Board, Commission or Committee Recommendation
The BPU discussed this topic at their regular meeting of February 16th and unanimously recommends that the County Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
The Department of Energy (DOE) has requested DPU relocate an existing County owned 16” water transmission line to facilitate construction of planned facilities. The waterline is located along Pajarito Road in Tech Area 50. Approximately 2,000 feet of existing 16" waterline will be relocated into the Pajarito Road corridor and the existing waterline will be abandoned in place. The design and construction costs to relocate the waterline will be paid for by the DOE, per the provisions in the current water sales agreement between the County and DOE. Consistent with the agreement, these costs for design and construction oversight have been reviewed and accepted by the DOE. The work will be designed in the spring of 2022 and constructed over the fall and winter of 2022. CDM Smith will provide full-time construction inspection on the project to facilitate permitting, traffic control, access coordination and LANL utility coordination since the work will take place in a busy mission critical area of LANL. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2022 and take 6 months to complete.
Alternatives
If the Task Order is not approved, the project will be delayed past DOE's requested time frame. DPU will coordinate the delayed schedule with DOE and evaluate options to complete the work.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
This project was not planned or budgeted. The cost for these engineering services and construction of the project will be paid by the DOE. We are seeking approval of Budget Revision 2022-46 to establish spending authority for the Task Order and this task order will be completely reimbursed by DOE.
