Doble all-in-one protective relay tester.

The State of New Mexico, through the Department of Homeland Security Emergency Management (DHSEM), has issued an emergency procurement for debris removal services in response to the South Fork Fire in Lincoln County and the Salt Fire on the Mescalero Apache Reservation in 2024, as well as subsequent flooding. The $75 million, 6-month contract with DRC Emergency Services includes structural debris removal, hazard tree removal, and environmental protection measures on over 900 damaged or destroyed private properties. The contractor will be required to coordinate with DHSEM and federal agencies to ensure compliance with regulations and mitigate public health and safety concerns before the arrival of the monsoon season. The emergency procurement aims to assist private homeowners in safeguarding health and initiating recovery efforts, as property owners are advised against initiating debris removal themselves due to potential exposure to harmful toxins.

Additionally, the City of Farmington, New Mexico has issued a notice of intent for a sole source procurement of a Doble Client Services Agreement, which provides access to specialized diagnostic test equipment, accessories, software, and related services from Doble Engineering. The estimated annual expenditure is $80,060, and the procurement is justified as Doble Engineering is the sole supplier of the required services and equipment. Interested parties have until August 5, 2024 to submit evidence that more than one firm can perform the required services, after which the City may issue a competitive solicitation if multiple qualified sources are identified.
