Engineering Services Committee Meeting
2/6/2007 1:00 PM
Alexander Drive from Washington Road to Riverwatch Parkway
Department:Abie L. Ladson, P.E., Interim Director Engineering
Department
Caption:Approve Supplemental Agreement Number Four (4) as
requested by the Engineering Department with Cranston
Engineering Group in the amount of $86,680 for additional
engineering services as required to design street lighting
plans, design retaining walls to minimize impacts to
properties, provide re-evaluations of the approved
environmental document and attend monthly meetings with
City Officials and Developers concerning the improvements
to Alexander Drive, CPB #323-04-296823215. Funds are
available in SPLOST Phase III Recapture Account.
Background:This is a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT)
project that will widen and widen and reconstruct Alexander
Drive to 4 lanes with a 20’ raised median from Washington
Road to Riverwatch Parkway Augusta Engineering is
responsible for development of the Preliminary Engineering
activities and hired Cranston Engineering Group to
accomplish these activities. The estimated construction cost
is $7.4 million and GDOT has identified construction funds
for fiscal year 2007.
Analysis:Cranston Engineering Group entered into an agreement with
Augusta-Richmond County on November 13, 1998 to
provide the engineering and design services to improve
Alexander Drive. The design of the street lighting plans was
not included as part of the original agreement. GDOT
requires that the approved environmental document must be
re-evaluated and approved before the right of way acquisition
can begin and the project can be let to contract. This is an
additional cost that was not included in the original contract
agreement. GDOT has approved the use of retaining walls in
the vicinity of the Kroger shopping center parking lot along
Alexander Drive. These walls will reduce the impact to the
Kroger parking lot, which will result in an overall savings to
the City since the City is responsible for funding and
acquiring the right of way. Design for the retaining walls was
not included as part of the original agreement
Representatives from the Engineering Department, GDOT,
and Cranston Engineering Group are meeting monthly with
the developers of the shopping complex on Riverwatch
Parkway. These meetings were not included as part of the
original agreement.
Financial Impact:Cranston Engineering Group has proposed a total cost of
$86,680 for these additional services. $68,400 for the design
of the street lighting plans $5,800 for the design of the
retaining walls, $7,920 for the re-evaluations of the approved
environmental document and $4,560 for the additional
meetings.
Alternatives:1)Approve Supplemental Agreement Number Four (4) as
requested by the Engineering Department with Cranston
Engineering Group in the amount of $86,680 for additional
engineering services as required to design street lighting
plans, design retaining walls to minimize impacts to
properties, provide re-evaluations of the approved
environmental document and attend monthly meetings with
City officials and developers concerning the improvements to
Alexander Drive, CPB #323-04-296823215. Funds are
available in SPLOST Phase III Recapture Account. 2)Do not
approve the request and jeopardize the progress of this
important project to Augusta.
Recommendation:Approve Alternative Number One.

Approve Construction Fees for Mabus Brothers for FJL LLC and the Augusta Auto Auction
Property
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve Construction Fees for Mabus Brothers for sanitary
sewer installation to FJL LLC property and surrounding
properties on Doug Barnard Parkway based on the cost-
sharing agreement agreed to by the Commission in
December 2005.
Background:In Fall 2005, AUD and FJL LLC met and proposed a cost-
sharing to install a sanitary sewer line to service properties
on Doug Barnard Parkway. Based on the area to be served by
the line, it was determined that AUD would cost-share to pay
60% of the cost, not to exceed $260,000.00. This was
approved in concept by the Commission on December 5,
2005. FJL and their construction manager, Kuhlke
Construction & Associates, submitted plans through the
review process and were approved. Per the conditions of the
agreement, Kuhlke and FJL conducted a bid process and
determined Mabus Brothers was the apparent qualified low
bidder. Subsequently, the scope of the original concept
changed, and the original development was split into several
smaller developments. The amount of property to be served
by the sewer line did not change. Subsequently, Kuhlke and
FJL negotiated the revised scope with Mabus Brothers to
develop a new cost. AUD reviewed the pricing submitted
from this negotiation and determined it to be consistent with
AUD’s historical average cost data.
Analysis:The final submitted price for the sewer line was $305,988.00.
Because that scope of work includes approximately 60% of
the project total, FJL asked AUD to pay for that scope of
work in its entirety. AUD agreed, provided that all of the
sanitary sewer line is installed prior to full payment. Based
on the cost estimates, the $260,000.00 is less than than 60%
of the project total.
