Code, Title 7, Chapter 1, Sections 7-1-1 through 7-1-120 so as to
update and improve the Construction Codes and to allow the
Augusta, Georgia Government to obtain permits in a manner
similar to homeowners and contractors. (Approved by Public
Services Committee February 13, 2012)
Background:Augusta, Georgia Government desires to renovate government
buildings and construct new buildings for government use. The
proposed amendments will provide that the Government can
construct new buildings and renovate existing buildings, and have
the work inspected for compliance with the technical codes…The
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) adopts the construction
codes that Augusta, Georgia adopts by reference. The DCA does
not adopt the administrative sections of the codes; therefore local
governments adopt their own administrative sections. The
proposed amendments include updates to Augusta’s regulations
for administering the Construction Codes… The current fee
schedule was approved in 2011. The proposed changes are
corrections that are required due to rounding up numbers and how
our software calculates the number.
Analysis:The approval of the proposed amendments will update and
improve the Construction Codes and allow the August, Georgia
Government to obtain permits in a manner similar to homeowners
and contractors.

All provisions in this chapter in conflict with any provisions of the Technical codes referenced in
section 7-1-16 shall govern and control, and the conflicting provisions of the referenced codes
shall be repealed.
Sec. 7-1-18. Reserved.
Editor’s note—Ord. No. 6176, adopted in 1999, repealed § 7-1-18 in its entirety. Formerly, said
section pertained to rigid or thin wall conduit required in certain installations.
Sec. 7-1-19. Mothballing vacant structures.
(a) In lieu of enforcement under other provisions of this Code, the owner(s) of a vacant structure
may elect to close or 'mothball' the structure if the structure is vacant and unfit for human
habitation and occupancy, and it is not dilapidated, unsafe, unsanitary, or in danger of structural
collapse. Mothballing is defined as a method used to protect a vacant structure from weather
damage and vandals while preserving the structure for future use. The goal of mothballing is to
temporarily protect the property to allow the owner to plan the property's future, or acquire funds
for preservation, rehabilitation or restoration. In historic districts, the owner, prior to
mothballing, must obtain a certificate of appropriateness pursuant to Augusta-Richmond County
Code Title 7, Chapter 4, Article 4, Application to Preservation Commission for certificate of
appropriateness.
(b) Prior to mothballing a structure, the property owners will be required to register the vacant
property with the Planning and Development Department. The Planning and Development
Department will issue a mothballing a permit. Within ten (10) days of completion of the
mothballing, the property owner must contact the Planning and Development Department to
schedule an initial compliance inspection. Annually, the property will be inspected for
compliance with the provisions of this Code Section.
Replaced With:
Sec. 7-1-19.2 Registration of vacant and abandoned buildings
(a) Owners of vacant buildings, who elect to mothball in lieu of repairing or demolishing the
structure, must register their properties at the Planning and Development department prior to
beginning work. This registration shall be made through a form provided by the department and
shall include a list of a contact person or persons responsible for the maintenance and repair of
the property. This form shall contain the current telephone numbers and addresses of all contact
persons. It is the sole responsibility of the property owner to update this information at the
Planning and Development department.
(b) Mothballing permit. After registration, the owners of vacant buildings must obtain a
mothballing permit from the Planning and Development department. The cost of the mothballing
permit is twenty dollars ($25.00) that includes the compliance inspection. A separate building
permit may be required for building repairs.
(c) Term of permit, one year; option to renew for one year. A mothballing permit shall be valid
for one year next following the date of the registration of the property and may be renewed for
one year next following the first anniversary of the date of the issuance of said permit. The fee
for the renewal term shall be $25.00 and shall be paid when application is made for renewal.

Item # 25
Sec. 7-1-19.3. Specific mothballing procedures.
The three highest priorities for a mothballed building are:
1) to protect the building from sudden loss, 2) to weatherize and maintain the property to stop
moisture penetration, and 3) to control the humidity levels inside once the building has been
secured.
Sec. 7-1-19.4. General mothballing procedures.
(a) A properly mothballed building will have a watertight roof, secured doors and windows,
repaired or stabilized rot problems, painted wood, repaired masonry, and well maintained
grounds. All trash, debris, garbage should be removed from inside, outside and under the house.
(b) To ensure compliance with this Code section, the property owner, at a minimum, should take
the following actions:
(1) The building's roof should be weather tight. Missing shingles should be replaced,

Justification for Change
Brief description of the proposed contract changes and locations:

Item # 26
determined the quality did not meet that of the building. Therefore, the originally
planned drinking fountain was recommended. This change resulted in an
increase to the project of $1,410.27. Refer to Choate Change Order Proposal
#19.
2. Assistant’s Office #123, Delete/Add Doors. It was determined that an area of
the main sitting area be converted into an office for the FBO Manager’s

will be added to the contract. Refer to Choate Change Order Proposal #28.
3. Fireplace Addition. During the value engineering process prior to contract
execution, a cost savings change was proposed to eliminate a functioning wood

determined a fireplace would be preferred. Therefore, this item represents
including a propane fireplace to the project. This change resulted in an increase
to the project of $16,031.34. Refer to Choate Change Order Proposal #23.
4. Miscellaneous Electrical Revisions. This item represents modifications
associated with the building electrical, which includes installing new power
circuits and wireless access point data drops per the review of City IT

