Background:The Augusta Utilities Department advised the Commission, in October 2008, of the need to notify certain users of the Augusta Canal to curtail water usage due to a shortage of water in the Savannah River system resulting from the ongoing drought. At that time, AUD advised that the Canal user being asked to cease withdrawing water was Avondale Mills, Inc. At that same briefing, we also noted that if drought persisted, other Canal users would be affected and would be required to curtail as well. In November 2008, the U S Army Corps of Engineers reduced the releases of flows from Thurmond Dam from 3600cfs to 3100cfs. Although the flows in the river have returned to 3600cfs that flow rate is not sufficient for the demands of all the mills and the water necessary to provide water for the public water system as the demands increase through the summer months. Analysis:As the demand for the public water increases in the upcoming summer months, the flows allocated to the Augusta Canal users will not be sufficient for all users assuming the Corps of Engineers limits the flows in the Savannah River due to the ongoing drought. In accordance with contracts with the canal water users, Augusta has precedence over use of all other users. In order of curtailment, the first user to be restricted will be Avondale Mills, Inc., the second will be Enterprise Mill, LLC and the third will be Standard Textile Augusta, Inc. Financial Impact:This agenda item is for informational purposes. No funds are being requested. Alternatives:No alternatives are recommended. Recommendation:We recommend the Commission be advised of the possible need to notify certain users of the Augusta Canal to curtail water usage due to ongoing drought. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: This agenda item is for informational purposes. No funds are being requested. Cover Memo Item # 8 REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Procurement. Law. Administrator. Clerk of Commission Cover Memo Item # 8 Engineering Services Committee Meeting 4/29/2009 12:50 PM Rock Creek/Warren Lake Restoration CSA/CPB 041609 Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering Caption:Award Design Consultant Services Agreement to Cranston Engineering Group, P.C in the amount of $136,611 and approve CPB 322-041110- 207822001 on the Rock Creek/Warren Lake Restoration Project to be funded from the project engineering account for the Engineering Department. Background:Warren Lake drainage improvement project is an identified funded project to address Rock Creek Basin siltation and associated Augusta Canal water quality improvements. As development occurred in the basin the flow from Rock Creek through the lake has increased. At some point in time the discharge structure and a section of the berm between the AugustaCanal and the lake was blown out leaving the lake in its current condition. The lake has filled with sediments over time and no longer functions as a trap. The flow from Rock Creek now passes through lake and poses a siltation and water quality threat to the adjacent Augusta Canal. Lake needs to be dredged and siltation should be controlled and maintained at the lake’s head. Analysis:The following firms were evaluated based on qualifications, project approach, experience, and schedule on February 12, 2009. The following firms submitted RFQs and were evaluated: 1. DuSouth Consultants, Inc. 2. Stevenson & Palmer 3. Watts & Browning 4. W. K. Dickerson 5. Cranston Engineering 6. W. R. Toole Johnson, 7. Laschober & Associates Cranston Engineering Group, P.C. was selected based on the evaluation procedures used for this project. Financial Impact:Funds are available in the project engineering account 322-041110 IMPACT 5212115/207822001-5212115 based upon Commission approval. Alternatives:Award Design Consultant Services Agreement to Cranston Engineering Group, P.C in the amount of $136,611 and approve CPB 322-041110- 207822001 on the Rock Creek/Warren Lake Restoration Project to be funded from the project engineering account for the Engineering Department. 2) Do not approve, and risk losing control of a vital quality water improvement project.