Financial Impact:$260,000.00 from Renewal and Extension Account
507043420-5425210 / 80700010-5425210.
Alternatives:None Given.
Recommendation:We recommend approving the Construction Fees for Mabus
Brothers for sanitary sewer installation to FJL LLC property
and surrounding properties on Doug Barnard Parkway based
on the cost-sharing agreement agreed to by the Commission
in December 2005.

Approve Water Line Construction to improve service along Tobacco Rd Corridor
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve Water Line Agreement to construct a 12” water line
through Fairington subdivision to serve additional growth
along Tobacco and Windsor Spring Rds.
Background:
Augusta Utilities has approximately $1.25 million in funding
in the Windsor Spring Rd splost account to construct a 12”
waterline and improve a sewerline in the right-of-way when
Windsor Spring Rd is widened. As residential development
has accelerated in that corridor, the need for additional
waterlines has developed. The area is served by two different
pressure systems, and the higher pressure system is required
to provide sufficient water supply to the area. AUD has
developed an approach to construct this line in three phases
that would provide this water line to the corridor at a
reasonable price to Augusta, and ahead of the current
construction schedule. Nordahl Homes, Inc. submitted a
residential development plan which was only partially
approved due to lack of Augusta water infrastructure and
capability in the development. As AUD worked to develop a
plan to bring infrastructure to the area ahead of the Windsor
Spring Rd project, AUD and Nordahl met and discussed a
cost-sharing approach to install the waterlines. The proposed
waterline route would utilize a new utility corridor, donated
by Nordahl and a separate property owner, and cost-sharing
in areas where they had currently proposed to install
waterlines. The route would begin at the Tobacco Rd tank,
and travel overland to Kevin Dr in Fairington subdivision,
and then proceed through the new utility corridor, through
Nordahl’s development to Diamond Lakes Park. The line
would be constructed in three phases: the first from the
Tobacco Rd tank to the edge of Fairington neighborhood, the
second through the new utility corridor, and the third through
the proposed residential development. Nordahl worked with
their utility contractor, Haire Utilities, Inc., and submitted an
estimate for the construction of approximately 1600 feet of
12” ductile iron (DIP) water line and associated valves,
fittings, testing, and erosion control through the new utility
corridor. This construction contract will bring the higher
pressure system from Fairington subdivision to Diamond
Lakes park. Additionally, Southern Partners has been tasked
with providing an engineering route to connect the Tobacco
Rd tank with this water line, and AUD will solicit pricing to
complete that portion of the line once the design is complete.
Additionally, Nordahl, Inc. and AUD propose to cost-share
to construct the portion of the line through their residential
development. The two remaining sections of water line will
be approved under future agenda items. This will provide
improved water service to the Windsor Spring Rd area
between Tobacco and Willis Foreman Rds ahead of the
currently proposed schedule.
Analysis:AUD has reviewed the proposed pricing and found it to be
consistent with the average pricing information that AUD
retains for bid analysis. The items are within 10% of the
average price for all projects.
Financial Impact:Approximately $64,989.00 from the SPLOST Fund, under
account number 324-04-3510/202-63-4766 would be used to
pay for the construction of this phase of the water line.
Alternatives:There is no alternative.
Recommendation:Approve Water Line Agreement to Construct a 12” water
line through Fairington subdivision to serve additional
growth along Tobacco and Windsor Spring Rds.

Extension of Staff Augmentation Agreement with JJ&G-01/11/07
Department:Abie L. Ladson, P.E., Interim Director Engineering
Department
Caption:Authorize the Engineering Department to extend the current
agreement with Jordan, Jones & Goulding (JJG) for one year
to provide project management support via staff
augmentation in an amount not to exceed $160,000 to be
funded from SPLOST Phase V Administration lapsed
salaries (325-04.1197-5111110) upon receipt and review of
executed documents.
Background:Augusta-Richmond County (ARC) is responsible for Pre-
construction activities on several GDOT projects including
St. Sebastian, Windsor Spring Road, Alexander Drive and
Wrightsboro Road. These projects are in various stages of
development and require efficient and effective interaction
and coordination between GDOT, ARC and the respective
design consultants.
Analysis:On June 7, 2005, the Commission approved the initial
agreement with JJG for David Griffith to provide staff
support as Project Manager. This agreement has proven to be
very effective and beneficial to the Engineering Department.
