Project Management

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pima-Maricopa Irrigation Project (P-MIP) is authorized to construct all irrigation systems for the Community and, when completed, will serve up to 146,330 acres of land. The function of Project Management is to set the overall goals of the project and coordinate all project activities and interactions with outside agencies. Project Management identifies and sets budgets and monitors all expenditures and oversees six management functions, including Accounting and Budget; Design, Construction & Engineering; Management Information Systems; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance; Office Services; and Project Coordination. Each of these functions is responsible for accomplishing tasks leading to the common goal of constructing the irrigation delivery system.
