RFP 927-2601 CCTV Inspections & Recommendations for Interceptor System

I. STATEMENT OF WORK

A. SCOPE

It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe Closed-Circuit

Television (CCTV) inspection services for various sanitary sewer pipelines and manholes

(MHs) within the East Bay Municipal Utility District (District) Interceptor system.

The District intends to award a 1-year contract with District options to extend this

agreement for additional one-year periods up to four times to the Proposer(s) who best

meets the District’s requirements. Under this proposal, the District reserves the right to

award multiple purchase orders for this service and make any assignment of work in its

sole discretion and only on an “as needed” basis. The District may enter into separate

agreements with other parties for the performance of the services described. The

District does not represent that any minimum or particular amount of work will be

assigned to the selected Proposer(s), and the Proposer’s payable compensation will be

earned as assigned work is completed. The District estimates the total amount of

pipeline inspection services at approximately 13,000 lineal feet per year. See projected

quantities in Section I.C.1 Tasks below, and Bid Schedules on Proposal Form in Exhibit A

for more information. Actual quantity and frequency of requested service from any one

Contractor may vary.

If selected and awarded a purchase order, Proposers will be expected to respond to

requests for project-specific proposals within ten (10) business days. Proposals shall

include estimated costs (based on RFP bid rates) and estimated schedule (based on

Proposer’s resources and commitments). If schedule does not meet District’s needs,

District may request a proposal from another Proposer. If schedule is acceptable,

District will issue a written authorization to proceed. The District reserves the right to

commence, close, reduce, or extend Proposer services at any time in response to

changing needs.

B. PROPOSER QUALIFICATIONS

1. Proposer, Proposer’s principal, or Proposer’s staff shall have been regularly

engaged in the business of providing CCTV inspection services for large diameter

buried sewers and manholes for at least five (5) years.

2. Camera operators and coders must have a current certification from National

Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO)’s Manhole Assessment

Certification Program (MACP) and Pipeline Assessment Certification Program

(PACP) with at least one year of NASSCO coding experience.

RFP 927-2601 CCTV Inspections & Recommendations for Interceptor System

3. Inspection report including rehabilitation recommendations and approximate

remaining useful life (RUL) shall be signed and stamped by a professional civil

engineer licensed in the state of California.

4. Proposer shall hold a valid General Engineering Class A Contractor’s license.

5. Proposer shall possess all permits, licenses, and professional credentials

necessary to perform services as specified under this RFP.

C. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

1. TASKS

The following scope of work is provided as a general guide. Proposer shall use

NASSCO specification guidelines as the standard for data collection, evaluation,

and reporting for all mainline and manhole inspections. Any coding must comply

with the most current NASSCO version at the time of the inspections. District will

determine the use of appropriate investigative methodology prior to the start of

each inspection project. The Proposer may present additional/alternative tasks

and details that based on their professional experience will best serve the

project.

See Bid Schedules on Proposal Form in Exhibit A for projected quantities.

Inspection lengths and scope are subject to change based on other District

information and projects, including but not limited to ongoing manhole and

pipeline assessments, capital improvement projects, maintenance, and

emergency responses. As such, the Proposer’s unit costs will be used to calculate

prices in the option periods following the initial one-year contract.

a. CCTV Interceptor Inspection & Manhole Inspection

Proposer shall provide CCTV inspection of the interceptor segments and

adjacent manholes. Proposer shall provide NASSCO PACP inspection

reports for each interceptor segment inspected and NASSCO MACP Level 2

inspection reports for each manhole inspected. Inspections will include

approximately 13,000LF of interceptor inspections and 35 adjacent

manhole inspections per year. Proposed scope for the first two years is

presented in Tables 1 and 2 below. Future scope for years 3 through 5 will

be defined at a later date, however, the District anticipates the inspection

quantities will be similar to years 1 and 2. Locations of pipes and manholes

are shown in Exhibit F, Reference Drawings. The work specified involves

activities in existing wastewater facilities that are live and operational at

all times. Inspections shall take place during periods of low flow, and

surface bypassing shall not be used. Work is expected to occur during the

RFP 927-2601

dry season. Night work may be necessary to complete the inspections.

Proposer shall acquire all necessary permitting and provide traffic control

plans and traffic control services conforming to California Manual on

Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards for all CCTV inspection

work. Proposer shall incorporate inspection results into a formalized

report and provide analysis of existing conditions, recommendations for

rehabilitation or replacement, and approximate remaining useful life

(RUL). Report shall be signed and stamped by a professional civil engineer

licensed in the state of California.

The Contractor shall use a pan and tilt CCTV camera with a minimum of

1080p resolution (1920x1080 pixels in progressive scan) and attach GoPro

video cameras or approved equal with 4K minimum resolution (3840x2160

pixels) to CCTV equipment for additional video capture during CCTV

inspections. The camera lens must be kept clean and clear and any fogging

due to oil, grease, water or debris that obscures the lens. The lens shall be

cleaned off before proceeding with the recording operation. The camera

must remain centered in the pipe during inspection. The camera lens must

be above the visible water level and may be submerged only while passing

through clearly identifiable line sags or surcharged mainline conditions.

Appropriate lighting shall be used to generate useful, discernible video

footage and minimize glare. Video footage shall be edited to be

superimposed picture-in-picture to allow linear footage tracked review of

GoPro footage. All pictures and recordings shall be in color, in focus,

properly illuminated with good contrast, and evenly spread around 360

degrees of the sewer inside perimeter without loss of contrast. If the

image quality is not adequate for post-inspection coding, Contractor shall

be required to repeat the survey at Contractor’s expense.

Each structure-to-structure segment shall be recorded as a separate

inspection. If the inspection run continues through multiple pipe

segments, a new video recording and inspection record shall be started at

each structure location. Proposer shall reference provided GIS data to

verify segment length and to identify structures that may not be clearly

visible from camera or from the street. Each structure-to-structure

segment under inspection shall be identified in the video recording. If an

unknown structure is encountered during inspection, the video shall

terminate at the new structure. A new recording shall begin at the new

structure and continue to the next structure encountered. New structures

shall be named according to the appropriate naming convention.

If an inspection of an entire structure-to-structure segment cannot be

successfully performed from one maintenance hole, a second survey shall

be performed using a reverse setup. Both inspections shall be displayed as