His knowledge of the GDOT processes and understanding of
how to request assistance on projects has resulted in saving
the Engineering Department millions of dollars. He has also
been successful in finding and securing funds for projects
after the original funds for these projects had been
reallocated to other projects.
Financial Impact:Adequate funds exist in the SPLOST Phase administration
account to support this activity.
Alternatives:1) Authorize the Engineering Department to extend the
current agreement with Jordan, Jones & Goulding (JJG) for
one year to provide project management support via staff
augmentation in an amount not to exceed $160,000 to be
funded from SPLOST Phase V Administration lapsed
salaries (325-04.1197-5111110) upon receipt and review of
executed documents. 2) Deny and acknowledge that ARC
managed GDOT projects may experience delays.

Laney Walker Sewer Replacement
Department:Utilities
Caption:Ratify and approve the actions of AUD to repair and replace
the Laney Walker sanitary sewer main between Laney
Walker Court and Lover’s Lane through a second change
order to the existing Laney Walker Sewer Emergency Repair
Project in the amount of $80,214.31 for a total budget of
$545,214.31.
Background:
The Laney Walker sewer line is an 18” & 24” concrete sewer
line that was installed approximately forty years ago. This
sewer line is located at a depth of 14 to 18 feet, and is
parallel to the storm ditch which runs in the median of Laney
Walker. This sanitary sewer line carries all of the industrial
waste from Columbia Nitrogen Drive to the Second Street lift
station. The industrial waste is such that it reacts in a
negative manner with the concrete pipe causing the top
portion to erode and fail. The sewer line failures ultimately
manifest themselves into large holes from the pipe to the
ground surface. AUD has a sewer project that has been
awarded for construction called the Industrial Force-Main.
This project entails running a pressurized sewer line from
Columbia Nitrogen Drive to the Messerly Wastewater
Treatment Plant. It was the plan of AUD to get this sewer
force-main in service to remove the industrial waste from the
Laney Walker sewer line. After the industrial waste was
removed the sewer line in Laney Walker was to be evaluated,
repaired, and replaced with a much reduced sewer flow. The
Laney Walker sewer line has begun failing sooner than was
anticipated. Over the past year several point repairs have
been performed to patch the failing line by way of an
emergency contract with Blair Construction. On June 7, 2005
the Commission approved a budget of $250,000 for
emergency repairs to the Laney Walker Sewer line. $135,500
of this was for Blair Construction for various point repairs to
the sewer line. On October 17, 2006 the Commission
approved the first change order to the mentioned emergency
contract, bringing the total budget to $465,500. This action
was the result of an agenda item brought forth by AUD
seeking ratification for actions taken to repair the series of
additional collapses occurring along the Laney Walker 24”
sewer line.
Analysis:We have repaired and replaced parts of the 24” sewer line
under the items as described in the Background. We
constructed a new 18” line along Laney Walker from Hayes
Street to Lovers Lane and abandoned the 24” line which had
numerous collapses. In October 2006, when AUD requested
the first change order, the emergency nature of the project
dictated that the new 18” line be put in place expeditiously
without collecting soil borings. The soil conditions where
such that a much larger amount of select backfill was needed
that anticipated, and consequently the cost was
underestimated by approximately $80,000. This request will
provide the additional funding in the amount of $80,214.31
for a total budget of $545,214.31. This line carries the
wastewater from our largest customers and it was essential to
restore this line to a dependable condition.
Financial Impact:$80,214.31
Alternatives:None Rrecommended
Recommendation:It is recommended to ratify and approve the actions of AUD
to repair and replace the Laney Walker sanitary sewer main
between Laney Walker Court and Lover’s Lane through a
second change order to the existing Laney Walker Sewer
Emergency Repair Project in the amount of $80,214.31 for a
total budget of $545,214.31.

covers the existing pipieline and the easement needed to
connect the missed house to the system. The acceptance and
recording of the Easement Deed will rectify documentation
issues.

