Army - Underground Utilities Locator - MRAS

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Army, is conducting market research to gather information on capabilities related to locating underground utility services at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the efficient and safe management of infrastructure within these military installations. The GSA aims to identify potential contractors who can provide specialized services in detecting and mapping utilities such as water, gas, electric, and telecommunications lines that are buried beneath these sites.

The work requested involves comprehensive utility location services that include the use of advanced detection technologies and methodologies. Contractors will be expected to accurately locate underground utilities to prevent damage during construction or maintenance activities. This task requires proficiency in using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic location equipment, and other relevant tools to ensure precise mapping of subsurface utilities. Additionally, the selected contractor must have experience working within military environments and adhere to specific security protocols required by the Army.

By conducting this market research through a Request for Information (RFI), the GSA seeks to understand current industry capabilities and gather feedback from potential vendors on how best to meet the Army's requirements for utility location services. This information will be instrumental in shaping future solicitations and ensuring that all necessary aspects of utility management are effectively addressed at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.
