Deliverables: • Requirements Matrix and Data Dictionary • Identification of Hydrants to Flush • GIS Based Data Collection Application • SOP • QA\QC Plan • Training Documentation • Training for Crews and Required Staff Task 6 — Valve Exercising Program Application Arcadis will assist the City with developing a valve exercising program application that takes the City's current "paper" practice and makes it digital. Valve exercising programs, often employed for maintenance and testing of isolation valves in the distribution system, will require valve locational based information to be captured along with valve turn direction and number of turns to close. Arcadis will work with the City to identify the valves that are part of the City's current program and additional valves that may be desired to be added based on valve size, number of critical customers, and number of serves associated with the valve. Once the City's water model is developed and calibrated by others, the model could be used in the future to identify additional critical valves and can be added as additional services to the valve exercising application. Arcadis will identify requirements, provide analysis, develop, test, provide SOP, develop Quality Assurance and Control (QA\QC) plan, and train staff on a data collection application to support the City's Valve Exercising Program. The requirements identification will include up to 4 hours meeting with the City to identify specific data points that need to be captured. This will also include a "brainstorming" session to identify additional information that could be used for other programs or by other City departments and to build upon the City's current parameters used based on Arcadis' experience with other utilities. The application will be developed and implemented on the City's ArcGIS Portal environment. The City will have the ability to add or remove valves from the program, as well as the frequency of exercising. Iterative testing will be performed, and updates will be made as required by the requirements previously documented. An SOP document will be developed to outline worked performed and steps required to physically perform the valve exercising. A QA\QC plan will be developed that will provide the City with a tool to ensure expectations are met and to help evaluate the performance of the valve exercising crew(s). Finally, training and documentation on the application will be provided to staff and crews.