SECTION IV
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
USING BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
A. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Excessive soil erosion and resulting sedimentation can take place during land-disturbing
activities. Therefore, plans for those land-disturbing activities which are not exempted by this
Ordinance shall contain provisions for application of soil erosion and sedimentation control
measures and practices. The provisions shall be incorporated into the erosion and sedimentation
control plans. Soil erosion and sedimentation control measures and practices shall conform to the
minimum requirements of Section IV B. & C. of this Ordinance. The application of measures
and practices shall apply to all features of the site, including street and utility installations,
drainage facilities and other temporary and permanent improvements. Measures shall be installed
to prevent or control erosion and sedimentation pollution during all stages of any land disturbing
activity.
B. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS/BMPs
1. Best management practices as set forth in Section IV B. & C. of this Ordinance shall be
required for all land-disturbing activities. Proper design, installation, and maintenance of
best management practices shall constitute a complete defense to any action by the
Director or to any other allegation of noncompliance with paragraph (2) of this
subsection or any substantially similar terms contained in a permit for the discharge of
stormwater issued pursuant to subsection (f) of O.C.G.A. 12-5-30, the "Georgia Water
Quality Control Act". As used in this subsection the terms "proper design” and “properly
designed” mean designed in accordance with the hydraulic design specifications
contained in the “Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia” specified in
O.C.G.A. 12-7-6 subsection (b).
2. A discharge of stormwater runoff from disturbed areas where best management practices
have not been properly designed, installed, and maintained shall constitute a separate
violation of any land disturbing permit issued by a Local Issuing Authority or of any state
general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of O.C.G.A. 12-5-30, the
"Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such discharge results in the
turbidity of receiving waters being increased by more than 25 nephelometric turbidity
units for waters supporting warm water fisheries or by more than ten nephelometric
turbidity units for waters classified as trout waters. The turbidity of the receiving waters
9
shall be measured in accordance with guidelines to be issued by the Director. This
paragraph shall not apply to any land disturbance associated with the construction of
single family homes which are not part of a larger common plan of development or sale
unless the planned disturbance for such construction is equal to or greater than five acres.
3. Failure to properly design, install, or maintain best management practices shall constitute
a violation of any land- disturbing permit issued by a Local Issuing Authority or of any
state general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of Code Section 12-
5-30, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such failure
occurs.
4. The Director may require, in accordance with regulations adopted by the Board,
reasonable and prudent monitoring of the turbidity level of receiving waters into which
discharges from land disturbing activities occur.
C. The rules and regulations, ordinances, or resolutions adopted pursuant to this chapter for
the purpose of governing land- disturbing activities shall require, as a minimum,
protections at least as stringent as the state general permit; and best management
practices, including sound conservation and engineering practices to prevent and
minimize erosion and resultant sedimentation, which are consistent with, and no less
stringent than, those practices contained in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment
Control in Georgia published by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission
as of January 1 of the year in which the land-disturbing activity was permitted, as well as
the following:
1. Stripping of vegetation, regrading and other development activities shall be
conducted in a manner so as to minimize erosion;
2. Cut-fill operations must be kept to a minimum;
3. Development plans must conform to topography and soil type so as to create the
lowest practical erosion potential;
4. Whenever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained, protected and
supplemented;
5. The disturbed area and the duration of exposure to erosive elements shall be kept
to a practicable minimum;
6. Disturbed soil shall be stabilized as quickly as practicable;
7. Temporary vegetation or mulching shall be employed to protect exposed critical
areas during development;
8. Permanent vegetation and structural erosion control practices shall be installed as
soon as practicable;
10
9. To the extent necessary, sediment in run-off water must be trapped by the use of
debris basins, sediment basins, silt traps, or similar measures until the disturbed
area is stabilized. As used in this paragraph, a disturbed area is stabilized when it
is brought to a condition of continuous compliance with the requirements of
O.C.G.A. 12-7-1 et. seq.;
10. Adequate provisions must be provided to minimize damage from surface water to
the cut face of excavations or the sloping of fills;
11. Cuts and fills may not endanger adjoining property;
12. Fills may not encroach upon natural watercourses or constructed channels in a
manner so as to adversely affect other property owners;
13. Grading equipment must cross flowing streams by means of bridges or culverts
except when such methods are not feasible, provided, in any case, that such
crossings are kept to a minimum;
14. Land-disturbing activity plans for erosion and sedimentation control shall include
provisions for treatment or control of any source of sediments and adequate
sedimentation control facilities to retain sediments on-site or preclude
sedimentation of adjacent waters beyond the levels specified in Section IV B. 2.
