KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 3 West Side Interceptor Connection & Meadows Edge Regional Lift StationKalispell, MT WGM worked closely with the City of Kalispell to review planning documents and create a projected service area for a regional lift station installed with the third phase of the Meadows Edge Subdivision. This also required the extension of a trunkline to connect to the west side interceptor serving the immediate subdivisions of Meadows Edge and Spring Creek Park, but using the service area to consider future development and City expansion along the western city limits. This combined planning and engineering design creates the opportunity for the connection of existing systems, accommodates capacity for immediate development, and ultimately facilitating the potential for over 1,200 homes and multi-family units at a time where housing is of the utmost importance to the Flathead Valley. Key Personnel: Ben Rankin, Mike Brodie, Charity Zemke St. Regis Force Sewer MainSt. Regis, MTThe St. Regis Sewer District (SRSD) discovered a breach of their six-inch sewer force main under the Clark Fork River in January 2019 and performed a temporary repair using a CIPP liner. With this repair performed under duress as a stop-gap measure, the SRSD selected WGM, through a competitive process, to assist the district in implementing a permanent solution. WGM assisted the SRSD in obtaining an Emergency Grant from FEMA and completed an alternative analysis to determine the best method and location for replacement of the failing sewer force main. WGM provided land acquisition assistance, completed design, calculations, and environmental permitting for approximately 650 LF of replacement sewer force main installed by boring under the Clark Fork River. WGM also developed construction contracts and assisted with the bidding process, and is currently performing contract administration, project inspection, and certification through project completion. Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Abby Indreland, Adam Pummill STEP Systems ConversionMissoula, MT WGM is working with the City of Missoula to reduce on-going maintenance issues associated with the City’s Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) system. A feasibility study was conducted in five areas of town to determine where gravity sewer mains could be extended to replace STEP components. WGM designed and constructed the first of these projects, the Linda Vista Boulevard Sewer Interceptor, to allow the phased decommissioning of STEP sewer for over 2,500 residences. With the interceptor in place, many smaller projects became feasible. Six projects have been completed and WGM is currently working on an overall phasing plan for remaining projects. Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Abby Indreland Sanitary Sewer Collection System PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE WGM routinely designs public water and sewer extensions as part of large, multi-phase subdivision projects, including: •Meadows Edge Subdivision•Northland Subdivision•Stillwater Crossing •Silverbrook Estates•Aspen Creek West•Spring Creek Park Subdivision We understand the City of Kalispell’s municipal standards and submittal process, and bring effective, collaborative relationships for successful project delivery.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 5 WASTEWATER TREATMENT WGM’s approach to wastewater treatment focuses first on the receiving water and watershedrather than jumping straight to expensive mechanical treatment add-ons. This approach offersboth significant capital and operations and maintenance cost saving opportunities by avoiding additional energy intensive mechanical treatment and implementing wastewater reuse through irrigation, aquifer recharge, and engineered wetland systems. Canyon Area Sewer Feasibility StudyBig Sky, MT WGM evaluated collection, treatment, and disposal alternatives for existing design flow of 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) and future build-out flow of 300,000 gpd. Project area is immediately adjacent to the Gallatin River, resulting in heightened regulatory oversight and low nutrient treatment standards. Existing infrastructure includes a private treatment lagoon which will either be retrofitted for enhanced treatment or abandoned for alternate collection and treatment due to future land use constraints and effluent quality requirements. Capital expense for full scale collection and treatment is cost prohibitive if the project were fully reliant on area residents. WGM is helping to establish an additional one percent ‘resort tax’ to generate revenue from tourism dollars to fund sewer infrastructure projects. Key Personnel: Mace Mangold, Ben Rankin, Jon Gass MDT Quartz Flats Rest Area Mineral County, MT As lead designers for this design-build team, WGM performed survey, environmental, and engineering services for the reconstruction of MDT’s Quartz Flats Rest Area. The wastewater system design included separate stand alone septic tanks, treatment tanks, dosing tanks, and effluent meters. Each dosing tank discharged to its own drainfield. Three test pits were dug within 25 feet of the proposed primary drainfield footprint to confirm the Phase 1 percolation test results and meet DEQ requirements. All wastewater submittals were routed through MDT prior to submission to DEQ. WGM obtained the installation permit and coordinated the design and construction elements with the County Health Department Sanitarian. This fast-tracked project was delivered on schedule and within budget. Key Personnel: Cody Thorson, Abby