Water Meter Accuracy Audit & Unaccounted-for Water Analysis

The Town of Boone is seeking a subcontractor to perform a comprehensive engineering study focused on evaluating the accuracy of water meters and analyzing unaccounted-for water within its distribution system. The scope of work requires extensive data collection, field testing of meters, and the application of reconciliation modeling to determine discrepancies between water supplied and water billed. The goal is to quantify losses, identify the root causes of inaccuracies, and provide actionable recommendations for corrective measures that improve system efficiency and revenue assurance. This effort is critical for enhancing operational transparency and water resource management. The study must be conducted in accordance with industry best practices for water loss control and meter calibration, utilizing validated methodologies to ensure reliable results. All findings must be documented and presented with clear technical guidance on implementation of fixes, which may include meter replacement, leak detection improvements, or system integrity upgrades. The solicitation is open for responses until August 14, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code 541330 for engineering services. The performance location is within the Town of Boone, North Carolina, and the contract is structured as a subcontract under the state’s procurement framework.
