STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a seventh lease amendment with North Richmond Properties, Inc., in an amount not to exceed
$33,726.48, for a month-to-month for a one-year term,
for the rental of two office trailers and space to store containers and landscaping equipment – Public Works

Page 2 of 2 ends

June 25, 2024
DISCUSSION:

In 2015, the Public Works Department leased storage space for equipment at 2801 Giant Road. The proximity to the Hilltop District, greatly improved the efficiency of the Parks & Landscaping Division reducing the travel time associated with transporting equipment from the Parks Yard on Leona Avenue to the Hilltop area, enabling City staff to spend more time in the field.

In April 2019, Parks Operations had to vacate the office trailer in the parking lot at Hilltop Mall. Parks Operations sought additional space and now occupy two office trailers at the storage yard at 2801 Giant Road. City staff is seeking approval to continue with the month-to-month lease agreement. The new monthly payment for this lease will be $2,810.54 per month, for the next fiscal year, which includes equipment storage space and two office trailers. This represents a 4 percent increase compared to the previous year. The expense will be paid from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Hilltop Maintenance District Operational Fund.

City staff recommends approval of seventh amendment lease agreement.

Boorman Park Remediation and Revitalization Projects;
and AUTHORIZE the Director of Public Works to approve

DISCUSSION:

Boorman Park is a 3.3-acre park in the Coronado Neighborhood at 2799 Maine Avenue.

The park has fallen into disrepair and needs rehabilitation. Revitalizing the community park will provide numerous benefits, including improved quality of life, increased property values, community pride, and economic development. In 2019, City staff worked to identify and apply for grant opportunities to aid in the redevelopment effort. 764

Projects
Boorman Park Remediation Project
The Boorman Park Remediation Project aims to address soil contamination within the park. The project involves a comprehensive approach that includes investigation and assessment of the contamination, development of a tailored remediation strategy, implementation of remediation methods, validation and monitoring of results, and restoration of the site for safe reuse. This project is expected to remove or reduce soil contaminants to safe levels successfully, comply with regulatory requirements, protect human health and the environment, and restore the site to a usable condition. The remediation project is funded by General Capital Funds and the California Department of Transportation Clean California Local (Clean CA) Grant (See Attachment 3).

Boorman Park Revitalization Project
The Boorman Park Revitalization Project includes various improvements such as parking, tree planting, a basketball court, skate park elements, seating areas, multiple play areas, fitness equipment, picnic tables, a restroom, and a grass field.

The renovations are funded by General Capital Funds and the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Prop 68 (Prop 68) Grant (See Attachment 2).

Schedule
The Remediation Project must be completed before the Revitalization Project. Ninyo and Moore Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consultants have served as designers for the Remediation Project, while CSW-Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group has served as designers for the Revitalization Project. Mack5 Consultants has served as project manager and construction manager for both projects. Currently, both projects are in the design phase, with a projected completion of July 2024. After the design phase, the project will move into the bid and award phase between August 2024 to September 2024. Construction will begin in October 2024, with an anticipated completion date of June 2025.

The Clean CA grant requires that the park be fully constructed by June 2025. The two projects may be bid out together or separately; however, in consultation with staff, the City Manager will determine the most efficient approach.

With the grant project deadline 12 months away and City Council set to recess, moving forward with the contracting process this summer is essential. Delaying the contracting process for the Boorman Park projects could result in missed grant deadlines, scheduling disruptions, and potential loss of funding.

Recommended Action
Staff requests City Council approval to authorize the City Manager to accept and award the construction bid(s) to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) for the Boorman Park Site Remediation and Revitalization Projects and authorizing the Director of Public Works to approve change orders up to 10 percent of the construction costs, provided the award and change orders remain within the Council-approved FY 2024- 2025 budget (See Attachment 1). This authorization will ensure that the projects progress as scheduled and meet all necessary deadlines, maintaining the project's funding and delivery schedule.

Boorman Park was redesigned by the community and will reconstruct an existing park and change the site layout for safety and ease of maintenance. The 7th Street project consists of a sidewalk and bicycle facility gap closure and the transformation of an unpaved alley. The remaining of the Clean Collaboratives include multiple projects concentrated in a cluster of underserved neighborhoods in the heart of the City of Richmond: Iron Triangle, Atchison Village, Richmore Village/Metro Square, Belding Woods, Cortez/Stege, Coronado, and Santa Fe. The programs will engage and uplift youth, individuals impacted by the social justice system, unhoused neighbors, and other residents through employment and volunteer service, dumpster days, clean-up and enhancement activities, outreach, and waste reduction education.

On January 31, 2022, City of Richmond staff submitted the application for the Richmond Communities Clean Collaborative. On May 17, 2022, the City was notified of the grant award. The project must be completed by June 30, 2024.

City staff is requesting City Council to approve the resolution to accept and appropriate the grant funds and adjust the FY2022-2023 revenues and expenditures by $5,000,000.

The project is a result of a collaboration in the grant application submittal with the City of Richmond and Richmond Main Street Initiative, Rebuilding Together East Bay-North, and Earth Island Institute (KIDS for the BAY Project). All consultants collaborated with the City and community to create the program, budget and timeline for the State awarded concept design of the Richmond Communities Clean Collaborative project.

June 25, 2024
DISCUSSION:

The Department of Public Works contract with Security Signal Devices, Inc. for intrusion and fire alarm maintenance and monitoring services expired November 15, 2022 (See Attachment 2). The City contracts for intrusion and fire alarm maintenance and monitoring services at all City buildings. On October 6, 2022, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for these services was solicited via Bids Online (See Attachment 4). Fivehundred fifty (550) vendors were notified of this posting (See Attachment 5). On November 8, 2022, three proposals were received and evaluated.

On March 21, 2023, Richmond City Council approved a contract with Security Signal Devices, Inc. to provide intrusion and fire alarm maintenance and monitoring services at all City buildings. However, Security Signal Devices, Inc. declined to accept the City’s contract terms and conditions.

City staff recommended approval of a contract with First Alarm, Inc., the second highest rank. The contract was awarded by the City Council on June 20, 2023.

Security Signal Devices, Inc. continued to provide intrusion and fire alarm maintenance and monitoring services to the City through September 30, 2023, without a contract in place. The City satisfied a purchase order in the amount of $10,000 for services performed from November 16, 2022, through September 30, 2023, however the total cost of services performed exceeded that amount by $6,314.70, for a total amount of $16,314.70. City staff therefore needs City Council approval of a contract, subject to the attached after-the-fact form, with an amount not to exceed $16,314.70 to pay the outstanding invoices from Security Signal Devices, Inc. for intrusion and fire alarm maintenance and monitoring services rendered from November 16, 2022, through October 1, 2023 (See Attachment 3).

After-The-Fact Purchase Authorization Form (as of June 15, 2011) Please attach this form to the requisition
If you previously initiated a transaction that created an after-the-fact supplier invoice, it must be processed via the `After-the-Fact (ATF) Purchase Authorization' Form.

An After-The-Fact purchase occurs when a department makes a purchase before a purchase order number is issued. For example, authorizing a vendor to begin work before the Purchasing Division issues a purchase order.

Similarly, obtaining goods or services on credit and subsequently submitting the invoice to accounts payable is an AFT. All ATFs, regardless of the dollar amount, present problems for the Purchasing Division, Accounts Payable, vendors, and end-users.