Indreland, Kirk Adkins Bridger Bowl Treatment Wetland Bozeman, MT WGM wastewater experts designed an on-site, two-stage vertical flow treatment wetland system including performing all automation programming at Bridger Bowl. This unique ongoing project is treating 10,000 gpd of high-strength waste consistent with MDT rest areas while providing 75% total nitrogen (TN), 99% biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and 97% total suspended solids (TSS) removal during cold winter conditions. Greater performance can be expected during the rest area’s anticipated peak summer traffic. Bridger Bowl’s 6,200 SF vertical flow’ treatment wetland employs the same treatment principle as Eliminite (fixed film media for enhanced nitrogen removal) with similar resiliency and reduced O&M, as the plants provide sustenance to support and maintain effective, diverse microbial communities and facilitate passive biomass management, all with fewer mechanical components. Key Personnel: Mace Mangold PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE WGM is in a unique position to provide a value-added service of analyzing treatment wetlands as a potential tertiary treatment alternative for the City’s existing advanced wastewater treatment facility. A five-year pilot project is currently underway with the City of Bozeman’s wastewater treatment facility to evaluate the performance of treatment wetlands on municipal effluent nutrient reductions technology in the future.

In addition to key staff, our teams include support resources including CADD drafters, GIS technicians, and project admins, as well as a multi-disciplinary group of subject matter experts to collaborate with, ensuring your project needs are met. KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 7 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE WATER SYSTEMS Kalispell Water Facility Plan UpdateKalispell, MT WGM, in partnership with consultant AE2S, completed updates to the Kalispell Water Facility Plan. This project included an evaluation of the existing water supply, transmission, and distribution system; determining the future service area; and prioritizing improvement projects. WGM worked with City staff to identify areas of future growth and determine water demand forecasts for these areas. Based on hydraulic modeling, we evaluated capital improvement projects and prepared cost estimates. WGM’s water rights team compiled information about the existing water rights and provided in-depth analysis of the alignment of those rights with current water delivery practices. Based on projected growth patterns, recommendations were made to secure adequate water rights for future demands. Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Stephanie Reynolds Central Avenue Water ImprovementsWhitefish, MT WGM worked closely with the City of Whitefish to improve Central Avenue, upgrading road and water infrastructure, as well as landscaping along three blocks of downtown. This highly visible project involved replacing aging six-inch water main with new eight-inch main. Phasing of improvements was critical, as several residential, commercial, and fire protection services had to remain in service during construction. Close schedule coordination allowed road improvements to be constructed immediately following the water main upgrade, minimizing impacts to local businesses and residents. Several public meetings were conducted and stakeholders were routinely informed of construction progress, traffic control, and times when water supply would be affected. Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Cody Thorson, Mike Brodie Big Sky Water System CIPGallatin County, MT WGM staff collaborated on the Big Sky Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that included a system-wide WaterGEMS hydraulic model to analyze operating pressures, fire flow rates, tank fluctuations and capacity, pumping efficiencies, and future development capacity. The system-wide hydraulic model provided a comprehensive analysis of the existing infrastructure to evaluate the system holistically and identify areas of potential operating efficiencies and system redundancy. The analyses identified over $50,000 in potential annual pump energy savings and recommendations to address present-day system limitations that included areas of limited fire flow, excessive pressures, lack of system redundancy, and poor well water quality. The analysis also provided recommendations for relatively minimal upgrades to create expanded capacity for the long-term planning horizon (20 years+). Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Mace Mangold Broadway/Stoddard/Shakespeare Street Water Main Replacements Missoula, MT As part of WGM’s on-going contract for engineering services with the City of Missoula, our team replaced multiple failing water mains in well-established neighborhoods in the 2022 construction season. The three projects were initially bundled, and just prior to bidding were split into three projects in an effort to get the best competition for bids. The projects were all funded by the State Revolving Fund (SRF), and funding agency special provisions were included in the contract. WGM performed the site mapping, final design, construction plan sets, DEQ approval process, contract manual development, overall construction engineering and inspection, along with grant administration assistance to the City of Missoula.