Background: Christmas Eve is Sunday, December 24th and according to the
Augusta Georgia Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual (PPPM)
Section 100.006 Holidays, Christmas Eve will be observed on
Christmas Day, Monday, December 25th. However, with
December 25th being a holiday in its own right, the PPPM does
not address granting the day after Christmas as a holiday.
Pursuant to Augusta Georgia PPPM Section 100.006 Holidays,
whenever a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday shall
be designated as a substitute holiday and observed as the official
holiday for that year. Whenever the holiday falls on a Sunday, the
following Monday shall be designated as the official holiday for
that year. Holiday schedules may be adjusted at any time at the
Administrator’s direction.
Analysis: Other Counties Observance: Columbia County: Monday,
December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th Burke County:
Monday, December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th State of
Georgia: Monday, December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th
Financial Impact: Overtime pay for some employees working on the holiday.
Alternatives: Do not approve December 26, 2017 as the official holiday to
observe Christmas Day.
Recommendation: Declare Christmas Eve Monday, December 25, 2017 and
Christmas Day Tuesday, December 26, 2017 as the official

2017 Vehicle Maintenance Contract Extension
Department: Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Presenter: Takiyah A. Douse
Caption: Approve a 1-year extension of the existing fleet maintenance
contract with First Vehicle Services.
Background: First Vehicle Services has been providing a full maintenance
service contract for Augusta since 2003. Contract was entered into
for a period of 3 years with provisions for two 1-year extensions,
subject to the approval of the Augusta Commission. The current
service contract was approved on March 18, 2014 (enclosure). It
was extended for the first year on January 17, 2017 (enclosure).
In 2017, the contract cost was reduced by $167,393.00 from
2016 due to a reduction in fleet assets and moving small
equipment into a non-contract status. First Vehicle services was
asked to provide pricing for the second and final extension. They
would like to propose extending the 2017 pricing to 2018. The
contract cost for 2018 would be $2,957,663.00. The wording for
the extension is attached for review. No further options exist to
extend the contract beyond 2018.
Analysis: The proposal for the final year extension, by First Vehicle
Services, is $2,957,663.00 for 2018.
Financial Impact: The proposed and recommended budget for 2018 supports the
First Vehicle Services proposal for $2,957,663.00. (626-01-
6440/5223113).
Alternatives: (1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request
Recommendation: Approve the extension for 1-year of the fleet maintenance contract
for $2,957,663.00.

Presenter: Takiyah A. Douse
Caption: Consider prioritization of the project to approve award of contract
for renovations to the Central Services Department administrative
offices on Peach Orchard Road to Contract Management Inc. of
Augusta in the amount of $529,584 in conjunction with the
Facility Space Allocation Plan Recommendations. (Bid Item 17-
209A) (Referred from November 14 Administrative Services
Committee)
Background: The Central Services Department (est. June 2016) administrative
employees are operating out of the former Utilities Payment
Center on Peach Orchard Road. This building, circa 1971,
currently houses the distribution pumps, water treatment and data
hub for Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) distribution system
for South Augusta. Use and occupancy of this building by Central
Services is valuable to AUD for operations and maintenance of
the water system. To improve operational efficiency, Augusta
311, one of five divisions of Central Services, will be collocated
with other Central Services Department operations at this
location. The relocation of Augusta 311 will allow for proposed
future expansion of the Compliance Department from the seventh
floor to the fifth floor and the Marshall’s Office. Pricing for bid
item 17-209A was received on September 14, 2017. Contract
Management Inc. submitted the only compliant bid.
Analysis: Contract Management Inc. of Augusta submitted the only
compliant bid of $529,584. The bid price is in line with the
anticipated budget costs for this work.
Financial Impact: The cost of the renovation project is $529,584.
Alternatives:
1. Approve award of contract for renovations to the Central
Services Department Offices on Peach Orchard Road to Contract
Management Inc. of Augusta in the amount of $529,584. 2. Do
not approve the purchase.