In many cases, these transactions:
* Place the City at financial and credit risk and result in higher than necessary cost paid for products and services. * Create unnecessary administrative efforts
* Bypass City encumbrance requirements
* Violate procurement polices and procedures
When an ATF purchase has been identified, the managing supervisor that made the unauthorized purchase shall complete this form.

Please provide detailed statement explaining the circumstances surrounding this ATF purchase.

What corrective steps have taken to avoid repetition of future ATF's? Any corrective action with the responsible managing supervisor?

The West County Agency (WCA) Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) Facilities Improvements project is a joint effort between the City of Richmond, WCW, Veolia Water and supported by various engineering design and construction consultants. The SBS Facilities remove chlorine from combined effluent discharged from both treatment plants prior to final discharge to San Francisco Bay. The facilities are located at the City's treatment plant in Point Richmond and while jointly owned, they are operated by the City of Richmond (Veolia).

Design began in mid-2020 and construction started in the second half of 2021. Costs for this project are split 65 percent and 35 percent between the City of Richmond and West County Wastewater District (WCW), respectively.

On July 27, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-21, authorizing a construction contract with Veolia Water with a subcontract to Myers & Sons Construction for the upgrade of the Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) Facility and Chlorine Building at the Richmond Wastewater Treatment Plant. The total authorized amount was $6,429,791, which included a 15 percent contingency. The project was to be partially funded through the 2019A Wastewater Bonds and Wastewater Enterprise Funds. This project was identified as a critical Capital Improvement Project necessary for improving the quality of the treated water flowing into the San Francisco Bay.

Many issues and challenges were uncovered which could not have been foreseen until starting construction and proceeded with the necessary field work. The facilities were generally in poor condition, drawings and information (much of it 40 years or older) the project was bid on were not always complete or accurate and there were certain conditions uncovered that were previously unknown.

During the course of the project, eight change orders totaling $1,457,740 were necessary to address unforeseen conditions and additional required work, bringing the total project cost to $7,096,210. These changes were critical to the successful completion of the project and were within the expected contingencies for projects of this complexity and scale.

Project costs are detailed as follows:

A. Construction Contract Amount $5,638,470
B. Approved Change Orders $1,457,740
C. Total Project Cost $7,096,210
D. Prior Amount Approved by City Council (Res. 97-21) $6,429,791 Amount Outstanding $ 666,419
It is now proposed that the City Council adopt the resolution and accept this project as complete and authorize the allocation of an additional $666,419 from the Wastewater 912

June 25, 2024
Enterprise Fund to cover the costs associated with the approved change orders. This allocation will enable the final payments to be made to Veolia Water and close out the project financially.

The project has been completed within the scope, quality standards, and compliance requirements set forth by the City of Richmond and has significantly improved the functionality and environmental compliance of the wastewater treatment facility.

Staff is requesting Council approval of the project and payment of the outstanding balance.

(5) PCO 018: There is an existing wooden shack at the Plant that contains critical effluent equipment. However, the structure is very old, worn out due to the age of the structure and needs to be replaced. The shack is also in the way of the activities related to the removal of the knife gate valve (referenced above). Since it is in poor condition and cannot be rehabilitated, Veolia and Carollo evaluated and determined that the shack should be replaced. Therefore, a new metal canopy needs to be purchased (see attached rendering). The critical equipment then needs to be removed and set aside safely. Once the old structure is demolished and the new structure is in place, the equipment needs to be reinstalled into the new structure. All of this activity must be performed without shutting down the analyzers, for maintaining permit compliance. This PCO also includes costs associated with lead paint mitigation of the existing confluence structure above ground piping (see attached for details). The cost of these confluence structural changes is $141,642.51. (6) PCO 019: Design Clarification #7 (DC 007) directed the Contractor to modify the location and brand of the discharge flowmeters on both the SBS and Sodium Hypochlorite (SHC) systems and also add air relief valves and fittings to the proposed skids. These modifications will ensure good, reliable and safe operations. The modifications have resulted in extra work cost of $17,439.83.
(7) PCO 20 (credit): For the contract specified high performance coatings submittal, the Contractor found a designer approved equivalent to the specified coating system through Redwood Painting. The associated savings from the original bid amount is a minor credit to the City of (-$1,461.10).

Veolia has reviewed all of these proposals and agrees with the cost and schedule impacts put forth. Therefore, this TA requests an additional $213,489.12 in change order work (including Veolia's 9% mark up) for a total authorization amount of $5,983,011.17. This amount is within the City Council authority amount of $6,429,791, per Resolution 97-21 (attached).

(4) PCO 024 - Chemical deliveries are critical to the Plant's treatment process. As a result of the new SBS facility being built, the access roads were impacted in a way that the delivery trucks were hampered from safely delivering the chemicals. In order to remedy the situation and provide sufficient room for the trucks to maneuver, Veolia asked Carollo to issue a design clarification. Per DC 009 and supplemental RFI 059 response, Carollo provided information and details to fashion a new access road between the new SBS Containment Area and the west side of the Sodium Hypochlorite (SHC) tank farm for safe chemical unloading. The proposed cost is $160,938.14 (see attached). Veolia has reviewed this proposal and determined it is reasonable. (5) PCO 025 – In order to monitor and record the water level in the confluence structure, Veolia and West County requested Carollo to issue a design clarification specifying the procurement and installation of a level sensor. The cost to procure, install and commission the new level sensor is $47,289.40. Additionally, the Contractor is requesting an 84-day time extension for the fabrication of the new level sensor. (6) PCO 027 - During the contract work in the disinfection building, a technical instrumentation problem was discovered between existing SHC storage tank control panel and the new SHC PLC. Per RFI 056, SCADA Subcontractor Calcon Systems updated the loop drawings for the remote tank I/O panel and the SHC panel drawings with an updated disinfection building network drawing, resulting in an updated overall site network drawing. Carollo responded to RFI 056 with information to install additional conduits and wiring in the disinfection building. This also resulted in the Contractor providing additional coring for Mike Brown Electric in the SHC Disinfection Room. $6,924.82.

Veolia has reviewed all of these requested changes and agrees with the cost and schedule impacts put forth. Therefore, this TA requests an 18-day time extension and an additional $259,888.04 in change order work (including Veolia's 9% markup) for a total authorization amount of $6,325,797.47. This amount is within the City Council authority amount of $6,429,791, per Resolution 97-21 (attached).

DISCUSSION:

Background
This project was urgently needed to fix an aging and leaky sanitary force main along Dornan Drive. The City was upgrading Ferry Point Pump Station to eventually accommodate potential development from Terminal 4 near Brickyard Cove.

Consequently, the upgrade would place the Dornan Drive force main under additional pressure potentially causing more sanitary sewer overflows. The goal was to complete the project before the Ferry Point Pump Station was operational in March 2024.

Several sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) have occurred on the force main sanitary sewer line on Dornan Road due to the line's age. The 2018 Baykeeper Settlement Agreement states that Richmond shall have no more than two (SSOs) from any two of the same sewer line segments or manhole/maintenance holes within any calendar year after December 31, 2024 (See Attachment 7). Additionally, the revised Sanitary Sewer System Waste Discharge Requirements (SSS-WDR) Executive Order WQ 2022-0103- DWQ prohibits any discharge from a sanitary sewer system, discharged directly or indirectly through a drainage conveyance system or other route, to waters of the State (See Attachment 8). To achieve this goal, the City must allocate annual capital funding to cover these mandated repairs' costs.

