Approve Change Order #1 to the existing construction contract in the amount of $147,964.00 to Blair Construction for
the Water Line Replacements for Fort Gordon Recreation Area at Thurmond Lake . Bid item #09-159.
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Motion to approve Change Order # 1 to the existing construction contract in
the amount of $147,964.00 to Blair Construction for the additional work to
complete the Water Line Replacements for Fort Gordon Recreation Area.
Background:The project is located at Fort Gordon Recreation Area at Thurmond Lake in
Columbia County, GA. The project is being constructed to replace the
existing 3" water main with an 8" water main that will allow adequate water
supply to the area. The project will connect the new 8" water main to a
Columbia County owned 12" water main near the intersection of Pike
Avenue and Washington Road, and extend approximately 8,300 linear feet
of 8" water main throughout the recreational area with service connections,
fire hydrants, backflow prevention devices, and an auto flushing device.
The project will also provide approximately 5,000 additional linear feet of
6" water main to serve the housing within the recreation area with water,
and sufficient flow for fire protection. The modification to this contract is
to accommodate new construction at the Fort Gordon Recreation Area. This
modification was requested by Fort Gordon and is beyond the original scope
of work. Augusta will be reimbursed by Fort Gordon for the cost of this
work.
Analysis:AUD has evaluated Blair proposal to Change Order #1 and has considered
the proposal fair and reasonable to accomplish the project.

Approve Change Order #2 to the existing Design Contract for Fort Gordon Wastewater Connection (Force Main and
Lift Station)
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Motion to approve change order #2 to the existing design contract in the amount of $71,985.45
to ZEL Engineers for additional work to complete the full Supplemental Environmental
Assessment at Fort Gordon.
Background:The Municipal Services Agreement (MSA) contract between the Augusta Richmond County
and Fort Gordon was awarded September 2006. A requirement of the contract is to provide the
wastewater connection from Fort Gordon to Augusta Richmond County wastewater collection
system.
The modification to this contract is to provide a full Supplemental Environment Assessment
requested by Fort Gordon .This Act dictates that all concerned environment and cultural
resource agencies have plenty time and information to review and provide comments on
impacts that may be caused by this action. In order to satisfy that additional scope, ZEL
sought the services of TetraTech NUS to complete the full Supplemental Environment
Assessment in order to satisfy the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requirements.AUD believe that this scope of work is inclusive and will provide a cost-
effective solution to the connection of the sanitary sewer to the Augusta collection system.
Analysis:AUD evaluated ZEL Engineers Change Order #2 to the existing Design Contract for Fort
Gordon Wastewater Connection (Force Main and Lift Station). This proposal is considered
fair and reasonable to accomplish the project.
Financial Impact:The design proposal submitted for this project was $71,985.45. These funds are available from
the following accounts: 507043420/5212115- 80600040/5212115
Alternatives:1. Rejection of this change order #2 would delay the design and the subsequent construction of
the wastewater connection ( Force Main and Lift Station) delaying revenue for the Augusta
Richmond County.
Recommendation:Recommend Commission approve change order #2 to the existing design contract to ZEL
Engineers in the amount of $71,985.45
Funds are
Available in the
Following
Accounts:
$71,985.45 from account 507043420/5212115- 80600040/5212115

360 Bay Street, Suite 180
Augusta, GA 30901
Dear Mr. Delaughter:
In May 2009, Zimmerman, Evans, and Leopold, Inc. presented a workplan to satisfy a
request from Fort Gordon for a supplemental Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the
proposed forcemain route. While completing that workplan, the environmental division
requested an additional scope of work to complete the SEA. In order to satisfy that
additional scope, ZEL sought the services of TetraTech NUS. Subsequently the SEA was
revised and published for comments. Only two comments were received, one from the
USACE requesting the wetlands Jurisdictional Determination and Pre-Construction
Notification, and another comment letter from US EPA requesting verification of why certain
activities were presented in the report. The wetlands information was submitted in March
2010 by ZEL. Upon discussion with Fort Gordon personnel, it was determined that a letter
response to US EPA would be sufficient to satisfy the final requirement to the SEA.