5. Site Water Line Revisions. As a result to the rerouting of the site water layout
from the east side of the building to the west side of the building modifications to
the site water line were required per Augusta Utility Department design
guidelines. The modifications included adding a backflow preventer, PIV and
vault for fire service, and a backflow preventer for domestic service, and an
additional fire hydrant, gate valves, tees, fittings, tapping sleeves and valves.
This change resulted in an increase to the project of $10,556.34. Refer to
Choate Change Order Proposal #25.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
2.1 The intent of this Performance Work Statement is to describe the work that the Contractor shall do in
full compliance with the provisions contained herein. The Contractor shall do all the work provided in
this Performance Work Statement and shall do additional work and incidental work as may be
considered necessary by Airport from time to time to comply with the Performance Work Statement in
a satisfactory manner. The Performance Standards for Routine Custodial Work are intended to
provide a platform for the routine cleaning tasks and frequencies for the most common housekeeping
tasks that will be performed on a frequent basis. The basic task category and frequency for the
performance of the tasks is shown on the Task Frequency Matrices.
2.2 The apparent silence on any specification, detail or the omissions of any detailed description
concerning any service or point whatsoever shall be regarded as meaning that only the best
commercial practices are to prevail and that only materials of first quality and correct type, size and
design are to be used. All workmanship is to be of first quality. All interpretations of this specification
will be made upon the basis of this statement.
2.3 The Performance Standards are intended to provide the Contractor a platform for the conformance to
the Quality Standards. The Contractor may utilize methods and techniques that differ from those
shown in the Performance Standards, provided that the different methods and techniques do not
reduce the quality level, damage the Airport facilities and grounds, create unsafe working conditions
for the Contractor’s employees, or require additional time or materials.
2.4 The conformance to the requirements of the Performance Work Statement will be measured by the
conformance of the Contractor to the Quality Standards. That is, the result carries more weight than
the method used to achieve the result. The desired results can only be achieved if the tasks and
frequencies for the work are adhered to by the Contractor. Adherence to these tasks and frequencies
by the Contractor will also be used to measure the conformance to the requirements of the
Performance Work Statement.

match, if possible, the cleaning abilities of the more traditional cleaning agents, shall not cause the
expenditure of additional Contractor labor, and shall not add to the cost of products and supplies.
Cleaning and other products approved by the Administrator for use in this Contract will be hereinafter
referred to in the Performance Work Statement as an Approved Cleaning Product (ACP).
2.7 Contractor shall ensure that the facilities are properly cleaned following these performance standards
and on the frequencies stated to ensure that the cleanliness of the Airport facilities will meet or

doors and vestibules and in offices.
3.8 DUST MOP/SWEEP
All visible litter such as paper, rubber bands, paper clips, chewing gum, etc. should be picked up or
swept and placed in a waste collection container.
Prior to sweeping the floor surface, use a mop and solution of ACP to remove spills and obvious soil
from the floor. Use a putty knife to remove gum, tar, and other sticky substances. On terrazzo or
other smooth finished floor surfaces, use the largest micro fiber dust mop that is practical to remove
accumulated soil and litter. On concrete exterior areas use a push broom. The entire area to be
swept should be cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, dry soil, and other litter. Chairs and trash
receptacles should be tilted or moved where necessary to sweep underneath. After the floor has
been swept, the floor surface, including corners and abutments should be free of streaks, litter, and
spots caused by spills or tracking. Soil can be removed from the dust mop by vacuuming, or carefully
brushing into a trash bag or container.
3.9 SPOT MOP
A wet mop, mop bucket and wringer, and an ACP solution should be used to remove all obvious soil
and non-permanent stains from the entire area. The ACP solution should be changed periodically
and remain clear. Trash receptacles, chairs, etc. should be moved when necessary to spot mop
underneath. After being spot mopped, the floor should have a uniform appearance with no streaks,
swirl marks, detergent residue, or any evidence of soil. There should be no splash marks or mop
streaks on furniture, walls, baseboards, etc. or mop strands remaining in the area.

mopped. Chairs, trash receptacles, etc. should be moved when necessary to mop underneath. After
being damp mopped, the floor should have a uniform appearance with no streaks, swirl marks,
detergent residue, or any evidence of soil. There should be no splash marks or mop streaks on
furniture, walls, baseboards, etc. or mop strands remaining in the area.
3.11 WET MOP FLOORS
Prior to being wet cleaned, the entire floor surface should be swept or dust mopped. A wet mop, dual
compartment mop bucket, and wringer, scrub brush, floor squeegee and ACP should be used to
remove all soil and non-permanent stains from the entire floor, baseboards, etc. The ACP solution
should be applied to the entire floor area and allowed to remain for three to five minutes. Then the
entire floor area should be scrubbed with the scrub brush if the floor is heavily soiled. In areas with
floor drains, the floor should then be squeegeed dry and rinsed with clear water. In areas without a
floor drain, the solution should be picked up with a wet mop and mop bucket and wringer or a wet
pick-up vacuum if available and then rinsed twice with clean water. The mop should always be
placed in the rinse water compartment of the mop bucket before being placed in the ACP side of the
bucket. All accessible areas should be wet cleaned. Chairs, trash receptacles, etc. should be moved
when necessary to mop underneath. After being wet cleaned, the floor should have a uniform
appearance with no streaks, swirl marks, detergent residue, or any evidence of soil. There should be
no splash marks or mop streaks on furniture, walls, baseboards, etc. or mop strands remaining in the
area.
3.12 VACUUM TRAFFIC PATTERNS
Use an upright carpet vacuum or Power-vac with carpet tool to remove obvious soil and litter from the
carpet in the traffic areas and where surface soil is apparent. Pick up and dispose of larger pieces of
litter and debris.
3.13 VACUUM COMPLETE
Use an upright carpet vacuum to collect surface soil and embedded grit from all areas accessible to
the carpet vacuum. The vacuum should be adjusted to correspond with the pile height of the carpet.
Chairs and trash receptacles should be tilted or moved where necessary to vacuum underneath.
Additionally, as necessary, to prevent any visible accumulation of soil or litter in carpeted areas
inaccessible to the upright carpet vacuum, a crevice tool and brush attachment should be used. After
the carpeted floor has been completely vacuumed, it should be free of all visible litter, soil, and
embedded grit.
3.14 SPOT CLEAN CARPETS
Use an ACP carpet stain remover solution, a clean micro fiber cloth, and a nylon brush to remove
obvious spots and stains from carpets. Spot cleaning should be attempted only after the carpet has
been completely vacuumed. Spray a small amount of the solution directly onto the spot to be
removed. Using the nylon brush, start at the outer edges of the spot and brush toward the center.

