HomeMy WebLinkAbout11 - Approval of On-Call M/RSA for As-Needed Pipelining ServicesCTY OF F NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report May 26, 2015 Agenda Item No. 11 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: George Murdoch, Acting Municipal Operations Department Director - (949) 644- 3011, gmurdoch @newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Rachell Wilfert PHONE: (949) 644 -3010 TITLE: Approval of On -Call Maintenance and Repair Agreement with Sancon Engineering for As- Needed Pipelining Services ABSTRACT: The Municipal Operations Department uses a contractor to perform as- needed pipe lining services to repair and prevent minor cracks and corrosion to the City's storm drains and wastewater pipelines. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued to obtain proposals for this service. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the on -call maintenance and repair services agreement with Sancon Engineering for as- needed pipelining services for a term of three years with a total amount not to exceed $200,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this contract. DISCUSSION: The City contains 95.4 miles of storm drains and 202.4 miles of sewer mains that on occasion require repairs or minor rehabilitation short of complete replacement. Cured -In -Place Pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to repair existing pipelines and extend the life of the pipe up to 40 to 60 years. CIPP is jointless and seamless and the application provides minimal disruption to area residents. On February 10th, 2015, the City posted an RFP for As- Needed Pipe Lining Services to provide Cured -In- Place Pipe (CIPP) lining services throughout the City's storm drain and wastewater pipelines. The overall weight of the qualifications, experience and ability to deploy services accounted for 50% of the evaluation criteria, with 50% based on proposal price. The Municipal Operations Department (MOD) received three proposals, including one from the previous contractor. The proposals were scored by a three - member review panel. 11 -1 Proposer Technical Score (out of 50) Cost Ratio Total Score Score (out of 100) (out of 50) 1 Sancon Engineering 40.00 50.00 90.00 2 Southwest Pipeline & 33.33 50.00 83.33 Trenchless Corp. 3 Insituform Technoloaies. LLC 32.00 50.00 82.00 Proposers were asked to provide their per -foot pricing for five (5) ranges of pipe sizes. There was no consistency garnered from extrapolating the pipe size range pricing as some proposers presented low costs in some ranges and high costs in other ranges. This being the case, the decision was made to assess the proposed pricing for feasibility and reasonableness. As all the proposers submitted pricing that falls in line with what staff would expect to pay for these services, all proposers were granted 50 points for the Cost Ratio Score. Therefore, Sancon Engineering, Inc. was chosen to provide as- needed pipelining services. The agreement has a term limit of three years with a total amount not to exceed $200,000. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL o It is the intent of this specification to provide for the reconstruction of pipelines and conduits by the installation of a resin- impregnated flexible tube, which is tightly formed to the original conduit. The resin is cured using either hot water under hydrostatic pressure or steam pressure within the tube. The Cured -In -Place Pipe (CIPP) will be continuous and tight fitting. • REFERENCED DOCUMENTS o This specification references American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and other related standards which are made a part hereof by reference and shall be the latest edition thereof: • AWWA M28 -Cleaning Specification • ASTM D5813 & D790 - Resin Properties Specification • ASTM F -1216 & F -1743 - Cured -In -Place Pipe Specification • ASTM D2990 - Creep And Creep- Rupture Of Plastics MATERIALS The Tube: o The Tube shall consist of one or more layers of flexible, needled felt or absorbent non -woven felt fabric or an equivalent non -woven material made of polyester, Sancon Engineering Inc Page A -6 11 -20 fiberglass cloth or equivalent material suitable for resin impregnation, and meet the standard ASTM requirements. The tube shall be constructed to withstand installation pressures, have sufficient strength to bridge missing pipe, and stretch to fit irregular pipe sections. o The outer tube coating shall consist of a translucent material that allows for visual inspection and verification of proper resin impregnation. The tube used shall be fabricated to a size that, when installed, will tightly fit the internal circumference and the length of the original conduit. The material shall be able to stretch to fit irregular pipe sections and negotiate bends. o The Tube shall have a relatively uniform thickness that when compressed at installation pressures will equal or exceed the calculated minimum design CIPP wall thickness. o The Tube shall be manufactured to a size that when installed will tightly fit the internal circumference and length of the original pipe. Allowance should be made for circumferential stretching during installation. o The outside layer of the Tube shall be coated with an impermeable, flexible membrane that will contain the resin (or equivalent material) and allow the impregnation (wet out) procedure to be monitored. o No material shall be included in the Tube that may cause delamination in the cured CIPP. No dry or unsaturated layers shall be evident. o The wall color of the interior pipe surface of CIPP after installation shall be a relatively light reflective color so that a clear detailed examination with closed circuit television inspection equipment may be made. o Seams in the Tube shall be stronger than the non - seamed felt material. o The Tube shall be marked for distance at regular intervals along its entire length, not to exceed 5 ft. Such markings shall include the Manufacturers name or identifying symbol. Resin: o The resin system shall be a corrosion resistant polyester or vinyl ester system including all required catalysts, initiators that when cured within the tube create a composite that satisfies the requirements of ASTM F1216, ASTM D5813 and ASTM F1743, the physical properties herein, and those which are to be utilized in the submitted and approved design of the CIPP for this project. The resin shall produce a CIPP that will comply with the structural and chemical resistance requirements of this specification. Sancon Engineering Inc Page A -7 11 -21 TESTING o The Contractor shall perform a performance test of the materials and general workmanship of the installation and curing as defined in ASTM F1216 or ASTM F1743, including chemical resistance, hydraulic capacity and wall thickness. o The water tightness of