Foothills Drive Enhancement Phase III

The City of Farmington is issuing a construction solicitation for the Foothills Drive Enhancement Phase III project, which involves demolishing the existing road on Foothills between Mesa Del Oso and Cheva Court and reconstructing it with two 11-foot travel lanes, 5-foot bike lanes, a 10-foot multi-use trail, and drainage improvements. The project requires contractors to furnish all labor, equipment, and materials necessary for completion and mandates that bidders hold a GA-98 license. The contract is valued between two and five million dollars and is open for bids until June 25, 2024. The project is governed by detailed contractual conditions outlined in the City’s standard construction documents, including provisions for bonds, insurance, change orders, payments, and dispute resolution, aligned with New Mexico standards. The bidding process is supported by comprehensive contract forms, including notices of award, agreements, performance bonds, and insurance certificates, which formalize the contractual relationship between the City and the selected contractor. The project documentation emphasizes adherence to industry standards and specifies the responsibilities of all parties involved. Additionally, the City has updated its email communication protocols effective June 1, 2024, requiring the use of the FarmingtonNM.gov suffix for official correspondence. The procurement process is managed through an online bidding platform, with primary contact being Kelli Sandoval, and the project aims to ensure quality infrastructure improvements while complying with local and state regulations.