Page 24 of 30 Custodial Contract – American Facility Services
Remove the residue with the clean micro fiber cloth. If the spot is not completely removed, repeat the
procedure. If the spot remains after the second attempt, report the problem to the Supervisor.
3.15 RESTORE FINISH (SPRAY-BUFF FLOORS COATED WITH SYNTHETIC FLOOR FINISH)
Prior to being spray-buffed, the floor surface should be dust mopped and damp mopped to remove
any dry or wet soil. A single-disc floor machine, buffing pad, and a spray bottle with spray-buffing
solution should be used to restore a uniform gloss and protective finish to terrazzo floors which are
finished with a synthetic floor finish. The spray-buff solution should be prepared by mixing a solution
of equal parts of water and floor finish. The areas accessible to the floor machine should be spray
buffed. Chairs, trash receptacles, etc. should be tilted and moved where necessary to spray-buff
underneath. The floor should be dust mopped after spray buffing. After spray buffing the entire floor
should have a uniform, glossy appearance, free of scuff- marks, heel marks, and other stains, and
should have a uniform coating of floor finish. All spray-buff solution should be removed from
baseboards, furniture, and waste receptacles. Entrance vestibules should be spray-buffed daily.
3.16 RESTORE FINISH (BURNISH FLOORS COATED WITH SYNTHETIC FLOOR FINISH)
In wide open, non-obstructed, and clear areas use the “burnishing” technique to restore the floor
finish. This technique relies on the high level of heat generated by a pad driven by an ultra high-
speed floor machine to polish and restore the surface of the finish. Generally, if the coat of floor finish
is in good condition no spray buff or burnishing material is required to polish the floor and restore the
surface of the finish. The burnishing technique requires an ultra high-speed floor machine (1000 to
2500 RPM). The burnishing effect of the high-speed machines is all that is needed to restore the
luster and shine to the surface. If the floor begins to show some signs of deterioration a solution of ½
water and ½ floor finish can be damp-mopped onto the clean floor. Once this solution has dried the
floor can be burnished using the ultra high-speed floor machine equipped with a burnishing pad.
3.17 CLEAN AND DISINFECT DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Use a spray bottle of cleaner/disinfectant, micro fiber cloth, and a small percolator brush or bottle
brush to remove all obvious soil, streaks, smudges, etc. from the drinking fountains and cabinets.
Next clean all the porcelain and polished metal surfaces including the orifices and drain. Damp wipe
the sides of the fountain and clean any exposed piping, as well as ventilation louvers. Report any
leaks or malfunctions to the supervisor. After cleaning, the entire drinking fountain should be free of
streaks, stains, spots, smudges, scale, and other removable soil.
3.18 CLEAN INTERIOR GLASS
Use a spray bottle of ACP glass cleaning solution and a clean dry micro fiber cloth to completely
clean both sides of interior glass in doors, windows, partitions, workstations, displays, trophy cases,
mirrors, and other areas, up to 8’0” high. Remove any papers, notices, and the like taped or
otherwise attached to the glass surfaces. Use a scraper or safety razor blade to remove these items.
Spray a small area (usually about 3’x4’) with the glass cleaner, and remove the cleaner and soil with
a circular motion of the clean cloth Use a brush, squeegee and bucket of glass cleaning solution to
clean large expanses or areas of glass. After cleaning the glass shall present a clean, uniform
appearance and be free of any streaks, smudges, stain, or soil.

from the cleaning equipment striking the surfaces and splashing from the cleaning solution
and rinse water.
3.20.7 Care will be taken throughout the mopping operation to prevent the liquids and equipment
from coming into contact with electric outlets located in the floor areas or baseboards.
3.20.8 Preparation of Floor Area for Burnishing:
Prepare the surface by dust mopping the entire area and removing any wet spills or heavily
soiled areas with a damp mop. Dried residue (gum, etc.) should be removed with a putty
knife and/or gum remover. When finished, walls, baseboards, furniture bases and other
surfaces will be free of watermarks, marks from the cleaning equipment or cleaning solutions.
3.20.9 Burnishing:
Use the burnishing machine to burnish the entire floor (use a burnishing pad), overlapping
each pass by at least 6”. When the burnishing has been completed, the floor surface shall
have a uniform high gloss with no scratch marks, swirl marks or blemishes of any kind. The
burnishing solution can be applied by using the auto scrubber. Burnishing solution will be
applied thinly, uniformly and evenly in such a manner as to avoid skipping of areas. Walls,

