STATEMENT OF WORK

Toe Drain Video Inspections and Sediment Removal

Project Location:

Taylorsville Lake 2825 Overlook Rd Taylorsville, KY 40071

General Requirements The contractor shall furnish all personnel, equipment, supplies and materials necessary to video inspect entire toe drain, remove sediment between Manhole #1 and Manhole #2, and video inspect between Manhole #1 and Manhole #2 after sediment removal, and options. Prices should include mobilization & de-mobilization, fuel, labor, material and equipment. The contractor’s work and responsibility shall include all planning, programming, administration, management, supervision, communications and inspection necessary to assure that all work is conducted in accordance with the contract requirements and all applicable Federal, State and Local laws and regulations. All work shall be performed in strict compliance with the attached specifications and all other terms and conditions incorporated herein.

Statement of Work:

The objective of this Statement of Work (SOW) includes video inspections of the entire toe drain systems, remove sediment between Manhole #1 and Manhole #2 at Taylorsville Lake. The video inspections equipment used shall enable the contractor to video inspect the full pipe and isolate specific areas of potential concern. The contractor shall coordinate inspection day with USACE to ensure a USACE employee with certifications from the National Association of Sewer Service Companies’ (NASSCO) in the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) is able to attend the inspection.

a. Project Description:

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the condition of the existing toe drain system and to remove sediment from the toe drain and video inspect between Manhole #1 and Manhole #2 after sediment removal. Options include removing sediment and video inspecting the other two segments of the drainage system. The toe drain is a part of the dam’s internal drainage system designed to control seepage and pore water pressures within the dam. This inspection will evaluate the condition of the pipe material and identify pipe defects, as well as identify sedimentation within the existing pipe system. Controlling these parameters increases the stability of the downstream slope against sliding and prevents erosion.

b. Site Access and Trafficability:

Site access requirements shall be obtained and adhered to by the contractor. The contractor will be able to use limited access paved roads in the vicinity of the manholes but should visit the site prior to verify current conditions. The contractor will be required to restore site to original conditions as described below.

Description of Services for Toe Drain Video Inspections:

a. Toe Drain Locations:

The location of the toe drains, and access points are shown on exhibits provided in this SOW.

b. Inspection Procedures:

The approximate distance of the toe drain is four hundred twenty feet (420’). Toe drain is 18-inch perforated corrugated metal pipe in the collection system (MH1 to MH2 and MH2 to MH 3), and 24-inch bitumen coated corrugated metal pipe in the discharge pipe (MH2 to outlet). The contractor is responsible for the verification of exact distance. Physical inspection and cleaning should occur between June and August to eliminate need for dewatering/by passing pipe segments. The contractor shall initially CCTV camera inspection to document the approximate amount and location of sediment/debris within the pipes.

This initial camera inspection is intended to be a cursory inspection to provide information related to the performance of the existing toe drain systems.

• Pipes will be inspected using CCTV cameras.

• Inspection date(s) will be coordinated with the TPOC to occur during low flow. Physical inspection and cleaning should occur between June and August to eliminate need for dewatering/by passing pipe segments. In the event there is more than 3 inches of water in the invert of the pipe, the pipe will need to be dewatered prior to video inspection.

• The flow rate obtained at the outlet on 12April2023 was approximately 5 gallons per minute.

Precipitation totals at the project site since 1April2023 totaled 0.48” and occurred on 1April2023 (0.37”) and 7April2023 (0.11”).

1) An inspection system specifically designed and constructed for pipe inspection shall be used. The

CCTV camera shall be capable of panning 360° and tilting 270°. The camera is positioned in the center of circular pipes. Lighting for the CCTV camera shall be suitable to allow a clear picture of the entire periphery of the pipe. The camera shall be capable of operating in 100% humidity conditions. The minimum acceptable camera resolution is 720p. The CCTV monitor and other components of the CCTV system shall be capable of producing a color picture/CCTV quality to the Corps of Engineers satisfaction.

2) The CCTV camera needs to move through the pipe at a constant rate, stopping to permit proper documentation of the pipe's condition for coding. The CCTV camera shall not move at a speed greater than 25 feet per minute. Obtain a still picture (color jpeg format) of all significant defects observed during inspection. Record segment, location along pipe, clock position, time and defect code for each picture. Obtain a still photograph coaxial with each lateral. The CCTV camera shall have to ability to fully stop traversing and record a 360° view of each pipe joint.

