o. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) evaluates the water distribution system in 4t" Ave E
between E Center St and 14t" St E, and 14t" Street between 3rd Ave E and 4t" Ave E. This
document discusses the project planning, the existing facilities, the need for the project, the
alternatives considered, and the selection of an alternative for construction.
a) Project Planning
The project is four blocks east of Highway 93, is bounded to the north by East Center Street,
and is bounded to the south by 14t" Street East.
The project is not anticipated to have any environmental impacts, but does pass through two
sites listed on the Montana National Register of Historic Places. These sites are: Cornelius
Hedges Elementary School, and Kalispell East Side Historic District. The project will be limited
to work inside street right-of-way. Therefore, the proposed project is not proposed to change the
character or historical presence of the area.
Current population growth is estimated at 2.1 %. The areas surrounding the project are some of
the oldest parts of the city and are therefore fully built out. This project is not expected to impact
growth in the City.
A peripheral impact of the project will be a change to traffic patterns. Currently both 3rd Ave E
and 4t" Ave E are one-way streets. At the conclusion of this project, both streets will be modified
to allow two-way traffic. The intent of the change in traffic routing is to modify the use and feel of
the street from a collector/arterial to a neighborhood local street and is recommended by the
Kalispell Area Transportation Plan.
b) Existing Facilities
The water distribution system was the earliest utility in the Townsite, with 6 inch Kalemein water
main being extended down 4th Ave E (the project area) prior to the City's purchase of the water
utility in 1913. Other materials used in the early water distribution system included Spiral Weld
Pipe, Wood Stave Pipe, and Matheson Joint Pipe. After the City purchased the water system,
Cast Iron Pipe was required as the standard pipe for all new and replacement construction.
The 8 inch and 6 inch Cast Iron Pipe currently serving residents on 4th Ave East as part of
Kalispell's water distribution system has been plagued with water main and service breaks. The
Cast Iron Pipe water main is thought to have been installed in the 1930's to replace the failing
mains installed as part of the original water distribution system. Additionally, corrosion failures
have begun to occur.
Fire hydrants within the project area are approaching 100 years old. Crews cannot service these
hydrants as most are not city standard hydrants and replacement parts are no longer available.
Residential services pipe types include lead, galvanized, copper, and newer HDPE lines (for
services that have been replaced). Repairs to the lines are exacerbated by the original double -
slide gate valves, which often do not completely seal, making isolation for repairs more difficult.
c) Need for
In the past three years, city crews have recorded nine repairs to this section of the distribution
system. All underground utility repairs impose a risk to health and sanitation due to the nature of
the work required for the repair. Potential health risks include pedestrian safety in the work
zone, trench safety, dewatering impacts, and traffic control issues. Potential sanitation risks
include exposure to contaminants from excavation equipment, replacement parts, soil
contaminants, and human contact. Additionally, emergency repairs include a risk of damage to
other utilities, private property, and city crews.
Concerns about the impacts of water hammer on the old lines and hydrants during emergency
situations will be mitigated with the installation of new hydrants, fittings, valves, PVC mains, and
other related appurtenances.
A peripheral benefit of the project will be the removal of existing lead services and lead joint
packing within the distribution system. This is not a measureable improvement, but removes the
potential for lead exposure to the water distribution system within the project area.
The frequency of repairs and associated risks are expected to increase if the current facilities
stay in service.
d) Alternatives Considered and Recommended ProjecL
The following three alternatives were considered:
• Do Nothing
• Full Replacement by Trenching Methods
• Full Replacement by Pipe Bursting
The "Do Nothing" alternative does not solve the current issues with the water distribution system
which are expected to increase with time. The "Full Replacement by Pipe Bursting" would not be
cost effective and could not be completed meeting current design and construction standards.
The only viable option is "Full Replacement by Trenching Methods" which is recommended.
The recommended project is estimated to cost approximately $4 million. Construction of the
project is anticipated to begin in May of 2017 and be completed by September of 2017. The
recommended project is anticipated to be funded through a State Revolving Fund loan. An
increase in rates is not anticipated as being necessary.
1. PROJECT PLANNING
a) Location
The 4th Avenue East Water Replacement project is located in the City of Kalispell, part of the
Upper Flathead Valley of Montana. The Upper Flathead Valley is a broad agricultural area
generally surrounded by the foothills and mountains of the Flathead National Forest, Stillwater
State Forest, and Glacier National Park. The project is four blocks east of Highway 93, is
bounded to the north by East Center Street, and is bounded to the south by 14t" Street East.
Please reference Figure 1 on the next page.
More specifically, the project lies wholly in Sections 8 and 17 of Township 28 North, Range 21
West, of the Prime Meridian Montana. The project provides water service to the half of blocks
39-42, 59-62, 79-82, 99-102, 119-122, and 136-139 fronting 4th Ave E in the Kalispell Original
Townsite; the half of blocks 211 & 212 fronting 4th Ave E in the Kalispell Addition Number
Three; and half of blocks 249 & 250 fronting 4th Ave E in the Kalispell Addition Number Seven.
b) Environmental Resources Present
1) Wells
Using the well mapper from the Groundwater Information Center (GWIC), well data was
obtained for the area and is included in Appendix A. This project is not anticipated to have any
effect on these wells.
2) SOilS
The surficial soils in the planning area are shown on the soils map in Appendix B. Utilizing the
USDA Web Soil Survey site, the predominate soil type (96.0%) for two blocks east and west of
the project was defined as "Urban Land". This soil type does not provide any additional detail
about soils beneath the urban improvements. The southern limits of the project include 3.3%
Kalispell Loam and 0.7% Saline -Alkali Land.
Based on previous projects and staff experience in the area, typical street native subgrade soils
contain a high percentage of expansive, poorly draining clays. City standards require trench
backfill to be imported 3" minus material meeting MPWSS section 02234 requirements for
crushed subbase.
The standard street surfacing section consists of 9-12" of select subbase, 6" of 3/4" crushed
base, and 4" of asphalt. This durable surfacing section has been developed over the years as
being the minimum surfacing section required due to the presence of clays in large portions of
the City.

