The study area for sanitary sewer surcharging is the above plus Bellevue in the area of Cooper to Congdon. City Staff have conducted extensive field investigations of this recurring problem. The investigations to date have found that the intersection experiences street flooding in most heavy rainfall events, and although the flooding is severe(over 12" deep)it appears to be of short duration. This may indicate hydraulic deficiencies in the existing storm sewer which can be resolved by a thorough hydraulic analysis. Our approach to this problem will be to update existing City sewer mapping with as built elevations and inventory of existing facilities. The existing facilities will be evaluated using the latest industry technology to determine if the system has capacity to transport the runoff being delivered to the area. The analysis will consider alternatives such as redirection of runoff to adjacent facilities. The sanitary sewer system in the study area also experiences severe surcharging, to the extent that the manholes may surcharge full and create basement backups. Comments by City staff indicate that this surcharging may not be totally coincidental with the street flooding and there may be other factors involved. Our approach will be to review all the data collected by the City staff and previous sanitary sewer inspection records. We understand that all the structures in this basin have been inspected previously. We will also perform a capacity analysis to determine if the system has capacity for the buildings served, including a grade check of the existing sewer. City staff has done internal televising of the sanitary sewer and has not found significant problems with blockages or line sags. This may indicate a capacity problem or excess infiltration or inflow problem not previously found. All our findings in this study area will be summarized in a written report and recommendations will be made for resolution of the problem. The report will be submitted to and discussed with staff to develop a consensus opinion of the proper approach to relieving the system flooding described. SCOPE OF SERVICES 1. Perform as built survey of storm sewer in project study area. As built survey will obtain elevation (USGS datum) on all mainline manhole rims and inverts, inlet& catch 8 • • basin rims and inverts, and pipe sizes. As built data will be input into the City's ESRI mapping system and used for hydraulic analysis. a. This task includes the Lord's Park Manor Detention Basin. 2. Perform hydraulic capacity analysis of the storm sewers that serve the Cooper and Preston intersection. This analysis will use SWMM hydraulic analysis software and TR55 or Rational method hydrology procedures as appropriate. Based on the hydraulic analysis evaluate solutions for normal rainfall (10 Year Event) and high rainfall (100 Year event) conditions to relieve and/or prevent street flooding in Cooper Av. a. The hydraulic capacity analysis and intersection flooding relieve plan will consider sewer upsizing and redirecting some portion of the runoff from the study area to the Lord's Park Manor Detention Pond. 3. Perform sanitary sewer infiltration and inflow analysis, and system capacity analysis in the study area. This task includes review of smoke testing, dye water testing and video tape data collected by the City, and evaluation of system configuration information available in City records. CEA will field confirm system configuration data. Based on the information available evaluate system capacity and surcharge relieve solutions. The evaluation may include addition testing or investigations to be performed by City staff. 4. Prepare a report to present the study findings and make recommendations for relieving street flooding and sanitary sewer surcharging in the study area. The report shall include cost estimates of proposed improvements. Submit the report to Staff for review and comments. Respond to Staff comments and prepare a final report. 9 COOPER/PRESTON&BELLVUE/COOPER FLOODING STUDY January 2008 February2008 March 2008 Aril 2008 ID Task Name 1/6 1/13 1/20 1/27 2/3 2/10 12/17 2/24 3/2 3/9 3/16 3/23 3/30 4/6 4/13 4/20 4/27 5/4 1 Notice to Proceed 2 As Built Survey 3 Cooper/Preston Storm Sewer Analysis seam 4 Cooper/Preston San.Sewer Analysis 5 Bellvue/Cooper San.Sewer Analysis f• l„; t 6 Meet w/City 7 Prepare Cost Est.&Prel.Report ry 8 City Review Report 9 Incorp City Comments&Submit Final Report `#3 %`N'» Project: 1 Task Progress Milestone Date: 12/17/07 Page 1 Attachment B
