alternating weekly basis. The submittals shall be cumulative (i.e. each successive database

delivery will include previous deliveries as well). CONTRACTOR shall provide OWNER

with a final external hard drive capable of storing all anticipated data for the project upon

completion. The final hard drive shall be submitted on the first weekly submittal with the

first week of data loaded and will become property of the OWNER upon project

completion. Data to be submitted shall include: 1) Modified NASSCO MACP/PACP

Database files, 2) JPEG (.jpg) files (still photos), 3) PDF of each Manhole Inspection Form

and Zoom Camera Inspection Form., 4) exhibits and diagrams demonstrating configuration

and connectivity of the pipe system as determined during the inspections and noting

discrepancies between the OWNER provided GIS data and field collected data and 5)

exhibits and diagrams showing approximate X and Y location of all buried manholes and

any manholes located during completion of the work that are not included in the OWNER’s

GIS.

C. Each database submittal shall indicate the range of dates for which the database is being

submitted as well as a list of new items as of the last submittal referenced by asset ID so

that the OWNER may separate out and review the newly delivered records from previous

submittals in an Excel format.

D. The databases shall be cumulative, with one database each for Modified MACP Level 1

Inspection and one for PACP Zoom Camera Inspections. Each subsequent submittal shall

be added into these databases. Throughout the duration of the project, should ENGINEER

discover inaccuracies in any of the data, CONTRACTOR shall re-inspect those manholes

and/or pipes at no additional cost to the ENGINEER or OWNER.

E. Databases, digital photographs and supporting documentation (PDF, spreadsheets), etc.

should be placed in separate folders on the hard drives. Separate subfolders shall not be

used to separate files under the main folder. All digital photographs, etc. of the same file

type should be placed in a single folder on the hard drive in order to provide a single

location to access the data.

F. A final, compiled version of the inspection databases in modified MACP and PACP

Exchange format must be delivered at the end of the project to the OWNER through the

ENGINEER. The final databases must include all inspection records previously delivered

in the individual inspections as well as incorporate all requested changes by the

ENGINEER and OWNER. The database filename will use the format provided by the

OWNER.
