Y--SIMON DRAW DIVERSIONS

The contract for the Simon Draw Diversions project is a sole-source award issued under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, necessitating immediate completion before the end of the 2026 irrigation season. The award was made to WCA Construction, LLC, an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, under DIAR 1480.401(c)(2), which authorizes non-competitive procurement for tribal small businesses. The scope includes modifying the existing Earl Hart Ditch diversion structure to accommodate a 3.3 CFS flow and constructing a new diversion at Simon Wetlands with a 0.5 CFS capacity, both incorporating functional flow measurement devices to ensure compliance with state water rights regulations. All work must occur at the project site located approximately five miles northeast of Cortez in Montezuma County, Colorado, with administrative oversight by the Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Regional Office in Salt Lake City, Utah. No competitive evaluation factors were applied, and no detailed cost data, contract value, or pricing structure is provided. The contract does not specify packaging, inspection criteria, invoicing methods, payment details, or accounting lines. While SAM registration is required, no CAGE code or UEI is listed, and no COR/COTR is identified, with Tyler Spencer serving as the sole point of contact. Submission of proposals was to be conducted via direct email without a formal deadline, and no standard construction or engineering specifications such as ASTM or USBR standards were cited, though the work is implied to meet general federal procurement integrity requirements under FAR and DIAR. No attachments, options, security requirements, or conflict of interest clauses are included in the available documentation.
