All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration.

Proposed Project:



The Bureau of Reclamation, Yuma Area Office, has a requirement for the upgrade of the Brock Reservoir Outlet Pipe Cathodic Protection System. The Work consists of the removal of the existing system and installation of a new cathodic protection system and spot recoating of the interior of the two 9 foot diameter steel outlet pipes. Each of the existing steel outlet pipes are is approximately 890 feet in length. Installation of a new cathodic protection system and spot recoating, must be completed without adversely affecting the existing pipe coating system. The exterior steel surface of the pipe is protected by polyurethane coating, approximately ± 30 mils thick. The existing cathodic protection system runs the full length of both each pipes. The interior steel surfaces of each pipe is protected with an epoxy paint circa 2010. The existing galvanic anode cathodic protection system has an anode support system that is failing, resulting in a loss of magnesium anodes and causing abrasive damage to the epoxy coating of the outlet pipes. The loss of anodes combined with the damage to the coating system will lead to an increased risk of damage to the steel outlet pipes and possible leaks.



Work is located approximately 25 miles West of Yuma, Arizona in Imperial County, California.

The installation of an Earthen plug or cofferdam on the upstream and downstream canals of the system. Removal of existing cathodic protection system in each pipe. Furnish and install new submerged galvanic anode cathodic protection for pipes. Installation of the new anode support system shall not disband the exterior pipe coating. Recoat areas of damaged interior coating. All components of work must be completed during a 45-60 day maximum system outage.
