(PIGGYBACK PROCUREMENT)

WHEREAS, the City of Richmond Public Works Department is responsible for citywide vegetation management, fuel -reduction, and d efensible-space maintenance along rights -of-way, hillside corridors, and critical infrastructure areas; and

WHEREAS, current operations rely heavily on manual brush cutting and hand trimming on steep and uneven terrain, which increases safety risks to staff, limits operational efficiency, and restricts the acreage that can be maintained during peak fire season; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to enhance worker safety, improve operational efficiency, and advance sustainability goals through the acquisition of mechanized slope-mowing equipment; and

WHEREAS, staff evaluated available procurement options and identified Jesse Mack Company and Sterling May Equipment Company as the most advantageous vendors for the acquisition of one (1) Green Climber LV600 rem ote-control mower and two (2) Raymo Torpedo electric slope mowers, including accessories and one spare battery; and

WHEREAS, the proposed purchase is intended to be made through piggyback procurement, pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.320, utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 032525-GCL, a contract competitively solicited and awarded by a public agency; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.320, staff independently reviewed the Sourcewell solicitation and resulti ng contract and determined that:
(a) the originating contract was competitively solicited by a public agency; (b) the scope, specifications, and pricing of the contract are suitable for the City’s intended use; (c) the contract remains active and in good s tanding; and (d) utilizing the existing contract is in the City’s best interest and provides cost savings and administrative efficiency compared to conducting a separate solicitation; and

WHEREAS, staff further determined that no local vendors offer compa rable equipment meeting the City’s slope -safety, terrain-access, and zero -emission operational requirements, and that the equipment available through the Sourcewell contract represents the most advantageous solution available to the City; and

WHEREAS, the total cost of the proposed purchase, including tax and shipping, shall not exceed $269,747.62 and is funded through the approved Fiscal Year 2025 -2026 Public Works Operations and Maintenance budget (Account No. 50336031-400705-03D04);

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richmond, California, that the Council hereby approves a purchase with Jesse Mack Company and Sterling May Equipment Company for the acquisition of one (1) Green Climber LV600 remote -control mower and two (2) Raymo Torpedo electric slope mowers, including accessories and one spare battery, in an amount not-to-exceed $269,747.62, pursuant to Richmond Municipal Code Section

TO: Members of the City Council
FROM:

Mayor Eduardo Martinez

Subject:

Modification of City Council Liaison Appointment Cycle for Boards and Commissions
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for this item.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

May 19, 2015

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

City Council liaison assignments to boards and
commissions are currently made on an annual basis as a
matter of practice. While Resolution No. 46-15 grants the mayor discretion to appoint and remove Council liaisons, it does not establish a required appointment frequency.

The annual reassignment process limits continuity for
boards, commissions, and Council liaisons—particularly
when assignments frequently remain unchanged year
over year.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

DIRECT the city clerk to work with the Mayor’s Office to implement a two-year council liaison appointment cycle
for boards and commissions, aligned with the council
election cycle, while maintaining the Mayor’s authority to appoint or remove liaisons at their discretion, and
DIRECT that the current liaisons remain in effect through December 31, 2026, with new appointments to be made
in the first quarter of 2027 following installation of new City Council – Mayor’s Office (Mayor Eduardo Martinez

510-620-6503). This item was continued from the
January 20, 2026, meeting.

DISCUSSION:

Resolution No. 46-15 defines the role of City Council liaisons and affirms that City Councilmembers may be appointed or removed by the Mayor at the Mayor’s discretion.

The resolution does not, however, specify the length or frequency of liaison appointments

City Council elections occur every two years, with new terms beginning in January following the election. Aligning liaison appointments with this cycle provides greater continuity for boards and commissions and allows Council liaisons sufficient time to develop subject-matter familiarity and working relationships.

In practice, many City Councilmembers retain the same liaison assignments across multiple years. Formalizing a two-year appointment cycle reflects this reality while reducing unnecessary annual administrative processes. Importantly, this change does not limit the Mayor’s authority to make adjustments when needed; it simply establishes a default appointment cadence that improves efficiency and stability.

Maintaining current liaison assignments through calendar year 2026 ensures continuity during the remainder of the current Council term and allows the next Mayor and City Council, seated in January 2027, to make new appointments early in their term.

WHEREAS, City Council liaisons to City of Richmond boards, commissions and committees help facilitate open and efficient communication with the City Council, and the public regarding discussions and issues being addressed by the body.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Richmond herby define the role of City Council liaisons for City of Richmond boards, commissions, and committees as follows:

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

July 2, 2024

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

City staff is recommending City Council adopt a
resolution authorizing an amendment to the subcontract
issued by Veolia to APB General Engineering for
additional sanitary sewer line replacement and
rehabilitation work necessary to meet the City’s annual compliance obligations under the Baykeeper Settlement
Agreement.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

ADOPT a resolution and APPROVE the issuance of Task
Authorizations to Veolia Water, on behalf of the City, to manage subcontracts with APB General Engineering,
VW Housen, and Questa Engineers for additional
sanitary sewer line replacement and rehabilitation work, with a contract amendment amount of $4,030,385,
thereby increasing the total payment limit to $6,554,348, including applicable markups – Public Works Department

REPORT

item was continued from the January 20, 2026,
meeting.