3) During the inspection the following information shall be clearly and continuously displayed on the periphery of the screen, monitor and CCTV recording: starting location ID, ending location ID, and distance from starting location. If inspection of an entire pipe segment cannot be completed due to a collapse, excessive deformation, debris, intruding connections, obstructions or large displaced joints, move equipment to another access location in the opposite direction (if possible).

Advise COR immediately if the complete pipe segment cannot be inspected. Track all locations where a complete inspection is not obtained and clearly document the length of pipe not inspected, location, segment, distance from starting location, etc.

4) The contractor will provide a separate report for each segment of the toe drain: MH1 to MH2, MH2 to MH3, and MH2 to outlet.

c. Sediment Removal:

Once the initial video inspection is complete the removal of sediment between Manhole #1 and Manhole #2 is required. If sediment was identified between Manhole #3 and Manhole #2 or between Manhole #2 and the outlet during the initial video inspection, the COR may exercise additional contract options to clean these additional segments with no impact to period of performance. All sediment and debris shall be removed from reach segment(s) and disposed following federal, state, and local laws. Pipes shall be cleaned as required to clearly expose the interior surface of the pipe. Cleaning shall be performed by utilizing a combination cleaning truck and shall consist of up to 3 passes. The pipe shall have no more than 3 passes of cleaning. To ensure the integrity of the pipe the maximum water pressure utilized for cleaning shall not exceed 1,800 psi. The contractor shall verify with the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) that cleaning has been accomplished. Once all sediment and debris has been removed a post cleaning inspection shall be completed on all segments that were cleaned.

d. Pipe Condition Coding:

Pipe condition coding for pipes subjected to CCTV inspection is done in line with NASSCO PACP or equivalent rating system. A Government Representative will complete the pipe coding for this work.

During the video inspection, there is information that should be noted in order to ensure proper coding can be completed by the Government Representative. The information called out includes, but is not limited to the following:

o Structural condition and deformation of the pipe walls o Segment length (from inside walls of adjacent manholes) o Blockages or obstructions o Condition of joints and pipe walls o Standing water/sag conditions o Infiltration/exfiltration o Fluctuations in water level o Size, location and condition of sewer laterals with the clock position

Distance measurements are referenced to the nearest 0.1 foot, using a readily identifiable baseline such as a headwall, manhole, or flap gate.

e. Site Restoration:

Cleanup of work and storage areas shall be performed upon completion of work. All trash or debris shall be disposed of in accordance with all federal and state requirements. Care shall be taken to leave the project sites in the same condition as prior to inspections. Additionally, any disturbed grass areas shall be restored to original condition.

Grass Seed/Fertilizer/Straw Matting

• If any turf is damaged due to equipment usage the following shall be used by Contractor to correct damage. Topsoil shall be used as backfill to ensure that grass can be properly established and supported in the backfilled areas.

• Immediately prior to spreading the grass seed/fertilizer on the graded backfill an inspection by the Government Representative shall be completed and no material shall be placed thereon until that area has been approved.

• The Contractor shall seed, fertilize, and place straw matting on the backfilled area. Straw matting shall be stapled/anchored per the manufacture’s specifications. Areas shall be seeded according to the following seed mixture and applied (at a rate of 4-6 pounds per cubic yard):

25% Kentucky Bluegrass (1 Variety) 25% Perennial Ryegrass (1 Variety) 25% Annual Ryegrass (1 Variety) 25% Creeping Red Fescue

• If similar mix is used, it shall be approved by Government Representative prior to application.

• All fertilizer used shall be 12-12-12.

Paved areas are to be cleaned to remove tracked mud and debris as necessary. Site cleanup shall be performed to the satisfaction of the TPOC/Lake Manager.

f. Deliverables:

Submit two copies of the following items within 2 weeks following completion of inspection activities:

o Clearly labeled and organized electronic inspection videos and still pictures (jpeg) on CD, DVD, or external hard drive.

o Electronic (pdf) and hard copy inspection logs with the following information:

o A narrative report summarizing the pipe inspection location, start and end points, conditions of the inspection, equipment used, and general condition of the pipe.

o Date of the inspection o Name of the dam and as-built stationing of the pipes being inspected o Coordinates of the inlet and outlet locations for each pipe segment inspected. Coordinates shall be in Latitude/Longitude and to six-decimal accuracy.
