5 Experience and References

A. Discussio es providing SSES Servin of Firm experience in working with Government Agenci ces. perience and resources to help with the complex regulatory issues t Decr

gencients

JJG has the ex including Consen ee experience, SSES programs, and audit experience for negotiating with State and Federal regulatory a es. Our staff has worked with these agencies and regional professional groups to write guidance docum for performing system evaluations, developed project plans and implementation plans with our clients for review and approval by EPA and State Agencies. Being based in Atlanta, we have a good working relationship with EPA Region 4 staff to develop negotiated solutions. We have included a limited number of project summaries below due to space limitations. In addition to these summaries JJG has worked with Chattanooga, Memphis, Frankfort, KY, Portland, TN, Hallsdale Powell Utility District, and First Utility District, TN to complete various sewer assessments, hydraulic models, SORPs (sewer overflow response plans) and CMOM audits and developed programs to satisfy regulatory concerns and improve operations. For the Clean Water Atlanta program, JJG led hydraulic modeling and rehab project development and many other projects related to the city’s Consent Decree. Our $7 million I/I reduction and CIPP rehabilitation with Fulton County, GA, and $30 million water and sewer rehab program in the Old Town basins for Columbus, GA, helped those jurisdictions avoid regulatory fines and demonstrated JJG’s ability to work together with municipalities and environmental agencies to prevent further environmental challenges.

JJG’s broad sewer system and regulatory experience is complemented by that of our team members. Both Hydromax and CES have been involved with many successful SSES programs. An advantage that Hydromax has is that they have worked for MSD and know its system. Additionally, Hydromax recently worked in the Lexington‐Fayette Co. East Hickman basin, smoke testing from September 2008 through November 2008 on 522,472 ft of mainline gravity sewers comprising the six sub‐sewersheds; over 1,100 defects were identified and documented. CES has extensive experience that will be brought to this team by Vic Okes, now stationed in Lexington, who has managed CCTV inspections for over 3 million feet of sewers.

B. List of Comparable Projects and References Ultimately an SSES is all about the data—the quality of it and what you can do with it. The JJG approach to SSES is data‐centric, maximizing the use of data and, therefore, the benefit to the client. This is demonstrated by our work at Hallsdale‐Powell Utility District (HPUD), our first example below ‐ this program’s success is indicative of what Louisville MSD can expect from JJG.

Preventative Maintenance and Inspection Program HallsdalePowell Utility District, Knoxville, Tennessee

JJG was tasked with developing and managing multiple contractors conducting field inspection services, such as smoke testing, manhole inspections, cleaning and closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection of over 990,000 LF of sanitary sewer pipeline and over 1,700 manholes in less than 24 months. The results of these inspection tasks were captured in electronic format then integrated back into the Client’s GIS utilizing Microsoft Access and ESRI ArcGIS software products. After integration into the client’s GIS, JJG performed extensive analysis of the inspection results and prioritized areas for


rehabilitation based on the extent and severity of the defects waction projects were then developed to maximize the reduction of I/I and eliminate chronic sanitary sewer overflows within the Client’s collection system. JJG’s holistic approach to developing, implementing, and managing this program has resulted in an annual savings of over $500,000 in the Client’s Investigation Services budget.

FY 2006 Sanitary Sewer Improvements First Utility District, Knoxville, Tennessee JJG was tasked with helping the client develop a capital improvement program for rehabilitating sanitary sewers using CIPP rehab methods. This entailed developing concepts and alternatives for a full range of rehab services including construction support. The project originally began as a pilot program through selection of a well‐qualified CIPP contractor using an evaluated bid process. The initial scope of work included the CIPP rehab of 6,500 LF of 8‐inch and 10‐inch pipelines in areas selected by the client’s staff. Based on initial success, the client expanded work scope and extended the project over a two‐year period to include the rehab of over 65,000 LF of 8‐inch to 18‐inch pipelines. Most notable of the rehab efforts was the successful CIPP lining of an existing 10‐inch concrete pipeline located along heavily travelled Kingston Pike, a line that had long been subjected to highly‐corrosive hydrogen sulfide gases discharging of a major pump station force main. Deterioration of the pipe was so severe that concrete had been eaten away to the point the rubber o‐ring gaskets had fallen down into the sewer flow. Because of the location of this line along the far westbound lane and the existence of an 8‐inch high‐pressure gas main and 6‐inch water main directly above the 14‐foot deep sewer line, open cut replacement was not viable. The CIPP rehab success of this pipeline resulted in a huge cost savings to the District as well as prevented possible collapse of a major transportation asset. An additional service provided by JJG has been to capture the post‐inspection CCTV inspection videos of the rehabilitated pipelines and integrate these into the client’s GIS for archival and maintenance purposes.

