The final deliverable will comply with the EPA’s five core framework categories. The City of Dover will provide monitoring and updates to the plan internally with staff. A breakdown of each category is provided below: 1. Current State of Assets The city currently has all water and wastewater assets georeferenced and labeled in our GIS inventory. The awarded consultant will utilize current records from the city to evaluate the current condition, useful life and value. The evaluation will include all pump stations, well houses, elevated water tanks, water treatment plant, water mains, wastewater gravity mains, wastewater force mains, valves and manholes. The inventory will be assembled using a template provided by EPA, or similar, to create a centralized database for the city to utilize for years. This inventory will provide a rating system for each piece of infrastructure. 2. Level of Service The awarded consultant will be required to provide a level of service statement for both the water and wastewater utility. This will take into account all regulatory requirements for each utility and what the expectation of the customer should be with the service they are receiving. The deliverable will provide performance standards that the city can track and report on in future years. 3. Critical Assets The consultants will prioritize each asset utilizing a scoring matrix to identify the highest rated pieces of infrastructure for each utility. The report will also provide the risk of each asset failing and what impact it would create on the system, the physical cost to repair the asset, along with any social or environmental cost. A probability of failure rating will be provided to each asset, this will be created by reviewing asset decay curves. The report will provide a roadmap on improvements for the city to utilize with future capital planning.
