Acoustic Leak Detection Surveying (Metallic Mains – Urban Streets)

The contract requires the performance of acoustic-based leak detection surveys on metallic water mains located within urban streets, utilizing ground microphones and correlation equipment to identify leaks with precision. The work involves systematic surveying of water infrastructure to detect and pinpoint leakage locations, followed by accurate marking of these sites on-site for future repair activities. Detailed technical reports must be generated for each survey, including diagrams that visually represent the surveyed area and the identified leaks, along with priority ratings that indicate the urgency and severity of each detected issue. The task demands technical expertise in acoustics and water system infrastructure, as well as the ability to operate sensitive detection equipment in noisy, high-traffic urban environments. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380 and is issued by the Massachusetts COSPD - Purchasing office with a place of performance specified at Washington Street in Salem, zip code 01970. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2026, and responses are due by July 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