Department:Planning and Development
Caption:Motion to approve an Ordinance providing for the demolition of
certain unsafe and uninhabitable structures in the South Augusta

Street, 1673 Garlington Avenue, (District 2, Super District 9),
AND WAIVE 2ND READING. (Approved by Administrative
Services Committee February 13, 2012)
Background:The approval of this ordinance will provide for the demolition of
the structures that have been determined to be dilapidated beyond
repair and a public nuisance. The owners of the above referenced
properties have been requested to correct the property
maintenance violations, and the violations were not corrected. By
approving this ordinance the City will have the structures
demolished, record a lien against the properties in the amount of
the costs incurred, and send the property owner(s) a bill for
payment that is due within 30 days of receipt.
Analysis:Continuing the removal of dilapidated structures will signal to the
public that neglected, unsafe and uninhabitable structures will not
be allowed and that property owners will be held responsible for
their properties.
Financial Impact:The average total cost associated with the demolition of the
property will be approximately $5,200.00. This includes the title
search, asbestos survey, and demolition.

New World MSP Upgrade and Subscription Agreement
Department:Information Technology
Caption:Motion to approve Agreement with New World Systems, Inc. for
the New World AS400 to MSP Upgrade. (Approved by Public
Safety Committee February 13, 2012)
Background:Augusta currently uses New World software to manage 911
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) as well as Richmond County
Sheriff's Office (RCSO) processes including records management,
case management, and corrections management. The technology
behind this solution is based on an IBM AS400 system, which
uses an old operating system and does not incorporate any
significant advances in technology. The New World Microsoft
Product (MSP) uses a smaller, less expensive hardware platform
and integrates more easily with new database, mobile, and GIS
technology.
Analysis:Remaining on the current AS400-based system is not practical for
the RCSO in the long-term because it does not incorporate current
and evolving technology that the RCSO would like to be able to
use. Cost comparisons (attached to the agenda item) also illustrate
that the subscription agreement with New World Systems is
projected to yield operating savings of over $550,000 for the total
length of the subscription. The major advantages of this upgrade is
that the RCSO and 911 will have access to new analysis and data
management tools that are available in a modern server
environment that is capable of being fitted with new technologies
(such as mobile apps, GIS, etc). Augusta also benefits by
eliminating a database (DB2), which is the only one of its kind
with the city, resulting in consolidation of the database platforms
that IT must support.
Financial Impact:The implementation services component of this project ($780,000)
will be funded through SPLOST. Ongoing operating costs will be
funded by IT and E911, as they are now. 10-year operating
savings are projected to be over $550,000.

Legality Approved by Legal.
There should be no legal issues -
this is typical and has been approved
in the past.
Intangibles
This protects Augusta from
increases that would typically occur
every year.
Expensive
Recommendation
Overall, this is the best option for
Augusta. We have also negotiated
an additional 100 software licenses
and two new modules (Pawn
Tracking and Equipment /
Quartermaster) as part of this
agreement.
Too Expensive

This is the Status Quo - no legal issues
inherent in this option.
This choice is not really an option since the
development path of the AS400 does not
include many important components that the
RCSO needs for modernization.
This is included for basic comparison only.
Due to changes in technology we could NOT
stay on the AS400 for 10 years and continue
to incorporate new law-enforcement
technology.

At any time during the SSSA term, if Customer believes that the Licensed Standard Software does not conform to
the warranties provided under this Agreement, Customer must notify New World in writing that there is a claimed
defect and specify which feature and/or report it believes to be defective. Before any notice is sent to New World, it
must be reviewed and approved by the Customer Liaison. Documented examples of the claimed defect must

EXHIBIT F
DATA FILE CONVERSION ASSISTANCE
Upon execution of the option to upgrade as specified in Exhibit C, New World will provide conversion assistance to
Customer to help convert the existing data files specified below. If additional files are identified after contract
execution, estimates will be provided to Customer prior to New World beginning work on those newly identified
files.
General
1. A data conversion analysis and assessment to verify the scope of effort for the project will be conducted.
A revised cost estimate for the data conversion may be provided at the conclusion of the assessment.
Customer may elect to cancel or proceed with the conversion effort based on the revised estimate.
2. This conversion effort includes data coming from one unique database or source, not multiple sources.
3. No data cleansing, consolidation of records, or editing of data will be part of the data conversion effort.
Any data cleansing, removal of duplicate records, or editing must take place by Customer prior to
providing the data to New World.
New World Responsibilities
1. New World will create and provide Customer with a conversion design document for signoff prior to
beginning development work on the data conversion. No conversion programming by New World will
commence until Customer approves this document.
2. New World will provide the data conversion programs to convert Customers data from a single data
source to the New World Licensed Standard Software for the specified files that contain 500 or more
records.
3. As provided in the approved project plan for conversions, New World will schedule on-site trips to
Customer location in order to conduct the following:
a. Conversion Analysis
b. Assistance for Mapping and Testing
c. Conversion Go-Live Implementation and Support
Customer will be responsible for actual Travel Expenses for these trips.
4. New World will provide Customer up to four (4) test iterations of converted data. One test iteration
consists of:
a. Running a conversion test in the Customer’s test environment
b. Customer reviewing a conversion test and responding in writing to New World (see
Customer responsibilities paragraph 3 below)
c. New World correcting or otherwise responding to issues to issues discovered and reported by
Customer.
d. New World conducting internal testing to verify corrections
e. New World and Customer planning for the next test iteration and/or the live
implementation.
5. New World will provide warranty coverage for any conversion-related issue reported by Customer to
New World within 30 days after the conversion is run in the live database.