Solicitation
On June 9, 2023, the proposal for the Dornan Drive Sanitary Sewer Force Main Project was e-mailed by Veolia Water North America to the prospective bidders (See Attachment 2). On June 13, 2023, a mandatory walk-through was conducted with Veolia staff, and six participants attended. On July 6, 2023, five bids were received.

The bids received were as follows (in alphabetical order):

Contractor Contractor Bid Amount
JMB Construction, Inc. $3,157,288
Myers and Sons Construction, LLC $2,867,760
Ranger Pipelines, Inc. $2,549,710
Thompson Builders Corporation $3,329,334
W. R. Forde & Associates, Inc. $2,340,608
Bid analysis, conducted by City and Veolia staff, indicates that the lowest monetary bid is responsive and the bidder, W.R. Forde and Associates, Inc., is responsible. The bidder has the appropriate contractor’s license in active standing with the State of California and has completed similar projects for other public agencies. Questa Engineers also submitted an acceptable proposal for this project to provide compaction testing during construction.

Project Details and Considerations
Construction on a force main is more complex and complicated than working on a gravity-flow sanitary sewer line. The line is under constant pressure, and a bypass line must be installed. This can lead to complications based on Ferry Point pump station pump runs. Based on these unforeseen conditions that may be experienced in the field, the City is requesting a significant contingency amount of approximately 25 percent of the bid amount. This will allow the project to progress on time to meet the demands of the Baykeeper Settlement Agreement and remain in compliance with the State Waterboard’s Executive Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ, which prohibits untreated sanitary sewage to waters of the state.

Dornan Drive Force Main Sanitary Sewer Line project broke ground in September 2023, and with Council approval it is set to be completed by late fall of 2024. The total estimated cost of this project, as awarded to the low bidder, is as follows:

Conclusion and Council Action
The project was authorized to proceed due to the emergency nature of the improvements required to prevent further sanitary sewer overflows and ensure compliance with the Baykeeper Settlement Agreement and State Waterboard’s Executive Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ.

City staff is requesting City Council adopt the resolution emergency justification authorizing the Director of Public Works or his designee to issue task authorizations to Veolia for a total contract amount not to exceed $3,390,500 DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:

Settlement Agreement. Disputes as to the engineering feasibility of any proposed schedule for implementation of those additional capacity projects shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI below.

13. Richmond shall have no more than two (2) SSOs from any two of the same sewer line segments or manhole/maintenance holes within any calendar year after December 31, 2024.

14. The standards required by Paragraphs 11-13, above, are collectively referred to as “SSO Standards.”

15. For purposes of determining compliance with the SSO Reduction Performance Goals, the maximum number of SSOs per 100 miles of sewer line per calendar year can be averaged over the entire Collection System, and SSOs caused by storm events exceeding the Design Storm shall not be counted.

16. For purposes of initially calculating the SSO Reduction Performance Goals, the Parties assume Richmond currently has 197 miles of sewer line in its Collection System. For purposes of calculating the SSO Reduction Performance Goals, the total allowable SSOs for the year shall be rounded using standard rounding as follows: 16.1 through 16.4 is considered 16, and 16.5 through 16.9 is considered

17. For example, for the year 2027, using the current sewer line mileage of 197 for Richmond, Richmond would be allowed 10 SSOs [(1.97 x 5 = 9.85) (9.85 => 10)].

VIII. CAPACITY-RELATED ANALYSIS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

17. Within ninety (90) days of obtaining the data from the Flow Monitoring Program described in paragraph 17.a. herein, but in any case no later than July 15, 2019, Richmond shall complete an updated System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan (“Revised SECAP”), in accordance with the following requirements:
a. The Revised SECAP shall use flow monitoring data collected by Richmond during its Flow Monitoring Program. The Flow Monitoring Program shall collect data on a system-wide basis, so as to allow for analysis in the Revised SECAP of the impact of tidal inflow, dry-weather groundwater infiltration, and rain induced inflow and infiltration in the Collection System. Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Flow Monitoring Program shall also include data collection sufficient to analyze the hydraulic capacity of Richmond’s Collection System in the locations of capacity-related Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 14 of 126 1034

improvement projects contained, but not yet completed, in the 2011 Master Plan, as described in Paragraph 20 of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, including the projected impact of those completed capacity improvement projects. The Flow Monitoring Program shall consist of two separate actions.

First, by December 1, 2018, provided rainfall has occurred in the thirty (30) days prior to December 1, 2018, Richmond shall install temporary flow meters in the Collection System, as needed, to provide sufficient data to perform a hydraulic analysis that: (1) identifies all capacity deficiencies in the Collection System, including locations predicted by the hydraulic model to result in SSOs during the Design Storm, and (2) assesses the projected impacts on the hydraulic capacity of the Collection System from the completed capacity improvement projects from the 2011 Master Plan identified in Paragraph 20 below, tidal inflow, dry-weather groundwater infiltration, and rain induced inflow and infiltration on the Collection System. The data collected during the Flow Monitoring Program shall be used to update, calibrate, and validate Richmond’s current hydraulic model. If no rainfall has occurred in the thirty (30) days prior to December 1, 2018, Richmond shall instead install temporary flow meters in the Collection System after rainfall of one (1) inch or more has occurred in a 24-hour period.

Once installed, the temporary flow meters will remain installed through March 31, 2019. Second, when the following condition is present between December 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 or December 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024, Richmond will install temporary flow meters for a second time to obtain flow data for the 2024 SECAP described below: rainfall has occurred in the thirty (30) days prior to December 1, 2022 or December 1, 2023; or if no rainfall has occurred in the thirty (30) days prior to December 1, 2022 or December 1, 2023, rainfall of one (1) inch or more has occurred in a 24-hour period.
b. The Revised SECAP shall identify all measures needed to attain the capacity necessary to convey the Design Storm without capacity-related SSOs in Richmond’s Collection System. The Revised SECAP shall evaluate whether the MacDonald and Virginia, 1st Street Phase 1, and 1st Street Phase 2 projects described in Paragraph 20 herein (“Reevaluated Projects”), which were identified in the 2011 Master Plan, remain priority capacity projects or whether other projects identified while developing the Revised SECAP are higher priority. A higher priority project is determined by the reduction in the number of capacity-related SSOs the project is expected to result in, as reflected by Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 15 of 126 1035