3) Floodplains
FEMA Flood Plain mapping was obtained from the Flathead County Interactive Mapping data. A
map of the project area is included in Appendix C. The map shows that all of the project will be
located outside of the 100-yr flood plain.
4) Wetlands
Wetlands were identified using the Montana Wetland and Riparian Framework map service.
According to the metadata description, this data includes the "areal extent of wetlands and
deepwater habitats defined by Cowardin et al (2013) and riparian areas as defined by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (2009)." A map of the project area is included in Appendix D. The map
shows that all of the project is located outside of identified wetlands.
.istorical / Cultural Resources
The website for the Montana National Register of Historic Places was utilized to develop a list of
historic places within the project boundary. A review of the list produced two results: Cornelius
Hedges Elementary School, and Kalispell East Side Historic District.
The Cornelius Hedges Elementary School property is bounded by 8t" St E to the north, 4t" Ave E
to the west, 9t" St E to the South, and 6t" Ave E to the east. The front door of the school faces
4t" Ave E, the project street.
The Kalispell East Side Historic District is bounded by E Center St to the north, 1 st Ave E to the
west, 13t" St E to the south, and Woodland Ave to the East. The project street generally bisects
the historic district into generally equal east and west halves. The proposed project is not
proposed to change the character or historical presence of the area. The focus of this project is
on the underground water utilities. However, as a result of the construction required for
replacement of water main and utilities, the street will also be reconstructed. The street width
will meet the city standard for a local street of 32 feet from back of curb to back of curb.
Improvements will also be made at intersections to ensure sidewalk handicap ramps are
compliant with Federal ADA standards.
6) Other Peripheral Impacts
Currently, 4t" Ave E is a one-way street for northbound traffic between 14t" St and Center St.
This street is paired with southbound one-way traffic on 3rd Ave E. At the initiation of the project,
3rd Ave E will be modified into a permanent two-way street. This will serve in part as a detour
route for 4t" Ave E local traffic. At the completion of the work on 4t" Ave E, the street will also be
modified to two-way traffic. The intent of the change in traffic routing is to modify the use and
feel of the street from a collector/arterial to a neighborhood local street. The narrow street with
parking and two-way traffic will match other local streets in the City, including the adjacent
streets in the Historic District. This narrow roadway acts as a traffic calming technique to slow
down vehicles in the residential neighborhoods.
'opulation Trends
Kalispell is the 7t" largest city in Montana. Of the 10 largest cities in Montana, Kalispell had the
highest percentage increase in population between 2000 and 2010. According to the 2010
census numbers, Kalispell had a population of 19,927-1 a 40.1 percent increase since the 2000
census. The population in 2015 was estimated by the Census Bureau as 22,052-1 a 10.7 percent
increase since 2010 or an average annual increase of 2.1 %.
The areas surrounding the project are some of the oldest parts of the city and are therefore fully
built out. This project is not expected to impact growth in the City.
d) Community Engagement
A Public Meeting will be held to discuss the project and adopt the findings of this report.
An additional meeting is planned to discuss the conversion of the traffic from one-way to two-
way for both 3rd and 4t" Ave East which will be accomplished in concert with the construction of
the recommended project.

