Background: Augusta and Fort Gordon signed an agreement for water and wastewater services earlier this year. This is the first construction contract required to meet the conditions of that services contract, and consists of approximately 9,000 linear feet of ductile iron water main. This project includes all valves and fittings shown on the plans and which are required to connect the new line to the existing system. Analysis: The water main project was competitvely bid, and BRI construction was the apparent low bidder in the amount of $999,370.10. Stevenson and Palmer Engineers extended the bid tabs for the companies that submitted a bid, and determined that BRI's bid package appeared acceptable and numerically correct. S&P also contacted three references provided to ensure that the contractor had a good working history with other municipalities. S&P then recommended award to BRI construction. Financial Impact: $999,370.10 from 511043410-5425110 / 80310801-5425110 Alternatives: There is no alternative. Recommendation: Award Construction Contract for Fort Gordon Gate 1 Water Main to BRI Construction for $999,370.10. Funds are Available in the 511043410-5425110 / 80310801-5425110 Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Procurement. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Administrator.

YG:glw Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Department 501 Greene Street – Suite 304 - Augusta, GA 30901 (706) 821-2406 – Fax (706) 821-4228 WWW.AUGUSTAGA.GOV Engineering Services Committee Meeting 11/27/2006 1:15 PM Atlantic Coast Consulting Change Order Department: Solid Waste Caption: Approve a change order to Atlantic Coast Consulting in an amount of $320,000 for additional professional services for the solid waste department. Background: The Solid Waste department had entered into a contract with a consulting company for the semi-annual collection and analysis of groundwater samples and the quarterly collection and analysis of surface water samples. At the last groundwater sampling event, the laboratory results showed a spike in acetone concentrations, which was determined to be the result of improper sampling techniques used by the company currently under contract. The contract is due to expire in 2007, however, in light of this issue as well as additional groundwater sampling and analysis due in November, a change in consultants is needed to ensure correct sampling procedures are followed as well as accurate analysis and reporting to EPD is occurring. Further, the elevated levels of vinyl chloride found during the groundwater monitoring require additional investigation and testing. Since the vinyl chloride levels prompted the Landfill’s inclusion on the state Hazardous Site Inventory list, additional environmental testing and long-term monitoring are required by the state. Simply put, we will need to first determine the extent and source of the vinyl chloride. For example, is it simply showing up in those wells or has it migrated to the surrounding soil or groundwater? Once the extent of it is determined, then the potential impacts must also be identified. And, if necessary based on all the data gathered to this point, what cleanup or remediation activities are feasible or required. Analysis: In order to remain in compliance with our current permits, proper sampling and analysis methodologies are key. It is our intention to use a different consultant to complete the required sampling and continue this procedure for at least two years. That would provide us with two (November 2006- November 2008 or four events) of groundwater data which can be used to provide greater certainty regarding the source of the acetone in the wells plus an additional event to establish any baseline levels. The quantification of the extent of the vinyl chloride and any potential impacts will require the services of an engineering firm with such expertise. Plus, it would be detrimental to the Landfill to change firms in the middle of such an involved investigation. As part of the initial investigation into the source and extent of vinyl chloride an engineering firm has already provided to us a plan of action for the required investigation and extensive environmental sampling needed to resolve the Landfill’s inclusion on the HSI. They further have started the alternate source demonstration to meet the timelines of the state. This is a long-term plan which includes not only the groundwater testing, but also storm water and surface water monitoring for a two year period, specifically, the plan includes an Assessment Monitoring Plan, an Alternative Source Demonstration, groundwater monitoring events, any additional well installations, and surface and storm water monitoring events as required by EPD and other professional engineering services. Financial Impact: Canceling the current contract would provide a cost savings of $26,400, and an expense of $320,000 to perform the above-referenced services. Of that $259,680 is what is the anticipated cost and the remainder is for contingency. Alternatives: 1. Recommend approving a change order to Atlantic Coast Consulting in an amount of $320,000 for additional professional services for the solid waste department. 2. Do not approve the work and face consent orders from the state. Recommendation: Option 1 Funds are Available in the Post Closure Account Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.

The goal-setting methodology considered the following factors based on good faith efforts of the contractor: • The project’s total estimated cost is $320,000. • There is 100% ($32,000) value of the scope of work where minority/women businesses availability exists. • There is 0% value of the scope of work where small businesses availability exists. • There is 0% value of the scope where local businesses availability exists. The contractor must prepare their proposed DBE Utilization Form submittal based on the total dollar value of their base bid. No further adjustments should be made.