of this Ordinance
15. Except as provided in paragraph (16) of this subsection, there is established a 25
foot buffer along the banks of all state waters, as measured horizontally from the
point where vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action,
except where the Director determines to allow a variance that is at least as
protective of natural resources and the environment, where otherwise allowed by
the Director pursuant to O.C.G.A. 12-2-8, or where a drainage structure or a
roadway drainage structure must be constructed, provided that adequate erosion
control measures are incorporated in the project plans and specifications, and are
implemented; provided, however, the buffers of at least 25 feet established
pursuant to part 6 of Article 5, Chapter 5 of Title 12, the "Georgia Water Quality
Control Act", shall remain in force unless a variance is granted by the Director as
provided in this paragraph. The following requirements shall apply to any such
buffer:
a. No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a
buffer shall remain in its natural, undisturbed state of vegetation until all
land disturbing activities on the construction site are completed. Once the
final stabilization of the site is achieved, a buffer may be thinned or
trimmed of vegetation as long as a protective vegetative cover remains to
protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in
sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; provided, however,
that any person constructing a single family residence, when such
11
residence is constructed by or under contract with the owner for his or her
own occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation in a buffer at any time as long
as protective vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic
habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on
the stream bed; and
b. The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities,
provided that they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of
crossing, within 25 degrees of perpendicular to the stream; cause a width
of disturbance of not more than 50 feet within the buffer; and adequate
erosion control measures are incorporated into the project plans and
specifications and are implemented: (i) Stream crossings for water lines;
or (ii) Stream crossings for sewer lines; and
16. There is established a 50 foot buffer as measured horizontally from the point
where vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action, along
the banks of any state waters classified as "trout streams" pursuant to Article 2 of
Chapter 5 of Title 12, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", except where a
roadway drainage structure must be constructed ; provided, however, that small
springs and streams classified as trout streams which discharge an average annual
flow of 25 gallons per minute or less shall have a 25 foot buffer or they may be
piped, at the discretion of the landowner, pursuant to the terms of a rule providing
for a general variance promulgated by the Board, so long as any such pipe stops
short of the downstream landowner’s property and the landowner complies with
the buffer requirement for any adjacent trout streams. The Director may grant a
variance from such buffer to allow land-disturbing activity, provided that
adequate erosion control measures are incorporated in the project plans and
specifications and are implemented. The following requirements shall apply to
such buffer:
a. No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a buffer
shall remain in its natural, undisturbed, state of vegetation until all land
disturbing activities on the construction site are completed. Once the final
stabilization of the site is achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of
vegetation as long as a protective vegetative cover remains to protect water
quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to
keep shade on the stream bed: provided, however, that any person
constructing a single– family residence, when such residence is constructed
by or under contract with the owner for his or her own occupancy, may thin or
trim vegetation in a buffer at any time as long as protective vegetative cover
remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is
left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; and
b. The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities, provided
that they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of crossing, within 25
degrees of perpendicular to the stream; cause a width of disturbance of not
12
more than 50 feet within the buffer; and adequate erosion control measures are
incorporated into the project plans and specifications and are implemented: (i)
Stream crossings for water lines; or (ii) Stream crossings for sewer lines.
D. Nothing contained in this chapter shall prevent any Local Issuing Authority from
adopting rules and regulations, Ordinances, or resolutions which contain stream buffer
requirements that exceed the minimum requirements in Section IV B. & C. of this
Ordinance.
E. The fact that land-disturbing activity for which a permit has been issued results in injury
to the property of another shall neither constitute proof of nor create a presumption of a
violation of the standards provided for in this Ordinance or the terms of the permit.
SECTION V
APPLICATION/PERMIT PROCESS
A. GENERAL
The property owner, developer and designated planners and engineers shall review the general
development plans and detailed plans of the Local Issuing Authority that affect the tract to be
developed and the area surrounding it. They shall review the Zoning Ordinance, Stormwater
Management Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, this
Ordinance, and other ordinances which regulate the development of land within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the Local Issuing Authority. However, the operator is the only party who may
obtain a permit.
B. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
1. No person shall conduct any land disturbing activity within the jurisdictional boundaries
of Augusta Georgia without first obtaining a permit from the Augusta-Richmond County
Planning Commission to perform such activity.
