Highland Ave. Surface Water Treatment Plant Emergency Generators and Distribution System
Department:Utilities
Caption:Authorize the execution of an agreement with Georgia Power
for Emergency Generators and Distribution System for the
Highland Ave. Surface Water Treatment Plant in an amount
estimated not to exceed $1,924,903.
Background:During the design process of the Highland Ave. Surface
Water Treatment Plant, the Utilities Department planned for
emergency generators at the treatment plant. The generators
would serve as an automatic backup in the event of an
electrical power outage. With the new generator in place, we
also have the ability to consider using “peak shaving”
techniques as an energy management tool. We contacted
Georgia Power to consult with their industrial experts about
what we were planning. We found that Georgia Power had a
program in place to provide emergency generators and
distribution system for their industrial customers and they
strongly supported the concept of peak shaving.
Analysis:The Utilities Department had planned for emergency
generators as part of the plant original design concept. When
we learned of Georgia Power’s program of providing the
emergency generators and distribution system to their
industrial customers, we pursued the idea of having Ga.
Power provide both our normal operating power and
emergency power needs. With the equipment in place, we
can take advantage peak shaving energy management
methods.
Financial Impact:
Funds for the payments for the generators and distribution
system will be included in the annual operating budgets
under the account 506 04 3520 5312310. The amount of
payments will be computed contingent upon discussions with
the Finance Department, the Utilities Department and Ga.
Power. The monthly estimate for the payment is less than
$20,000 for ten years.
Alternatives:No alternatives are recommended.
Recommendation:We recommend the Commission authorize execution of the
agreement with Georgia Power for Emergency Generators
and Distribution System for the Highland Ave. Surface
Water Treatment Plant in an amount not to exceed
$1,924,903. This recommendation is contingent upon
reaching contract terms mutually agreeable with the
Administrator, City Attorney, and Ga. Power.

James B. Messerly Water Pollution Control Master Plan Implementation Phase 1 Project pre-
purchase of selected equipment.
Department:Utilities
Caption:Authorize award of bids for Pre-purchased of Equipment for
the James B. Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant Master
Plan Implementation Phase 1 Project to the lowest responsive
bidders.
Background:The Augusta Utilities Department, in order to take advantage
of Augusta's tax-exempt status, has prepared nine (9) bid
packages for various significant equipment items for the
James B. Messerly WPCP Master Plan Implementation
Phase 1 Project. The Procurement Department has used those
bid packages to solicit bids through the normal bidding
process.
Analysis:Our design engineers have reviewed the bids received for
completeness and conformance to the specifications. We are
ready to make a recommendation of award for seven (7) of
the packages. Below is a list of these packages and the lowest
responsive bidders: 06-153 Submersible Recirculation Pumps
KSB, Inc. $440,707.00 06-155 Fine Bubble Disc Diffusers
Sanitaire, Inc. $547,300.00 06-156 Biofilter Odor Control
Equipment Shaw Environmental, Inc. $959,200.00 06-157
Floating Mixers Siemens, Inc. $474,208.00 06-158 Sodium
Hypochlorite Generator Carter & Verplank $1,166,540.00
06-159 Butterfly Valves Henry Pratt Company $29,382.00
06-160 Slide Gates Golden Harvest $409,000.00 A bid
tabulation showing all of the bids for these packages and the
design engineer's recommendations are attached to this
agenda item for review. For bid item 06-161, Removable
Tank Cover System, we only received one bid which was
approximately $350,000 over our estimated cost for this
item. Based on the cost of this item and the lack of a second
bid for comparison we would like to reject the bid for item
06-161, modifiy our specification to attract more bidders, and
rebid this item. Bid item 06-154, Multistage Centrifugal
Blowers, is a complex blower and control system that is still
being evaluated by our design engineers for full compliace
with the project requirements. We will bring a
recommendation on this item forward when the evaluation is
complete.
Financial Impact:$4,026,337.00 from 2004 bond funds (Account 511043420-
5425210/80280130-5425210).