Exhibit F / DATA FILE CONVERSION ASSISTANCE
Customer Responsibilities
1. Data files from Customer’s current AS400 database are included in this conversion.
2. Customer will respond to each test iteration in writing, on a form provided by New World, either:
a. Indicating acceptance that the Data Conversion Process is ready for the final conversion, or
b. Indicating a list of changes that need to be applied to the Data Conversion Process for the next
test iteration.
Up to four (4) test iterations are provided as part of the Data Conversion Process. After the fourth (4th)
test iteration, Customer shall pay $2,500 for each additional test iteration. Customer will promptly
review each test iteration when delivered by New World. Prompt Customer review will reduce the
likelihood that a need for additional test iteration(s) may arise due to an extended delay between delivery
of a test iteration and its review.
3. As provided in the project plan for conversions, Customer will provide a dedicated resource in each
application area to focus on conversion mapping and testing. This includes dedicating a support
person(s) whenever New World staff is on site regarding conversions. Roughly a one to one ratio exists
for Customer commitment and the New World commitment. Customer understands that thorough and
timely testing of the converted data by Customer personnel is a key part of a successful data conversion.
4. Customer agrees to promptly review and signoff on both the conversion design document, and on the
final conversions after appropriate review.

NEW WORLD SYSTEMS PROJECT METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
The focus of New World Systems’ Project Manager, Program Management Office (PMO), services team,
support team and all personnel associated with this project is to assist the customer complete their project
successfully.
Since its inception, New World has successfully completed thousands of customer projects and developed
a standard project management methodology that is predictable, repeatable, lowers risk and maximizes
customer success. This standard approach, the New World Systems (NWS) Project Implementation
Methodology (PIM), is based upon a combination of Project Management Institute (PMI) guidelines
(PMBOK) and years of successful New World project management activity deploying public safety
solutions.
The New World PIM is the standard process that New World follows for all project implementations.
Projects are divided into five distinct phases during implementation:
1. Initiation – Engage project management, establish initial communication channels and begin
planning
2. Planning – Create and approve the Project Plan
3. Construction – Execute the Project Plan to build, configure and review the system to verify
system readiness
4. Transition – Train users, perform data conversion, execute go live, complete post-go live
activities and finalize customer application customizations
5. Closing – Review and approve the project closure, disengage project management and formally
transfer customer to Account Management team
Each phase consists of one or more steps. Each step includes:
1. New World responsibilities – Activities New World staff is responsible to perform
2. Customer responsibilities – Activities customer staff is responsible to perform
3. Inputs (prerequisites) – Items that must be completed prior to the start of the step and are used
during the step
4. Outputs (completion criteria) – Items that must be completed during the step and are
requirements in order to consider the step complete (outputs are often the inputs of future steps
and must be completed in order to keep the project on track.)
A diagram of the Project Implementation Methodology is shown on the following page. Although the
steps on the diagram are sequential, over time, steps will overlap.

will work with local law enforcement agencies to develop a plan to allow the system to adopt the new
technology in their environment and submit reports after a period of operation.
During the Construction Phase, New World works with the agency to implement state reporting rules.
The first full test of these rules occurs 60 to 90 days after go-live, to ensure the Customer has data for
submission to the state. State reporting and editing can be a significant challenge and to assist Customers
with this event New World schedules and assigns an Application Specialist to assist the Customer with
their first submission process.
New World Responsibilities: New World Application Specialist will provide training services and
support to assigned Customer staff to submit, edit and correct state required statistical crime reports.
Customer Responsibilities: Identify primary and secondary staff responsible for submission and

Agreement with the Southeastern Natural Sciences Academy to manage public access and educational
activities.
Department:Utilities
Caption:Motion to approve an agreement with the Southeastern Natural
Sciences Academy to manage public access and educational
activities related to the constructed wetland treatment system at
the James B Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant. (Approved
by Engineering Services Committee February 13, 2012)
Background:One of the unique features of Augusta's wastewater treatment
system is the 400 acre constructed wetland adjacent to the James
B. Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant. This system is an
integral part of the Phinizy Swamp Nature Park. The many
students and other visitors to the nature park present an excellent
opportunity to educate the public about issues related to water
quality, wastewater treatment and watershed protection. We have
previously developed both a Source Water Protection Plan and a
Watershed Protection Plan as part of our operating permit
requirements. These programs are currently in the process of
being updated. Both of these programs include a commitment to
provide public education regarding watershed issues. We have
requested a proposal from the Southeastern Natural Sciences
Academy to manage public access and educational activities
associated with the constructed wetland system. The Academy
offices are located in the Nature Park.
Analysis:Providing these services to Augusta fits very well with the mission
of the Academy while allowing us to meet some of our
commitments for public education. The attached proposed
agreement outlines the tasks that will be performed by the
Academy. The cost of the proposed agreement is $2,500.00 per
month for a total of $30,000.00 per year. We believe this to be a
reasonable fee for the services provided. Since this needs to be an
ongoing commitment we believe that this agreement should be
approved and authorized for annual renewal for an additional three
years unless the cost increases above the approved annual amount.
Financial Impact:$30,000.00 per year Cover Memo
Item # 42
Alternatives:1) Approve the agreement as presented and take advantage of the
opportunity for public education. 2) Disapprove the agreement.
Recommendation:We recommend approving the agreement at a cost of $30,000.00
per year and authorizing the annual renewal of the agreement for
three additional years unless the cost increases above the approved
annual amount.

