07-02-82 S&W Comm Minutes3:30 P. M. FRIDAY CONFERENCE ROOM JULY 2, 1982
Councilman Ruiz presided. Present were Mayor McDowell, Councilman Nystul and
Saveru_d, Director of Public Works Hafferman., Paul Stokes and Tom Flynn.
Paul Stokes, Stahly Engineering, explained that the application for the
construction grant for the wastewater treatment plant must be signed before
July 15, 1982. They are allowing us to apply for this grant before the design
is finished.
The construction will be financed 75/ grant and 25/ revenue bonds and sewer
funds. If 85/ grant money is available later, we will be allowed to apply
for the extra amount.
Mr. Stokes explained that Mr. Flynn will be doing a rate study on the sewer
use fee, $3,000 of which will be eligible under the grant and a separate
contract and $4,500 will be paid by the City.
The total construction cost will $1,942,000. Our portion will be $647,000.
The bond issue will be $900,000 to cover our cost plus existing liabilities
in the sewer fund. This includes money to pay back a loan from the storm
sewer to purchase the second Big "A".
Councilman Ruiz asked if the agreement with Stahly Engineers had been
reviewed by City Attorney Neier. He was assured that it would be before
the Tuesday evening council meeting.
Discussion on storm sewer charge; bond sale; sewer audit and sewer study
procedure.
Committee agreed and will recommend to the Council that the Mayor be author-
ized to sign application for grant; engineering agreement and contract with
Mr. Flynn.
Director of Public Works Hafferman asked the committee to agree to furnishing
300' of sewer pipe at $2.20 per foot or a total of $660.00, which will be
placed under the airport runway. The sewer will connect with the Robert Monk
property and Mr. Monk will do the work. Committee agreed to go ahead with
the project.
Councilman Ruiz read a letter from Keith Allred, Superintendent of Schools,
asking that the City Council, Flathead County Commissioners and School Board
discuss a city water line to the Flathead County Nursing Home and the Vo-Ag
Building. Councilman Ruiz said he would set a date for the discussion.
Director of Public Works will write a statement recommending that a source of
water reach that area. He said it would be good to have water to 4-Corners
and across to Foys Bend.
Discussion on new water line on Main Street. The line will be installed two
blocks at a time and the line and extension to each service will be tested
before proceeding to the next two blocks. They started at Center and are
proceeding south. Center Street will be open to traffic by the middle of

SUBJECT: Water Service Map by Hardy Cross Method
DATE: September 9, 1982
Attached is a proposal from J, Jay Billmayer, P, E,, with regard to the above
subject. This project is included in the budget item "Consultants", and was
programmed for $6,000,
The need for this project is summarized as follows:
1. Existing Conditions, It is necessary to know the shortfalls
of the existing system serving the present population, As
sections are replaced, the sizes can be increased if a bottle-
neck exists and, in some cases, it may be possible to add
short sections (less than 1,000 feet) to the grid to improve
service.
2. Capabilities of the Existing System'to Serve More Customers.
It is an objective to serve as many additional customers as
possible on the existing system without decreasing services
to the current customer. Each site of new development has
certain limiting features. If the demand for water at a new
site exceeds the capabilities of the existing system, it is
the responsibility of the Developer to make improvements to the
present system to meet the demand of the proposed development,
3. Projection of the Foreseeable Service Area. The objective is
to project a logical service area for the imaginable future,
As the City replaces components and Developers improve or ex-
tend the existing system, the needs of future developments be-
come imperative, The City can require increased facility sizes
above the needs of a particular development, provided the City
pays the cost of oversizing. The City can have a basis for
oversizing components.
Some of the shortfalls of the existing system are already known through our ex-
perience, and the work done by the students at Montana State University has
brought to light other weaknesses not so obvious.

We are now in the throes of requiring the developer of Treasure State Plaza to
make improvements to the existing system in order to meet fire flow require-
ments. Throught the information this project will garner, we can have a plan
available which will minimize such unfortunate and costly incidents.
Oversizing of lines is always costly. With the configuration of the existing
system, we need factual information on pipe sizing. The cost of this project
can be saved many times over by avoiding oversizing beyond need or installation
of cross piping which provides minimal benefit.
I recommend we accept Jay Billmayerts proposal. Mr. Billmayer is experienced
with this specialized engineering and he has and is working closely with MSU
on just such analysis.

Re: Kalispell Water System, Engineering Analysis
Gentlemen:
We are pleased to propose the following Scope of Work and
Fee Quote for a comprehensive Engineering Analysis of the dater
supply and distribution facilities of Kalispell. The developed
information will serve to guide the city in selection of expansion
and rehabilitation projects and assist the city in assessing the
impact of developments utilizing city services.
Upon your authorization we are prepared to start work immediately.
Respectfully Submitted

SCOPE OF 14ORK
1. SYSTEM REVIEW.
A. Research of existing reports, as built plans of distribution grid,
pump stations and storage reservoirs. Review of flow and reservoir
draw down records, and hydrant tests.
B. On site inspection to acquire flow and pressure measurements of
selected segments of the distribution grid. Review of operational
logic and switch settings for pump stations.
2. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS.
A. Determination of maximum hourly, maximum daily demand for current
service area.
B. Identify existing and currently anticipated high fire flow areas
together with areas of future high fire flow as determined by the
comprehensive plan. The city will provide the fire flow rates for
the identified areas.
C. Computer modeling of existing system.
1) Runs based on imposed demands and pressures at selected node
points will be made to calibrate the model.
2) System performance will be simulated for the following conditions:
a) Fire Flows - Central - Business
Commercial Strip - West & East
Commercial Strip - North & South
b) Maximum hourly, maximum daily flow with existing
grid and storage.
c) Simulation with residual pressure fixed at selected points
on the 'distribution system.

3. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS. Critical areas identified by
field observations and computer modeling will be cited. Apparent
supply capability at residual pressure will be indicated for areas
of high development potential. Recommend long range trunk mains
future well sites and future storages requirements for a growth area
established by the director of Public Works.
4. ABOVE INFORMATION. will be assembled in a report format and 4 copies
submitted to the City Council. The report will provide sufficient
information that the City can reprogram a computer to supply information
as growth occurs.
FEE SCHEDULE AND CONDITIONS
1. Fee for Engineering services and all anticipated expenses shall be fixed
at $5800.00
2. Billings will be forwarded on a monthly basis as costs acrew with pay-
ment due 15 days after date of invoice.
3. Should it be requested, a presentation will be made before the City
Council 60 days from date of authorization to proceed.
4. Mr. Hafferman has indicated city personnel will be assisting in collet—
tion of data, we have accordingly reduced our fee in anticipation of
that assistance.
