Huggins Project Manager (312) 236-5655 Year Established: 1896 A-1 I Description Of The Company Our pipeline experience dates back to 1896, the year in which Pitometer (now part of the Severn Trent organization) was founded. Severn Trent has continued to build upon Pitometer's reputation for providing quality pipeline services to local communities in a manner that makes doing business easy. Our combination of quality, service, regulatory knowledge and local focus is the reason we have been around for more than a century. As a result, Severn Trent has become the industry leader in local water distribution system and sewer collection system solutions. We began providing these services under the Severn Trent name in 1997. Our Pipeline Services (STPS) division's primary line of business is water and wastewater field testing and analysis, as well as line-stopping and valve and hydrant exercising equipment and services. Our clients are typically small and large municipalities, but we also perform similar work for industrial clients. Our engineers and field technicians work closely with client representatives to help them solve flow, pressure, and leakage problems in their systems. Severn Trent also performs hydraulic modeling and master plan studies. Severn Trent is often called upon as a subcontractor to other firms because of the specialized work that we perform. The Chicago office provides leak detection services on a continuing basis to approximately 30 municipal clients in the Chicago area. The Chicago office will be responsible for performing the Water System Leak Detection Services for the City of Elgin. A-2 • Project Approach Based upon our understanding of the needs for the planned project, this section contains a description of our approach and discussions of the techniques that STPS will use to meet the required project objectives. Leak Detection Conduct a leak detection/location survey with ultrasonic detection equipment on approximately 382 miles of water main within the City of Elgin distribution system. The system will be monitored by listening on all hydrants, selected valves and on any other necessary appurtenances with highly sensitive sound intensifying instruments. The distance between listening points will not be greater than 500 feet, with physical contact made on fire hydrants, valves and curb stops. B-1 L During the detection survey, records will be developed to include: * Type of appurtenance monitored. * Location. * Mechanical deficiencies. * Map discrepancies. These field survey records will be made part of the final report and submitted to the City of Elgin. A list will be developed for the City of Elgin, Public Works Department of all inaccessible appurtenances that need to be surveyed. It will be the responsibility of the City of Elgin, Public Works Department to either locate or clean those appurtenances. This will include breaking loose all covers, uncovering buried valves, pumping out valve vaults and removing debris. Leak Location All appurtenances showing indications of leakage will be thoroughly investigated with the FCS TriCorr 2001 and Radcom Soundsens leak correlators to pinpoint the leaks for repair. L B-2 EL The leaks that are found will be classified as follows and will be reported daily on individual leak location forms: Class I: Leaks which are hazardous in terms of potential underground washouts, possibly resulting in surface collapse, and/or damage to nearby utilities, commercial and private properties or leaks that indicate leakage to be severe enough to warrant immediate repair by Public Work forces. Class II: Leaks which display water losses significant enough to be placed on a regular repair schedule. Class Ill: Relatively small leaks which should be repaired as work time permits. When possible, all leaks will be marked in the field with a distinctive paint mark and/or field stake for each leak. STPS, in the event of an errant leak location, will re-pinpoint that leak until it is exposed. Every effort will be made by STPS to return to the site while the initial repair excavation is open. A copy of the STPS "Leak Location" form is shown on the following page.

Other Remarks L Remonitorinq A follow-up survey will be undertaken after the leaks have been repaired to affirm no other leaks were masked by the first leak. Remonitoring will only be undertaken prior to the completion of the survey. Communications The following will be adhered to during the course of the Water Distribution System Leak Survey for the City of Elgin: * Daily check-in with the City of Elgin representative for the project prior to starting day's activities. * Any Leak Location Reports will be turned in daily. * Report defective system components such as valves, fire hydrants and curb stops which are noted in the course of carrying out field activities. Traffic Control STPS will follow all traffic safety rules designated by the Illinois Department of Transportation. All survey crews will be trained in traffic control safety. B-4 Final Report Prepare five (5) copies of the final report showing the results of all tests and investigations. The report will include the leak location, type of leak, estimated quantity of leakage found, Leak Location Reports, inventory of defective system components and map errors, along with conclusions and recommendations. Also included with the report will be the water distribution system map. Leaks that were pinpointed during the survey will be noted on the map in their approximate location. It is estimated that the final report will be submitted within four weeks of the conclusion of all field work. Schedule STPS can initiate the Water Distribution System Leak Survey within 30 days after receipt of a notice to proceed. All work will be carried out and completed in a professional, effective and timely manner. It is anticipated that the field work for the City of Elgin Water System Leak Detection Services will take approximately 45 work days. This estimate may be affected by adverse weather conditions. The work will be conducted primarily during normal working hours with additional leak detection being conducted during late evening and/or early morning hours if necessary in areas of high traffic volume. B-5 Equipment, Vehicle And Personnel Equipment The following equipment will be utilized during the course of the Leak Detection Survey: FCS TriCorr 2001 Leak Correlator, or Radcom SoundSens Leak Correlator FCS S30 Surveyor Heath Aquascope Ultrasonic Leak Detector Schonstedt Mac 51 bx Pipe Locator Schonstedt Metal Detector Vehicle The following vehicle is planned to be used on the City of Elgin project: * 2001 Ford Windstar Van; or, * 1997 Ford Aerostar Van; or, * 1996 Ford Windstar Van L C-1 Project Administration Key factors required for successful project management and administration include scheduling, budgeting, and control of costs. Senior STPS personnel evaluate project performance and budget. Corrective action is taken by the Project Manager to comply with project requirements. If project conditions or other needs are found which are significantly different than estimated, City of Elgin representatives will be notified. The Project Manager will meet with the field personnel on a periodic basis to provide a status report on the progress of the study. STPS understands the need to provide quality work and its 104 year history with a high percentage of repeat clients is evidence of this. Each project is checked at key points by review engineers to ensure that the development of data is correct and accurate. The analysis of the data is also reviewed as are all reports prior to their submission to our clients. All reports are reviewed in depth with our clients based upon their needs and expectations.
