- CHC Engineers, LLC
Description
The City of Bloomfield, New Mexico, issued a sole‑source professional services contract to CHC Engineers, LLC for comprehensive water‑system improvements, including planning, design, construction, replacement of a water storage tank, and related engineering coordination. The contract is valued at $28,380 (pre‑tax) and runs for one year (May 1 2026 – April 30 2027). The city justified the sole‑source award on the basis of CHC’s unique, project‑specific expertise and the absence of an in‑house City Engineer, which would make switching firms costly and delay‑prone.
• Scope: full‑cycle engineering services for water‑system upgrades, concrete‑tank design, BLM right‑of‑way negotiations, and increased construction administration.
• Justification: unique expertise, continuity, risk mitigation, and cost‑effectiveness; no competitive alternatives deemed viable.
• Financials: fixed‑price $28,380, 365‑day term, no taxes or renewals specified.