Clean Water Program Management SSES Evaluation & Rehabilitation Atlanta, Georgia JJG was retained by the Clean Water Atlanta Program Management Team (PMT) to assist with the sewer modeling and sewer system evaluation resulting from the combined wastewater/ stormwater system Consent Decrees forcing the City to make major upgrades to its sanitary and combined sewer collection systems to




control the frequency of combined sewer overflows, eliminate capacity‐related and maintenance related sanitary overflows. The program covers a large array of tasks including SSES, Sewer Rehabilitation Design, Hydraulic Modeling, Capacity Certification, and Capital Improvement (capacity relief) Projects.

As part of the modeling effort, JJG provided several staff that constructed hydraulic models from survey data using XP‐SWMM software, calibrated the models using rainfall and flow data, and evaluated the system capacity based on projected design conditions. The models were also used to develop and recommend project alternatives at the concept level with some project alternatives proceeding to pre‐design and final design levels. JJG also trained City staff and other PMT consultants on using XP‐SWMM.

On the SSES and Sewer Rehabilitation task, JJG staff assisted in CCTV data review prior to final acceptance. The review compared CCTV video to written defect logs recorded by subcontractors—data later used to evaluate each sewer’s condition and select a suitable rehab methodology. Additionally smoke test data and visual/photographic inspection results were used to evaluate the condition of and select suitable rehab approaches for manholes. JJG supplied the Rehabilitation Design Manager. Rehab design included evaluating system condition, recommending rehab approaches to individual assets, responding to client and other stakeholders’ information requests, developing written design guidelines, and developing and applying QA/QC process for completed designs. This enabled staff to develop a condition assessment approach based on NASSCo PACP/MACP standards. Force main and gravity sewers are prioritized according to individual as well as collective defect ranking, i.e. both the severity and frequency of occurrence of each defect and the impact of failure on system performance will also be incorporated into the ranking.

Assistance in the Capital Improvement (Capacity Relief) Projects has included developing population and sewage flow (demand) projections using various data sources. It also includes technical evaluation and recommendations of alternative solution for various parts of the wastewater collection system including transmission lines, pump stations and siphons. The role also included the project alternatives development to eliminate capacity limitations as well as the generating project costs and scheduling. Assessment Methods: Closed Circuit Television, 3D Laser/ Sonar, Smoke Testing, Manhole Inspection Reports, Visual inspection/excavations, Flow Monitoring, Dynamic Hydraulic Modeling, Operation, maintenance, repair history.

Temporary Flow Monitoring and Hydraulic Assessment Study for West Knox Utility District. Knoxville, Tennessee JJG developed a temporary flow monitoring and hydraulic assessment program to assist FUD in undertaking a long‐term collection system preventative maintenance and inspection program. JJG identified basins containing significant I&I sources and assisted the client as a maintenance program was developed to do further targeted field inspections. JJG acquired and managed the services of a flow monitoring sub‐consultant to install and maintain 17 monitors (gravity and pump station monitors) and two rain gauge stations for a period of 90 continuous days. JJG conducted all quality control and data reporting tasks, developing net and normalized rainfall dependant infiltration and inflow (RDII) graphs of all basins to determine each basin’s peak I&I contribution. Using data obtained from the study, a capacity assurance program was developed and integrated into the client’s GIS.

Patton Street and 17th Street Rehabilitation, Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky The Patton and 17th Street Rehabilitation was very unique due to the configuration, construction materials, and lateral service concentration found in both sewers. Due to an exorbitant number of service taps in the sewers, a decision was made to replace three manholes in strategic locations along the sewer runs in order to minimize processing (curing) times for the CIPP and to reduce potential service interruptions to District’s customers. Project plans and specifications were developed including CIPP specs requiring use of an enhanced composite resin system for structural integrity, a protocol for identifying and investigating more than 100 service taps, public notification as well as necessary excavation for manhole replacement and water line relocation. In addition, CIPP liner design parameters were established and a design template was prepared by JJG for use as a benchmark for subsequent contractor submittals. Replacement of three manholes required protection against total collapse of the structures or sewer line before any rehabilitation could begin. JJG’s engineers specified reinforcement fabrics and concrete footings to shore up the pipes at the manholes during the replacement. JJG provided construction administration and inspection services for this project as well.

Management and

Organizational Approach

A. 0BFirm Understanding of SSES Project(s) JJG has assembled an experienced team of professionals to perform this important work with Louisville MSD.

