Engineering Services Committee Meeting

East Central Georgia Regional Hospital, Water Operations and Lab Assistance
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve proposal for Augusta Utilities to provide Water
Operations and Lab Assistance to East Central Georgia Regional
Hospital at Gracewood (Gracewood).
Background:Gracewood currently operates on-site water and wastewater
systems, including a well system and wastewater treatment plant.
They will soon be decommissioning their wastewater plant and
sending their wastewater to our system for treatment. Gracewood
has also requested that we evaluate the possibility of providing
operational and lab support for their groundwater treatment
system.
Analysis:Because of the proximity of Gracewood to the Hicks Plant and our
Groundwater Treatment Plants, this support can easily be
incorporated into the operational rounds of the groundwater
plants. We propose providing the services outlined in the attached
proposal for a monthly fee of $1,067.
Financial Impact:We will realize new sewer revenue of approximately $14,000 per
month once Gracewood begins discharging. The fee of $1,067 per
month for water and lab assistance will be adequate to cover the
cost of this service.
Alternatives:The Commission could elect not to approve the attached proposal.
Recommendation:We recommend approval of the attached proposal, and authorize
execution of a contract with the State subject to approval of the
Administrator and City Attorney.

James Brown Boulevard Enhancement Grant
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director
Caption:Motion to approve a contract with the Georgia Department of
Transportation (GDOT) for the James Brown Blvd. Streetscape
Project as requested by AED-Traffic Engineering.
Background:The city of Augusta is the recipient of a $650,000 award from
GDOT under the federally-funded Transportation Enhancement
(TE) reimbursement program. The TE program funds community-
based projects that expand travel choices and enhance the
transportation experience by improving the cultural, historic,
aesthetic and environmental aspects of the surface transportation
system. The award represents a combination of TE funds awarded
for the Reynolds Street Depot Community Center, in the amount
of $450,000, and a separate award of $200,000 for the James
Brown Blvd. Streetscape project. At the request of the city, GDOT
approved the transfer of the funds for the depot project to the
streetscape project.
Analysis:The James Brown Blvd. Streetscape project includes aesthetic and
safety enhancements within the existing right-of-way from the
Reynolds Street intersection on the north to the Adams Street
intersection on the south (near Dyess Park). The Downtown
Development Authority is managing the project for the city. The
Cranston Engineering Group is preparing construction plans for
the project. Major elements of the project include demolition and
reconstruction of concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, installation
of handicapped curb cut ramps at intersections, installation of
street lights, street trees, trash receptacles and way-finding kiosks,
and upgrades to storm water drains and catch basins. The project
will not impact recent streetscape improvements made in the
vicinity of the new library and the Augusta Judicial Center and
John H. Ruffin, Jr. Courthouse.
Financial Impact:The 20% local match required for the project, $162,500, is in the
DDA Capital Fund Account #272-075510
Alternatives:1. Accept the grant award and allow project to move forward. 2.

Engineering Services Committee Meeting

Utilities Sole Source Purchase of Meters
Department:Utilities, Tom Wiedmeier, Director
Caption:Approve Utilities Sole Source Purchase of Meters from Clayton
County.
Background:Starting in 2003, AUD has been installing the same basic meters
and Electronic Radio Transmitters (ERT’s). We have replaced
virtually all of the 7,000 commercial meters and approximately
24,000 of the residential meters with the same Badger meters and
Itron ERT’s. We have also developed a meter maintenance
program to upkeep those meters. Badger Meter has been our
supplier for the past several years. We are in the process of putting
into place a plan to replace the remaining 30,000 manual read
meters in our system with ERT’s at the rate of 6,000 per year over
the next five years. The previous model of Itron ERT’s had some
technical issues and therefore, this month they will begin
replacing all affected ERT’s under warranty with the newest
technology, their 100W model. We began buying this version of
ERT in the past few months. Since this updated technology is very
new and therefore, still largely untested, we are not certain yet if
the newer version is free of the problems we experienced with the
previous model.We are currently down to a few hundred meters
and ERT’s in our warehouse and we have not issued a new meter
bid because we were hesitant to create a new 2-year bid for meters
and ERT’s while we were unsure of the reliability of the new
model of ERT’s.
Analysis:We have been advised of an opportunity to purchase a quantity of
new 1500 - 5/8” Badger meters, each with an electronic register,
from Clayton County, GA. Clayton County is no longer using
these meters and would like to sell them. This is an opportunity to
supply our need for meters at a discounted rate. They have quoted
us the unit selling prices as noted: Clayton County $75.00 Badger
Meter $99.00 United Utilities $120.00 Unit Savings $24.00 Each
This purchase would allow us a substantial savings, as well as
supply us with 5/8” meters for our ongoing residential meter
upgrade program and allow for standardization of the meters
within our water supply system. AUD believes this is a critical
decision that will affect the efficiency of our meter reading

process for years to come. That is why we felt uncomfortable
issuing another bid for two years that did not address exactly what
we need from our next meter distributor. We plan to develop a bid
that will take into account the present Itron radio read technology.
It will also consider the addition of a new radio read systems. The
two systems must be able to be effectively managed
simultaneously and with the same data logger, if at all possible.
AUD would like the time to set up Beta sites within our system to
actually put a sample of competitor’s products in the ground and
spend a few months performing analysis of the results of reading
both technologies simultaneously so we can properly create our
bid and evaluate the responses. This research will take a minimum
of six months. We are requesting Commission’s approval for the
purchase of these items from Clayton County in order to permit
standardization within our water supply system and for us to fulfill
the short-term needs of our customers. We urgently need to
replenish our warehouse supply of meters and do not have enough
meters in stock to last until a bid is prepared and approved.
Financial Impact:Total cost of the request for 1,500 meters is $112,500, at a savings
of $36,000 over the second lowest quote. Funds are available in
fund 506-04-3210-5315111.
Alternatives:None
Recommendation:We recommend that the Commission approve the purchase of
meters from Clayton County.
