Project Description Contract No. GD-0013 involves the following work in the City of Vernon, State of California. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The City is preparing to assess the integrity of its ten -inch natural gas transmission line as required by the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The method of assessment to be used by the city is in -line inspection (ILI). In order to do ILI, the pipeline must have constructed a launcher and receiver (traps) to accommodate the pipeline inspection gauges (PIGS) that will travel through the pipeline. Additionally, the city will place out of service two sections of pipeline, each one immediately East of the locations of the two traps to be constructed. See the gas system map in Appendix B. SCOPE OF WORK This project involves work adjacent to both of Vernon's natural gas regulator stations, one located on Bandini Road East of Downey, and one located on Downey Road North of Fruitland Avenue. The work involves excavation into the two streets, replacement of two existing tees with barred tees, installation of piping to accommodate traps located off the street, installation of two precast vaults, and fabrication and assembly of two portable traps. Contractor may work at both locations simultaneously; however, gas service and pressure must remain in place at one of the locations at all times. In conjunction with the installation of the barred tees and ells to turn off the street, two sections of the line will also be extended to the curb, capped to be taken out of service, and injected with a permanent nitrogen blanket. Engineering plans are attached in Appendix C, providing detail for the work to be done. Contractor shall be responsible the following. 1. Natural Gas Operator Qualification. All contractor personnel performing work on Vernon's gas pipeline must be Operator Qualified for specific tasks performed consistent with CFR 49, Part 192, Subpart N. Contractor shall provide evidence of such qualification to the City, consistent with Vernon's Operator Qualification Plan. Further, contractor shall specify work to be done by employees of contractor versus work to be done by subcontractors, if any. In addition, all work shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of the most current edition of "Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction" (commonly known as "the Green Book") including Supplements, prepared and promulgated by the Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association and the Associated General Contractors of California, which specifications are hereinafter referred to as the "Standard Specifications." The provisions of these Standard Specifications shall apply to the work performed under this Agreement, unless different standards are agreed to in writing by the City. - B-4 - 2. Traffic Control. Work in the streets shall be limited from 9 am to 3 pm and will require traffic control, closing at least one lane and shifting other lanes of traffic. The excavation sites may be steel plated after hours by contractor. Satellite pictures are included in the attached drawings showing the location of the gas pipeline within each of the road locations. 3. Excavation. Backfill. and Repave. Contractor shall be responsible for saw cutting, excavation, proper disposal of excavation materials, backfill with sand or zero sack slurry around pipe, backfill of slurry above pipe, and replacement of asphalt smooth and consistent with existing surface when done. Contractor shall obtain proper encroachment permits from the City before commencing work. 4. Cutting and Welding High Pressure Gas Transmission Pile. Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, reconfiguring, and welding Vernon's ten inch transmission line at the two work locations as specified in the attached drawings. Additionally, contractor shall procure and fabricate materials to construct and install two barred tees and the two portable traps detailed in the attached drawings, including the two permanent vaults shown. All fabricated materials for this job shall become property of the City. Contractor shall provide evidence before commencing work that welders are properly certified to weld high pressure gas transmission line. City shall be responsible for independent visual inspection of welding as it is done, as well as radiographic inspections after the welding is complete. 5. Gas Line Out of Service During Contractor Work. Prior to contractor commencing work, Vernon personnel shall take out of service and vent gas to atmospheric pressure the sections of line to be modified. Contractor shall be responsible for nitrogen purge and making safe for pipeline work. 6. Permanent Nitrogen Blanket for Out -of -Service Sections. Contractor shall be responsible to purge with nitrogen the two sections of line to be taken out of service, leaving the nitrogen pressure at 15 psig. These sections are also shown on the attached system map. The section along Bandini is 1.4 miles in length, and the section north and east of Downey road is 1.7 miles in length. Conveniently, both these sections already have four inch valves installed in vaults in the sidewalks at their Eastern ends. 7. Fencing. Contractor shall be responsible to modify permanent fencing as shown on drawing for the Bandini location, including a gate to accommodate trap and kicker line. The Contractor shall provide temporary construction fencing at Bandini and Downey locations to surround each site. No permanent fencing modifications are needed at the Downey site. 8. Post Construction Support Running Pigs and Standby Service During Pigging (Optional). Vernon may request support loading pigs into the launcher, moderating gas head pressure during pigging, recovering pigs at the receiver, and trouble shooting. We plan three runs with three pigs: 1) Foam pig with deformation plate, 2) Smart pig to map gross physical deformation and measure pipe turns, and 3) Magnetic Flux Resonance pig to measure for corrosion or other smaller defects in the pipeline. If contractor has personnel that are Operator Qualified and experienced, please identify and propose accordingly. 9. Post Construction. Removal of Traps and Piping Upon Completion of Assessment Work. Vernon shall remove and store the traps and apparatus upon completion of its assessment work. 15.

Thank you. =� Attachment c: Resolution No. 2012-63 aoia �3 RECEIVED APR 2 6 2012 RECEIVED C, INISTRATION APR 26 2012 STAFF REPORT CITY CLERK'S OFFICE LIGHT & POWER DATE: April 26, 2012 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Carlos R. Fandino Jr., Director of Light & PowerCW RE: 2012 Natural Gas Transmission Line Assessment PURPOSE Vernon's gas transmission system commenced operation in 2005 with the beginning of operation of MGS. The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates pipeline safety and requires that every seven years gas transmission lines be assessed for safety. Accordingly, Vernon is required to assess its transmission line in 2012. Staff recommends using In -Line test Instruments (ILI) for the assessment. This method involves inserting into the pipeline sophisticated test instruments and pushing them through the line using natural gas a propellant. Vernon's gas line was not originally set up for ILI testing and needs to be modified to accommodate these devices. Modifications are proposed adjacent to the Bandini and Fruitland regulator stations. The work involves excavation and replacement of two existing tees with barred tees, installation of piping to accommodate traps located off the street, installation of two precast vaults, and fabrication and assembly of two portable traps. In conjunction with the installation of the barred tees and ells to turn off the street, two sections of the line will also be extended to the curb, capped to be taken out of service, and injected with a permanent nitrogen blanket. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this contract be approved and authority be granted to advertise the attached Capital Improvement Project (CIP) at the May 1, 2012 meeting. FISCAL IMPACT Not to exceed $300,000.00. CRF:ah