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 9 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE STORMWATER COLLECTION Stormwater management has made significant strides over the past 20 years – from treating runoff as a nuisance development byproduct to viewing it as a resource that fuels green infrastructure. Although WGM is adept at the typical nuts-and-bolts engineering and modeling that go into designing a stormwater system, we also take pride in using every design opportunity to further Montana’s movement toward sustainable storm water design. We recognize that effective stormwater designs often need to blend science, engineering, aesthetics, and professional judgment. We are familiar with Kalispell’s Stormwater Master Plan and models and have the ability to run them in-house. From our recent work on the MDT Municipal Small Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) project which mapped the MDT portions of the system, we’ve gained insights into growth areas and support your desire to proactively address challenges as growth occurs. WGM is skilled at translating master plan projects into construction solutions. By reviewing and understanding the technical analysis, as well as our construction design experience, we have proven success putting projects on the ground. A recent example is the South Hills Stormwater project in Missoula that included the design of 2,075 LF of storm drain system, four large-capacity HDS retrofits, nine 12-foot deep dry wells for runoff volume mitigation, and full reconstruction of an existing stormwater basin to serve as an engineered treatment wetland and public park amenity. Kidsports Project Kalispell, MT WGM assisted with concept development, design, and construction management for four additional parking lots, seven new multi-purpose athletic fields, and a future baseball field to expand the complex. A model was created for a finished-ground grading design and storm water management plan to comply with City of Kalispell design standards. Our team provided several design alternatives and feasibility analyses for an irrigation water source to service both the newly expanded complex and the existing system. This project was funded by a grant from the Montana Department of Commerce. Successful project completion required close coordination with Kidsports Association, City of Kalispell, Parks and Recreation Dept, DNRC, MDT, and DOC. Key Personnel: Stephanie Reynolds, Charity Zemke Helena Stormwater Master PlanHelena, MT WGM led efforts to provide a comprehensive update to the City of Helena’s Storm Water Master Plan to help plan and prioritize capital improvements. The City’s extensive storm water infrastructure contains 120 miles of conveyances, 100 water quality facilities, and outfalls to impaired receiving waters. WGM teamed with AE2S for the all-new City-wide InfoSWMM storm water infrastructure model. This model encompassed the City’s entire storm water conveyance system and integrated the storage, attenuation, and treatment functions of 25 regional pond facilities. WGM identified over 80 recommended capital improvement projects that were vetted using the InfoSWMM model. Particular emphasis was given to identifying low-cost retrofit projects that improve food risk and water quality treatment. Key Personnel: Eric Anderson Ultra-Urban Rain Garden Stormwater Retrofit Bozeman, MTWGM worked with the City of Bozeman to develop an innovative and aesthetic ultra-urban storm water treatment BMP to meet DEQ’s MS4 requirements by making use of underutilized space along boulevards and beneath sidewalks. The structure includes aesthetic landscaping and a below-grade infiltration gallery to store runoff, maximize biological treatment, and reduce downstream thermal impacts. WGM is currently designing a second structure that will be pre-cast to simplify installation and reduce cost. We provided field reconnaissance, infiltration testing, hydrologic analysis of design storms, hydraulic analysis of the storage/treatment structure and upstream conveyance channels, preparation of construction drawings and specifications, and construction QA.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 11 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE ROADS & MULTIUSE PATHS For over five decades, WGM’s transportation teams have collaborated with municipalities, counties, the MDT, property owners and commercial clients to balance the needs of the community with Client’s goals and funding priorities. We have completed projects ranging in size and scope from intersection safety projects such as ADA/PROWAG compliant ramp improvements, pedestrian connections, traffic calming, and signal timing upgrades, to complete street designs connecting neighborhoods and the joint MDT/City of Missoula large-scale Russell Street Roadway Reconstruction. Baker Avenue Underpass Whitefish, MT WGM worked with the City of Whitefish on design and construction administration for a pedestrian underpass tunnel under Baker Avenue in downtown Whitefish. The tunnel accommodates a shared use path providing a safe connection from Depot Park to the Railroad District, and completes a key component of the Connect Whitefish Bicycle & Ped Master Plan. With easements from Burlington Northern Railroad in place, the City looked to fund the project from a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district that was set to sunset in six months. WGM provided conceptual alternatives, conducted several public meetings with numerous stakeholders, completed design, and conducted bidding within this limited timeframe, allowing the City to award the construction contract before the TIF funding was lost. Key Personnel: Jon Gass, Stephanie Reynolds, Mark Bancale, Trevor Iman Mary Avenue Street ExtensionMissoula, MTWGM provided design, right-of-way design, survey, and construction administration