Amendment No. 2 to the Contract with ESG Operations, Inc. for the Operation of Water Pollution
Control Facilities.
Department:Utilities
Caption:Motion to approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement with ESG
Operations, Inc. to establish the final budget amount for 2012 at
$5,529,132.00. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee
February 13, 2012)
Background:On December 16, 2009 Augusta and ESG Operations, Inc. (ESG)
entered into an Agreement for Operations, Maintenance and
Management Services. The Agreement provides that ESG will
prepare an annual amendment to the Agreement which establishes
the budget for the year. Attached is a proposed Amendment No. 2
from ESG, which sets forth a 2012 budget of $5,529,132.00. The
estimated cost of wastewater treatment services for 2012 is
$5,247,882.00. We have also included an allowance of
$281,500.00 to provide for ESG assistance with maintenance as
may be needed at the water treatment facilities and other areas
within our system.
Analysis:The proposed budget amendment represents a 0.47% increase over
the 2011 budget for this work. ESG does anticipate an increase in
the cost of utilities in 2012 but demonstrated operating efficiencies
in various process areas is anticipated to offset much of that
increase. A copy of the proposed Amendment No. 2 is attached.
Financial Impact:Operations Contract cost of $5,529,132.00 from account

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM—ESG OPERATIONS 2012 BUDGET PROPOSAL
2
Utilities: Georgia Power provides electrical energy to AUD at the JB Messerly WWTP
under a “day-ahead real time pricing” rate structure. When AUD can produce
energy cheaper than Georgia Power provides it, diesel fuel is required to run the
generator units. ESG budgeted fuel requirements for 2012 based on last year’s
usage, which resulted in the request for an increase in the Utility account.
Chemicals: ESG believes the chemical account can remain unchanged. Although, the
polymer manufacturer is relocating their production facility to Chicago, which will
impact shipping costs.
Solids Handling: ESG reduced the budget in this account due to efficiencies gained
during 2011 that have increased the volatile solids reduction in the digestion process.
ESG’s proposed overall increase for 2012 is 0.47% and is $156,125 under our original
estimate provided in the price proposal submitted in 2009.
We are available at your convenience to clarify our estimate or answer any questions.

