Approve funding for relocation and updating of water mains and sanitary sewer mains in the area
of Georgia DOT St. Sebastian Way project DE000-00MS-00(389)
Department: Augusta Utilities Department
caption2: Approve funding for relocation of watermains and sanitary
sewer lines to be placed under new pavement in the area of
construction.
Background: The existing water mains are cast iron and some date back
more than 80 years. The sanitary sewer mains in some areas
are vitrified clay. Both materials have served well beyond
their expected lifespan and will require replacement in the
future. At the time GDOT is removing existing pavement and
widening roadways is the opportune time to update the water
and sanitary sewer mains in the area.
Analysis: The age of the existing pipelines, combined with the nature
of full-depth roadway construction, will most certainly
require replacement of the existing pipelines.
Financial Impact: The cost estimate for this project is $813,755.00. These funds
are available from the following accounts: 507043410-
5425110/80700070-5425110
Alternatives: 1. Reject funding request which would delay the construction
of the project. 2. Approve funding request.

$500,000 with the city’s share being $250,000.
Financial Impact: Funds in the amount of $250,000 are available in the
323041110-296823333 to cover the County’s share of the
additional funds needed to complete the study.
Alternatives: 1) Approve Construction Project Budget Change Number

Master Plan for Pendleton King Park (PKP) with Davis
Design Group of Augusta for an amount not to exceed
$43,600 to be funded from Capital account #272-06-1496.
Background: The PKP Board has been endeavoring for a number of years
to develop a Master Plan for future enhancements to the
features already existing in the park. The Master Plan will
involve documenting and assessing existing features,
reviewing the goals of Augusta and the PKP Board and
developing a conceptual long range path forward to make
that vision a reality. Having a plan and vision in place will
help the Board to pursue grants and private contributions that
supplement Augusta’s financial commitment to the park.
Analysis: Staff, along with the PKP Board met on November 29, 2007
to evaluate the proposals submitted by Davis Design Group
and Johnson Laschober and Associates, both of Augusta. The
firms were scored based on the criteria requested in the RFP.
Davis Design Group was the highest score prior to opening
the pricing component of the proposal. The difference in
pricing was not sufficient to change the scoring based on the
balance between qualifications and price.
Financial Impact: The contract amount will not exceed $43,600. Funds are
available in Capital account #272-06-1496.
Alternatives: 1. Authorize Public Services to negotiate a contract to

Award Change Order for Department of Transportation I-520/I-20 Interchange project. GDOT
Project #NH-IM-520-1(15)
Department: Augusta Utilities Department
caption2: Approve award for changes in estimated cost in the amount
of $237,264.00 to Georgia Department of Transportation in
order to incorporate changes in material costs between
estimate and award of final bid.
Background: The I-520/I-20 interchange project requires the relocation
and upgrade of more than 10,000 linear feet of water lines of
various sizes. In addition, we will need to relocate 460 linear
feet of sanitary sewer lines with six new manholes. There are
80 manholes which will require grade changes in order to be
accessible for future maintenance.
Analysis: Based on AUD's analysis of current material costs and labor
charges, the cost change is in line with current standards. The
lines must be moved in order to gain access for future
developemnt and to replace with higher quality materials
than were available when some of the lines were originally
installed.
Financial Impact: The change order for this project $237,264.00. These funds
are available from the following accounts:
5070434105425110/802102-5425110
Alternatives: 1. Reject proposal which might delay the construction of the
new interchange. 2. Approve Proposal for Additional funds

Award Change Order of Highway 56 24-inch Water Main Extension Design Contract for Augusta
Utilities Department
Department: Utilities
caption2: Approve award for Additional Design Services in the amount
of $36,900.00 to Johnson, Lashober & Associates, P.C.
(JLA) in order to incorporate changes in design requirements
to the Highway 56 24-inch Water Main Extension at the
construction stage.
Background: The Highway 56 24-inch Water Main Extension project
involves the design of 11,250 linear feet of 24-inch diameter
ductile iron pipe located along the east side of Highway 56
from south of Interstate 520 interchange (at T's Restuarant) to
intersection of Tobacco Rd. The design will allow the
Augusta Utilities Department to supply surface water from
the new N. Max Hicks Tobacco Road Water Treatment Plant
into areas primarily served by the existing ground water
system. During the construction effort, JLA was tasked
additional Services During Construction above what has been
originally tasked. Part of this is the redesign of two main
sections of this 24-inch Water Main Extension.
Analysis: Based on inability of the current contractor to install the
section of line at Butler Creek and Marvin Griffin Road, JLA
is tasked to provide alternate designs for these two sections
of line. This requires additional survey effort and permitting
effort aside from additional engineering design effort. JLA
submitted an acceptable proposal for additional design fees
to modify the current 100% plans. The staff of the utilities
department has reviewed the proposal and recommend award
of the additional design fees.
Financial Impact: The change order for this project $36,900.00. These funds
are available from the following accounts:510043410-

