This document is a Sources Sought Questions for Industry document from the Bureau of Reclamation seeking information from potential contractors for water infrastructure projects across seventeen western states.

Specific areas of inquiry include the firm's ability to provide services across all seventeen western states, experience with large-scale federal water infrastructure projects, construction management expertise, quality assurance processes, safety records, technical tools and software capabilities, subcontractor relationships, and innovative practices that could benefit the project. The document is designed to help Reclamation assess potential contractors' qualifications for future water infrastructure construction management and inspection services, with potential opportunities that could extend nationwide and include US Territories.