Subsequently, TetraTech NUS provided an additional scope of work to provide the response
letter. The original and amended fees requested by Tetratech are presented in Table 1 below.
Finally, the original contract did not include the costs associated with procuring easements.
Because we were able to reuse older easements that were previously executed for the
Jamestown project, the costs were reduced significantly. However the parcels between US-1
and Fort Gordon did not have any recorded information and thus required moderate
fieldwork and research. We have included the fee requested by George Godman, RLS, for
this scope of work.

Delivered via electronic mail to J. E. Jimenez on August 10, 2009
Subject: Final Proposal to Provide Support to ZEL Engineers in the preparation of a Supplemental
Environmental Assessment Concerning a Proposed Forcemain on Fort Gordon
Dear Mr. Jimenez:
Based on discussions Ms. Kristi Hagood and Ms. Karen Patterson of our office had with you on July 31,
Tetra Tech is pleased to submit this proposal for preparing a (revised) Supplemental Environmental
Assessment (SEA) for a proposed forcemain to convey wastewater to the Augusta-Richmond County
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This letter describes Tetra Tech’s understanding of the project
history and the proposed Scope of Work, briefly discusses Tetra Tech’s qualifications and experience of
key personnel, includes a proposed outline and schedule for revising the SEA, and a Time and Materials
cost estimate. We have also included a copy of a commendation letter we received for a “fast-track”
Environmental Assessment we prepared in May of this year and a copy of our Standard Terms and
Conditions.
The Project
Our understanding of the project is that Fort Gordon privatized its wastewater management system in
2006, consistent with Defense Reform Initiative Directive No. 49. This involved a municipal services
agreement with Augusta-Richmond County to connect the Fort Gordon wastewater system to the
Augusta-Richmond County wastewater system and pump Fort Gordon wastewater to the Augusta-
Richmond County WWTP for treatment. Fort Gordon’s Environmental Division prepared an EA in 2006
that examined potential impacts of privatization, but the EA was in effect a programmatic document
because alternative routes for wastewater pipelines had not been selected. The EA with a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) was completed and distributed to stakeholders in June 2006. In June 2009,
ZEL Engineers prepared a Supplemental EA that examined several alternative strategies/routes for
conveying wastewater to the municipal treatment facility. Fort Gordon Environmental Division staff
reviewed the draft SEA, provided ZEL Engineers with a number of comments, several of which were
substantive, and recommended that ZEL Engineers engage a full-service National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA)/natural resources firm, such as Tetra Tech, to revise the document.

Our Qualifications
We believe Tetra Tech is uniquely qualified to revise the SEA for ZEL Engineers. Tetra Tech holds one
of the DOE Nationwide NEPA Contracts and has held this contract since 1997, the first year that DOE
awarded this type of contract. We have prepared more than 65 Environmental Impact Statements,
Environmental Assessments, or supplemental analyses for DOE from 2003 through 2007. From 1981 to
2008, the Aiken Office of Tetra Tech prepared dozens of NEPA documents (EAs and EISs) for the DOE-
Savannah River Site (SRS), a facility that shares many characteristics with Fort Gordon. Like Fort
Gordon, SRS is a large federal reservation with limited public access, large forest stands managed for
both wildlife and timber production, and some restricted recreational use (hunting and fishing in portions
of the site at certain times of the year). Moreover, the two sites’ archeological and ecological resources
are very similar, which is not surprising given that they are only 30 (air) miles apart and both lie in the
Savannah River watershed.
The Aiken Office of Tetra Tech has prepared Environmental Reports (specialized NEPA documents
required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission) for relicensing of more 25 nuclear power plants
and has prepared Environmental Reports since 2004 for proposed new nuclear generating facilities in
Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.
In May 2009, we completed an ER for a proposed photovoltaic power generation facility in Chicago for
submittal to the DOE Loan Guarantee Program. This ER had an extremely tight schedule, and Tetra Tech
delivered the Final ER to the client 35 days from contract signature. A letter from the client (attached)
demonstrates his satisfaction with our performance.