Award Change Order to Gordon Highway 30-inch Water Main Design Contract for Augusta
Utilities Department
Department: Augusta Utilities Department
caption2: Approve award for Additional Design Services in the amount
of $55,472.00 to Williams-Russell and Johnson (WRJ) in
order to incorporate changes in design requirements to the
Gordon Highway 30-inch Transmission Water Main at the
30% stage of design.
Background: The Gordon Highway 30-inch Transmission Water Main
project involves the design of 6,330 linear feet of 30-inch
diameter ductile iron pipe along Gordon Highway. This line
is to connect to the proposed 36-inch watermain (which ends
approximately 1,000 Linear feet west of the Barton Chapel
Rd intersection) and end at the proposed 24-inch Water
Main. The design of this transmission main will allow the
Augusta Utilities Department to supply surface water from
the Highland Avenue Water Treatment Plant into Fort
Gordon and the west area of Richmond County.
Analysis: AUD is unable to obtain the necessary easements for the
original proposed route South of Gordon Highway.
Therefore, WRJ was tasked to perform resurvey work for
redesign of the transmission line North of Gordon Highway.
During the 1st redesign effort WRJ encountered large tracts
of wetland area requiring additional resurvey and redisgn
effort. WRJ submitted an acceptable proposal for additional
design fees to modify plans which are currently at the 30%
design phase. The staff of the utilities department has
reviewed the proposal and recommend award of the
additional design fees.
Financial Impact: The change order for this project $55,472.00.
Alternatives: 1. Reject WRJ Proposal, which would delay the design of the
Cover Memo

Attn: Justo Chacon
Re: Revision #2 to Contract for Gordon Highway 30 inch Water Main Extension – Project
#10152
Mr. Chacon
As you are aware, the original scope of services for Project 10152, “Gordon Highway 30 inch
water main extension” has been revised to incorporate two route changes. Originally, the line
was planned for the south side of Gordon Highway. Due to problems with obtaining ownership
of properties on the south side of the road, the route was moved to the north side of the highway.
The first proposal amendment reflected costs arising as a result of this initial change. The
majority of the cost, 95%, was reflected in additional survey. The survey for the first
amendment began at Station 28+50.00 from the 36” water main’s 36”X30” reducer and 30”
butterfly valve and terminated with a 30”X24” reducer and 24” butterfly valve around Station
4+50.00 to connect to the 24” water main via a 24”tee, in Augusta-Richmond County, GA. The
36”X30” reducer and 30” butterfly valve was to be provided by the 36” water main’s design
team and the 24” tee will be provided by the 24” water main’s design team. WRJ, Inc. was to
show a 30”X24” reducer and 24” butterfly valve for the 24” water main to connect to. This
survey was performed by, STAR SURVEY, Inc.
Subsequent to this work, it was found that the line as surveyed by Star, Inc. ran through a
wetlands area and some parts of it were deemed non-constructible. After meetings with Georgia
Power to establish a new route, the team determined that in order to miss areas defined as
wetlands and improve chances for getting the line permitted under current state regulations,
segments of the would be relocated. This proposal presents costs to be incurred for relocation
the line. These costs include: 1) additional survey costs, 2) additional design engineering costs,
3) additional geotechnical and environmental resource work, and 4) additional other direct costs.
1. Additional Survey
The original survey done for this project on the South side of Gordon Highway was provided by
Ronnie Cook Surveying (HSC, Inc) totaled $15,685.00. The route was later changed to the north
side of Gordon Road and the survey was performed by Star Surveying for a cost of $18,250.00.
When the team decided to re-route the line to miss wetlands areas, the additional cost for
surveying is $11,500. This work includes approximately 800 feet of new line to be surveyed.
Please note that we still have $2,000 available in the original contract for plat preparation that
was to be used by Star Surveying, Inc. We anticipated another 3 plats would be needed in
Amendment 1, for a total of 7 plats for the project.
Item # 10
Attachment number 1
Page 2 of 3
2. Additional Engineering Design Costs
The original design work was estimated based on 6,330 linear feet of line. The redesign adds
approximately 13% more length to the overall project. The engineer had submitted the 30%
design before the routes was changed in October and utilized a portion of the available funds for
design. Some of that design will be usable; however, a large portion is not. We estimate and
additional $15,092 will be required to complete the design, above the original design cost.
3. Additional Geotechnical and Environmental Resource
The original cost for geotechnical work was $5,500.00. In addition to providing geotechnical
services, Qore will also provide environmental resource services for the project as well. Qore
met with the team and determined that it was too costly provide a drill rig along the route. The
company was familiar with the geology in the area and was willing to provide a geotechnical
report in absence of detailed drilling information that would serve as a basis for soil
classification in the area of the line. Additionally, Qore will provide wetlands delineation
services ($2,000.00), nationwide permit application services ($2,500.00), U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers onsite verification meeting ($800.00), preliminary cultural resource survey ($300.00),
and a preliminary protected species survey ($400.00).
The original budget for geotechnical work ($5,500) has not been exhausted and $1,620.00
remains. Therefore this proposal seeks an additional $4,380.00 for the environment resource
work and any additional geotechnical services.
4. Additional Other Direct Costs
An additional $2,000.00 in other direct costs has been estimated for travel budgets, meetings
with contractors and site visits.

