70-M0087-26-EM078 - Airport Runway Patch Work

Solicitation 70-M0087-26-EM078 is an emergency sole source procurement for critical runway patching at the Santa Fe Regional Airport in New Mexico. The project was initiated to address a safety-threatening blowout that required the immediate closure of the runway. The work, performed by GM Emulsion on August 5, 2026, involved the mobilization of equipment, cold milling of three-inch asphalt layers, and the placement of HMA SP IV hot mix asphalt across approximately 150 linear feet of damaged sections. The procurement was authorized under NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-126.1, bypassing competitive bidding due to the urgent need to preserve public safety and restore airport operations. The total contract value ranges from 19,570.00 dollars for base costs to 21,172.29 dollars including sales tax. This one-time, firm-fixed-price arrangement included specific line items for mobilization, cold milling, and asphalt placement. The project was managed by the Santa Fe Regional Airport with oversight from Chief Procurement Officer Travis Dutton-Leyda and administrative support from Kelly Bynon and Kristy Miera. Final acceptance was based on the functional repair of the runway, and the solicitation was officially posted on August 7, 2026, with a response deadline of September 7, 2026.
