Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a Sources Sought (Market Survey) to identify qualified contractors for Geothermal System Leak Detection at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site in St. Louis, MO. This market research aims to determine industry interest and capability for an upcoming project. Responses are due February 27, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project involves detecting a leak within the geothermal heating and cooling system. The leak volume is approximately 40 gallons per day, isolated to one of five system laterals, which is currently disabled. The leak may be within the 80-yard lateral or one of the five vertical bores. All system components (laterals, vertical bore heads, interfaces) are located at least 5 feet below ground. Individual bores cannot be isolated. The leak detection method must be non-invasive, with helium leak detection recommended.