Fire Hydrant Protection Project
Department: Utilities
caption2: Approve funds in the amount of $100,000 to Homeland
Securities Products & Services for the retrofitting of fire
hydrants with the Davidson Anti-Terrorism Valve (ATV).
Background: On May 15, 2007 the Commission approved funds in the
amount of $500,000 for the purpose of installing the
Davidson ATV into the city’s fire hydrants in order to protect
the water supply from outside threats. The agenda item also
approved of the creation of two additional positions that
would be dedicated to this effort. At the time of the
Commission approval the Construction & Maintenance staff
of AUD was operating at 80 – 85% of being fully staffed. It
was anticipated that this percentage would increase by years
end and that the additional two positions would be utilized so
as to not burden the remainder of the staff with the fire
hydrant installations. However, the staffing condition
remains the same and AUD is not in the position to install the
ATV devices as needed to remain on schedule to protect all
of the systems fire hydrants. With concurrence from the
Administrator, AUD, tasked Davidson ATV with the
retrofitting of approximately 180 hydrants through the end of
this year and a cost of $18,900. This work allowed AUD to
stay on schedule with the installation of the ATV into the
hydrants. The additional funding currently being requested
will allow for the retrofit of 730 hydrants through 2008. This
will allow AUD to stay on track with the commitment to
retrofit all of the hydrants within six years.
Analysis: The additional funding currently being requested will allow
for the retrofit of 730 hydrants through 2008. This will allow
AUD to stay on track with the commitment to retrofit all of
the hydrants within six years.

Purchase of an agricultural tractor
Department: Solid Waste
caption2: Approve the purchase of an agricultural tractor from Burke
Truck and Tractor, the lowest responsive bid, in an amount
of $77,954.
Background: The Solid Waste Department is required to maintain the
vegetation on its 1200 acres as a condition within its state
approved design and operations plan. The ag tractor utilized
by the landfill is used to mow grass, mow/maintain slopes,
disc/process soils, scrape roads, seed and fertilize the
facility. Our current ag tractor is a 1994 model Ford/New
Holland.
Analysis: Our current ag tractor is in disrepair and is due to be
replaced. It has excessive down time, and is well outside the
standard maintenance contracts, meaning we are charged for
100% of all maintenance. Replacing this asset will reduce
maintenance costs, as well as allow us additional work time

Ratify Change Order to Daily Rate Construction Program for Emergency Line Replacement on
New Savannah Rd for $420,000.00
Department: Utilities
caption2: Ratify Change Order to Daily Rate Construction Program for
Emergency Line Replacement on New Savannah Rd for
$420,000.00.
Background: During the construction of the Main Interceptor, the water
line on was not redesigned, and was in conflict with the new
sewer. Because of this, water service to a significant service
area would be impacted. The extent of this impact was not
immediately clear during design. Because AUD is planning
to replace this section of line, it was determined to move
ahead with an emergency replacement of the existing line.
Blair was selected because of the daily rate program. They
were tasked with replacing the 12” line with a 16” line on a
daily contracted rate based on the bid of that service. In
addition, Blair secured materials at a lesser rate than AUD
could procure. This was determined to be an emergency due
to the number of residents and businesses affected by the
outage. The contractor on the Main Interceptor offered a
competitive price approximately 1.5 times this fee.
Analysis: This was deemed an emergency line replacement.
Procurement was notified because of the emergency nature.
Replacing this line saves money in the long run because
overlay costs are not spread across two contracts. In addition,
service is improved for residents and businesses in South
Augusta.
Financial Impact: $420,000.00 from account 50704340-5425110/80600040-
5425110
Alternatives: None.
