The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is seeking a sole source procurement with Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) for comprehensive floodplain modeling services targeting the Puerco River in Gallup, New Mexico. The project involves updating floodplain mapping from the Interstate 40 crossing upstream to approximately 800 feet east of Ford Street, with work scheduled over a 4-year term. Specific project deliverables include data gathering, hydrologic analysis, 2D hydraulic modeling, and floodway analysis, alongside multiple stakeholder and FEMA coordination meetings. BHI was selected as the sole source contractor due to their extensive prior involvement in the Allison Road Corridor project since 2011, possessing unique project knowledge and proprietary design documents. The contract is critically time-sensitive, aligned with a Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Grant, with potential risks of jeopardizing federal grant deadlines if a new consultant were to be engaged. The contract was posted on September 24, 2025, with a response deadline of October 24, 2025.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. The total contract value is established at $415,064.13, excluding New Mexico gross receipts tax. BHI is positioned as the incumbent and exclusive contractor for this project, with selection justified by their specialized institutional knowledge and existing project documentation. The project requires precise coordination with FEMA and local stakeholders, suggesting a complex technical and administrative environment. Integration requirements include existing floodplain mapping infrastructure and potential coordination with railroad crossing elimination project systems. Funding is partially derived from the RCE Grant, indicating potential federal oversight and compliance requirements. The procurement methodology of sole source contracting suggests a narrow, specialized scope that limits competitive bidding based on BHI's unique qualifications and prior project involvement.