Richmond’s SSO records and the hydraulic analysis described in Paragraph 17.a. c. The Revised SECAP shall include an implementation schedule to complete all measures needed to attain the capacity necessary to convey the Design Storm without capacity-related SSOs in the Collection System by July 15, 2026 or alternative date agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Paragraph 12.c. The implementation schedule shall incorporate the schedule set forth in Paragraph 20, unless a reprioritization of those projects is needed to assure a systematic program (e.g., to assure that downstream sewer lines are upsized prior to upstream lines). If Richmond believes reprioritization is necessary, Richmond shall set forth its justification in the Revised SECAP. In any case, Richmond shall complete all projects identified in Paragraph 20 by June 30, 2024. d. The Revised SECAP shall include a hydraulic analysis that includes calculation for all sewer lines and all pump stations of estimated dry weather wastewater flow, estimated peak wet weather wastewater flow under the Design Storm, and other storm event scenarios, and total wastewater flow capacity when flowing full. The hydraulic analysis will be based on the flow monitoring data collected by Richmond during its Flow Monitoring Program. The model used in the hydraulic analysis will be calibrated and validated to verify its accuracy in predicting flows in the Collection System using data collected through the Flow Monitoring Program. The hydraulic analysis shall be sufficient to identify all capacity improvements necessary to convey peak wet weather flows during the Design Storm to the wastewater treatment plant without capacity-related SSOs in the Collection System. Findings of the hydraulic analysis shall be presented on a GIS system map, where feasible, or other database.
e. To aid the hydraulic analysis, Richmond shall maintain an updated, accurate inventory of the Collection System in a GIS system map. The GIS system map shall include all Collection System attributes required for the hydraulic modeling and further shall include system attributes that will facilitate Collection System operation and maintenance. System attributes shall include the following:
sewer line diameters and lengths; sewer line slope; service area covered by line segment; sewer line year of construction, pipe material, inspection history, cleaning history, SSO history, repair history; conflicting utilities; proximity to storm sewer(s), in feet; whether a sewer line is located in a right of way or an easement; manhole locations, depth, lid size, manhole diameter, rim elevation, and invert Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 16 of 126 1036

18. Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the Revised SECAP and the associated GIS mapping on or before July 15, 2019. Plaintiffs shall have forty-five (45) days from receipt to comment on the Revised SECAP. Richmond shall incorporate Plaintiffs’ comments, or explain in writing why Plaintiffs’ comments were not accepted, within thirty (30) days of Richmond’s receipt of the comments. Disputes as to the adequacy of the Revised SECAP to eliminate all capacity-related spills on or before July 15, 2026 or alternative date agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to Paragraph

12.c. shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

19. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of completing the Revised SECAP, but no later than December 31, 2019, Richmond shall complete an update to the 2011 Master Plan incorporating the project list and schedule from the Revised SECAP (“Updated Master Plan”) and seek City Council approval of the Updated Master Plan. The project list in the Updated Master Plan shall include capacity-related improvement projects included in the 2011 Master Plan, provided still necessary and appropriate after the Revised SECAP has been performed, and all capacity-related improvement projects identified by the Revised SECAP.

20. At a minimum, Richmond shall fund and complete the following capacity-related capital improvement projects identified in the 2011 Master Plan on the following schedule:

Capacity-Related Capital Improvement Project Deadline
13th Street August 31, 2018
Cutting and Carlson December 31, 2019
Hoffman Blvd. December 31, 2019
MacDonald & Virginia June 30, 2021
1st Street Phase 1 June 30, 2023
1st Street Phase 2 June 30, 2024
If the Reevaluated Projects have been replaced by higher priority projects as described in Paragraph

17.b, Richmond shall fund and complete those higher priority projects by July 15, 2024, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing, after meeting and conferring, that a different schedule is warranted.

21. Beginning July 31, 2018 and on an ongoing bi-annual basis (i.e., on January 30 and July 31) for the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs with bi-annual Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 17 of 126 1037

reports regarding the design, funding, and construction status of all capacity-related capital improvement projects.

22. At least once every five (5) years from the date the Revised SECAP set forth in Paragraph 17 was completed, Richmond shall reevaluate and update the hydraulic analysis of the Collection System to reflect any changes in Collection System conditions, conditions or factors relevant to volumes of system rainfall-derived Infiltration and Inflow (“RDI/I”), dry weather infiltration, added service connections, or land-use patterns that would affect peak wet weather flows in the Collection System, the hydraulic capacity of the Collection System, and the ability of the Collection System to convey peak flows during the Design Storm without capacity-related SSOs. The 5-year update to the hydraulic analysis will rely upon data collected as part of a subsequent Flow Monitoring Program consistent with Paragraph 17.a., performed during the wet season prior to submission date of the 5-year update.

The 5-year update to the hydraulic analysis of Richmond’s Collection System will be consistent with the requirements in Paragraph 17 and shall assess the projected impact of completed capacity improvement projects from the Revised SECAP on the hydraulic capacity of the Collection System.

Richmond shall update the Revised SECAP by incorporating the updated hydraulic analysis. On or before October 15, 2024, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the updated 2024 SECAP. Plaintiffs shall have forty-five (45) days from receipt to comment on the updated 2024 SECAP. Richmond shall incorporate Plaintiffs’ comments or explain in writing why Plaintiffs’ comments were not accepted within thirty (30) days of Richmond’s receipt of the comments. Disputes as to the adequacy of the updated 2024 SECAP to achieve the SSO Standards required shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

IX. COLLECTION SYSTEM CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

24. Throughout the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall implement a Condition Assessment Program that employs a minimum ten (10) year CCTV re-inspection cycle for all gravity sewer lines and more frequent CCTV inspection of gravity sewer main line “hot spots” as mandated by the Sewer Line Condition Grading Matrix defect score for the sewer line in issue. Force main sewer lines shall be re-inspected on the cycle defined in Table 2-1: of Attachment E.

25. No later than March 31, 2018, Richmond shall complete an updated Risk Assessment Analysis (“2018 Risk Assessment Analysis”) for all gravity sewer main lines in the Collection System rated as Grades 4 and 5 pursuant to the Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (“PACP”).

26. On or before March 31, 2018, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis. Plaintiffs shall have forty-five (45) days from receipt to comment on the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis. Richmond shall incorporate Plaintiffs’ comments or explain in writing why Plaintiffs’ comments were not accepted within thirty (30) days of Richmond’s receipt of the comments. Disputes as to the adequacy of the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis to achieve the SSO Standards shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

27. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Plaintiffs’ comments on the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis, Richmond shall incorporate the results of the analysis into its Collection System Rehabilitation/Repair schedule, set out in Section X below.

28. By January 15, 2019, and annually thereafter, Richmond shall perform an updated Risk Assessment Analysis on all gravity sewer line segments in Richmond’s Collection System rated Grade 4 or 5 via the PACP process and update the Rehabilitation/Repair schedule based on its results.

X. REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND REHABILITATION

30. On or before April 30, 2018, Richmond shall fund and complete construction of the partially collapsed pipe located along South 23rd Street. Within ten (10) days of completion, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs written confirmation.

31. Within ten (10) years of the Effective Date of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall repair or replace approximately thirty-one miles of Grade 5 gravity sewer line, initially identified in the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis as follows:
a. 4.8 miles of PACP rated Grade 5 gravity sewer line will be repaired or replaced as part of the13th Street, Cutting and Carlson, Hoffman Blvd., and South 23rd Street projects described in Paragraphs 20 and 30 of this 2018 Settlement Agreement; b. 6.2 miles of PACP rated Grade 5 gravity sewer line will be repaired or replaced as part of the MacDonald & Virginia, 1st Street Phase 1, and 1st Street Phase 2 projects described in Paragraph 20 of this 2018 Settlement Agreement; and
c. At least 20 miles of PACP rated Grade 5 gravity sewer line will be repaired or replaced at an approximate rate of at least 2 miles of gravity sewer line per year, based on a rolling 5-year average. Compliance with this requirement will be assessed beginning on July 1, 2018 (so the first year is July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019). The specific Grade 5 gravity sewer lines identified in the 2018 Risk Assessment Analysis may change over time (some of the initial Grade 5 gravity sewer lines may be removed from the list because they are determined not to be Grade 5 after further investigation, and new Grade 5 gravity sewer lines may be added to future Risk Assessment Analyses due to continued aging of the Collection System); Richmond is compliant with this Paragraph if Richmond satisfies the mileage specified. Further, if Richmond achieves compliance with the SSO Reduction Performance Goals in Paragraph 11 of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, such attainment Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 20 of 126 1040

can be the basis for extending the deadline for repairing or replacing the remaining Grade 5 gravity sewer lines. The Parties shall meet and confer upon Richmond’s request, and Plaintiffs shall consider Richmond’s request in good faith.

