Re: East 6th Street Improvements Project – Recommendation of Award
Dear Kurt:
Bids for the East 6th Street Improvements project were received April 25, 2019. Two bids were opened
and read aloud, totaling $1,218,900.00 and $1,487,017.19, respectively. The bids were checked for
mathematical accuracy no discrepancies were found.
The low bidder is FirstMark Construction. The total bid amount is $1,218,900.00 for Base Bid Schedules
1-3 combined. We recommend the contract be awarded to FirstMark Construction, accordingly, for all
bid schedules. Enclosed is the Notice of Award (NOA) for the City’s approval and a Certified Bid
Tabulation. Please sign, date and return four (4) original NOA forms; upon receipt, we will work with
FirstMark Construction to route final Contracts for the City’s approval.
Please be aware of Special Provision 1.10.B.2 as modified by Addendum 1. To deal with the unstable
subgrade without unnecessarily inflating construction cost, we designed the stabilized road section to a
minimum base thickness and added this provision. This provision allows us to re-assess the base
thickness during construction and make adjustments as needed. We are not anticipating an increase to
the thickness. However, the City should budget for an additional $134,000 to account for this possibility
in case it is needed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (406) 245-5499.
Sincerely,
KLJ
Carl Jackson, PE
Project Manager

RESOLUTION NO. R19-14
RESOLUTION RELATING TO SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT NO. 119; DECLARING IT TO BE THE INTENTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO CREATE THE DISTRICT FOR
THE PURPOSE OF UNDERTAKING CERTAIN LOCAL
IMPROVEMENTS AND FINANCING THE COSTS THEREOF
AND INCIDENTAL THERETO THROUGH THE ISSUANCE
OF SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BONDS SECURED
BY THE CITY’S SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
REVOLVING FUND; AND ESTABLISHING COMPLIANCE
WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND REGULATIONS UNDER
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Laurel (the “City”), Montana, as
follows:
Section 1. Proposed Improvements; Intention To Create District. The City proposes to
undertake certain local sidewalk improvements, including construction and installation of
sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, drive and alley approaches and related improvements
(collectively, the “Improvements”) to benefit certain property located on East 6th Street in the
City and included within the proposed District (as hereinafter defined). The City proposes to
undertake the Improvements and create the District in conjunction with certain street
improvements being constructed in the same area within the City, which street improvements are
expected to cost approximately $1,500,000. The total estimated costs of the Improvements and
all associated costs are $102,500 a portion of which is to be paid from funds contributed by the
City and a portion of which is to be paid from the special improvement district bonds hereinafter
described. It is the intention of this Council to create and establish in the City under Montana
Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 12, Parts 41 and 42, as amended, a special improvement
district (the “District”) for the purpose of financing a portion of the costs of the Improvements
and paying costs incidental thereto, including costs associated with the security of special
improvement district bonds drawn on the District (the “Bonds”), the creation and administration
of the District and the funding of a deposit to the City’s Special Improvement District Revolving
Fund (the “Revolving Fund”). The Bonds are to be issued in the maximum principal amount of
$69,000 and will be payable primarily from special assessments to be levied against property in
the District, which property will be specially benefited by the Improvements in an amount not
less than $69,000.
Section 2. Number of District. The District, if the same shall be created and established,
shall be known and designated as Special Improvement District No. 119 of the City of Laurel,
Montana.
Section 3. Boundaries of District. The limits and boundaries of the District are depicted
on the maps attached as Exhibit A-1 hereto (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part
hereof), which boundaries are designated and confirmed as the boundaries of the District. A
listing of each of the properties in the District that are subject to assessment is shown on Exhibit
B hereto (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof).

Section 4. Benefited Property. The District and territory included within the limits and
boundaries described in Section 3 and as shown on Exhibit A-1 and described on Exhibit B are
hereby declared to be the special improvement district and the territory which will benefit and be
benefited by the Improvements. The Improvements to be constructed with respect to each
property in the District are depicted on Exhibit A-2. The properties to be assessed for the costs
of the Improvements are listed on Exhibit B. Such properties included within said limits and
boundaries are hereby declared to be the property benefited by the Improvements.
