Murrumbidgee Irrigation (Ml) operates irrigation and drainage arrangements for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) in New South Wales, providing water to numerous landholders in that area. The MIA region is currently undergoing an expansion into a wider range of agricultural farming methods, technologies & products that requires efficient water distribution.

This project will progress the modernisation of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area through the replacement of aging channels with pipelines. These works will improve water delivery efficiencies and increase delivery performance to meet industry demands, enable regional agribusinesses to maximise their potential for sustainable production, invest in regional communities through local opportunities and deliver water for the environment. These works will contribute to a resilient community that is well-adapted and able to reside, and thrive, in a water-constrained future.

The MIUCP program is currently valued at $62 million, including material supply. Project delivery (Construction) activities are scheduled to begin each March and are expected to conclude by November of the same year. The work will be issued as contract packages, predominately using contract forms that comply with Australian Standards.

MI invites companies or joint ventures with significant civil construction expertise and capabilities to submit an Expression of Interest for prequalification and shortlisting. Extensive experience in pipeline projects and construction delivery is required, with a strong preference for experience within the irrigation sector.

Key Project Quantities are listed below:

1. Laterals (Pipelines and Channels) — approximately 50km

2. Outlets and Escapes associated with the Laterals — approximately 703

Shortlisted companies will be invited to submit tenders for works packages associated with the MIUCP during the year 2025.

Each contractor must complete a checklist and include it with their response to this EOI. Please contact us for a copy of the checklist.
