Specifications include, but are not limited to: Using the information gathered from the records research, the consultant shall develop and implement a strategic plan to maximize the speed and accuracy of lead service line identification while minimizing in-field verification, using empirical and/or predictive analysis of gathered data.

This should include obtaining assistance and “self verifications” by customers and using personnel to inspect visible portions of the service lines. The consultant shall determine, coordinate and provide the following services: swabbing of service lines, visual inspection of service lines and plumbing inside of homes or businesses to eliminate as many unknowns as possible. Any customer that declines to participate, or, does not respond to requests for entry for inspections should be able to be identified in the inventory. Any property that is visited in the field shall have the curb box located using a high accuracy GPS GNSS receiver. The location and schema shall be associated with its own layer for use in an ESRI based GIS. The Schema for data collection shall be jointly developed by the consultant and WWW. Additionally, the consultant shall provide brief reports of inspections including: water sampling, customer surveys, photographs of all locations entered, and service lines inspected.
