Class D rock (3'-5' rock)

The New Mexico Department of Transportation is procuring Class D Rock (3'–5' rock) under an emergency determination, with a proposal due date of October 30, 2026. This is a sole-source emergency procurement awarded to A-1 Quality Redi-Mix, Inc., not a competitive solicitation.

The scope is delivery and placement of 5,000 tons of Class D Rock at the bases of two bridge structures spanning the Matanza Arroyo near Socorro, New Mexico — one at Interstate 25 milepost 147.5 and one at New Mexico Route 1 milepost 60.5. The material is required to remediate severe erosion and scour damage sustained following heavy rainfall during the week of September 21, 2026, and to prevent potential structural washout in advance of forecasted additional heavy rainfall. Actual delivery is expected within one day of contract execution.

The total contract amount is $459,829.69 over a 30-day term. The awardee is A-1 Quality Redi-Mix, Inc., located at 1141 West Highway 60, PO Box 591, Socorro, New Mexico 87801.

NMDOT justified emergency procurement under NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-127 on grounds that the material was not available under existing statewide price agreements, no existing contract provided a qualified contractor capable of material placement, and the quantity needed exceeded the $60,000 threshold allowable under the three-quote procurement process. The agency notes that the emergency procurement is in place only for the duration necessary for vendor delivery. To mitigate similar emergencies, NMDOT District One maintenance crews plan ongoing structural maintenance and establishment of in-place statewide price agreements for comparable future situations.
