Item 4ECity of Southlake, Texas
MEMORANDUM
March 18, 2008
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Public Works Director
Subject: Approve a professional services agreement (PSA) with RJN
Group, Inc., in the amount of $342,947, for Phase I of the
sanitary sewer evaluation study (SSES).
Action
Requested: Approve a professional services agreement (PSA) with RJN Group,
Inc., in the amount of $342,947, for Phase I of the sanitary sewer
evaluation study (SSES).
Background
Information: Sanitary sewer collections systems are, by design, primarily non -
pressurized, gravity -flow pipe networks. For that reason, defects in
pipes and other system components are not readily apparent as
they are in water distribution systems. In order to take advantage
of the natural terrain, these gravity systems often follow creeks and
other drainage ways. This placement makes them vulnerable to
external groundwater pressure resulting in the infiltration of
significant amounts of water where defects are present. Another
source of inflow into the system results during rain events when
manholes, cleanouts and other structures are subjected to flooding
and standing water.
Southlake's sewer collection system consists of 168 miles of pipe,
3,000 manholes, 12 lift stations and 6,700 service connections.
While the majority of the system is less than 25 years old, data from
TRA sewer billing meters and our lift station run -times indicate that
waste water flows increase by about 50% during wet weather in
some areas of town. If allowed to continue these sources of inflow
and infiltration (I. & I.) have the potential to cause backups in to
customers' property and in to the waterways.
On January 11 the city received proposals from four firms in
response to an RFQ advertised for this project. Staff interviewed
three firms and finally chose RJN Group, Inc. to perform a
comprehensive study of the sewer system over the next three
years. In addition to identifying sources of I. & I., Freese and
Nichols, Inc., RJN's partner on the project will develop a dynamic
computer model of the sewer system to assist in economic
development strategies and build -out analysis for planning
wastewater capital improvement projects.
Projected costs for the various elements of the analysis are shown
in detail in the professional services contract. First year costs are
projected to be $342,948, followed by $246,995 and $198,346 in
FY 2009 and 2010 respectively. Funding for future years will be
requested through the waste water operations budget.
Financial
Considerations: First year funding for the PSA is provided in the FY -2008 waste
water operations budget in the amount of $350,000.

This task will specifically identify sections of sewer lines and sources where
excessive infiltration and inflow may be expected to occur during wet - weather periods
including locations of stormwater transfer into the sanitary sewer system.
A dual blower intensified smoke testing technique will be utilized to test sewer lines in
the selected study areas. This enhanced method uses two smoke blowers for each
test segment instead of the conventional technique of one blower, and partial
plugging of the segment. The objective is to provide the maximum amount of smoke
pressure to identify connections from sources such as catch basins, roof leaders,
yard drains, area drains, and detectable main line and lateral defects. Smoke testing
will be performed only during dry periods to maximize the effectiveness of the smoke
testing program.
