Agenda Item Text:
Approve grant award from The Nature Conservancy of $70,375 to Cochise County Flood Control District for streamflow monitoring for Palominas Recharge Project and two potential future recharge sites and for match for the next approved recharge project analysis and conceptual design.
Background:
The Nature Conservancy has funding available for streamflow monitoring, which has been recognized as needed both for effectively planning new recharge projects and for determining better flow and available recharge amounts for the existing Palominas recharge project. They wish to grant these funds to Cochise County FCD to manage a contract for this purpose. Also granted are funds for analysis and conceptual design of the next approved recharge project.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
FCD staff will finalize scope of work and contract for services for streamflow monitoring: purchase, installation, data collection/analysis and a final report for one year of monitoring at selected locations. FCD staff will also finalize scope of work and contract for services for analysis and conceptual design of next approved recharge project.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
↵Over $70,000 in grant funds will not be available for needed streamflow monitoring for existing and future recharge projects and future recharge projects or for analysis and design of the next approved recharge project.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Nothing needed except Board approval of this item. A contract for professional services will come before the Board for approval for actual use of the funds.
