REV: 01-17-24 MI end. If the camera gets stuck in the pipeline, the Consultant shall be responsible for all costs involved in extracting it, and shall remove the equipment in a timely manner in order to avoid interruption to flow. The Consultant shall call the City’s PWS Department at (650) 780-7464 to notify of the situation. 14.Lighting and camera quality shall be suitable to allow a clear in-focus picture for a minimum of six lineal feet of the entire inside periphery of the pipe. The camera shall have a minimum capability of 350 lines of resolution and should be of the "articulating head" type to allow laterals and defects to be viewed directly. To ensure peak picture quality throughout all conditions encountered during the survey, a variable intensity control of the camera lights and remote-control adjustments for focus and iris shall be located at the monitoring station. Focal distance shall be adjustable through a range from six inches to infinity. Continuously displayed on the monitors as part of the video presentation and digital database image capture system shall be the date of the survey, number (no.) designation of the upstream and downstream manholes of the section being surveyed, and a continuous forward and reverse read-out of the camera distance from the manhole of reference. At a minimum the laterals shall be identified, and clear inspection captured from the sewer main. 15.At the beginning of each manhole the footage counter shall be set at zero to accurately document the distance traveled within the sewer line. 16.A primary goal of the inspection program is to accurately determine the quantity and location of the building laterals or side sewers, and conditions that appear unusual or uncommon to a sewer in optimal condition. The operating technician shall provide a verbal description and always have control of the movement of the CCTV camera. This may be accomplished by means of remote-control winches, use of digital devices 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 as would result in video that could not 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 line in either direction 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. 17.If during the inspection operation, the television camera cannot pass through the entire sewer section due to an obstruction other than roots or grease, Consultant shall set up their equipment so that the inspection can be performed from the opposite manhole (reverse run). The cost of additional manhole set-ups shall be the responsibility of the Consultant. If, again, the camera fails to pass through the entire pipeline section, the Consultant shall immediately notify the City’s PWS Department at (650) 780-7464. The Consultant will be paid for only the amount of lineal footage ATTY/AGR.2024.007/APS Environmental, Inc. (Routine & Ad Hoc CCTV Inspection Services) (Page 13 of 21)