DISCUSSION:

The Baykeeper Settlement Agreement (Section 31.c, 2018) requires the City of Richmond to annually replace or rehabilitate at least two (2) miles of Grade 5 gravity sewer, measured on a five-year rolling average (Attachment 1). To comply with this requirement, the City must allocate adequate annual capital funding for these mandated improvements. Failure to meet this requirement exposes the City to potential enforcement actions and penalties.

On July 2, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 84-14 which authorized Veolia to manage a subcontract with APB General Engineering in the amount of $2,523,963 to implement a portion of the City’s annual Grade 5 sewer rehabilitation obligation (Attachment 2). The project was required to be substantially completed by June 30, 2025, to count toward the applicable fiscal year’s two-mile compliance requirement.

During construction, unforeseen field conditions—including abandoned lines, access limitations, and easement conflicts—reduced the number of sewer segments that could be constructed within the originally authorized scope. As a result, the originally approved subcontract amount was insufficient to achieve the two-mile annual rehabilitation threshold required under the Baykeeper Settlement Agreement.

To address this shortfall and maintain compliance, staff identified and authorized additional Grade 5 sewer segments for evaluation and construction under the same competitively bid unit pricing.

Delays in material procurement further impacted the project schedule. However, APB’s proposed costs remained reasonable and aligned with the original competitively bid pricing. No changes were made to the contractor’s unit prices, and the additional work was executed consistent with the original procurement framework.

Given the fixed June 30 compliance deadline and the regulatory consequences of falling short of the mandated mileage, staff determined that increasing the subcontract authority was necessary to complete sufficient sewer segments within the required timeframe.

Construction subsequently progressed, allowing the City to meet the Baykeeper- mandated two-mile requirement for FY 2024–25. This action ensured continued compliance with the Settlement Agreement and avoided potential enforcement exposure.

The total cost of authorized Task Authorizations is $6,554,348. This includes mark-up from Veolia ranging from 9 percent to 16.5 percent. These mark-ups are consistent with the City’s existing operations and maintenance contract with Veolia. The previously approved amount by City Council is $2,523,963. Thus, staff is requesting additional 348

City staff requests that City Council adopt a resolution approving an increase to the subcontracts issued to APB General Engineering, managed by Veolia, in the amount of $4,030,385 for the FY 2024–25 Grade 5 Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement Project. This action is necessary to meet the City’s compliance obligations under the 2018 Baykeeper Settlement Agreement.

The total cost of the project will not exceed $6,554,348 without prior City Council approval.

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 126 364

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 126 365

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 126 366

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 126 367

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

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 126 370

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

XI. ! COLLECTION SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

33.! On or before March 31, 2018, Richmond shall revise Veolia’s July 2013 Operations and Maintenance Plan (“2018 O&M Plan”) as follows:
a. ! Detail procedures used during cleaning for trapping debris, roots, and FOG and quantifying the amount of debris, roots, and FOG removed during cleaning, including but not limited to, identifying the debris trap type and standardized methodology used by Richmond during cleaning; b. ! Adhere to the specific cleaning frequencies and response actions in the Cleaning Frequency Response Matrix, attached hereto as Attachment D;
c. ! Require that cleaning of gravity sewer line segments by Richmond shall include use of a fixed hydro-flushing nozzle centering device ( i.e., a nozzle skid) having a minimum of four (4) endpoints with a diameter within one (1) inch of the diameter of the gravity sewer line segment being cleaned to ensure the cleaning was effective. A gravity sewer line shall be considered adequately cleaned if the device passes through the entire sewer line segment, from manhole to manhole. If passage of the device from manhole to manhole in the gravity sewer line segment is restricted by conditions in the gravity sewer line segment, the gravity sewer line segment shall be inspected by CCTV to determine the cause of the restriction. Richmond shall maintain a list of all gravity sewer line segments where structural conditions do not permit the passage of the device and incorporate that information in its GIS map of the Collection System. Response to the findings on the structural condition of the sewer line segment from the post-proofing CCTV inspection shall be in accordance with Attachment B or D, as appropriate. If the inability of the device to pass results from insufficient cleaning, the gravity sewer line segment shall be re-cleaned until CCTV inspection confirms that the debris, root, or FOG accumulation has been removed from the sewer line segment. In addition, the Case 3:05-cv-03829-MMC Document 57 Filed 06/04/18 Page 21 of 126 371

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”).

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 126 391
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 126 392
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 21 st 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 a ssessment technology for wastewater collection systems.
x Research and evaluate performance and cost of inno vative 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 te levision (CCTV) technologies currently used by more advanced wastewater utilities for transfer to utilities at large. x Prepare protocols, metrics, and site selection cri teria 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 defec ts 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 126 411
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 met hod 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 (MF L) 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 d etection 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 us e 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 a nd 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 fo r the following applications:
a. Reduce use of confined space entry during sewer system inspections and investigations. b. Affordable inspection technology that utilizes m ulti-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 conditio n 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 additio n, 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 21 st 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 mi llion 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 a ssessment technology for wastewater collection systems.
x Research and evaluate performance and cost of inno vative 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.
