SCOPE OF WORK
CITY OF DENTON - HICKORY CREEK
A Mobilization and Project Administration
Upon receipt of a Not1ce to Proceed, ADS will schedule field personnel, mobilize the
project team and attend a formal project kick-off meeting with the CITY This meeting
will establish the lines of communication and provide input regarding historical
information as it relates to the current project scope Preliminary information to be
obtained may include, but not be limited to, reports of previous studies, collection
system maps, historical water usage, and treatment plant records Previous reports will
be reviewed to provide a better understanding of historical conditions in the wastewater
collection system
Project review meetings will be scheduled periodically during the course of the project
Project tasks completed to date as well as proposed schedules for future tasks will be
discussed General questions and concerns for future work tasks will also be
addressed
The ADS field staff will have weekly meetings A total of two presentations to City staff
and the PUB or City Council will be given by ADS
B Above Ground Reconnaissance and Map Update
This data will supply background base data to be used during the collection system
analysis Field crews will perform above ground visual inspections of each manhole
and access structure in the study area Distances between manholes will be field
measured, when possible, and compared to the maps The manholes will be inspected
with the use of a strong artificial light or reflected sunlight The CITY will provide
reasonable assistance where required
The following data to be recorded will include, but not be limited to
- Length between manholes
- Identification of each manhole
- Identification of covered or unlocated manholes
- Identification of visible sources of extraneous flow
- Notation of unusual conditions that may require immediate attention
- Confirmation of flow direction
Where discrepancies are encountered between the field and existing maps, the field
blue line maps will be updated to reflect the system geometry Any Imes observed in
the field, but not shown on the map will be traced and presented on the CITY's map
drawings The result of the above ground inspection will be an updated inventory of
that portion of the collection system inspected, documentation of observed defects and
blue line map update
C Internal Manhole Inspections
This data will supply background base data to be used during the collection system
analysis Internal inspections of 100% of all manholes, approximately 1655, will be
conducted
PIPECAMTM will be utilized to provide televised inspection of the access structures In
the event that televised inspection is not possible, the access structure will be entered
and inspected Should a confined space entry be necessary, industry standard OSHA,
NIOSH, OSDA and NASSCO confined space entry policies and practices will be
followed to ensure safe entry and egress of all access structures In the event of
conflicting requirements, OSHA standards will prevail Violations of these procedures
will subject ADS to a first time warning by the CITY and possible termination of the
contract for any violations thereafter
All manhole components (i e , cover, frame, frame seal, chimney, corbel, wall, etc ) will
be inspected and recorded on standard field inspection forms Pipe diameter
measurements will be rounded to the nearest industry standard pipe diameter (i e , a
measurement of 7 75" will be recorded as S 0") The rim -to -invert measurements, in
tenths of feet, and general orientation for all connecting Imes will be recorded
Photographic images will be captured of the general surroundings of each manhole and
selected defects
The following data will be recorded on computer forms for each manhole inspected
• Manhole identification (maintenance numbers)
• Construction materials and conditions of covers, rings, walls, aprons, etc
• Manhole depth and opening size
• Number and size of holes in manhole cover
• Identification of infiltration sources
• Evidence of leaks and location
• Level of high water mark in the manhole
• Type and depth of debris
• Special problems and conditions, such as inflow, overflows, bypasses,
manholes located in natural pondmg areas, etc
• Size, type and depth of pipe
• Evidence of root intrusion
2
• Condition of pipe connection at manhole (i e , dropped joints, cracks or other
obvious defects)
• Dishes (pans) installed
• Adjustable metal grade rings
Visual inspections will be conducted on all incoming and outgoing pipes of the
manholes inspected This inspection will also include private service laterals that enter
into the access structure Photographic images will be captured of line segments from
inside the access structure, showing cracked pipe, offset joints greater than 1", partially
or fully collapsed pipe, or obstructions such as roots, debris, or grease Data will be
recorded on standard ADS field inspection forms
A minimum of 20 minutes will be spent in locating manholes in order for the inspections
to be counted for payment A list of 'could -not -locate" or "inaccessible" access
structures will be submitted to the CITY Once the CITY has located and provided
access to these structures, ADS will complete all necessary inspections at no additional
cost prior to the completion of field activities For structures located and access
provided after completion of field services, a remobdization charge will be assessed All
new access structures located will be properly identified on sewer maps and provided to
the CITY
During all phases of this project traffic control procedures will be used as required for
public safety Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum
D Smoke Testing
This portion of the field investigation will identify those sections of the collection system
which have structural defects and experience inflow during periods of rainfall ADS will
conduct smoke testing in the study area which consists of approximately 496,000 linear
feet (I f )
Smoke testing will be accomplished utilizing the ADS Laser Smoke Testing System
Utilizing a Laser Rangefinder and a Right Angle Prism, ADS will be able to pinpoint
defect locations Distances between manholes from which the City will calculate smoke
testing payment will also be measured with the Laser Rangefinder
Testing will be accomplished by a two -person crew using a single 4,000 cfm blower
and consecutive three -minute non -toxic smoke bombs Smoke testing will be limited to
not more than four (4) line segments or 600 linear feet, whichever is less, per setup
except where access dictates different setup procedures ADS standard field forms will
be utilized to record all defect data For all defects, measurements will be made from
the upstream manhole to the defect Digital photographs will be captured of each 1/1
defect All smoke problems will be quantified by giving consideration to the surrounding
area contributing to the problem, and the size and density of smoke encountered
3
ADS will keep the CITY informed during all smoke testing procedures and will notify the
residents by distributing door hangers between 24 and 72 hours prior to commencing
the smoke testing activities in each area Additionally, ADS will notify by fax, the local
fire department and CITY staff each day prior to commencing the tests ADS/CITY will
jointly respond to all telephone calls by building owners or occupants during all active
phases of smoke testing ADS/CITY will jointly document all follow-up meetings with
property owners or occupants who reported entrance of smoke into their property
Any missing clean -out caps will be replaced during the smoke testing activity Clean -
out caps will be provided by the CITY prior to initiating smoke testing activities
Location of missing and replaced clean -out caps will be documented on the field forms
E Source Defect Analysts
Each defect identified during the field testing will be quantified by taking into
consideration the type of defect and tributary area All defects observed and recorded
during the field work phase of the project will be accumulated and entered into the GBA
Master Series data management software Each defect will then be prioritized based
on its repair cost and the potential quantity of 1/1 removed
All defects and physical data collected during the field inspection phase will be
inventoried, analyzed, and prioritized Various output reports include a summary of all
field activities, priority ranking, cost-efficient priority ranking, and recommended
improvement methods and costs The analysis involves the following activities
1 Recording the magnitude (severity) of each defect identified
2 Developing an estimated cost to rehabilitate each defect
3 Comparing the magnitude of the defect vs the cost of rehabilitation
A rehabilitation method and estimated cost of repair for each defect will be identified
Each defect will receive either a potential 1/1 estimate of the magnitude of the defect or it
will be identified as a structural defect which may not contribute 1/1 but will affect the
integrity of the system As a result of the source defect analysis, the following will be
provided
• Manhole priority ranking
• Line priority ranking
• CCTV recommendations
F Additional Special Services
In locations where defects are located on private laterals, a defect notification letter and
a map approved by the CITY will be forwarded to the residents notifying them of the
