(No recommendation from Engineering Services Committee April 27, 2021 - referred from May 4 Commission meeting) Background:A water line, dating back to the time the area was first developed, was discovered on the 3430 Dunnington Place parcel. Analysis:The water line runs down the middle of the parcel. It is in conflict with future development. Augusta also owns several easements near the parcel boundary. To avoid conflict, the water line can be rerouted to Augusta's other existing easements, with the additional rights granted, and this easement abandoned. Financial Impact:N/A Alternatives:Disapprove the Easement Abandonment and the Granting of Additional Rights to Existing Easements. Recommendation:Approve the Easement Abandonment and the Granting of Additional Rights to Existing Easements.

Background:The Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) purchased meters throughout 2019 and 2020 from Meter Bid #18-2018, which contained a one-year renewal option, which was exercised in 2020. That bid estimated that we would purchase $800,000 in meters over the original bid period. The bid period was extended in 2020, and therefore the original quantity of meters was estimated based on one year, but we actually purchased meters over a two-year period. Analysis:AUD ran out of meters and had to purchase a significant number of meters before it was discovered that the dollar value of meters ordered under the original bid had been exceeded. The meters were purchased at the same rate as the original bid and have already been ordered, shipped and most have been installed in the ground. Financial Impact:The additional funds required to meet the emergency need for more meters and pay for the meters ordered is an additional $280,000. Funds are available in 506000000-5315111. Alternatives:None Recommendation:Approve purchase of additional meters in excess of bid quantities so invoices can be paid.