Section 5. General Character of the Improvements. The general character of the
Improvements consists of design, engineering and construction of sidewalk improvements,
including construction and installation of sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, drive and alley
approaches and related improvements.
Section 6. Engineer and Estimated Cost. KLJ Engineering, of Billings, Montana, shall
be the engineer for the Improvements (the “Engineer”). The Engineer has estimated that the cost
of the Improvements, including all incidental costs, is $102,500. Such estimates are subject to
revision or to amendment. The City will contribute funds in the approximate amount of $33,500,
which will be used to pay for the portions of the Improvements consisting of alley approaches
and ADA-compliant ramps and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Engineer has
estimated that the remaining costs of the Improvements and incidental costs are approximately
$69,000, as set forth in Exhibit C, all of which are to be paid from proceeds of the Bonds.
Section 7. Assessment Methods.
7.1. Method of Assessment; Property To Be Assessed. Each lot, tract, or parcel of land
in the District to receive new sidewalks and/or drive approaches as part of the Improvements will
be assessed for their proportionate share of the costs of the Improvements and associated
incidental costs thereof based on the frontage method of assessment provided in Section 7-12-
4163, M.C.A. Each property shall be assessed for the square footage costs of concrete sidewalks
and concrete drive approaches being installed with respect to such property, and its proportionate
share of associated incidental costs thereof. The estimated amount of square footage of concrete
sidewalks and concrete drive approaches to be installed for each lot, tract, or parcel and the
maximum principal amount of the assessment for each lot, tract or parcel of land for the
Improvements is shown for each lot, tract or parcel on Exhibit B hereto. The principal amount of
the special assessment shall be payable over time and bear interest at a prescribed rate of interest.
7.2. Assessment Methodology Equitable and Consistent with Benefit. This Council
hereby determines that the method of assessment and the assessment of costs of the specific
Improvements against the properties benefited thereby as prescribed in Section 7.1 are equitable
and in proportion to and not exceeding the special benefits derived from the respective
Improvements by the lots, tracts and parcels to be assessed therefor within the District.
Section 8. Payment of Assessments. The special assessments for the costs of the
Improvements shall be payable over a term not exceeding 20 years, each in equal semiannual
installments of principal, plus interest, or equal semiannual payments of principal and interest, as
- Page 40 -
3
this Council shall prescribe in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. Property
owners have the right to prepay assessments as provided by law.
Section 9. Method of Financing; Pledge of Revolving Fund; Findings and
Determinations. The City will issue the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$69,000 to finance the costs of the Improvements and incidental costs. Principal of and interest
on the Bonds will be paid from special assessments levied against the benefited properties in the
District. This Council further finds it is in the public interest, and in the best interest of the City
and the District, to secure payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds by the Revolving
Fund and hereby authorizes the City to enter into the undertakings and agreements authorized in
Section 7-12-4225, M.C.A., in respect of the Bonds.
In determining to authorize such undertakings and agreements, this Council has taken
into consideration the following factors:
(a) Estimated Market Value of Parcels. Of the 14 lots, tracts or parcels in the District to
be assessed for the Improvements, all are developed. The estimated market value of the lots,
tracts or parcels in the District as of the date of adoption of this resolution, as estimated by the
County Assessor for property tax purposes, is set forth in Exhibit B hereto. The special
assessments to be levied under Section 7 against each lot, tract or parcel in the District is
expected to be less than the increase in estimated market value of the lot, tract or parcel as a
result of the construction of the Improvements.
(b) Diversity of Property Ownership. There are a total of 14 lots, tracts or parcels in the
proposed District, owned by a total of 14 individual property owners.
(c) Comparison of Special Assessments and Property Taxes and Market Value. The
assessed value of each applicable lot, tract or parcel in the District is greater than the amount of
the assessment to be levied against it.