Commission Meeting Agenda
2/21/2012 5:00 PM
Approve a contract with Atlantic Coast Consulting for environmental compliance, environmental testing,
engineering, and consulting for Augusta’s Environmental Services Department
Department:Environmental Services
Caption:Motion to approve a contract with Atlantic Coast Consulting for
environmental compliance, environmental testing, engineering,
and consulting for Augusta’s Environmental Services Department
in an amount budgeted annually. For 2012 it was budgeted at
$850,000. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee
February 13, 2012)
Background:The Environmental Services Department is responsible for the
operation of Augusta’s Landfill. The landfill must comply with
federal and state laws as well as a variety of local, state, and
federal permit requirements. These include a Title V permit with
New Source Performance Standards per 40 CFR 60.75, which
requires that owners or operators of a landfill with an active gas
collection and control system submit semi-annual reports. Further,
the gas collection and control system must be monitored and
operated in accordance with the Title V permit requirements, and
certification of permit compliance must be submitted to both
Georgia Environmental Protection Division and US EPA Region
IV per Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.03 and 40 CFR 70.6. This requires
at least monthly monitoring of 100+ gas wells, the control system
operation and maintenance, cover integrity inspections, quarterly
perimeter methane monitoring, and surface methane scans of most
of the landfill areas. Additionally, the facility must comply with
the Georgia Permit GAR00000 for Industrial Stormwater, per the
Georgia Water Quality Control Act and Federal Clean Water Act
which requires a minimum of quarterly monitoring of stormwater
discharges from the facility, annual reporting and certification of
such, as well as development and maintenance of Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plans and Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Plans. While the facility is undergoing
construction, it must also comply with the Erosion and
Sedimentation Act to prevent discharges to state waters; and
monitor and inspect the construction site daily for any
improvements that can be made so that sedimentation does not
occur off-site. The Landfill also has been issued a Wastewater
Discharge Permit from Augusta Utilities so that the landfill
Cover Memo
Item # 44
leachate can be safely released into the Augusta system. This
permit requires quarterly sampling, monitoring, and reporting as
well as an analysis of the results to ensure that any discharge
remains within the permit requirements.
Beyond the few permit conditions and requirements described
above, the facility's Solid Waste Handling permit also requires
that the facility comply with the Georgia Rules for Solid Waste
Management (391-3-4) which provide that the facility, in
summary, complete at least semi-annual groundwater monitoring
and reporting, quarterly tonnage reporting, annual financial
assurance certification, annual remaining capacity calculations and
certifications, and operate the facility in accordance with the Rules
as well as the facility Design and Operation Plan. All of the above
reports require specific expertise in that particular area in order to
complete the work and the reports, in addition to specialized
certifications and/or licenses in order to complete or sign the
required reports. Simply holding a Professional Engineer’s license
is not sufficient in many cases.
Augusta is required to perform groundwater monitoring for two
closed phases and two active phases. The closed phases have
active gas extraction systems that are utilized to control impacts to
groundwater.
In 2010, an Assessment Monitoring Plan (AMP) and an
Alternative Source Demonstration (ASD) were prepared for phase
IIA/B. Both tasks were successfully completed and coordinated
with EPD regulators. Augusta is currently operating under an
Assessment of Corrective Measures (ACM) as approved by EPD.
In addition to services provided at the Deans Bridge Road
facility, the consultant has also provided services requested to help
identify landfill gas-related environmental issues at the Carrie J.
Mays Park. As a result of efforts for this project, a partial site
remediation has been completed that will allow the City to safely
re-open an area with a new playground and basketball court. Also,
we were able to utilize the consultant to assist with the
development and permitting of the methane remediation plan at
the new shared bus maintenance facility.
In addition to the environmental considerations, the landfill also
spends much of its time planning and developing for the
future. This require alone requires a variety of skills and
professions. Landfills must be designed to meet the standards of
the Georgia Solid Waste Rules. Once it is designed and approved
by the state, then construction begins. The engineer typically will
act as Augusta’s construction manager to ensure that items are
being constructed in accordance with the contract and address any
found issues that may arise. Finally, it is a state requirement that Cover Memo
Item # 44
for landfill projects, a competent CQA firm sign off on all the
construction. This ensures Augusta and the state that everything
was constructed in accordance to the design parameters. Testing is
a key to a quality CQA program.
The Environmental Services Department took on the
responsibilities of the Augusta Brownfield program which has
been largely dormant. This program, to be effective and receive
funding, requires the submittal of grant applications to the state –
these applications require much research and investigation into
Augusta properties in order to obtain funding. The compilation of
a list of potentially hazardous or impacted properties would be in
order; and that requires old-fashioned leg-work, Phase I and
potentially Phase II site assessments. Should a grant be obtained,
additional expertise and management of that funding and work
would be required.
The Environmental Services Department took on the
responsibilities of the underground storage tank program which
requires annual certification of each underground storage tank
owned by Augusta. There are four facilities with remaining tanks
– the landfill, Marina, Transit, and 401 Walton Way. These tanks
are of varying ages and compositions and each holds different
requirements including leak detection and tightness testing. New
for 2012 is the requirement to have certified operators at each
location – which means that at least one representative at each
location must attend training and pass a certification test in order
to continue to operate the tanks.
The Environmental Services Department took on the
responsibilities of the Industrial Stormwater program for Augusta
which requires the permit compliance of five locations – Daniel
Field Airport, Augusta Regional Airport, Fleet, Transit, and the
Landfill. The permit itself is very detailed and the permit
requirements are different for each facility – some require
quarterly monitoring and testing, some do not. Even at the two
airports, the requirements are different due to their locations and
discharge points.
Pre 2007 the Solid Waste Department had various service
providers to perform its needed functions. These contractors were
AES (laboratory analysis), BMS (project management), EMA
(groundwater and surface water), Genesis (CQA), JJG (design
engineering), and ACC (environmental compliance). They each
performed a single, stand alone service. It took much coordination
and effort on the part of Augusta.
In an effort to simplify Augusta’s efforts we released an RFP for
Stand-by-Engineering. This was a model that was being used by
DeKalb County. The RFP placed a variety of services under one Cover Memo
Item # 44
umbrella. From that, a contractor was selected and the department
has been able to streamline operations.
Analysis:Before 2007, the Solid Waste Department required a variety of
consultants to independently assist Augusta with everything from
design, permitting, environmental monitoring, and surveying
services to the more specialized tasks including waste analysis,
construction management, construction quality assurance, and
landfill gas monitoring. It was challenging for us to coordinate all
the different consultants for each specific project. Other
disadvantages to this process included the time-consumed in
bidding each project as well as the time to get each consultant up
to speed on the various site conditions and project history. As
some projects were based on time and materials, the learning
curve can be costly for Augusta. Second, should Augusta need
archived documents, trying to gain access from multiple vendors
is difficult. More importantly, most of these tasks performed by
different consultants are actually inner-related and this method did
not encourage global issue solutions within the Department. With
this in mind, we prepared an RFP and selected a single consultant
for Stand-by Engineering services in 2007. Under the contract
issued in 2007, we were able to effectively consolidate most of
our outsourced work under one consultant. This allowed us to
focus on department efficiencies and operations as well as overall
site improvements. In the last five years, we have dramatically
improved the City landfill with better maintenance facilities for
improved serviceability of our equipment, new scales which
minimizes the customer wait times and a new citizen recycling
and waste drop off facility which greatly improved their access
and options. Also, during this contract, we built two expansions to
the Phase 3 landfill area which has enabled us to continue to
operate the disposal areas without impacting our day to day
operations. The design, bidding and construction administration/
construction testing for all of these improvements to the site were
done under the Stand-by Engineering contract without one
construction contract amount change order increase. The facility
has various ongoing environmental permit requirements which
include semi-annual groundwater/surface water/storm water
monitoring and reporting, air permitting and reporting, constant
landfill gas system monitoring and “tuning”, as well as landfill gas
system expansion, to list only a few. Under this contract, we have
continued to perform all the required environmental monitoring
and also replaced more than a dozen groundwater monitoring
wells in order to improve the ability to collect representative
samples. Consolidation of services has afforded the department
several key items. First, we spend far less time soliciting services.
Second, by having one contractor reduces the amount of Augusta
management required for project oversight. Third, should Augusta
need historical data, it is available in one location. Next, it has
provided consistency with the regulators. One set of faces,
Cover Memo
Item # 44
methodologies and relationships to manage.
Financial Impact:The financial impact is difficult to predict over the life of the
contract. With the exception of routine environmental monitoring,
many of the costs are project based. These projects including
capital improvements are planned and budgeted in the annual
budget. Therefore, the department is requesting that the funds
allocated to this contract be set with the annual budget each year.
In this fashion, the department does not have to over allocate
funds in anticipation of future projects, or be underfunded due to
various workloads. The department will build a budget based on
the anticipated projects to be completed annually. As the project
load changes from year to year, the budgeted dollars can be
adjusted as well. For 2012, the department has budgeted $850,000
for this contract. This is an increase over the 2011 appropriation of
$650,000. The increased appropriation is an estimate on what the
additional services will be relating to the construction of CNG
stations as well as the other duties acquired from other
departments as part of the reorganization.
Alternatives:1. Approve a contract with Atlantic Coast Consulting for
environmental compliance, environmental testing, engineering,
and consulting for Augusta’s Environmental Services Department
in an amount budgeted annually. 2. Do not approve a contract
with Atlantic Coast Consulting.
Recommendation:Approve a contract with Atlantic Coast Consulting for
environmental compliance, environmental testing, engineering,
and consulting for Augusta’s Environmental Services Department
in an amount budgeted annually.

