Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve Task Order No. 2 Under Services Agreement No. AGR17-16b with Santa Fe Engineering Consultants, LLC, in the amount of $61,300.00 and a contingency in the amount of $20,000.00, for a total of $81,300.00, plus applicable gross receipts tax, for the purpose of the Los Alamos Canyon Road Stabilization Project.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the task order be approved as presented.
Body
Los Alamos County has been granted $120,000 through the FEMA mitigation program to perform Phase I: design and environmental assessment for the Los Alamos Canyon Road Stabilization Project. The grant agreement was executed on July 7, 2017. This project will construct gabion structures on the stream side of the road to protect the road from floodwaters. In addition, debris and downed trees that are obstructing the natural path of the canyon stream will be removed to restore the stream to its original course, away from the road in many areas.
Santa Fe Engineering Consultants, LLC will provide the design and prepare the environmental assessment through an ongoing on-call engineering services contract with Los Alamos County. Santa Fe Engineering, LLC recently provided similar services to Los Alamos County on a road stabilization project in Guaje Canyon.
Alternatives
If the task order is not approved the grant funding will likely be lost.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
As a condition of the grant Los Alamos County must match 25% of the cost. Budget revision 2017-24 was approved in May for the County's $30,000 match. Award of phase II for construction funds will be made at a later date via a second sub-grant agreement or by amendment to this agreement.
