Title
Approval to Amend the 2026 Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) to Include the Los Alamos Airport T-Hangar Project
Recommended Action
I move that Council approve amending the 2026 Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) to include the Los Alamos Airport T-Hangar Project.
County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.
Body
On June 24, 2025, Council approved submission of the 2026 Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) to the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA).
A recent DFA grant opportunity from the Capital Development Program Fund (CDPF) could fund the remaining shortfall required for completion of the Los Alamos Airport T-Hangar Project, consistent with the purpose of the fund. The project is shovel-ready and is an ideal candidate for this grant program. However, the project is not currently listed on the ICIP.
Approval to amend the ICIP to include this project will ensure grant eligibility. Approval to submit a Capital Development Fund Grant Application to the DFA in the Amount of $400,455 and Agreement No. AGR 26-809 for hangar construction are concurrently scheduled for Council approval on August 26. The associated staff reports and attachments for these items provide more information about the project scope and budget that considers this additional funding, if awarded.
The top five projects on the ICIP will remain unchanged. The Airport Hangar Project will simply be added to the remaining list of projects containing no particular ranking.
Alternatives
Council could choose not to approve the revised submission, which could limit the County's ability to receive State funding for this project.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
County projects included on the ICIP enable the County to request project funding from the State that may reduce the amount of local funds required for such projects.
