DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICES
The state of New Mexico, specifically involving Catron County and Rowe CDP, is seeking a comprehensive debris removal services contract through the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM). The procurement focuses on three primary functions: right-of-way debris removal, waterway clearance, and private property debris removal. Specific service requirements include structural debris removal involving preparation, transport, and disposal of metals, ash, concrete foundations, potentially dangerous trees, and contaminated soil from residential properties. Hazard tree removal is another critical component, targeting damaged trees posing immediate threats to improved properties and public-use areas. The contractor must utilize specialized equipment like chainsaws and cranes, and prioritize responsible disposal with potential recycling options. Key objectives include ensuring safe property access, eliminating environmental hazards, preventing erosion, and protecting local ecosystems. The contract requires extensive coordination with DHSEM and federal agencies such as FEMA, EPA, and USACE to ensure compliance with all regulations. The procurement is currently posted with a due date of March 12, 2025, and was initially posted on February 12, 2025.
While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract will require contractor certification of all heavy machinery and trucks by an independent contractor to meet safety and Department of Transportation specifications. The contractor must demonstrate capability to accurately collect, weigh, and report disaster debris, and will be subject to independent monitoring by a state-designated agent who will report progress and issues to DHSEM. An independent contractor will oversee and verify work performance throughout the project duration. Though the specific attached document references a separate emergency procurement for AshBritt, Inc. in Chaves County with a contract value of $45,000,000, the precise budget range for this Catron County/Rowe CDP opportunity is not specified. The contract emphasizes environmental protection, requiring immediate action to prevent hazardous substance leaching and control erosion, with a strong focus on sustainable restoration and minimal environmental impact. Prospective contractors should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in disaster debris removal, environmental management, and complex logistics coordination.

New Mexico 9/20/26, 2:00 AM 8/21/26, 2:00 AM EMERGENCY DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICES
The New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) has issued an emergency procurement for Emergency Debris Removal Services, specifically targeting areas impacted by severe flooding in October 2024, with a primary focus on Catron County. The procurement is being conducted under the emergency procurement method outlined in NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-127, which allows for immediate acquisition of services to control serious threats to public health, welfare, safety, or property. The contract, currently awarded to AshBritt, Inc., encompasses comprehensive debris removal services including site setup, mobilization, demobilization, right-of-way assessment, debris identification and categorization, and utilization of GIS information. Key deliverables include establishing temporary facilities, evaluating flood damage, assessing hazardous trees, monitoring debris removal progress, and coordinating with local authorities. The emergency contract is set for a three-month term with a prospective contract amount of $12,000,000, and the procurement documents indicate that proposals must be submitted by December 1, 2024. The contractor is required to mobilize within 48 hours of notification and provide regular reporting on progress and environmental compliance.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, though standard emergency procurement protocols require competitive processes to the extent practicable under the circumstances. DHSEM is simultaneously pursuing a long-term solution through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process expected to conclude in December 2024, which suggests this emergency contract is a temporary measure to address immediate community needs. The current contractor, AshBritt, Inc., will be responsible for comprehensive environmental and community coordination, including hazardous material management and communication with local authorities. The total contract value is $12,000,000, which represents a significant investment in immediate disaster recovery infrastructure. While the procurement documents do not explicitly list alternative vendors, they emphasize the urgent nature of the services required to mitigate public safety risks associated with flood-related debris. The emergency determination form requires detailed accounting of expenditures, which must be reported to the legislative finance committee and department of finance and administration within sixty days after the end of the fiscal year.
