Central Water Integration Pipeline (CWIP) Condition Assessment RFP

Description: The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to perform water main condition assessment services using non-destructive, free-swimming, near-field electromagnetic (EM) testing technologies at two project locations totaling 4.9 miles of 30"-36" AWWA C-301 prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) and ductile iron pipe for the Central Water Integration Pipeline (CWIP). The condition assessment will identify structural deficiencies, wire breaks, failure risk, and the current condition of the pipe to aid SAWS in repair and replacement planning, and will also include in-pipe acoustic-based leak detection. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. CDT on Friday, August 21, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for August 4, 2026.
