Representatives for Farmington Electric Utility System presented the recommendation to council. Mr. Ritter (presenter) and Mr. Adair described the city utility’s recommendation and said approval is contingent on completing negotiations and securing amended agreements with the New Mexico Economic Development Department.

Councilor Giacchino moved to approve the execution of the asset purchase-and-sale agreement and the EPC agreement between the city and Luth Cowan Renewables LLC; the motion was seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote.

City staff recorded the contingency twice in public remarks: the agreements are subject to final negotiation and to the state economic development department executing amended agreements. No specific dollar figures, construction schedules, or dates for the contingencies were provided on the public record during the meeting.

The action authorizes staff to proceed with contractual steps necessary to implement the Riverview project pending those negotiations and state approvals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Farmington City Council - 3/25/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved execution of an asset purchase-and-sale agreement and an EPC agreement with Luth Cowan Renewables LLC for the Riverview Solar and Battery Storage Project, contingent on final negotiations and amended state agreements.","taxTitle","Farmington City, San Juan County, New Mexico","taxId",54131,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098090,"Farmington Council awards Story of Farmington exhibition contract to Reich and Petch",61,590000,651000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824966-7a033def85a3e71792acdcf490724fcd&start=590&end=651","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824966-7a033def85a3e71792acdcf490724fcd/thumbnail_590000.jpg","/articles/6098090/Farmington-City/San-Juan-County/New-Mexico/Farmington-Council-awards-Story-of-Farmington-exhibition-contract-to-Reich-and-Petch","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098090-1a27b7be295c559ed6052c94280dfe8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178317&Signature=Q3PzOy~IkQoiefV0EBaNV8OsT-LSbZbWedrBz13qRGvBaKBVaxPUjfZLiKim3CpV~0r9wXpEQ8WtLfs~R673yvK7qTzPZ3KCfxV1pCT0E6uXHn3M8oZ2mEvKZxzEpHZQgisqlRI61hNoZO-iHlP4W6zIkMQdq9Pmd0ihDytfCM8c1ZYMCs-Sr3btB-Hty-ercXfI8GZtwuDB9-ZgAjoR~VnXExx-3Fzi9bs~hpx4fOxrh5fNbdeLZBVQgjgBDFDMd9i3XNBSvYNc3gSFxgNFeOZgETK4mMMJYIEoT9oAvJz3Ns8ATpQA7qZiCBofvAEf25ag51irbVo-DeK7WtN-Ag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Farmington City Council voted unanimously to award the contract for professional services to develop the Story of Farmington exhibition to Reich and Petch.

The council’s action followed a staff recommendation that negotiations with the top-evaluated firm conclude the procurement. According to staff, four firms were invited to present after an initial evaluation, and negotiations were conducted with Reich and Petch as the top-ranked firm. Central purchasing concurred with the evaluation committee’s recommendation, and the award was based on the firm’s pricing schedule and assigned preference points.

Krista, Tanya and Miss Roland presented the procurement outcome to the council and stood for questions before the motion. Councilor Giacchino moved to award the qualification-based proposal to Reich and Petch; a second was recorded and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

The award is intended to secure professional services to develop the Story of Farmington exhibition. Staff said the final rankings after the presentation round are listed in the meeting agenda; no additional financial terms or contract amounts were stated on the public record during the meeting.

The contract award came after the council recessed into a closed meeting to discuss the solicitation and evaluate proposals, then returned to open session to take formal action.","The Farmington City Council unanimously awarded a qualification-based contract to Reich and Petch to design the Story of Farmington exhibition after a presentation and evaluation process that shortlisted four firms.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098080,"Farmington Council approves consent agenda, zone changes, property purchase and commission appointment",112,143000,255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824966-7a033def85a3e71792acdcf490724fcd&start=143&end=255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824966-7a033def85a3e71792acdcf490724fcd/thumbnail_143000.jpg","/articles/6098080/Farmington-City/San-Juan-County/New-Mexico/Farmington-Council-approves-consent-agenda-zone-changes-property-purchase-and-commission-appointment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098080-cf70d0c8d30789756f6472125477be53/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178317&Signature=ZU1IJCvatc7YuFfOVDbveRa0gOZmT0fynC2KtPI794hNCxwMgSBw0HWZBl1nudp2s9~RwkEaBQsmgHLKB5vFW8cjKl67T4vNkJPOWXRWoUKMfMk7daUuKcYh9Dph5bk-yQn8P9o8FiAH3aTMNi96AV5KdG10rBE5eR8rFEArL6gQzCUKoujCNKDAQcjuwgXyqzvj4fLvm4E6TCGcttCE9ybfr1b80Fea0hjebIn263jr9LE1fukv7riMBrRBbSU8Kii3vkybrClNrWQHiEdXtPguO6DggYWfGWixpUf22kEyL84K5ftGkvX6Oi8RBfRx5Mv-I71uwfBRk~gFbYYMaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Farmington City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda and related items, including minutes, appointments, a property purchase, planning and zoning recommendations, and two resolutions.