are unreasonably in excess of the actual stage of completion of each phase. Augusta shall pay
each such invoice or portion thereof as approved, provided that the approval or payment of any
such invoice shall not be considered to be evidence of performance by the Consultant to the

by such invoice. Augusta shall pay any undisputed items contained in such invoices.
Each invoice shall be accompanied by a progress report describing the total work -accomplished
for each phase and any problems, which have been, encountered which may inhibit execution of

Agreement.

proceeding in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

workers as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
(“BLS”), or its successor shall be used as part of the calculation to determine the annual rate
adjustment. If BLS designates an index with a new title or code number or table number as
being the continuation of the index cited above, the new index will be used, or if no new index is
designated, the most nearly compatible index shall be used.
Attachment number 1 \nPage 8 of 20
Item # 44

The annual rate adjustment will be determined based on the reported percent change from the
BLS of the most recent 12-month available data as well as other mutually agreeable applicable
factors, with an implementation of any adjustment being made on January 1st, and every January
1st thereafter with the first adjustment starting in January of 2013.
Should the referenced index and/or other applicable factors show a decrease, Augusta will be
entitled to a reduced cost up to the allowable limits as defined hereinafter.
In any event, the adjustment will be limited to a maximum increase or decrease of four percent
(4%) annually.
RIGHT TO REQUIRE PERFORMANCE
The failure of Augusta at any time to require performance by the Consultant of any provision
hereof shall in no way affect the right of Augusta thereafter to enforce same. Nor shall waiver
by Augusta of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any
succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of any provision itself.
In the event of failure of the Consultant to deliver services in accordance with the contract terms
and conditions, Augusta, after due written notice, may procure the services from other sources
and hold the Consultant responsible for any resulting additional purchase and administrative
costs. This remedy shall be in addition to any other remedies that Augusta may have.

schedule shall be equitably adjusted.

Wrightsboro Road Widening, Phase I - Bid Item–09-170 (SA3)
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director
Caption:Motion to approve Capital Project Budget 324-041110-
201824333 and Supplemental Agreement Number Three to
Cranston Engineering Group, PC, in the amount of $86,790.00 to
provide Interchange Modification Report (IMR), as required by
FHWA, for the Wrightsboro Road Widening, Phase I project.
Funding is available in the project engineering account for the
Engineering Department.(Approved by Engineering Services
Committee February 13, 2012)
Background:Phase I of the Wrightsboro Road Widening Project was part of
SPLOST Phase IV and called for traffic operational improvements
along Wrightsboro Road between Augusta West Parkway and
Marks Church Road. The area covered by this project is adjacent
to Augusta Mall and I-520 and is essential to the regional mobility
of this area. As the project has progressed, some elements have
required more complex design than originally anticipated,
especially around the interchange to improve operations of the
corridor in conjunction with the DOT widening project east of
Bobby Jones. Moreover, during a concept meeting with FHWA,
they requested that bike lanes be added to the design. To that
end, based on the extent of construction and modification of the
interchange operation, FHWA requires submission and approval
of an interchange modification report (IMR). The scope of this
supplemental agreement is for providing an approved IMR.
Analysis:Due to the complexity of the design associated with the proposed
interchange modification, funding is requested to cover an
approved interchange modification report.
Financial Impact:Funds are available in the project engineering 324-041110-
5212115-201824333 upon Commission’s approval.
Alternatives:1) Approve Capital Project Budget 324-041110-201824333 and
Supplemental Agreement Number Two to Cranston Engineering
Group, PC, in the amount of $86,790.00 to provide approved
interchange modification report (IMR) for the Wrightsboro Road
