Augusta Utilities Master Plan
Department:Utilities
Caption:Consider approval of Augusta Utilities Master Plan proposal from
Constantine Engineering with a fee not to exceed $618,338.
Background:Earlier in 2011, the Commission authorized Utilities to negotiate
with the top rated firm from the qualifications based selection
process for a Master Planning consultant. We were unable to
come to terms with the top rated consultant, and subsequently
entered into negotiations with the second rated firm, Constantine
Engineering. This process has been coordinated with the
Procurement Department. We have developed a mutually
acceptable scope and fee for this effort.
Analysis:The last Utilities Master Plan was completed in 2004; much of the
work identified in that plan has been accomplished. There is work
remaining from that plan that was not completed due to lack of
funding, as well as new needs that have arisen since the 2004 plan
was developed. The Master Planning process will take a
comprehensive look at our system including projected growth,
service delivery, state of existing infrastructure, regulatory outlook
and energy management and conservation. The Constantine team
includes the local firm of ZEL Engineering, a firm with extensive
knowledge of Augusta’s system. Roughly half the work for this
plan will be performed by ZEL. The recently adopted Savannah-
Upper Ogeechee Regional Water Plan calls for all systems to
develop/update local system master plans on a 5-year cycle.
Financial Impact:The work will be performed on a Time and Materials basis not-to-
exceed $618,338. Funding is available in 507043490-
5212999/81100010-5212999.
Alternatives:The Commission could choose not to proceed with the Master
Plan.
Recommendation:We recommend approval of Constantine’s proposal with a not-to-
exceed fee of $618,338.Cover Memo

Future Water Demands
Potential for Future Water Demand Outside the Planning Area
Existing and Future Water Treatment and Storage Facilities
Site Availability for Expanded or New Facilities
Potential Environmental Impacts of Expanded or New Facilities
Capital and Operations/Maintenance Costs and Project Financing
Reliability and Redundancy
Implementation and Permitting Requirements
CONSULTANT shall evaluate issues that will affect the implementation of the alternatives and programs
including reliability and redundancy, financing, and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that the
recommended alternative ensures that continuous and uninterrupted water supply service is available.
CONSULTANT shall consider the effect that natural disasters and mechanical failure might have on
alternatives, as well as reserve capacity to meet peak or emergency demands.
Work Task 11—Potential Wastewater Treatment and Effluent and Biosolids Management
Alternatives
In Work Task 11, CONSULTANT shall identify, evaluate and develop wastewater collection, transmission,
treatment, and disposal alternatives for the CLIENT’s existing and potential future wastewater service areas.
The viability of available technologies will be evaluated and those alternatives that are applicable, technically
sound, cost-effective, and that will be acceptable to the public will be identified. CONSULTANT shall
develop specific wastewater collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal alternatives, as appropriate, to
meet the needs of the planning area for the duration of the planning period (Year 2032). Existing and
potential wastewater collections and transmission system rehabilitation, improvement, and expansion will be
evaluated to meet the current and future wastewater needs, as well as for reliability and redundancy. The
viability of available wastewater treatment and disposal technologies will be evaluated and those alternatives
that are applicable, technically sound, cost-effective, and that will be acceptable to the public will be
identified. Improvements and expansions to the wastewater systems will be developed and presented.
Individual alternatives may be organized into alternative wastewater management programs that the
CLIENT can implement in a phased process. Alternative or management programs that are deemed viable
for addressing the existing and future water system needs shall be evaluated.
Order-of-Magnitude Level opinions of estimated capital and non-capital costs (including engineering,
operations and maintenance, etc.) of the alternatives or wastewater management programs shall be
developed. The cost estimates shall be presented as 20-year present worth values.
The CONSULTANT shall evaluate the wastewater management programs to define a recommended program
for managing the CLIENT’s wastewater system needs. This evaluation will address the range of potential
capital and operation/maintenance costs, economic and environmental effects, and regulatory requirements
associated with implementation of the alternative management programs.
The programs will also be ranked and evaluated using other subjective criteria developed through the
workshop process. Evaluation criteria may include:
Facility siting, phasing, and environmental requirements
Site compatibility with surrounding land use for specific projects
Existing and Future Wastewater Collection System Capacity Availability
Future Wastewater Flows
Potential for Future Wastewater Flows from Outside the Planning Area
Existing and Future Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facilities
Site Availability for Expanded or New Facilities
Potential Environmental Impacts of Expanded or New Facilities

CONSULTANT shall evaluate issues that will affect the implementation of the alternatives and programs
including reliability and redundancy, financing, and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that the
recommended alternative ensures that the wastewater collection and transmission systems operate to
continuously convey wastewater flows without preventable SSOs and that the wastewater treatment facilities
operate without interruption. CONSULTANT shall consider the effect that natural disasters and mechanical
failure might have on alternatives, as well as capacity to meet peak or emergency flows.
Work Task 12—Recommended Water & Wastewater System Capital Improvement and
Implementation Program
In Work Task 12, CONSULTANT shall develop a recommended 20-year capital improvements program (CIP)
and implementation schedule for the water and wastewater improvement and expansion alternatives
developed in Work Tasks 10 and 11. The 20-Year CIP will be developed in 5 year implementation phase
increments. Design and construction phase requirements resulting from the recommended program will be
summarized, and their impact on the implementation schedule will be presented. The milestone schedule will
include an estimate of the construction duration of the major components of the recommended program and
of significant auxiliary activities, based on our experience with other comparable projects. An overall
schedule will be developed which will take advantage of construction and financial sequencing; will
accommodate local, state, and federal permitting requirements; and will allow an orderly startup of facilities
as construction contracts are completed. When possible, the schedule will be planned to take advantage of
favorable bidding conditions, such as time of year and timing compared to other major construction projects.
CONSULTANT shall coordinate the results of this evaluation with the contracted CLIENT’s Rate Study
Consultant.
Work Task 13—Workshops, Meetings, and Presentations
In Work Task 13 CONSULTANT shall include time for meetings, workshops, and presentations with the
CLIENT’s representatives, stakeholders and interested parties, representatives of FERC, the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources (EPD) and other regulatory
agencies, representatives of Fort Gordon, local residents, and business representatives. This task is intended
to allow the CLIENT and CONSULTANT to meet with potential stakeholders and others to solicit
information and data needed to complete the scope of services.
13.1 Initial Workshop

identify information and data needs; prepare a project schedule; to confirm project goals; to set evaluation
criteria for decision-making; and to establish lines of communication for the duration of the
planning/conceptual design activities. Alternative evaluation criteria such as site selections; costs;
compatibility with future land use; relative ease of implementation; regulatory constraints; water quality; and
overall potential for environmental impacts may also be reviewed.
