OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM <br />© 2025 Fischer Compliance, LLC. All rights reserved. Sewer System Management Plan licensed for San Leandro use only. Page 33 of 57 <br />Critical defects are identified for spot repairs and deteriorated reaches for potential rehabilitation or <br />replacement. A future cleaning frequency can be determined for each pipe reach based on the results of <br />the inspections. <br />Each CCTV video is viewed by a lead Collections System Maintenance Worker, and the pipe is graded per <br />standards outlined in the NASSCO Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP). Using the PACP Code <br />Matrix, each PACP defect code is assigned a condition grade from 1 to 5. Grades are assigned based on <br />potential for further deterioration or pipe failure. Pipe failure is defined as when the pipe can no longer <br />convey the pipe design capacity. <br />After assessment is complete, CCTV videos are uploaded both to ICOM3 and to the t4 Spatial program. t4 <br />Spatial is a cloud-based program that displays Collection System assets, and correlates video to a specific <br />line segment. Each frame in the video can be associated with a specific location on the GIS map. It is <br />expected that the City’s upcoming use of Integrity software will replace t4 Spatial. <br />City Engineering Department staff can search for pipe segments with PACP grades of 3 or higher and view <br />specific portions of video that reveal problem locations of the pipe. This allows the City to put together an <br />accurate list of sewer line point repairs and replacements needed for the following fiscal year. Also, repairs <br />are completed more efficiently due to the City’s ability to provide very accurate locations to contractors for <br />required repairs. <br />Manhole Inspections <br />As part of the focused and cyclic cleaning programs, City Collections staff visually inspect manholes for <br />corrosion, debris or damage around the base, cracks or holes, and condition of manhole steps. Inspections <br />involve a visual assessment of the overall manhole condition and observed deficiencies that could result in <br />I/I. <br />Ratings applied to manhole investigations use the standards of the NASSCO Manhole Condition Assessment <br />Program (MCAP) for each of the manhole structure components including the rim and lid, chimney/cone, <br />bench and channel. Each component is rated as poor, fair, or good condition as a gross determination of <br />construction adequacy of the structure and its component parts. Staff conduct a detailed investigation of <br />manhole conditions when a connecting line segment is defined as a rehab project, and corrections needed <br />to the manhole structure are then included as part of the project work. <br />Pump Station Inspections and Assessment <br />Pump stations are inspected on a weekly basis. Weekly inspections include visual check of the equipment, <br />manual cycling of pumps, checking and cleaning floats, recording hour meter readings, and cleaning off <br />debris. In addition, pump stations receive extensive maintenance each year, which includes cleaning out <br />of sump and removing pumps for inspection and performing repairs if necessary. <br />
