The procurement is targeting qualified law firms to provide full legal representation and management of all city-related legal matters, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Specific deliverables include attending city council meetings, drafting resolutions and contracts, providing legal opinions, and advising on policy issues. The contract will be for an initial one-year term with potential automatic renewals for up to three additional one-year terms, not to exceed a total of four years. Evaluation criteria are extensive, totaling 1050 possible points, with key focus areas including experience with New Mexico local public bodies (200 points), accessibility and timeliness (200 points), cost (100 points), and specific legal experience in areas such as contract, employment, procurement, and criminal law (45 points each). A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on August 25, 2022, at 3:00 pm MST, and proposals were due by September 8, 2022, at 11:00 am MST through the BidNetDirect platform.

The solicitation includes provisions for business preferences, particularly for resident veterans and New Mexico-based businesses. Businesses can claim preference discounts ranging from 7-10% based on annual revenue, with additional evaluation weight for resident veteran or Native American resident veteran businesses. The RFP requires professional liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the legal services suggests a significant contract value. Proposing firms must meet various certification requirements, though the RFP has modified some mandatory qualifications to be desirable, such as local government law specialization. The procurement emphasizes equal opportunity employment, ensuring consideration for all qualified offerors regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Interested parties were required to register on the BidNetDirect platform to access complete solicitation documents and submit proposals.
