The Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, is contemplating a project for the removal of debris and sediment within the Main Outlet Drain Extension (MODE) below the historic Prison Hill area siphon in Yuma. Arizona. The Prison Hill Siphon is a 3,050-foot long, 10-foot diameter, reinforced concrete-lined pipe, single barrel siphon.

Briefly, the work includes but is not limited to the following (see attached draft PWS): a. The siphon is 50% plugged in the first 100 feet of the tunnel, with debris and sediment limiting movement to no further than 1,000 feet, before reaching debris dams (trash and sediment blockages). b.
