ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC., FOR
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH
A SANITARY SEWER EVALUATION SURVEY
Department: WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
ISSUE
Agenda Item # -
Date: MAY 24, 1999
Should the City of Pueblo enter into an agreement with ADS Environmental Services,
Inc., for the sanitary sewer evaluation survey (SSES) project.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pueblo - Wastewater Department has been undertaking a complete
assessment of the City's wastewater collection system. The assessment has been
divided into several parts. In 1997, sixty -eight (68) temporary flow monitors were
installed throughout the wastewater collection system and ten (10) temporary rain
gauges were placed at various locations throughout the City. The flow monitors and
rain gauges allowed us to identify ten (10) areas within the collection system that
intercept an abnormal amount of rain water and groundwater (infiltration & inflow)
during rain storms.
The purpose of the SSES project is to determine the physical condition, location, and
possible sources of infiltration and inflow by smoke testing the ten areas. The smoke
testing will identify defects in the wastewater collection system that allow rainwater to
enter into the system. The smoke is nontoxic, odorless and nonstaining. Prior to
smoke testing, ADS will distribute notices to all affected areas and communicate
directly with any commercial properties. News releases will also be used to inform the
public. ADS will communicate with the Fire Department and Police Department each
day prior to testing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost will be approximately $58,739.25. Funds for the professional services will be
paid from the Wastewater Account 014- 0400 -441- 000 - 040 -1535.

SCHEDULE 1
SCOPE OF WORK
The City of Pueblo is located in Southeastern Colorado. The City owns and operates a
sanitary sewer collection system consisting of over 2,000,000 If of pipe. This system serves
Pueblo's 102,000 residential customers as well as commercial and industrial customers.
ADS Environmental Services performed an Inflow /Infiltration (I /I) study during August
and September of 1997. The 45 -day project measured sanitary sewer flow at 68 locations
throughout the collection system. Rainfall was measured during the same period at 10 locations.
The purpose of this project was to locate and quantify sources of I/I entering the collection
system.
Currently, the City desires to further investigate ten (10) sub - basins identified during the
1997 project as having excessive I/1 response. The selected sub - basins consist of approximately
345,325 if to be smoke tested during May and June of 1999. ADS has developed a project
approach that will provide exceptional deliverables to the City, with high quality/high impact
results.
The purpose of this program is to determine the physical condition, location, and possible
sources of inflow. Information obtained during the smoke - testing program will be used in
determining rehabilitation cost and methods. This work will also identify covered manholes and
help verify the sewer manhole.
