Richmond is no exception. However, the manual redaction of sensitive information from audio and video recordings is time-consuming and resource intensive. Veritone's Redact software offers an AI-powered solution that automates this process, significantly reducing the time and effort required. This allows officers and administrative staff to focus on their primary responsibilities, enhancing overall efficiency.

Veritone's Redact software ensures high accuracy in identifying and redacting sensitive information, minimizing the risk of human error and maintaining consistency. The customizable redaction policies allow the software to adhere to the department's specific requirements, ensuring we meet legal standards and protect privacy. By accurately redacting faces, license plates, and other personal identifiers, the software safeguards the privacy of victims, witnesses, and uninvolved parties, which is crucial for maintaining public trust and ethical standards.

From a cost perspective, automated redaction reduces labor costs associated with manual processes, offering significant savings. The flexible subscription model of Veritone's Redact software provides scalability, allowing us to manage costs effectively according to our budget and needs. This makes the software a cost-effective solution that can adapt to varying levels of demand and operational requirements, ensuring fiscal responsibility. Police Department staff currently estimate that roughly $15,000 will be expended each fiscal year during the term of the contract and is recommending an additional contingency amount of $4,500 in the event an urgent need arises.

Moreover, Veritone's Redact software integrates seamlessly with existing digital evidence management systems, ensuring a smooth transition and uninterrupted workflow. Its user-friendly interface requires minimal training, facilitating quick adoption by staff. Utilizing this technology, the police department will enhance operational capabilities, better serve the community, and uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, City may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without cause, terminate this Contract at any time prior to completion by Contractor of the project or services hereunder, immediately upon written notice to Contractor.

Additionally, in the event of such termination, the City may proceed with the work in any reasonable manner it chooses.

14. Conflict of Interest. Contractor acknowledges, represents and warrants that Contractor shall avoid all conflicts of interest (as defined under any federal, state or local statute, rule or regulation, or at common law) with respect to this Contract. Contractor further acknowledges, represents and warrants that no City official or employee has any economic interest, as defined in Title 2, California Code of Regulations §§ 18703.1 through 18703.5, with Contractor that would invalidate this Contract. Contractor acknowledges that in the event that Contractor shall be found by any judicial or administrative body to have any conflict of interest (as defined above) with respect to this Contract, all consideration received under this Contract shall be forfeited and returned to City forthwith. This provision shall survive the termination of this Contract for one (1) year.

15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.

Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to DocuSign Envelope ID: 043DB272-D667-431F-B930-D1160D5FF934 2248
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.

The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section

Any assignment by Contractor of any or all of its rights under this Contract without first obtaining City's prior written consent shall be a default under this Contract.

The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor (if applicable), or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member if Contractor is a partnership or joint-venture or syndicate, which shall result in a change of control of Contractor, shall be deemed an assignment.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery. CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin. The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed, or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.

Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, Contractor must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.

Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation

TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Chavarria, PE, Director of Public Works
Tawfic Halaby, PE, Deputy Director of Public Works
Carl Capistrano, Facilities Maintenance Superintendent
Subject: Piggyback Contract with Angeles Contractor, Inc.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for the purchase is anticipated to come from mid-year adjustment to facilities maintenance from
general fund or capital improvement.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

N/A

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City has ongoing needs for waterproofing and roof
repairs at various City facilities, which will be addressed by Angeles Contractor.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE an agreement with Angeles Contractor, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for a term ending
June 7, 2025 – Public Works (Daniel Chavarria 510-620-
5478 / Carl Capistrano 510-620-6896).

DISCUSSION:

Several City facilities have leaky roofs, and water intrusion is causing damage to building ceilings and interiors. Over the years, City staff has performed spot repairs at various roof locations, however the spot repairs constitute a temporary stop-gap measure only. During the winter of 2023-24, roof leaks continued to be a problem at AGENDA
REPORT

various City facilities. During the mid-year process, staff requested additional funding from City Council, to address leaky roofs at various city facilities.

Preventive maintenance measures, such as waterproofing and repairs, are costeffective treatments that prolong the useful life of a facility roof for five to seven years.

