Re: Payments on NMDOT projects
Last week the ACNM Board of Directors met with DOT Secretary Rhonda Faught to discuss concerns in the construction community about payment issues on DOT projects.
As a result, Secretary Faught has directed her senior management to meet with ACNM to resolve these payment issues. To prepare for this meeting, ACNM is requesting that our members provide information (ie. Project number, payment application number on DOT projects that contractors still remain unpaid). This information maybe sent to Mike Gibson, ACNM Executive Director, via email or fax (email mgibson@aconm.org and fax 505-344-1554).
We expect to have a meeting with NMDOT management during the first week in January 2008. Should you have any questions on this matter, please contact Mike Gibson at 505-344-2072.
