Announcement - April 10, 2024

A significant issue (a bust in the design) related to the proximity of the propane tank pad to the emergency generator was identified last week when Griffins Propane came to the site to assess the 1,000 gallon propane tank relocation.  According to the fire codes, the tank and generator need to be at least 10 feet apart.  The installed pad is within 3 feet of the generator pad and a new pad has to be constructed and the exterior chain link fence footprint has to be increased to accommodate the change.  The cost for this effort is in File Construction's court, and we are waiting for the impact of this change on the project's schedule.  The only good news last week was the approval of the construction application by PNM.  We are waiting for their construction schedule.  Alderman Electric, File Construction's subcontractor has installed the secondary pole, meter base, and main disconnects.  We are waiting on the delivery of the generator, control cabinet (VFD) and shelter.  We do have the pumps.
