EMERGENCY DETERMINATION FORM

The emergency procurement method (NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-127) may only be used when the service, construction or item of tangible personal property procured:

1. is needed immediately to:

a. control a serious threat to public health, welfare, safety or property caused by a flood, fire, epidemic, riot, act of terrorism, equipment failure or similar event; or

The purchase or lease of heavy road equipment is not allowed under the emergency procurement statute.

The state purchasing agent or a central purchasing office that makes an emergency procurement shall outline its determination of the basis for the procurement and its selection of the contractor in writing and include the writing in the procurement file. (That writing can be made on this form.) Promptly thereafter:

2. Training:

o Contactor shall provide and document the following training:

Accredited forty (40) hours of Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training to Contractor’s field staff (specifically staff that does or may enter disaster debris "hot zones"), including Task Force Leaders and all other personnel supporting structural debris removal operations in the field.

ICS-100 and ICS-200 training courses for all Contractor staff.

5. Quality Assurance:

o Implement quality control measures to ensure data accuracy and completeness.

o Conduct periodic reviews and audits of monitoring activities to maintain high standards of service.

6. Additional Recommended Items:

o Documenting Eligible Work and Costs: “With proper documentation, an Applicant may fully account for debris clearance and removal costs incurred as a result of a Presidentially declared disaster. A load ticket provides the most comprehensive information and a paper trail for FEMA PA program reimbursement. To support the documentation provided by the load tickets, monitors should use tower-monitoring logs, roving monitor reports, daily issue logs, and truck certification forms as part of their reporting process. Samples of these forms are included in Appendix B: Sample Debris Monitoring Plan and Monitoring Forms. When ADMS technology is used, the data generated should clearly display loading monitor and tower/site monitor names, load times, and locations so that an individual’s daily activities can be easily reviewed.” See Public Assistance Debris Monitoring Guide, Chapter 6: Documenting Eligible Work and Costs.

Ensure compliance with and guidance from Public Assistance Debris Monitoring Guide, Chapter 6: Documenting Eligible Work and Costs.

o Environmental Compliance: Ensuring all debris removal and disposal activities comply with local, state, and federal environmental regulations.

o Community Communication: Establishing a communication plan so as to keep the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management informed about the debris removal process, timelines, and any necessary actions on their part.

o Health and Safety Measures: Implementation of strict health and safety protocols to protect workers and residents during debris removal operations.

o Coordination with Local Authorities: Close collaboration with local government agencies, emergency services, and environmental authorities to ensure a coordinated response and resource sharing.

o Sub-Contractors: Sub-contractors must be pre-approved by DHSEM staff before selection. The initial consideration area extends 100 miles from Chavez County, if no qualified contractors are available, the area may be expanded statewide, in consultation with DHSEM.

o Timely Mobilization. The selected vendor must commence mobilizing services within 48 hours of notification of their selection for emergency procurement, ensuring that the deployment of necessary services to impacted areas begins promptly.

IV. Provide an explanation for the justification of the procurement including a description of the emergency condition(s) requiring use of emergency procurement and the practicable competition utilized in compliance with NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-127.

In October 2024, severe rainfall resulted in significant flooding that has been declared a State Disaster, with a federal declaration requested. This extreme flooding has caused extensive damage to numerous homes, businesses, and properties, while also depositing debris on public rights-of-way.

In an effort to manage the aftermath, residents and businesses have been clearing debris from their properties and placing it on the roadways. However, this practice poses potential hazards to travelers, as the debris may contain harmful materials.

DHSEM will deploy emergency services to be mobilized to remove the debris from the right-of-way within the affected areas of Chavez County to enhance public safety and assist our community in recovering from this disaster.

V. Describe what measures are being taken to minimize the duration and effect of this particular emergency procurement (for example: is the emergency only in place until a competitive process can be completed, etc.).

We anticipate that the requested debris monitoring services will be needed for a short duration. The Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) is currently in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to secure debris monitoring services; however, this process is not expected to be finalized until December 2024.

We recognize the state's urgent need for these services due to fire and flood-related incidents and are actively working to secure contractors to address these requirements.

VI. Describe what measures the Agency will take in the future to prevent/mitigate use of an emergency procurement under similar circumstances.

The Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) is currently engaged in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to establish long-term debris monitoring services for future disasters. This recent flooding event was unexpected, highlighting the need for a more proactive approach to ensure we can respond effectively without resorting to emergency procurement in the future.

We are committed to addressing these needs and improving our preparedness for any potential disasters.
