Engineering Services Committee Meeting
8/9/2010 12:55 PM
Approve Change Order #1 to the existing construction contract in the amount of $76,805.00 to Blair Construction for
the Fort Gordon Eisenhower Hospital Area Gravity Sewer System . Bid item #09-156.
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Motion to approve Change Order # 1 to the existing construction contract in
the amount of $76,805.00 to Blair Construction for the additional work to
complete the Fort Gordon Eisenhower Hospital Area Gravity Sewer
System.
Background:This project is located at Fort Gordon, Augusta GA. The gravity sewer trunk
line will begin near 22nd Street and connect to the existing municipal
System just northwest of the National Science Center. It will serve an area
of approximately 250 acres bounded to the north by Fort Gordon Highway
(Route 10/78/278), west of the Gate I entrance . The trunk line will
eliminate the need for 2 existing lift stations and 3,200 If of force main
required to convey wastewater to the Fort Gordon wastewater treatment
plant. This municipal gravity sewer trunk line will consist of approximately
4,625 If of 8-inch and 2,700 If of 10-inch SDR 26 PVC pipe with an
estimated twenty-four 48-inch diameter manhole structures.The
modification to this contract is to upsize the new sewer main to
accommodate new construction on the base and extend a jack and bore due
to extreme depth of the new sewer main and unforeseen existing water
mains in the same path of the new sewer main. 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.
Financial Impact:The construction proposal submitted for this project is $76,805.00. These
funds are available from account 507043420-5425210/88880069-5425210
Alternatives:Rejection of this change order #1 would delay the construction and delay
revenue to Augusta Richmond County.
Recommendation:Recommend Commission approve change order #1 to the existing
construction contract to Blair Construction in the amount of $76,805.00
Funds are Available in

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
8/9/2010 12:55 PM
Approve Design Firm for Sheriff's Administration Building
Department:Public Services Department - Facilities Management Division
Caption:Approve the selection committee’s recommendation to issue a contract to
Clark Patterson Lee for the Design Services for the Augusta, Georgia
Sheriff’s Office Building in the amount of $599,714.50.
Background:During the Programming Phase of the project, a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) was prepared to solicit qualification statements and proposals for
Architectural Services for the Sheriff’s Office Building.
Analysis:We received six (6) compliant responses for the Phase I qualifications
submittals, after these were evaluated by the selection committee a short list
of three (3) firms were selected, based on the scoring for Phase I, to
participate in the Phase II Interviews. Subsequent to that, a decision was
made to invite the three (3) firms that were not on the shortlist to also
participate in the Phase II Interviews. After the Phase II Interviews were
completed and scored, the fees for the Professional Architectural Services
were opened and scored according to the scoring matrix included in the
Phase II submittal requirements. The selection committee has completed the
evaluation of the Phase I and Phase II submittals from the Architectural
Firms and hereby recommends that a contract should be issued to Clark
Patterson Lee in the amount of $599,714.50.
Financial Impact:The total amount of $599,714.50 for the Design Services Fees is included in
the overall total project budget of $10.6 million.
Alternatives:1. Approve the selection committee’s recommendation to issue a contract to
Clark Patterson Lee for the Design Services for the Augusta, Georgia
Sheriff’s Office Building in the amount of $599,714.50. 2. Select a different
method of procuring the design phase services and award the total contract
to a lump sum bidder, which will delay the completion date of the project
and increase the total project costs.
Recommendation:#1. Approve the selection committee’s recommendation to issue a contract
to Clark Patterson Lee for the Design Services for the Augusta, Georgia
Sheriff’s Office Building in the amount of $599,714.50.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
8/9/2010 12:55 PM
Approve the Purchase of Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck Trailer (Bid Item 10-133)
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the purchase of (1) hydraulic detachable gooseneck trailer from Yancey
Bros., the lowest responsive bid, for the Solid Waste Department.
Background:The Solid Waste Department currently uses a 3-axle gooseneck trailer for hauling
equipment. This trailer is under-sized to safely carry all of our current
equipment. This trailer is 16 years old and is due to be replaced.
Analysis:Our current gooseneck trailer is too small and too old to safely carry all of our
equipment. We are proposing the purchase of a new hydraulic detachable gooseneck
trailer with the capacity to safely carry our equipment, afford us greater flexibility
for growth with a 4th axle option, as well as a longer gooseneck for safer operation
and weight distribution. The cost for the new trailer, with additional options
inclusive, is $71,911.00. The Department recommends that we utilize the GMA lease
program and lease the equipment over three years.
