Si pson Chief Execut ve Officer Michael D. Simpson Chief Executive Officer 3406 Enterprise Avenue Valparaiso, IN 46383 800.255.1521 T 888.531.2444 F Michael.Simpson@mesimpson.com M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. I Fire Hydrant I / atermain Capacity Testing Program Page 1 Fire Hydrant Flow/Watermain Capacity Testing Program The Field ScopeService for the Fire Hydrant FIB a er ain Capacity Testing Program is understood to be the following: M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will furnish all labor, material, transportation, tools, and equipment necessary to flow test hydrants in the water distribution system selected by the Utility. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. shall be required to provide such skilled and trained personnel and equipment necessary to complete the work herein specified. There will be a minimum of Two Per o�ns er�team crKi!lg_ pthe fir Hy+dr i tcar�r t �rrt�ra�, Cppggit Testing rgr m ,at all times. Work in an orderly and safe manner to insure protection of the local residents, Utility employees, and the Field Staff so that no avoidable accidents occur. All Field Staff will have readily observable identification badges worn while in the field. All vehicles used in the field will have company signs attached. The flow testing equipment to be used will be that which was described in the "Equipment to be used" section. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. Personnel will meet with the Utility to review the project guidelines and answer any questions on procedures. The initial layout of the project will need to involve distribution Utility staff to help identify the flow patterns in the distribution system, flow testing from larger mains into smaller mains, from the water sources (pump stations and water storage structures), out into the system loops and dead ends. Any pressure zones in the distribution system will be identified on the water atlas prior to developing the fire hydrant flow -testing program. This will need to be done with distribution personnel prior to the start of the program. As a part of the Fire Hydrant Flow/Watermain Capacity Testing program, mapping discrepancies found on the current water atlas will be noted and included as a part of the final report so the Utility can make needed corrections. This will be included as a part of the periodic reporting to the Utility, thus enabling the Utility to keep up with mapping corrections. A progression map shall be maintained for each section under study indicating hydrants assessed on the map. This will be especially helpful in quickly determining the work progress of the crews in the field. It may be necessary to conduct parts of the Fire Hydrant Flow/Watermain Capacity Testing during "off hours" such as at night. This may be required in areas of high traffic volume where traffic may affect the ability to conduct safe flow testing, and traffic volume may affect the ability of the Project Team to be able to safely access hydrants on busy streets. The Project Team will give 24-hour advanced notice of intent to flow test hydrants in a particular area that may require after hours work or nighttime work. This is so the Utility can plan for the area to be worked in, give notification to the Police department, as well as other Public Works Divisions as to the activity that will take place. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will use large flow testing signs in designated areas to notify areas to be tested and inspected. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. can provide the Utility an informational letter briefly explaining the fire hydrant flow -testing program to include with the customer's normal water bill. Frequently, special mailings are used for customer notification. If you choose a special mailing, the Village will be responsible for the postage and printing costs. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. I Fire Hydrant Flow/ atermain Capacity TestinProgram p< rc, ♦ M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. can issue a press release to briefly explain the fire hydrant flow -testing program and the areas affected. The press releases can be sent to; local newspapers, local radio stations and the Cable Company. This type of customer notification can greatly reduce the number of customer complaints about dirty water. ♦ All of the fire hydrants will be recorded on the water atlas and assigned numbers, using your existing numbering system or by creating a numbering system for you, prior to the development of the fire hydrant flow -testing program. This data is critical to establishing an effective and water conserving fire hydrant flow -testing program. ♦ All of the pertinent information for each fire hydrant that is flow -tested will be documented. This data is critical to establishing an ongoing flow -testing and maintenance program. The following is a list of the information gathered. o If requested, all Fire Hydrant caps will be greased for ease of operation o Fire Hydrant nozzle size used for each test will be recorded o Residual Pressure will be recorded for each Fire Hydrant tested o Static Pressure will be recorded for each Fire Hydrant o Flow, GPM (Gallons Per Minute), will be recorded for each Fire Hydrant flowed o The amount of time it takes to flush each Fire Hydrant will be recorded. An estimate will be made of the amount of water used during