Tetra Tech has prepared literally hundreds of Environmental Assessments for Department of Defense
facilities, primarily Air Force facilities, but in recent years has also gotten heavily involved in supporting
various Department of the Army initiatives, including the privatization of military housing on most of its
installations in the Continental US and Hawaii. This action was authorized under the Military Housing
Privatization Initiative (MHPI), enacted by Congress as part of the 1996 Defense Authorization Act, P. L.
104-106. The MHPI was enacted in response to a growing need for high quality yet affordable housing
for military personnel, and was designed to stimulate private development of housing for military
members.
Tetra Tech was contracted by the Mobile District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prepare
separate Environmental Assessments (EA), Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS), Findings of
Suitability to Lease (FOSL), and Findings of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) for each of the Army
facilities included in the MHPI program. Completed projects include: Ft Hood, TX; Fort Bragg, NC; Fort
Campbell, KY; Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield, GA; Fort Polk, LA; Presidio of Monterey, CA;
Moffett Federal Airfield, CA; Parks Reserve Forces Training Area, CA; Fort Irwin, CA; Fort Hamilton,
NY; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Monmouth, NJ; Picatinny Arsenal, NJ; Fort Rucker, AL; Redstone Arsenal,
AL; Fort Benning, GA; Fort Sam Houston, TX; Fort Bliss, TX; Fort Leonard Wood, MO; Fort
Leavenworth, KS; Fort Riley, KS; White Sands Missile Range, NM; Fort Knox, KY; Fort Detrick, MD;
Fort Eustis, VA; Ft Lee, VA; Fort Monroe, VA; Fort Story, VA; Walter Reed Army Medical Center,
Washington DC; and all Army and Coast Guard housing installations (7 areas) in Hawaii. Tetra Tech
also provided support for the privatization of Navy family housing for the Naval Post Graduate School in
Monterey, CA and the Coast Guard in Hawaii.

Proposed Project Team
The proposed Project Manager for this project, Ms. Kristi Hagood, has extensive experience preparing
Environmental Assessments and related documents in compliance with NEPA. She came to Tetra Tech
from Fort Gordon, where she was a NEPA Specialist involved in the preparation of Environmental
Assessments and Environmental Baseline Surveys for the Department of the Army. While at Fort
Gordon she co-authored several EAs, including the (2006) Environmental Assessment for the Proposed
Privatization of Wastewater Utilities; US Army Garrison, Fort Gordon and Fort Gordon Recreation
Area, Georgia and the (2007) Environmental Assessment for the Construction and Operation of a
Convoy Live Fire Range; U.S. Army Garrison – Fort Gordon and contributed to several others as a
Senior Reviewer. As a consequence, she is intimately familiar with Fort Gordon’s human and natural
resources and the Army’s policies and procedures for implementing NEPA at 32 CFR Part 651. Mr.
Mathew Neet, who will be the project GIS specialist and Land Use analyst, also came to Tetra Tech from
Fort Gordon, where he was a GIS Analyst with the ITAM (Integrated Training Area Management) and
Sustainable Range Programs. Mr. Derrick Haltiwanger, who is proposed as the Air Resources and
Hazardous Waste analyst, was an Environmental Scientist providing RCRA and Clean Air Act
compliance support to Fort Gordon’s Environmental Division Office from 2003 to 2008.
Ms. Kathy Roxlau, who is proposed as Historic and Cultural Resources lead, has contributed to numerous
Army NEPA documents, including EAs for privatization of housing at Fort Sill (Oklahoma), Fort Lee
(Virginia), and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. She has also conducted cultural resources
assessments in support of EISs for Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC)-related
expansion of facilities at Fort Belvoir (Virginia), Fort Lee (Virginia) and A.P. Hill (Virginia).
Mr. Mike Whitten, who is proposed as Project Terrestrial Ecologist, has conducted surveys of federally-
listed red-cockaded woodpeckers and state-listed gopher tortoises across the southeast in support of
power plant and transmission line projects. He conducted surveys of endangered species (including red-
cockaded woodpeckers and gopher tortoises) at Georgia Power’s Plant Vogtle and along 360 miles of
associated transmission lines in 2005-2006 in support of an application to NRC for operating license
renewal. He conducted numerous surveys of red-cockaded woodpeckers and gopher tortoises in Florida
in the 1990s for real estate developers and electric utilities, and was authorized by Florida Wildlife
Conservation Commission to relocate gopher tortoises that could be harmed by development activities.