This will provide more time for the City to develop a strategy for replacing roofs, which usually require a structural assessment, hiring an architect and/or a structural engineer, upgrading roof structure designs to conform to current seismic standards, and issuing large construction contracts. These roof replacements are longer-term endeavors, require planning and design, and are relatively costly.

City staff members request approval of a piggyback contract with Angeles Contractor, Inc. for waterproofing and repairs at various City facilities in an amount not to exceed $300,000 and for a term ending June 7, 2025. Individual work authorizations will be issued as needed for work at individual facilities as needs arise and funding becomes available, pursuant to the proposed agreement.

15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.

Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to 2284
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.

An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.

The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.

DISCUSSION:

The Department of Public Works, Parks & Landscaping Division needs to restore communication between the central irrigation computer and the irrigation controllers in the field. The controllers currently communicate via radio signal, but the original communication method using analog phone modem to radio is no longer available. The proposed solution involves using a cellular-to-ethernet bridge to communicate with the repeater, which will send radio signals to the field controllers. Additionally, repairs will be made to recalibrate the crystals in the existing radios as they are not digital.

City staff recommend approving a sole source contract with SiteOne Landscape Supply to upgrade the irrigation computer system at Marina Bay Park. SiteOne Landscape is the only equipment manufacturer that can provide Rain Master replacement parts for the upgrade.

Department (Robert Armijo 510-620-5477/Ken Cheng

DISCUSSION:

Lincoln Elementary School, situated in the heart of the Iron Triangle neighborhood, stands as one of two primary educational institutions in the area. Its proximity to key community thoroughfares such as the Richmond Greenway, Chanslor Avenue, 4th Street, and 6th Street positions it centrally within vital safe routes to school. The Richmond Public Works Department is proposing several pedestrian safety improvements in response to the substantial need for enhanced safety measures despite the presence of existing crosswalks along Chanslor Avenue, which are frequently used by numerous students and their guardians.

The proposed improvements aim to enhance pedestrian safety by narrowing crossing distances on Chanslor Avenue through the installation of median refuges and curb extensions. Additionally, the introduction of a raised intersection at the junction of Chanslor Avenue and 4th Street is intended to prioritize pedestrian movement and moderate vehicular speed, further reinforcing the safety of this critical school route.

On September 17, 2017, the City Council endorsed a resolution to express local support for these improvements, authorizing the submission of a funding application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The City Council also committed to providing the requisite matching funds and ensure the project's completion, which includes both design and construction phases.

The Lincoln Elementary School Safe Route Improvement Project benefits from dual financial backing: a $497,000 construction grant from the One Bay Area Grant 2 (OBAG2) and a local contribution of $265,000 from the General Capital Funds. This local contribution was affirmed by the City Council on October 24, 2023, during the approval of the FY 2022-23 Q4 Financial Report and Administrative Budget Adjustments, which included the allocation of additional resources for the successful execution of this project among others.

The City advertised the project through BidsOnline on January 22, 2024, to solicit bids for the construction work. Bids were opened on February 20, 2024, and the City received five bids. The City staff selected Corcus Construction, Inc. as the contractor, and the Council awarded the contract on April 16, 2024.

During the processing of the contract for execution, a clerical error was discovered in the construction contract, specifically the absence of required federal forms.

Unfortunately, by the time the error was noticed, the contract had already been fully executed. The missing forms included:
 Form FHWA-1273

 Bidder’s List of Subcontractors (DBE and Non-DBE) Exhibit 12-B  Bidder’s Experience/Qualifications (Exhibit E)

 DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts (Exhibit 15-H)
 Bid Tabulation Summary Sheet (Exhibit 15-D)
 Detail Estimate (Exhibit 15-M)
 Disclosure of Lobbying Activities
Caltrans Local Assistance was immediately informed and recommended that the City of Richmond terminate the contract with Corcus Construction, Inc., for the Lincoln Elementary School Safe Route to School Improvement Project (CML-5137(055)) and rebid as soon as possible. The contractor was contacted and informed of this error and indicated understanding of the situation, expressing interest in participating in the re-bid.