32. During the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, on or before July 31 of each year, Richmond shall report to Plaintiffs, in electronic format, documenting the completion of the annually required repairs to Grade 5 sewer line segments.

XI. COLLECTION SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

33. On or before March 31, 2018, Richmond shall revise Veolia’s July 2013 Operations and Maintenance Plan (“2018 O&M Plan”) as follows:
a. Detail procedures used during cleaning for trapping debris, roots, and FOG and quantifying the amount of debris, roots, and FOG removed during cleaning, including but not limited to, identifying the debris trap type and standardized methodology used by Richmond during cleaning; b. Adhere to the specific cleaning frequencies and response actions in the Cleaning Frequency Response Matrix, attached hereto as Attachment D;
c. Require that cleaning of gravity sewer line segments by Richmond shall include use of a fixed hydro-flushing nozzle centering device (i.e., a nozzle skid) having a minimum of four (4) endpoints with a diameter within one (1) inch of the diameter of the gravity sewer line segment being cleaned to ensure the cleaning was effective. A gravity sewer line shall be considered adequately cleaned if the device passes through the entire sewer line segment, from manhole to manhole. If passage of the device from manhole to manhole in the gravity sewer line segment is restricted by conditions in the gravity sewer line segment, the gravity sewer line segment shall be inspected by CCTV to determine the cause of the restriction. Richmond shall maintain a list of all gravity sewer line segments where structural conditions do not permit the passage of the device and incorporate that information in its GIS map of the Collection System. Response to the findings on the structural condition of the sewer line segment from the post-proofing CCTV inspection shall be in accordance with Attachment B or D, as appropriate. If the inability of the device to pass results from insufficient cleaning, the gravity sewer line segment shall be re-cleaned until CCTV inspection confirms that the debris, root, or FOG accumulation has been removed from the sewer line segment. In addition, the Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 21 of 126 1041

gravity sewer line segment shall be assigned the appropriate cleaning rating as per the Cleaning Frequency Response Matrix, attached hereto as Attachment D; and, d. Detail the components of the cleaning Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of post-cleaning CCTV inspection of cleaned gravity sewer lines to ensure proper and complete cleaning of Richmond’s gravity sewers (“QA/QC inspection”) and a standardized response procedure when gravity sewer line segments fail the QA/QC inspection sufficient to address cleaning program inadequacies (i.e., identifying performance issues, providing training, increasing QA/QC inspection rates to ensure cleaning effectiveness). At least ten percent (10%) of gravity sewer segments cleaned each month shall be spot checked via CCTV inspection to ensure adequate cleaning.

A QA/QC inspection shall be considered a failure if FOG/Root/Debris accumulation are observed in the sewer segment after cleaning operations. Cleaning crews that are associated with failed QA/QC inspections shall be provided additional training in proper cleaning methods and shall be provided additional oversight in the form of increased QA/QC inspections of their cleaning operations to ensure proper and complete cleaning of Richmond’s sewers.

34. On or before March 31, 2018, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the 2018 O&M Plan. Plaintiffs shall have forty-five (45) days from receipt to comment on the 2018 O&M Plan.

Richmond shall incorporate Plaintiffs’ comments or explain in writing why Plaintiffs’ comments were not accepted, within thirty (30) days of Richmond’s receipt of the comments. Disputes as to the adequacy of the 2018 O&M Plan as an element of Richmond’s Collection System program described in this 2018 Settlement Agreement to achieve the SSO Standards shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

35. Sewer Line Cleaning: Richmond shall clean all gravity sewer lines in Richmond’s Collection System at least once every four (4) calendar years and clean designated gravity sewer line segments more frequently as warranted by its Hot Spot Cleaning Program attached hereto as Attachment C.

36. On or before March 31, 2018, and on or before July 15 for each year thereafter during the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall complete a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of the root foaming program to prevent root related SSOs in pipes where root foaming is performed (“Root Foaming Analysis”).

shall modify the root foaming program to include additional pipes with observed root intrusion problems or a history of root related SSOs, or transfer funds used for root foaming to other O&M activities (e.g., increased cleaning), as needed to meet the SSO Standards.

37. On or before March 31, 2018, and on or before July 15 for each year thereafter, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the Root Foaming Analysis, including recommended program changes. Plaintiffs shall have forty-five (45) days from receipt to comment on the Root Foaming Analysis. Richmond shall incorporate Plaintiffs’ comments or explain in writing why Plaintiffs’ comments were not accepted, within thirty (30) days of Richmond’s receipt of the comments. Disputes as to the adequacy of the Root Foaming Analysis as an element of Richmond’s Collection System program described in this 2018 Settlement Agreement to achieve the SSO Standards shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

38. On or before March 31, 2018, and on an ongoing basis thereafter during the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall complete an update to the Hot Spot Cleaning List to include cleaning frequencies adequate to reduce blockage related SSOs sufficient to achieve SSO Standards (e.g., bi-monthly, monthly), and adjust cleaning frequencies based on the Cleaning Frequency Response Matrix, attached hereto as Attachment D. Adjustments to cleaning frequencies, including but not limited to, cleaning observations of “Moderate” or “Heavy” debris, roots, or FOG will result in an increase in cleaning frequency to the next highest frequency (e.g., six (6) months to three (3) months).

Adjustments to cleaning frequencies, including but not limited to, a change in cleaning observation from “Moderate” or “Heavy” after three (3) consecutive cleanings to “Clear” will result in the cleaning frequency being reduced to the next lowest cleaning frequency (e.g., three (3) months to six (6) months). No reduction in cleaning frequency for a sewer line segment with a previous history of SSOs in the past five (5) calendar years shall occur without the approval of Richmond’s Water Resource Recovery Director, except where a sewer line segment has been repaired and/or replaced, in which case, the sewer line segment can be removed from the Hot Spot Cleaning List.

39. On or before March 31, 2018, and each year thereafter for the term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement, Richmond shall provide Plaintiffs, in electronic format, the updated Hot Spot Cleaning Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 23 of 126 1043

XVI. BREACH OF AGREEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

55. Force Majeure: Richmond shall notify Plaintiffs pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, where implementation of the requirements set forth in this 2018 Settlement Agreement, becomes impossible, despite the timely good-faith efforts of Richmond, due to circumstances beyond the control of Richmond or its agents, and which could not have been reasonably foreseen and prevented by the exercise of due diligence by Richmond. Any delays due to inadequate program funding, Richmond’s failure to make timely and bona fide applications and to exercise diligent efforts to obtain permits, or normal inclement weather shall not, in any event, be considered to be circumstances beyond Richmond’s control.
a. If Richmond claims impossibility, it shall notify Plaintiffs in writing within ten (10) days of the date that Richmond first knew of the event or circumstance or should have known of the event or Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 29 of 126 1049

circumstance by the exercise of due diligence and shall describe the reason for the non-performance.

