Council approves $379,603 Hillandale Avenue rehab; city match $94,009
Summary
Rio Communities accepted a New Mexico Department of Transportation award for Hillandale Avenue (project L300396) — a $379,603 resurfacing project with a 75% state / 25% city split; the city’s 25% match is $94,009.01 and staff confirmed funds are available.
The Rio Communities City Council approved a cooperative agreement for a Hillandale Avenue rehabilitation project awarded by the New Mexico Department of Transportation.
Staff described the project (project control number L300396) as a resurfacing and rehabilitation contract covering roughly 1,300 linear feet that ties into a planned adjoining project. The total project cost presented to the council was $379,603 with a 75% state / 25% city funding split. The city’s share was given as $94,009.01 and staff confirmed the funds are available.
Council members asked whether design work was complete; staff said part of the grant includes design for the section and that the scope is primarily resurfacing (no major concrete work or curbs). Council also discussed the option of including speed cushions and whether design should incorporate them.
Why it matters: the award moves a locally prioritized road repair into construction planning and ties to other planned projects that will connect through Hillandale and Horner streets.
