NMID_Approval_Letter_070162026.pdf

This is an approval letter from the North & Middle Idaho (NMID) irrigation district related to the Eckert Road Bridges 2147 and 2148 project in Boise, Idaho. The letter authorizes and establishes the conditions under which the City of Boise may proceed with construction work on bridges spanning the Boise River and Ridenbaugh Canal, as well as associated roadway and infrastructure improvements at the Eckert Road and Boise Avenue intersection. The approval is contingent upon all irrigation-related work and bridge construction being completed in strict accordance with the specifications outlined in the NMID Approval Letter dated July 16, 2026, unless the irrigation district provides alternative written approval. This requirement ensures that the project protects irrigation infrastructure and water delivery operations while accommodating the planned roundabout, multi-use pathway, Greenbelt underpass, and related roadway improvements.

The approval letter serves as a critical regulatory requirement for project execution, confirming that the irrigation district has reviewed and authorized the proposed construction methodology and design specifications related to irrigation and bridge work. Contractors and the City of Boise must reference this approval letter throughout the construction phase to ensure compliance with irrigation district standards. Any deviations from the approved specifications require formal written consent from the NMID before implementation, establishing a collaborative oversight mechanism between the city and the irrigation district for this multi-phase infrastructure project.
