Scope of Work “Inspection Truck Data Storage and Integration Project – OLIO & OIM” Background

Atlanta has roughly 2,800 miles of water distribution pipes and appurtenances ranging in size from 2 to 72-inches. The City’s water distribution pipes are constructed mostly of cast or ductile iron, although some system pipes are also concrete and plastic. The older pipes are cast iron, with ductile iron pipes installed beginning around 1960. Distribution pipes convey the City’s treated water from the two water treatment plants to storage tanks located throughout the City and Atlanta’s water system customers. Hydrants are part of the water distribution network in addition to tanks, pipes, valves, residential customer connections and commercial customer connections.

Project Overview

Sewage systems are essential to maintain a high standard of public health and service to the constituents of the City of Atlanta. To ensure the proper functioning and maintenance of the City’s water service architecture and delivery systems, it is important to ensure all elements of the sewage system are in good condition and pipe deterioration and\or damages are identified proactively and corrected quickly. The process and storage architecture are integral to providing a view into this element of the water ecosystem.

The “Inspection Truck Data Storage and Integration Project – OLIO & OIM” will utilize five (5) trucks with two (2) man crews that perform sanitary sewer and stormwater mainline pipe inspections daily throughout the City of Atlanta. These inspections traverse extensive distances and each inspection results in recorded footage used to review, analyze, and store pertinent data. Each video is augmented with metadata specific to inspection location, findings, and other information, then stored in the cloud. Videos will be reviewed by service managers to ensure compliance with regulatory and operational standards.

Scope of Work The vendor will provide technology for citywide inspection services, beginning with the oldest infrastructure sections in each of the four (4) quadrants throughout the city. The areas that are of emphasis and prioritization will be disseminated to the successful vendor based solely on the OLIO Collection Team’s historical failure research, and they include:

· Sanitary Sewer Mains and Manholes – Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections, condition assessments, and defect coding.

· Stormwater Structures – Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections of inlets, basins, culverts, and outfalls to verify structural integrity and hydraulic function.

· Associated Appurtenances – Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections for deficiencies in cleanouts, service connections, and related infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

All inspections shall be coded in compliance with the latest NASSCO (National Association of Sewer Service Companies) standards and delivered in formats for future integration that are compatible with the City’s ESRI GIS Map Interface (GIS); Pearpoint Pipeline Inspection System; and its Asset Management Systems (AMS) - WaterWorks (aka CityWorks). The city desires the sought after PIONEER platform, which is hardware neutral and compatible with all CCTV equipment operated by the City of Atlanta.

· Vendor will possess National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO): PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification); LACP (Lateral Assessment Certification); and MACP (Manhole Assessment Certification) designations.

· Vendor will utilize only NASSCO certified solutions with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted features - Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) - to rapidly process sanitary sewer and stormwater pipeline inspections. Software must possess a Risk and Rehabilitation Recommendation Engine, which also deploys supervised Deep Learning Computer Vision Tools (AutoCode).

· Vendor will provide real-time image feed with HD quality video and photo that identifies structural defects.

· Vendor will provide an organizational structure of how data will be stored (Naming Conventions of footage/summaries). There aren’t any mandated naming conventions or meta data requirements. Recommended Naming conventions should consist of: Work Order Numbers, and the Assigned Group to the work.

· Vendor will provide unlimited cloud-based information storage and unlimited view mode users (Office View), which is included with software license(s). The retention period for said storage will be a minimum of 10 years.

· Vendor will provide live 24/7 on screen support and chat.

· Vendor will provide documented policies and procedures for business continuity, disaster recovery, and annual continuity tests.

· Vendor will qualify and remain compliant with attached:

(Appendix A) - IT Security Policies

· Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a Service Policy

· Cloud Vendor Access Policy

· Vendor Access Policy

· Universal Password Policy

· Sensitive & Confidential Data Handling Policy

· Privacy Policy

· ISS Checklist (upon award)

· GIS Data Sharing Agreement (upon award)

Performance Standards

· Accuracy – NASSCO-compliant coding with less than 2% allowable error. Vendor must have Quality Control Management with policies and procedures for remediation of errors.

· Timeliness – Inspections and reporting must be completed per the City’s project schedule.

· Data Quality – Deliverables must be fully GIS-compatible without additional conversion.

· Safety Compliance – All work must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) policies, City Environmental, Health, and Safety Policies (Appendix B), and confined space/traffic control regulations.

· Responsiveness – Vendor will respond to City inquiries or data clarification requests within two (2) business days. Those events deemed non-responsive will be documented for best management practices with repetitiveness being deemed as breach of contract.

Deliverables

· Inspection Reports – By quadrant, including condition ratings, coded defects, and summary findings.

· Digital Media – Video and photographic records of all inspections, indexed and georeferenced.

· GIS Data Files – Updated datasets compatible with the City’s GIS and AMS platforms.

· GIS Deliverables - According to the following: Geographic Coordinate: WGS 1984; WKID: 4326; Authority: EPSG; Angular Unit Degree: (0.0174532925199433); Prime Meridian-Greenwich: (0.0); Datum: D WGS 1984; Spheroid: WGS 1984; Semimajor Axis: 6378137.0; Semi-minor Axis: 6356752314245179; Inverse Flattening: 298.257223563.

· Prioritized Action Plan – Recommendations for repair, rehabilitation, or replacement.

· Executive Summary Report – Citywide findings highlighting systemic risks and investment priorities.

The final Project Deliverable will be a comprehensive citywide condition assessment that will detail reliable inspection data for long-term capital planning; provide a prioritized roadmap for rehabilitation or replacement of the applicable areas of emphasis; will support regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship; and will reduce service disruptions by enabling proactive preventive maintenance planning.
