Rio Grande Bosque Wildfire Mitigation Project

body

 

This proposed contract between the City of Albuquerque and Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District (CIUDAD) is to implement the Hazardous Fuels Mitigation Project that is funded by a sub-grant with DHSEM through FEMA funds. This is Phase 2 of the grant project that will enable the City to treat 470-acres in the Rio Grande Bosque managed by the City’s Open Space Division. Phase I of the grant project has been processed through FEMA and approved. The Phase II application is under review. City Council has already approved the required matching funds for this grant through R-19-172.

 

This contract with CIUDAD will assist the City in implementing the project within the allotted timeframe by utilizing a variety of crews and contactors, including youth crews. The framework for this partnership is already established under a current IGA with CIUDAD that enables the City, State and CIUDAD to conduct fuel thinning project in Major Public Open Space properties located in the East Mountains. CIUDAD is well positioned to provide subject expertise and logistical support and coordination.
