Implemented an on-site Health and Wellness clinic at no cost to employees. No across the board premium increase since 2012. Employees currently pay 22.5% of the total cost for employee only coverage. No changes in benefits under the medical plan since 2009. Implemented a tobacco surcharge for tobacco users. Implemented a discounted wellness rate for employees who participate in the wellness initiatives (Health Risk Assessment/Tobacco Cessation) The cost of the medical programs for Augusta, Georgia has steadily rose in the past three years. The approximate cost has been: $23,863,000 (2015) $26,636,000 (2016) $28,489,000 (estimated cost for 2017) Analysis: It is becoming increasingly difficult for Augusta Georgia to continue to absorb 100% of the increased benefit costs annually. This recommendation will help to share the rising cost of healthcare with our employees. Prior to 2017, participation in the wellness activities has been 100% voluntary by tying the proposed increase in employee contributions to the wellness initiative it will provide employees with an opportunity and a choice to minimize the increase in 2018. Historically Wellness Programs that are tied to incentives are historically more successful any program that drives employee’s to healthier choices will translate into decreased costs in the future for both Augusta Georgia and its employees Financial Impact: Plan changes are expected to have cost savings of $400,000 in 2018. Alternatives: No change to current plan options. Other level of benefit changes and increases to employee contributions Recommendation: Approve the changes as recommended.

(RFP 17-213) Background: Earlier this year, the Augusta Commission approved installation of a 60kW photovoltaic array on the roof of the Friedman Branch Library based upon the Augusta Richmond County Public Library System (ARCPLS) receiving an award of a rebate of up to $50,000 for the installation. RFP 17-213 was issued to receive proposals from qualified firms to perform the installation. Analysis: Proposals were received from two firms on July 27th. The firms qualifications were reviewed and scored. The firm with the higher score, True Energy, submitted a pricing component that was over the project budget. A pricing breakdown was requested for clarification and it was determined that the True Energy had included additional scope that was not requested or needed. Clarification of our expectations was issued to both vendors and they were asked to provide their best and final pricing based upon the desired scope. True Energy’s best and final was less than the original price, but still exceeds the project budget. The cost of the proposal submitted by Hannah Solar is within the project budget and they are well qualified to do the installation. Financial Impact: The cost of the solar installation is $112,746.00 Alternatives: 1.

Implemented an on-site Health and Wellness clinic at no cost to employees. No across the board premium increase since 2012. Employees currently pay 22.5% of the total cost for employee only coverage. No changes in benefits under the medical plan since 2009. Implemented a tobacco surcharge for tobacco users. Implemented a discounted wellness rate for employees who participate in the wellness initiatives (Health Risk Assessment/Tobacco Cessation) The cost of the medical programs for Augusta, Georgia has steadily rose in the past three years. The approximate cost has been: $23,863,000 (2015) $26,636,000 (2016) $28,489,000 (estimated cost for 2017) Analysis: It is becoming increasingly difficult for Augusta Georgia to continue to absorb 100% of the increased benefit costs annually. This recommendation will help to share the rising cost of healthcare with our employees. Prior to 2017, participation in the wellness activities has been 100% voluntary by tying the proposed increase in employee contributions to the wellness initiative it will provide employees with an opportunity and a choice to minimize the increase in 2018. Historically Wellness Programs that areCover tied Memo to incentives are historically more successful any program that Item # 1 drives employee’s to healthier choices will translate into decreased costs in the future for both Augusta Georgia and its employees Financial Impact: Plan changes are expected to have cost savings of $400,000 in 2018. Alternatives: No change to current plan options. Other level of benefit changes and increases to employee contributions Recommendation: Approve the changes as recommended.