Richmond’s notice shall specifically refer to this Paragraph of this 2018 Settlement Agreement and describe the anticipated length of time the delay may persist, the cause or causes of the delay, the measures taken or to be taken by Richmond to prevent or minimize the delay, the schedule by which the measures will be implemented, and the anticipated date of compliance. Richmond shall adopt all reasonable measures to avoid and minimize such delays.
b. The Parties shall meet and confer in good faith concerning the non-performance and, where the Parties concur that the non-performance was or is impossible, despite the timely good faith efforts of Richmond, due to circumstances beyond the control of Richmond that could not have been reasonably foreseen and prevented by the exercise of due diligence by Richmond, new performance requirements or deadlines shall be established.
c. If Plaintiffs disagree with Richmond’s notice, or in the event that the Parties cannot timely agree on the terms of new performance deadlines or requirements, either Party shall have the right to invoke the Formal Dispute Resolution process pursuant to Section XVI of this 2018 Settlement Agreement. In such proceeding, Richmond shall bear the burden of proving that any delay of any requirement of this 2018 Settlement Agreement was caused or will be caused by force majeure and the extent of any delay attributable to such circumstances.

56. Delays due to inadequate program funding, notwithstanding the good faith efforts of Richmond to secure funding, can be the basis for extending deadlines beyond the current term of this 2018 Settlement Agreement for any additional capacity-related project identified in the SECAP prepared pursuant to this 2018 Settlement Agreement. Richmond must notify Plaintiffs as soon as possible if it believes that a delay will occur due to inadequate program funding. In the notification, Richmond shall submit to Plaintiffs all documents showing its efforts to secure adequate program funding, shall explain how Richmond intends to secure adequate program funding, and propose an alternative deadline for compliance. Plaintiffs have the right to request, and Richmond shall provide, any documents related to Richmond’s notification. The Parties shall meet and confer within ten (10) days of Richmond’s notification, unless the Parties otherwise agree on a different schedule. Plaintiffs shall consider Richmond’s request in good faith but have no obligation to modify any requirement in this Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 30 of 126 1050

During the meet and confer proceeding, the Parties shall discuss the dispute and make best efforts to devise a mutually agreed upon plan, including implementation dates, to resolve the dispute. The Parties may, upon mutual written agreement, extend the time to conduct the meet and confer discussions beyond ten (10) days.
b. If any Party fails to meet and confer within the timeframes set forth in Paragraph 58.a. or the meet and confer does not resolve the dispute, after at least ten (10) days have passed after the meet and confer occurred or should have occurred, either party shall be entitled to initiate the Formal Dispute Resolution procedures as outlined in Paragraph 59 below.

59. Formal Dispute Resolution: The Parties agree that any action or proceeding which is brought by any Party against any other Party pertaining to, arising out of, or related to the requirements of this 2018 Settlement Agreement shall first utilize the Informal Dispute Resolution procedures set forth in the preceding Paragraph, and, if not successful, the Parties shall utilize the Formal Dispute Resolution proceedings in this Paragraph. The Parties agree that Formal Dispute Resolution shall be initiated by filing a Motion to Show Cause or other appropriately named motion (“Dispute Motion”) in District Court, before Judge Chesney, to determine whether either Party is in breach of this 2018 Settlement Agreement and, if so, to require the breaching Party to remedy any breach identified by the District Court within a reasonable time frame. The party filing any such Dispute Motion may request expedited review of the Dispute Motion. If Judge Chesney is not available to perform the role identified herein, the Parties agree that the Dispute Motion shall be re-assigned pursuant to applicable Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 31 of 126 1051

Sewer Line Condition Grading Matrix
Preface:

The Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (“PACP”) used by Richmond provides a mechanism for creating reliable descriptions of sewer line segment conditions. Richmond has also developed a system based on the PACP codes to assign a condition rating to sewer line segments. Requirements of the grading system were as follows:

1. The grading system should be direct and objective; and

2. Provide the ability to quantitatively measure the difference in sewer line segment between one inspection and subsequent inspections, and to prioritize among different sewer line segments.

Approach:

Using the PACP Code Matrix, each PACP defect code is assigned a condition grade from 1 to 5.

Grades are assigned based on potential for further deterioration or pipe failure. Pipe failure is defined as when the pipe can no longer convey the pipe design capacity.

Grades are assigned for two categories: (1) Structural Defects; and (2) Operating and Maintenance (“O&M”) Defects.

Grades are as follows:
5 – Immediate Attention Defects requiring immediate attention 4 - Poor Sever defects that will become Grade 5 defects within the foreseeable future
3 - Fair Moderate defects that will continue to deteriorate 2 - Good Defects that have not begun to deteriorate
1 - Excellent Minor defects
The mechanisms and rates of pipeline deterioration are highly dependent on local conditions.

However, the following general guidelines are provided to estimate the amount of time before the defect causes complete line failure.
5 – Pipe has failed or will likely fail within the next five (5) years 4 – Pipe will probably fail in five (5) to ten (10) years Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 41 of 126 1061
3 – Pipe may fail in ten (10) to twenty (20) years
2 – Pipe unlikely to fail for at least twenty (20) years 1 – Failure unlikely in the foreseeable future
Grading of Continuous Defects:

The PACP continuous defect feature is used to denote where long portions of a sewer line segment are affected by the same defect, without Richmond having to repetitively enter point defects. However, to develop a grade for the sewer line segment, a mechanism is needed to translate a continuous defect into an equivalent number of point defects. The equivalent number (i.e., quantity) of “truly” and “repeating” continuous defects is calculated by dividing the length of the continuous defect by 5. For example, a 20-foot long continuous defect, Grade 3, should equate to four (4) Grade 3 defects. Fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Pipe Ratings:

The pipe rating is based on the number of occurrences for each condition grade. Ratings are calculated separately for Structural Defects and O&M Defects. Several ways of expressing sewer line segment condition are used by the PACP Condition Grading System as follows:

Segment Grade Scores – Each sewer line segment will have a Segment Grade Score for each of the five (5) grades. The number of occurrences of each pipe grade is multiplied by the pipe grade to calculate the segment grade score. For example, six (6) Grade 5 defects would be 6 times 5 and equates to a Segment Grade 5 Score of 30. If a sewer line segment had no defects of a particular grade, then the Segment Grade Score for that grade would be 0.

Overall Pipe Rating – The five (5) Segment Grade Scores are added together to calculate the Overall Pipe Rating. Structural Pipe Ratings are calculated using only Structural Defect grades, while O&M Pipe Ratings are calculated using only O&M Defect grades.

PACP Quick Rating – The PACP Quick Rating is a shorthand way of expressing the number of occurrences for the two (2) highest severity grades. The PACP Quick Rating is a four character score as follows:

1. The first character is the highest severity grade occurring along the sewer line segment length.

2. The second character is the total number of occurrences of the highest severity grade. If the total number exceeds 9, then alphabetic characters are used as follows – 10 to 14 – A; 15 to 19 – B; 20 to 24 – C; etc.

