REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
INSPECTION OF SEWER MAINS AND MANHOLES
FOR
CAPITAL REGION WATER
APRIL 15, 2015
Capital Region Water (CRW) invites Sewer Service Company (SSC) firms to submit a proposal to perform
a detailed inspection of sewer manholes and Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) outfall structures,
accompanied by a rapid assessment of sewer mains as observed from the manholes/outfall structures to
identify system connectivity, material, size, debris buildups, and general structural condition. Firms must
be experienced in zoom camera inspection of gravity sewer mains and manholes, the National
Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment & Certification Program (PACP)
and Manhole Assessment & Certification Program (MACP). Firms must also be familiar with NASSCO PACP
and MACP (latest version) compliant data collection and integration hardware and software.
After review of all proposals received, CRW may perform interviews prior to entering directly into an
agreement with the selected SSC to perform the work. The agreement will include all provisions of this
RFP (including Appendixes) and the proposal.
GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CRW owns and operates a sewer collection system that consists of approximately 132 miles of sanitary
and combined sewers ranging in size from 8 inch diameter circular pipe to 4 foot - 7 inch by 7 foot
rectangular pipe. Based on the previous work performed by CRW as identified below there will be
approximately 3,210 manholes inspected as part of this project which includes approximately 2,900
sanitary sewer manholes and approximately 310 storm sewer manholes tributary to the combined sewer
system. The system also includes fifty-eight (58) CSO chambers and outfalls.
Work associated with CRW’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) will not be part of this
assignment.
The following work has been previously completed by CRW:
1. Development of ESRI ArcGIS and Cityworks Asset Management Systems to ultimately house
information collected for the sewer system.
2. GPS field data collection and processing (northing, easting and elevation) of visible above grade
sanitary, combined and storm sewer features (manhole covers, inlets and CSO chambers) within
CRW’s sewer system.
3. NASSCO PACP and multi-sensor inspection of interceptor piping including the Front Street, Asylum
Run, Paxton Creek, Paxton Creek Relief, Hemlock and Spring Creek Interceptors (70,550 feet total).
4. NASSCO MACP Level 2 inspection of interceptor manholes (200 total).
5. Interior inspections of known combined sewer regulator chambers and equipment.
6. Visual photo-inventory of accessible CSO outfalls.

In an effort to obtain more information about the collection system CRW is now seeking the services of a
qualified SSC firm to perform inspection of the remaining sanitary/storm sewer manholes and CSO outfalls
structures, and a rapid assessment of the remaining sewer mains (132 miles estimated) utilizing zoom
camera technology and NASSCO PACP/MACP (latest edition) compliant data collection and integration
hardware and software which is also compatible with the Cityworks Asset Management System and ESRI
ArcGIS.

PREPARATION
A.
CONTRACTOR shall insert a measuring rod into the interior of the manhole to verify rim
to invert distance measurements of the manhole, as well as the invert of each adjoining
pipe.
B.
ENGINEER is responsible for obtaining survey-grade accuracy of any inaccuratelylocated manhole, buried manhole and/or manhole discovered in the field by
CONTRACTOR.
C.
CONTRACTOR is solely responsible for all damages resulting from operations.
MODIFIED LEVEL 1 MANHOLE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
A.
Manhole inspections must meet all requirements of a Modified NASSCO MACP Level 1
inspection, as modified herein. The OWNER provided Manhole Inspection Form and all
of its fields must also be completed to meet the requirements of an inspection.
B.
CONTRACTOR shall take digital still photographs of the manhole surface as follows:
1. One close-up photograph of the manhole frame and cover to show overall condition.
Photograph shall be taken of any indications of previous overflows such as water
marks, paper or other debris typical of sewer overflows.
2. A minimum of two “area” photographs of manhole frame and cover showing location
within the roadway, shoulder or easement as appropriate. One photograph shall be
oriented in the direction of the downstream pipe as it flows from the manhole. One
additional area photograph shall be typically taken in the direction of the largest
upstream pipe as it flows into the manhole, generally in the opposite direction of the
first photograph. If any unusual issues are noted, additional photos shall be taken as
necessary used for location purposes only to capture a significant landmark that would
assist OWNER’s staff in locating the manhole in the future. The area photographs
should show the manhole visible in the foreground where possible.
C.
It is the intent of the Scope of Work to inspect the full height of each manhole. If, during
the inspection operation, the camera will not pass through the entire manhole section, notify
the ENGINEER. No additional payment shall be made for multiple set-ups required due
to an obstruction.
1. OWNER makes no guarantee that all of the manholes proposed to be inspected are
clear for the passage of the camera set-up. The equipment, tools and methods used for
securing the passage of the camera are to be at the discretion of CONTRACTOR, with
the approval of ENGINEER.

