Commission Memorandum
Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
From: Lain Leoniak, Water Conservation Specialist Craig Woolard, Director of Public Works
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Agreement with
Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (AE2S), to develop a Drought
Management Plan for the city in the interests of public health and safety to mitigate and respond to drought events. Mitigation actions included in the Plan reduce water consumption and will
further water demand reduction goals established by the Water Conservation Program.
Meeting Date: December 28, 2015
Agenda Item Type: Consent Item
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional Services Agreement with the engineering firm of Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (AE2S), to
develop a Drought Management Plan for the city in the interests of public health and safety to
mitigate and respond to drought events.
Background: There is growing evidence that climate change is causing longer and more frequent droughts in
some areas including SW Montana.1 Drought directly impacts the City of Bozeman’s ability to
deliver water and increases the risk of wildfire in key locations within the city’s watershed. As
the city continues to grow, the utility must build resiliency to drought through proactive and
comprehensive drought planning in advance of a crisis.
The City’s Integrated Water Resources Plan recommends drought contingency planning as a
component of the water conservation program and includes some suggested drought response
actions.2 The Plan recognizes that water conservation and drought management combine to
insure the availability of firm yields to cover indoor water demands during a drought emergency.3

Research shows that planning for drought is far more cost effective than emergency response.
Taking steps ahead of time to prevent known impacts from a drought emergency is far less
expensive than measures taken in the midst of a drought. Moreover, post-drought relief is costly and may not reach the right people.4
The project comprises the following tasks:
(1) Project Management
(2) Drought Management Team Formation (3) Vulnerability Assessment
(4) Drought Monitoring
(5) Drought Mitigation
(6) Drought Response
(7) Operational and Administrative Framework (8) Drought Management Plan Update Process
Alternatives: As suggested by the Commission.
Fiscal Effects: Total project costs to the Water Conservation Division shall not exceed
$54,035.00.