b) History
Most of the 4th Ave E project is within the Original Townsite for the City of Kalispell, which was
platted in 1891. The portion of the project between 12th St E and 13th St E was platted in 1909
as part of the plat filed as Addition Number Three. Finally, the most southerly portion of the
project area was added to the City of Kalispell as Addition Number Seven, platted in 1910. The
Original Townsite and both additions referenced above were originally developed by the
Kalispell Townsite Company.

The water distribution system was the earliest utility in the Townsite, with 6 inch Kalemein water
main being extended down 4th Ave E (the project area) prior to the City's purchase of the water
utility in 1913. Other materials used in the early water distribution system included Spiral Weld
Pipe, Wood Stave Pipe, and Matheson Joint Pipe. After the City purchased the water system,
Cast Iron Pipe was required as the standard pipe for all new and replacement construction.
c) Condition of the Existing Facilities
The 8 inch and 6 inch Cast Iron Pipe currently serving residents on 4th Ave East as part of
Kalispell's water distribution system has been plagued with water main and service breaks. The
Cast Iron Pipe water main is thought to have been installed in the 1930's to replace the failing
mains installed as part of the original water distribution system. Much of the Cast Iron Pipe is
oversized, requiring special couplings and oversized clamps for repairs. To maintain watertight
joints in this time period, annular spaces between the bells and spigots of the pipe were packed
with lead. These leaded joints tend to loosen with ground movement, creating weeps, and
sometimes forming into leaks requiring repair.
f
Figure 5 - Cast Iron Pipe failure from 5th Ave W. This
pipe has a similar construction date as 4th Ave E.
Additionally, corrosion failures have
begun to occur. Typical failures occur
from patch corrosion, affectionately
referred to as "barnacles" by the
maintenance crews. As these barnacles
form, they can be quite secure. However,
as the pipe is stressed through internal
forces (water pressure, surges, etc.) and
external forces (soil movement, heaving,
etc.) the barnacles can break loose,
causing pipe failure.
Fire hydrants within the project area are
approaching 100 years old. Crews
cannot service these hydrants as most
are not city standard hydrants and
replacement parts are no longer
available.
Residential services pipe types include
lead, galvanized, copper, and newer
HDPE lines (for services that have been
replaced). Repairs to the lines are
exacerbated by the original double -slide
gate valves, which often do not
completely seal, making isolation for
repairs more difficult.
In the past three years, city crews have recorded nine repairs to this section of the distribution
system. Although long time water distribution maintenance crew members recall many more
repairs beyond the last three years, the City's asset management system was not in place to
record earlier work orders.
d) Financial Status of the Existing Facilities
Applicable portions of the City of Kalispell Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are included
in Appendix E. The appendix includes the Table of Contents for the report, the Independent
Auditor's Report, and the Proprietary Fund Statements. The full report is available on the city
website: https://www.time.ci.kalispell.mt.us/weblink/0,0,0/doc/70848/Pagel.aspx .
Resolution No. 5491 is included in Appendix F. Exhibit A of the resolution breaks out rates for
water, sewer, and solid waste.
Water fund Operation and Maintenance are included in Appendix G. A breakout of energy costs
is shown on page 5 of this summary.
Usage tabulations are included in Appendix H. Please note, the city switched to monthly billing
in January of 2016, so bi-monthly usages are tabulated for the months preceding this change in
billing (approximately half of customers received a bill one month, and the remaining customers
received a bill the following month, each bill was for two months of usage). A full fiscal year of
monthly usage is not yet available.
Information on the current Water Debt is included in Appendix I. This appendix includes a
summary of current Water Debt as well as the payment schedule (terms end in 2027) on the
debt.
e) Water Audits
In-house and third party leak detection surveys are conducted on the water distribution system
at varying intervals. The last leak detection performed on the entire project area was conducted
in April of 2013. See appendix J for the entire report. The findings of the leak detection indicated
a small leak in a valve packing that requiring repair. Due to the presence of clay soils in this
area, significant water loss is typically identified by city staff and customers because of the
predominant surfacing of leaks. As leaks occur and are identified, they are repaired.
3. NEED FOR PROJECT
a) Health, Sanitation, and Security
There are currently no health, sanitation, or security violations within the project area. However,
there have been numerous emergency repairs within the project area. In the last three years,
nine repairs were made. Each repair includes a risk of contamination to the water distribution
system.
All underground utility repairs impose a risk to health and sanitation due to the nature of the
work required for the repair. Potential health risks include pedestrian safety in the work zone,
trench safety, dewatering impacts, and traffic control issues. Potential sanitation risks include
exposure to contaminants from excavation equipment, replacement parts, soil contaminants,
and human contact. Additionally, emergency repairs include a risk of damage to other utilities,
private property, and city crews.
As previously discussed, some fire hydrants within the project area are approaching 100 years
of active service life and pose a risk of security. Current City Standards require fire hydrants to
be installed with Storz adapters which allow quicker connections to the pumper nozzle during
emergencies. Storz adapters are not installed on the fire hydrants within the project area, but
will be installed on all new hydrants as part of the project. Additionally, concerns about the
impacts of water hammer on the old lines and hydrants during emergency situations will be
mitigated with the installation of new hydrants, PVC mains, fittings, valves, and related
appurtenances.
A peripheral benefit of the project will be the removal of existing lead services and lead joint
packing within the distribution system. This is not a measureable improvement, but removes the
potential for lead exposure to the water distribution system within the project area.
b) Aging Infrastructure
