This is a Scope of Work document for legal services provided to the San Juan Water Commission in New Mexico. The Commission seeks comprehensive legal representation covering a broad range of matters including administrative law, water law, contract review and negotiation, litigation support, regulatory compliance, and general counsel services. The legal services will support the Commission's operations, water rights management, infrastructure projects, and regulatory interactions with state and federal agencies. The contract term is for one year from the effective date, with renewal options available at the mutual agreement of both parties. Specific response deadlines, site visits, and bidder meetings are not detailed in this scope document, as these details are typically outlined in the associated Request for Proposals or solicitation notice.

The pricing structure and compensation terms for legal services are to be negotiated as part of the procurement process and will be established in the final contract agreement. This engagement may involve either hourly rate billing, fixed fee arrangements, or a combination thereof, depending on the nature and scope of legal matters anticipated. The document does not specify set-asides, incumbent information, or detailed funding sources and amounts, as these elements are typically addressed in the primary solicitation documents. The legal services will be essential to ensuring the San Juan Water Commission's compliance with applicable water law, contractual obligations, and regulatory requirements while supporting the Commission's mission to manage and deliver water resources effectively.
