About this opportunity
The City of Gallup Electric Department has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 2026-RFP-001 seeking professional consulting services for electric transmission and compliance consulting. The primary objectives include transmission interconnection support, ensuring compliance with Western Electricity Coordination Council (WECC) standards, and facilitating coordination with utility partners like Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). Required services encompass power supply strategies, contract negotiations, system modeling, long-term planning, load forecasting, renewable energy integration, and regulatory compliance support. The proposal will be evaluated using a 100-point system (potentially increasing to 108-110 points with local business preferences), with points distributed across six key criteria: firm history and experience (20 points), service capacity and capability (20 points), past performance and references (20 points), key personnel qualifications (10 points), cost competitiveness (30 points), and local vendor preference (10 points). The proposal submission deadline is February 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with the selected consultant expected to provide strategic and technical advisory services for a four-year term. Consultants must possess professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 and demonstrate extensive expertise in electric transmission infrastructure planning and regulatory compliance.
The RFP indicates preferences for New Mexico-based and veteran-owned businesses, with additional points awarded for local vendor status. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, the evaluation criteria suggest an advantage for local and veteran-owned enterprises. The contract appears to be structured to support modernization of transmission networks and enhance system reliability, with potential integration requirements with existing utility infrastructure. Although a specific contract value is not mentioned, the comprehensive scope of services and four-year term suggest a substantial engagement. Professional requirements include providing insurance certificates with statutory limits for worker's compensation, commercial liability, and professional errors and omissions. The City of Gallup will require the selected consultant to comply with federal and state laws, particularly those related to equal employment opportunity, and must provide insurance certificates that include the City of Gallup as an additional insured on the commercial liability policy.