The remainder of the proposed project team is shown in the attached organizational chart.
Proposed Technical Approach
Consistent with (1) our understanding of the Army’s NEPA requirements, (2) our experience preparing
NEPA documentation for actions at other Department of Defense facilities, and (3) comments ZEL
Engineers received on the draft SEA, we propose to do the following:
(1) Reorganize and re-format the document as appropriate
(2) Add new “Geology and Soils” and “Infrastructure & Utilities” sections
(3) Prepare all-new graphics and figures
(4) Stress the connection between the SEA and the original EA, and refer to the original EA as
appropriate, incorporating by reference, material that doesn’t bear directly on the analysis

(5) Tie the contents of the document more closely to the Army’s procedures for implementing
NEPA
(6) Expand and refine the discussion of ecological resources, in particular the assessment of
potential impacts to red-cockaded woodpeckers and gopher tortoises
(7) Present a list of special-status species known to occur in the project vicinity and make clearer
the distinction between state-listed, federally-listed species, and species of concern
(8) Add a discussion of the Army’s responsibilities and requirements relative to Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act
(9) Expand the discussion of cumulative impacts to non-pipeline/non-wastewater projects consistent
with regulations at 32 CFR 651.16 and 40 CFR 1508.7
(10) Add a discussion of potential infrastructure/public utilities impacts, specifically the potential
impact of the additional wastewater volume (up to 6 MGD) on Augusta Utilities (what is the
system’s current treatment capacity? What percent of this capacity is currently being used?)
(11) Expand the discussion of wetlands and wetlands impacts to include state and federal
requirements and the 404 permitting process
(12) Expand the discussion of Historic Properties to include a discussion of the NHPA and the
Army’s responsibilities relative to Section 106 of the NHPA
(13) Ensure that the Fort Gordon Environmental Division comments on ZEL’s draft SEA are
satisfactorily addressed
In addition to revising the SEA as described above, we propose to conduct a focused survey of red-
cockaded woodpecker habitat within a half-mile radius of the project sites, in accordance with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service’s (2003) revised Recovery Plan for the red-cockaded woodpecker. We also
propose to conduct a search for gopher tortoise burrows in the same areas. Note that our cost estimate
assumes that approximately 500 acres will be surveyed. Should it become necessary to expand these
surveys, costs would be revisited.
We also propose to write letters to regulatory agencies and stakeholders seeking information on the
resources of interest and any specific agency concerns, and place these letters and responses in an
appendix to the SEA. The content of these letters would be reviewed by Environmental Division staff
and the letters would go out under Fort Gordon letterhead.
Cost Estimate
The Time and Materials cost estimate for conducting the described scope of work under the proposed
schedule is $49,977. The cost estimate includes the following items:
The items described previously, in the Proposed Technical Approach
Delivery of a Draft SEA for comment
Incorporation of comments on the Draft SEA and delivery of a PDF file of the Final ER.
Our estimate assumes that no face-to-face meetings will be necessary, that any issues that arise can be
dealt with by phone or e-mail. It assumes further that resource reports prepared by Southeastern
Environmental Solutions, Inc. (wetlands), R.S. Webb & Associates (historic and archaeological sites), and
L.L. “Chick” Gaddy (endangered species) are comprehensive and technically sound, and no additional
investigations or surveys will be necessary, other than the red-cockaded woodpecker and gopher tortoise
surveys described in the Proposed Technical Approach section.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
4/12/2010 12:55 PM
Approve Change Order #21 CBWDC
Department:Public Services Department - Facilities Management Division
Caption:Approve Change Order No. 21 in the amount of $90,794.00 to the
Construction Contract for the Webster Detention Center (WDC) Expansion.
This Change Order also includes a contract time extension of 62 days for
increase in scope of work with no extended overhead charges. The revised
contract amount is $33,814,805.03.