City staff recommends that the City Council terminate the construction contract with Corcus Construction, Inc., and authorize Public Works staff to rebid the Lincoln Elementary School Safe Routes to School Improvement Project (CML-5137(055)).

Additionally, staff recommends re-appropriating funds in the General Capital Fund in the amount of $103,831 and in the Engineering Grants Fund in the amount of $496,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-25. This recommendation ensures compliance with federal requirements and allows the project to proceed without further delays, ultimately enhancing the safety of students and the community.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS:

This project is exempted from CEQA requirements in accordance with Class 1 - Section 15301, Class 2 - Section 15302, and Class 3 - Section 15303.

Contractor shall include the following language in their agreement with subcontractors: “Subcontractors hired by Contractor agree to be bound to Contractor and City in the same manner and to the same extent as Contractor is bound to City under the Contract Documents and provide a valid certificate of insurance and the required endorsements included in the agreement as proof of compliance prior to commencement of any work and to include this same requirement for any subcontractors they hire for this work. A copy of the insurance and indemnity requirements of the Contract Documents will be furnished to the subcontractor upon request.” Contractor shall have furnished the City with evidence of the insurance coverage meeting the insurance requirements set forth in Project Specifications for each subcontractor prior to initiating any work on the Project, including Builder’s Risk insurance with appropriate coverage for the cost of construction. The periods for submittal, review and approval shall apply as stated in subparagraph (b) above.
(d) The Parties agree that notwithstanding the time requirements set forth in this subsection for submittal and resubmittal to the City by the Contractor of the evidence of insurance and review and approval of the evidence of insurance by the City, Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the evidence of insurance in approvable form is submitted to the City in a timely manner.
(e) Any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits set forth in the Project Specifications shall be available to the City as an additional insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in the Project Specifications; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named insured, whichever is greater. No representation is made that the minimum insurance requirements set forth in the Project Specifications are sufficient to cover the obligations of the Contractor under this Agreement. (f) Contractor shall maintain the insurance requirements set forth in the Project Specifications for a minimum of five (5) years following the completion of the Project. In the event Contractor fails to obtain or maintain completed operations coverage as required by the Project Specifications, the City at its sole discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost for the same shall be paid by Contractor upon demand by the City.

1. At the request and the expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in the state as escrow agent, who shall then pay the retained funds to the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor.

The Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities. All terms and conditions of this agreement and the rights and responsibilities of the parties shall be equally applicable and binding when the Owner pays the Escrow Agent directly.
(4) Contractor shall be responsible for paying all fees for the expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in administering the Escrow Account and all expenses of the Owner. These expenses and payment terms shall be determined by the Owner, Contractor, and Escrow Agent.

(a) Breach of Covenants. Failure by Contractor or any subcontractor to duly perform, comply with, or observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any of the Contract Documents. The City shall give Contractor written notice of the breach and specify a time in which to cure the breach.

breach shall not constitute a default provided that the breach is cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the City’s last notice and demand to cure.
(b) Disregard of Laws. Disregard of laws, rules, regulations, directions or instructions of City by Contractor or any subcontractor with respect to the performance of work. (c) Insolvency.

Section 2.2 Remedies.

The occurrence of any Default hereunder following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue payments and shall give the City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the following:

A-10
each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or otherwise against Contractor and any other person.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Relationship of Parties.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the City and Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor shall at all times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement. Contractor has and retains the right to exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation, and discharge of all persons assisting in the performance of services under the Agreement. In regards to the construction of the Project, Contractor shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding, and all other laws and regulations governing such matters, and shall include requirements in each contract that subcontractors shall be solely responsible for similar matters relating to their employees.

Contractor shall be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its agents and employees.

Section 3.2 Change Orders.
(a) Changes affecting the time of performance, unit pricing, or total contract price shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:

1. The work performed in connection with the change to be made;

2. The amount of the adjustment to the Payment Limit, if any, and the basis for compensation for the work ordered; which adjustment may be a negotiated lump sum amount, agreed unit price, or paid under Section 9-1.04 “Force Account” of the 2018 State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications; and

3. The amount of time to be adjusted in the schedule for performance, if any.

A-11
become effective without Contractor’s signature, provided the Department Head or his or her representative so indicates by noting thereon “unilateral change order.” (c) All changes in any plans and specification approved by any authority with jurisdiction over the Project may also require addenda or change orders approved by that authority.
(d) Where the City requests, a performance bond rider covering the changed work must be executed and delivered to the City before proceeding with the changed work, or shortly in time thereafter.
(e) The Department Head or his or her representative has the authority to approve Change Orders with a cumulative dollar value of up to ten percent (10%) of the contract price.

