Amendment No. 11 to Contract with OMI, Inc.
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve Amendment No. 11 (Year 2007 Agreement
Modifications) to Agreement with OMI for a 2007 Budget
cost of $6,729,681.00. (Funded by Account No. 506043310-
5211110)
Background:On July 20, 1999 Augusta and Operations Management
International, Inc. (OMI) entered into an Agreement for
Operations, Maintenance and Management Services. Article
2.36 of the Agreement provides that OMI will prepare an
annual ammendment to the Agreement which establishes the
budget for the year. Attached is a proposed Amendment No.
11 from OMI, which sets forth a 2007 budget of
$6,729,681.00. The estimated cost of wastewater treatment
services for 2007 is $6,445,931.00. We have also included an
allowance of $283,750.00 to provide for OMI assistance with
maintenance as may be needed at the water treatment
facilities and other areas within our system. OMI has been
able to provide such assistance in a very timely and cost
effective manner in previous years.
Analysis:The 2007 budget cost contained in this amendment
represents a 4.4% increase in the budgeted cost of
wastewater treatment services over 2005. The overall cost of
the OMI contract for 2007 is projected to be only 14.33%
more than the annualized cost of the first agreement term
which began in July 1999. The cost of this budget is within
the proposed 2007 Utilities Department budget amount for
this expense. The budget represents a spending plan which
will be closely monitored by Utilities Department staff. In
2006 the actual expenses are expected to be less than budget
due to good financial management by OMI. Approval of this
amendment will establish the 2007 line items and total cost
for the Agreement for Operations, Maintenance and
Management Services with OMI. In addition to the 2007
budget proposal this amendment also modifies the agreement
to define the responsiblities of OMI and Augusta Utilities
related to operation of the new Spirit Creek Pump Station.
The new pump station replaces the influent pump station at
the Spirit Creek Water Pollution Control Plant and sends
excess flow to the Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant.
Financial Impact:$6,729,681.00 from Account No. 506043310-5211110.
Alternatives:(1) Approve the proposed budget for 2007 or (2) Reject the
proposed budget and re-negotiate.
Recommendation:Approve Amendment No. 11 (Year 2007 Agreement
Modifications) to the agreement with OMI for a 2007 Budget
cost of $6,729,681.00. (Funded by Account No. 506043310-

Approve Funds for Construction of First Phase of New Main Interceptor Sewage Line
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve award for the construction of the Main Interceptor
Upgrade Phase 1 to Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. who
submitted an apparent low bid of $15,619,620.
Background:The Main Interceptor is a 64" and 72" sewer main that serves
Augusta north of Butler Creek. The main is concrete, is
approximately 45 years old and is deteriorating from
hydrogen sulfide attack, which is a common byproduct of
sewage decomposition. On August 13th of 2006, a 72"
portion of the line collapsed along Doug Barnard parkway,
and subsequently had to be repaired. Based on studies of the
line, it is believed that much of the line is in need of
immediate repair. The line flow averages approximately 35
mgd. In late 2005 the Utilities Department, in conjunction
with the Procurement and DBE Departments, accepted
qualifications from contractors with experience in flexible
large diameter pipe construction interested in construction of
this project. Augusta received bids from 4 of the 6
Contractors who were pre-qualified to bid this project. The
bid are as follows: 1. Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. -
$15,619,620.00 2. Garney Companies, Inc. - $16,946,890.00
3. Rockdale Pipeline, Inc. - $18,334,153.90 4. John D.
Stephens, Inc. - $20,038,291.23 A photo showing the
collapsed 72" sewer main is attached, and three photos
showing 102" pipe that Oscar Renda is laying in Texas are
attached.
Analysis:This is phase 1 of 2 phases to replace the existing sanitary
sewer main. The length of this phase is approximately 13,000
feet. The service life of the new sewer line is expected to be
50 years. Stevenson and Palmer, Inc., is the engineering firm
that designed the main interceptor phase 1. They have
reviewed the bids and recommended award to Oscar Renda.
Financial Impact:$5,571,382 from the 2002 Bond Issue, under account number
510043420/ 5425210-80160115/5425210. $10,048,238 from
the 2004 Bond Issue, under account number 511043420/

Alternatives:Based upon the condition fo the existing Main Interceptor, no
alternative is proposed.

