Acoustic Leak Detection Surveying (Metallic Mains – Cross-Country Areas)

The contract requires the deployment of mobile acoustic sensors to detect leaks in metallic water mains across rural and cross-country areas, leveraging GPS mapping and GIS reporting for precise location documentation and analysis. The scope includes comprehensive surveying efforts to identify and pinpoint water loss in infrastructure that is difficult to access, with an emphasis on accuracy and reliability in non-urban environments. Survey teams must ensure all findings are systematically recorded and mapped using geospatial technologies to support informed decision-making and resource allocation. Following initial detection and subsequent repairs, the contractor is responsible for conducting re-surveys to verify that the repairs have effectively resolved the identified leaks. This validation step is critical to ensuring long-term system integrity and minimizing repeat failures. The work is to be performed under a subcontract arrangement with a response deadline of July 9, 2026, and the primary place of performance is associated with Washington Street in Salem, Massachusetts. The NAICS code 541380 indicates this is a professional, scientific, and technical services contract focused on engineering and surveying activities.
