This amendment document is issued by the State of New Mexico General Services Department Purchasing Division to modify Invitation to Bid Number 70-00000-26-00008 for Installation and Service of Water Systems. The bid opening date has been extended from October 27, 2026 to November 10, 2026. The underlying contract opportunity seeks sealed bids to establish a statewide price agreement for installation and service of water systems across four geographic zones (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast). The scope encompasses 160 line items covering installation, diagnostics, electrical work, removals, repairs, parts supply, maintenance, and upgrades for irrigation wells, domestic wells, windmills, solar wells, and water capture systems. Bidders may respond for all four zones or individual zones. The price agreement runs one year from award with options to extend for two additional years on a year-to-year basis by mutual agreement, not to exceed three years total. Electronic bidding submission is required through eProNM, and bidders who have already submitted electronic bids must resubmit to acknowledge this amendment or their bids will not be accepted.

Pricing must be submitted as all-inclusive hourly rates for supervisors and laborers, mileage rates, and parts discount percentages for each service type and region. Contractors are entitled to travel time and mileage for distances exceeding fifty miles from their place of business to jobsites. Fixed pricing applies for each contract year, with annual price adjustments at renewal limited to no more than 10 percent increases supported by demonstrable market evidence. Bidders must hold a valid New Mexico Construction Industries Division contractor's license and comply with applicable wage rate determinations. Public liability insurance with minimum coverage of $100,000 per occurrence for property damage, $300,000 per person for other damages, and $500,000 for all claims per occurrence is mandatory. A 100 percent performance bond and 100 percent payment and material bond are required for projects exceeding $25,000. Workers' compensation insurance is mandatory, and all awarded contractors must register with SAM and submit valid W-9 forms. No resident preference applies due to potential federal funding involvement.
