RFP 2024-238 City of Aspen Stormwater System Condition Assessment
Updated Approach to Project
Scope of Services
PROJECT KICK-OFF
SAM will provide an on-site kick-off meeting and geodatabase review with the City of Aspen staff to start the project.
This meeting is essential to developing open communication with our clients and will help establish the guidelines and
procedures of SAM for coordinating the project. The following important topics will be discussed and determined at the
kick-off meeting:
• Safety Process and Programs
• Project Org Chart
• Work Hours
• Public Outreach
• What to do in the event of an identified conflict.
• Inspection Process Strategies
• Invoicing Procedures
• Recurring Meeting Plan
• Execution Plan
PROJECT TIMELINE AND MILESTONES
SAM will review and discuss the anticipated project timeline and milestones with the City of Aspen during the kick-off
meeting. Any level of responsibility required of the city (i.e. providing existing data, pre-locating utilities, etc.) will be
discussed and taken into consideration when finalizing the overall timeline. Internal and external cost controls, along with
any modifications to the proposed project schedule at the request of the city will be discussed and finalized.
WORK SECTOR DEFINITION
SAM will review any available storm sewer GIS data to determine the parameters necessary for field verification and work
with city staff to define work sectors for the entire project area. The creation of these work sectors serves two distinct and
important roles during the project. First, the project sectors will be utilized by SAM field staff as a quality control measure.
Field staff will work within each sector and complete all locates and inspections required prior to moving onto the next
sector. This allows for an efficient method of data collection and translates into cost savings and overall project quality.
Another benefit of working within project sectors is to provide city staff with an effective method to track progress and
know exactly what part of the city SAM field staff is working in. The work sectors also facilitate pre-planning during
periodic meetings for traffic control, assistance and the interactive project website and project reports.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
SAM will work with city staff to ensure proper citizen notification. It has been our experience on similar projects
that informing citizens about the field work will help alleviate any concerns local residents or businesses may have.
Notifications at City Halls, utility offices and the local newspaper or public access channel (if available) is highly
recommended. SAM field staff will carry an informational letter on letterhead from the City of Aspen describing the project
and the proper contact information in the event there are concerns from the public. It is also recommended that local law
enforcement be notified about the project and that SAM field staff will be working in the area.
SAFETY AND PROCEDURES
SAM will review safety and field procedures during the kick-off meeting to ensure the safety of field staff, city staff and the
citizens of the City of Aspen throughout the project. SAM follows a strict safety and procedures manual and requires all
SAM employees to attend internal quarterly safety meetings to review procedures and concerns.
At all times, field staff will be wearing the required Class II traffic safety vests and all field vehicles will be clearly marked
with company information and have the required safety lights for operation while in public right-of-way. GPS field
personnel have acquired training certification in OSHA 10, Smith System Driver Safety, CPR, Bloodborne Pathogens, COVID
Protocol Training and Field Safety. Proper traffic control signage will be utilized when necessary while operating in public
right-of-way. If required, due to traffic concerns, SAM will operate during non-peak hours to obtain field locates and
inspections. If SAM staff has concerns about their safety, the appropriate city staff will be contacted.

Updated Approach to Project
Task 1: Existing Data Analysis
At the same time as the kick-off meeting, SAM will acquire copies of existing and available mapping data for review,
analysis and for use as reference during the project. SAM understands that the city has existing datasets that are
maintained by the city’s GIS Department.
SAM will work with the necessary city staff to establish a scoring matrix that will be utilized throughout the project to
identify the levels of pipe degradation during the assessment portion of the project. At this time, the SAM Team will
determine the best pipe video identification system to meet all the goals and requirements of Aspen.
SAM will coordinate with key city staff and the GIS Department to ensure data collection in both Tasks 2 and 3 will be
conducted so data can seamlessly integrate with the existing schema and data structure.
Task 2: Infrastructure Inventory: Locate, Clean, Inspect, and Inventory
SAM project leadership will coordinate and develop a project schedule for all Task 2 objectives. SAM understands that
Aspen has seasonal events that the SAM Team must coordinate around. Our management team is accustomed to
overseeing data collection projects with little to no impact on both a city’s flow of traffic and city departments’ daily
workflow and operations.
GPS FIELD COLLECTION
For this project, SAM will utilize our firm’s GPS and data collection equipment. SAM is the largest single commercial user of
Trimble technologies in America. This enables SAM to access the newest field collection technologies, often before they
are even available to the general public. SAM has streamlined the data collection process in order to minimize errors and
promote efficiency in the field. This includes the best equipment in terms of accuracy and reliability, as well as workflows
for our teams in the field that use the equipment on a regular basis.
