Water distribution system and sanitary sewer collection system design. C. Construction administrative services. The successful proposer will be expected to perform the following: A. Complete the GIS mapping using the IAMGIS software. Record the location of infrastructure to sub-meter accuracy on an X,Y, and Z axis and draw it in on the map. B. Pipes - (Water & Sewer Including Service Laterals) record location, type, diameter, condition, estimated date of installation, estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. C. Valves - record location, type, diameter, turns to close, estimated date of installation and estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. D. Exercise and evaluate the condition of each water valve, provide information on whether the valve works, opens and closes properly, needs to be replaced, etc. E. Meters - record location, manufacturer size, meter serial number, ERT serial number, estimated date of installation and estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. F. Hydrants - record location, manufacturer, size, turns to close, estimated date of installation and estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. G. Exercise and evaluate the condition of each fire hydrant, provide information on whether the fire hydrant opens and closes properly, needs to be repaired, replaced, etc. Record static pressure, fire flow, residual pressure according to either AWWA, NFPA, or ISO standards. H. Water Tanks - record location, size, type, estimated date of installation and estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. I. Conduct a unidirectional flush of the entire water distribution system. J. Update the hydraulic model. K.

M. Sewer Pump Stations - record location, size, type, estimated date of installation and estimated cost to replace factoring in depreciation. N. Sewer Clean Outs at Property Lines - record location, size, material, and direction of flow. O. Conduct a sanitary sewer evaluation study to determine the hydraulic capacity and impact of inflow and infiltration on the sewer system. Focus areas that were rehabilitated in the early 2000s. Include sewer camera work, sewer flow monitoring, and smoke testing. P. Develop a Water and Sewer System Asset Management Plan that includes a Business Operations Plan. Create a condition and value for every asset in the water and sewer system. Establish a consequence of failure, prioritized list for replacement or rehabilitation, with recommended dates improvements and projected cost. Q. Examine water/sewer rates to set future rate goals that cover projected operational costs, reserve contributions, debt service, inflation, replacement costs, etc.
