This is a sole source justification document for CDM Smith regarding continued engineering services for the Tucumcari Reuse Project in New Mexico. The document outlines the rationale for awarding engineering services to CDM Smith without competitive bidding, citing the contractor's existing knowledge of the project, prior work history, and technical expertise as justification for the sole source procurement method. The services requested include continued engineering support for the ongoing reuse project, building upon previously completed work and preliminary design phases. The contract represents a continuation of existing services rather than a new procurement, with CDM Smith identified as the incumbent contractor with demonstrated capability and project familiarity necessary for seamless continuation of work.

The sole source justification emphasizes cost efficiency and project continuity as key factors supporting the non-competitive award to CDM Smith. By utilizing the existing contractor, the procurement avoids delays associated with competitive bidding processes and leverages the contractor's institutional knowledge and previously developed project materials. The document indicates that CDM Smith's ongoing involvement reduces risk and ensures consistency in engineering approach and quality standards. Funding for the continued services derives from the project's existing budget allocation, with the sole source method determined to be the most economical and efficient approach for this specialized continuation of technical services.
