FLOW MONITORING 1. Site Selection A. Meter and Rain Gauge Locations: A total of six (6) flow meters and two (2) rain gauges are anticipated, and preliminary locations can be seen in Exhibit D. B. Site Investigations: Upon receipt of the targeted monitoring locations, RJN will perform site investigations for the purpose of determining the viability of each targeted location. Investigations include an evaluation of the hydraulic conditions, access, safety, and other issues that may affect the data quality or sensor survival. If a location is identified as unsuitable, RJN will investigate up to two (2) alternate sites (upstream or downstream) for consideration. RJN will prepare and submit for approval an electronic Site Investigation Report. The Site Investigation Report will include a general site location map, a sketch of the installation, and the site's physical characteristics including pipe diameter, pipe material, manhole depth, and other attribute information. 2. Equipment and Installation A. Gravity Flow Meters: Based on the results of the site investigations, RJN will select equipment suited for the site in order to provide accurate and reliable flow data. RJN will use flow meters designed to measure flow in sanitary sewer pipes under free flow and surcharged conditions. The primary depth sensor will be ultrasonic with a resolution to the nearest 0.01 foot. Each site will also have level measurement redundancy by means of pressure and ultrasonic sensors. The primary velocity sensor will use Doppler technology. B. Rain Gauges: The rain gauge equipment will consist of a data logger and rain gauge tipping bucket. The equipment measures at 0.01 inches resolution. The tipping bucket has a corrosion resistant funnel collector with tipping bucket assembly. RJN will coordinate with the City any issues related to gaining access to buildings for gauge placement. C. Wireless Telemetry: Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) will be provided at each flow monitoring and rain gauge location to remotely collect the data. In the event that certain sites are not conducive for remote telemetry, RJN will manually collect the data throughout the monitoring period. D. Flow Monitor Installation: The sensors will be securely attached to the pipe by means of metal bands or anchoring hardware designed specifically for that purpose. A typical installation includes a primary ultrasonic depth sensor mounted at the crown of the pipe, a redundant pressure transducer depth sensor mounted in the invert, and a Doppler velocity sensor mounted near the invert. The data logger and sensor cables are firmly secured to the manhole walls or steps. E. Data Recoding Interval: All flow meters and rain gauges are synchronized in time to the same clock and will be programmed to collect depth and velocity data at five-minute intervals. F. Initial Depth and Velocity Confirmations: Upon installation and activation of each flow meter, RJN will take manual depth and velocity readings using independent instrumentation to confirm that the in situ monitor yields data representative of actual field conditions. Field crews will also take manual velocity readings of the flow cross-section (i.e., velocity profile) in order to derive an average velocity. All measurements, adjustments, and efforts undertaken during site visits will be recorded in the maintenance log. 3. Flow Monitor and Rain Gauge Maintenance A. Flow Monitoring Period: Flow monitoring will be conducted for a period of sixty (60) days. It is assumed that adequate weather conditions will be observed during the monitoring period to obtain representative dry -weather information. It is also assumed that between four (4) to six (6) rain events of varying intensities will occur during the monitoring period for use in understanding wet -weather flows within the city. B. Data Review: RJN will review the flow and rainfall monitoring data at least twice a week. Trained data analysts experienced in processing and analyzing flow and rainfall data will use various analytical tools, such as hydrographs, scatter graphs and flow balancing methods, to verify the accuracy and the precision of the flow data. The analysis of the data includes monitoring performance issues and identifying data gaps and anomalies. Any equipment service needs will be immediately conveyed to the field service crews. The data will be processed and edited in accordance with the field confirmations to produce final data sets for each site. All data processing efforts ensure that the raw data is preserved. C. Equipment Operation and Maintenance: RJN's qualified field crews will visit each monitor and rain gauge installation, as appropriate, to perform necessary maintenance to the equipment. Maintenance will be carried out on a regular basis and includes calibrating recording equipment, downloading recorded data, analyzing data on site to ensure proper meter function, cleaning the sensor, and replacing any defective equipment. D. Uptime: An uptime of 90-percent for all temporary meters will be maintained. This includes dry and wet weather periods. If the uptime is not met by RJN, the monitoring will be extended to capture the meter days missed at no additional cost to the City. The guaranteed uptime applies to mechanical malfunctions and does not apply to actions beyond the control of RJN, such as vandalism, excessive debris, etc. 4. Equipment Removal A. Notification: RJN will remove all the temporary flow meters and rain gauges at the completion of the 60-day monitoring period if adequate weather conditions have been observed (i.e., dry and wet weather conditions that include at least four (4) storm