A previously discussed in Section 2.c above, the cast iron water mains currently in use within
the project area have been in use since the 1930's. A review of available records and
communications with maintenance crews indicate that previous repairs include repair of weeps
from joints in the water main, pipe failures due to corrosion, water service line failures, water
valve bonnet leaks, and fire hydrant leaks.
Additionally, some of the fire hydrants within the project cannot be repaired without full
replacement due to the unavailability of replacement parts. City crews have recorded nine work
order repairs to the distribution system within the project area in the last three years. The
frequency of repairs is expected to increase if the current facilities stay in service.
c) Reasonable Growth
The project area is located within one of the oldest areas of the City of Kalispell. New growth
within the service area is not expected.
4. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
a) Alternative 1 — No Action
The "No Action" alternative is not a viable option in the case of the distribution system in 4t" Ave
E. The infrastructure has far surpassed its design life. Crews and residents are experiencing an
increase in failures on both the main and services.
The consequences of failure of the existing water distribution system will result in public and
private property damage, interruptions in service, revenue losses, and public safety concerns.
b) Alternative 2 — Full Replacement with Trenching Methods
1) Description
This alternative includes replacement of the existing water distribution system through standard
trenching construction methods for approximately 15 blocks of the water distribution system.
This alternative would connect to new water main in the intersection of 4t" Ave East and East
Center Street (installed in 2014) and extend south 14 blocks to 14t" St East, where it would turn
east and extend to 3rd Ave East where it would connect to new water main (installed in 2016) in
the intersection of 3rd Ave East and 14t" St East.
Intersections with existing connections to the distribution system between East Center St and
14t" St East would be reconnected to existing mains at the east and west limits of the
intersection. These intersections include 6t" Street East and 12t" Street East.
The new distribution main would include 8 inch DR18 C900 PVC, Mueller resilient wedge gate
valves, C153 ductile iron fittings, Muller Super Centurion fire hydrants, tracing wire, and other
appurtenances typical to water main construction.
As services are replaced, Mueller Thermo -coil water meter pits would be installed within the
boulevard to meet current standards for the city. Services will be replaced to the far edges of the
boulevard area. A typical replacement would include new service saddles, corporations stops,
Class 150 C901 PE service pipe, curb stops, meter pits, and couplers to connect to existing
service lines.
Due to the impacts of the construction, full street reconstruction is anticipated.
2) Design and Construction Criteria
The replacement water distribution system will be designed, constructed, and tested in
accordance with the current edition of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality —
Circular DEQ 1 — Standards for Water Works, the current Montana Public Works Standard
Specifications, and the current City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction.
3) Map
An overview map of this alternative is provided in Figure 6, on the next page.
This alternative would replace existing infrastructure in a developed residential area of the City
of Kalispell. This project will not impact floodplains, wetlands, land resources, or endangered
species. Waste materials from this alternative are expected to include: soils, concrete, asphalt,
cast iron pipe, water appurtenances, and trees. Project wastes would be the responsibility of the
contractor, but an option for disposal includes the Flathead County Landfill.
The Montana National Register of Historic Places lists two items within the project area:
Cornelius Hedges Elementary School, and Kalispell East Side Historic District.
The Cornelius Hedges Elementary School property is bounded by 81" St E to the north, 4t" Ave E
to the west, 9t" St E to the South, and 6t" Ave E to the east. The front door of the school faces
4t" Ave E, the project street.
The Kalispell East Side Historic District is bounded by E Center St to the north, 1 st Ave E to the
west, 13t" St E to the south, and Woodland Ave to the East. The project street generally bisects
the historic district into generally equal east and west halves. This alternative is not proposed to
change the character or historical presence of the area. The focus of this alternative is on the
underground water utilities. However, as a result of the construction required for replacement of
water main and utilities, the street will also be reconstructed. The street width will meet the city
standard for a local street of 32 feet from back of curb to back of curb. Improvements will also
be made at intersections to ensure sidewalk handicap ramps are compliant with Federal ADA
standards.
The Environmental Checklist and agency response letters are included in Appendix K.
5) Land Requirements
This alternative would be constructed within existing street right-of-way. Staging areas would be
the responsibility of the contractor. Additional easements or property purchases are not
anticipated.
6) Potential Construction Problems
This alternative includes overhead and underground utilities parallel to and crossing the
proposed alignment. The contractor will be required to locate and work around existing utilities.
Utilities include overhead power, overhead telephone, underground gas, and underground
cable.
Groundwater was encountered during a recent project on 14t" Street. Groundwater has not been
encountered in other areas of the project. If groundwater is encountered with this alternative, the
contractor would be required to dewater the trench, protect new piping from inflow, and ensure
stable soil materials for the pipe. Quantities for Type 2 Pipe Bedding would be included in the
alternative in case unsuitable soils are encountered.
The project fronts an elementary school. Therefore, project timing, public service
announcements and traffic control considerations will need to account for bus routing, student
drop-offs, and student pick-ups.
7) Sustainability Considerations
A benefit of this alternative would be a mitigation of water loss due to leaks or breaks within the
project area which will reduce revenue losses and water production requirements. Water
production requirements also affect electrical demand on the well pumps and water treatment
equipment required in water production.

