Project Description

Bid Number:	N/A
Bid Title:	Request for Specialty Waterline Utility Locating Services
Category:	Construction and Design Services
Status:	Open

Description: The City of Montrose is requesting proposals for consultants or vendors to perform specialized waterline utility locating services.  The City owns and operates approximately 3,000 LF of 16 inch asbestos cement waterline extending down East Main Street (US Hwy 50 with approximately 10,000 vehicles per day) between San Juan and Hillcrest Avenues.  The line was constructed in the mid 70's without any tracing wire or valves.  Conventional locating methods such as service tracing, mainline tracing, and standard ground penetrating radar have been unable to locate the line with any degree of certainty.  The line is estimated to be at 5 to 6 feet of bury under the following soil profile: 10" asphalt, 2' road base, and moist/saturated adobe clay (sandy silt with clay). The City is looking to determine if other specialty locating technologies would viable in this application to locate the waterline (for example, acoustic technologies, line pulse creation, specialized ground penetrating radar, etc).  Interested parties may contact City Engineer Scott Murphy at (970) 901-1792 or by email at For security reasons, you must enable JavaScript to view this E-mail address. .  This is an informal request for proposals: at this stage we are interested in understanding what technologies may exist and working with potential vendors to evaluate options for locating.  There is no formal submission date, proposals may be provided at any time throughout the process.
