PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) requires the services of a construction contractor to replace Check One of Sublateral 73-36. The structure is an important component of the Colorado River Irrigation Project (CRIP). The existing concrete structure failed during the month of July 2023. At that time voids formed beneath and around the east half of the structure. The formation of these voids caused the east half of the structure to crack and drop in elevation. After the structural failure, water levels upstream of the structure could no longer be maintained as required. The existing structure must be demolished and removed, and a new structure serving the same purpose must be constructed a short distance downstream from its current location. The work will involve construction of a temporary check structure, which will be installed at the head of a temporary bypass channel that will be used to divert canal flows around the location of the new check structure to accommodate construction.

Additionally, the installation of a new sub-sublateral turnout headgate structure is required to replace the existing turnout structure located adjacent to the existing Check One structure.

In order to accomplish the project objectives, the BIA seeks to hire a reputable construction contractor familiar with sheet pile installation, irrigation gate installation, as well as concrete structure and earthwork construction. See attachments for additional information.

PROJECT LOCATION: The Sublateral 73-36 Check One structure is located approximately

5.5 miles south of Poston, Arizona, at the intersection of Mark Road and 10th Ave. The structure also lies within the Colorado River Indian Reservation in western Arizona. The structure has approximate UTM Zone 11 coordinates of 741309.1 m E and 3755415.8 m N.