(d) Delinquencies. There are no outstanding special assessments levied against property
in the District. The historical rate of tax delinquencies in the District is not greater than the City
as a whole. None of the 14 lots, tracts or parcels in the District to be assessed for the
Improvements have tax delinquencies as of April 2019.
(e) The Public Benefit of the Improvements. The Improvements will result in safer and
more usable streets and sidewalks and are of special benefit to the public and to the properties in
the District.
Section 10. Public Hearing; Protests. At any time within eighteen (18) days from and
after the date of the first publication of the notice of the passage and approval of this resolution,
any owner of real property within the District subject to assessment and only those subject to
assessment for the cost and expense of making the Improvements may make and file with the
City Clerk-Treasurer’s office until 5:00 p.m., M.T., on the expiration date of the 18-day period
(June 3, 2019), written protest against the proposed Improvements, or against the creation of the
District or both. Such protest must be in writing, identify the property in the District owned by
- Page 41 -
4
the protestor and be signed by all owners of the property. The protest must be delivered to the
City Clerk-Treasurer’s office, who shall endorse thereon the date of its receipt by the City Clerk-
Treasurer or the Deputy Clerk. This Council will at its next regular meeting after the expiration
of the eighteen (18) days in which such protests in writing can be made and filed, proceed to hear
all such protests so made and filed; which regular meeting will be held on June 4, 2019, at 6:30
p.m., in the Council Chambers, at 115 West First Street, in Laurel, Montana.
Section 11. Notice of Passage of Resolution of Intention. The City Clerk-Treasurer or
the Deputy Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to publish or cause to be published a copy of
a notice of the passage of this resolution in the Laurel Outlook, a newspaper of general
circulation in the City on May 16 and May 23, 2019, in the form and manner prescribed by law,
and to mail or cause to be mailed a copy of said notice to every person, firm, corporation, or the
agent of such person, firm, or corporation having real property within the District listed in his or
her name upon the last completed assessment roll for state, City, and school district taxes, at his
last-known address, on or before the same day such notice is first published.
Section 12. Reimbursement Expenditures.
12.1. Regulations. The United States Department of Treasury has promulgated final
regulations governing the use of proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to
be used to reimburse the City for project expenditures paid by the City prior to the date of
issuance of such bonds. Those regulations (Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2) (the
“Regulations”) require that the City adopt a statement of official intent to reimburse an original
expenditure not later than 60 days after payment of the original expenditure. The Regulations
also generally require that the bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation made from the
proceeds of the bonds within 18 months (or three years, if the reimbursement bond issue
qualifies for the “small issuer” exception from the arbitrage rebate requirement) after the later of
(i) the date the expenditure is paid or (ii) the date the project is placed in service or abandoned,
but (unless the issue qualifies for the “small issuer” exception from the arbitrage rebate
requirement) in no event more than three years after the date the expenditure is paid. The
Regulations generally permit reimbursement of capital expenditures and costs of issuance of the
bonds.
12.2 Prior Expenditures. Other than (i) expenditures to be paid or reimbursed from
sources other than the Bonds, (ii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures within the
meaning of Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, or (iii) expenditures in a “de minimus”
amount (as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations), no expenditures for the
Improvements have been paid by the City before the date 60 days before the date of adoption of
this resolution.
12.3. Declaration of Intent. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures
made for costs of the Improvements out of the proceeds of Bonds in an estimated maximum
aggregate principal amount of $69,000 after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs of
the Improvements. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost of issuance
of the Bonds or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the
Regulations.
- Page 42 -

12.4. Budgetary Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved,
allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be reserved,
allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the
expenditures related to the Improvements, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. The
statement of intent contained in this resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the
City’s budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable on the
date hereof.
12.5. Reimbursement Allocations. The City Clerk-Treasurer shall be responsible for
making the “reimbursement allocations” described in the Regulations, being generally the
transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary
financing used by the City to make prior payment of the costs of the Improvements. Each
allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained
for the Bonds or the Improvements and shall specifically identify the actual original expenditure
being reimbursed.
