The Village of Los Lunas is seeking approval of a Relocation Reimbursement Agreement with New Mexico Gas Company (NMGCO) for major gas line and regulator station relocations required by the I‑25/Los Lunas Boulevard Corridor Project. Three defined scopes of work will move 10-inch high-pressure gas mains and a regulator station out of existing right-of-way and into new easements on both sides of I‑25 to accommodate new ramps and roadway configuration. The Village estimates it will be responsible for up to $4,122,980 in relocation costs, with detailed engineer’s estimates showing nearly $700k for the Morris Road regulator relocation, $1.98M for the north segment, and $1.44M for the south segment. The agreement allows interim billings over $100,000 and requires Buy America compliance and tight cost-accounting under federal-aid rules. While NMGCO will perform the relocation, this is a large, multi-year utility coordination and construction support package within a broader interchange project, creating downstream opportunities for design support, inspection, construction management, materials testing, and project controls. Vendors that support gas utility relocations, transportation capital projects, or owner’s rep services can engage Public Works now on how to manage risk, schedule, documentation, and reimbursement on this $4M+ utility component. There may also be ancillary needs for GIS updates, as-built surveying, traffic control, and restoration work around the relocation corridors as construction sequencing is finalized.
