Crushed material quantity will be paid for by determining a rodded unit weight (ASTM C29) for product and accompanying owner survey to determine pile volume. All material up to 4 feet shall be crushed; any material over 4 feet will be considered oversize. Material and pit area may be viewed by making an appointment with the Road Department. Bidders are highly encouraged to view stockpile prior to bidding. Estimated pile volume is NOT guaranteed and Flathead County makes no assurances of total volume of material to be crushed. Flathead County believes the stockpile is relatively clean of unwanted materials but assumes no responsibility for bidder's equipment during the project. The location of material to crush shall be as directed by the Road Department. The location of the stockpile will be designated by the Road Department at the time of crushing. Contact the Department if there are any questions or to set up a time to view the crushing site. Bid proposals must be submitted on a form to be provided for the purpose, addressed to the Board of County Commissioners, 800 South Main, Room 302, Kalispell, MT 59901, and enclosed in a sealed envelope marked, "Proposal for Crushing and Stockpiling Broken Asphalt." No proposal will be considered unless accompanied by a proposal security in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the bid to secure the bidder's express covenant that if the bidder is awarded the contract, the bidder will, within ten (10) days, enter into a formal contract for the purchase and sale of said materials. Bid security shall be payable to Flathead County and shall be in the form of lawful money of the United States; a cashier's check, certified check, bank money order or bank draft issued by a Montana bank, or a bid bond executed by a surety corporation authorized to do business in Montana. A performance bond will be required for the faithful performance of the successful contractor in the full amount of the bid. Specifications, forms of contract, proposal blanks and full instructions are on file and may be obtained from the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners, 800 South Main, Room 302, Kalispell, MT 59901. Time is of the essence. Liquidated damages in the amount of $100.00 per day shall be due in the event that the contractor fails to complete the contract within sixty (60) days. This allows thirty (30) days for the contractor to file a public notice of moving and the State change of location notice. Extenuating circumstances will be considered by the County Commissioners for extension of the contract date. The successful bidder must contract to pay prevailing wage rates (Highway Construction Services) set by the Montana Department of Labor. The Contractor and all subcontractors will be required to have a certificate of registration from the Employment Relations Division of the Montana Department of Labor and Industry in the proper classification. The successful bidder must contract to give preference to the employment of bona fide residents of Montana in the performance of the work. A resident bidder will be allowed a preference against the bid of any nonresident bidder from any state or county that enforces a preference for resident bidders equal to the preference given in the other state or county. The successful bidder will also be required to provide proof of Workers' Compensation insurance and/or an independent contractor certification from the State, as well as satisfy the County's minimum insurance requirements. All sealed bids, plainly marked as such, must be delivered to the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners, 800 South Main, Room 302, Kalispell, MT 59901, on or before 12:00 PM on January 13, 2017.

No. 24138 NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WITH PPL MONTANA, LLC AND THE MATTSON PLAINTIFF CLASS OF PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE SHORELINE OF FLATHEAD LAKE AND THE BANK OF FLATHEAD RIVER A group of landowners on Flathead Lake and a portion of the Flathead River located in Flathead County filed a class action lawsuit in the Montana Eleventh Judicial District Court, Kalispell, Montana on November 9, 1999 against Montana Power Company ("MPC") and PPL Montana, LLC ("PPLM"). The landowners claimed the power companies' operation of the Kerr Dam caused damages to the landowners' property. The lawsuit is captioned Mattson, et al. v. Montana Power Co., et al., No. DV-99-548A. The Court certified the class which includes the following group of landowners: All persons and entities (other than the United States, the defendants, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation, Montana) that have since November 9, 1991 to December 1, 2006, owned real property either: i) with frontage on the shoreline of Flathead Lake in Flathead County or Lake County, Montana, or ii) which contains a bank of the Flathead River located in Flathead County, Montana, south of the point at which Lower Valley Road (east of U.S. Highway 93) intersects with the Flathead River, or both. This notice is to advise the class that a hearing will be held on March 9, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. at the Montana Eleventh Judicial District Court for Flathead County, 920 South Main, Kalispell, Montana, 59901. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the Court should grant approval of the Amended Stipulation of Settlement and General Release between PPLM and the class as fair, reasonable and adequate, whether the application for award of attorney's fees and reimbursement for expenses should be approved, and whether the case should be dismissed with prejudice. A class settlement with MPC and its insurer National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA was previously approved by the Court on August 19, 2015. A Supplemental Notice of Class Action Settlement with PPLM describes a proposed plan of distribution and the rights of class members to file a Proof of Claim and Release ("Claim Form") to receive proceeds from the Settlement Fund from this settlement with PPLM and the earlier settlement with MPC. Claim Forms must be postmarked by May 8, 2017. If you have not received the Supplemental Notice in the mail, which describes in detail this settlement and your rights thereunder, you may request a copy by writing to the Law Offices of Michael M. Mulder at 1603 Orrington Avenue, Suite 600, Evanston, Illinois 60201, or sending an email to mmmulder@mmulderlaw.com. All members of the class will be bound by the Court's judgment. Please do not contact the Court, because its personnel cannot discuss the case with you. December 22, 28, and January 5, 2016 MNAXLP