for theMissoula Redevelopment Agency (MRA) and Southgate Mall to complete a 1,900- foot extensionof Mary Avenue in Missoula. This project included three roundabouts, a traffic signal on Brooks Street(US Highway 12), Montana Rail Link (MRL) railroad crossing, a multi-use path, extensive landscaping and storm water management, lighting, and sidewalks. The signal required extensive coordination with MDT. WGM’s Eric Anderson led design of 29 new rain gardens to provide storm water quality treatment and infiltration of 100% of the roadway and parking lot drainage. The project was designed and bid in three phases over a nine-month timeline, including MDT SIAP review and approval, to expedite the schedule and meet the strict requirements of agreements with mall businesses. Construction prices increased during design development, with bid prices increasing 20- 30% over the previous year. WGM worked with the contractor to value engineer the project by changing or eliminating high-cost items to bring the cost within budget. Key Personnel: Stephen McDaniel, Eric Anderson, Mark Bancale, Cody Thorson, Kate Dinsmore Commuter TrailsMissoula, MT WGM led design and construction of three trails on and around the Missoula County Fairgrounds property in 2020 – Playfair, Stephens, and Sentinel – adding over 3,000 feet of public trail to Missoula’s non-motorized system. Extensive coordination was required between the City, Missoula County, MRA, Missoula County Public Schools, and the YMCA. WGM helped develop agreements between these entities and coordinate necessary easements, as well as completing boundary line relocations. Design included lighting, landscaping, and irrigation. The new trails connect major arterial streets, City parks, and school property.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 13 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE WATER RIGHTS ACQUISITION The City of Kalispell owns numerous water rights both for the municipal water supply and water rights that the City has obtained through annexations. Many of these rights will be subject to the upcoming Montana Water Court Adjudication process. The Water Court recently announced that it will issue its decree for the basin that includes the City in the near future. WGM’s water rights team has over 25 years of experience helping water right owners successfully navigate the Adjudication process. We are prepared to assist the City with the following tasks as needed: • Develop a strategy to ensure the City’s existing water rights are protected and long-term goals can be met • Summarize the legal and factual issues associated with all of the City’s water rights • Evaluate the need to file objections to other water right holders PCCRC-Adjudication SupportPondera County, MT WGM is currently providing adjudication support and expert witness testimony for the Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company (PCCRC) that helps irrigate over 70,000 irrigated acres and provides drinking water to the towns of Conrad and Brady. Our water rights team has worked closely with the PCCRC’s attorney and Management Team to protect and secure water rights, which contribute more than $20M annually to the local and statewide economies. The Montana Water Court adjudication of PCCRC’s water rights has been ongoing since 2017, though WGM staff have been working with the company and its attorney for over 25 years. WGM has provided expert witness reports, participated in depositions, and testified at Water Court hearings held in dozens of cases involving PCCRC’s water rights, and those of private and public entities within or near the Company’s service area. These cases have involved multiple federal agencies, the Blackfeet Tribe, and many private parties. Key Personnel: Kyle Mace, Julie Merritt Big Sky Water & Sewer District Big Sky, MT WGM analyzed all water rights owned by the Big Sky Water and Sewer District (BSWSD) and made recommendations for accommodating growth in the Big Sky area. BSWSD holds numerous groundwater and surface water rights with various uses and priorities. WGM’s recommendations included preparation of a change application to standardize the place of use of the BSWSD main well-field water rights as well as formulation of a plan to fully exercise water rights for wells and surface water sources not connected to BSWSD’s water main distribution system. These actions will protect the BSWSD rights for greatest flexibility in the future.. Key Personnel: Kyle Mace, Julie Merritt Water Rights Consulting Services Missoula, MT Our water rights team has worked with the Missoula water utility for over 25 years on various projects, including a change application to standardize the place of use for the City’s existing water rights and, more recently, a permit and multiple change applications to bring the Miller Creek Area into Missoula’s water service boundary. As part of the ongoing work for the Miller Creek area, WGM designed—and is implementing—a plan to collect stream flow measurements to support the mitigation agreement reached between the water utility and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). In addition, WGM recently provided technical assistance with the Montana Water Court’s splitting of the Miller Creek Water Rights as the basis of mitigation for the Miller Creek Area water right permit. WGM also helped obtain approval to exchange surface water for groundwater to bolster the City’s critical senior water rights. Finally, WGM is providing technical assistance to Missoula Water related to an objection to a new water right permit application, which has the potential to affect one of Missoula’s supply wells.