This agreement provides funding to the village of LOS lunas to implement its project for the planning and design of utility transmission line expansion

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 awarded a $959,752 Cooperative Agreement to the Village of Los Lunas under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) on January 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. This award funds comprehensive engineering and design services for utility transmission line expansion infrastructure in Los Lunas, New Mexico. The deliverables include a complete engineering design package progressing through defined phases: Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), Preliminary Design (30% completion), Design Development (60%), Construction Documents (90%), and Final Design (100%).

The project encompasses structural design services, geotechnical investigation services, environmental services, and updated topographic surveying to support the extension of water, sewer, and communication utility services across the Rio Grande from New Mexico 314 and Morris Road to New Mexico 47. The Village of Los Lunas will execute these activities directly with no subawards included in the assistance agreement. This Congressionally Mandated Project funding, designated through the 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act, supports critical infrastructure planning and design work to enhance utility service delivery to the specified geographic areas.

The project will involve conducting a preliminary engineering report (per), progressing through preliminary design (30%), design development (60%), construction documents (90%), and final design (100%). Additionally, IT includes structural design services, geotechnical investigation services, environmental services, and updating the topographic survey to support the extension of water, sewer, and communication services from new mexico 314 and morris road, across the RIO grande, to new mexico 47. These engineering services are aimed at enhancing infrastructure planning as directed in the 2024 consolidated appropriations act or as identified in an approved technical correction if one has been approved for this project. Activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and implementation of engineering services focused on the planning and design of utility transmission line expansion in the village of LOS lunas. This involves conducting a preliminary engineering report (per), progressing through preliminary design (30%), design development (60%), construction documents (90%), and final design (100%). Additionally, the project includes structural design services, geotechnical investigation services, environmental services, and updating the topographic survey. These activities are aimed at facilitating the extension of water, sewer, and communication services from new mexico 314 and morris road, across the RIO grande, to new mexico 47. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include a comprehensive set of engineering design documents for the utility transmission line expansion, finalized at stages of 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion. These documents will incorporate updated topographic survey data, structural design plans, geotechnical investigation reports, and environmental impact assessments. Additional deliverables consist of a preliminary engineering report (per), construction specifications, and the necessary environmental permits to ensure thorough project planning and compliance with regulatory requirements. The expected outcomes include the successful planning and design of an expanded utility transmission line system that will enhance water, sewer, and communication services in the village of LOS lunas. The project aims to improve infrastructure reliability and capacity, support future development, and ensure environmental sustainability. By completing these design phases, the project will lay the groundwork for efficient construction and long-term service improvements. The intended beneficiaries include residents of the village of LOS lunas, new mexico, who will benefit from improved utility services and infrastructure, contributing to better quality of life and supporting community growth and development.
