    The government document outlines a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an independent scientific review of the draft "Technical Memorandum 8540-2024-13 Corrosion Mitigation for Buried Metallic Water Pipe" by the Bureau of Reclamation. This memorandum sets forth updated requirements for corrosion protection, transitioning from a soil resistivity-based methodology to a multi-faceted risk-informed analysis to enhance the durability of buried metallic pipelines. The selected contractor must provide three subject matter experts (SMEs) in corrosion engineering who will evaluate the document against current industry standards and deliver recommendations. Their review will address key questions regarding the adequacy of criteria for assessing soil corrosivity, the reliability of the corrosion prevention requirements, and the appropriateness of replacement rates for life cycle cost analysis. This initiative is mandated by law to receive independent scrutiny, ensuring that the recommendations made will extend the useful life of the infrastructure while complying with regulations. The contract emphasizes collaboration with government staff and addresses the consideration of public comments during the review process, marking a comprehensive approach to improving corrosion mitigation strategies within the Bureau’s projects.