2. The application for a permit shall be submitted to the Augusta Richmond County
Planning Commission and must include the applicant’s erosion and sedimentation control
plan with supporting data, as necessary. Said plans shall include, as a minimum, the data
specified in Section V C. of this Ordinance. Soil erosion and sedimentation control plans
shall conform to the provisions of Section IV B. & C. of this Ordinance. Applications for
a permit will not be accepted unless accompanied by (6) copies of the applicant’s soil
erosion and sedimentation control plans. All applications shall contain a certification
stating that the plan preparer or the designee thereof visited the site prior to creation of
the plan or that such a visit was not required in accordance with rules and regulations
established by the board.
3. In addition to the local permitting fees, fees will also be assessed pursuant to paragraph
(5) subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. 12-5-23, provided that such fees shall not exceed $80.00
per acre of land disturbing activity, and these fees shall be calculated and paid by the
primary permittee as defined in the state general permit for each acre of land-disturbing
activity included in the planned development or each phase of development. All
13
applicable fees shall be paid prior to issuance of the land disturbance permit. In a
jurisdiction that is certified pursuant to subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. 12-7-8 half of such
fees levied shall be submitted to the division; except that any and all fees due from an
entity which is required to give notice pursuant to paragraph (9) or (10) of O.C.G.A. 12-
7-17 shall be submitted in full to the division, regardless of the existence of a Local
Issuing Authority in the jurisdiction.
4. Immediately upon receipt of an application and plan for a permit, the Local Issuing
Authority shall refer the application and plan to the District for its review and approval or
disapproval concerning the adequacy of the erosion and sedimentation control plan. A
District shall approve or disapprove a plan within 35 days of receipt. Failure of a District
to act within 35 days shall be considered an approval of the pending plan. The results of
the District review shall be forwarded to the Local Issuing Authority. No permit will be
issued unless the plan has been approved by the District, and any variances required by
Section IV C. 15. & 16 and bonding, if required as per Section V B.5. (b), have been
obtained. Such review will not be required if the Local Issuing Authority and the District
have entered into an agreement which allows the Local Issuing Authority to conduct such

Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Approve award of design contract in the amount of
$59,790.00 to W.K. Dickson & Co. Inc. for sanitary sewer
replacement of the Mid-City replacement at Chafee Park.
Background:The Mid-City sanitary sewer main begins at the confluence
of the Rae's Creek and Rock Creek sewer mains. The Mid-
City travels through downtown to the intersection of Laney
Walker and New Savannah Rd. The existing line was
bypassed with a siphon several years ago to ensure proper
sanitary service, however the existing sewer has several areas
which require maintenance or replacement. The section
adjacent to the Canal at Chafee Park and Broad Street is an
area that requires maintenance. Inside the line, several layers
of brick and debris have built up from collapsing manholes
and pipe in the vicinity. The current line is the bypass line for
the sewer siphon, and still serves the Pearl Avenue sewer
line. The line needs to be replaced in order to provide proper
service. The existing line lies approximately 125 feet from
the banks of the canal, and is approximately 20 feet deep.
Under a separate contract, AUD inserted a sewer camera into
the sewer line to videotape its’ condition. Several of those
photos are attached. The proposed replacement of the
sanitary sewer main will consist of approximately 1,700 LF
of 36” diameter ductile iron pipe.
Analysis:W.K. Dickson is a recently established local firm that was
selected for a small waterline project in the 2004 bond issue.
They are a regional firm with a surveying branch. AUD and
WK Dickson met on-site to review the scope of the project,
and subsequently WK Dickson submitted a proposal to
develop a plan to replace that section of line. The estimated
construction cost of the replacement line is approximately
$460,000.00. The engineering fees of $59,790.00 constitute
approximately 13% of the estimated construction cost.
Financial Impact:The bid submitted for this project was $59,790.00. These
funds are available from the AUD Renewal and Extension
fund in the following accounts: 507043420-5212115 /
80700005-5212115
Alternatives:No alternative is proposed.
Recommendation:We recommend Approve award of design contract in the
amount of $59,790.00 to W.K. Dickson & Co. Inc. for
sanitary sewer replacement of the Mid-City replacement at
Chafee Park.

ATTACHMENT A – SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project involves Professional Engineering Services related to the design and construction of
the Mid-City Interceptor Replacement at Chaffee Park for the Augusta Utilities Department.
