Curry County, New Mexico is soliciting competitive sealed bids for ITB 2025/26-02 Pretrial Services Construction, a comprehensive renovation project involving the transformation of approximately 917 square feet of basement space within the Curry County Courthouse. The project will create a new Pre-trial Services department with three offices and an open workspace, requiring extensive interior demolition, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing system modifications. The renovation will include new interior partitions, floor finishes, lighting, and electrical infrastructure, with work to be completed according to plans prepared by NCA Architects, LLC and conforming to 2021 International Building Code standards. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Curry County Administration Office, with a site visit to follow, and sealed bids are due electronically through BidNet on September 3, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and demonstrate compliance with the New Mexico Procurement Code, with the county intending to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

The procurement allows for preference designations, including Resident Veterans Contractor (10% preference), Resident Contractor (8% preference), and Native American Contractor (8-10% preference). Contractors must submit a Resident/Veterans Preference Certification Form and a Campaign Contribution Disclosure Form, which requires reporting of contributions to specific public officials. The project mandates 100% Performance and Payment Bonds from a surety authorized to do business in New Mexico, with subcontractors having contracts exceeding $5,000 required to be listed and potentially needing to provide their own performance and payment bonds. While the precise project budget is not explicitly stated, the Architect's estimate suggests a project value around $200,000, with a projected completion timeline of 5 months after receiving the Notice to Proceed or Building Permit. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per day for late completion, and the project includes a one-year warranty period with monthly maintenance visits. Additional requirements include Commercial General Liability insurance with $2 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate limits.
