Airport runway patch work

Santa Fe Regional Airport is documenting an emergency procurement for airport runway patch work completed on August 5, 2026, with formal approval issued August 6, 2026.

The scope consisted of 3-inch asphalt patching across eight sections (total dimensions: 6'×26', 3'×26', 4'×58', 6'×8', 5'×23', 4'×9', 5'×14', and 4'×11'), cold milling of 3-inch asphalt (87 square yards), and HMA SP IV installation (87 square yards), plus mobilization. The work was triggered by a runway blowout on August 5 that created a safety hazard and forced runway closure; approval proceeded under emergency procedures authorized by Chief Procurement Officer Travis Dutton-Leyda via phone on August 5, with formal determinations completed by the Procurement Analyst, Department Director, Chief Procurement Officer, City Attorney, and Finance Director by August 6.

The contract value is $21,172.29, comprised of a $10,000 mobilization fee, $870 for cold milling ($10.00 per square yard), $8,700 for HMA SP IV installation ($100.00 per square yard), and $1,602.29 in sales tax. The awardee is GM Emulsion, located at 5935 Agua Fria Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico, holding NM Contractor's License 370602. The invoice was issued August 6, 2026, with payment due September 1, 2026. Funding flows from the Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

The Santa Fe Regional Airport intends to establish a blanket purchase order for future pavement maintenance to avoid similar emergency procurements going forward.