c) Alternative 3 — Full Replacement with by Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting was considered as an alternative to reduce construction costs. Pipe bursting has a
higher cost per foot for pipe installation, but construction costs can sometimes be saved in other
areas, such as concrete replacement, asphalt replacement, and traffic control.
Pipe bursting is best fit to projects where excavation requirements are limited, such as
transmission mains. In this case, excavation would be required at every intersection for the
installation of valves and fire hydrants, and about 12 times per block for the installation of water
services.
Pipe bursting also requires temporary water services to be provided during construction and
testing. Additionally, marring of the pipe during installation can make the gasket contact areas
during installation of service saddles and fittings more difficult.
Further, due to the process of bursting, the new pipe would follow the old pipe alignment.
However, much of cast iron pipe currently in the system is installed with only 4 to 5 feet of cover.
This doesn't meet current City standards for design and construction.
For these reasons, this alternative did not proceed beyond initial consideration.
5. SELECTION OF AN ALTERNATIVE
Alternative 2 was selected as the only viable option. A detailed life cycle cost analysis and
evaluation of non -monetary factors were not necessary for selection of the recommended
alternative.
a) Preliminary Project Design
The recommended project will replace approximately 15 blocks of existing 8" and 6" cast iron
water main with 8" DR18 C900 PVC using standard trenching construction methods. The project
will include installation of new services and water meter pits. Street reconstruction will be
necessary due to the disturbance of the existing roadway. ADA ramps will be improved as
necessary within intersections. All design and construction will follow MDEQ Circular 1
Standards for Water Works, Montana Public Works Standard Specifications, and the City of
Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction.

The contractor selected for the project will be required to obtain a Stormwater Permit, a Right -of -
Way Permit, and a Tree Permit from the City of Kalispell. No other permits are anticipated as
being necessary or required.
d) Total Project Costs
The project is estimated to cost approximately $4 million including, 15% contingencies. All
design and construction engineering will be completed using city staff. This should save the
project an estimated $400,000 (10% construction costs) in design engineering fees and an
estimated $400,000 (10% construction costs) in construction engineering fees. See section
4.b.8 for more detail concerning the cost estimate. A more precise cost estimate will be
developed based on final plans for the project.
The project is anticipated to be funded through a State Revolving Fund loan over a 20 or 30
year period. An increase in rates is not anticipated as being necessary

