SUBJECT: Recommendation for Engineering Consultant — Water and Wastewater Collection
Facility Plan Updates and Water System Infrastructure Improvement Projects
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2017
BACKGROUND: The 2008 Kalispell Water and Wastewater Collection Facility Plans provide
a goal for infrastructure improvements of the existing utility systems and new improvements to
meet future development. Since the time of adoption, many of the improvements have been
completed and the City's utility infrastructure has expanded primarily in the north, west, and
south areas of Kalispell. As new development demands are forecasted and existing aging
infrastructure falters, facility plan updates are required to once again ensure the planning,
projects, and management of the utility systems meet sustainability goals to service the
community of Kalispell.
Additionally, the City requires professional services for the planning, design, and construction of
future water improvements including the completion of a new water source in Section 36 located

transmission mains in the City's upper pressure zone.