3. The third character is the next highest severity grade occurring along the sewer line segment length.

4. The fourth character is the total number of the second highest severity grade occurrences, derived as in item 2 above.

Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 42 of 126 1062
Examples:
4B27: 15 to 19 Grade 4 defects and seven Grade 2 defects were found. 3224: 2 Grade 3 defects and 4 Grade 3 defects were found.

If a sewer line segment only has defects of one grade, the first two characters are the grade and the quantity of defects, and the last two characters are 00 (denoting no other defect grades). A sewer line segment with no defects would have a Quick Score of 0000 (all zeros).

The PACP Quick Rating provides the ability to summarize the number and severity of defects found within a sewer line segment. As with the Pipe Rating, Quick Structural Ratings are calculated using only Structural Defect Grades, and Quick O&M Ratings are calculated using only O&M Defect Grades.

Pipe Ratings Index – The is an indicator of the distribution of defect severity. The Pipe Ratings Index is calculated by dividing the Pipe Rating by the number of defects. For example, the Structural Pipe Ratings Index would be the Structural Pipe Rating divided by the number of structural defects. Pipe Ratings Indexes are calculated for Structural, O&M, and Overall. A sewer line segment with a Pipe Rating of zero (0) would have Pipe Rating Index of zero (0).

Summary:

The following procedures are used to calculate sewer line segment ratings using the PACP Condition Grading System:

1. Determine the number of occurrences for each condition grade within the sewer line segment. Calculate separately for Structural Defect Grades and O&M Defect Grades.

2. Calculate the Segment Grade Score by multiplying the number of occurrences by the respective grade 1 through 5. Calculate the Structural Segment Grade Score and the O&M Segment Grade Score separately, then add together for the Overall Segment Grade Score.

3. Calculate the Pipe Rating for the pipe segment by adding the Segment Grade Scores.

Add all five (5) Structural Segment Grade Scores for the O&M Pipe Rating. Add all five (5) Overall Segment Grade Scores for the Overall Pipe Rating.

4. Determine the PACP Quick Rating by calculating the number of occurrences of the two (2) highest severity grades.

5. Calculate the Pipe Ratings Index by dividing the Pipe Rating by the number of defects. If the sewer line segment has no defects, the Pipe Rating Index is zero (0).

Hot Spot Cleaning Program
Preface:

This document outlines the identification of, and management of the “Hot Spot” Cleaning Program for Richmond’s Collection System.
“Hot Spots” are defined as a specific sewer line segment, or section of sanitary sewer line that requires more frequent maintenance due to its O&M rating (i.e., amount of, severity, and frequency of buildup of grease, roots, settled deposits, mechanical or structure defect, or other materials that interferes with the normal operation of that line). By establishing a tailored, more aggressive cleaning frequency for these trouble spots, and monitoring the ongoing condition of these lines, Richmond can prevent SSOs and unwanted interruption in adequate service.

Identification and Management of Hot Spots:

Hot Spots are identified through three (3) primary mechanisms:

1. An SSO or backup;

2. Through observations and grading using the PACP Table during CCTV inspection; and !" Field observation during regular scheduled maintenance.

After a sewer line segment has been identified for more frequent cleaning and inspection through the Hot Spot Program, it will be evaluated using both the PACP grading system, intimate knowledge of the system from Field Operations, and a risk assessment to assign a cleaning frequency.

There are five (5) main levels, dependent on the O&M severity of the sewer line segment:

1. Bi-monthly (i.e., two (2) times per month);

2. Monthly;

3. Every three (3) months;

4. Every six (6) months; and

5. Every twelve (12) months.

Pipe segments receiving a PACP Maintenance Defect score of 4 or 5 will be cleaned within 30 days and placed in the Hot Spot Cleaning Program at a 6-month cleaning frequency.

Pipe segments receiving a PACP Maintenance Defect score of 3 will be cleaned within 120 days and placed in the Hot Spot Cleaning Program at a 12-month cleaning frequency.

When a sewer line segment is determined to be put on the Hot Spot list for more frequent cleaning and observation, it will remain on that list until its condition has been observed satisfactory (i.e., not in need of more frequent cleaning) during no less than three (3) consecutive inspections while on the Hot Spot Program.

Executive Summary
In 2007, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) finalized a research program entitled “Innovation and Research for Water Infrastructure for the 21st Century” that will generate the science and engineering knowledge needed to improve and evaluate innovative technologies to reduce the cost while improving the effectiveness of operation, maintenance, and replacement of aging and failing drinking water and wastewater treatment and conveyance systems (USEPA, 2007). Task Order 59, Condition Assessment of Wastewater Collection Systems, is one of several projects being conducted under this research initiative.

Overview
The objectives of Task Order 59 are to comprehensively review condition assessment technologies and to investigate condition assessment approaches for wastewater collection systems. Specific project objectives include:
x Identify and characterize the state of condition assessment technology for wastewater collection systems.
x Research and evaluate performance and cost of innovative and advanced infrastructure monitoring technologies including wireless and remote sensing approaches developed in other industries and their applicability to wastewater collection sewers. x Identify and evaluate innovative closed-circuit television (CCTV) technologies currently used by more advanced wastewater utilities for transfer to utilities at large. x Prepare protocols, metrics, and site selection criteria for field demonstration of selected innovative condition assessment technologies and decision-support systems.

This White Paper is one of the first work products created under Task Order 59 and was used as a basis for discussions at the project’s Technology Forum in September 2008. The White Paper summarizes the current state of condition assessment technologies, reviews mechanisms of pipe failure, discusses emerging and innovative technologies for sewer inspection, and presents a summary of the Technology Forum. It incorporates feedback received at the Technology Forum.

Condition Assessment
The primary components of any asset management program include the identification, location, and condition of assets. Condition assessment provides the critical information needed to assess the physical condition and functionality of a wastewater collection system, and to estimate remaining service life and asset value. After the field inspection, pipe defects are classified using a standard coding system and pipe condition is assessed using a systematic method to produce consistent, useful information. Following data analysis, condition assessment information is used to make estimates of a pipe’s remaining useful life and its long-term performance, and to make decisions about pipe rehabilitation, pipe replacement and/or further inspections.

Dynamics of Wastewater System Failure
In conducting condition assessment, it is important to understand the dynamics of pipe failure including the level, type, and severity of a failure mechanism. Failure can be a sudden, catastrophic collapse of a pipe, restricted hydraulic capacity, or a variety of other performance conditions that result in the inability of the pipe to perform as necessary for the minimum acceptable level of operation of the system. The purpose of condition assessment is to detect pipe defects which indicate the likelihood of pipe failure, as well as to assess the collection system’s performance. This section discusses the mechanisms of pipe failure, the various types of pipe defects, and the relationship between the condition of a pipe and its Page ES-1
Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 61 of 126 1081
performance. It is important to understand that the mechanisms and impacts of pipe failure are highly dependent upon the pipe material and type of sewer (i.e. force main, gravity line).

Inspection Technologies
There are a variety of technologies available for assessment of collection systems. These technologies, summarized in Table ES-1, include:
x CCTV is a well-established and common industry method used for inspecting pipes. It provides visual data on leaks, location of service laterals, and sediment and debris accumulation. The primary disadvantages to CCTV technology are that it only provides a view of the pipe surface above the waterline; it does not provide any structural data on the pipe wall integrity; and it does not provide a view of the soil envelope supporting the pipe.