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
City Council Members
City of Kalispell
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Kalispell, Montana (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements
as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Kalispell, as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash
flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note J to the financial statements, the 2015 financial statements have been restated to
correct a misstatement. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
12
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that the management's discussion and
analysis on pages 15-26, Schedule of Funding Progress and Employer Contributions on page 87, Schedule of
Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability on page 88, Schedule of Contributions on page 89 and
Budgetary Comparison Schedules on pages 94-92 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain
limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the
basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual non -major
fund financial statements, budgetary comparisons, and the statistical section, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual non -major fund financial statements, and budgetary comparisons (other than the
major funds), are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the combining and individual non -major fund financial statements, and budgetary comparisons
(other than the major funds), are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a
whole.
The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance
on them.
13
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2016
on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Re: April 2013 Water Leak Detection Survey and Pinpointing Project
Dear Mr. Guckenburg:
Utility Services Associates, LLC, (USA) is pleased to submit the enclosed Final Report on leak
detection services recently completed.
The information contained in this Final Report details the procedures and results specific to
this project. When applicable, recommendations have been made concerning the best
approach for the repair of leaks detected and preparation for future leak detection projects.
As you review this Final Report, please pay close attention to the Leak Consultant's
remarks and field observations in the Project Observation section of this report. These
may assist you in determining the best course of action regarding specific leaks.
At times specific individual Leak Reports may differ in the Final Report from those
provided during the course of the project. These changes, usually insignificant,
generally pertain to the manner in which we report leaks and do not alter the methods
used or results of pinpointing.
We strongly suggest you contact us prior to excavating any leak that we have labeled
with "CAUTION" for further explanation.
This leak detection project is productive since we pinpointed leakage that, when repaired, can
reduce your water loss, saving City of Kalispell dollars now and in the future. We appreciate
your confidence in USA. If you have any questions, call us at (877) 585-5325 or (206) 244-
0370.
Sincerely,
Rob Meston

PROJECT OBSERVATIONS
PROJECT OBSERVATIONS
(Water Distribution Lines)
GENERAL
On April 03, 2014 USA completed a 3-day leak detection survey on various areas of the water
system for the City of Kalispell in Kalispell, MT. The notes below have been generated by our
Leak Consultant and have been included as part of the Executive Summary.
SPECIFICS
The survey was broken down in two different phases:
1. Survey Phase — sounding of appurtenances and recording leak type noises that were
detected.
2. Pinpointing Phase — pinpointing noises that were detected during the Survey Phase.
1. Survey Phase Information
The scope of the project was focused on spot checks throughout the system. Most of the lines
checked fall under the 2013 paving areas. Areas checked for re -paving include:
• California St.
• Northern Lights
3d Ave. W.
• 6in Ave. W.
• 71h Ave. W.
Woodland Ave.
• Greendale Ct.
We did not detect any leaks on the lines in these areas. Once this list was complete, we moved
on to our standard system survey of lines in the eastern part of the water system. Additional
areas surveyed included routine survey of the East Section of the distribution system.
The survey was conducted in a standard method, making contact with appurtenances in 300' or
so distance. Appurtenances were found in mostly good condition, although several were buried
and inaccessible.
Overall, the survey portion of this project went very well.
2. Pinrmintina Phase Information
As a result of the survey, we were able to locate and pinpoint two (2) leaks. More information
follows. For additional information and a drawing of each leak, please refer to the Final Report
section of this Final Report.
Leak Report 1— 728 2Id Ave.
Small leak detected and pinpointed to curb stop, which will require repair.
Leak Report #2 — 4rh Ave. E. and e St. E.
This is a small valve packing leak, which needs repair.
CONCLUSION
We were able to locate and pinpoint leakage, indicating that leaks do not readily surface in the
system, although overall, the areas checked were found in very good condition. Make note of
any discrepancies in our estimates as they may have a substantial effect on non -revenue water
calculations.
We would like to thank Chad Wambach and Monty Loudermilk for their field assistance, which
proved invaluable. We look forward to working with you in the future.

