Statewide Stormwater Assessment Program (SSAP)
Description
The Statewide Stormwater Assessment Program (SSAP) is a program that can be employed to locate, map, evaluate, assess, and incorporate into GIS the existing stormwater pipe and conveyance systems along State and/or Federal Highways. It is currently managed by the Overhead/Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Team in the State Utilities Office. The benefits to the Department include:
- Accurate and timely information for planning, design, maintenance
- Pipe/conveyance conditions and ratings for incorporation into an Asset Management database/the Department’s GIS database
- Possible reduction in project costs by allowing the Department to make informed planning, design, maintenance decisions
Current Program Status
Future Requests for Statement of Qualifications will be published at the DOAS Procurement Site.
Design Aids and Guidelines For GDOT SSAP Consultants
Listed below are the design aids and guidelines that are to be used when performing SSAP work for GDOT. These have been put in place to ensure the following:
- Proper coordination with Department Personnel
- Adherence to the Department's Plan Development Process (PDP)
- Quality SSAP Deliverables
GIS – The GDOT is currently supporting ArcMap (version 9.3 or greater). Refer to the project’s Scope of Services for specific GIS requirements.
GDOT Microstation Workspace – For projects requiring CADD, the GDOT is currently supporting Microstation versions J and V8i. All SSAP Consultants need to ensure they are using the appropriate Workspace that is applicable to the project's scope. The Workspaces include the current custom menus, cell libraries, and linestyles that are employed and required when preparing plans for the Department.
Electronic Data Guidelines (EDG) - For projects requiring CADD, the GDOT is currently supporting an EDG for each of the versions of Microstation mentioned above. All SSAP Consultants need to adhere to the appropriate version, based on the project's scope, to ensure that all work is prepared in accordance to the most current GDOT Standards.
SSAP Scope of Services - This is the current SSAP Scope of Services to be included in all GDOT contracts utilizing SSAP.
SSAP Geodatabase Schema – This is the current schema of the feature classes for the conveyances, structures, ponds, and CCTV defects. The defect codes in the schema were developed in association with currently available standards established by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) and the Water Research Centre (WRc).
GDOT SSAP Project Workflow Overview - This flowchart illustrates an overview of the typical GDOT SSAP Workflow processes to be followed for all SSAP projects.
SSAP Submittal, Review, & Acceptance Process (.pdf, 88K) - This flowchart illustrates the typical process followed when the SSAPConsultant submits their Deliverables to GDOT for review.
SSAP Deliverables Checklist - The SSAP Deliverables Checklist offers the current minimum requirements for GDOT SSAP projects as an organized collection of information or a series of options. It is provided as a benefit to the SSAP Provider and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment, education, and experience. Not all items on the Checklist may be applicable in all circumstances as each project may have many unique aspects that should be considered. This Checklist has been prepared in accordance with recognized engineering principles, standards, and practices. It should not be used without the user’s competent knowledge of these principles, standards, and practices. Satisfying this checklist does not guarantee approval of the SSAP Deliverables as other comments may apply.
