Contractors must demonstrate relevant experience with public or private facility projects of similar size and scope, as well as provide information on project staffing, past performance, and proposed approach.

Paragraph 2:

The RFP allows for New Mexico and Native American resident business preferences to be applied, which can provide up to 80 or 100 additional points during the evaluation. No specific set-aside requirements or incumbent vendors are mentioned. The procurement is open to all qualified bidders, but subcontractors performing work valued over $390,000 (one-half of one percent of the total project cost) must submit additional qualifications information. The contract will be funded through a combination of sources, with $78 million available initially for the base bid and additional funding expected later for alternates. The total award value is not explicitly stated but is indicated by the $122 million MACC before taxes.
