address who is responsible for maintaining the road: SA-51 - A request for Approved
concurrence with the Augusta Georgia Planning Commission to approve a
petition to amend the Land Subdivision Regulations for Augusta, Georgia by
amending the following sections: Section 302 - Development Plan - require
multiple access points and interconnectivity to unsubdivided lands. Section
400 - General Standards for Streets - require multiple access points and
inconnectivity to unsubdivided lands and lengths of cul-de-sacs. The question
was raised concerning Home Owner Associations (HOAs) being obligated to
maintain secondary access roads into subdivisions. This is a burden that an
HOA will have responsibility for based on the decision of the developer when
the developer is in control of the HOA. The HOA folks get left holding the bag
for maintaining a road without having being part of the decision making
process.(Approved by Public Services Committee December 13, 2016)

Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Approve the purchase of a pipeline camera system for the
Engineering Department - Storm Water Division (Bid 16-255).
Background:The Augusta Engineering Department would like approval to
purchase a pipeline camera system to use in the underground
storm drain pipes in and around city boundaries. This new camera
system would be extremely beneficial in disclosing deficiencies in
the current underground aged piping systems which would allow
the department to make repairs or replacement before the damages
become critical.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published competitive bids using
the Demand Star electronic bid application for the Pipeline
Camera System (Bid 16-255). Three (3) vendors responded. The
results are as follows: (1) Adams Equipment company =
$94,393.00; (2) Environmental Products of Georgia = $91,795.00;
P&H Supply Company = Did Not Meet Required Specifications.
(Results attached for your review)
Financial Impact:The proposed pipeline camera system will be purchased using the
2016 Storm Water Capital Fund account (581-04-4320/52.24219).
The cost for the camera system is $91,795.00.
Alternatives:(1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request.
Recommendation:Approve the request to purchase one pipeline camera system for
the Augusta Engineering Department’s storm water program.

Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Approve the replacement of 2 Gradall excavator trucks for
Engineering Department - Storm Water Division (Bid 16-244).
Background:The Augusta Engineering Department would like approval to
replace 2 Gradall excavator trucks utilizing the Georgia Municipal
Association lease program for 60 months. Both new trucks will
replace older models, asset # 995176 and 995209, both 2000
models. These trucks are used for various excavation and ditching
projects throughout Augusta. The two older trucks are in
extremely poor condition with extensive age and wear and
tear. These trucks are accumulating an increasing amount of down
time due to their age and complex maintenance requirements
which in turn hinders the department from timely completion of
essential daily job duties. The two new units would help
significantly in staying abreast of the various excavating and
ditching duties throughout the Augusta area enabling them to meet
their daily work requirements. We have included pricing details of
the GMA lease program and would like to consider selling the
older trucks using the Augusta online auction site. We have
attached the older trucks evaluation forms for your review.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published competitive bids using
the Demand Star application for the Gradall excavator trucks (Bid
16-244). The results are attached for your review. One (1) vendor
responded. Tractor & Equipment Company of Augusta, Georgia =
$429,789.00 each. (See attachment)
Financial Impact:The proposed trucks will be leased for 60 months through the
GMA lease program (631-10-1110/54.9631) using funds provided
by the department’s 2016 Storm Water Capital Outlay equipment
lease fund (581-04-4320/52.24219). The total cost for the 2
Gradall excavator trucks is $859,578.00 with 5 annual GMA lease
payments of $ 171,915.00 each.Cover Memo

2017- Storm Water Utility - Vac Trucks
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Approve the 48-month lease of 2 sewer vacuum trucks for
Engineering Department - Storm Water Division (Bid 16– 214A).
Background:The Augusta Engineering Department would like approval to
lease 2 sewer vacuum trucks under a four-year contract. Both new
trucks will replace older models, asset # 994458, a 2002 model,
and asset # 206008, a 2006 model. These trucks have extensive
maintenance history. These trucks are accumulating an increasing
amount of down time due to their age and complex maintenance
requirements which in turn hinders the department from timely
completion of essential daily job duties. The department would
also like to include a full-maintenance program with the lease due
to the specialty requirements of these vehicles. The department
feels the proposed lease would allow them to obtain two new
trucks with the full maintenance program at a portion of the
straight purchase price alone. The truck vendor has also made a
reasonable offer for the 2 older trucks as a trade in to reduce the
lease cost. (See attachment) The two new units would help
significantly in staying abreast of the various storm drain related
duties throughout the Augusta area enabling the department to
meet their daily work requirements. We have included pricing
details of the lease program as well as attached the trade in vehicle
evaluations for your review.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published competitive bids using
the Demand Star application for the sewer vacuum trucks with
lease option (Bid 214A). The results are attached for your review.
Two (2) vendors responded. Please note that Environmental
Products of Georgia was low bidder for the straight purchase and
the lease option for the 2 sewer vacuum trucks. (See attachment)
Financial Impact:The proposed trucks will be leased for 48 months through the use
of the department’s 2016 Storm Water Capital Outlay equipment
Cover Memo
lease fund (581-04-4320/52.24219). The total 48-month lease cost
for the 2 sewer vacuum trucks with the full maintenance program
to include the trade in option is $646,814.12 with 4 annual
payments of $161,703.53 each. At the end of the lease, the
department will have the option of buying out the trucks, turning
them in, or renewing another 48-month lease for two new trucks.
Alternatives:(1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request. (3)
Approve the request in part.
Recommendation:Approve the request to lease 2 sewer vacuum trucks for the storm
water program and trade in the 2 older trucks as partial payment to
reduce lease cost.
