SCOPE OF SERVICES
July 2015 to June 2016 Contract Year of the
2014 Combined Sewer Overflow NPDES Permit Compliance Project
The scope of services for the July 2015 to June 2016 Contract Year of the 2014 CSO NPDES Permit
Compliance Project shall be as follows. For clarity, it has been divided into the major components
described in our Statement of Project Understanding and Approach.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
1. Manhole Inspection
a. Continue the annual field inspection of 900 sanitary and combined sewer system
manholes, as outlined in the Request for Proposal. As there are over 9,000 manholes in
the City's combined and separate sanitary sewer systems, it is anticipated that manhole
inspections will be performed for every year of the contract duration. Inspections will be
non-entry to evaluate the conditions of the manhole using a standardized form and rating
system. An inspection report will be completed and filed for each inspected manhole.
The inspections shall also serve as verification of the system layout,manhole location and
line connectivity
b. Input the condition data collected in Item 1.a into the City's maintenance management
system database and make corrections to the system map as necessary to reflect the new
data. This task includes regular communication with the City's Salesforce/Asset Optics
database manager and/or NDPES Permit Project Manager.
2. Sewer System Map Maintenance
a. Perform annual updates to the City of Elgin's sanitary and combination sewer map. The
update information will be obtained from a variety of sources including; City staff, the
manhole inspections and review of Record Drawing and As-Built information. Our firm
will work with the City's NPDES Project Manager as well as with the Manager of the
Salesforce/Asset Optics database to ensure that the base map is based on the most current
and accurate information. It is anticipated that the aerial base map will be provided by
the City in the ArcGIS 10.0 format of the existing system. The map updates performed
as part of this project shall provide information in layers for:
1. Streets and Street Names
2. Structures(Manholes, Diversion, etc.)
3. Structure Numbers
4. Pipe Systems and Sizes
5. Basin Limits
b. Participate in regular quality control reviews with City Staff. Any corrections or updates
noted by the City during these reviews shall be completed within the data profile
described above. The number of quality control reviews may vary but should be kept to
two times per year, at a minimum
3. Maintenance Management System Data Base Maintenance
July 2015 to June 2016 Contract Year of the 2014 Combined Sewer Overflow NPDES Permit
Compliance Project
ATTACHMENT A-1 —AMENDMENT NO. 1
a. Input annual updates based on information from City Staff, manhole inspection reports,
and Record Drawings into the City Salesforce/Asset Optics database. The data required
for each item is listed below:
1. Manhole Number
2. Sewer Main Upstream and Downstream Manhole Numbers
3. Street Name where each item is located
4. Street Address nearest to each Manhole
5. "From-To"Cross Street Names for Sewer Mains
6. Sewer Main Pipe Size
7. Sewer Pipe and Manhole Materials of Construction
8. Construction Date(if available)
9. Sewer Depth(Manhole measure-down)
10.* Manhole Photograph
11.* Electronic Copy of Manhole Inspection Report
*Denotes attribute that was not specifically required in the Request for Proposal,but was
added on the MMS Data Base updates in the latter years of the 2006 CSO NPDES Permit
Compliance Project
b. Complete and/or verify the link between the sewer system map and the informational
database to ensure the attribute information for sanitary sewer pipes and manholes can be
viewed while in the mapping program.
c. Participate in regular quality control reviews with City Staff. Any updates to the database
noted by the City during these reviews shall be completed within the data profile
described above. The number of quality control reviews may vary but should be kept to
two times per year, at a minimum
4. General Mapping Services
a. Provide mapping support for the City of Elgin Public Works Department to produce hard
copy exhibits, field atlases and wall maps as needed. This scope assumes that the level
of support shall be equal to one qualified GIS Technician working onsite with City
equipment for two days each month. The level of support will likely be reduced during
latter years of the contract when majority of the map and database updates have been
completed.
SYSTEM EVALUATION
1. Discharge Monitoring Report Procedure
a. Perform annual updates to the existing XP-SWMM Hydraulic Model to account for recent
sewer separation project, sewer system map updates, etc. These updates will be made to
account for sewer separation projects that were not incorporated into the hydraulic model
during the previous contract year. This task includes conducting isolated spot surveys to
determine sewer and structure elevations at critical locations in the combined sewer
system.
b. Utilize the hydraulic model to simulate the system behavior in a variety of storm events,
including the 2-month, 3-month and 1-year rainfall events defined in Illinois Bulletin 70.
July 2015 to June 2016 Contract Year of the 2014 Combined Sewer Overflow NPDES Permit
Compliance Project
ATTACHMENT A-1 —AMENDMENT NO. 1
At this stage, the model will be calibrated as necessary to match the data from the flow
meters installed at various combined sewer outfall points
c. Review and update the DMR procedure with the new hydraulic simulation for various
rainfall events. Wherever possible, overflow data will be taken directly from flow meter
devices
d. As required by IEPA policy or NDPES Permit conditions, tabulate the combined sewer
overflow events with respect to number of instances, duration of overflow and total
volume of discharged flow.
PERMIT COMPLIANCE
1. Permit Application Assistance
a. Coordinate with IEPA as the City's representative on any new or follow-up information
needed for renewal of the City's NPDES Permit Application. Advise the City on
alternatives, if applicable, during the permit development process.
b. Establish a detailed, step-by-step procedure for the City to follow in order to maintain
compliance with the future NPDES permit. This task includes the following items:
1. Coordinate with IEPA in order to determine the scope of work for additional
studies.
2. Review of system data, specifically the XP-SWMM hydraulic model, in order to
provide recommendations on potential Capital Improvements such as sewer
separation projects. This scope does not include the detailed design analysis of
the projects, as that task is typically part of a separate project.
c. Develop a file and filing system in the office of the City Engineer, sufficient to maintain
all aspects of CSO Permitting and encourage consistent file and project documentation
management. It is anticipated that the following types of information will be included:
1. Electronic file back up of the computerized system map, including instructions
for loading and updating.
2. Detailed instructions on the documentation of violations, illicit discharges and
manhole inspections.
3. IEPA forms with instructions for their use
4. Copies of all pertinent IEPA permits
5. Copies of all compliance documentation
6. Minutes and agendas for all public meetings
7. Publications,industry literature,etc.that can be used to promote public education
on the combined sewer system.
d. Prepare and submit all relevant documentation to the IEPA at the intervals which they are
required. Please note that these documents will typically need to be submitted to the City
for signature prior to the submittal to IEPA.
e. Perform a review of the current ordinances,develop revisions for ordinance improvement,
develop violation and application forms to be used by the engineering and code
inspectors, and develop step-by-step procedure for inspectors.
