation and after completion for the presence and level of
groundwater. Groundwater was observed in TP-1, TP-2 and TP-4 at depths of 6.2, 6.4 and 7.0
feet below ground surface respectively during the short time the test pits were allowed to remain
open.
Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff and
other factors not evident at the time the test pits were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels
during construction or at other times in the life of the structures may be higher or lower than the
levels indicated on the logs, and the possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be
considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
4.0 GEOTECHNICAL CONCERNS
Based on the results of our preliminary investigation, two areas of concern were identified from
a geotechnical standpoint:
high groundwater
on-site fill material.
The groundwater depths observed are discussed in Section 3 above and shown on the test pits
logs in Appendix A. Additional groundwater research conducted for this investigation indicates
that groundwater depths as shallow as 3 to 4 feet below ground surface have been observed by
others during geotechnical investigations for other developments in the area. The below grade
elements planned for this development, the pool and the water features, will be directly
impacted by the shallow groundwater on-site. It will be critical to consider hydrostatic lateral and
46

uplift loading on pool walls, floors and other below grade water features. It will also be important
to consider installing foundation underdrains for the pool, water features and buildings, and to
include the cost of dewatering in the project budget for all excavations planned on-site for
foundations and utilities.
The fill encountered in Test Pit-3 extended to a depth of 9 feet below the ground surface at the
approximate east wall location currently planned for the building. Due to its variable nature the
fill is not a suitable foundation subgrade. The fill has been placed on the site and graded into an
undulating hill. Our on-site elevation survey indicates that fill depths on the eastern portion of
the site could be as much as 20 feet from the highpoint on the hill. During design, consideration
should be given to removing a portion of the fill, relocating the building, or constructing the
portion of the building footprint that is on the fill with a deep foundation.
5.0 GENERAL COMMENTS
Further geotechnical investigation is necessary to provide more detailed subsurface information
and to develop appropriate geotechnical design and construction recommendations. Once
additional information regarding building(s) size(s) and location on the property is available,
Terracon should be retained to perform a final geotechnical engineering investigation and report
to more completely characterize site soils, including fill and groundwater and to make
recommendations regarding foundations, slabs, subgrade soil preparation, pavements,
drainage, pool excavation, cut/fill slopes and lateral loads.
The information and observations presented in this preliminary report are based upon the data
obtained from the test pits performed at the indicated locations and from other information
discussed in this report. This report does not reflect variations that may occur between test pits,
across the site, or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather. The nature and
extent of such variations may not become evident until further investigation or during/after
construction. If variations appear, we should be immediately notified so that further evaluation
and supplemental recommendations can be provided.
The scope of services for this project does not include, either specifically or by implication, any
environmental or biological (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons, mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of
the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions. If the
owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, other studies should
be undertaken.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client for specific application to the
project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering practices. No warranties, either expressed or implied, are intended or made. Site
safety, excavation support, and dewatering requirements are the responsibility of others. As

Field Exploration Description
The test pit locations were laid out on the site by Terracon personnel. Elevations were also
determined by Terracon using engineering level and rod. The locations and elevations should be
considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and methods used to define them.
The test pits were excavated with a Caterpillar 315 tracked excavator. Samples of the soils
encountered in the test pits were obtained by taking grab samples during excavation.
The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to our
laboratory for further examination, testing, and classification. Information provided on the logs
attached to this report includes soil descriptions, consistency evaluations, test pit depths, sampling
intervals, and groundwater conditions. The test pits were backfilled with excavated material and
compacted by rolling with the excavator tracks prior to the crew leaving the site.
Field logs were prepared by the field engineer. The logs included visual classifications of the
materials encountered during drilling as well as the engineer’s interpretation of the subsurface
conditions between samples. The final logs included with this report represent the engineer's
interpretation of the field logs and includes modifications based on laboratory observations and
tests of the samples.

WL:Water Level WS:While Sampling N/E:Not Encountered
WCI:Wet Cave in WD:While Drilling
DCI:Dry Cave in BCR:Before Casing Removal
AB:After Boring ACR:After Casing Removal
Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the times indicated. Groundwater levels at other
times and other locations across the site could vary. In pervious soils, the indicated levels may reflect the location of groundwater.
In low permeability soils, the accurate determination of groundwater levels may not be possible with only short-term observations.
DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION: Soil classification is based on the Unified Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils
have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand.
Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are
plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may
be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined on the
basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

Hi Scott,
We have said numerous times to City officials that we would gladly do what we
could to benefit our community, including any shared parking situations that may be
advantageous on the site. Of course, we would like to know details before formally
agreeing to anything, and half of the property is for sale right now, the sale of which
may affect our ability to help with parking, but in general we would be happy to help
any way we can.
Very sorry about the number, we are in the process of switching carriers. Until then,
you can reach me at the number below.
Sincerely,
Steve

Greetings-
I am a local architect who is working with the City of Bozeman to
determine
the location of a possible new indoor/outdoor swimming facility. Rose
Park
(immediately east of your property) is one of the sites being considered.
The nature of my contact is to ask about the possibility of shared parking

Luke,
This email is to summarize our conversation on the phone regarding parking at the YMCA site. As I mentioned, the
county will be redrawing the boundaries for the Y's leased area. They were open to redrawing based on the Y's parking
needs. And they were open to the idea of a shared parking agreement. We didn't talk specific numbers as to how many
spaces would be dedicated only to the Y versus shared with the county, but the general understanding is that both
parties are open to finding the best parking solutions at this location.
Hope that helps and let me know if you need any further clarification.
Thanks,
Jimmy
