    The Bureau of Reclamation seeks an independent scientific review of Technical Memorandum 8540-2024-13, which outlines corrosion mitigation strategies for buried metallic water pipes in its infrastructure. This document supersedes an earlier memorandum and marks a shift to a risk-informed approach for corrosion protection, evaluating various environmental and design factors. The review will involve three subject matter experts (SMEs) in corrosion engineering who will assess whether the proposed criteria for soil corrosivity are adequate and if the methods can ensure a service life of 50 to 100 years for the pipes. Key tasks include a virtual kickoff meeting, independent review of TM 2024, consideration of public commentary, and delivery of a consolidated report of findings. The contractor must demonstrate significant experience in conducting engineering reviews, and the SMEs must possess substantial qualifications, including a minimum of 25 years of relevant experience and specific professional licenses or certifications. The review aims to ensure compliance with industry standards, informed decision-making regarding corrosion prevention, and adherence to federal regulations. The contract duration is expected to be 90 days, with specified deadlines for deliverables and government oversight throughout the process, ensuring quality and timely completion of tasks.