Department administrative offices on Peach Orchard Road to
Contract Management Inc. of Augusta in the amount of $529,584.

2017 Christmas Holiday Schedule
Department: Human Resources
Presenter: Sylvia Williams
Caption: Motion to approve 2017 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
Holiday Schedule.
Background: Christmas Eve is Sunday, December 24th and according to the
Augusta Georgia Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual (PPPM)
Section 100.006 Holidays, Christmas Eve will be observed on
Christmas Day, Monday, December 25th. However, with
December 25th being a holiday in its own right, the PPPM does
not address granting the day after Christmas as a holiday.
Pursuant to Augusta Georgia PPPM Section 100.006 Holidays,
whenever a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday shall
be designated as a substitute holiday and observed as the official
holiday for that year. Whenever the holiday falls on a Sunday, the
following Monday shall be designated as the official holiday for
that year. Holiday schedules may be adjusted at any time at the
Administrator’s direction.
Analysis: Other Counties Observance: Columbia County: Monday,
December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th Burke County:
Monday, December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th State of
Georgia: Monday, December 25th and Tuesday, December 26th
Financial Impact: Overtime pay for some employees working on the holiday.
Alternatives: Do not approve December 26, 2017 as the official holiday to
observe Christmas Day.
Recommendation: Declare Christmas Eve Monday, December 25, 2017 and
Christmas Day Tuesday, December 26, 2017 as the official
holiday. This will put Augusta Georgia in line with the other
counties and State of Georgia and keep our operation moving
forward. Cover Memo

2017 Vehicle Maintenance Contract Extension
Department: Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Presenter: Takiyah A. Douse
Caption: Approve a 1-year extension of the existing fleet maintenance
contract with First Vehicle Services.
Background: First Vehicle Services has been providing a full maintenance
service contract for Augusta since 2003. Contract was entered into
for a period of 3 years with provisions for two 1-year extensions,
subject to the approval of the Augusta Commission. The current
service contract was approved on March 18, 2014 (enclosure). It
was extended for the first year on January 17, 2017 (enclosure).
In 2017, the contract cost was reduced by $167,393.00 from
2016 due to a reduction in fleet assets and moving small
equipment into a non-contract status. First Vehicle services was
asked to provide pricing for the second and final extension. They
would like to propose extending the 2017 pricing to 2018. The
contract cost for 2018 would be $2,957,663.00. The wording for
the extension is attached for review. No further options exist to
extend the contract beyond 2018.
Analysis: The proposal for the final year extension, by First Vehicle
Services, is $2,957,663.00 for 2018.
Financial Impact: The proposed and recommended budget for 2018 supports the
First Vehicle Services proposal for $2,957,663.00. (626-01-
6440/5223113).
Alternatives: (1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request
Recommendation: Approve the extension for 1-year of the fleet maintenance contract
for $2,957,663.00.

Augusta in the amount of $529,584 in conjunction with the
Facility Space Allocation Plan Recommendations. (Bid Item 17-
209A) (Referred from November 14 Administrative Services
Committee)
Background: The Central Services Department (est. June 2016) administrative
employees are operating out of the former Utilities Payment
Center on Peach Orchard Road. This building, circa 1971,
currently houses the distribution pumps, water treatment and data
hub for Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) distribution system
for South Augusta. Use and occupancy of this building by Central
Services is valuable to AUD for operations and maintenance of
the water system. To improve operational efficiency, Augusta
311, one of five divisions of Central Services, will be collocated
with other Central Services Department operations at this
location. The relocation of Augusta 311 will allow for proposed
future expansion of the Compliance Department from the seventh
floor to the fifth floor and the Marshall’s Office. Pricing for bid
item 17-209A was received on September 14, 2017. Contract
Management Inc. submitted the only compliant bid.
Analysis: Contract Management Inc. of Augusta submitted the only
compliant bid of $529,584. The bid price is in line with the
anticipated budget costs for this work.
Financial Impact: The cost of the renovation project is $529,584.
