DuPont, PE, CME, PP Director, Department of Municipal Engineering & Public Works Memorial Municipal Building 61 Cooke Avenue Carteret, New Jersey 07008 RE: Borough of Carteret Roosevelt Avenue Pump Station Force Main Condition Assessment Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Dear Mr. DuPont: Hatch Mott MacDonald, LLC (HMM) is pleased to submit our proposal to provide professional engineering services to the Borough of Carteret (Borough) for the condition assessment of the Roosevelt Avenue Pump Station Force Main. The Roosevelt Avenue Pump Station is the Borough's main pump station and receives and the wastewater collected within the entire Borough. The force main from the pump station is a 27 -inch diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) force main that runs approximately 16,000 linear feet (or —3 miles) to the Sewaren Pump Station in Woodbridge Township. The force main was constructed in 1989 during the construction of the Roosevelt Avenue pump station and decommissioning of the Wastewater Treatment Plant that the Borough once owned and operated. Most PCCP pipe is speculated to have a lifetime in excess of 50 years, however, PCCP has been known to fail dramatically rather than deteriorate slowly over time and leak. PCCP pipe relies on the prestressed wires wrapped around the exterior of the pipe to provide much of the pipe's strength. Over time these metal wires fracture, and if enough wires break in the same vicinity a pipe collapse can occur. The force main has experienced a few problems in the past few years, most recently of which was a pin -hole leak last year that resulted in significant road damages and was very costly to repair. It is the Borough's intention to take a proactive approach and develop a condition assessment program and, as necessary, strategies for repairing or potentially replacing the force main. As you are aware, H?vIM has specialized in hydraulic studies and wastewater conveyance for over 80 -years in New Jersey and has served numerous municipality and utility clients throughout the State and Region in the process. We have served the Borough as their wastewater consultant for many years and several of our Engineers are intimately familiar with the Borough's sanitary sewer system, having completed a comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Master Plan in 2013 and various other projects improving the Borough's sewer system over the past twenty years. For this project, HMM proposes to retain tire specialized services of Pure Technologies U.S. Inc. Pure Technologies is a leader in innovative technologies for inspection, monitoring and management of buried infrastructure. HMM has utilized Pure Technologies as a subconsultant in the past for evaluation of PCCP pipelines. Hatch Mott MacDonald PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH All wastewater generated within the Borough is conveyed to the Borough's Roosevelt Avenue Pump Station, from which it is pumped to Woodbridge for eventual conveyance and treatment at the Middlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA). The 27 -inch diameter PCCP Roosevelt Avenue Pump Station force main is in continuous operation. Therefore, the inspection and assessment of the force main requires a unique approach and inspection techniques. These are described below: Acoustic Leak and Gas Pocket Detection Surve The first step of the condition assessment should be a leak and gas pocket detection survey. While there are several failure mechanisms for force mains, research conducted as part of the Water Environment Research Foundation report 2010 Guidelines for Wastewater Force Mains showed that the most common is internal hydrogen sulfide deterioration. Internal hydrogen sulfide deterioration occurs when a gas pocket forms in the pipeline, creating the environmental conditions necessary to damage the pipe wall. This eventually leads to a failure which is in some cases catastrophic. Gas pockets can also impact the operation of a pump station and force main system by reducing the capacity of the pipeline. Our proposed subconsultant, Pure Technologies, has extensively analyzed inspection data obtained from acoustic -based tools in order to better understand the frequency and location of gas pockets. Based on this analysis, it has been determined that 72% of detected gas pockets were not found at known high points or air release valves. In order to perform the leak and gas pocket detection survey, HMM has developed an approach with assistance from Pure Technologies to use their acoustic -based SmartBall leak and gas pocket detection tool. The tool is inserted into a pipeline, typically at a check valve at the pump station, and allowed to traverse the active force main. The SmartBall device is capable of recording changes in the acoustic profile of a pressurized main. This task includes the pressurized insertion and extraction of the SmartBall tool and the acoustic inspection data collection. Electromagnetic Inspection Assessing the condition of a PCCP force main is a challenging task that is best performed using a combination of non - destructive testing technology, engineering science, and experiential judgment. The primary goal of an inspection is to provide an understanding of the condition of the structural component that provides a pipe's strength —the prestressing wire. An electromagnetic inspection provides a non - destructive method of evaluating the baseline condition of the prestressing wire wraps in a PCCP. HAM in conjunction with our specialist subconsultant, Pure Technologies, propose the use of the PipeDiver electromagnetic inspection technology to inspect the force mains. The PipeDiver tool is neutrally buoyant and is carried by the flow of water, travelling at approximately 90% of the flow rate in the pipeline. Mr. John DuPont, PE, CME, PP - Page 2 - March 18, 2015 Hatch Mott MacDonald Electromagnetic inspections ascertain a magnetic signature for each pipe to identify anomalies that are produced by zones of prestressing wire damage. Various characteristics associated with an anomaly (length, magnitude, phase shift, etc.) are evaluated to provide an estimate of the number of broken wire wraps. This technology works by inducing a varying electrical field in the prestressing wire wraps and measuring the corresponding magnetic field response. The plain components of tine electromagnetic equipment consist of a transmitter coil to generate the field, a receiver coil to pick up the induced response, and a data logger to record the data. The fee for this task includes the depressurized insertion and extraction of the PipeDiver tool and the electromagnetic inspection data collection. At this stage in the development of the condition assessment program, there are limited records and data available on the existing force main. Therefore, the first step in the program will be the performance of a feasibility study to determine the way the survey and inspection will be performed, such as locations of the insertion and extraction points for the different inspection tools and the The scope of services for the Roosevelt Force Main Condition Assessment is outlined below. SCOPE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES Task 1— Feasibility Study During the Feasibility Study, we will review existing engineering and operational documents to gain a comprehensive understanding of the pipeline. These documents could include plan and profile drawings, pipe laying schedules, as -built drawings, design specifications, repair records, pipeline failure history, results from any past inspections, and any other available documentation. Following the records review, a site visit and interviews with Borough Sewer Department personnel will be conducted to better understand the pipeline and its history. This process will allow the project team to determine site logistics and system operations during the inspection phase, as well as help to identify and mitigate any challenges or issues that may arise during the inspection. The deliverable for this task will be an Inspection Planning Document that will cover the details of the execution of the inspection, including tool insertion and extraction, tracking, flow requirements, Borough responsibilities, inspection schedule, and sequencing. This Planning Document will act as a guide for the duration of the project. After the completion of Task 1, the Feasibility Study, the overall level of effort for the rest of the condition assessment tasks will be understood. At that point, a proposal will be provided to tine Borough for the following subsequent tasks: Task 2 — Acoustic Leak and Gas Pocket Detection Survey Task 3 — Electromagnetic Inspection Task 4 — Engineering Analysis and Risk Assessment Analysis Mr. John DuPont, PE, CME, PP - Page 3 - March 18, 2015 Hatch Mott MacDonald FEE AND SCHEDULE HMM proposes to provide the Professional Engineering Services described herein for the following lump sum price.