Section 3.3 Claims By Contractor.
(a) No Third-Party Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against the City by any person that Contractor may have employed or with whom Contractor may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the construction of the Project, and Contractor shall include similar requirements in any contracts entered into for the construction of the Project. Pursuant to Section 9204 (d)(5) of the Public Contract Code, however, Contractor may present a claim on behalf of a subcontractor for work which was performed by that subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. Such claim shall have been reviewed and evaluated by Contractor prior to submission to the City. (b) Obligation to File Claims for Disputed Work. Should it appear to the Contractor that the work to be performed or any of the matters relative to the Contract Documents are not satisfactorily detailed or explained therein, or should any questions arise as to the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, or should Contractor have a claim against the City, as the term “claim” is defined in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, or should any dispute arise regarding the true value of any work performed, work omitted, extra work that the Contractor may be required to perform, time extensions, payment to the Contractor during performance of the work, construction of the Project, and/or compliance with procedures or standards set forth in the Contract Documents, or should Contractor otherwise seek extra time or compensation FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (each, a “Claim”), then Contractor shall first follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 3.2, “Change Orders.” If a dispute remains, then Contractor shall give written notice by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, and such Claim shall be resolved as set forth below. (c) Form and Contents of Claim. The Claim shall be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days of receiving the City’s written decision regarding the dispute, or the date the Contractor contends such decision was due, and in no event later than the date of final payment.

Contractor’s written claim must identify itself as a “Claim” under this Section 3.3 and must include the following: (1) a narrative of pertinent events; (2) citation to contract provisions; (3) theory of entitlement; (4) complete pricing of all cost impacts; (5) a time impact analysis of all time delays that shows actual time impact on the critical path; (6) documentation supporting items 1 – 5; and (7) verification under penalty of perjury of the claim’s accuracy. The Claim shall be priced like a Change Order, and must be updated every thirty (30) days as to cost and DocuSign Envelope ID: 4A215DAB-2642-456C-B918-9AA4141B0195 DocuSign Envelope ID: 788FFD59-403D-4C61-92F7-BC92FE6BA99B 2416
A-12
entitlement if it remains a continuing Claim. Routine contract materials, for example, correspondence, RFI, Change Order requests, or payment requests shall not constitute a Claim.

Contractor shall bear all costs incurred in preparation, submittal, and administration of a Claim. (d) Administration After Claim Submittal.

1. City may render a final decision based solely on the materials submitted in support of the Claim or may in its sole discretion conduct an administrative hearing on the Claim, in which case Contractor shall appear, participate, answer inquiries, and present any further evidence or analysis requested by City. Should City take no action on the Claim within forty-five (45) days (or any extension thereof mutually agreed upon by City and Contractor, or any such greater time to respond afforded City under Section 9204(d)(1)(C) of the Public Contract Code) of submittal, it shall be deemed denied.

2. If Contractor disputes City’s written response, or if City fails to respond to a Claim within the time prescribed, Contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, City will schedule a meet and confer conference within thirty (30) days for settlement of the dispute.

3. Within ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the Claim or any portion of the Claim remains in dispute, City will provide Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the Claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within sixty (60) days after City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within ten (10) business days after the disputed portion of the Claim has been identified in writing. If City and Contractor cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the Claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the Claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to Section 3.3(f) of this Agreement.

4. Failure by City to respond to a Claim within the time periods described in Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code or to otherwise comply with the time requirements of that section shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A Claim that is denied by reason of City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise comply with the time requirements of Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the Claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the claimant filing the Claim.

