Ground Penetrating Radar Services (GPRS)

Charlotte County Public Schools is issuing a sources-sought Request for Information under solicitation number 2627-66MR to gather technical data for future Ground Penetrating Radar Services (GPRS). The primary objective is to structure a formal solicitation for K-12 campus utility mapping and structural scanning, including concrete scanning. The district is seeking information regarding the use of non-destructive testing equipment such as high-frequency and low-frequency GPR, electromagnetic pipe locators, and ground magnetometers. Key technical inquiries focus on alignment with ASCE 38-22 standards and the provision of Quality Levels QL-A through QL-D, with deliverables potentially including physical markings, digital PDFs, and AutoCAD or GIS maps. Because this is strictly an information-gathering phase, respondents are explicitly prohibited from submitting pricing or rates. The district is evaluating vendor capabilities regarding personnel certifications such as NASSCO, OSHA 10/30, and ASNT Level II, as well as the ability to comply with the Jessica Lunsford Act for background checks on active school grounds. Interested parties must submit their responses, a completed Bid Submission Form, and a signed copy of Addendum No. 1 via the Beacon e-bid platform by October 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Primary contact for this effort is Michael Robishaw in the Purchasing Department.