Financial Impact:Adequate funds are available. The Department recommends transferring funds from
541-04-4210/5421110 to 631-00-0000/11-19114 GMA lease program. The
approximate annual cost for 3 years will be $23,970.00.
Alternatives:1. Approve the purchase of (1) hydraulic detachable gooseneck trailer from Yancey
Bros., the lowest responsive bid, in an amount of $71,911.00 2. Do not approve the
purchase.
Recommendation:Approve the purchase of (1) hydraulic detachable gooseneck trailer from Yancey
Bros., the lowest responsive bid, in an amount of $71,911.00
Funds are Available in the
Following Accounts:
Funds available in 631-00-0000-1119114 The -approximate annual lease cost for 3
years will be $23,970.00.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
8/9/2010 12:55 PM
Approve the recommended motions within the presentation “Solid Waste Disposal Contract, Recommendations for
2011”
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the recommended motions within the presentation “Solid Waste
Disposal Contract, Recommendations for 2011.”
Background:The Solid Waste Department is in the final year of a five year solid waste
collections contract. This contract has the option of being extended for two,
one year extensions. The current contract (without exercising any extension)
will expire on December 31, 2010. This contract has provided trash
collection services for the majority of Richmond County. The service
includes one 96-gallon trash cart and one recycle cart. The current service
level Augusta provides includes twice per week household service, once per
week recycling, yard waste, and bulky item pickup (including tires).
Household services include one 96-gallon trash cart which is serviced two
times per week – either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday.
Recycling service is one time per week and the household is provided with
one recycling cart to use for this service. The materials are not required to be
separated – they can all be simply tossed into the cart and wheeled to the
curb on the resident’s second day of collection. Yard Waste is currently
serviced one time per week and includes a 5x5x10 area of any combination
of kraft bags, 30-gallon cans, or bundles. Bulk waste service is also one
time per week and includes items in a 5x5x10 area or less than 50 lbs. each.
Bulk waste service also includes the pickup of two tires per household per
week. Over the years, the cost of services has continued to rise. In the last 5
years, the cost to the household has increased by 9.4% or about 2% each
year. The solid waste department continues to look for ways to reduce its
overall costs.
Analysis:Within the presentation there are a variety of concepts that have been
generated off lessons learned. Foremost is the fact, that the solid waste
department would like to extend the current contract by one year, utilizing
one of the allowed extensions. This will allow the department to bid a
“menu of services” and allow our elected officials time to determine the best
overall service level to offer our citizens. We are proposing 4 different
service packages, from very comprehensive services, to services which
cover basic needs. We are also discussing the volume allowances of specific
products. To consolidate the solid waste services, the department is also
requesting to service the entire county, excluding Hephzibah and Blythe. We
propose making services available to those cities on an all or none basis. The
department is suggesting that we reduce services as it relates to both yard
waste and bulk waste. We are proposing that yard waste must be
containerized in kraft paper bags or resident supplied cans. Further, we are
suggesting that bulk waste items be on a call-in basis. Additionally, we
Cover Memo
request that tires be handled through a tire drop off event, quarterly. The
department also wants to put some control in the hands of the citizens when
it comes to their trash bill. By offering discounts for smaller cans, and
additional fees for additional cans, we would encourage recycling and
reduce the amounts of materials received. Exemptions have been a
historically difficult item to manage. We are recommending that we add one
basic exemption. It would allow for an exemption if a properties utility
usage was below a predetermined level to allow for home sales, security and
renovations. This would complement the other exemptions already in place.
The fee system needs to be addressed. Currently there are about 25% of our
customers being charged millage plus a fee, and 75% of our customers being
charged fees only. We believe that changing everybody to a fee only system
is the most equitable system. We also are recommending that all parcels pay
a service fee. This would allow for the removal of bulk waste from the
properties.
Financial Impact:None at this time.
Alternatives:1. Approve the recommended motions within the presentation “Solid Waste
Disposal Contract, Recommendations for 2011” 2. Do not approve.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting
8/9/2010 12:55 PM
Approve the recommended motions within the presentation “The CNG Plan, Strategy 2012”.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the recommended motions within the presentation “The CNG Plan,
Strategy 2012”.