5. Notwithstanding and pending the resolution of any Claim or dispute, Contractor shall diligently perform the disputed work to final completion in accordance with the City’s direction.
(f) Compliance

1. The provisions of this Section 3.3 constitute a non-judicial claim settlement procedure that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 930.2, shall constitute a condition precedent to the submittal of a valid claim under the California Government Code. Any Government Code claims alleging disputed work must affirmatively indicate prior compliance with this Section 3.3. In accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 1.10.010(b), all Government Code claims must be presented no later than the 100th day after the earlier of (i) the date the City actively or passively denied the Claim, or (ii) substantial completion or termination of the contract.

2. Failure to submit and administer Claims as required in Section 3.3 shall waive Contractor’s right to compensation for any disputed work not included in a timely Claim. Disputes not raised in a timely protest and timely Claim submitted under this Section 3.3 may not be asserted in any subsequent Government Code claim, administrative hearing, or civil action.

3. City shall not be deemed to waive any provision under this Section 3.3 if, at City’s sole discretion, a Claim is administered in a manner not in accord with this Section 3.3. Waivers or modifications of this Section 3.3 may only be made by signed Change Order approved as to form by legal counsel for both City and Contractor. Oral or implied modifications shall be of no force or effect.

Section 3.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permissible by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and require its subcontractors to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, its elected and appointed officials, and all of its employees, volunteers and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”), from all liability, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims or judgments, including attorney’s fees and other defense costs (collectively, “Actions”), resulting from injury to or death sustained by any person (including Contractor’s or any subcontractors’ employees), or damage to property of any kind, or any other injury or damage whatsoever, which Actions arise out of or are in any way connected with the construction of the Project, regardless of Contractor’s fault or negligence; provided, however, that Contractor’s, and Contractor’s subcontractors’ indemnity obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent any Actions are caused by the active negligence or willful act or omission of an Indemnified Party. The indemnification obligations of Contractor and its subcontractors shall extend to Actions asserted after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for the full period of time allowed by law.

Section 3.12 Force Majeure.

Performance by either Party shall not be deemed to be in default when delays in performance are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, or court order, or any other similar causes (other than lack of funds of Contractor) beyond the control or without the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform (“Force-Majeure Delays”). In no event shall any extension of any period of time be deemed to have occurred unless the Party claiming the Force-Majeure Delay gives written notice to the other Party within ten (10) days following the commencement of any such delay, setting forth the facts giving rise to the Force-Majeure Delay request, the expected duration of the delay, and the steps the Party intends to take to minimize the Delay.

Any extension of time granted to Contractor to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or release from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

CITY OF RICHMOND
Sanctuary City Compliance Statement
The undersigned, an authorized agent of (hereafter
"Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”). Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”).

The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.

By executing this Statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this day of , 20 , at , California.

RE: Termination of the Lincoln Elementary School Safe Route Improvement Project Agreement
Dear Mr. Breen:

Thank you for your business. Please consider this our formal notice to terminate the contract between Corcus Construction, Inc. and the City of Richmond. On July 2, 2024, the City Council of the City of Richmond approved the termination of the contract with Corcus Construction Inc., due to non-compliance with federal requirements for bidding this project.

Because of the funding for this project, the project cannot go forward without rebidding the project with the proper forms included. Per Article II Default and Remedies, Section 2.3 Waiver of Damages, if the agreement is terminated for any reason, there is no claim for damages. The effective date of this termination is July 2, 2024.

If you have any questions about this contract termination, please contact me by email at [email protected]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

DISCUSSION:

The City Council will be on recess from July 3, 2024, to September 2, 2024. During this period, it is crucial to proceed with the bid and award process for the Traffic Calming 18 Locations Project to start construction this summer. The agreed project deadline for completion for the high-priority traffic calming improvements is December 2024.

The Traffic Calming 18 Locations Project aims to improve safety and enhance the pedestrian experience across various high-priority locations in the City of Richmond.

This project is based on the Traffic Safety Implementation Strategy presented by Fehr and Peers, which identified top locations needing traffic calming measures. These measures are designed to deter sideshows, enhance safety in Equity Priority Communities, address areas on the High Injury Network, and align with the Bicycle Master Plan and Pedestrian Plan Key Corridors.