SAM will employ RTK survey-grade collection methods using Trimble R12i GNSS Receiver(s) to locate the city’s storm sewer
features as contained in the defined project limits. SAM will utilize a Trimble TSC5 Data Collector with Trimble Access
software in order to streamline the information collected at each storm sewer structure. RTK survey-grade technology is
utilized for locating utility assets, resulting in centimeter-level accuracy (+/- 2 centimeters) and accurate elevations.
GPS surveys will be referenced to the Colorado State Plane Coordinate System to allow for direct insertion into the city’s
GIS program. Horizontal (x,y) and vertical (z) coordinates will be obtained in the field for all storm sewer features. Captured
features through GPS surveys will include all features designated by the City of Aspen during the planning phase of the
project. The storm sewer features will be opened and inspected. Condition and attribute data will be collected and a
top-side photo will be taken.

CCTV DATA COLLECTION AND CLEANING
The SAM Team will start with maps provided in Attachments C and D as a starting point of known work, then identify
previously unknown/unmapped pipe to address in project. The SAM Team Superintendent will then identify and prioritize, in
coordination with City of Aspen to submit and create an approved schedule. This includes strategies to minimize disruption to
the public during the assessment process. A tentative schedule will be provided at or prior to the Kickoff meeting.
The SAM Team Superintendent will coordinate traffic control as needed to safely support the field crews. Pro- Pipe will self-
perform Minor to most traffic control and subcontract any flagging operations as needed. Field inspection crews will utilize all
tools to successfully complete the CCTV assessment and cleaning to bring pipe segments back to their original capacity.
Cleaning crew will remove solids from pipe segments. The SAM Team fully understands the City of Aspen’s goal for cleaning
these pipe segments per industry standards. We will do this by supplying an 80 gal per minute GPM water pump and 18 CFM
blower Vacuum truck with 12-yard debris tank. The SAM Team will also utilize high velocity nozzles, 3d Spinning safely to
minimize impact to the community.
Throughout the NASSCO PACP inspection process, The SAM Team CCTV and Cleaning Operators will digitally document the
results of inspections in the field utilizing PACP Defect coding for both structural and operational maintenance. The SAM
Team will utilize a CCTV Truck with Mainline CCTV equipment. and then reviewed by The SAM Team’s Quality. Confined
space gear will be included in this project and be available on-site throughout the duration of field operations.
DATA CONSISTENCY
SAM will employ our customized data collection field application that has been successfully used on other similar projects. All
field data will be predefined for field staff to ensure accurate and consistent attribute collection. Field staff will run the custom
application on the GPS controller unit to allow for quick and easy identification and navigation of the utility features.
Inlets that are inaccessible by GPS due to tree cover or satellite visibility will be noted and shot utilizing traditional survey
methods. All data will be coded in reference to method of collection. Any storm sewer structures that require further
assistance in opening or gathering attribute data will be noted and SAM will work with city staff to gain access to the
identified storm sewer structures.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Effective Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are crucial to the success and overall integrity of
every project. Through the combined efforts of our project team, an emphasis on QA/QC is always a priority and each task
executed has a system of checks and balances established for all personnel to follow. Elements of QA/QC can range from
data collection checklists and GPS tolerance controls to analyzing network connectivity within the software environment.
As part of the QA/QC process, SAM will conduct a redundancy check on five (5) percent of the features previously shot
during the project. After GPS locating the features a second time, SAM will compile and process the results against all data
sets and verify that the required accuracy tolerance is being met.
Check plots are a crucial and unique step required in all SAM projects. Although every effort is made to investigate, locate
and properly map each asset, the input and feedback of the utility personnel is imperative to the approval of final data.
Our project management team works with client staff to ensure we handle each piece of data properly and clients have
the final say in how data is represented. Our efforts to ensure the highest quality products and services include:
• Custom QA/QC ArcGIS tools
• “Heads-up” QA/QC against base data or aerial photography
• Digital and hard-copy checks against field notes and as-built drawings
• Five (5)% redundancy check of all GPS collected data
• Printed check plots for review by the city
• Assurance that end product shows complete connectivity
• Reviewing pipe videos for compliance and completeness
• Formulating quality control standards
• Maintaining data and check logs
• Overseeing inspection activity throughout the project cycle
• Daily reporting
To make project management simple and efficient, we make various Esri applications from the ArcGIS Online suite
available to our customers. The Workforce, Collector, and Survey 123 applications enable our customers to manage work
order flow, review real-time production in the field, and run various reports.
The SAM Team can integrate both high-definition scans and conventional CCTV-recorded observations directly to your GIS
program, enabling you to select which observation layer to geographically view and query quantities for instant decision
making. The SAM Team routinely integrates the accurate GPS locations of
assets, connections, observations, defects, and NASSCO pipe ratings into
a GIS database during inspection and can deliver via shape files or geo-
databases. The data can include pipe slopes, invert elevations, and any
other specified information to eliminate thousands of hours spent sorting,
reviewing, and prioritizing critical pipe data.
