Approval of Increase to Contract with SWCA Inc. for Environmental Monitoring Services using a GSA Agreement

 

b

 

Extending the agreement with SWCA Inc. will allow the Water Authority to continue environmental monitoring required by the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act to operate the San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project. It includes Rio Grande Silvery Minnow egg monitoring, fish monitoring, and monitoring of habitat restoration projects and related analysis and reporting. This monitoring work is required to remain in compliance with the Water Authority’s Biological Opinion issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project.

 

The General Services Administration (GSA) Agreement with SWCA Inc. has been extended through February 11, 2024. The Water Authority wishes to extend our agreement to coincide with the term of the GSA agreement.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Water Authority anticipates allocating $150,000 per year, including NM GRT, through 2024 from the Water Resources Contractual Services budget.
