pipe defects. Video recording shall be done digitally in full color in order to provide the utmost quality viewing. Images will be in focus and done with adequate lighting to provide a clear view of the entire periphery of the line including �ny defects while keeping glare to a �n;m�,m. The image shall not be obscured by fogging or misting conditions whett the sewer line. The color camera shall be operattive under 100 percent humidity condirions in the sewer.The center of the camer� lens shall be at or above the spring line of the sewer being televised. The camera �nd ancillary equip�nt shall nat block the sewage flow at any time.In cases where it will not be possible to remove a trapped cam�ra by excavation of a sewer line, a tag line shall be attached to each ond of the camcra to allow the camera to be pulled out from either end. If the camera gets stuck in the sewer pipeline, the CONTitACTOR shall be responsible for all costs involved in extracting it, and shall extract the equipment in a timely manner in order to avoid intertuprion to sewer flow.The CONTRACTOR shall call the Community Development Depattment Engineering and Transportation Division at(6S0)780-7380 to notify of the situarion. Lighting and camera quality shall be suitable to allow a ciear in-focus picture for a minimum of six lineal feet of the entire inside periphery of the sewer pipe. To ensure peak picture quality throughout all conditions encountered during the survey, a variable intensity control of the camera tights and remote control adjustments for focus and iris shall be located at the monitoring starion. Focal distance shall be adjustable through a range of from six inches to infinity. Continuously displayed on the monitors as part of the video pres�entation and digital database image capture system shall be the date of the survey, number designation of the upstream and downstream manholes of the section being surveyed, and a continuous frnward�nd reverse read-out of the camera distance from the manhole of reference. At the beginning of each manhole the footage counter shall be set at zero to accurately document the distance within the aewer line. A primary goal ef this insp�tion program is to accur�tely determine the quanrity and tocarion of the building laterals or side sewers �nd the existing pipe condirions that appesr unusu�l or uncommon to a good sound sewer. The operating t�hnician shall provide a verbal description and have control of the movement of the television camera at ail times. This may be accomplished by means of remote control winches or by telephone or other suitable means of communication between the winches at either end of the manhole section being surveyed.The travel speed of the camera shall be uniform and shall not exceed 30 feet per minute or�s would result in video that could be comfortably viewed.Any means of propelling the camera through the sewer that would exceed this rate of speed or produce non-uniform or jerky movements will not be acceptable.The operating technician shall at all times be able to move the camera through the fine in either direcrion without loss of quality in the video presentation on the monitor. The picture at all times shall be free of electrical interference and provide a clear, stable image of the resolutions specified. If during the inspecrion operarion the television camere.cannot pass through the enfire sewer section due to an obstruction other than roots or grease, CONTRACTOR shall set up his equipment so that the inspection can be performed from the opposite manhole (reverse run). If,again, the camera fails to pass through the entire pipeline section, the inspection sha11 be considered complete and no additional inspection work will be required.Tho CONTRACTOR will be paid only the amount of lineal footage that was inspected. PACP pipe ratings shall be included for each pipe segment inspected.All videos shall be of good quality MPEG-4 forn�at and shall clearly show the above sta.ted condirions. The date, idenrification of sewer section by upstream and downstream manhole locarions, and footage shall be displayed on the video data view at all times.
