Re: Trunk Line A Sewer Alternatives Work Session Presentation
The workshop presentation is a continuation of the workshop from October 281h of last year.
Since the last presentation, Public Works developed and evaluated a few short-term alternatives
to the West Side Interceptor. Part of the evaluation included additional sanitary sewer modeling.
The presentation will provide a short review of the previous presentation, an overview of the
developed alternatives, the results of the modeling, and staff recommendations for the current
sewer allocation issues.
Enclosed handouts to Council include:
• Bullet discussion summary points — Outlining discussion topics to be detailed further at
the Work Session

• Signed by City as part of a new development plan approval.
• Required before development in the City can start construction.
• Tells Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) that
City staff has reviewed design and the design appears to be in
compliance with City and State standards.
• Also Tells MDEQ the City has adequate capacity for the supply of
water and disposal of sanitary sewer.
• Protects the interests and investments of new development by
reserving water and sewer capacities for approved developments.
• Although MDEQ approvals typically expire in 3 years, a
municipality's allocation does not expire.
• Under current City Policy, an MFE allocation would only be
revoked if a Preliminary Plat expires.

WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE?
ALTERNATIVE 1 - Lift Station Synchronization
• Quickest Alternative to Put in Action
• Cheapest Alternative ($20,000)
• No Throw -Away Cost
• Costs $138 per ERU Gained (145 ERUs Gained)
• At 2% growth rate, it could buy us about 9
months
ALTERNATIVES 2 Et 3 - Splitter Manholes
• Should be done together for best results
• Will be unnecessary when West Side Interceptor
is complete (Throw Away Cost - $270,000)
• Costs $1,400 per ERU Gained (193 ERUs Gained)
• At 2% growth rate, they could buy us about 1
year.
ALTERNATIVES 1, 2 Et 3
• 338 ERUs Gained
• $290,000
• Combined value of $858/ERU gained
• At 2% growth rate, could buy us 1.7

FUNDING
1 -Alternative 1 - Lift Station Synchronization
• Project funding split between impact fees and rates
• By limiting the pipe flow to the largest pumping rate, there is a
potential of 46.3% reduction in flow in the 3 Mile Drive force main.
This reduction in flow allows capacity for development. Therefore,
this project could be 46.3% funded by impact fees or $9,260.
• 53.7% or $10,740 of the project would have to come out of rates. This
was not a budgeted item. The rates portion of this project would have
to come from other line items in the sewer fund. Potentially,
remaining funds in the utility relocation for MDTs Hwy 93 Bypass at 3
Mile Drive.
2 - Alternatives 2 and 3 - Splitter Manhole
• Project would only serve growth so it could be paid completely by impact
fees.
Sewer Impact Fee Funds Available
• $1,652,240 at end of FY 13/14
• $250,000 in line item for main / lift station upsize a AtC`-C f
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
1 - Proceed with Alternative 1
• Alternative 1 provides the best value.
2 - Commit to the West Side Interceptor
• Send out a Request for Proposals to qualified engineering firms for the
design of the West Side Interceptor.
• Seek a temporary deviation from the MFE process to allow for new
development.
• The City would have to present our case to the DEQ Deviation
Committee in Helena.
• The Committee will vote on what we present.
• The City would need to provide specifics about how we would design,
fund, and construct the WSI.
3 - Wait on Alternatives 2 and 3
• Use the $270,000 that would be consumed by these two alternatives
and apply it towards the long term solution - the West Side Interceptor.

STAFF SEEK NG DI RECTI CN
1 -Alternative 1
• With direction from council, Public Works will move forward with the
purchase and installation of synchronization system for the 3 lift stations
on the 3 Mile Drive force main.
2 - Request for Proposals (RFPs)
• With direction from Council, Public Works will send out RFPs to qualified
engineering firms for planning and design of the West Side Interceptor.
3 - Other Direction(s)
• Other direction by Council?
