AI Contract Overview
The Buckman Direct Diversion Facility is a critical water infrastructure project on the Rio Grande River, approximately 15 miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, designed to divert, treat, and deliver drinking water to the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County under the oversight of a Joint Powers Board established in 2005. The facility, operational since 2011, was engineered to handle a maximum daily diversion of 20.8 million gallons per day from the river, with a net delivery of 15 million gallons per day after treatment, using a multi-stage process involving sediment removal via Lakos separators, uphill pumping over 1,100 vertical feet through 11 miles of 30-inch pipe, and advanced purification at a central treatment plant. Despite its intended role as the backbone of regional water resilience, the facility has fallen short of performance expectations due to chronic challenges with seasonal sediment and turbidity fluctuations in the river, leading to inefficiencies in intake and filtration. As a result, the Board has identified the design and construction of a new sediment-excluding intake system as the top priority, alongside enhancements to sediment removal technology, to restore operational reliability and meet long-term water demands. This solicitation seeks professional engineering services to advance the 30% design phase of the new intake facility, requiring hydraulic modeling, sediment transport analysis, cost estimation per AACE Class 4 and refined Class 3 standards, and alignment with the approved Basis of Design and Conceptual Layouts, with an expected nine-month project duration. The evaluation of proposals is based on a trade-off process prioritizing organizational experience at 60% weight, followed by references, mandatory specifications, interview performance, and financial stability, ensuring the selection of the most qualified and value-driven firm. Proposals must demonstrate technical competence through detailed key personnel qualifications, disclose any organizational conflicts of interest per New Mexico’s Governmental Conduct Act, submit full subcontractor lists and conflict of interest certifications, and comply with local preference rules requiring residency certification within Santa Fe. All submissions are required electronically through a designated portal using Word or Excel formats, with no formal contract value, delivery location, or payment details specified beyond the procurement’s overarching scope. The procurement falls under NAICS 541330 and is issued by the City of Santa Fe through its Central Purchasing Division, with proposals due by June 12, 2026, and an anticipated award date of July 9, 2026.
