C. Liquid that is properly decanted from the waste material can be drained into the pipeline system after obtaining City approval.

D. Unless otherwise provided for in the price schedule of the bid form, all costs associated with the removal, draining, loading, transporting, and disposal of debris and waste materials generated by the cleaning operation shall be considered incidental to the cleaning of the manholes and structures, and therefore considered included in the Unit Prices bid for cleaning.

C. Documentation: Documentation of the television inspection shall be prepared by the Contractor at the site daily. The City shall observe that documentation (entering voice data on the video USB flash drive and preparing computer generated inspection logs) is being properly, accurately and legibly done during the TV inspection of each manhole and structures. The City shall sign the Contractor’s daily logs as evidence that the work was observed.

D. Operating Personnel: Television inspection video operation shall be conducted by personnel certified by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) and Manhole Assessment and Certification Program (MACP).

E. Digital photographs and inspection logs of each structure identified to be rehabilitated may be completed in lieu of the TV inspection requirements. Pre- and post-rehabilitation photographs are required. The camera for taking photographs shall be a minimum of 10 mega pixels and proper lighting and complete coverage of each structure shall be required.

F. Payment Request Submittals: The Contractor shall provide copies of the audio-video or digital photograph USB flash drives, and the Inspection Logs to the City with each Pay Request.

PART 2 PRODUCTS – NOT USED

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.01 SYSTEM FLOW CONTROL

A. The Contractor shall divert the upstream system flow around the manhole or structure being cleaned and televised, as necessary, and discharge the intercepted flow to a downstream manhole or other suitable outlet. Bypass set-up and operation shall be as specified in the Technical Specifications.

B. Where manholes and structures are determined by the City to be of a critical nature and cannot be by-passed during normal work hours, cleaning and televising work shall be required at low flow periods, which may include nighttime hours.

C. If system flow is minimal and cleaning and televising can be performed in a timely manner, bypassing may not be required.

D. The use of an internal bypass pipe, properly installed and operational, may be approved by the city. The Contractor must demonstrate that the method used will not interfere with the cleaning, televising, and assessment work to be performed.

E. Interruption of Sanitary Sewer Flows:

1) The Contractor shall place informational door hangers on customer’s doors forty-eight (48) hours prior to commencement of work in a particular area. The Contractor shall make every effort possible to notify each customer whose service may be affected by the cleaning and televising operations.
