WHEREAS, the Pueblo de San Ildefonso ("Pueblo') is a sovereign and self-governing Tribe, recognized as such by the United States of America, with the authority to govern its people, land and other resources; and
WHEREAS, the Pueblo in 2010, signed the Aamodt Settlement Agreement and authorized the plan, design and construction of the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System (PBRWS); and
WHEREAS, on February 22, 2017, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) awarded a four-year, $91.9 million contract, to CDM-Smith to design and build "Phase 1" of the PBRWS; and
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2017, BOR submitted to all stakeholders the 30% design for review of design-bid-build (DBB) portion for the PBRWS; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2017, the Pueblo submitted comments to the 30% design portion of the PBRWS which included questions on the design report, 30% Final Design progress drawings, specifications list and the 30% Design cost estimates, which the BOR and CDM-Smith addressed those questions accordingly on December 22, 2017; and
WHEREAS, on March 01, 2018, BOR submitted to all stakeholders the 60% Final Design-Bid Build for the PBRWS; and
WHEREAS, on April 02, 2018, the Pueblo submitted comments, via SI-GC18-092, to the 60% Final Design-Bid Build portion of the PBRWS.

WHEREAS, on April 20th, 2018, the Pueblo via, SI-GC18-107, provided additional comments after the BOR and CDM-Smith held the 60% design build workshop on April 10th, 2018. The Pueblo voiced concerns regarding the purpose, reasoning, and cost analysis for operating four (4) collector wells, "riprap" at collector wells, design of electrical building, size of "water treatment plant", brine line, and additional technical issues based on additional information provided by CDM-Smith during the 60% design workshop; and
WHEREAS, on June 4, 2018, BOR concurred and agreed to moving the electrical building, lowering access road elevations, and eliminating riprap scour protection for the design project and on June 6, 2018, the Pueblo concurred with the BOR's recommendation; and
WHEREAS, on June 18, 2018, BOR submitted to all stakeholders, the Design-Bid Build 90% Final Design for the PBRWS and on July 18, 2018, the Pueblo via SI-GC18-185, rejected the 90% Final Design as presented and based on the impacts to the Pueblo's traditional cultural "Bosque" area outweighed the future benefits of the PBRWS to the Pueblo; and
WHEREAS, on September 06, 2018, the Aamodt Settlement Parties concurred with the Pueblo's request to move the electrical building, lower the access road elevations, eliminate the riprap scour protection and not agree with the "acceptance of risk", as presented in the PBRWS 90% design; and
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2018, BOR requested the Pueblo to concur and accept the risk for moving the electrical building, lowering access road elevations, and eliminating riprap scour protection, for the PBRWS design project for the redesign and recognition to the cultural significance of the Bosque to the Pueblo; and
WHEREAS, on November 13, 2018, the Pueblo, BOR, and CDM met and visited the site to discuss moving the electrical building, lowering access road elevations, and eliminating riprap scour protection for the PBRWS design project; and

WHEREAS, the Council has reviewed the design documents as presented and finds it is in the best interest of the Pueblo to accept the 90% Design-Build for Phase 1 of the PBRWS.
