Department: Augusta Utilities Department Caption: Motion to approve Change Order to the Engineering Study of Sewer Improvements, Rock Creek Basin contract in the amount of $135,724.00 to ZEL Engineering for engineering services to complete the design of the Rock Creek Sanitary Sewer Spihon Project. Background: The study project is located in the north-eastern portion of Augusta GA in the vicinity of the Washington Road corridor and Riverwatch Parkway corridor. The project evaluated the conditions of the Rock Creek Trunk Sewer in 2008. The findings of the study led to several recommendations and suggestions for rehabilitation, repair, replacement, and new installations along the route of the trunk sewer. The Utilities Department now is ready to act on one of the report's recommendations by designing and constructing the siphon portion of the project. This portion of the overall study will allow the department to minimize potential sanitary sewer overflows as well as handle the additional discharge of sanitary sewer that is expected from the new Costco Development along Riverwatch Parkway. The design project will include but will not be limited to: the design of a relief sewer by providing engineering design, surveying, environmental design, land acquisition, and bid-phase services & engineering through construction services. Analysis: AUD has evaluated ZEL Engineering proposal to design the project and has considered the proposal fair and reasonable to accomplish the task. Financial Impact: The construction proposal submitted for this project is $135,724.00. These funds are available from account 509043420- 5425210/80800010-5425210 Alternatives: Rejection of this change order would delay the design of the Rock Creek Spihon Sewer Project and potentially delay the ability Cover to Memo Item # 1 handle the additonal sewer discharge from the Costco Development in Augusta Richmond County. Recommendation: Recommend Commission approve change order to the existing contract to ZEL Engineering in the amount of $135,724.00 Funds are Available $135,724.00 from account 509043420-5425210/80800010- in the Following 5425210 Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.

This proposal includes the design of a relief sewer to service the upper reaches of the Rock Creek basin. The sewer will operate under low-head operating conditions and provide backup pumping capability, and will provide support service for the Village at Riverwatch. The design includes surveying, environmental, design, land-acquisition, and bid-phase services to Augusta Utilities. We believe that this scope of work is inclusive and will provide a cost- effective solution to the surcharged conditions of the Rock Creek sanitary sewer. The requested fee to complete the design is $117,124.00. Items such as easement plats are included as additional services, and total $18,500. The total cost expected to complete the design is therefore $135,624.00. This proposal includes separate bid packages for the sewer and the pumping station. An itemized schedule of services is included for your review, along with a proposed project schedule. ZEL looks forward to working with AUD to complete this project. Very truly yours, ZIMMERMAN, EVANS AND LEOPOLD, INC. Frank W. Byne, P.E. Principal Attachments Item # 1 Attachment number 1 Page 2 of 5 Description of Services Regulatory Services: Regulatory services include the complete preparation of documents to address environmental and regulatory components of the project. This scope of services includes interaction at the local, state, and federal levels to resolve any permitting issues during the pre- design and design stages. Preliminary Services: Preliminary services are established to provide the design basis for the work to be performed on the project. The services include research on existing facilities and location of utilities along the path of the project, in addition to preliminary cost estimates. At the conclusion of the preliminary services stage, the project should be clearly defined for AUD and ZEL, and the design should be established and a report will be generated to describe the design considerations. Design Services: Design services include the preparation of the electrical, mechanical, and civil plans in addition to environmental plans. The design services stage will bring the conceptual plans to construction. Bid Assistance: Bid Assistance services provide interaction between client, designer, and bidder in order to provide clear understanding of the expectations of AUD to the contracting community. Services include pre-bid meeting attendance and representation, and interpretations and clarifications of pre-bid addenda, in addition to providing expanded bid tabulations and preparing conformed contract documents. Engineering During Construction Services: Engineering During Construction Services include attendance of the pre-construction meeting, review of material submissions, and performing periodic site visits to investigate progress during critical construction times. In addition, this includes conflict resolution in the field, and closure of documents and red-line to as-built drawing conversion.

Background: The architectural contract for design of the new TEE Center was negotiated and executed without additional services of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) design included. The project design has now advanced to the point that these services are needed in order to keep the project moving forward in an efficient manner. The choice of this Architect was based in part on the experience and the interior design expertise they bring to the project is substantial. Including this work within their scope of responsibility is in the best interest of the project. It is recommended that approval be given to the attached proposal, and that the Architect’s contract be amended accordingly. Analysis: The project’s FF&E design is needed in order to plan power, data and lighting systems so that their locations can be properly coordinated by the design engineers. In addition, selection and specifications of furnishings is needed. Financial Impact: The amount of additional architectural fees is $38,900. The overall architectural fee for the TEE Center will increase from $2,205,022 to $2,243,922. The overall contract amount for both Reynolds Street Parking Deck and the TEE Center project will increase to $3,019,469. Alternatives: 1.
