BACKGROUND

ACS has been asked to submit a proposal to Delaware Engineering for locating underground water mains and valves for the Village of Red Hook Northeast quadrant water system. All water mains and valves need to be marked-out in the area outlined in red as shown on a supplied map. This is the proposal outlining the Approach and Costs & Timing.

APPROACH

The area where the water mains and valves are being located must be clearly defined. Any utility drawing/plans of the site should be provided to the ACS technician upon arrival.

Locates: Any metallic mains/valves are located by using locating equipment that sends a specific low frequency radio signal onto the line. This is a specific signal for the particular utility being located. For this signal to be sent along the line an attachment needs to be made onto the line at some point. This is normally done where the line enters or leaves a building and goes underground or where it is visible (or a component of) at some point. The attachment that is made is a transmitter and this then sends the signal to a receiver that is able to pick up the signal and trace the line along the ground surface. To obtain the depth reading the transmitter uses a different mode for vertical locates. Depth readings cannot be guaranteed due to factors beyond the control of ACS (equipment tolerance, line placement, etc.). Valves are also located with specialized metal detectors and/or GPR as needed.

Any water main that is plastic, or cannot maintain signal continuity, and/or contains nonmetallic materials that has no working tracer wire cannot be located and is not the responsibility of ACS unless located by GPR*.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)*: GPR uses radio waves to detect/locate underground water mains and valves. The machine is pushed across the ground surface of the subsurface area under investigation as radio waves are simultaneously reflected to the equipment monitor. The image is then recorded as to what is being seen underground with the ACS technician is specially trained to determine what these images signify.

*All work is conducted on a best effort basis. It should be noted electrical interference could possibly interfere with signal reflection thereby creating distorted and/or no viewable images. There are no guarantees any or all water mains and valves can be found via GPR. This is strictly dependent upon proper operation of the equipment at the site (issues with electrical signals, water table, soil composition, pipe placement, etc.). Proper operation of equipment can only be determined once the technician is on-site and work has begun. The Client shall be notified of any GPR issues encountered.

As the water mains and valves are located, they are marked-out on the ground with temporary marking paint and/or flags for further reference. Since mark-outs are only temporary, the Client is responsible for utilizing these marks for proposed purpose within a reasonable timeframe and/or site conditions. A daily Job Report with a Google Overlay and photographs is also provided within 1-2 business days.

COSTS & TIMING

For this Project, the not-to-exceed rate for locating underground water mains and valves is $32,700 plus sales tax unless an exempt certificate is provided. This is for 1 technician for up to 7-hours at site Monday-Friday between the hours of 7:30am-4:30pm; $1635 per day×20 days and only charged for actual days needed.

All work is conducted on a best effort basis. No work can be conducted in inclement weather. This work assumes confined space entry is not needed. The Client is responsible for limiting access to the immediate work areas, obtaining any required permits, and for providing traffic control if needed.

COMMISSIONING

For the job to go ahead a signed copy of this proposal and/or a Purchase Order needs to be emailed to ACS serving as your authorization to proceed with this work.

New England Subsurface Imaging, LLC Disclaimer / Terms and Conditions

The survey results you will be provided with arise from the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and/or electromagnetic tracing methods. These are available technologies for the detection and location of subgrade utilities and other subsurface features.

GPR is a reflection technique, similar to sonar, and detects electrical differences in the substrate. The system works best where electrical contrasts are great, as between concrete and steel, less so where contrasts are less dramatic as in conductive materials lying in conductive (clay, rich, or salty) soils. Extensive target congestion (rebar, mesh, conduits, etc.) may make it difficult to resolve individual structures with accuracy, particularly if the components are stacked one above the other.

Electromagnetic methods make use of the ability to trace a magnetic field produced by an electrical current, or an impressed radio signal. In relatively clear areas, lateral accuracy with this method is high, but in areas where metallic structures turn, or come in close proximity, signals may “bleed” off onto adjourning components, reducing lateral accuracy and depth determinations.

Sketch maps on pavements or floors depict an accurate representation of the radar echoes, or the electromagnetic trace signals. Because of errors that can arise in transcription of GPR or electromagnetic data, from the scans or sweeps to a map, and from map to field excavation, great care should be taken if a coring or excavation is done close to an identified structure.

No excavation, drilling, or core boring should be attempted which is based on our recommendations, stakes, markings or maps, until our oral or written report (if previously requested by client) is received and fully understood.

All of our interpretations of the data obtained by our radar scans and electromagnetic methods are made utilizing our past training and experience. These are new technologies that only give an estimate of the occurrence of underground objects.

