All subsurface components from the frame seal, walls, cleanout risers, and inverts are inspected. The rim to invert dimension for all connecting lines in manholes will be recorded. 2. The ENGINEER shall review the inspection data, quantify all identified defects, and enter the inspection data in the project database. B. Rainfall Simulation: Rainfall simulation activities will be performed in Basins BC20-Z, LC09-Z, and LC 17-Z only during this study. This task will specifically identify sections of sewer lines and sources where excessive infiltration and inflow may be expected to occur during wet -weather periods including locations of stormwater transfer into the sanitary sewer system. Work will include smoke testing and, if approved by CITY, dyed water flooding using comprehensive testing techniques developed by ENGINEER for such studies. A dual blower intensified smoke technique will be utilized to test sewer lines in the selected basins. This enhanced method uses two smoke blowers for each test segment instead of the conventional technique of one blower, and partial plugging of the segment. The objective is to identify connections from typical sources such as catch basins, roof leaders, yard drains. area drains, and detectable main line and lateral de-fects. Smoke testing will be performed only during dry periods to maximize the effectiveness of the smoke testing program. If approved by City. inflow sources will also be identified by means of dyed water flooding of storm sewer sections. stream sections, ditch sections, and ponding areas that may be contributing to inflow. The test areas will be based on results of the ENGINEER's smoke testing program. Positive dye tests are quantified for leakage rate. Field test data are input to the computerized data management system and analyzed. A water meter and water for dyed water flooding will be provided by CITY at no charge to ENGINEER. Specific tasks to be included are the following: • Perform dual blower smoke testing with partial plugging on adjacent manholes, secure photographs of defects, and record results on computerized data form. A total of 104,500 linear feet is anticipated in Basins BC20-Z, LC09-Z, and LC 17- Z. • Perform computerize analysis of smoke testing data and select dyed water flooding locations and estimate quantity. • Prepare dyed water testing justification report and submit to City for approval. • Perform dyed water flooding at selected locations and record data on computerized data forms and perforin computerized analysis of data. (7 locations are anticipated.) C. Interim Report/Cleaning and Internal Television (TV) Inspection: 1. Perform analysis of field investigations for TV inspection recommendations. Prepare a letter report summarizing the justification and location of sewers to be TV inspected with concurrent dyed water flooding. Submit and discuss the report with the CITY. 2. Perform cleaning and internal TV inspection of selected sewer lines and record findings. Sanitary sewer lines will be lightly cleaned in order to view the condition of the pipe. Light cleaning is defined as up to three passes in each sewer segment selected for television inspection. During cleaning operations, all sludge, debris, etc. shall be removed from the sewer and disposed of properly. Concurrent dyed water flooding will be performed with TV inspection to verify locations of inflow defects. (2,000 linear feet is anticipated.) III.
