Re: Engineering Services
Hydrant Flushing and Flow Testing, Hydraulic Model Improvements and GIS Updates
Dear Mr.Willett:
As requested, Weston &Sampson Engineers, Inc. (ENGINEER) is providing a Scope of Services for completing
the Hydrant Flushing and Flow Testing, Hydraulic Model Improvements and GIS Updates Project for the Town of
North Andover, hereinafter referred to as the TOWN. The following Scope of Services also includes the time of
project,fee,and attached insurance and hourly billing rates,hereinafter referred to as the AGREEMENT.
ARTICLE 1 -ENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINEER AND STANDARD OF CARE
1.1 THE OWNER hereby engages the ENGINEER,and the ENGINEER hereby accepts the engagement to perform
certain professional engineering services for the Hydrant Flushing and Flow Testing, Hydraulic Model
Improvements and GIS Updates,hereinafter called the PROJECT.
1.2 The ENGINEER's services shall be performed in a manner consistent with that degree of skill and care
ordinarily exercised by practicing design professionals performing similar services in the same locality,at the
same site and under the same or similar circumstances and conditions. The ENGINEER makes no other
representations or warranties,whether expressed or implied,with respect to the services rendered hereunder.
ARTICLE 2-SCOPE OF SERVICES
The PROJECT will include engineering services related to systemwide hydrant flushing and water flow testing to
gather data on existing water system conditions for updating the hydraulic model. It is our understanding that
approximately half of the water system will be flushed by June 30, 2021 and the remaining portion of the system
will be flushed by December 1,2021. Flushing routes will be completed, as weather and water demands permit,
based on flushing maps provided by the TOWN. Periodic flow tests will be performed by the flushing crew while
they are performing hydrant flushing. For this project, approximately 750 hydrants (estimated at 15 hydrants per
day with minimal valve closures required)will be flushed and approximately 35 flow tests will be completed.Based
on the information provided by the TOWN and collected by the hydrant/flow testing team,the existing hydraulic
model and GIS mapping will be updated as noted below.
2.1 The ENGINEER agrees to perform the following tasks during the hydrant flushing and flow testing engineering
services phase of the PROJECT:
2.1.1 Coordinate and conduct a project kick-off meeting to collect information and discuss flushing and flow
testing procedures with the TOWN.
2.1.2 Data Solutions—Prepare front end setup of iPad for data collection (forms,mapping,GIS)with mobile
capabilities through !DataCollect. Monthly iDataCollect and !Pad cell service fees are included in the
project cost.
2.1.3 Provide 2-person flushing and flow testing crew and associated equipment to perform flushing of
approximately 750 hydrants and approximately 35 flow tests.At least one person on the crew will have
a water distribution operator license in order to operate valves and hydrants as needed to perform the
work.After each hydrant is dosed,the crew will use a listening device to confirm there are no residual
leaks.
2.1.4 Flushing and flow testing crew will coordinate with ENGINEER's office staff and the TOWN should any
deficiencies or concerns be identified during the course of this work. Items such as out of service
hydrant or concerns identified by local residents will be notified to the TOWN daily.A weekly summary
report identifying the work completed each week that also identifies the projected areas and schedule
for the upcoming week shall be provided to the TOWN.

2.1.5 For more highly traveled roadways,the TOWN maybe asked to provide a DPW vehicle to accompany
the crew in lieu of using police details.
2.1.6 The TOWN shall provide at least one (1)week advanced notice if the flushing or flow testing services
crew is requested to stop work by the TOWN.Additional fees may apply if less than one(1)week notice
is not provided.
2.2 The ENGINEER agrees to perform the following tasks during the hydraulic model improvements and GIS updates
phase of the PROJECT:
2.2.1 Using record plans provided by the TOWN or held in-house, update the GIS with water system
improvements completed since 2010 (approximately 10 water main plan sheets). Attributes to be
collected for all features will be:year installed,water main material and diameter,valves open/closed
state and valve type,network structures(meter vault,valve vault, etc.).
2.2.2 Water System Mapping Consolidation--Perform data review on features not currently in the existing
copy of ENGINEER's GIS and incorporate where appropriate.These include up to:
■ 250 hydrants—attribute data will be reviewed and flow data preserved where the "HYDRANTID"
attribute agrees between datasets.
■ 150 valves—review will include a search for available record plans that will allow confirmation,prior
to importation.
■ 200 main line and 250 lateral pipe segments
2.2.3 Upgrade GIS to file geodatabase and enable editor tracking. Ensure systemwide connectivity and
perform topographical verification.Where resolution cannot be discerned,discrepancy reports will be
created.These will include a map and description of the error.Discrepancy reports will be provided to
the TOWN and ENGINEER shall update the GIS accordingly upon receipt of feedback on the
discrepancies by the TOWN.
2.2.4 Evaluate water assets to ensure model readiness. This will include an assessment and correction of
deficiencies in topology where mains are not snapped to one another. Nodes will be assigned at the
beginning and end of each main segment and will be identified by a unique number. Use these'from'
and'to'nodes to construct a unique identifier for the mains,for example: main"1- "will be that which
exists between node"1"and node'2".Nodes will be assigned an elevation based on the most recent
publicly available VDAR data collection of sufficient resolution and accuracy available on MassGIS.
2.2.5 Interpolate pipe material and C-Values,where necessary for the entire water system.The identification
of pipe material will be noted in a field called'model material'.This will be equal to the main's'material'
attribute where that attribute is available but will be an interpreted value where it is not. Information
used in interpreting the pipe material for use in the model will include local institutional knowledge of
the system,material on adjacent connecting pipes or those proximal of the same install year if such is
available, and the install year itself. Install date similarly will have an assumed install date that will be
populated with the date is known but interpreted in much the same way where it is not.Using these
data an additional attribute of C-Value will be populated on the water main assets.C-values will be
assigned based on the unique pair of values represented between these two fields.These C-Values
will be importable into the model.
2.2.6 The ENGINEER will review the most recent billing data as provided by the TOWN and distribute the
demand geographically,usuallythis is accomplished by address. These demands will be summarized
on the water system nodes and available for importation into the model.
2.2.7 The ENGINEER will provide the OWNER with PDF maps of the water distribution system and up to 4
PDF maps of model results depicting system pressure, headloss, fire flow, and velocity. The model
results will also be made available in the TOWN's ArcGIS online organization for use in desktop and
mobile applications.
2.2.8 Using the TOWN's existing hydraulic model, the ENGINEER will update water demands. Use the
TOWN's recent water usage statistics broken down by account to update water demand scenarios.
These demands will be distributed using updated GIS information, based on address, and then
proportioned to the proper node. Examine the top water users in the TOWN (typically the top 10 or 15
users or users that make up the top 10% or 15% by volume) and prepare typical diurnal patterns
representative of their type of water use for the average and maximum day demand scenarios.Prepare
average day,maximum day,and peak hour water demands in the model.
2.2.9 Update WTP and storage tanks sources and incorporate flow testing crew's data and any recent flow
test data provided by the TOWN. Create extended period simulation (EPS) scenarios. The hydraulic
model will be constructed to run for up to 2 days under average day demand conditions and up to 24
hours under maximum day demand conditions.

2.2.10 Model Calibration— Review calibration of the model. Simulate closed or partially closed valves and
adjust C-values where appropriate to closely match the flow testing information.Review how the water
sources of supply are modeled and compare water flows into and within the water model with real-life
scenarios.
2.2.11 Review the data with the TOWN to identify discrepancies between the field and model data.
2.2.12 Prepare a technical memorandum on how the model was updated and summarize and discrepancies
identified through the process.
