Madrid Water Tank Engineering Sole Source Procurement

The New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) is awarding a one‑year sole‑source professional‑engineering contract to Tierra West LLC for the Engineer of Record services on the Madrid Water Tank project. The contractor will provide design compliance, construction engineering oversight, weekly site inspections, as‑built drawings, and final inspection support for the completion of a 125,000‑gallon steel water storage tank and associated fire‑suppression infrastructure in the town of Madrid, Santa Fe County. This engagement follows a prior small PSA that expired in January 2026 and is required because only the original designer can legally act as Engineer of Record. • Scope includes engineering design review, construction management, field inspections, hydrostatic testing oversight, and delivery of stamped as‑built documents. • Contract value is approximately $21,256 (including tax) for a 12‑month period beginning July 1 2026. • The sole‑source justification is that Tierra West is the original design engineer and the only firm capable of serving as Engineer of Record without exposing the state to liability.