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 15 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING WGM holds an MDT Traffic and Safety Term contract and has been working with MDT on transportation projects for over 30 years. WGM is skillled in providing traffic, safety, and design services, including traffic operations analysis, safety studies, roundabout design, lighting design, signal design, signing and striping, and PS&E packages. WGM also served as an extension of City of Missoula staff performing tasks ranging from speed studies, regulatory review of traffic impact studies, analysis of signalized intersection modifications/operations, striping plans, and parking studies. Many of the tasks were provided in response to concerns of community members. WGM’s rapid response in performing assigned traffic engineering tasks supported the City’s commitment to listening and addressing citizen concerns thereby improving overall community engagement and support. Traffic Signal System Evaluation & DevelopmentMultiple locations statewide, MT WGM helped identify ways to modernize traffic signal control systems and operations across 14 urban corridors in seven Montana cities. With input from stakeholder meetings and a steering committee, and work with MDT staff and consultants from DKS Engineering, WGM conducted field reviews; documented existing conditions, traffic flows/fluctuations, travel times, and traffic operational issues; constructed Synchro operations models; completed adaptive evaluations; and identified strategies to achieve project objectives. The result was a guiding document recommending signal upgrades to implement performance measures, rather than adaptive signal timings. Key Personnel: Stephen McDaniel, Mark Bancale Airport Road Intersection & Sidewalk ImprovementsKalispell, MT WGM provided engineering services for this traffic, safety, and community improvement project along Airport Road at its intersections with US Highway 93 (Main Street), First Avenue West, and 18th Street. The initial goal of the project was focused on improving problem intersections, but quickly expanded to add a parking lot to help alleviate stadium traffic and provide city snow storage, and over a mile of sidewalk. WGM performed the traffic and operational analysis and produced a Traffic Impact Study, and then completed the design, permitting, and construction inspection services. The project utilized TIF district funding to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity from the newly constructed Rankin Elementary at the southern end, northward to Downtown Kalispell while providing connections to south Kalispell residential developments along the way. This dynamic project required extensive stakeholder and agency communication. Key Personnel: Mike Brodie, Charity Zemke, Mark Bancale Kalispell ADA Ramps Kalispell, MTWGM recently completed work on this design-build project in downtown Kalispell upgrading 140+ curb ramps to ADA/PROWAG standards. In addition to design and construction oversight for ramps, WGM services included related traffic signal modifications, spot improvement designs, signal design, and survey. A rectangular rapid-flashing beacons (RRFB) was installed near the Flathead County Courthouse and a HAWK signal was installed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road in West Glacier, requiring extensive coordination with multiple stakeholders, including the National Park Service. Project development included site mapping and verification of ADA compliance, environmental compliance, and working with project stakeholder and landowners to minimize disruption during construction activities. Teamed with Knife River Corporation, this work was performed at night to limit disruption to travel on US Highway 93 and Highway 2.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 17 SURVEYING Kalispell ADA RampsKalispell, MT WGM recently completed an MDT project in the City of Kalispell updating over 140 curb ramps to ADA/PROWAG standards. We re-established right-of-way limits through research and review of all related certificates of survey, plates, PLSS corner records, deed records, recovered monuments in the field, and MDT right-of-way plans. The project included setting geodetic and project control in the area and a right-of-way retracement for two different street corridors, including cross street right-of-way locations. We performed field mapping throughout the project and at intersection perimeters using both GNSS surveys and robotic total stations as required. Once the design of the ramps was complete, our surveyors worked with the contractor team to stake improvements and assist with quality control and as-built checks. Key Personnel: Kirk Adkins, Kristine McMahon, Adam Pummill, Cody Thorson, Danae Giannetti Missoula County Fairgrounds Mapping & Easements Missoula County, MT For the past several years, WGM has been providing surveying, planning, engineering, and landscape architecture services for redevelopment of the Missoula County Fairgrounds. Initial efforts included a Facilities Assessment Report, which required extensive survey and mapping. Field surveys were conducted to locate existing sewer, water, storm drainage, gas, electric, communication, and irrigation system components. This survey was intensive to account for 100 years of pieced-together improvements that were often not well documented. Site survey was also conducted for the structures inventory, to ensure an accurate site map was developed early in the process. Now seven years into the redevelopment process, we have designed and constructed multiple