SCOPE OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

The US Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District (Corps) requires a Contractor to provide all labor, material, and equipment necessary for condition assessments of the Mel Rieman Recreation Area (MRRA) Visitor Center sewer pipeline and septic holding tank. The MRRA Visitor Center and Campground is a 70-acre facility on the shoreline of Lake Ashtabula, 114th Ave SE, Valley City, North Dakota.

The MRRA septic holding tank has a history of becoming full in decreasing time intervals. Significant Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) of groundwater is suspected. In addition to I/I Inspection, the Contractor must determine the overall condition of the sewer pipeline and septic holding tank. The work includes remote televising and recording via closed-circuit television (CCTV).

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The sewer pipeline runs from the Mel Rieman Visitor Center to a septic holding tank. The pipeline consists of seven (7) straight segments with turns at six (6) manholes. The original pipe was 1021 ft of 8 in.

vitrified clay pipe installed in late 1971. In July 1995, the clay pipe was slip-lined with 6 in. SDR-35 PVC pipe, except for the 240 ft section between MH3 (manhole #3) and MH4.

The 10,000-gallon septic holding tank is a component of a decommissioned sewage treatment system.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

1.3.1 Cleaning

To remove soil or solid deposited materials from a pipe segment when the pipe is less than half-full to full of deposited materials.

1.3.2 Defects

Defects in the pipe, manholes, structures, and services include cracks, separation of joints, collapsed pipe, grade irregularities, leaks, roots, grease buildup, offset joints, reverse grades, obstructions, delamination, missing pipe, restrictions, fractures, and similar structural irregularities.

1.3.3 Entry Point

The leading edge of the access point or the manhole or structure wall where the pipe segment begins. Only the pipe is video inspected from manhole or structure wall to manhole or structure wall and does not include any portion of the manhole or structure.

1.3.4 Exit Point

The point where the downstream access manhole or structure wall is encountered. Only the pipe is video inspected from manhole or structure wall to manhole or structure wall and does not include any portion of the manhole or structure.

1.3.5 Hydraulically Propelled Cleaning Tools

Tools that depend upon water pressure to provide their cleaning force.

1.3.6 National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO)

National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) identifies the generally accepted industry standards for CCTV inspection, observation coding, and certification.

1.3.7 Pipe Segment

The length of pipe from entry point to exit point along the main or service.

1.3.8 Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP)

A CCTV Inspection standardization certification and observation coding system sponsored by NASSCO.

1.3.9 Point Repair

The location of a failure where a repair has occurred.

1.3.10 Re-TV Inspection

Refers to rework for a CCTV inspection that has video interruptions, gaps, or is not continuous.