SURVEY PHASE REVIEW
SURVEY PHASE REVIEW
(Water Distribution Lines)
The first step in our survey was to review the distribution maps of the system for familiarization
of the pipe network and available appurtenances to be used for contact points.
As the leak survey progressed, we determined the distances that even quiet leak type sounds
traveled in various pipe materials, pipe sizes and pressure zones in each area of the system.
This might have been done by slightly turning on fire hydrants, hose bibs, etc., creating a
simulated, quiet leak sound. Appurtenances in that area were then checked with a sound
amplification instrument to see how far the simulated leak sounds traveled, thus determining
how often we would make contact with appurtenances in a given section of the water
distribution system. In most areas, contact was made with pipe appurtenances at intervals no
greater than 300 feet where contact points were available and accessible at pre -determined
distances as noted in Paragraph B (whichever distance is necessary to obtain complete
coverage). This allowed for even more quiet leaks to be located. Whenever we surveyed PVC
lines, all available appurtenances were contacted.
We then conducted a comprehensive survey by making physical contact with all available main
line appurtenances (valves, hydrants, etc.) and necessary customer services. USA used a
sonic leak detection amplification instrument designed for this purpose.

When normal contact points were not available or could not be created within a reasonable
distance, we made an attempt to use a sonic ground listening instrument to make physical
ground contact at intervals no greater than 6 feet directly over the pipe. If conditions did not
allow this procedure our Leak Consultant advised you at time of project and notes of such are
included in the Project Observations. Ground listening devices are employed when ground
cover is pavement, cement or similar hard surface.
When ground cover was not a hard surface and normal contact points were not available, we
made an attempt to use probe rods or a specially designed sounding plate at 6-foot intervals. A
sound amplification instrument with 3VG or greater transducer was employed in conjunction
with this equipment, directly over the pipe. If conditions did not allow this procedure our Leak
Consultant advised you at time of project and was detailed in the Project Observations section
of this Final Report. Direct contact to the main line at intervals outlined in Preparation for
Service resulted in the most thorough survey.
A detailed report of decibel levels at suspected leak sound locations and observations were
compiled during the survey for reinvestigation and possible pinpointing at a later time. This
reinvestigation increased the speed of the survey and eliminated correlating on most false leak
sounds.

PINPOINTING PHASE REVIEW
PINPOINTING PHASE REVIEW
(Water Distribution Lines)
All indications of leaks found during the survey were verified a second time, after which, the leaks
were pinpointed with a computer based sound correlator when possible. Pinpointing leak locations
through interpretation of sound intensity, either by ear, decibel metering or other like methods was
not used when contact points were available for use with the correlator. However, ground listening
devises were used as a quick double check on pinpointed leaks.
The equipment used did not normally require valves to be operated during surveying and
pinpointing. However, on occasion, services or valves were operated to eliminate service draw
noises or to change velocity noise.
The correlator equipment used had the capability to prompt the operator to input the variables
when different pipe sizes and/or pipe material were encountered in the same span to be
investigated. This is necessary to insure accuracy of results based on the automatic computation
of the correct leak sound velocity in leak pinpointing operations. Our correlators have the
capability of correlating up to seven various pipe sizes and types at one time in a given space. To
insure effective performance in all field environments encountered in the distribution system (i.e.
traffic noise, draw, pump operation, industrial noise, etc.), the correlator equipment provides 16
auto filter options and/or infinite manual filter options.
We provided a copy of leak reports, when pinpointed, which included leak locations and estimated
GPM loss.

These leak reports, also included a leak repair priority classification. These classifications are as
follows:
Class I Any leak which is hazardous in terms of potential undermining, possibly resulting in
surface collapse, encroachment and/or damage to nearby utilities, commercial or private
properties or leaks severe enough to warrant immediate repair.
Class II All leaks that display water losses significant enough to be monitored on a regular repair
schedule.
Class III Relatively small leaks that should be repaired as workload permits.

Whenever any of the leaks detected by USA were repaired prior to completion of the field work,
we gave City of Kalispell the option to have that section of the system re -surveyed to be sure no
very quiet leaks were missed due to an over powering noisy leak sound.
Please note that leakage that was detected and pinpointed may be larger or smaller than
estimated. Estimates are based on several variables including type and size of pipe, pressure and
interpretation of correlation filter results.