Background:The current $33.5M Contract with McKnight Construction to construct
additions to the Detention Center was approved by the Commission on
November 5, 2008, and significantly altered by the addition of the Female
Pod (Change Order No. 1) shortly thereafter. Subsequent, additional
Change Orders have been approved since that time necessary for on-going
construction and enhanced functionality of the Webster Detention Center.
This Change Order enhances the project as follows: 1. Installs polished
concrete flooring in F Pod Dayrooms, in lieu of VCT; 2. Adds sealer to the
concrete floors in all of the cells in F Pod; 3. Changes the finish material
from plastic laminate to stainless steel on the video visitation stations in all
of the pods.; 4. Gives a credit for deleting the painting in the chase areas of
Buildings F and G TOTAL OF CHANGE ORDER #21 IS $90,794.00
Upon approval of this change order, total spending on project change orders
would be at 31% of the contingency budget or 2% of the initial, total
construction budget, which is well within budget and industry standards for
a detention center of this complexity. The revised contract amount is
$33,814,805.03.
Analysis:This Change Order consists of five major items, each recommended as
noted: 1. Replace VCT with polished and sealed concrete: ($29,416.59)
Replace the VCT floor finish in 5 day rooms with polished concrete. 2.
Replace exposed concrete with sealed concrete ($45,457.41) Replace
exposed concrete with sealed concrete in the cells on the first floor of the
Female Pod and on the second floor of the Female, Male and MMH Pods. 3.
Changes the finish material from plastic laminate to stainless steel
($40,120.00) Changes the finish material from plastic laminate to stainless
steel on the video visitation stations in all of the pods. 4. Gives a credit back
to the Owner (-$24,200). Gives a credit back to the Owner for deleting the
painting in the chase areas of Buildings F and G 5. Increased scope of work
days: (62 days). This item adds 62 days to the Construction Contract
schedule as allowed per Contract Documents because of increase of scope of
work as required by the above items.
Financial Impact:
This Change Order will increase McKnight’s Construction Contract amount
by $90,794.00. The Change Order will be funded by the project’s
Cover Memo
construction change order contingency, which retains ample funds for
future, unforeseen changes.
Alternatives:1. Approve Change Order No. 21 in the amount of $90,794.00 to the
Construction Contract for the Webster Detention Center (WDC) Expansion.
This Change Order also includes a contract time extension of 62 days for
increase in scope of work with no extended overhead charges. The revised
contract amount is $33,814,805.03. 2. Do not approve the Change Order.
Recommendation:#1. Approve Change Order No. 21 in the amount of $90,794.00 to the
Construction Contract for the Webster Detention Center (WDC) Expansion.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
4/12/2010 12:55 PM
Approve Judicial Center Change Order #15
Department:Public Services Department - Facilities Management Division
Caption:Approve Change Order #15 on the Augusta Judicial Center and John H.
Ruffin Courthouse in the amount of $66,588.00 for unforeseen undercut
work on sub-surface conditions on the west side of the Augusta Judicial
Center site along 10th Street between Talcot & Fenwick Streets.
Background:Graves Engineering services required removal of unsuitable materials from
the parking & roadway area parallel to 10th Street. Area was undercut down
to suitable soils and backfilled with select imported fill. Removal and
backfill of soils was observed and documented by Graves Engineering as the
Owner’s Geotechnical Engineer. Construction of the new Judicial Center
Facility is located in an urban setting in an older city, thus knowledge of
existing underground conditions was not possible to ascertain before actual
construction activity on the site.
Analysis:The proposed Change Order #15 and associated costs have been reviewed,
recommended and signed off by Turner Associates Architects and Potts
Construction per the contract requirements for acceptance by the Augusta

Approve or deny the use of Compressed Natural Gas as the required fuel source for the Solid Waste Collections
Contract.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Motion to approve or deny the use of Compressed Natural Gas as the
required fuel source for the Solid Waste Collections Contract. (Referred
from April 1 Commission meeting)
Background:The Augusta Solid Waste Collection Contract expires at the end of 2010. As
such, the Commission is first being asked to decide on a fueling option for
the trash collection vehicles. The landfill currently produces methane gas
which is being sold to an end user in Hephzibah; however the landfill
produces more gas than the current customer can use; and therefore is
exploring a second option for the remaining landfill gas. This gas could be
converted into Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and used to fuel both fleet
and contract vehicles.
