BIA conveys water within the CRIP Main Canal for 50 weeks each year, with a 2-week long annual dry-up period scheduled each January. All the irrigation and electrical modifications awarded under this contract must be coordinated to avoid impacts to irrigation operations and comply with environmental work restrictions.

To accomplish the project objectives, the BIA seeks to hire a reputable construction contractor familiar with constructing hydraulic structures, earthwork, drilled shaft foundations, overhead electrical transmission lines and poles, and installing/readying for service large radial gates. The successful contractor must be able to work under challenging construction schedules and time constraints, coordinate multiple interrelated elements of work, react to unforeseen conditions, and work with the BIA to deliver a successful project within the defined work restrictions and milestone dates. Work restrictions include, but are not limited to, regular irrigation operations, restrictions on the timing/duration of the Contractor’s electrical transmission outages, and restrictions on the timing of Contractor’s vegetation clearing operations.

PROJECT LOCATION: Work awarded under this contract is for multiple, related projects at four general sites around southwest Arizona. The project sites are the MC185, MC270, and MC420 check structure sites on the CRIP Main Canal as well as Lateral 73-36.
