About this file
This document is a Sole Source Letter from Echologics to the Sunrise Water Authority (SWA) regarding the LeakFinderST leak detection equipment. Echologics asserts that the LeakFinderST is covered by a US patent and has unique features, including the ability to correlate leaks on PVC pipes, find quieter leaks, come with two sensor types, store leak sound files for re-correlation, generate automatic reports, and have a low cost of ownership.
The related state and local contract opportunity indicates that SWA intends to award a sole source contract to Echologics, through their approved channel partner Consolidated Supply Co., for the acquisition of one LeakFinder System Complete with Training at a cost not to exceed $32,000. SWA is seeking a sole source exemption due to the continued use of proprietary equipment and services from the specific supplier.

RE: Echologics LeakFinderST Leak Detection Equipment Exclusive Features

Sunrise Water Authority 10602 SE 129th, Ave., Happy Valley, OR 97086
This letter is to certify that LeakFinderST is covered by US Patent 9,528,903. As a result of this patent and other innovations, our water leak noise correlator is the only one that has the following combination of features and capabilities:
• Ability to correlate leaks on PVC pipe (through its unique advanced signal processing and sensors designed for PVC and similar pipes).
• Ability to find quieter leaks through our enhanced correlation algorithms.
• Only system to offer two sets of sensors standard in base model – high frequency accelerometers and low frequency geophone sensors.
• Storage of leaks sound files for on demand re-correlation. This enables the correlation to be redone in case the site conditions i.e. type of pipes or distances are not available during the time of measurement or for some reason have to be changed. Retesting at site is not required.
• The stored file can be emailed to Echologics customer support for expert analysis and help.
• Automatic report generation (it is a record and documentary evidence of the test done, data obtained).
• Minimum custom hardware to minimize the cost of purchase and maintenance. This system has one of the lowest costs of ownership.
• A service turnaround time and/or downtime guarantee of 48 hours with our replacement system options.
• User friendly interface that allows operators to be up and running with the correlator with just a couple of hours of training.
We are the manufacturers of the equipment and the price charged is the standard price asked for and obtained from other municipalities and water utility operators either directly or through our approved channel partners. The price is dependent on the options selected. They are ex-factory prices, freight and taxes are based on actual.
Regards, Asha Budhlall Product Manager – Leak Detection