Analysis:This is the first critical decision to be made as it will allow the Solid Waste
Department to move forward with either a Request for Proposals and a new
contract or to exercise the two one-year options on the existing contract. As
the current Solid Waste Collection Contract nears the end of the initial term,
the first option to consider is the fuel source for the trash collection vehicles.
Since the Solid Waste Department could convert the landfill gas into CNG –
this CNG could be required to be used to fuel trash collection vehicles.
Should be Commission choose to produce CNG and use the CNG to fuel the
trash collection vehicles, the Solid Waste Department would need to
exercise the two one-year options on the existing contract. This would allow
for the needed upgrades and installation of the equipment and facility to
produce the gas. Since this is not a simple “off the shelf” purchase and
installation of equipment, the Solid Waste Department would need the
additional time that the options could provide in order to complete the
design and installation of the CNG station. In addition to the design and
installation of the CNG station, the Solid Waste Department would use the
additional two years to develop and evaluate the RFP and negotiate the
contract with the collection company(ies). Should the Commission choose to
not produce CNG and use the gas to fuel the trash collection vehicles; the
Solid Waste Department is poised to discuss with the Commission the
additional details of the upcoming Solid Waste Collection services. These
discussions would include a systematic series of meetings to make decisions
on such things as the expansion of the service area and the level of service
provided to each customer (including the discussions on yard waste and
bulky item services). Addressing the items above and having these
discussions now will allow the solid waste department and the commission
the time necessary to carefully consider each decision and the impact to the
residents/customers.
Cover Memo
Financial Impact:None at this time.
Alternatives:1. Authorize the production and use of CNG at the Solid Waste Facility and
exercise the existing options on the contract. 2. Choose to not produce CNG
and therefore continue discussions about the details of the upcoming Solid
Waste Collections contract.

Award an emergency contract to Atlantic Coast Consulting for the repair and upgrade to the gas collection and control
system.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Award an emergency contract to Atlantic Coast Consulting for the repair
and upgrade to the gas collection and control system.
Background:
The Solid Waste Facility currently operates a Gas Collection and Control
System (GCCS) in accordance with requirements set forth by the Georgia
EPD, and the EPA. The GCCS was first installed in 1996 when Augusta was
having issues with methane gas migration on the landfill property. Because
of the amount of trash that was in place at the facility, Augusta reached what
is called “Title V status” and was required to install some sort of collection
system for the landfill gas. Landfill gas is comprised mostly of methane, but
it also contains carbon dioxide – both of which are greenhouse gases and are
harmful to the environment and dangerous if not collected and controlled
appropriately. As Augusta was not well suited to deal with gas, it
contracted out the gas system to a company named, LandGas of Georgia. In
that deal, Augusta gave away the rights to the gas, and LandGas was to
provide environmental compliance for Augusta. In 2005, Augusta initiated
proceedings to get LandGas to perform its services in compliance with Title
V standards. To no avail, Augusta purchased the GCCS system and all gas
rights back from LandGas in January of 2008. Augusta has been working
with the EPD on the environmental issues since 2004. The GCCS is
comprised of three basic components – the extraction points or “wells”; the
gas compression station, and the flare. Between 1996 and 2009, 87 landfill
gas extraction points have been installed in five landfill cells. The wells are
of varying depths depending on the depth of the trash in that particular area
of the landfill. The wells are all linked together by underground piping and
connected to the gas compression station. The compression station has two
large compressors and one small blower. These components provide
constant vacuum on the wells which removes the gas from the landfill and
pushes it either through a pipeline to the Unimin Corporation for use in their
processes or to the flare where it is burned. In order to maintain compliance
with the permit issued by EPD, the system must operate constantly. Since
Augusta purchased the GCCS in 2008, it has taken steps to improve
environmental compliance. Augusta has installed 49 extraction points, 4
condensate sumps, and over 14,000 feet of piping. Augusta worked to
contract CH2M Hill to perform engineering services on the system to
provide a plan for additional corrections. Due to contract negotiations, this
work never occurred. Augusta entered into a consent order with the EPD
on February 15, 2010. Within that order, compliance actions and a timeline
were established. Under item 2 of the order, Augusta must install a new
blower, flare and flow meter to be considered in compliance with the New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of the Clean Air Act by September
Cover Memo
14, 2010. Should Augusta not meet the specified timeline, additional fines
and penalties will be assessed.
