The Department of the Interior, specifically the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is preparing to solicit proposals for the Colorado River Irrigation Project (CRIP), which involves the construction and rehabilitation of main canal check structures and the replacement of a failed lateral check structure. The project requires contractors to rehabilitate three main canal check structures, realign segments of the canal and electrical transmission lines, and construct a new check structure downstream of an existing failed facility, all while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. This initiative is crucial for maintaining efficient irrigation operations in the region. Interested contractors, particularly Indian-Owned Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can expect specific proposal submission instructions to be released around September 23, 2024. For inquiries, contractors may contact William McLaughlin at William.McLaughlin@bia.gov or by phone at (850) 281-3444.
