New custom rotoseive shafts and repair of damaged shafts

The Village of Los Lunas, New Mexico Public Works Department is pursuing a sole-source procurement for two new custom Rotoseive shafts and repair of two existing damaged shafts for its Wastewater Treatment Facility, with a proposal due date of August 22, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Accurate Machine & Tool Co., Inc. under NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-126, based on a sole-source justification that these custom shafts are manufactured exclusively by Accurate Machine & Tool with no comparable competing products or alternative sources.

The Rotoseive shafts are critical first-stage screening components that remove debris to prevent damage to downstream pumps and process equipment at the facility located at 1960 Heaton Loop, Los Lunas. The custom design, dimensions, machining tolerances, and interface requirements make commercially available shafts unsuitable without substantial equipment modifications. Failure to procure these components risks equipment failure, reduced screening efficiency, downstream equipment damage, increased maintenance costs, operational downtime, and potential permit non-compliance.

The total procurement cost is $22,600 — $15,000 for two new custom shafts and $7,600 for repair of two existing damaged shafts — based on a quote from Accurate Machine & Tool dated April 2, 2026. The procurement was requested by Craig Byers, Wastewater Superintendent, on July 21, 2026, and is pending approval from Tamie Manns, Procurement Officer. No pre-bid meeting, site visit, or question-due date is specified.