the cured in place pipe shall be gauged while curing and under a positive head. o These test results must verify that the CIPP physical properties specified in this section have been achieved. o The layers of the cured CIPP shall be uniformly bonded. It shall not be possible to separate any two layers with a probe or point of a knife blade so that the layers separate cleanly or the probe or knife blade moves freely between the layers. If the layers separate during field sample testing, new samples will be required to be obtained from the installed pipe. Any reoccurrence may cause rejection of the work. o The cured pipe material (CIPP) shall conform to the structural properties, as listed below: MINIMUM CIPP PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Property Test Method Cured Polyester Composite Min. per ASTM F1216 Enhanced Resin Modulus of Elasticity ASTM D790 250,000 psi 400,000 psi Flexural Stress ASTM D790 4,500 psi 4,500 psi INSTALLATION PROCEDURES o A City atlas broken down by route will be provided to Contractor. The City will locate and designate all manhole access points open and accessible for the work, and provide rights -of- access to these locations. If a street must be closed to traffic because of the orientation of the sewer, the City will institute the actions necessary to provide access for the mutually agreed time period. The City shall also provide free access to water hydrants for cleaning, installation and other process related work items requiring water. o Prior to entering access areas such as manholes, and performing inspection or cleaning operations, an evaluation of the atmosphere to determine the presence of toxic or flammable vapors or lack of oxygen must be undertaken in accordance with local, state, or federal safety regulations. Sancon Engineering Inc Page A -8 11 -22 o The Contractor shall be responsible for locating all underground utility lines to insure the safety of his /her work crew and to protect existing utility equipment in place before commencing any excavation. Contractor shall contact the Project Manager and Underground Service Alert (www.digalert.org) (1- 800 - 227 -2600) before commencing any excavation, to locate underground service lines. Inspection of Pipelines - Before, or at the time of installation, inspection of pipelines shall be performed under the supervision of the Installation Supervisor by experienced personnel trained in locating breaks, obstacles and service connections using close circuit television (CCTV) inspection techniques. The pipeline interior shall be carefully inspected to determine the location of any conditions that may prevent proper installation of CIPP. These shall be noted and corrected. A video recording and suitable written log for each line section shall be produced for later reference by the City. o If the installer determines that conditions are such that damage to the existing piping would result, the Installation Supervisor shall inform the City, shall not attempt the installation until the site is inspected by a Utility representative, and shall postpone installation at that site until the Project Administrator authorizes the Contractor to proceed with the work. The Contractor shall report any plumbing irregularities including but not limited to: meters installed backwards, disconnected meters, and taps located before a meter. o Cleaning of Sewer Lines - The Contractor, when required, shall remove all internal debris out of the sewer line that will interfere with the installation of CIPP. The City shall also provide a dumpsite for all debris removed from the sewers during the cleaning operation. Unless stated otherwise, it is assumed this site will be at or near the sewage treatment facility to which the debris would have arrived in absence of the cleaning operation. Any hazardous waste material encountered during this project will be considered as a changed condition. o Bypassing Sewage - The Contractor, when required, shall provide for the flow of sewage around the section or sections of pipe designated for repair. Plugging the line at an existing upstream manhole and pumping the flow into a downstream manhole or adjacent system shall make the bypass. The pump(s) and bypass line(s) shall be of adequate capacity to accommodate the sewage flow. The City may require a detail of the bypass plan to be submitted. o Line Obstructions - It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to clear the line of obstructions such as solids and roots that will prevent the insertion of CIPP. If pre - installation inspection reveals an obstruction such as a protruding service connection, dropped joint, or a collapse that will prevent the installation process, that was not evident on the pre -bid video and it cannot be removed by conventional sewer cleaning equipment, then the Contractor shall make a point repair excavation to uncover and remove or repair the obstruction. Such Sancon Engineering Inc Page A -9 11 -23 excavation shall be approved in writing by the City's representative prior to the commencement of the work and shall be considered as a separate pay item. o At its option, the City may authorize Contractor to make any necessary repairs to service lines or piping, provided Contractor approves such repairs at a rate agreeable to both Contractor and the City prior to the repairs being done. o Contractor shall flush water line after CIPP installation to remove all debris out of the line and ensure the service restoration to the premises. Any location where flushing cannot be accomplished shall be reported to the Project Administrator. o The finished pipe shall be continuous over the entire length of an installation and be free of dry spots, lifts, and delaminations. If these conditions are present, the CIPP will be evaluated for its ability to meet applicable physical requirements. Where the CIPP does not meet specifically stated requirements of the client or engineer the affected portions of CIPP will be removed and replaced with an equivalent repair mutually agreed upon by the client and contractor. After the new pipe has been cured in place, the existing active (or inactive) service connections shall be reinstated. This should generally be done without excavation, and in the case of non -man entry pipes, from the interior of the pipeline by means of television camera and a remote control cutting device. • QUALITY CONTROL o Overall, the hydraulic cross- section shall be maintained as large as possible. The CIPP shall have a minimum of the full flow capacity of the original pipe before rehabilitation. Calculated capacities may be derived using a commonly accepted roughness coefficient for the existing pipe material taking into consideration its age and condition. o Contractor shall be responsible for replacing any CIPP improperly installed.