Alternatives:No alternatives recommended
Recommendation:We recommend that the Commission authorize the award of
the seven bid items listed above to the lowest responsive
bidders. We further recommend that the single bid received
for item 06-161, Tank Cover System, be rejected due to
being significantly over the budgeted amount and the
package be re-bid after modification of the specifications.

Revsions to NPDES Oversight Committee
Department:Planning Commission
Caption:Motion to approve revisions to the membership of the
NPDES Oversight Committee and revisions to the
membership section of the NPDES Committee's Charter to
add a thirteenth member to the Committee, a member with
CPESC Certification.
Background:Augusta, Georgia under mandate by the State of Georgia has
been collecting National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) fees for use by the Local Issuing Authority
(Augusta, GA) in monitoring storm water runoff and
enforcing regulations related to storm water runoff.
Analysis:It was the consensus of the Departments involved with
regulations and enforcement that an Oversight Committee be
developed to: (a) Serve in an advisory capacity to the
Commission and the Local Issuing Authority on matters
pertaining to The Augusta Georgia Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control Ordinance (Ord. #04-6705, June 15, 2004);
(b) Establish field inspection procedures, inspector training
and certification standards, reporting requirements, program
enforcement protocol, and community outreach programs; (c)
Conduct mediation hearings to recommend to the Mayor
resolution of differences of opinions in the interpretation of
all soil erosion and sediment control codes in force in
Augusta, GA; (d) Make recommendations to the Mayor
concerning unresolved matters in interpretation of
Ordinances, rules, or policies inspection procedures, and
enforcement protocol; (e) The Committee will not make any
changes to the adopted Ordinances, rules, or policies. If it is
felt that any Ordinance, rule or policy does not meet
Augusta, GA’s needs, a proposal to modify such may be
submitted to the Commission; (f) Serve as a liaison between
Augusta, GA and builders, developers, engineers, design
professionals, and other disciplines involved in the building
and development industries with regard to issues involving
soil erosion and sediment control and NPDES. This duty
includes dissemination of information such as adoption of
new codes and changes in policies to these groups and the
general public; (g) Manage the disposition of funds collected
in conjunction with NPDES permit fees, bond forfeitures,
and civil penalties under the direction of the Commission. It
is further the recommendation that the NPDES Committee
shall be composed of: (a) Two (2) personnel from the Public
Works and Engineering Department Specifically, Robert
Oliver and Steve Lucas (replaces Lori Videtto) (b) Two (2)
personnel from the Utilities Department Specifically, Joe
(JR) Holland and Gerald Wall (c) Two (2) personnel from
the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission
Specifically, George Patty and Terri Turner (d) Two (2)
personnel from the Department of License and Inspections
Specifically, Rob Sherman and Marshall Masters (e) One (1)
Developer Specifically, Nathan Youngblood of Nordahl
Homes (f) One (1) member of the Home Builders
Association Specifically, Oliver Owens of Southern
Specialties (g) One (1) member of the Neighborhood
Association Alliance (h) One (1) representative of Local
Industry Specifically, Bobby Scott of Weylchem (replaces
Holly Niebert of Weylchem) And a new position (i) One (1)
representative from the Augusta-Richmond County staff, or
if someone from the staff is not available one representative
from the local community, that has a CPESC Certification,
Specifically, Lori Videtto
Financial Impact:There will be no financial impact to the City from an
expenditure basis. One of the duties of the NPDES Oversight
Committee will be to manage the disposition of funds
collected in conjunction with NPDES permit fees, bond
forfeitures, and civil penalties.
Alternatives:Since, NPDES fees must be used specifically for the purpose
they are collected for, which is storm water management, not
having an Oversight Committee to regulate expenditures may
put the Local Issuing Authority in jeopardy if the funds are
not expended in a manner consistent with State regulations.
Recommendation:It is recommended that the membership of the NPDES
Oversight Committee be revised to replace lost members and
that the NPDES Oversight Committee Charter be approved
to add a thirteenth member to the Committee, a member with
CPESC Certification..
