INTRODUCTION

The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (District) is soliciting/requesting proposals (RFP) from

qualified Contractors (aka Proposers) to conduct digital closed-circuit, television video

(CCTV) along with NASSCO assessment rating of the District sewer system.

The goal will be to conduct CCTV video of each pipeline (100%) over a five-year period;

about 30-percent of the sewer pipeline CCTV work will be conducted during the first year,

then 15 to 20-percent each year thereafter. In addition, the District is also requesting

periodic, on-call, CCTV video services. This on-call service may result in up to 5 to 10-

percent of additional CCTV assignments each year.

It is estimated, but not guaranteed, that the contractor will perform between 35 and 65

miles of CCTV work along with using a pole-camera for the associated Level 1 MACP

inspection each year of the Agreement period and/or Agreement extension(s). Level 2

NASSCO MACP inspections may be substituted for the Level 1 MACP inspections.

BACKGROUND/GENERAL

The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (District) is an independent special district that was

formed in 1944 under the Sanitary District Act of 1923. The District is governed by an

elected five-member Board of Directors that appoints a general manager to supervise the

day-to-day operations of the organization. The District boundaries encompass all of the

City of Costa Mesa, portions of Newport Beach, and small portion of unincorporated

Orange County territory; serving a population of approximately 116,700 and serving close

to 4,000 businesses.

Wastewater is conveyed to a treatment plant located in either Huntington Beach or the

Fountain Valley (owned and operated by the Orange County Sanitation District) via 224

miles of collection system and 20 lift stations. The District total daily dry weather flow is

approximately 8 to 10 million gallons per day.

The Contractor shall provide CCTV and sewer condition assessment services and provide

labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary for the closed-circuit television

(CCTV) inspection of various lengths, depths, and diameters of sanitary sewers pipeline

located throughout the District’s service area. Sewer pipelines are typically 8-inch vitrified

clay pipe (VCP) or polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC). However, there are other pipeline sizes and

materials used within the sewer system. Sewer pipelines may be lined with a range of pipe

liners and the pipelines range in sizes from 6 to 30 inches in diameter.

The following services are required to inspect the condition of the District pipelines:

• High definition CCTV video of pipelines and related assets, along with associated

report(s) and data.

• Level 1 MACP inspection using CCTV video camera mounted on a pole.

SCOPE OF WORK (SOW)

General

Contractor shall CCTV video about 360,000 feet of the District sewer pipe during the first

year, then shall CCTV about 210,000 feet each year thereafter. The sewer CCTV work shall

include a Level 1 MACP inspection of sewer segment-associated manhole(s) using a pole-

mounted video/camera. The District reserves the right to conduct Level 2 MACP

inspections via video camera, based on the Proposer-provided optional costs.

District siphons and forcemain pipelines are NOT included in this contract.

In addition, the Contractor shall respond to District inspection requests for additional work

within three (3) business days wherever traffic control plans are not required. For

emergency situations, Contractor shall respond to a special request by the District

Engineer, within six (6) hours for CCTV inspection. The District Engineer, or their designee,

shall make the emergency call-outs.

The Contractor shall have full-time NASSCO PACP, MACP, and LACP certified personnel

experienced in CCTV inspection readily available to respond within the time limits noted

above of an emergency notification. Delays in responses may be cause for termination of

the Contract.

Contractor personnel performing CCTV video work, performing defect coding, performing

QA/QC, and/or other related sewer assessment activities, shall be National Association of

Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) certified and be of current standing. NASSCO

certification certificates for each contractor employee performing NASSCO certification

work must be provided to the District. When a certificate expires, a renewal certification

shall be submitted within 30 days after the expiration date.

The District will provide the Contractor with PDF or GIS infrastructure maps which includes

sewer pipelines, manholes, sewer force mains, wet wells, siphons, and the asset

designations. Typical data on the maps include pipe size, pipe length, manhole

information, and identification numbers.

Sewers will be cleaned sufficiently by the District prior to the CCTV work. However, sewers

with excessive debris prohibiting the camera to successfully inspect the pipe section may

be subject to a minimum callout fee in order to reimburse the Contractor if the total

amount of footage successfully taken is less than the minimum callout fee.

Contractors shall possess an A- General Engineering Contractor license, C- 34 Pipeline

Contractor License, and/or C-42 Sanitation System Contractor license. No other State of

California contractor license types or specialties will be considered.