Analysis:Atlantic Coast Consulting (ACC) currently has a Stand-by Engineering
contract with Augusta. The firm has a vast knowledge of the existing
infrastructure at the landfill; plus, ACC designed the gas system expansion
and provided construction quality assurance on all of the gas system
improvements made since Augusta took over the system in 2005. Further,
under the Stand-by Engineering contract, ACC has initiated key tasks
involved in the design of the new gas collection and control system.
Therefore, to eliminate the learning curve of another firm, and knowing that
ACC has the expertise to provide the design and construction quality
assurance services; it is recommended that ACC provide those services.
Financial Impact:Augusta estimates that this piece of the project will cost $1,250,000. This
money must be bonded to cover the costs of the project.
Alternatives:1. Award an emergency contract to Atlantic Coast Consulting for the repair
and upgrade to the gas collection and control system. 2. Do not award the
contract and jeopardize Augusta's ability to meet the deadlines designated in
the consent order.
Recommendation:Alternative 1.
Funds are Available in
the Following
Accounts:
We are requesting approval to bond the project under a separate agenda
item. That agenda item must be approved, or an alternate source of funding

Cover Memo
14, 2010. Should Augusta not meet its timeline, additional fines and
penalties will be assessed.
Analysis:Dabbs-Williams General Contractors is currently under contract with the
Solid Waste Department to construct its maintenance facility. Dabbs-
Williams has provided construction management services and construction
activities of the highest quality. Given the short time allowed to complete
the project, we believe that a construction management approach with a true
general contractor is the best approach in order to receive the best product
and the most efficient use of dollars. The general contractor acting as a
construction manager will be able to bid work to multiple companies to
insure that Augusta is getting a competitive price for the services performed.
The solid waste department is recommending installing some additional
equipment is addition to the blower, flare and flow meter. These additional
items all work to improve our environmental impact at the landfill. The
additional items fix current issues and eliminate potential future problems
that Augusta has with its GCCS. Therefore, we recommend installing new
compressor systems with dehydration, a power generator, well field
isolation piping, additional gas wells, system automation, and some repairs
to the pipeline that feeds the mine.
Financial Impact:Augusta estimates that this piece of the project will cost $7,750,000.

construction/construction management of the gas collection and control
system. 2. Do not award the contract

Proposed Riverfront Development
Department:Planning Commission
Caption:Presentation regarding proposed development on the Savannah River
upstream from the Lock and Dam.
Background:Janksowski Properties LLC is in the process of completing a master plan for
a 306 acre tract on the Savannah River just upstream from the Lock and
Dam. The plan includes a marina, some commercial development and
potentially 500 residential units. The project could evolve into a new
community with very positive impact, but it also has some possible
detrimental attributes that need to be carefully considered. The purpose of
placing this on the agenda is to advise the committee of the project and
provide for a dialog between the developer and commissioners. The plan is
not at a stage where any specific action is being sought.
Analysis:This is being presented for discussion only.

Street Lighting Resolution
Department:Abie Ladson, Director
Caption:Motion to approve a resolution creating street lighting districts.
Background:The Engineering Department has been petitioned by the citizens requesting
street lighting in their neighborhood pursuant to a 1971 Commission
Resolution authorizing the creating of Street Lighting Districts. The
petitioners agree to pay for all costs associated with the installation, ongoing
maintenance and energy.
Analysis:Currently, street lighting is non-existing in these areas. Street lighting has
been an effective measure to increase pedestrian and vehicular safety, assist
in crime prevention, and to promote businesses and community pride.
Financial Impact:Street Lighting Districts are funded by a self supporting fund. Street
Lighting charges vary based on the type lighting requested or required,
billable front footage, and light wattage and spacing. Costs for the subject
districts follow: 335 Southhampton $0.95/Ft
Alternatives:Recommend approval of resolution creating street lighting districts.