However, all subsurface noninvasive techniques such as ground-penetrating radar and other electromagnetic methods require interpretation based on inferences from known physical systems. Because a variety of factors affect electrical conductivity of the substrate, radar wave penetration depth, and distortion of radio signals, New England Subsurface Imaging, LLC (the Contractor) cannot guarantee absolute certainty of any interpretation or results provided to a client. We take no responsibility for objects not detected by the radar because of its inability to penetrate certain subsurface materials,

to penetrate below certain depths, or to detect small diameter utility lines.

Your survey may include running the same transect with different wavelength antennas, or with different electromagnetic equipment to reduce those difficulties. We do not give any absolute guarantee as to the location of these underground objects and will not be responsible for any damages or losses either actual or consequential based on your reliance upon our

interpretations. Our contribution to your project provides a measure of risk management and is available for your judgment to be exercised.

Our services can reduce the probability of accidents, but we cannot eliminate them.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor makes no warranty or guarantee of any kind or nature as to the accuracy of the results of its work or its merchantability for any particular purpose. Contractor is not and will not be liable for any cost, expense, damage, injury, lost profits, consequential damages, delay or any other claim of any kind on account of its work, except where such claims arise from Contractor’s negligent performance of its work hereunder (except that Contractor shall never be liable under any circumstances for lost profits or consequential damages). The Client specifically acknowledges the provisions of the preceding sentence and shall indemnify, defend and hold Contractor harmless from and against any claims by any party arising out of the non-negligent performance of work by Client hereunder. In no event shall Contractor be liable for any amount greater than the fees actually paid to and received by Contractor pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

Relevant OSHA rules (CFR 1926.651 and 1926.850) should be followed prior to any corings, borings, or excavations.

Our insurance certificate and W-9 can also be downloaded here. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if you need additional information.

SCOPE OF WORK

Underground Utility

We understand the scope to be to search for the water main and valves at the above site. The provided site plans and documents are included in this email as a separate attachment. The size of the area is approximately 4 miles. We will attempt to trace any utilities for which there are structures visible from the work area. Utilities will be marked on the surface using paint, flags, or other appropriate means. The client will be responsible to provide drawings or notify GPRS of any utilities known to be entering the work area for which there are no apparent surface features or structures that are visible from the work area. The areas should be laid out, marked, and cleared of obstructions prior to our arrival in order to avoid additional charges. Please visit www.simspec.org for an overview of our industry-leading best practices that will be applied to this project.

EQUIPMENT

  • Underground Scanning GPR Antenna. The antenna frequencies range from 250 MHz-450 MHz is mounted in a stroller frame which rolls over the surface. The surface needs to be reasonably smooth and unobstructed in order to obtain readable scans. Obstructions such as curbs, landscaping, and vegetation will limit the feasibility of GPR. The data is displayed on a screen and marked in the field in real time. The total depth achieved can be as much as 8’ or more with this antenna but can vary widely depending on the types of materials being scanned through. Some soil types such as clay may limit maximum depths to 3’ or less. As depth increases, targets must be larger in order to be detected and non-metallic targets can be especially difficult to locate. Depths provided should always be treated as estimates as their accuracy can be affected by multiple factors. For more information, please visit: Link

  • Electromagnetic Pipe Locator. The EM locator can passively detect the signals from live AC power or radio signals travelling along some conductive utilities. It can also be used in conjunction with a transmitter to connect directly to accessible, metallic pipes, risers, or tracer wires. A current is sent through the pipe or tracer wire at a specific frequency and the resulting signal can then be detected by the receiver. A utility’s ability to be located depends on a variety of factors including access to the utility, conductivity, grounding, interference from other utilities, and many others. Depths provided should always be treated as estimates as their accuracy can be affected by multiple factors. For more information, please visit: Link

  • Traceable Rodder. The rodder has a copper wire encased in fiberglass. The line is pushed through accessible pipes before placing a current on the wire and the signal is then traced from the surface. The maximum traceable depth is 10’ depending on the soil conditions and the maximum distance is 200’. The line can be pushed through a pipe with direct access such as a sewer line at a cleanout or a storm drain catch basin. It may not be able to be pushed through deeper pipes within manholes. Electrical conduits will not be accessed by GPRS. The signal cannot be located through metallic pipes. For more information, please visit: Link

  • GPS. This handheld GPS unit offers accuracy down to 4 inches, however, the accuracy achieved will depend on the satellite environment at the time of collection and should not be considered to be survey-grade. Features can be collected as points, lines, or areas and then exported as a KML/KMZ or overlaid on a CAD drawing. For more information, please visit: Link
