Capital Planning for Shawnee County, Kansas, the Easy Way
The Public Works Department of Shawnee County, Kansas recently completed the first project phase of a program to clean, televise and evaluate the pipes of their sanitary sewer system. The current project consisted of the cleaning and televising of approximately 105,000 ft of sewer pipes in 1,350 acres of four of the County’s sewer districts. The pipes were inspected and defects were identified and rated using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) pipeline assessment and certification program (PACP) scoring system. In addition, all of the pipe segments and their associated defect data were linked to the County’s geographic information system (GIS). Bartlett & West developed computation algorithms to calculate overall rating scores for each pipe in all four sewer districts. The pipes in all districts were then ranked for their comparative condition. Based on the pipe score, each pipe was recommended for improvement consisting of either replacement, point repairs, or lining. The costs associated with each pipe improvement were also automatically calculated using current cost factors. The website has provisions for multiple and nested queries. However, a standard set of queries was developed to allow rapid evaluation and computation of repair and rehabilitation costs. These standard queries can be made with as little as three clicks of the computer mouse. This “easy button” capability allows for rapid collection system understanding by County decision makers for use in planning their capital improvement plan (CIP) and assessing the need for rate increases.
