15th Street Pedestrian Improvements Project-10-152- Contract Award
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering
Caption:Approve and award of the first three phases of the Design Consultant
Services Agreement to URS Corporation on the 15th Street Pedestrian
Improvements. The first three phases will include: Public Involvement in the
amount not to exceed $85,517.94; Concept Development in the amount of
$168,674.13; and Database Preparation in the amount of $119,317.14
($373,509.21 total) for the Capital Project Budget. Project to be funded from
SPLOST Phase VI as requested by AED.
Background:The 15th Street corridor between John C. Calhoun Expressway and Central
Avenue is one of the more heavily traveled routes in Augusta-Richmond
County, carrying approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. This corridor is the
primary route into the Augusta Medical District and experiences congestion
during peak periods of travel. With the current and
proposed expansions of institutions such as Georgia Health Sciences
University (formerly the Medical College of Georgia), Paine College and
the VA Hospital, pedestrian activity along and crossing this corridor has
significantly increased over the past few years and is expected to increase.
Moreover, this corridor lacks essential ADA facilities in most areas, which
provides a challenge for our disabled population wishing to access the
medical facilities and experiences a tremendous amount of “jay walking” on
a daily basis. In August 2010, Request for
Qualifications was released for qualified firms to provide design services
along the 15th Street corridor to improve pedestrian facilities and traffic
flow.
Analysis:The following firms were evaluated based on qualifications, project
approach, experience, and interviews in September 2010. The following
firms submitted RFQs and were evaluated: 1. LAI Engineering 2. LPA
Group 3. Pond and Company 4. QK4 5. W.R. Toole Engineers, Inc. 6. URS
Corporation URS Corporation was selected based on the evaluation
procedures used for this project.
Financial Impact:Funds are available in SPLOST Phase VI.
Alternatives:1) Approve and award of the first three phases of the Design Consultant
Services Agreement to URS Corporation on the 15th Street Pedestrian
Improvements. The first three phases will include: Public Involvement in the
amount not to exceed $85,517.94; Concept Development in the amount of
$168,674.13; and Database Preparation in the amount of $119,317.14
($373,509.21 total) for the Capital Project Budget. Project to be funded from
SPLOST Phase VI as requested by AED. 2) Do not approve.

Approve Change Order to the existing Design Contract for Fort Gordon - Two 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated Storage
Tank Project
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Motion to approve change order to the existing design contract in the
amount of $27,537.00 to Johnson, Laschober & Associates, P.C. (JLA) for
additional design work to relocate the proposed Elevated Tank.
Background:The privatization of utilities contract between Fort Gordon and Augusta
Richmond County was awarded September 2007. The requirement of the
contract includes executing the initial capital upgrades (ICU) of the water
and wastewater systems throughout the installation of Fort Gordon. One of
the initial capital upgrade projects is to provide a 1.0 Million Gallon
Elevated Storage Tank, Analysis on the existing system and Demo the
existing standpipe. The proposed site for Tank #1on 8th Avenue was
confirmed to be within a waste area (SWMU-46) and has been documented
to have ground contaminants. Presently, the site is under evaluation by GA
EPD. Consequently, a suitable alternate location for this tank site has been
determined by Fort Gordon for construction. In addition the analysis
concludes that the tanks will need an additional .250 MG to meet Fort
Gordon needs which will make both Tanks 1.25 MG each. This
modification will allow JLA to survey the new location and finalize the
design for construction.
Analysis:AUD evaluated JLA Change Order to the existing Design Contract for Fort
Gordon Two 1.0 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank Project. This
proposal is considered fair and reasonable to accomplish the project.
Financial Impact:The amount submitted for the design change order of this project was
$27,537.00. These funds are available from the following
account:507043410-5212115 / 88880072-5212115
Alternatives:1. Rejection of this change order would delay the existing design of the
project and the subsequent construction of the Fort Gordon - Two 1.0
Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tanks.
Recommendation:Recommend Commission approve change order to the existing design
contract to JLA in the amount of $27,537.00

I-20 Eastbound/Riverwatch Ramp 10-151-CSA Award
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering
Caption:Approve and award Design Consultant Services Agreement to LPA Group
for the Capital Project Budget in the amount of $245,878 for the initial
phases of the Riverwatch Parkway at I-20 Corridor Improvements Project to
be funded from SPLOST Phase VI as requested by AED.
Background:The Riverwatch Parkway corridor in the vicinity of Interstate 20 is one of
the more heavily traveled routes in Augusta-Richmond County, carrying
approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. This corridor is one of the primary
routes from West Augusta and Columbia County into the Augusta
Downtown and Medical District and experiences congestion during peak
periods of travel which can be attributed to several factors including lack of
left-turn capacity, lack of signal interconnectivity and unbalanced lane
utilization. The purpose of this project is to identify, analyze, model, and
design improvements along this corridor to improve traffic flow along the
corridor in accordance with Federal Highway Administration as well as the
Georgia Department of Transportation Plan Development Process
requirements. In August 2010, Request for Qualifications was released for
qualified firms to provide design services along the Riverwatch Parkway
corridor to improve the traffic Flow.
Analysis:The following firms were evaluated based on qualifications, project
approach, experience, and interviews in September 2010. The following
firms submitted RFQs and were evaluated: 1. Khafra Engineering
Consultants, Inc. 2. Kimley-Horn and Associates 3. LAI Engineering 4.
LPA Group 5. Pond and Company 6. QK4 7. Street Smarts 8. URS