The project includes the development of quick-build concepts, detailed design, and construction of various traffic calming features such as speed humps, curb extensions, pedestrian refuge islands, and enhanced crosswalks. The targeted locations have been prioritized based on stakeholder requests, safety data, and the need for immediate intervention to improve traffic safety and pedestrian comfort.

Delaying the bid and award process for the Traffic Calming 18 Locations Project will impact project completion for December 2024. Given the project's significance to community safety and the tight timeline, it is essential to move forward with the contracting process during the Council recess.

Staff requests the Council adopt a resolution to authorize the City Manager to award bids and execute contracts with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the Traffic Calming 18 Locations Project, up to the budgeted amount of $1.6 million.

Additionally, staff requests that the Director of Public Works be authorized to approve change orders up to 10% of the construction costs, provided that such change orders fit within the project budget. This authorization will ensure that the project progresses as scheduled and meets all necessary deadlines, maintaining the project's funding and delivery schedule.

July 2, 2024
DISCUSSION:

Baykeeper (per the ¶ 31.c of the 2018 Settlement Agreement) requires the City of Richmond to replace or repair at least two (2) miles of Grade 5 gravity sewer per year, based on a five (5) year rolling average.

To achieve this goal, the City must allocate annual capital funding to cover the cost of these mandated repairs.

On March 20, 2024, the proposal was posted to BidsOnLine, and twenty-nine (29) prospective bidders downloaded the bid information. On April 16, 2024, five (5) bids were received from (in alphabetical order): APB General Engineering, Cratus, Inc., D’Arcy and Harty Construction, Inc., Glosage Engineering, Inc., and W.R. Forde and Associates.

The bids received were as follows:

Contractor Contractor Bid Amount
APB General Engineering $1,690,800
Cratus Inc. $3,144,000
D’Arcy and Harty Construction, Inc. $2,044,687
Glosage Engineering Inc. $1,923,820
W.R. Forde and Associates $2,876,575
City Staff and Veolia Staff reviewed the bids and determined that APB General Engineering was the lowest responsive bid and is responsible. Two pre-qualified technical firms (V.W. Housen & Associates and Questa Engineers) also submitted acceptable proposals to provide compaction testing and engineering services during construction for this project.

While staff typically recommends a 10% contingency for projects, a 25% contingency is deemed necessary for the Grade 5 Sewer Replacement project. This is due to the nature of older pipelines, which often present unforeseen challenges once they are uncovered. The additional contingency will provide a buffer to address potential issues such as unexpected deterioration, uncharted underground utilities, and necessary modifications to ensure compliance with current standards. This approach aims to mitigate risks and ensure the project can be completed without significant delays or additional funding requests.

As per the City’s contract with Veolia, Veolia is responsible for the construction management of City Water Resource projects. Their fee structure includes a charge of

16.5% of the construction cost and 9% of the contingencies. For this project, in addition to the fee for APB, Veolia’s 16.5% charge will also apply to the fees for VW Housen ($40,000) and Questa ($25,000). Additionally, a 9% markup will be applied to the 25% 2476

contingency for APB, VW Housen, and Questa. These combined costs are reflected in the table below as the Construction Management cost.

The total estimated cost of this project, if awarded to the lowest bidder is as follows:

Construction Task Authorization $ 1,690,800
Contingency @ 25% $ 422,700
Total Construction Cost $ 2,113,500
Design Support During Construction $65,000
Construction Management Cost $ 329,213
Support Contingency @ 25% $ 16,250
Total Project Cost $ 2,523,963
Staff is requesting council approve the resolution to authorize issuing the Task Authorization to Veolia for the 2024-25 Grade 5 Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement Project.

The total cost of the project will not exceed $2,523,963 without prior council approval.