LEAK SURVEY CONCLUSION
Our thanks to Matt Guckenburg and all persons involved with this project for their assistance in
gathering all the necessary paperwork and personnel to create, with USA, a mutually beneficial
leak detection project.
With this survey you have demonstrated concern for prudent water utilization and conservation.
Capitalizing on the most advanced leak detection technology available today, USA has
successfully completed this Leak Detection Survey. The contents of this Final Report provide City
of Kalispell with a permanent record of the activities performed to complete a Leak Survey along
with the results achieved.
An important characteristic of this Leak Report is that the facts contained herein can be used in
formulating a database for decision making regarding: the need for possible future meter
programs, rehabilitation and pipe line replacement and/or the investigation of new water sources,
etc. These types of decisions, regarding your utilization of water, now can be predicated more on
facts rather than supposition or conjecture.
Prompt repair of any leaks reported provide an immediate benefit to City of Kalispell, which
includes recovery of most water revenue and water conservation, etc.
Having achieved these results, we recommend that you continue to set up the infrastructure
necessary to continue investigating leakage in the water distribution system. Implementation of
any on -going leak survey program will ensure that leak losses are kept to a minimum, and the
added enhancement of saving costs due to emergency call outs.
Utility Services Associates, LLC, is proud to have served City of Kalispell in this way and we wish
to thank you for your substantial assistance and cooperation in this project.
If you or your staff has any questions regarding this Final Report, please feel free to call us at
(877) 585-5325 or (206) 244-0370.

Dear Mr. Haskins:
I have conducted a cultural resource file search for the above -cited project located in Sections 8, 17
T28N R21W. According to our records there have been a few previously recorded sites within the
designated search locales. In addition to the sites there have been a few previously conducted
cultural resource inventories done in the areas. If you would like any further information regarding
these sites or reports, you may contact me at the number listed below.
It is SHPO's position that any structure over fifty years of age is considered historic and is potentially
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. If any structures are to be altered and
are over fifty years old, we would recommend that they be recorded and a determination of their
eligibility be made.
As long as there will be no disturbance or alteration to structures over fifty years of age we feel that
there is a low likelihood cultural properties will be impacted. We, therefore, feel that a
recommendation for a cultural resource inventory is unwarranted at this time. However, should
structures need to be altered or if cultural materials be inadvertently discovered during this project
we would ask that our office be contacted and the site investigated.
If you have any further questions or comments, you may contact me at (406) 444-7767 or by e-mail

Dear Mr. Haskins:
We are responding to your request for potential U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulated
activities regarding the above -referenced project. Specifically, you are proposing to replace a
segment of a water main. The project is located within Section 17, Township 28 N, Range 21
W, Principal Meridian, Latitude 48.192869°, Longitude-114.305297°, Kalispell, Flathead
County, Montana.
The mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Regulatory Program is to
protect the Nation's aquatic resources while allowing reasonable development through fair,
flexible and balanced permit decisions. In particular, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
we work to protect the biological, physical, and chemical integrity of the Nation's aquatic
resources. Projects are evaluated on a case -by -case basis to determine the potential benefits
and detriments that may occur as a result of the proposal. In all cases an applicant must avoid
and minimize impacts to aquatic resources to the greatest extent practicable.
Under the authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), DA permits are
required for the discharge of fill material into waters of the U.S. Waters of the U.S. include the
area below the ordinary high water mark of stream channels and lakes or ponds connected to
the tributary system, and wetlands adjacent to these waters. Isolated waters and wetlands, as
well as man-made channels, may be waters of the U.S. in certain circumstances, which must be
determined on a case -by -case basis.
Based on the information provided in your submittal, it does not appear that jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. are present within the project area. If your final design includes the placement
of fill material in any jurisdictional area described above, or otherwise requires authorization by
a DA permit, please submit a Montana Joint Permit Application to this office prior to starting any
work. After a review of the materials submitted we will determine what type of permit, if any, will
be required. You can obtain a Montana Joint Permit Application Form at the following address:
http://www.dnrc.mt.gov/licenses-and-permits/stream-permitting. A list of requirements for a
complete Nationwide Permit application can be obtained at the following address:

Note that this letter is not a DA authorization to proceed. It only informs you of your
need to obtain a DA permit if waters of the U.S. will be affected. If waters of the U.S. will not be
affected by a jurisdictional activity a DA permit will not be required for the project.

Re: Request for Comments on Proposed Water System Project
Dear Mr. Haskins,
Thank you for the information on the proposed 4th Avenue East Water Replacement Project and
the request for comments regarding the potential environmental impacts.
Since the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will be reviewing environmental
documents, the preliminary engineering report, plans and specifications for the proposed
project, those reviews will serve as the Department's comments. The reviews will be performed
by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program. Please also keep in mind that other DEQ
permits associated with construction of the project may be required.
If you have any questions regarding DEQ's participation, please feel free to call or email
(406.444.5316, rashton[cDmt.gov).
Sincerely,
Robert Ashton
