This emergency procurement awards a single‑source contract to Souder Miller and Associates for professional engineering design services related to an urgent well‑replacement project for the Gabaldon water‑service district. The agency identified a critical shortage of water from two existing wells, threatening roughly 18 service connections and about 45 residents, and therefore bypassed normal competitive procedures under New Mexico’s emergency procurement statute (NMSA 13‑1‑127). The scope is limited to preliminary design work—including data review, coordination with regulators, preparation of design documents, and permitting support—to move the replacement well toward construction as quickly as possible. The contract value is approximately $23‑$25 k, runs for just over three weeks (June 8‑June 30 2026), and is funded directly by the agency.