events of different rainfall intensities). RJN will advise the City if adequate weather conditions have not been observed during the initial 60-day monitoring period. This is to allow the City to consider funding an extended period for flow monitoring, in advance of removal of the temporary flow meters. If the flow monitoring period is extended, then the project schedule will be extended by the same amount of time. 5. RJN Clarity° and Inflow/Infiltration (I/1) Analysis & Tech Memo A. RJN Clarity: Flow data for all meter sites will be viewable on Clarity° along with media collected from each site and field maintenance reports. Clarity° is RJN's secure, proprietary project and data management reporting platform that provides clients accessible data and powerful analytical tools in easily interpreted GIS map format. Live basin data is accessible via most web -capable devices. Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Analysis & Tech Memo: An 1/1 Technical Memorandum will be submitted to the City including summaries of methods used during the data collection; site investigation reports; scatter graphs of depth and velocity; hydrographs including depth, velocity, flow, and rainfall; final tabular flow and rainfall data in Microsoft Excel format. Additionally, a thorough engineering analysis of the dry and wet -weather flows will be performed. This will include dry -weather analysis and infiltration/inflow (1/1) analysis, allowing the City to better understand where within the system are areas to prioritize additional study. A digital copy of the 1/1 Technical Memorandum will be submitted. If hard copies are needed, up to 4 copies of the 1/1 Technical Memorandum will be provided. CONDITION ASSESSMENT 1. Manhole Inspection A. Utilizing industry standard safety procedures and appropriate traffic control, subsurface manhole components will be inspected. Manholes accessible by vehicle will be scanned utilizing 3D Optical Manhole Scanner technology, where applicable. Manholes located within the study not accessible by vehicle will be visually inspected where condition of components and photos of defects will be recorded. Inspections will be conducted according to NASSCO MACP Level 2 standards. B. RJN shall notify the City of manholes that are inaccessible, not found, buried, or believed to be non-existent. RJN's field crew will make a reasonable effort to locate manholes as shown on the provided GIS. The effort will include up to 10 minutes of onsite investigation including a metal detector, probe, and shovel. Manholes found to be buried less than 6 inches below grade in non -paved unobstructed areas shall be uncovered and inspected. If the manhole cannot be located within 10 minutes of arriving onsite, buried in a paved area, or greater than 6 inches below grade in a non -paved area, RJN will be compensated at the cost of an actual manhole inspection. If the City makes accessible or exposes the manhole prior to data delivery deadline, City shall notify RJN. RJN will make a second visit to inspect the manhole at no additional charge. 2. Public Relations and Notifications A. RJN will prepare and deliver notices necessary for the performance of smoke testing. Every reasonable effort will be made to distribute notices two (2) days prior to smoke testing; however, City will allow the RJN to distribute notices up to a minimum of one day in advance of smoke testing. B. RJN may distribute notices up to a maximum of fourteen (14) days prior to smoke testing. If conditions do not allow smoke testing to be performed during this period, Engineer will redistribute notices. If redistribution of smoke notices is required, testing may be performed within one (1) day of noticing. C. RJN, City, City of Fort Worth Fire Department, and City of Fort Worth Police Departments will be notified daily of smoke testing and dyed water testing locations via email. 3. Smoke Testing A. Smoke testing will be conducted using dual axial blowers. Each 12-inch diameter and smaller segment shall be isolated by sandbagging, up to two segments at a time. Smoke testing lengths shall be limited to two-line segments between the upstream and downstream blower locations. Smoke testing will be performed only during dry ground periods. B. Flags shall be placed at observed smoke locations and digital images shall be captured. Smoke defect locations shall be recorded by obtaining GPS coordinates. Private sector smoke defect images shall be entered into the field inspection database. C. Main line defects and service lateral defects shall be carefully scrutinized to ensure that a conservative determination of public vs. private side defects is made. If necessary, the line shall be earmarked for television inspection. 4. Dyed Water Flooding A. Dyed water flooding shall be conducted to verify the existence of inflow and infiltration sources. Dyed water flooding shall be performed at suspected storm sewer cross - connections, streams, creeks, ditches, and other ponding areas that may be contributing to higher levels of inflow. Estimated leakage rates shall be provided for each positive dye test. Water for the dyed water flooding will be provided by City of Fort Worth at no charge to RJN. S. Night Flow Isolation A. RJN will perform flow isolations in cluster areas where high levels of peak infiltration has been identified. Flow isolation consists of isolating incoming flow to a cluster of approximately 1,500 to 2,500 linear feet (If) and taking an instantaneous flow measurement at an outlet of the cluster. This activity is normally performed between midnight and 5:00 am when most of the flow in the sewer is infiltration. RJN will review the results with the City and provide recommendations for follow-up TV inspection. Flow Isolations will be measured for each cluster by subtracting contributing clusters. No plugging of sewer lines is anticipated. 