Our team includes Louisville-based firms Hydromax, Dunaway Engineering, Messier & Associates, and EHI as

well as CES and IES. The team members have worked together on similar projects in the past and most have

worked with JJG. This team approach is organized so it will provide the MBE/WBE participation to meet

Louisville goals for their Diverse Works program. The JJG approach includes a mentoring program using lead

supervisors in overseeing and developing MBE/WBE firms.

5B1. Project Mobilization JJG’s project team will meet with MSD initially to discuss the objectives of the project and review prior

issues. Known constraints, data needs, and concerns will be presented by both parties. JJG’s team will

discuss the scope of work and present a Project Management Plan at this meeting for review and critique.

The Project Management Plan will map the progression of work as outlined in this proposal. Louisville

MSD will provide JJG the following background information (as applicable and available) for the specific

watersheds/assignments made:

LOGIC GIS mapping with manhole locations, storm sewers, and sanitary sewers. Known sanitary

sewer pipe locations, diameter, length, type, age, and present condition.

Listing of known overflow locations within the system as well as suspected line “bottlenecks.”

Pertinent topographical features and other information potentially impacting an inspection of the

system manholes.

Prior and current flow monitoring data, I&I or SSES or other reports completed in the project area

Other pertinent information specific to the project background

This information will be further used when determining appropriate rehabilitation methods. As necessary,

manholes will be raised or uncovered by City staff to locate and provide access for field activities.

6B2. Collect and Review Existing Data The focus of this task will be to evaluate the existing data and reports previously completed and assessing

which data will be suitable for use in the SSES investigation. Data that is found to be accurate and

supports I/I and SSO identification and quantification will be utilized as applicable. This data review will

include those previous reports and investigations outlined in the RFP. This review will identify additional

data and field activities necessary to meet the objectives of MSD.

JJG staff will tabulate the results of the review and outline existing data to be utilized and the additional

data needs for each of the sewer-sheds. This effort will also assist in prioritizing and managing the

additional field activities initially based on existing data.

1. Sub-basin Delineation and Prioritization

Based on the findings of the flow monitoring, modeling, and field investigations, provide a map

outlining the priority areas that directly impact the SSOs and WWTP bypasses.

Tabulate and summarize this information for the SSES.

2. Pump Stations



3. GPS manholes

7B 3. Flow Monitoring Installation and Operations Confirm the location and installation of the flow meters with MSD will include reviewing the work plan,

QA/QC and data entry, and maintenance of the meters. It should be noted that we will post the raw flow

monitoring data on a website within 3+/- days from collecting the information in the field and MSD will be

given access rights. Meters would be serviced every 7 to 10 calendar days. This work would also include

these standard deliverables as part of the project:

Site installation reports including summary of any installation issues encountered in the field, scatter plot interpolation, and peak flows observed.

Raw and polished data at the completion of the flow monitoring cycle.

Monthly hydrographs and scatter plots.

It should be noted that it will take approximately 45-60 days to provide the final electronic data sets once

the flow monitoring is completed. Flow monitoring site reports will be submitted to MSD. The reports will

include information on site conditions during the monitoring period, any data corrections that were

required and associated reasons for corrections.

Nighttime flow isolation will be performed in locations to identify priority areas upstream of the flow

monitoring sites. These sites will be selected after reviewing both the existing reports and data and new

flow monitoring data.

We understand that MSD will be responsible for installing and collecting data from rain gauges. Our

approach if this was a part of our scope would be following installation of the gauges, data would be

uploaded from each site weekly and maintenance performed on the equipment every 7-10 days.

84. Field Investigation/Manhole Inspection and GPS Manhole inspections and GPS mapping will be performed by a two person crew to minimize trips. Manhole

inspections will be performed from the surface using the Hansen inspection form provided by MSD. In

general the procedure that will be used is (information will be collected & entered into the Hansen system):

1. Erect proper traffic control measures.

2. Take an area picture to give general manhole location and get the GPS coordinate (x and y location only) +/- 1 meter.

3. Open manhole lid and take picture looking down into the manhole; inspect manhole frame and lid.

4. Descend into manhole, or use a camera to help evaluate the type of construction material, evaluate the structural condition of the manhole and pipe connections, and determine the sizes of all pertinent structures.

5. Digitally photograph any identified structural defects and all incoming and outgoing sewer pipes.

6. Measure to the invert of each of the incoming and outgoing lines from the top of the manhole rim.

7. Close manhole lid and remove traffic control.

9B 5. Smoke Testing/Dye Water Flooding Smoke testing includes:

1. The production and distribution of smoke test notices to property owners, businesses, fire



departments, and other agencies as determined by MSD.

