School board awards multiple on‑demand contracts for paving, fencing and bleacher inspections
Summary
On June 9 the board approved multiple indefinite-quantity invitation-to-bid awards for paving, fencing and bleacher/wall-partition inspections and repair, citing variable low bids across categories and the need for multiple vendors over a multi-year period.
The Rio Rancho Public Schools Board on June 9 approved multiple invitation-to-bid (ITB) awards to several vendors for paving, fencing and bleacher/wall-partition inspection and repair contracts, all structured as on‑demand or indefinite-quantity agreements to cover expected work over the next three years.
Michael Madrid, director of purchasing and chief procurement officer, told the board the district used state highway transportation and city specifications when drafting the solicitations and that bids showed no single vendor was lowest across all line items, prompting a recommendation for multiple awards so the district can match vendors to specific tasks and unit-price categories.
ITB 2025-020-FAC (asphalt/paving and related work) was awarded to multiple vendors including Outdoor Construction Inc., Raymac Construction, Star Paving Company, Sunland Asphalt Construction LLC and TLC Inc.; one bidder, United Paving, was deemed unresponsive. ITB 2025-225-FAC (fencing materials and repair, on demand) was awarded to Albuquerque Fence Company (AFC), American Fence (dba), Apache Construction (dba Valley Fence), LCI Construction LLC and TriWest Fence. ITB 2025-024-FAC (bleacher and movable wall partition inspection and repair) was awarded to AK Sales and Consulting with Norcon of New Mexico named as an additional award to provide backup capacity and address potential supply-chain timing.
Board Member Tyler moved the paving award motion and later the fencing and bleacher motions; roll-call votes carried each item by the recorded majorities. Madrid noted prior district experience with many of the recommended vendors and cited a potential backlog and supply-chain factors for inspection/repair timelines that justified naming a primary and alternate vendor for the bleacher work.
The awards establish unit prices and allow the district to issue work orders as needs arise; they do not commit a specific total-dollar purchase at approval time. Staff said work will be scheduled and scopes defined on a case-by-case basis over the contract terms.