6. Sewer Cleaning and Television Inspection (Ace Pipe Cleaning to perform task) A. Sanitary sewer lines will be cleaned in order to facilitate the televised inspection activities. Standard cleaning rates are based on three passes with a jet cleaner. B. During cleaning operations, sludge, debris, etc. shall be removed from the sewer and disposed of at a location provided by the City. The City shall provide water for the cleaning operation at no charge to RJN. The data shall be provided in digital format. C. If light cleaning proves inadequate, heavy cleaning shall be recommended. Lines approved for heavy cleaning shall be cleaned with mechanical cleaning equipment. If tap removal/root cutting is necessary, it will be recommended to the City. D. Television inspections shall be performed on the non -plastic line segments and line segments which show evidence of deterioration, tested positive during smoke testing, or are critical to the collection system. E. Television inspection will be performed using high quality color equipment and coded using NASSCO's PACP standards. 7. TV Video Review A. RJN will review and analyze the TV Inspection data. Review of the data will consist of viewing the TV footage to ensure that NASSCO PACP standards are met, codes are applied accurately, and the sewer lines identified for TV inspection are either inspected or justification of why it was not inspected is provided. 8. Data Management A. Collect and review existing information including maps, as built records, and other pertinent information. City will provide ArcGIS updates shape files of the wastewater system. RJN shall prepare preliminary field maps for project use from existing City shape files. B. Update the maps as differences are found during the field investigations and provide them to the City. Updates shall include new lines, manholes, and cleanouts and will be provided electronically in the form of shapefiles to be compatible with GIS. C. Data shall be recorded by field crews on RJN's electronic forms for each specified activity. Field inspection data shall be entered into a computerized data management system from which rehabilitation recommendations shall be made. Field inspection data and photos will be provided in digital format to the City. D.

City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: 02/25/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-0141 LOG NAME: 60WW 1/1 REDUCTION PILOT PROGRAM RJN SUBJECT (CD 8, CD 9, and CD 11) Authorize Execution of a Professional Services Agreement, with RJN Group, Inc., in the Amount of $1,800,000.00, from Available PayGo Residuals, for the Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Pilot Program and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance to Effect a Portion of Water's Contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the execution of a professional services agreement with RJN Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,800,000.00 for the Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Pilot Program — Sycamore Creek Basin project (City Project No. 105782); and 2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund, in the amount of $1,800,000.00, from available PayGo residuals, for the purpose of funding the Sycamore Creek Basin Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Pilot Program project (City Project No. 105782), to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2025- 2029 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The Inflow and Infiltration (1/1) Reduction Pilot Program in the Sycamore Creek Basin was identified as a necessary program during the recent update to the wastewater master plan. The 1/1 reduction program focuses on efficiently and accurately collecting condition and performance data to identify capacity and structural issues and develop cost sensitive design plans to remediate 1/1 and address any capacity constraints. The primary goal of this project is to locate potential 1/1 sources, quantify 1/1 estimates per asset, prioritize 1/1 reduction rehabilitation, and creating a bid package to construct the selected 1/1 reduction rehabilitation efforts. The project will include temporary flow monitoring, manhole inspections, smoke testing, dye water flooding, night flow isolations, closed-circuit television inspections, data analysis, conceptual design report, 1/1 reduction design report, and construction bid documents for 1/1 removal. Following the completion of this project, the City will have a complete bid package ready for construction of the prioritized 1/1 reduction plan. Additionally, the City will have a roadmap to continue with 1/1 reduction efforts throughout the City. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year (FY), instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. The action in the Mayor & Council Communication will appropriate funds in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. 60WW 1/1 REDUCTION PILOT PROGRAM RJN Capital BudgetRevised Project FY2025 CIP Change Budget Fund Name Appropriations Authority (Increase / Name Decrease) Budget 56002 - W&S 105782- Capital Sycamore Projects Creek $0.00 This M&C $1,800,000.00 $1,800,000.00 Fund Basin - I/IPPRP Funding is budgeted in the Unspecified All -Funds project, from PayGo residuals, within the W&S Capital Projects Fund, for the purpose of funding the Sycamore Creek Basin Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Pilot Program project.
