  The neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment that is currently being
developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) will use ultracold neutrons
(UCN) and Ramsey's method of separated oscillatory fields to search for a nEDM.
In this paper, we present measurements of UCN storage and UCN transport
performed during the commissioning of a new beamline at the LANL UCN source and
demonstrate a sufficient number of stored polarized UCN to achieve a
statistical uncertainty of $\delta d_n = 2\times 10^{-27}$~$e\cdot\text{cm}$ in
5 calendar years of running. We also present an analytical model describing
data that provides a simple parameterization of the input UCN energy spectrum
on the new beamline.
