Wastewater Fund CIP Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Adopt the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2017-2021. AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent MEETING DATE: December 14, 2015 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Wastewater Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2017-2021. 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. Similar to recent years past, we are bringing the various parts of the plan forward as items on the Consent agenda. We will be prepared to address questions, if they arise, at the public meeting. The Public Works, City Manager, and other city staff met in October to develop the attached Capital Plan for the equipment and capital needs of the Wastewater Fund. The Wastewater Fund CIP tracks the capital equipment replacements and construction projects for Wastewater Operations (collection system) and the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). Item of Note: • After review of the allocation of vehicle replacements for the Water Operations department in the Water Fund, we moved a number of vehicles to the Wastewater Fund 201 for replacement. The Water Operations and Wastewater Operations crews function as one unit and share equipment that is purchased by both funds. • PW02: Shops Facility Expansion Construction has been added to both the Water and Wastewater Fund, totaling $700,000 (50/50 split), to allow for an addition to our space available for shops crews and equipment. • WW73 – Wastewater Rate Study was added ($50,000). We are conducting a similar study in for the water system this year and would like to follow with a wastewater study. • WW71 – Facility Master Plan Update has been added ($150,000). • Numerous other items have been adjusted or added based on current projections. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. If the Commission 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 FY17.

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. FUNDING SOURCES 100% Wastewater Fund New Replacement Equipment Project FY19 $60,000 FY20 $60,000 FY21 $60,000 218 CIP Project Fund Wastewater Fund PROJECT NUMBER WW28 DEPARTMENT WRF PROJECT NAME DESIGN PHASE II - WRF PLANT IMPROVEMENTS FY17 FY18 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% Wastewater Fund, 50% Wastewater Impact Fee Fund. New Replacement Equipment Project FY19 FY20 FY21 219 CIP Project Fund Wastewater Fund PROJECT NUMBER WW29 DEPARTMENT WRF PROJECT NAME METHANE COGENERATION PROJECT DESIGN FY17 FY18 Unscheduled $350,000 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. Year 1: Project Feasibility Study. Year 2: Project Engineering Design - $350,000. Year 3: Equipment Purchase and Installation - $2,200,000. 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. FUNDING SOURCES Wastewater Fund, other grants or community partners.

FUNDING SOURCES WASTEWATER FUNDS New Replacement Equipment Project FY19 FY20 FY21 235 CIP Project Fund Wastewater Fund PROJECT NUMBER WW62 DEPARTMENT WRF PROJECT NAME METHANE COGENERATION PROJECT CONSTRUCTION FY17 FY18 Unscheduled $2,200,000 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. Year 1: Project Feasibility Study. Year 2: Project Engineering Design - $350,000. Year 3: Equipment Purchase and Installation - $2,200,000. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Continue to flare our digester methane gas. Micro-turbines and fuel-cells have been analyzed 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 FUNDING SOURCES Wastewater Fund, other grants or community partners.
