BACKGROUND
The Water and Sewer Utilities Department (Water & Sewer) manages the Sanitary Sewer Condition Assessment Program using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) guidelines. The PACP guidelines are used to inspect the sanitary sewer system, grade defects, and prioritize repairs for approximately 270 miles of pipeline in the City's sewer infrastructure. The defects are graded on a scale of 1 to 5 based on the significance of the defect, with 1 being minor and 5 being the most significant. The City's current concentration under the repair program is to address defects that are rated 5 with the greatest consequence of failure.
Water & Sewer Department staff perform sewer line spot repairs at locations that require less complex repair work. Repairs that are more complex due to factors such as pipe size, pipe depth, flow, location, traffic control or an alternative type of repair method are referred to the Department of Public Works (DPW) to design and develop construction bid documents for a public works contract.
Council previously approved a design professional services agreement with Mott MacDonald Group, Inc. to prepare the bid documents for the Sanitary Sewer Condition Assessment Repairs - Package 1 Project (Project) for proposed repairs to the sewer collection system along 41 pipeline segments at various locations citywide.