Adequate lighting must be provided for good quality pictures.
G.
During inspections, structures shall be free of steam, fog, water vapor or other conditions
that will impact the quality of photographs. Blowers shall be used if necessary.
H.
Photograph all significant defects and features of the manhole interior as follows:
1. Photos of any defects within the manhole shall be taken with the component and clock
position identified (NOTE: 6 o’clock shall always reference the lowest pipe that is
LEAVING the manhole). The clock location and approximate depth of the defect shall
be recorded. The CONTRACTOR shall determine the types of defects within the
manhole, and take a photograph of each defect. Each defect should have its own unique
photo associated with it. A single photo file should not be used to represent multiple
photo defects by reference. The manhole cover, adjusting rings, frame, steps, chimney,
cone, wall, bench and channel will be inspected for structural integrity, signs of I/I and
the presence of roots. All documentation shall follow the latest version of the current
NASSCO MACP Exchange format unless specified otherwise by the OWNER. The
version to be used shall be verified with the OWNER before proceeding with the work.
Each manhole shall be coded in accordance with the current NASSCO MACP
standards, and fields should utilize standard MACP codes.
I.
The pictures taken of the entire inside periphery of the manhole shall be clear and visible.
Picture quality and definition shall be to the satisfaction of ENGINEER, and if
unsatisfactory, the equipment shall be removed and no payment made for the unsatisfactory
inspection.
3.03
PIPE INSPECTION WITH DIGITAL ZOOM POLE CAMERA
A.
Each pipe entering and exiting the manhole shall be inspected with the zoom camera
technology. For each incoming and outgoing pipe, the CONTRACTOR shall
measure/identify diameter, pipe material, debris levels and rim to invert measurements to
within a 0.1 foot accuracy. Drop manholes shall have the drops inspected as well.
Modified NASSCO MACP Level 1 inspection fields for pipe connections shall be
populated and available additional inspection fields to be recorded, including but not
limited to:
1. The pipe diameter and verify the pipe material observations if differences are noted
between upstream and downstream manholes.

3. Connecting structure number of manhole or cleanout, service line clock position, stubout clock position, etc.
4. Pipe seal (using approved PACP codes).
5. Observed pipe defects, obstructions, roots, etc. (using PACP codes).
3.04
B.
The camera shall be positioned in the manhole channel to provide maximum illumination
of the pipeline. CONTRACTOR shall zoom down the pipe steadily, stopping at all defects
for condition assessment. If additional zooming is required to visually inspect a defect,
CONTRACTOR shall re-position camera to the centerline of the pipe prior to continuing
inspections.
C.
CONTRACTOR shall re-measure the pipe diameter and verify the pipe material
observations if differences are noted between upstream and downstream manholes.
D.
CONTRACTOR shall take a minimum of one (1) digital still image for each pipe segment
depicting overall visible defects, construction features and service connections, with
additional images as necessary to characterize significant observed manhole/pipe defects
and other unique features.
CLOSEOUT ACTIVITIES
A.
Once the inspection is complete, the field crew shall make certain that the frame is clean
and does not have any debris preventing a proper cover fit. The manhole lid shall be
replaced and any displaced items moved back into place.
B.
CONTRACTOR shall submit, in electronic format, photos, inspection reports, and
databases to ENGINEER in accordance with the contract/agreement including these
specifications.
C.
If digital photos are of such poor quality that ENGINEER is unable to evaluate the
condition of the manhole or locate the sewer connections, CONTRACTOR shall be
required to re-inspect the manhole and provide new digital videos of good quality, at no
additional cost to OWNER.
3.05
INSPECTION SOFTWARE
A.
