Water Service Line Field Investigations

The City of Raleigh is seeking a firm to provide professional services for identifying and documenting water service line material on both the public and private portions of the service line. This effort supports Raleigh Water’s compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) and other applicable state and federal requirements. The goal of this project is to perform field verifications of service line material at approximately 5,000 designated locations and to record those results in the City’s asset management and GIS system. Key tasks include project management, records review, field investigation, and data management. • The project requires the selected consultant to investigate, identify, and document the materials of water service lines. • The consultant will need to verify material composition of service lines where directed and deliver regulatory-compliant data formats. • The project involves field verifications, which may require subsurface verification methods such as vacuum excavation or keyhole coring. • The consultant must provide a project schedule with milestones and deliverables and participate in regular progress meetings with Raleigh Water staff. • The consultant will be required to submit monthly progress reports, including budget status.
