The City has recognized the need to determine the condition of these vital sewers and develop recommendations for a long term capital improvement plan As a result of these needs the City has initiated an Interceptor Condition Assessment Program (ICAP) for the large diameter interceptor sewers. The City has awarded two contracts for initiation of the ICAP. Contract 1: Large Diameter Sanitary Sewer CCTV, Sonar and Laser Inspection This contract is for advanced inspection of large diameter sewers was awarded to Ace Pipe Cleaning. The contract includes inspection of the interceptors using HDTV inspection, Sonar Inspection, and 3-D Laser Profiling technology Contract 1 includes inspection of approximately 200,000 linear feet of sewer. Contract 1 includes the ability for the City to authorize up to 3 annual contract options for renewal that would total up to 750,000 linear feet of inspection with an estimated cost of $3.4 million. The ICAP Inspection will be implemented city-wide Contract 2: Large Diameter Sanitary Sewer Cleaning. It is for cleaning of the large diameter sewers and was also awarded to Ace Pipe Cleaning. Contract 2 also provides for an authorization by the City and up to 3 additional annual contract renewal options at a cost of $2 4 million. Sewers found during the inspection Contract 1 with excessive amounts of debris will be cleaned under Contract 2. The Cleaning Contract 2 will also be implemented city-wide. The City of Fort Worth selected White Rock Consultants and sub -consultant Freese and Nichols to provide engineering services and manage above Contract 1 and Contract 2 for the original award and subsequent first renewal.

DISCUSSION: On April 30, 2007, the City submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) its Sanitary Sewer Overflow Corrective Action Plan. The Plan includes conduct preventative maintenance cleaning and condition assessment of large diameter sanitary sewer mains, known as Interceptor Condition Assessment Program (ICAP). This is a citywide proactive program with the goals of identifying and eliminating potential operation and maintenance issues and pipe structural failures before they occur. Within the Fort Worth wastewater collection system, there are approximately 263 miles of large diameter pipes that are equal to or greater than 24-inch in diameter. It is anticipated that an 8-year program will be required to complete the assessment of all large diameter interceptors. On April 13, 2010 (M&C C-24174 and C-24175), the City Council authorized the award of two (2) contracts under the ICAP program to Ace Pipe Cleaning, Inc. to perform pipe cleaning, and to conduct sonar, three-dimensional laser and high -definition television inspection of large diameter sanitary sewer mains. The engineering services to be performed during the two-year contractual term consist of managing contractor's activities under above contracts, and develop work plans, procedures, methodologies and criteria to assessment pipe condition. Furthermore, the engineer will integrate their findings and assessment results with the Wastewater Master Plan capacity recommendation into a multi -year capital improvements plan. A waiver of the M/WBE subcontracting/supplier goal was granted by the M/VVBE Office for this contract due to negligible subcontracting or supplier opportunities. This project affects ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Water and Sewer Fund.
