LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTED DIVERSION PROGRAM

The State Purchasing Division of the General Services Department and the New Mexico Spaceport Authority are soliciting proposals for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Gateway to Space building located at Spaceport America. This Request for Proposals (RFP) requires a complete roof system replacement, encompassing new pre-finished overflow scuppers, metal coping, wood nailers, flashing, and associated interior ceiling repairs. The project demands full demolition of the existing EPDMP roof system and installation of new roofing materials, including all necessary HVAC and electrical work. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a point-based system across multiple categories: organizational experience (100 points), references (90 points), management plan (150 points), and cost (300 points). Key dates include the RFP release on August 14, 2025, a mandatory pre-proposal conference on August 25, 2025, at the Spaceport Operations Center, and proposal submissions due by September 11, 2025. Bidders must provide detailed financial statements, demonstrate financial stability, and comply with specific licensing and safety requirements. The contract is set to conclude on August 31, 2026, with a single award anticipated.

The RFP includes provisions for potential New Mexico/Native American resident business preferences and requires a performance bond. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the evaluation criteria suggest a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience and financial stability. Bidders will need to provide comprehensive financial documentation to prove their organizational capacity. The contract includes a 5% owner's allowance to be administered at the agency's discretion, indicating flexibility in project management. Though a precise contract value is not specified, the requirement for bidders to submit a total combined cost for demolition and construction suggests the budget will be determined by the most competitive proposal. Prospective contractors must be prepared to integrate with existing Spaceport America infrastructure and meet the technical specifications outlined in the procurement documents. The project represents a significant opportunity for contractors with expertise in specialized roofing systems and experience working with government aerospace facilities.