TBD
The 2023-24 Grade 5 RAA Replacement Project - Phase I replaces (24) pipelines with an approximate combined length of 7,191 lineal feet. This task authorization is submitted based on direction provided by the City of Richmond to perform the following full line replacements:

The pipe segments to be rehabilitated for this project are identified in Scope of Work Attachment A (see attached). The work will include replacement of deteriorated sewer pipe segments within the collection system using pipe bursting or open cut as discussed further below, including installing new manholes where indicated on Attachment A. For pipe replacement work, pipe bursting is the preferred method followed by open cut. The Contractor shall conduct a pre-CCTV to locate and reinstate laterals. A complete NASSCO graded post-construction CCTV survey of the entire line segment (manhole to manhole) shall be completed upon completion of the work (no later than one month after the repair or replacement) and provided to Veolia.

This project was competitively bid to be performed on a "design-build" basis, and the Contractor is responsible for engaging the services of an engineering firm to issue design drawings for lines with utility conflicts and other constructability issues and also issue the final as-built drawings. Hence, per the City's direction, no engineered drawings were provided for this pipe replacement project. T&M not to exceed fees are included for compaction testing services as well as engineering support services in this proposal. All services provided for design support by V. W. Housen & Associates and for compaction testing services by Questa Engineering shall be tracked by Veolia and billed to the City with associated markups. All unused funds and associated Veolia markup shall return to the City.

On March 20, 2024, the City posted the Request for Bids on Bids Online, and Veolia conducted a mandatory pre-bid meeting with ten (10) participants on April 3, 2024. On April 16, 2024, five (5) bids were received from qualified contractors; the apparent low bid received was from APB General Engineering in the amount of $1,690,800.00. Veolia evaluated all of the bids and found them to be responsive and complete and recommend awarding the contract to APB General Engineering, who is the low bidder. Their bid is attached.

The total authorization amount of this TA is $2,045,507.00, which includes Veolia's 16.5% markup as well as NTE estimated design and testing amounts for V.W. Housen & Associates and Questa Engineering, respectively.

breakdown to the Construction Administrator prior to the first payment and within ten (10) calendar days after Notice to Proceed. The price breakdown, as revised and agreed upon by the Bidder and the Construction Administrator, shall be used for preparing future estimates for progress payments to the Bidder, or as the basis for evaluating and pricing change orders, and shall list the major items of work with a price fairly apportioned to each item.

2. The price breakdown shall be, generally, in the same format as the Contract specifications’ divisions and subdivisions, with major items of work listed individually.

The price breakdown shall be by sewer pipeline items and shall include separate items for identifiable portions of the sewer pipeline system (including specific prices for different size items within the system), and other logical divisions of work. Measurable approximate quantities of work performed by the Bidder or its subcontractors shall be provided. For quantities that are the sum total of several individual quantities, backup summaries shall be provided which list the individual descriptions and quantities (for instance; excavation, dewatering, pipe installation, backfill, paving, etc.). These summaries then will be used 1) to determine the quantities of work in place in subsequent progress payment requests and 2) as the basis for evaluating and pricing change orders.

3. The above is a statement of the intent of the Contract Documents to provide a moderate level of detail, acceptable to the Project Manager, to allow a fair and reasonable estimate to be made of the value of work installed. The detail of the price breakdown must be sufficient to provide timely processing of the monthly progress payment request.

4. The price breakdown will be subject to the approval of the Project Manager, and upon the request, the Bidder shall substantiate the price for any or all items and provide additional level of detail, including quantities of work and supplier’s and subcontractor’s written cost quotes.

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 2528

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 2529

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 2530

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 2531

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

ANALYSIS

23. Richmond shall ensure that, by June 30, 2018, all gravity sewer main lines and, by October 1, 2018, all force main sewer lines in Richmond’s Collection System have had their condition assessed within the last ten years.

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 2534

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.

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”). Based on the results of the Root Foaming Analysis, Richmond Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 22 of 126 2536

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.

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 2544

57. Alternative Dispute Resolution: The dispute-resolution procedure set forth below shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes between the Parties with regard to any aspect of this 2018 Settlement Agreement.

58. Informal Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree to engage in Informal Dispute Resolution pursuant to the terms of this paragraph:
a. Meet and Confer: If a dispute under this 2018 Settlement Agreement arises, or any party believes that a breach of this Agreement has occurred, the Parties shall meet and confer (telephonically or in-person) within ten (10) days of receiving written notification of a request for such meeting.

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 2545

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 2555
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 2556
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 2575
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.
