DOE Determination - Modifying the Manhole Repairs at the County Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in Santa Fe

This emergency procurement authorizes Santa Fe County to address a collapsed manhole line at its County Wastewater Treatment Facility. The county has opened an open encumbrance and awarded the work to Sub Surface Contracting, LLC without competition, citing NM emergency procurement statutes. The effort includes clearing, repairing, and shoring the affected manholes, replacing an 8‑inch PVC line, conducting soil compaction testing, concrete work, and ongoing weekly jet‑flushing until a full redesign of the WWTF is completed. The total anticipated spend exceeds $250,000, with an initial $37,773.08 line‑clearance already performed. • Emergency authority invoked under NMSA 1978 §13‑1‑127 (public health threat). • Single‑vendor award to Sub Surface Contracting, LLC for manhole rehabilitation, pipe replacement, shoring, testing, and jet‑flushing. • Funding via an open encumbrance; work is already in progress and will continue until the WWTF redesign is finished.
