Underground Utility Mapping and Locating

The contract calls for subsurface utility engineering services to accurately identify and map underground utilities including potable water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer lines using ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic locating, and potholing techniques. The work is scheduled to take place in Menlo Park, California, with a zip code of 94025, and must be performed in accordance with industry best practices to ensure precise utility location and minimize risk to existing infrastructure. All tasks must be completed within the specified timeframe, with proposals due by May 9, 2026, and the contract is designated as a subcontract under NAICS code 541370, which corresponds to engineering services. The contracting entity is the Department of Energy through its contractor at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and while no specific set aside or small business designation is indicated, the work is part of a larger federal initiative requiring strict technical compliance. Contractors must be experienced in non-destructive subsurface mapping methods and able to deliver detailed utility maps that support downstream construction or maintenance activities. Performance is expected to meet or exceed safety, accuracy, and documentation standards typical for federally funded infrastructure projects in urban environments.