2. The actual smoke testing using a 4,000 CFM blower and non-hazardous liquid smoke. Two blowers will be used when smoking sewers larger than 30 inches diameter to maximize the chance of finding leaks.

3. Collecting GPS points of the manholes and the smoke test leaks (the GPS equipment will provide the X and Y coordinates within 1 meter +/-).

4. Generating an electronic report for each sewer segment tested and an electronic report summarizing all of the smoke testing findings.

5. A composite map showing all leaks found and pipes tested based on the existing GIS data frame.

Smoke testing determines if a downspout or driveway drain is connected to the sewer system. This type of

leak typically ties into the sewer through the service lateral, but confirmation is required. Dye water

flooding is typically follows testing a storm sewer / drainage ditch that shows potential I&I during smoking.

10B 6. CCTV Inspections We will be performing the CCTV using NASSCo PACP-certified operators and the PACP certified software

programs. The CCTV effort typically assumes light cleaning will be performed prior to CCTV (up to three

passes with a jetter nozzle and vactoring the debris from the line). Provisions for heavy cleaning or root

cutting will be made in agreement with MSD staff. JJG’s background in working with various PACP

compliant CCTV software packages such as Granite XP and Sub-Cam allows us to enhance the CCTV

efficiency by preparing and providing current asset information to whatever PACP software the contractor

chooses to use. Because of JJG’s experience in these packages, we are able to leverage MSD’s data to the

maximum extent and ensure consistency in the data acquired during SSES activities. For example, the

manhole inspection data will be used in directing CCTV inspection efforts. The particular advantage here is

that manholes will have already been located and inspected, which enable the CCTV crews to work

unhindered by buried manhole or erroneous IDs.

11B7. Defect Data Input and Evaluation All collected data will be imported and incorporate into MSD’s GIS and Hansen system using applicable

inspection forms. JJG will use a series of procedures and proprietary queries for reviewing the defect data.

These procedures and queries will ensure a high level of efficiency and correspondence between all

sources of data (i.e. smoke testing, CCTV, manhole inspection, etc.) All the defect information will be

graphically represented using MSD approved GIS software. JJG has procedures in place that streamline the

importing of field data to the GIS. After the data is loaded in the GIS, it can be viewed graphically by facility

or defect type and severity using standard GIS queries. In addition, each defect will be assigned some

volume of I&I so that quantities removed can be estimated for regulators. JJG utilizes the Asset

Rehabilitation Analysis Tool (Asset-RAT™) to analyze the defect data and assign the most suitable

rehabilitation method. In addition, the tool also calculates the cost of rehabilitation for each asset and the

bid quantities for each budget item. It also provides Crystal Reports and bid forms. The Asset-RAT™ is fully

customizable to MSD’s needs, particularly to mirror MSD’s System Capacity Plan (SCAP). For example, the

Asset-RAT™ logic can be customized to set priority rankings for rehabilitation alternatives based on the

preferences and conditions found in Louisville.

12B8. Final Report



JJG has delivered many similar comprehensive SSES reports and can fulfill all the deliverables of the RFQ.

Of note, Louisville MSD has an extensive GIS database of its buried assets that will be updated as a result

of this project. JJG can provide support to Louisville MSD to develop attribute fields and other features

that will make the information developed from the I/I survey easily imported into the database and

displayable in the mapping platform. JJG worked with HPUD Knoxville, Tennessee, to do a similar effort

where the GBA Master Series ran as an overlay program to the ESRI GIS platform—the data can also be

exported to spreadsheet software. This is JJG’s Asset RAT program, which cost-effectively will manage the

extensive amount of data collected from the SSES field activities and assignment of rehabilitation methods.

This program will evaluate priorities, alternatives evaluation, cost estimate for individual projects, allow

graphic presentation into GIS (CCTV videos/photos, field report files, queries), developing quantity

calculations for bid documents for rehab projects and develop CIP costs for MSD’s sewer rehab program.

1BB. Project Management and Administration Effective project management requires a management plan for proper control and successful completion

of any project. The preparation of a comprehensive project plan will be one of our first tasks and will be

the basis of the team’s work, describing the activities, schedule, organizational relationships, lines of

communication, and objectives. Protocols will be established to provide standard data collection

consistent with the SSES Work Plan, QA/QC requirements, and management of the data integration into

the GIS. The GIS will be utilized to store all key data elements for use in queries and prioritizing field

activities and generating data reports of findings. The Hansen data forms will be entered into a Neztek

database for integration into the GIS platform for use in queries and prioritizing field activities and

generating data reports of findings.

