Mr. Kuhlke: We have a sub-committee which is basically the administrative sub-
committee and we felt like rather than Public Works going out and hiring people to come
on board on a permanent basis, that we would present to you a program management
services. We have identified three phases of the Augusta Capital Improvement Plan that
are being presented in the SPLOST presentations. Phase One includes the Judicial Center
at $75 million, Traffic Control CenterlPublic Works Building, $8 million, Augusta
Utilities and Public Works Complex, $11 million totaling $94 million. Phase Two
includes proj ects identified as needed and not funded which would be the Administration
Building at $12 million, the Library at $20 million, License & Inspection and Planning &
Zoning at $5 million and Jail Pods at $9 million for a total of$46 million. Phase Three
3
are projects under consideration. These include the Performing Arts Center, $60 million,
Civic Arena, $90 million, Exhibit & Trade Center, $25 million for $175 miliion. This
would total $315 million for all three phases.

Mr. Kuhlke made a presentation outlining the process for the selection of a firm
for program management services and the criteria through which the selection was made.
He noted that it was the recommendation of the sub-committee that Heery International

contract be entered into with them for program management services.

maintenance system and from the residents of Glennfield Lane Homeowners
Association to have Glennfield Lane declared a public roadway and included

Motion adopted unanimously.
1. Report from the Utilities Department regarding a cost estimate for the
installation of sewer on Tobacco Road involving the property of Mr. Joe
Newsome. (Referred from September 22 Engineering Services)
Mr. Theis: We have worked up a cost estimate of just under $40,000 on this item
and we also determined a cost to go all the way up to Mack Lane which would be about
$55,000. The total cost to go all the way across Mack Lane would be around $85,000.
There is a church there also that would be affected and I think they are also interested in
the extension ofthe line.
Mr. Hicks: The owner hasn't gotten his plans approved for the apartment
complex yet. I think he just wants a commitment from the city that the line will be there.
