Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board recommends IFB25-31 and Budget Revision 2025-53 as presented and forwarad to Council for approval.
Body
The Bayo Booster Station, located adjacent to the composting facility, pumps treated effluent from the Los Alamos Wastewater Treatment Plant up to a tank near the Los Alamos Middle School. The booster station has been in service for 31 years. The electric gear, valves, and miscellaneous mechanical features will be replaced as part of this project. The electric gear is aged and is at the end of its service life. The Bayo Booster Station is the single means to pump effluent into Los Alamos and this rehabilitation effort will prepare the facility for many years of reliable operation.
Alternatives
If the Board does not award the project, staff will continue to pursue the project to rehabilitate the Bayo Non-Potable Booster Building and equipment to maintain reliable irrigation water to the North Mesa ball fields and golf course.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
The project has been budgeted through Water Production in FY 2025 in the amount of $1,000,000.00. The project is funded by a Clean Water State Revolving Loan/Subsity CWSRL 135 in which $200,000 is a grant and $800,000 is a low interest loan. Bids came in higher than the available budget and DPU is also seeking approval of Budget Revision 2025-53 to increase the budget by an additional $700,000. The additional $700,000 will come from increasing CWSRL135 by $700,000 for a total loan/subsidy amount of $1,700,000. The additional $700,000 will be a loan.
