ITB 2025/26-05 Kevin Roberts Arena Expansion

Curry County, New Mexico is seeking competitive sealed bids for the Kevin Roberts Arena Expansion project through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2025/26-05, which involves constructing a 100 ft x 150 ft pre-engineered metal building addition to the north side of the existing arena at the Curry County Fairgrounds in Clovis. The project requires a comprehensive approach, with the contractor responsible for all labor, materials, engineering, permitting, and inspections, including removing existing columns, installing new lighting and a ceiling fan, and ensuring seamless integration with the current structure. The bid is due on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with electronic submissions required through BidNet, and the last day to submit questions is October 8, 2025. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and comply with the New Mexico Procurement Code, with the contract anticipated to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. The project is expected to be substantially completed by April 1, 2026, with liquidated damages of $250 per day for late completion.

The procurement requires a 100% performance bond and a 100% payment and materials bond, with an estimated total project cost of $525,000. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bid will consider emergency call-out rates and material mark-up in the event of multiple bidders with identical rates. The successful contractor must provide a one-year warranty on workmanship and materials and ensure full compliance with local building codes. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to integrate with existing infrastructure and complete the arena expansion with minimal disruption to current fairground operations. The project represents a significant investment in the county's fairground facilities, with potential opportunities for local contractors to showcase their construction and renovation capabilities in a public infrastructure project.
