Taos County awards NM 150 slip-lining bid to TJV LLC; manager authorized to sign contract
Summary
The county purchasing department recommended and the commission approved awarding ITB 2026-5 for NM 150 slip-lining and Yerba culverts to TJV LLC as the low bidder at $164,000; commissioners authorized the county manager to execute the contract with a 10% contingency noted.
Taos County purchasing staff reported five responses to ITB 2026-5 for slip-lining and culvert work on New Mexico 150 and recommended awarding the contract to the lowest-priced bidder, TJV LLC. Staff said a 10% contingency will likely be added to the contract to cover potential additional costs.
"The lowest price obviously was TJV, LLC at 164,000," purchasing staff said during the presentation and recommended awarding the bid and authorizing the county manager to sign the final contract so work can proceed before runoff season.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the award and granted authority to the county manager to sign the final contract; staff noted timing is important because runoff could hinder construction if start is delayed.
Why it matters: The award authorizes urgent infrastructure work on NM 150 to reduce near-term runoff and road impacts; the county confirmed procurement followed the published bid and resident-business certification rules and included a contingency for unforeseen costs.
