(Halvorson/Chavez/Prichard) 

Initiated by: Fire Chief Steve Chavez

The Roswell Fire Department seeks to submit an application to the New Mexico Finance Authority for the purpose to fund a Critical Hydrant Issue Management Plan and providing professional services from Waterway of New Mexico for hydrant inspections and maintenance. The document serves as a comprehensive fire hydrant evaluation, addressing a thorough examination of the hydrant's exterior to identify any signs of damage or wear, which can compromise the hydrant's integrity and functionality. Waterway of New Mexico will provide the professional service to inspect all fire hydrants and maintenance needed. 

• Initial inspection and maintenance for every fire hydrant utilized by the Roswell Fire Department.
• Subsequent years for maintenance - 20% of fire hydrants will be inspected and maintained and placed on a 5-year rotation for maintenance and inspections.

The application to NMFA has the potential to fund up to $100,000.00 towards the Critical Hydrant Issue Planning document. The remainder of the funds will come from the Roswell Fire Department's fire protection fund and Water Departments Maintenance and Transmission GL No. 53004354-654830. A budget adjustment is not required to cover the costs totaling $127,942.20.
