LOADER, BACKHOE

The New Mexico General Services Department Purchasing Division is soliciting bids on one four-wheel-drive backhoe loader for the New Mexico Environment Department's State Parks Division under ITB 70-00000-26-00002, with bids due August 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The successful bidder must be an authorized dealer with established dealership, parts, and service facilities in New Mexico staffed with Original Equipment Manufacturer-certified mechanics — a vendor-qualification filter that narrows the competitive pool to in-state authorized dealers.

The scope covers a single four-wheel-drive backhoe loader with an extendable dipper stick, delivery within 180 working days of order, and dealer preparation including filled fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid tanks and tested engine shutdown systems. Equipment must include three sets of keys, a technical manual, parts book, and operator's manual. Bidders may submit pricing for up to three models and must itemize base unit price alongside optional add-on and deduct pricing for attachments and modifications including service plans, spare tires, snow equipment, hydraulic breakers, and backup cameras.

The contract term is one year from award with three one-year renewal options, not to exceed four years total, at fixed pricing annually. Pricing adjustments at renewal may not exceed 10 percent and require substantiating evidence of demonstrable market changes. The unit must carry a minimum two-year full bumper-to-bumper warranty on all parts and labor, with powertrain coverage extending five years and 2,500 hours minimum. Replacement parts must be provided within five working days during warranty, and warranty repairs completed within five working days of receipt or a like unit provided at no cost. Late deliveries incur penalties of $25 per unit per day. All bids must include a signed W-9 Form and be submitted electronically through eProNM with no late submissions accepted. Unit pricing excludes New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax and local option taxes, which are added as separate invoice line items at applicable rates.
