This Amendment Number One to RFP 60-55000-26-01218 modifies the evaluation criteria for a water well maintenance and repair services contract issued by the State Purchasing Division of the General Services Department and the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission. The RFP seeks proposals for comprehensive water well maintenance, repair, inspection, and related wellfield technical services for non-potable water operations in the Fort Sumner, Lake Arthur, and Seven Rivers regions of New Mexico. The original RFP was released July 2, 2026, with a pre-proposal conference held July 13, 2026 via Microsoft Teams. The proposal submission deadline has been extended to August 3, 2026 at 3:00 PM MST/MDT through the eProNM system. The contract is anticipated for one year with options to extend up to three additional years on a year-by-year basis, subject to legislative funding. This RFP will result in multiple awards.

The amendment specifically modifies Section V, Subsection B, Paragraph 9.C.6, changing the cost evaluation methodology. Previously, cost evaluation was calculated as a ratio of the lowest responsive offeror's cost divided by each offeror's cost, multiplied by 200 available award points. The amendment directs evaluators to reference Section IV, Specification, C. Business Specification, Paragraph 6 for cost evaluation criteria. Compensation is structured on hourly labor rates, equipment rates, material costs, and fixed or unit-based charges for wellfield services, with mileage reimbursable only for travel beyond 20 miles from the contractor's place of business. Contractors must demonstrate financial stability and bonding capacity sufficient to secure performance and payment bonds for work orders exceeding applicable thresholds, as individual work orders may exceed $60,000 and trigger Public Works Minimum Wage Act and prevailing wage requirements.