Wrightsboro Road Improvements-CPB Number Twelve and Supplemental Agreement Eleven
Department:Engineering
Caption:Authorize the Engineering Department to approve CPB Number Twelve
andSupplemental Agreement Eleven with PBS & J in the amount of
$116,907 to finalize the design of the Barton Chapel Road realignment;
update the plans in accordance with revised guidelines from GDOT, US
Army Corps of Engineers, and EPD; database revisions to incorporate the
changes to 14 parcels that have redeveloped; andextensive coordination with
the GDOT R/W Office during the negotiations of parcels as part of the
improvements to Wrightsboro Road from Jimmie Dyess Parkway to I-
520, ARC# 323-041110-296823309. Funds will be transferred from the
project Right of Way Account to the project Engineering Account.
Background:This is a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) project that will
widen & reconstruct Wrightsboro Road from Jimmie Dyess Parkway to I-
520. The Engineering Department is responsible for the development of the
preliminaryengineering activities and hired PBS & J to accomplish these
activities. GDOT is funding the right of way acquisition ($8.9 million) and
the construction ($17.6 million).
Analysis:PBS & J entered into an agreement with Augusta-Richmond County on
October 19, 1999 for engineering and design services on the Wrightsboro
Road project. GDOT approved for Barton Chapel Road to be realigned to
create a 4-legged intersection at Augusta West Parkway and instructed PBS
& J to revise the plans up to the level of preliminary field plan review status.
The Value Engineering process and the Public Information Open House
meeting have been completed. PBS & J was given the Notice to Proceed on
February 19, 2010 to finalize the design of this 4-legged intersection. The
cost of this effort is $63,402. In 2007 the US Army Corps of Engineers
revised the conditions for the Nationwide Permit. Drainage calculations will
have to be revised on three (3) box culverts and the design will have to be
revised to comply with the updated regulations. The cost of this effort is
$5,183. In 2008 the Georgia NPDES Permit was revised which changed the
design criteria for NPDES plans. In 2009 regulations to certain impaired
streams went into effect which added even more requirements to the NPDES
plans. The cost to incorporate these revisions is $8,844. Fourteen (14)
parcels have been redeveloped or have experienced extensive changes since
the original database was completed. The cost to gather the additional
survey information and update the database is $21,591. The final traffic
signal, signing and marking plans will have to be updated in accordance
with the MUTCD, 2009 edition, revised GDOT guidelines and ADA
requirements. This includes changes for pedestrian signals, additional signal
heads, changes to guidelines for street signs and wheel chair ramp design.
The cost of this effort is $6,907. Coordination with the GDOT R/W Office
Cover Memo
to settle two (2) parcels has been more extensive than anticipated. One
parcel was allowed to develop without coordination with the design of this
project. An oversized U-turn has been designed to accommodate truck
turning movements for another parcel to minimize damages this parcel is
incurring. Both of these efforts have required extensive coordination with
the R/W Cost to Cure expert and redesign work. The cost of this effort is
$3,980. Street lighting will be included as part of the safety features for this
corridor and the photometric analysis for the lighting design was approved.
GDOT is now requiring additional veiling luminance calculations which
were not included in the original scope of work for street lighting design.
The cost of this effort is $7,000.
Financial Impact:PBS & J has proposed a cost of $116,907.
Alternatives:1) Authorize the Engineering Department to approve CPB Change Number
Twelve and Supplemental Agreement Eleven with PBS & J in the amount of
$116,907 to finalize the design of the Barton Chapel Road realignment;
update the plans in accordance with revised guidelines from GDOT, US
Army Corps of Engineers, and EPD; database revisions to incorporate the
changes to 14 parcels that have redeveloped; and extensive coordination
with the GDOT R/W Office during the negotiations of parcels as part of the
improvements to Wrightsboro Road from Jimmie Dyess Parkway to I-520,
ARC# 323-041110-296823309. Funds will be transferred from the project
Right of Way Account to the project Engineering Account. 2) Do not
approve and delay the construction and improvements on a major
transportation corridor that is vital to the city.