I-20 / I-520 Interchange DOT Contract Item Agreement
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve the Contract Item Agreement between the Georgia
Department of Transportation and the Augusta Utilities
Department for the adjustment of water and sewer lines in
conjunction with the I-20/I-520 Interchange project in the
amount of $874,426.00.
Background:The Georgia Department of Transportation is in the process
of letting the contract for the construction of the new I-20/I-
520 interchange. This interchange project is the second in a
series of projects that the DOT is constructing for the
purpose of the overall I-20 improvements. There is a
significant amount of water and sewer line assets located
within the DOT right of way that needs to be adjusted in
conjunction with this project. The design of this project,
which includes the utility adjustments, has been underway
since the fall of 2002. On September 17, 2002, the Augusta
Commission approved the design proposal from Greenhorne
& Omara in the amount of $77,053.00 which included the
design of the utility adjustments. Attached to this agenda
item is the Contract Item Agreement to be signed by the city
of Augusta which would allow for this work to be completed
within DOT project. The DOT project is scheduled to be let
on January 19, 2007, and they require that all contract items
be in place before the letting of the project. On October 26,
2006 the DOT mailed the proposed contract item agreement
to AUD with the address they had on record, which was
incorrect. This information has now been updated however
this action has caused a delay in seeking approval for the
agreement, hence the urgency on the part of AUD.
Analysis:These utility adjustment costs have been planned and
budgeted for in the Augusta Utilities renewal and extension
fund. The construction cost estimate from the engineer is
$874,426.00, and this is the figure that the DOT uses in their
Contract Item Agreements before letting a contract. As
indicated in the Contract Item Agreement, this amount is
subject to increase or decrease depending on the bids
received and the actual costs realized in the course of
construction.
Financial Impact:$874,426.00
Alternatives:None Recommended.
Recommendation:It is recommended approve the Contract Item Agreement
between the Georgia Department of Transportation and the
Augusta Utilities Department for the adjustment of water and
sewer lines in conjunction with the I-20/I-520 Interchange
project in the amount of $874,426.00.

Department:Engineering Department-Abie L. Ladson, P.E., Interim
Director
Caption:Approve $102,050.00 of funds to be used for right-of-way
acquisitions on the S.R. 4/15TH Street @ CR2207/Central
Avenue STP-0003-00(790) Project (ARC Project Number
323-04-203823122). The funds are available in the Special
One Percent Sales Tax SPLOST Phase III Recaptured
account.
Background:The proposed project would consist of the improvement to
the SR 4 and CR 2207/Central Avenue intersection in the
City of Augusta. State Route 4 currently consists of two 12
ft. travel lanes, one in each direction, with one 12 ft. left turn
lane and sidewalks along both sides of the road. County Road
2207/Central Avenue consists of two 12 ft. travel lanes, one
in each direction. The existing right-of-way is approximately
100 ft. along SR 4 and CR 2207/Central Avenue. A stop and
go traffic signal, new signage and striping are proposed for
the intersection. Proposed right-of-way would be an
additional 20 ft. from the northwest corner and 20 ft. from
the southwest corner of SR 4. The total project length is
approximately 0.10 mile. The construction of this work will
be done by Georgia DOT, with funding in part by the Federal
Highway Administration. The cost and acquisition of right-
of-way are the responsibility of Augusta per a Local
Government Project Agreement approved by the
Commission on August 19, 2003.
Analysis:The right-of-way for projects being constructed with this
type funding must meet the Federal Requirements. Based on
right-of-way plans received from Georgia DOT,
approximately $102,050.00 will be needed for right-of-way
acquisition.
Financial Impact:Funds are available in SPLOST Phase III Recapture.
Alternatives:1. Approve $102,050.00 of funds to be used for right-of-way
acquisitions on the S.R. 4/15TH Street @ CR2207/Central
