Water Leak Detection – Assessment, Reporting, Repair Support, and Emergency Response

Mt. San Antonio College is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive Water Leak Detection services through an on-call installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency response contract spanning September 2025 through August 2030. The project requires contractors to perform leak detection and assessment using advanced non-invasive technologies such as acoustic sensors, infrared thermography, and ground-penetrating radar across multiple water systems including potable water lines, irrigation systems, HVAC/R water lines, sewer lines, and building envelopes. Contractors must provide 24/7 emergency response with a mandatory 2-hour response time for leak assessment and mitigation. The evaluation process will be a three-stage assessment allocating 100 points across six criteria: proposal completeness (10 points), proposer experience (30 points), references (10 points), staffing and organization (10 points), proposed fees (25 points), and professional licenses and permits (15 points). Key submission dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on June 26, 2025, proposal submission deadline of July 30, 2025, and potential contractor interviews scheduled for August 13, 2025.

The contract will be awarded on an as-needed basis, with the district reserving the right to distribute requirements among multiple consultants and no guaranteed minimum work volume. Contractors must possess comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and professional liability insurance. Strict labor compliance requirements mandate DIR (Department of Industrial Relations) registration, prevailing wage adherence, and potential apprenticeship employment. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, contractors must comply with detailed labor standards, including California Labor Code provisions and potential penalties for non-compliance. The contract includes provisions for annual termination at the district's discretion and requires contractors to maintain proper permits, licenses, and certifications. Though a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the contract framework suggests a potentially significant multi-year engagement for water infrastructure management and emergency response services within the Mt. San Antonio Community College District.
