BACKGROUND In May 2015, Santa Fe County entered into Agreement No. 2015-0183-GM with Ecotone for the creation of a site specific Strategic Management Plan for three open space properties within the San Pedro Open Space in accordance with the County Sustainable Growth Management Plan. Santa Fe County owns the 320-acre San Pedro Open Space near Golden, NM. Santa Fe County acquired the southern 160-acre parcel in 2011. A management plan was then created for this property in 2016. In 2024, Santa Fe County acquired two northern parcels, totaling 160 acres, doubling the size of the open space to 320 acres. It is necessary to update the management plan to account for these additional parcels, and to plan trails and other recreational amenities on the expanded open space property. Ecotone Landscape Planning, LLC was selected to create the original San Pedro Open Space management plan via a competitive RFP process in 2015 (then doing business as “Ecotone”).No other solicitation would be competitive because Ecotone Landscape Planning has already completed the research, data collection, stakeholder engagement and document preparation for the original management plan, which includes half of the area of the now expanded open space property. DETERMINATION Although there are other landscape planning firms that can provide and develop an open space management plan, Ecotone had produced the original management plan and it would not be advantageous to Santa Fe County to contract with any other planning firm to update the management plan that was originally developed by Ecotone. 102 Grant Avenue · P.O.

Santa Fe County in New Mexico is using this solicitation to procure consulting work. Sole-source solicitations are issued when only one vendor can provide the required item or service; competing vendors may still submit objections during the public comment window. Bidders responding to a consulting solicitation in New Mexico are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in New Mexico so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this solicitation, review the full solicitation documents for Santa Fe County's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit.