Background:In 2009 the EPD recommended that Augusta be designated as a
nonattainment area for ozone. Augusta is barely in compliance with the
current ground-level ozone standard of 75 parts per billion. Ozone is created
when exhaust from vehicles, power plants, industry and other sources react
in the presence of sunlight and high temperatures. Nonattainment decisions
are based on three years of data. If Augusta becomes a nonattainment area, it
could mean restrictions on industrial permitting, and have impacts on
transportation funding. Augusta has created the Early Action Compact,
which is the first plan in the state to attempt to address the sources of
pollution in Augusta. This document works to outline areas where local
efforts to limit pollution can have an effect on the nonattainment decision.
The solid waste department has a contract for solid waste collection
services. This contract serves approximately 60,000 homes in Augusta. This
contract is currently serviced by diesel vehicles which not only contributes
to higher overall operating costs, but also contributes significantly to the
area ozone levels. With the expiration of this contract coming due, Augusta
could require conversion of the garbage trucks to compressed natural gas
(CNG) as part of our effort to maintain compliance and ultimately lower
operating costs.
Analysis:Should Augusta become designated as a nonattainment area, there are
consequences. They can include impacts on economic development, as
industries would be subject to more stringent permits. Nonattainment will
also affect our citizens. Emission controls could be required on all vehicles,
which would require an annual inspection and it typically creates a
permanent outdoor burn ban. Local governments will also be affected. This
could impact how we generate traffic patterns, get funding for transportation
as well as require us to generate solutions to reduce emissions within our
community. All of which cost money. Augusta has an opportunity to reduce
emissions created on its solid waste collection contract. By requiring the
solid waste fleets to operate on CNG, we will assist in creating a positive for
Augusta. We are proposing to require all solid waste contract vehicles to
operate on CNG. Augusta would build and make available a CNG facility
for its contractors, government entities, as well as private industry. The
benefits of CNG are numerous. CNG produces less N0x (smog). It also
produces 90% less particulate matter (soot). CNG is readily available in the
USA. Currently 98% of all natural gas is generated in the US. Overall,
pricing of natural gas has been lower than diesel. This provides a long term
savings for those operating on natural gas. When looking forward at futures
Cover Memo
pricing, diesel continues to be a more expensive fuel. Overall, CNG is
cleaner, cheaper, and domestically available.
Financial Impact:There is no financial impact at this time. However, looking forward, there
are many options and strategies that could be employed to achieve this goal.
If the solid waste department was going to self fund this project, it would
recommend bonding the project. The project cost is likely to be under 2
million dollars. However, if Augusta did not want any out of pocket monies
there are companies that will build the station and include the station cost
into the cost per gallon for fuel. In the proposal, station costs were projected
at $.66 cents per gallon equivalent. Even with this cost included, currently a
diesel gallon equivalent of CNG is still $.59 cents per gallon less expensive.
Therefore, there is a financial incentive to go to CNG.

Augusta and Nonattainment
•In 2009, EPD recommended Augusta be designated as a “nonattainment”
area for ozone.
•Augusta is barely in compliance with the current ground-level ozone
standard of 75 ppb.
•Ozone is created when exhaust from vehicles, power plants, industry, and
other sources react in the presence of sunlight and high temps.
•Nonattainment decisions are based on three years of data.
•Nonattainment means that restrictions could be placed on industrial
permitting and transportation funding.
•Augusta’s Early Action Compact is the first plan in the state to attempt to
address the sources of pollution in Augusta.
•Local efforts to limit pollution can have an effect on the nonattainment
decision.
8/3/2010 2
Effects of Nonattainment
•Being designated as a nonattainment area would
effect:
–Economic development –industries would be subject to
more stringent permits
–Citizens –emission controls could be required on all
vehicles, outdoor burn ban
–Local Government & School Systems –additional
expense of retrofitting buses, traffic patterns would
change
8/3/2010 3
The Concept
•Require all solid waste contract vehicles to operate on alternative fuels.
•Build a CNG fueling station on government property.
•Make the facility available to other government entities as well as
private industry.
•Design the system to allow for satellite locations using tube trailers.
•Contract out the operations and maintenance of the station to a
specialist.
•Reinvest proceeds generated from the CNG sales back into County
owned assets and infrastructure.
8/3/2010 4
Why CNG for Trash Trucks?
•Captive audience provides a capital replacement program.
•Haulers using Augusta CNG will pay back the capital cost of the
program.
•The solid waste industry has extensive knowledge of alternative fuels.
•The waste industry has additional demand opportunity.
•CNG is projected to be a lower cost fuel over the next contract period.
•A CNG program offers Augusta additional contract options to facilitate
managing long term contract costs.
•CNG is better for the environment.
•CNG pushes the solid waste collection program to the next level.
