The board authorized advertising plans and specifications for Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP) pipeline Contracts 6B/6C and 7A/7B, totaling approximately 31.2 miles of large-diameter pipeline. These segments include eight trenchless crossings and significant tunneling, with an overall engineer’s estimate of about 262000000, up roughly 30000000 from prior program estimates. Bidding is anticipated in May 2025, with bid opening and award targeted for July and notices to proceed in August, so construction could begin as early as fall 2025 if state cost share and financing align. This is a live heavy civil opportunity for contractors, tunneling specialists, materials suppliers, and construction management firms looking to participate either as primes or subs on a long-term regional water supply project. Vendors should engage quickly with Garrison Diversion and design engineers to understand bid requirements, prequalification expectations, and local cost-share conditions tied to State Water Commission approvals.