YG:glw Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Department 501 Greene Street – Suite 304 - Augusta, GA 30901 (706) 821-2406 – Fax (706) 821-4228 WWW.AUGUSTAGA.GOV Engineering Services Committee Meeting 11/27/2006 1:15 PM Bay Street Lease Amendment Department: Utilities Caption: Approve the lease of 1,981 square feet of additional office space for the Engineering Section of the Augusta Utilities Department on the second floor of The New South Building, 360 Bay Street. Background: The Engineering Section of the Augusta Utilities Department has grown beyond its present floor space and requires additional office space for current personnel, projects and future staff personnel. AUD’s EDMS project to consolidate all project documentation requires an increase in storage capacity. The current inspection staff of 9 occupies a single office without sufficient space to complete daily reports and inspection records. Analysis: The proposed construction of the Augusta Utilities and Administration Complex on Benson Rd. has been delayed until budget and funding analyses have been completed. With the delay of the new complex, AUD has an option to expand it’s current floor space at the New South Building at 360 Bay St. Financial Impact: The Rex Group has quoted the cost for the additional 1,981 square feet at $2,218 per month or $1.12 per sq. ft. Funds are available under account number 506043110-5224111 Alternatives: None recommended. Recommendation: Approve the addition 1,981 square feet of leased office space at 360 Bay Street. Funds are Available in the Following 506043110-5224111 Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Procurement. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Administrator. Clerk of Commission Engineering Services Committee Meeting 11/27/2006 1:15 PM Daily Rate for Equipment & Personnel, Phase I Department: Utilities Caption: Approve award to Blair Construction for the installation of waterlines under the daily rate for equipment and personnel for Waterline Replacement, Phase I, in the amount of $200,000. Background: AUD has identified many waterlines throughout the city that are in need of replacement or upgrade. These areas have been tabulated and included in the AUD Waterline Replacement Program. AUD also has areas along the outer limits of the water system where the waterlines need to be extended to cover the limits of the Augusta water district. Two such areas that AUD is requesting to include in this Phase I project are, Deans Bridge Road at Blythe and Guy Maddox Road, which is off Maddox Road. Once these areas are completed, AUD will exhaust the remaining of the $200,000 funds on the waterline replacement list. Many of the needed water improvements are in areas that require straightforward engineering and planning, consequently the design has been assumed by AUD. AUD also has a significant supply of small size waterline material in stock that can be used to upgrade the existing waterlines. Considering the straightforward engineering and the available materials, AUD installed the Raborn Road waterline, which was in the waterline replacement program, under the Daily Rate for Equipment & Personnel (DREP) concept. Blair Construction was the low bidder for DREP for Raborn Road. Considering historical pricing for projects such as this, AUD requested a budget of $173,000 for the Raborn Road waterline. The actual realized cost for the Raborn Road waterline was $59,060.60, or $12.84 per linear foot. Although AUD provided the materials, which is an additional cost consideration, the total cost of the waterline construction is still much less than is being realized on the standard AUD waterline projects. Blair has again emerged as the low bidder for DREP Phase I of the Waterline Replacement Program with the same daily rate as was bid on the Raborn Road waterline, $2,875.00 per day. Analysis: Considering that the daily rate is the same as that for the construction of the Raborn Road waterline, and considering that the project construction will be in areas that are very comparable to Raborn Road, it is not unrealistic to expect that at least 10,000 feet of waterline replacement and extension could be put in place with the requested budget of $200,000. This cost is much less than can be realized under the traditional method of project construction. The upgrades will also result in reduced maintenance costs associated with the replaced waterlines. Financial Impact: Funds are available in the renewal extension fund 507043410-5425110 / 80600040-5425110 in the amount of $200,000. Alternatives: Do not award DREP Phase I to Blair Construction, and begin replacing the waterlines at a later date. Recommendation: It is recommended to approve Award to Blair Construction for the Installation of Waterlines under the Daily Rate for Equipment and Personnel for Waterline Replacement, Phase I, in the amount of $200,000. Funds are Available in the Funds are available in the renewal extension fund Following 507043410-5425110 / 80600040-5425110. Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Procurement.