For inspections of gravity lines, basic CCTV systems are not able to measure slope. There are needs for higher resolution cameras with better lighting; and improvements in crawler technology to better negotiate obstructions, grease, and off-set joints. The quality of defect identification and pipe condition assessment using CCTV is highly dependent on many factors including operator interpretation, picture quality, and flow level. Innovative camera technologies include zoom cameras, digital inspection, push cameras, and advances in crawler technology.
x Acoustic technologies use measuring devices to detect vibrations and/or sound waves. In pipeline assessment, acoustic sensors are used to detect signals emitted by defects. Three types of acoustic technologies are used for pipeline assessment: leak detectors, which are used to detect the acoustic signals emitted by pipeline leaks; acoustic monitoring systems, which are used to evaluate the condition of pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) by detecting the signals emitted by breaking pre-stressed wires; and sonar, or ultrasonic systems, which emit high frequency sound waves and measure their reflection in order to detect a variety of pipe defects.
x Electrical/Electromagnetic currents are the basis of several sewer evaluation techniques.

The electrical leak location method is used to detect leaks in surcharged non-ferrous pipes.

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) and Remote Field Eddy Current (RFEC) technology identify defects in ferrous pipes. Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inspection is widely used in the oil and gas industry to measure metal loss and detect cracks in ferrous pipelines. x Laser profiling uses a laser to create a line of light around the pipe wall, highlighting the shape of the sewer. This technique allows for the detection of changes to the pipe’s shape, which may be caused by deformation, corrosion, or siltation. Laser inspection can only be used to inspect the portions of a pipe wall that are above the water line. To assess the entire internal surface of a pipeline requires the pipe to be taken out of service. Lasers are often used in combination with other inspection methods, most commonly CCTV and/or sonar. x Innovative methods based on a variety of technologies are currently being developed for the evaluation of sewer collection systems. Gamma-gamma logging is a technique used primarily to evaluate cast-in-place concrete pilings and can provide information on the average bulk density of the concrete and the location of voids. Ground Penetrating Radar can detect underground voids, and is potentially useful for examination of pipe bedding and to locate leaks. Infrared Thermography involves the use of an infrared camera to measure the temperature differential across an object and is a potential method of detecting sewer defects such as leaks and voids. Micro-Deflection is a nondestructive technology used to evaluate general conditions and joint integrity of brick, concrete, and clay structures using a load to create a slight deformation or micro-deflection in the test material. Impact Echo and Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) are acoustic wave techniques for locating and measuring cracks, delaminations, voids, and honeycombing in concrete and masonry.

Summary of Technology Forum
A technology forum was held on September 11 and 12, 2008 in Edison, New Jersey to discuss the state of the science for condition assessment of wastewater collection systems and to identify critical gaps in current knowledge. A draft of the White Paper was distributed to participants in advance of the meeting and served as a basis for forum discussions. The objective of the forum was to present the findings of the research and obtain direction for additional research and further evaluation during the field demonstration tasks. The forum included discussions on data needs for conducting condition assessment and making asset management decisions; use of flow monitoring for asset management; systematic approaches to condition assessment; the importance of understanding the mechanisms of pipe failure; and tools and models available for conducting risk-based decision making related to wastewater assets.

Critical gaps in our knowledge of inspection technologies, and our ability to diagnose and predict infrastructure failures were identified at the Technology Forum and summarized below.

1. Research is needed to further define the costs and benefits of pipe inspection and rehabilitation as part of a utility’s condition assessment program. Methods of determining the impact of deteriorating collection systems on municipal budgets are needed.

2. Inspection technologies need to be identified for the following applications:
a. Reduce use of confined space entry during sewer system inspections and investigations. b. Affordable inspection technology that utilizes multi-sensor devices on a small transportable package.
c. Inspecting pipes below the waterline.
d. Inspecting force mains that are in service.
e. Inspecting laterals.

3. Data management methods and models are available, but a lack of data standardization makes it difficult to compare historical data collected with different inspection technologies that have proprietary data structures.

4. Research is needed to improve how asset condition is tracked over time. Geospatial information (with a high degree of accuracy) needs to be collected along with pipe condition data in order to link historical inspection data with an exact physical location.

Information transfer to practitioners was identified as a critical industry need. Practitioners need training on topics such as infrastructure failure mechanisms; using historical inspection data for condition assessment applications; applying the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) coding system to characterize pipe defects; developing a condition assessment program; and preparing accurate record drawings for new and rehabilitated pipe. In addition, practitioners need simple condition assessment tools (i.e. scattergraphs for analyzing flow data, decision trees, rules of thumb).

1.0 Overview of Task Order 59
In 2007, USEPA finalized a research program entitled “Innovation and Research for Water Infrastructure for the 21st Century” that is being implemented by the Office of Research and Development. It will generate the science and engineering knowledge needed to improve and evaluate innovative technologies to reduce the cost while improving the effectiveness of operation, maintenance, and replacement of aging and failing drinking water and wastewater treatment and conveyance systems (USEPA, 2007). Task Order 59, Condition Assessment of Wastewater Collection Systems, is one of several projects being conducted under this research initiative.

1.1 Project Background
In 2002, the USEPA Office of Water published a report entitled “Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Gap Analysis” (USEPA, 2002). The Gap Analysis report identified a critical shortfall in funding of the nation’s water and wastewater infrastructure including a $270 billion gap for wastewater infrastructure for the years 2000-2019. The deferred maintenance approach to operating and maintaining the nation’s aging wastewater infrastructure has become a paramount concern of the Agency.

Failing wastewater infrastructure can pose a significant threat to public health and the environment.

Wastewater infrastructure may include sanitary and combined sewer components, but this project is focused only on sanitary sewer systems. Systems with inadequate hydraulic capacity and/or blockages may lead to sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and may cause flooding damage to private property or release untreated sewage to receiving waters. Some of the health hazards associated with basement flooding by untreated wastewater include the potential presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoa.

USEPA and State regulators have taken legal action against utility districts for property damage and SSOs. For example, in 2005, a settlement of $300 million was reached with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission to implement a program to reduce occurrences of basement flooding. This joint settlement was reached among the utility district, USEPA, State of Maryland, and five local citizens groups. In 2004, Knoxville Utility Board reached a settlement with the State of Tennessee for a capital improvements program of $350 million to eliminate flooding due to hydraulic restrictions. In 2004, Hamilton, Ohio reached a settlement to implement a program to eliminate SSOs and basement flooding that was estimated to cost approximately $1.5 billion.

1.2 Purpose and Scope
The objectives of Task Order 59 are to comprehensively review condition assessment technologies and to investigate condition assessment approaches for wastewater collection systems. The primary goal of the project is to develop more efficient and cost-effective means to conduct condition assessment and to use the information as part of a risk-based asset management approach to planning. Specific project objectives include:
x Identify and characterize the state of condition assessment technology for wastewater collection systems.
x Research and evaluate performance and cost of innovative and advanced infrastructure monitoring technologies including wireless and remote sensing approaches developed in other industries and their applicability to wastewater collection sewers. x Identify and evaluate innovative CCTV technologies currently used by more advanced wastewater utilities for transfer to utilities at large.
