Emergency Sewer Main Repair and Pipe Replacement at 730 Camino Del Pueblo

This contract pertains to an emergency sewer main repair behind 730 Camino Del Pueblo in Bernalillo, New Mexico, initiated due to a damaged clay pipe compromised by roots and partial collapse, which caused a backup affecting local business operations. The work involves Sunshine Plumbing removing the damaged pipe section, replacing it, and performing lean fill around the repair site to restore sewer functionality promptly. The procurement was conducted under state emergency procedures authorized by NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-127, allowing for a non-competitive, urgent response to safeguard public health and safety. The contract is estimated at approximately $15,000, with potential additional charges if the extent of the clog exceeds initial assessments. The scope emphasizes rapid completion, likely within two weeks, to mitigate further health risks. The solicitation is identified by number 60-M0008-25-EM127, posted on November 7, 2025, with a response deadline of December 4, 2025. As a state emergency procurement, it does not incorporate FAR clauses or standard federal acquisition procedures; instead, it relies on a state-specific emergency determination form, which documents the scope, justification, and approval process. The contract administration details include oversight by the Town of Bernalillo’s Chief Procurement Officer, Terri Gray, but lack specific technical standards, detailed evaluation criteria, or formal attachments beyond a referenced quote from Sunshine Plumbing. The performance location is the site of the sewer line, with work expected to be completed swiftly to restore service. The procurement process emphasizes urgency over formal competitive evaluation, with reporting obligations to state legislative and financial authorities due to the emergency nature of the work.