W.K. Dickson & Co., Inc. (WKD) proposes to provide professional land surveying and
engineering services for the described project. The proposed sanitary sewer main project will
consist of approximately 1,700 LF of 36” diameter ductile iron pipe that will connect at one end to
an existing manhole east of the intersection of Division Street and Pearl Avenue and connect to
the opposite end to an existing manhole located west of the Augusta Canal and north of Broad
Street. The proposed sanitary sewer main will be located west of the Augusta Canal on property
owned by the City of Augusta, Georgia. Said main will generally parallel the Augusta Canal
approximately 125’ from the edge of the canal. Due to the condition of the line it is expected that
the new outfall line will be installed further from the canal to facilitate laying conditions.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES:
The CONSULTANT proposes to provide the following scope of services for the fees listed under
the “Cost Proposal”.
A. Design Surveys and Mapping
CONSULTANT proposes to complete field surveys (both topographic and physical) and related
mapping for the proposed sanitary sewer main replacement. From data provided by the Augusta
Utilities Department (work sheets from AUD survey crew, easement plats, and agreement with
Georgia Power Company regarding GPC transmission lines), W K Dickson will provide a strip
topographic map of the area showing existing contours (1’ interval) and existing utilities within
the described area. The described area would be approximately 1,400 ‘in length and a width of
150’ more or less (4.8 ac).
It should be noted that existing manholes range in depth of 15’-22’. Therefore, “confined space
entry” will be employed to determine the invert elevation of the existing manholes. These
existing manholes will act as “tie-in” points for the proposed replacement main.
AUD has identified several control points which are referenced horizontally to the geographic
coordinate system of the North American 1983 Datum. The design survey will use information
previously prepared by AUD and then augment with additional topographics and property
location needed for construction documents.
-Establishing horizontal and vertical control for the proposed improvements.
-Survey physical and topographical conditions at the existing project site.
-Locate visible above ground and subsurface utilities. We will attempt to locate available
information regarding underground utilities such as water, sewer, and Stormwater with
the assistance of Augusta Utilities Department and will map other underground utilities
(such as gas, telephone, cable and power) as marked in the field by utility location firms.
-WK Dickson will subcontract private location of underground utilities to supplement
utility locations by utilities providers
-Since the depth of the sanitary sewer main is a major factor in the design, WK Dickson
has requested the services of Qore Property Sciences. Qore will provide geotechnical
services to perform subsurface exploration of the site. WK Dickson will review the scope
of services for Qore with AUD prior to subcontracting the work and bill as a reimbursable
expense at a cost plus 15%.
-It is anticipated that WKD will prepare a new easement plat for the relocated line and the
construction thereof as part of the project. This plat will be prepared during the design
phase of the project and submitted to AUD for review and acceptance. It is anticipated
that only one property will be effected and that all easements can be done on one plat.
B. Waters of the US Delineation
WK Dickson does not anticipate any waters of the U.S. in the project area. Therefore, mitigation
is not anticipated at this time and mitigation planning is not included in the cost estimate.
C. Engineering Design
Utilizing the design surveying and mapping, final plans and specifications will be developed for
the proposed project with the anticipation of a high water table and the depth of the manholes,
special structures will be considered for the proposed manholes. Work in this phase will include
the following:
-Finalize horizontal and vertical geometry.
-Meet with Utilities Department to define phases.
-Prepare plans and detail sheets for the phase. Additions to the Augusta Utilities
Department “Standard s and Specifications” will be made to adjust for the special
structures.
-Show the necessary erosion control measures for the entire project and prepare erosion
control details.
-Prepare technical specifications on materials and workmanship. Prepare technical
specifications on materials and workmanship to comply with the results of the subsurface
exploration.
-Submit Plans, Specifications and Permit Applications to Augusta Utilities Department
for review. This will include applications to Erosion Control EPD.
-Prepare construction cost estimates at each review stage 30%, 70%, 100% and with the
submittal of final documents.
D. CONSTRUCTION BIDDING
Upon receiving the approvals from the regulatory agencies and the OWNER, the CONSULTANT
will proceed with the Construction Bidding portion of the project consisting of the following
tasks:
- Coordinate with the City Procurement Department to advertise the project.
- Fax bid information to City
- Attend mandatory pre-bid meeting as a technical reference to the CITY for the project.
- Prepare letter of recommendation for award of the contract.
- Develop conformed contract documents and forward to the CITY for execution.
- Attend the pre-construction meeting as a technical reference to the CITY.
- Provide clarification related to the plans/specifications throughout design and
