1Description of Service

1.1Overview

This Part 4 of the report addresses the assessment of the capacity, condition and compliance of the wastewater systems at <site>, incorporating <list sub-sites>. The assessments are based on a combination of existing information made available to the assessment team and site inspections and investigations to obtain any missing data necessary to complete the analysis.

1.1.1Summary of Waste Water Systems

Outline the extent of service, what comprises this service on this site, its breakup and how it works

PHASE 1 Guidance: If parts of this table cannot be completed, or this section is partially incomplete, discuss the incomplete issues and explain why here:

1.1.2[AW1]Network Gross Replacement Value [AW2]

The estimated Gross Replacement Value (GRV) provides an indication of the cost liability for the existing waste water network at <site>, should the entire system be replaced in a ‘like for like’ arrangement and to current standards. The GRV is based on current infrastructure cost rates, with an efficiency factor applied to represent the likely reductions in cost that could be achieved by replacing the entire network at once, as opposed to repairing or upgrading localised areas of the network (as per the individual BEAP recommendations).

Table 1 summarises the estimated Gross Replacement Value for the Waste Water network by sub-service.

Table 1 | Waste Water Network GRV

Sub service / Description / Estimated GRV ($) 1
Sewerage network / $ xxxxxx
Sewage Pump Stations and rising mains / $ xxxxxx
Trade waste / $ xxxxxx
Sewage Treatment Plant / $ xxxxxx
Total / $ xxxxxx

Notes:

  1. The Gross Replacement value is a capital investment cost current as of 2015, with a level of confidence of P50. The cost estimates exclude, preliminaries (design, project management, etc.), contingency, escalation, inflation for future CPI increases, as well as provision for base support activities, periodic maintenance, latent conditions and site contamination.
  2. The cost estimates exclude potential efficiencies that could be achieved by rationalising or extending the systems and are based on a ‘like for like’ replacement.

1.1.3Waste Water Assessment Outcomes

The table below outlines the assessment outcome for each of the services main components

To complete table 2 above refer to table 5 for results and Input the cost and resultant number of issues from Appendix A.1 data for each waste water system component.

PHASE 1 Guidance: If parts of this table cannot be completed, or this section is partially incomplete, discuss the incomplete issues and explain why here:

Notes for table 2
  1. The spare capacity indicator represents the percentage of network assets which have a capacity rating of ‘within limits’.
  2. Costs estimates are capital investment costs current as of 2015, with a level of confidence of P50. The cost estimates exclude, preliminaries (design, project management etc), contingency, escalation, inflation for future CPI increases, as well as provision for base support activities, periodic maintenance, latent conditions and site contamination. These costs comprise WHS immediate works (P1), urgent repairs or upgrades works within 1 year (P2), short term repair or upgrade works due within the next 1-5 year period (P3), medium term repairs or upgrade works due before 10 years (P4), and long term replacement costs as assets reach the end of their useful life >10 year period (P5).
  3. The percentage of GRV figure compares the value of the required remediation works with the replacement value of the entire subservice.

A full breakdown of issues, risk, priority, recommended remedial actions and cost is provided at Appendix A.1.

1.1.4Waste Water Assessment Outcomes by Risk

The table below summarises the level of risk for each sub service element resulting from the risk assessment of each issue using the ERAT method.

1.1.5Waste Water Assessment Outcomes by Priority

The table below summarises the number of issues in each priority category along with the estimated cost of completing the recommended remedial actions. The assessment has been carried out using the prioritised work request (WR) categorisation system These include WHS immediate works (P1), urgent repairs or upgrades works required within a year (P2), short term repairs or upgradeswithin the next 1-5 year period (P3), medium term repairs or upgrade works (P4) due before 10 years, and long term replacement costs as assets reach the end of their useful life (P5), >10 year period.

List the resultant (by exception only) key issues / service components, ie only P1 and P2 (noting the total Cost and Issues” figures) and their associated risks, and issues with Very High and High risk ratings and their associated remedial actions (noting total cost.

1.3Proposed Redevelopment Scope

Table 6 | Proposed Redevelopment Scope[AW3]

Sub Service / Proposed Scope / Cost Estimate1,2

Notes for Table 6:

  1. Costs estimates are capital investment costs current as of 2015, with a level of confidence of P50. The cost estimates therefore exclude preliminaries (design, project management etc), contingency, escalation, inflation for future CPI increases, as well as provision for base support activities, periodic maintenance, latent conditions and site contamination.
  2. Value for money would be achieved where works are delivered as one project and brought forward in the program which would remove the need for the scheduled urgent repairs or upgrades works.

Very High and High risk items which can be appropriatelyaddressed through the Maintenance program, are excluded from the redevelopment scope detailed in Table 3. These include….<insert details>

The following Medium and Low risk items wereincluded in the redevelopment scope because of .... <for ACs to populate depending on the reason why mediums and lows were included e.g. pipe replacement (Med) has been included in the proposed scope due to the significant efficiencies in time, cost and reduced disruption to the base in undertaking these works in parallel with the valve replacements (High).

Some commentary should be provided with regards to the expected timeframes of the above recommendations. If the majority falls in 15 years but a significant element (e.g. Water Supply replacement) is required in a much shorter timeframe (e.g. works may need to be split) highlight this to assist the reader’s interpretation of the above.

1.4Recommendations for Maintenance and Changes to Practice

A number of changes to current maintenance and operational practices are required to ensure the capacity, condition and compliance of <site name> waste water network can be maintained. These maintenance and operational practices are also required to inform the timing for the some of the remedial actions included in the issues register, which may in turn impact the timing of the base redevelopment works. The recommended changes to <site name> maintenance and operational practices (including cost estimates) are noted in Table 4. These practices are also included in the issues register in Appendix A1.

Table 7 | Recommended maintenance and changes to practice

Category / Noted issue from assessment / Recommendations for maintenance or changes to practice / Cost estimate ($) 1 / Frequency

Notesfor table 7:

  1. Costs estimates are estimated maintenance costs current as of 2015 with a frequency as noted and with a level of confidence of P50. The cost estimates therefore exclude preliminaries (design, project management etc), contingency, escalation, inflation for future CPI increases, as well as provision for latent conditions and site contamination. Where cost estimates are not provided, the maintenance and changes to practice are understood to be captured by existing contract arrangements with no net increase in cost expected

If there were any issues in obtaining the required assessment data these issues must be discussed here. Where ‘alternative’ data sources have been used, they should be discussed here to confirm their relevance and how they have been used to substitute for the ‘ideal’ data source[AW5].

Discussion should also include any Phase 1 recommendations that were agreed, including:

  • the risks associated with any gaps in the available information
  • subjective assessment at completion of Phase 1 based on the known information
