Body
The New Mexico Department of Transportation solicited applications from local municipalities for street improvement funding assistance through the state of New Mexico Municipal Arterial Program (MAP). Funds awarded through MAP are distributed statewide, are limited, and must be expended within the FY27 construction season.
For Fiscal Year 2027, the NMDOT awarded Los Alamos County a combined amount of $285,668, comprised of $214,251 (75% State Share) and $71,417 (25% County match).
These funds will be utilized to offset the Diamond Drive Pavement Preservation Project, a scheduled street maintenance effort through the Public Works Traffic and Streets Pavement Preservation budget. The project consists of applying microsurfacing, a fast-curing, polymer-modified asphalt surface treatment to extend the pavement life of Diamond Drive between the Omega Bridge and the San Ildefonso Road roundabout.
NMDOT requires that a resolution of support be submitted before the grant agreement is prepared and submitted. The Attorney's Office has reviewed the attached resolution (Attachment A) and has been published as required by County Code (Attachment C).
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
Funds for the County’s share is programmed in the Public Works Traffic and Streets Pavement Preservation budget.
The Public Works Department will oversee the contract work and administer the grant in cooperation with the County's Finance Division.
