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.

(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.

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.

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.
