(Approved by Public Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:Vaisala Inc. is a global leader in providing meteorological monitoring and observation products to the Aviation Industry. The Augusta Regional Airport has used Vaisala equipment since 2008 in its airport operations and dispatch center which is manned and monitored on a 24/7 basis. The original contract was for one year and has been a series of one year extensions with periodic price adjustments. Lightning detection is an integral part and a necessary service for the Augusta Regional Airport and is related to the safety of our employees operating on the active aircraft parking aprons and integral to our fueling operations. The system detects lightning strikes out to a range of 35 nautical miles and allows immediate notification of our FBO and Airline personnel alerting them to unsafe conditions for fueling and other ground operations. Analysis:The Airport and Legal Department staff recently approached Vaisala with the idea of a fixed cost five year contract for services after being presented with an annual automatic renewal and escalation clause contract. Vaisala was agreeable and the attached contract is presented with our recommendation for approval. Financial Impact:This agreement is for a five year fixed rate term of $2,119.00 annually to provide lightning detection. The annual amount locks in the same rate paid in this last fiscal year and represents zero escalation of costs for an additional five full years. Money has been budgeted for this service in the contract services budget line item for the Augusta Regional Airport. Alternatives:1. Approve the award to Vaisala Inc. in the amount of $2,119.00 2. Solicit proposals through the public bid process (May require acquisition of new capital equipment depending on bid award. 3. Do not approve the request. Recommendation:Augusta Airport Commission recommends the approval of a contract with Vaisala Inc. for a lightning detection data service agreement for a fixed rate of $2,119.00 annually for a five year period.

(Approved by Administrative Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:The Recreation Department submitted an RFP to lease the Patch in accordance with the Augusta, Georgia Code. Among the specifications for this project was a requirement that proposers have an Augusta, Georgia Business License. The Patch in Augusta, LLC submitted a proposal but did not have an Augusta, Georgia business license. There were no proposers that qualified for this RFP. The Patch in Augusta, LLC filed a protest indicating that it believed that it could not obtain an Augusta Business License unless it already had a contract to lease the Patch Golf Course. Analysis:The Recreation and Procurement Departments contend that an Augusta, Georgia business license could have been obtained by the protestor to be in compliance with the required specifications for this project, but no such license was obtained. However, since there were no compliant proposers, it is recommended that the project be re-solicited. If the project is not re- solicited, it is recommended that the protest be denied. Financial Impact:None. Alternatives:Waive the requirement to have an Augusta business license and award the RFP to the protestor. Recommendation:Deny protest and re-solicit the project.

Funds are available in the project construction account, as requested by AED. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:This is a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) project that will widen and reconstruct Alexander Drive to 4 lanes with a 20’ raised median from Washington Road to Riverwatch Parkway. The Engineering Department was responsible for development of the Preliminary Engineering activities. The project has been let to contract and construction activities are underway. GDOT awarded the project to Sunbelt Structures, Inc. on December 4, 2009 at the low bid of $7,725,406.60. Construction activities are underway and the work is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2012. Analysis:On February 18, 2010 representatives from the GDOT Office of Environmental Services and Sunbelt Structures did a walkthrough of the project alignment because Sunbelt Structures was ready to begin construction activities on the project. The GDOT Office of Environmental Services representative expressed concerns about 3 additional streams and 2 additional ponds that were occurring within or adjacent to the project limits. Because the streams and ponds were not directly impacted by the proposed construction activities, no erosion control measures had been identified on the plans to protect these areas during construction. It was the opinion of the GDOT representative these areas met the criteria to qualify as state waters and therefore should be protected. On February 22, 2010 representatives from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division concurred with the decision and advised Cranston Engineering Group, the design consultant for the Engineering Department on this project, of the process that would be needed to update the plans, environmental documents and permits to address the impacts to these areas. The environmental documents, permits and construction plans have been updated to concur with this decision. It has been determined that 913.5 stream mitigation credits will have to be purchased to mitigate the impacts to these areas. The stream mitigation credits will be purchased from Bath Branch Augusta, LLC at a cost of $85 per credit for a total purchase of $77,647.50. Cover Memo Financial Impact:Funding is available in the project construction account 323-041110- 5414110/296823215-5414110 in the amount of $77,647.50 upon Commission approval.

The revised contract amount will be $34,025,693.67. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:The current $33.95M Contract with McKnight Construction to construct additions to the Detention Center was approved by the Commission on November 5, 2008, and significantly altered by the addition of the Female Pod (Change Order No. 1) shortly thereafter. Subsequent, additional Change Orders have been approved since that time necessary for on-going construction and enhanced functionality of the Webster Detention Center. This Change Order enhances the project as follows: Adds 1.) mid-level razor wire to the security fence as requested by the Owner and 2.) provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing for the dental equipment that was requested by the Owner. Analysis:This Change Order consists of two items, recommended as noted: provide razor wire to the security fence and mechanical, electrical and plumbing for the dental equipment. TOTAL OF CHANGE ORDER #30 IS $77,440.00 Upon approval of this change order, total spending on project change orders would be at 56% of the contingency budget or 3.8% of the initial, total construction budget, which is well within budget and industry standards for a detention center of this complexity. (Note, CO#1 is not included in these calculations). Financial Impact:This Change Order will increase McKnight’s Construction Contract amount by $77,440.00. The revised contract amount will be $34,025,693.67. The Change Order will be funded by the project’s construction change order contingency, which retains ample funds for future, unforeseen changes. Alternatives:1. Approve Change Order No.30 in the amount of $77,440.00 to the Construction Contract for the Webster Detention Center (WDC) Expansion.

Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering Caption:Motion to authorize and approve the re-appropriation of funds in the amount of $100,000 from the Third Level Improvements Project (CPB 326- 041110-288811014) Change Number Two to the Augusta Levee Certification Project (CPB 324-041110-209824001), Change Number Two and Supplemental Agreement Number Five for the AED. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:The Periodic Inspection (PI) for the Augusta Levee was completed in March 2010 by the Corps of Engineers (COE). Per latest COE compliance criteria: vegetation and structural encroachments are prohibited at a levee system without COE pre-approval. These features are present at Augusta Levee and were noted as a deficiency in the latest inspection report. AED has been tasked to develop a long term Levee Maintenance Program and address COE observations made during their March 2010 PI. Analysis:Presently no funds are allocated for Augusta Levee compliance. Requested re-appropriation will provide needed funds to address the COE PI comments and develop long term Vegetation Maintenance Program. Requested re- appropriation will not have impact on the Third Level Canal cleanup- improvements. All foreseen improvements that are related to Atlanta Gas Light Company cleanup at the Third Level Canal are completed. The final engineering design was initiated last year and is largely completed. There will be enough funds available in reduced PO to finish this design. Financial Impact:Funds will be transferred to the designated use of funds project IMPACT: accounts as listed upon Commission approval. Purchase Order P87117 is to be reduced by $100,000 and funds re-appropriated to Purchase Order P162085 account number 324-041110- 5212115/209824001-5212115. Alternatives:1) Approve caption I 2) Do not approve and keep Augusta Levee out of compliance from COE Periodic Inspection program. Recommendation:Approve Alternative Number One.

The project is to be funded from SPLOST allocations to the Judicial Center. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background:The planning and moving of court related operations from the existing Municipal Building, Law Enforcement Center and other locations to the new Judicial Center will be a complicated and labor intensive process. There is a need to complete this task rapidly to minimize disruptions to ongoing operations. Augusta does not have sufficient internal manpower resources to complete this task within a short time frame. As such, RFP 10-168 was issued to solicit proposals from qualified professional moving firms with experience, manpower and equipment. We received responsive proposals from two firms. Analysis:The bid packages on RFP 10-168 were reviewed and ranked in Procurement Conference Room on October 14, 2010. Preliminary qualification based scoring on the RFP favored Acme Moving and Storage of Augusta. When the pricing was opened, Acme had also submitted the lowest cost for the services. The low bid did exceed the estimated budget. However, Heery Program Management has reviewed the total project budget and has determined that funding in the project is sufficient to cover this bid amount. Financial Impact:The cost of the contract $268,375.00 funded from SPLOST monies allocated to the Judicial Center. Alternatives:1. Approve award of the contract for Moving Services for the New Augusta Judicial Center to, Acme Moving and Storage of Augusta, GA in the amount of $268,375.00 in response to RFP 10-168. The project is to be funded from SPLOST allocations to the Judicial Center. 2. Do not approve the award. Recommendation:Approve award of the contract for Moving Services for the New Augusta Judicial Center to, Acme Moving and Storage of Augusta, GA in the amount of $268,375.00 in response to RFP 10-168.

Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director, Engineering Department Caption:Motion to approve and accept stormwater detention pond located at the Meadow at Hillcreek Subdivision into ‘Augusta Georgia (ARC) Pond System’ to provide community wide Stormwater Management as requested by AED. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee October 25, 2010) Background: Approximately 19.5 acres drainage area is contributing to a stormwater detention pond located at Meadow at Hill Creek subdivision. This drainage area includes a mixture of land uses such as commercial development, residential development, and public right-of-way and road system. This facility is serving as a community stormwater management pond; however, Meadow at Hill Creek Home Owner Association (HOA) inherited the ownership and upkeep of this facility. Recently HOA raised concerns to maintain a community pond and requested Augusta Engineering Department to do assessment of contributing drainage area and accordingly taking this pond into Augusta Georgia Pond System. HOA also submitted a petition (copy attached) in support of this request. Augusta Engineering Department (AED) staff visited the area and completed its assessment on August 24, 2010. Field inspections, record review and engineer of record interview were conducted to verify contributing drainage area and current condition of in question pond. Analysis:It is Augusta Georgia policy to accept infrastructure including stormwater pond in a public subdivision at the developer request. Per AED staff assessment, the Pond in question is not an individual pond but serving as a community pond and functioning properly. In addition, except this pond, rest of the stormwater system in this subdivision is public and was deeded to Augusta Georgia at final platting of this subdivision. Given that the pond in question is part of a public subdivision and also receiving runoff from surrounding commercial developments and public right-of-way & road system, it is AED recommendation to accept this Pond into Augusta Georgia pond system and HOA transfers the deed of this facility to Augusta Georgia. Financial Impact:No direct financial impact. The pond will be included into city owner pond maintenance program.
