existing 24-inch water main. This section of water main includes an open cut crossing of
Butler Creek (water main installed in a casing pipe).

Item # 9
A-3 REVISION DATE: November 2007
2. Bidding and Construction Phase Services for approximately 2,110 lineal feet of 24-inch
diameter water main along HWY 56 from T’s Restaurant to Dixon Airline Road to be bid and
constructed under two projects, Project Nos. 10120 and 10122.
C. DESIGN CONDITIONS:
1. The CITY will provide the CONSULTANT with an as-built mark-up of the HWY 56 24-inch
Water Main – Phase 1 project.
2. Additional Services:
a. The proposed environmental service covers impacts that will only require a USACE
Nationwide Permit. This has been initiated under the Phase 1 work. If additional
impacts are proposed such that the impacts to jurisdictional waters exceed the maximum
requirements of the Nationwide Permit for either USACE or GA EPD, an individual
permit may be required and additional services may be necessary to complete the
individual permit application package. If additional services are required for an
individual permit, the CONSULTANT will notify the CITY regarding additional fees
necessary before proceeding further.
b. The proposed Total Basic Professional Services includes impacts that can be constructed
within the conditions stated in GA Code 12-7-6(b)(15) with regards to encroachment of
stream buffers of state waters for sewer lines. If impacts of stream buffers of state waters
by sewer lines exceed the limits of these conditions, a variance for buffer encroachment
may be required and additional services may be necessary to prepare a complete,
approvable variance application package for submittal to GA EPD. If additional services
are required for a variance, the CONSULTANT will notify the CITY regarding additional
fees necessary before proceeding further.
II. Basic Professional Services and Compensation:
A. Phase 1 – Construction Phase………………………………………………………….$6,500
B. Phase 2 - Design and Construction Phases:
1. Project No. 10122 (Design Consultant (ESG)) Perform field survey for approximately 850
LF of re-routed water line starting at Sta. 3+75 around the north and east property lines of
the Sprint Store property of the Sprint Convenience store property and along the south
right-of-way line of Marvin Griffin Road.
1.a Work performed after completion of item 1, above. Re-evaluated routing with regard to
Marvin Griffin Road plan revisions. This involved two meetings and plan mark-ups. This
effort was not acceptable to P & G and no further effort is required.
1.b Work performed after completion of item 1, above. Re-evaluated T’s Restaurant routing
involving one meeting, field work, plan revisions and easement revisions.

Augusta, Georgia 30901
Attn: Justo Chacon
Re: Revision #2 to Contract for Gordon Highway 30 inch Water Main Extension – Project
#10152
Mr. Chacon
As you are aware, the original scope of services for Project 10152, “Gordon Highway 30 inch
water main extension” has been revised to incorporate two route changes. Originally, the line
was planned for the south side of Gordon Highway. Due to problems with obtaining ownership
of properties on the south side of the road, the route was moved to the north side of the highway.
The first proposal amendment reflected costs arising as a result of this initial change. The
majority of the cost, 95%, was reflected in additional survey. The survey for the first
amendment began at Station 28+50.00 from the 36” water main’s 36”X30” reducer and 30”
butterfly valve and terminated with a 30”X24” reducer and 24” butterfly valve around Station
4+50.00 to connect to the 24” water main via a 24”tee, in Augusta-Richmond County, GA. The
36”X30” reducer and 30” butterfly valve was to be provided by the 36” water main’s design
team and the 24” tee will be provided by the 24” water main’s design team. WRJ, Inc. was to
show a 30”X24” reducer and 24” butterfly valve for the 24” water main to connect to. This
survey was performed by, STAR SURVEY, Inc.
Subsequent to this work, it was found that the line as surveyed by Star, Inc. ran through a
wetlands area and some parts of it were deemed non-constructible. After meetings with Georgia
Power to establish a new route, the team determined that in order to miss areas defined as
wetlands and improve chances for getting the line permitted under current state regulations,
segments of the would be relocated. This proposal presents costs to be incurred for relocation
the line. These costs include: 1) additional survey costs, 2) additional design engineering costs,
3) additional geotechnical and environmental resource work, and 4) additional other direct costs.
1. Additional Survey
The original survey done for this project on the South side of Gordon Highway was provided by
Ronnie Cook Surveying (HSC, Inc) totaled $15,685.00. The route was later changed to the north
side of Gordon Road and the survey was performed by Star Surveying for a cost of $18,250.00.
When the team decided to re-route the line to miss wetlands areas, the additional cost for
surveying is $11,500. This work includes approximately 800 feet of new line to be surveyed.
Please note that we still have $2,000 available in the original contract for plat preparation that
was to be used by Star Surveying, Inc. We anticipated another 3 plats would be needed in
Amendment 1, for a total of 7 plats for the project.
Attachment number 1
Page 1 of 3
Item # 10
2. Additional Engineering Design Costs
The original design work was estimated based on 6,330 linear feet of line. The redesign adds
approximately 13% more length to the overall project. The engineer had submitted the 30%
design before the routes was changed in October and utilized a portion of the available funds for
design. Some of that design will be usable; however, a large portion is not. We estimate and
additional $15,092 will be required to complete the design, above the original design cost.
3. Additional Geotechnical and Environmental Resource
The original cost for geotechnical work was $5,500.00. In addition to providing geotechnical
services, Qore will also provide environmental resource services for the project as well. Qore
met with the team and determined that it was too costly provide a drill rig along the route. The
company was familiar with the geology in the area and was willing to provide a geotechnical
report in absence of detailed drilling information that would serve as a basis for soil
classification in the area of the line. Additionally, Qore will provide wetlands delineation
services ($2,000.00), nationwide permit application services ($2,500.00), U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers onsite verification meeting ($800.00), preliminary cultural resource survey ($300.00),
and a preliminary protected species survey ($400.00).
The original budget for geotechnical work ($5,500) has not been exhausted and $1,620.00
remains. Therefore this proposal seeks an additional $4,380.00 for the environment resource
work and any additional geotechnical services.
4. Additional Other Direct Costs
An additional $2,000.00 in other direct costs has been estimated for travel budgets, meetings
with contractors and site visits.