Engineering Services Committee Meeting

Proposed Consent Agreement and Final Order
Department:Utilities
Caption:Consider Consent Agreement and Final Order from U.S.E.P.A.
Background:AUD currently uses gas chlorine at its groundwater treatment plants for
disinfection of treated water. The chlorine feed apparatus includes two
tanks manifolded together, with an automatic device that switches from the
in-use tank to a full tank when the in-use tank is empty. This apparatus
includes a standard vent system to vent small amounts of chlorine gas during
switchover of the tanks. Sometime during the morning of Sunday June 13,
2010, the switchover of tanks described above activated automatically at
Groundwater Plant 1 on Peach Orchard Road. The automatic device hung
open during the process, and chlorine gas continued to vent after the tanks
had switched. The release was at a slow rate over an extended period of
time, and was vented outside the building. Because of the slow rate of
release and venting to atmosphere, there was not a danger of a hazardous
accumulation of chlorine. At 11:32 that morning an operator trainee was
conducting rounds of the groundwater plants and detected a chemical odor.
He contacted the lead operator at the Hicks Plant, and the on-call mechanic
was called in. Once on-site, the mechanic recognized immediately what was
happening and stopped the release. The release was over the reportable
quantity defined by EPA of 10 lbs. The operator trainee had not yet received
AUD’s standard hazmat training, as at the time, this training was conducted
annually. The operator trainee was not aware of reporting requirements for
release of hazardous materials. He also was not aware of requirements that
releases be reported to the Local Emergency Planning Council. Once AUD
management was made aware of the incident, the release was reported
immediately. Maintenance records indicated that the malfunctioning
switchover device had been serviced seven months prior to the incident; the
manufacturer recommends annual preventive maintenance.
Analysis:The following steps have been taken to insure the safety of staff and public,
and that our response to potential future incidents is consistent with all
Federal and State regulations: • All operator trainees receive hazmat training
as soon as possible after hire. They are not allowed to conduct rounds of
remote treatment sites alone until this training is held. • All operations and
maintenance personnel have received refresher hazmat training, including
Federal and State reporting requirements. • Department policies and
procedures have been strengthened to insure that AUD’s management team
is notified of all potentially hazardous situations, especially outside of
normal working hours. Also, funds were budgeted in 2011 to change from
gas chlorine to sodium hypochlorite for disinfection at the three groundwater
plants. Sodium hypochlorite is a less hazardous disinfectant.
Cover Memo
Financial Impact:Potential fines for not adhering to the reporting requirements total $132,800.
EPA has proposed an adjusted penalty of $51,800, based on AUD’s
cooperation, and our willingness to recommend acceptance of the proposed
Consent Agreement. Funds are available in 506043530-5212123.
Alternatives:Commission could opt to contest the proposed Consent Agreement and ask
for a formal hearing, however EPA could then pursue the maximum
penalties of $132,800.
Recommendation:Commission could opt to contest the proposed Consent Agreement and ask
for a formal hearing, however EPA could then pursue the maximum
penalties of $132,800.

Purchase of additional wetland mitigation credits for AUD Fort Gordon Forcemain project.
Department:Augusta Utilities Department
Caption:Approve funding in the amount of $55,885.00 for the purchase of additional
wetland mitigation credits to offset wetland areas disturbed during the Fort
Gordon Forcemain Sanitary Sewer Connection project.
Background:The Fort Gordon Forcemain Sanitary Sewer is a sewer forcemain connecting
the fort to the Spirit Creek trunkline. This forcemain will serve
approximately 70% of the base flow and will complete the Municipal
Services Agreement connection contract signed in September 2006. The
sewer line will be constructed through a wetland area, requiring an
additional 11.97mitigation credits for the wetland impacts and 235mitigation
credits for stream impacts. These credits must be purchased prior to the
beginning of construction with proof of purchase presented to the US Army
Corps of Engineers. Phinizy Mitigation Bank was contacted to provide
wetland mitigation credits and Bath Branch Mitigation Bank was contacted
to provide stream credits.
Analysis:Both mitigation banks were contacted, and they have provided an invoice
for the purchase of wetland mitigation credits.
Financial Impact:The cost to purchase these credits is $55,885.00. These funds are available
from account 507043420/5212115- 80600040/5212115
Alternatives:The alternatives are: 1. Do not purchase the credits and place the project on
hold. 2. Proceed with the current plan to purchase credits from the respective
banks.
Recommendation:Approve funding in the amount of $55,885.00 for the purchase of wetland
mitigation credits to offset wetland and stream areas disturbed during the
Fort Gordon Forcemain Sanitary Sewer Connection project.
