Summary/Background:

 

This project is being treated separately from the street resurfacing project as it may extend into the spring. This is primarily due to the requirements of Legislative Agreement C5182670 which requires that NMDOT review the contract after it has been signed by the contractor, but before it has been executed by the Town. In addition, the Co-op Grant agreement requires that the Town complete certifications for Right-of Way, Environmental, Railroads, Intelligent Transportation Systems and Utilities. The Public Works Department is in the process of obtaining these certifications.