JJG will provide overall project management to coordinate the project team, field contractors, and address

the coordination/communication needs for the project. JJG’s project manager will be provided to oversee

the field activities of the Contractors and general coordination with MSD. Review of JJG’s and the

contractor’s progress, budgets, and schedule will be performed at monthly progress meetings to assist

MSD and JJG in managing the project.

2BC. Public Outreach Ed Holmes with EHI will work with JJG Communications staff to address this key part of the project. Public

outreach for sewer evaluations is vital to creating community support for infrastructure improvement. This

is particularly true with smoke (and to a lesser degree, dye) testing where smoke may emanate from pipe

cracks, manholes, and other sewer structures on properties. The biggest problem arises when property

owners are absent and water in plumbing traps in homes and other buildings evaporates leaving a direct

path for the smoke to enter the structure. As a result, it will be necessary to contact every absentee

property owner, obtaining permission to enter and re-hydrate plumbing traps. Not doing this could result

in many buildings being accidentally smoked and, although the smoke is not harmful and leaves no

residue, it would detrimental to perception. The timeframe for doing this would typically be notifying

owners for the first time, by mail, no less than six weeks before their neighborhood or establishment

would be inspected. JJG uses spot radio, TV announcements, websites, flyers, and other means to assist

clients in getting the word out to the public as these activities are planned. Prior to commencement of any

fieldwork, a coordination meeting between Louisville MSD and JJG will be held to discuss all aspects of the

project, including layout confirmation during site visits to prioritize what reaches of the collection system



are evaluated in what order. Communications with property owners, other municipal agencies, and the

public at large impacted during the field investigations will be mapped out at this meeting. JJG

understands that the field activities will be very visible to the public involving access at times across private

property where access easements do not exist for smoke (or dye) testing and CCTV work. We can provide

examples of media packets, door hangers, right-of-entry letters, and other communication materials for

use by MSD as well as support to its public involvement plan.

3BD. Coordinating Consultants, Scheduling, Quality & Cost Control JJG will conduct bi-weekly coordination meetings with all sub-consultants in addition to weekly field

services coordination meetings–these meetings will be documented and posted to an on-line collaboration

site such as Buzzsaw, Newforma, or Primavera Contract Manager. Similarly, all activities will be

constructed into task logic and displayed in a CPM type schedule such Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project,

which will also be updated as frequently as needed or at minimum bi-weekly. Prior and following sections

detail QA/QC of field activities and the data that will emanate from them. Our senior review team will look

at and comment on all submittals back to MSD as well as any that are destined for regulatory submission.

Cost control will include both project control and reporting of charges back to MSD as part of the project

costing and invoicing system. JJG cost estimators are certified by the Project Management Institute (PMI)

and the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International (AACEI)

4BE. Methods to Ensure QA/QC for data and transfer to MSD Hansen system. There are several ways to enter data into Hansen—manual, batch uploading using a Hansen “Batch

Upload” program, and via Hansen’s GIS Interface. Neztek, a CCTV data batch upload program, is a very

efficient tool that first interrogates the Hansen database to collect codes and asset information, then field

collected data is verified against the valid codes and assets before allowing the data to be uploaded.

Invalid codes (those not already in the system) are not allowed to be uploaded until the code is added to

the system or is corrected. Newly identified assets can be added but only with permission. In addition to

the testing described above, prior to attempting an upload, the Neztek software performs digital

comparison testing of codes downloaded from the Hansen database with the proposed upload data and

reports invalid codes for correction before allowing the data to be uploaded.

There are three aspects of data QA/QC. Training - Provide field personnel with training explaining the data

collection methodologies and the coding system along with the code meaning. PACP has a certification

process for trained users - only certified users will be allowed to work on the project. Supplemental

training will be provided to field technicians to ensure an understanding of the other aspects of the

program and their application to this project. Software Defaults – Most CCTV software and some

manhole/pipe inspection software have default codes embedded for selection. This not only makes data

collection more efficient, it also results in more accurate data. Testing – After data is collected in the field,

it will be subjected to two types of testing: visual review and digital comparisons. Visual review of a

reasonable percentage of data, depending on past experience with a field technician’s history of delivering

accurate data, will include reviewing the photographs and videos to check for proper coding. Digital

comparisons will include the comparison of historical data (provided by MSD) with current data for

reasonable similarities and differences. Also, data collected from different SSES methods will be compared,

e.g., the distance from manhole to manhole is derived from GPS data as well as CCTV data which should be

comparable within one to two percent. Inaccurate and suspect data will be field verified when necessary.