projects, many of which have required easements. We have written legal descriptions and dedication language, and prepared easement exhibits for over 3,000 feet of trail and over 5,500 feet of City sewer and water mains. Key Personnel: Kirk Adkins, Jon Gass Construction SurveyVarious Locations, MT WGM has provided layout for construction on hundreds of projects. The key to our success is a solid understanding of engineering design gained both on site and through interaction with WGM’s engineers. Our expertise provides extra value because we have the ability during staking to discern if something is amiss with a design feature, so errors can be corrected before improvements are built. Further, we build solid staking plans for contractors to follow and work collaboratively with construction superintendents to identify staking methods and answer questions so construction can be conducted without issue. Some of our relevant construction staking projects include: Airport Road Intersections – Kalispell, Kalispell ADA Ramps, Fairgrounds Road & Path - Hamilton, Central Avenue - Whitefish, Arlee and Polson School Sidewalks. Key Personnel: Kirk Adkins, Kristine McMahon WGM’s performance on the Kalispell ADA Upgrade project has been outstanding. The effort your team put in on the preliminary survey and right-of-way research helped us to get in front of a potential disaster as it relates to the existing sidewalks encroaching outside of the road right-of-way. MDT had the time to work with our ROW and Legal departments to establish our stance that the existing improvements outside ROW. We were able to avoid costly delays and cost escalation by not having to purchase new right-of-way at over 30 locations. - John Pavsek, PE, Alternative “ ” PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 18 SURVEYING KEY PROJECT STAFF Da n a e G i a n n e t t i Ma c e M a n g o l d Ky l e M a c e Cin d y K u n s Co d y T h o r s o n Er i c A n d e r s o n Ju l i e M e r r i t t Ka t e D i n s m o r e Kir k A d k i n s Ab b y I n d r e l a n d St e p h e n M c D a n i e l Tr e v o r I m a n Ma r k B a n c a l e Jo n G a s s Ad a m P u m m i l l Kr i s t i n e M c M a h o n Ju l i a n N i z z o l i Ch a r i t y Z e m k e Be n R a n k i n Mik e B r o d i e St e p h a n i e R e y n o l d s Na m e FI R M N A M E P.

KALISPELL PUBLIC WORKS | ENGINEERING SERVICES 25 PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE LAND ACQUISITION Acquiring land for projects requires a blend of design, appraisal, legal and interpersonal skills. WGM understands how to effectively manage the complexities of an acquisiton process. Our approach to right-of-way acquisition is to closely coordinate the design, public involvement, and negotiation process. This provides consistent information to the landowner and establishes a level of trust by demonstrating that we understand the landowner’s concerns.WGM has successfully negotiated rights-of-way for a large number of projects, including: • US 2 & Spring Drive/Sunset Drive• MT 200 & Old Highway 10• US Highway 93/Whitefish 2nd Street• Miller Creek Road Improvements• US Highway 93/Whitefish West• Us Highway 93/Hamilton to Victor• Madison Street Pedestrian Bridge• Brooks/South/Russell Intersection Brooks Street/Dore Lane Improvements Missoula, MT WGM acquired sidewalk and utility easements for the City of Missoula from three adjacent properties to facilitate reconstruction of Dore Lane. Work included ownership and encumbrance research, right-of-way retracement, preparing exhibits and agreements, and direct negotiations with landowners and attorneys. The easements, which were granted at no cost in exchange for the curb and sidewalk improvements, were acquired on a fast-track schedule in only four months. Key Personnel: Kirk Adkins, Mark Bancale US Highway 93/Whitefish 2nd Street Whitefish, MT WGM provided environmental, design, and right-of-way acquisition services for the US Highway 93/2nd Street Improvements TIGER project for the City of Whitefish. This project includes complete reconstruction of Highway 93 through downtown Whitefish, including sewer, water, and storm drain utilities. WGM, working with our sub-consultant Flaherty, Inc., successfully negotiated right-of-way from four downtown parcels within an aggressive nine-month schedule. Key Personnel: Kirk Adkins, Mark Bancale, Trevor Iman Third Street R/W Resolution Missoula, MT WGM worked with the City of Missoula on a 1.2-mile corridor improvement project to survey the existing right-of-way, resolve discrepancies, and acquire easements. WGM, along with the help of the Missoula County Survey division, performed extensive records research which identified two alterations to the right-of-way that had been missed by all prior title and survey work and were crucial to the project. These included a partial vacation of the right-of-way along the front of four properties, and a granting of additional right-of-way width along the front of two other properties. WGM identified a process to resolve the right-of-way in these areas, which included quitclaim deeds for a portion of the right-of-way. We will follow up with a Certificate of Survey that will retrace the newly created right-of-way in this area, provide document references, and monument the new right-of-way. WGM also initiated a right-of-way vacation process and submittal with the city, which included developing the petition and resolution language. WGM’s thorough research and innovative approach helped to keep this project on schedule, so that a dangerous and dated section of urban roadway could be upgraded to a safer and better functioning transportation facility.