the operation of each Fire Hydrant test o Fire Hydrants that are in need of repair, painting, color coding, or have operation defects will be noted with an estimate of repairs needed to make the hydrant operational. o The date tested and technicians operating the Fire Hydrant will be recorded. o The Fire Hydrant address or location will be recorded. ♦ The Project team will set up the flow testing program in such a way that hydrants are operated near the water source first, then the team will move away from the water source in an organized manner to keep water discoloration and distribution disturbances to a minimum. The "flow" hydrant shall be downstream of the "residual" hydrant, thus insuring proper residual readings for full potential fire flow (re: AWWA M-17 manual, page 41). ♦ Fire hose and deflection tubes will be utilized, as required, to direct flushing water away from traffic, pedestrians, underground Utility vaults, and private property. ♦ Pressure gauges are used to determine the residual pressure during the flow -testing process while insuring that the distribution system pressure remains above 20 psi. Any incidents of the distribution system being unable to supply a residual of 20 psi in the surrounding area will be brought to the immediate attention of the Utility Superintendent. ♦ After the Fire Hydrant has been flushed, M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will verify that the hydrant is seated and is draining properly. We will also check the Fire Hydrant with a FCS S30 or Gutermann AquaScope electronic listening device to ensure that the hydrant is not leaking. A majority of fire hydrant leaks go un-noticed because they are small leaks draining out through the drain holes at the base of the hydrant. Using the S30 or Gutermann AquaScope will help eliminate this type of leakage. ♦ All pressure gauges used in the field will undergo dai t a against a "standard" gauge to insure the field gauges are accurate during the flow -testing project. Any gauges that are found to not be within acceptable limits will be replaced with gauges that are within accepted standards. This will insure the observed static and residual pressures are accurate and reliable. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. I Fire Hydrant Flo / aterain Capacity `resting Program Page 3 Fire Hydrant Operation, Flow-Testin M.E.

Project Team will welcome having staff of the Utility observe field procedures while the flushing program is in progress. They will be happy to explain and demonstrate the equipment and techniques that are employed by M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. for calculations of fire flows. This may be useful for the staff of the Utility in understanding the parameters of hydrant flow testing, especially during an emergency such as a fire where proper flow is needed for the fire department. Final Reports, IDocurn ntatilun & Coimirnunications M.E„ Simpson Co., Inc, will perform thefollowing: Project Team will meet daily with assigned Utility personnel to go over areas of flow testing for prior workdays and plan current day and next two days' areas to flow test. At the end of each day, or as requested, a list of any broken or inoperable valves or hydrants will be turned in. Each step of the fire hydrant flow -testing program will be identified and the hydrants used for each flow -test will be documented in a fire hydrant flow -testing report. Maintain a progression map to be included with the final report of the project indicating areas flow tested and areas that have been tagged for flow testing. The Utility will be provided with flow information in Pro -IMaps""/Piro-HydranOl an electronic fire hydrant database. This documentation allows for the flow -testing program to be repeated at a later date. This electronic program is designed to be a complete system for your Utility to establish an effective fire hydrant flow testing, flushing and maintenance program. The electronic database provides an inventory record system, hydrant maintenance and scheduling. The database includes a complete hydrant flow - testing program for calculating flow test results. Pro -Maps1"/I3ro-Hydrant"' is a hydrant record database (ODBC). This data will be available in an electronic format to the Utility with the appropriate access. The data will be maintained offsite at a secure location. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. can also provide the Piro-IMaps""/Pro-HydranV1, electronic database, that has the abilities to access and reproduce and edit all aforementioned hydrant location and flow testing information. This program will have the capability to generate upon demand: The individual Hydrant Flow Test reports that includes the flow test data, static pressure and residual pressure, and potential flow at 20psi. A summary listing of all Hydrants with identified defects. A complete listing of all Hydrants by numerical or indexed order. A complete listing of all Hydrants by alphabetically reference to street and cross street names. All pertinent information such as port size, number of ports, flow test results, general condition of the hydrant, and color coding for the NFPA rating. Hydrant location will be documented from existing landmarks and will be a part of each Hydrant record. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. I Fire Hydrant Flow/Watermain Capacity Testing r ra Page 5 Information collected by M.E.
