Water System Leak Detection Services

The Town of Morrison, Colorado is requesting proposals for comprehensive acoustic leak detection surveys of its water distribution system, with proposals due August 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. MST and a pre-proposal meeting on August 4, 2026.

The scope encompasses approximately 40,000 linear feet of pipe ranging from 2 inches to 16 inches in diameter, composed of cast iron, ductile iron, galvanized steel, and PVC. The contractor must identify, quantify, and precisely locate active leaks in water mains, service connections, valves, and fire hydrants using electronic leak correlators and acoustic listening devices. Field teams must maintain two-person crews. The contractor furnishes all labor, equipment, and tools and must submit daily progress reports, weekly summaries, and a comprehensive final report within thirty working days of fieldwork completion. Deliverables include a detailed work plan, GIS data, and the final report. Proposers must obtain right-of-way permits and traffic control plan approvals; Morrison waives its own permit fees, but the contractor bears all CDOT permit costs.

Proposals must not exceed ten pages and must address experience, approach, and pricing with separate line items for the final report, GIS deliverables, mobilization fees, and a firm fixed price for total system analysis. Evaluation criteria are experience, approach, and pricing; the Town reserves the right to conduct interviews and request clarifications prior to contract execution.

The contractor must provide a Certificate of Good Standing from the Colorado Secretary of State and cannot be debarred from federal contracts. Questions are due August 7, 2026. No site walks will be offered. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS). The Town anticipates award in late August 2026 with contract execution in mid-September 2026.
