Information Memorandum

1. Planning Department
The Kalispell Planning Board met on Tuesday, September 11 and held a public hearing
on the Kalispell Urban Renewal Plan for the Downtown Area. The board did find that
the plan complies with the Kalispell Growth Policy, which is their charge under state law,
and forwarded the plan on to the Council for consideration. Planning staff will be
attending the state planning conference in Whitefish; September 12-14. They will be
making presentations on the Core Area Trail and Rail Park project as well as a session on
our Downtown Plan.
2. Building Department
In the last 2 weeks, we have issued permits for 6 single family houses and 4 townhomes.
That will bring the total of new single family/duplex and townhouse units for the year to
75, compared to 81 last year at this time. The Tennant Improvement permit for the new
MOD Pizza located @ 2244 Hwy 93 N and valued at $250,000 was issued. The permit
for the CHS Grain Bins valued at $632,000 and the permit for the CHS Dry Fertilizer
Storage building, valued at $1,751,600, were issued. Both projects are located in the new
Glacier Rail Park. Also, the new Vision Clinic permit was issued. The project is located
@ 580 N Meridian and is estimated at $1,707,168.
3. Public Works
Westside Sewer Interceptor (WSI):
As of August 31, there has been 15,003 linear feet of pipe installed (2.84 miles worth),
in addition to the installation of 35 manholes.
Figure 1: Schedule 1 Pipe Install
• Schedule 1 includes installing approximately
8,000 linear feet of 30 inch PVC sewer main,
replacing approximately 1,100 linear feet of 18
inch PVC sewer main, and replacing
approximately 2,000 linear feet of 8 inch PVC
water main. This schedule appears to be on
schedule, with 48.5% of the work completed and
45% of the contract time utilized.
• Schedule 2 includes installing approximately 6,750 linear feet of 30 inch PVC sewer
main, approximately 4,000 linear feet of 27 inch PVC sewer main, approximately 400
linear feet of 30 inch PVC C900, sewer main, and approximately 100 linear feet of 48
inch steel casing via Bore and Jack installation. This schedule appears to be on
schedule, with 43.8% of the work completed and 41 % of the contract time utilized.
• Schedule 3 includes installing
approximately 700 linear feet of 27 inch
PVC sewer main, approximately 2,900
linear feet of dual 12 inch PVC sewer force
main, and approximately 350 linear feet of
48 inch steel casing via Bore and Jack
installations. Also included in this schedule
is a new lift station and 4 lift station
Figure 2: Schedule 3 Lift Station Base Pour
abandonments. This schedule appears to be
slightly behind schedule, with 41.2% of the
work completed and 41.7% of the contract time utilized.
• Schedule 4 includes installing approximately 4,000 linear feet of 27 inch PVC sewer
main, approximately 8,200 linear feet of 24 inch PVC sewer main, and approximately
2,600 linear feet of 21 inch PVC sewer main. This schedule appears to be behind
schedule, with 38.1% of the work completed and 41.7% of the contract time utilized.
However, the contractor did not start until July, and is progressing sufficiently at this
time to complete the project on schedule.
• Schedule 5 includes installing approximately 4,550 linear feet of 10 inch PVC sewer
force main and approximately 1,500 linear feet of 10 inch HDPE sewer force main via
Horizontal Directional Drill installations. This schedule began construction on
September 4, 2018, and is anticipated to be completed by December.
A total of $5,172,579.91 worth of work has been completed on the Westside Interceptor
Project out of the total bid cost of 12,963,743.39. There has been three (3) change orders,
totaling a reduction in contract price of $126,206.60.
4. Parks Department
Park field crews are installing exercise equipment that includes the following; a chest
press, cardio walker, and push up bar. These are being installed along the Woodland
Park trail on the north end of the park.
The 4-inch water main that feeds the water fountain at Woodland Park pond recently
ruptured. The cause of the failure was a misaligned pipe in a coupler from the original
installation. The line is repaired and the fountain is back in service.
Our forestry division has been working on the trees along 3rd Avenue West beginning at
2
Legends stadium and moving north. Canopies are being lifted for clearance and cyclic
pruning is taking place.
The start of school signaled the beginning of another
year of the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Afterschool
program, Cairo's Kids. With the end of traditional cross
town bus routes for most of School District 5, Eagle
Transit now bringing students from throughout the
district to Elrod Elementary, where Cairo's Kids is held.
Participant numbers average approximately 40 students
each day. We are adding weekly themes, guest speakers, and educational activities to the
programming this year.
Both Running Rascals Football and Fall-nto Soccer
started with similar numbers to last year. This season,
128 young soccer players and 47 football enthusiasts
practiced their skills and played games at the Kalispell
Youth Athletic Complex (KYAC).
We are working to putting together another free outdoor movie for the Kalispell
community on Friday, September 28 at Woodland Park at 7:30pm. We are partnering
with Park Side Credit Union, Northwest Montana Association of Realtors, and the Brett
Kelly Group for financial support and activities. The movie is to be determined but will
be family friendly.
