San Juan County Posts Open Bids for Detention Center, Infrastructure
As of January 9, 2026, San Juan County’s Central Purchasing page lists active procurement opportunities including Bid 25-26-09 for construction work on the Adult Detention Center boiler room, with a submission deadline of January 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The postings, which also include projects such as a Lower Animas Ditch Lining Project closing February 4, 2026, are the county’s primary public outreach for vendors and affect local contractors, county facility operations, and water management stakeholders.
San Juan County’s Central Purchasing page is currently carrying multiple open requests for proposals and bids, providing the public and private vendors with formal opportunities to respond to county construction and infrastructure needs. Prominent among the postings is Bid 25-26-09, titled Construction of the Adult Detention Center Boiler Room Addition, which is listed as open with a closing date and time of January 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The site also lists the Lower Animas Ditch Lining Project, with a closing date of February 4, 2026, and several other active solicitations.
These postings function as the county’s official public notice for procurement and vendor outreach. Each listing includes vendor guidance, contact information for the Purchasing Department, and instructions for subscribing to bid and RFP notices, enabling interested firms to receive updates and prepare responsive proposals. For local contractors that specialize in mechanical systems, masonry, irrigation, and civil work, the announcements represent near-term opportunities for contracts and subcontracting relationships.
The boiler room addition at the county adult detention facility carries operational and budgetary implications. Timely completion could affect facility heating reliability, maintenance costs, and compliance with building and safety codes. The ditch lining project is significant for downstream water users and agricultural operations; lining work typically addresses erosion, seepage, and water conveyance efficiency, with consequences for irrigation delivery and long-term water management in the county.
Public procurement processes such as these are central to county transparency and fiscal stewardship. By posting requirements, timelines, and vendor contact pathways, San Juan County aims to attract competitive bids that can lower costs and deliver project accountability. Local officials and residents will have an interest in how contracts are awarded, project timelines, and any impacts on county budgets or services.
Vendors seeking to participate should consult the Central Purchasing page for detailed specifications, submission requirements, and purchasing department contact information. Municipal oversight and contract administration will determine project sequencing and community impact as work moves from solicitation to award and execution.
