Public Safety Committee Meeting
10/30/2006 3:30 PM
Approve Proposal for Building Commissioning Consulting Services for the Expansion of the
Webster Detention Center
Department:Richmond County Sheriff's Office, through CIPM
Caption:Approve proposal from Working Buildings for Building
Commissioning Consulting in conjunction with the
expansion of the Webster Detention Center.
Background:The expansion of the Webster Detention Center is presently
in the preliminary design stage of a $36M capital
improvement program which is expected to roughly double
the size of the existing facility. The Commissioning
Consultant will develop and oversee an extensive quality
assurance and testing program to govern the installation,
start-up and interactive operation of engineered building
systems, such as HVAC, fire alarm systems, security
systems, and electrical systems.
Analysis:The recommended firm was chosen by the Selection
Committee from a competitive process, via RFQ 06-139.
They are specialists in Building Commissioning and their fee
is within budget. Commissioning services are recommended
by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission
for all State building projects costing in excess of $2.5M.
The County is expected to benefit through improved
troubleshooting of systems during installation, start-up and
operation, resulting in lower energy and maintenance costs
over the life of the facility. A review of existing building
systems and operations, with recommendations for
improvements, will also be included.
Financial Impact:A fee of $328,420 is proposed. This County is expected to
realize cost savings well in excess of this amount, due to
decreased construction change orders and lower operation,
energy and maintenence costs.
Alternatives:1. Contract with the second place firm. 2. Re-advertise 3. Do
not utilize commissioning
Recommendation:Contract with Working Buildings, LLC, the top-rated
respondent to the RFQ. They are highly qualified, highly-
recommended by supplied references, and include significant
DBE participation.

Awarding of Bid Item #06-149
Department:Fire Department
Caption:Motion to award the contract for Bid Item 06-149, the
demolition and construction of Fire Station #6, to the low
bidder, the Vastec Group.
Background:The Fire Department and the City Procurement Department
have gone through the bid process for this project in
accordance with the City's bid process. After reviewing the
bids received, the Vastec Group was low bid with a bid of
$1,241,822.00.
Analysis:Steve Virgo, our architect for this project, has reviewed the
qualifications of Vastec Group, the low bid at $1,241,822.00,
for this project. Although this is a joint venture with Protech
Contractors Inc. out of Atlanta, Georgia, the break down of
their bid and contractors qualification statements appear to be
in order. Mr. Virgo does have concerns with the fact that
most of the Vastec Group’s experience is in site work and
have no experience in constructing a building. While this is a
concern for both the architect and the Fire Department,
neither the bid documents nor the city’s purchasing code
require experience as a determining factor in awarding this
contract.
Financial Impact:The funds for this project were allocated and are available in
the Fire Department's SPLOST Phase IV Fire Station
Construction and Renovation programs.
Alternatives:Consider the next lowest bid if this recommendation does not
meet with the Commission's approval.
Recommendation:
With reservations by the architectural firm and the Fire
Department, but in accordance to the City’s Purchasing
Codes, the recommendation is to proceed with the awarding
of this contract to the Vastec Group.

Recommendation for Awarding Bid #06-168
Department:Fire Department, Howard Willis, Chief
Caption:Recommendation to award Bid Item #06-168 for Firefighter
Protective Clothing to to NAFECO as the best bid.
Background:The Augusta Fire Department and the City Procurement
Department have completed the bid process for this item in
accordance to the City's bid process. After review of the
proposals, NAFECO provided the best bid.
Analysis:We have reviewed the bids submitted for the protective
clothing and have reached this decision. The two lower
bidders, Axis Fire Supply of and Fireline Inc., both failed to
provide the items requested in the bid specifications without
numerous exceptions. Axis had a total of seven exceptions to
the specifications. When researching the brand that they were
bidding we came upon several negative reports concerning
this brand and a judgment in a law suit concerning a
firefighter fatality resulting in a 2.8 million dollar settlement.
Fireline had thirteen exceptions to the specifications. We can
find no helpful information concerning this brand of
protective clothing and the thirteen exceptions to the
specifications makes their product non-compatible with
present inventories. NAFECO has met all specifications
without exceptions and the items bid are compatible with the
present inventory of protective clothing used by our
department. They have, in the past, been very reliable in
fulfilling contracts with the Fire Department and have stood
behind all warranties. Taking into consideration the safety of
our firefighters, the difference of only $15.74 per set of
protective clothing (pants & coat) it is our recommendation,
based on the information provided, to award Bid Item #06-
168 to NAFECO as the best bid.
Financial Impact:
Funding for this purchase is has been allocated in the Fire
Department's 2006 operating budget.
Alternatives:None at this time.
Recommendation:It is the recommendation of the Fire Department to award
Bid Item #06-168 to NAFECO as the best bid.

Wireless Communities Georgia Grant Program
Department:Information Technology
Caption:Approve the acceptance of funding from Governor Sonny
Perdue’s Wireless Communities Georgia Program and the
Memorandum of Understanding.
Background:On October 8, 2004 Information Technology began the
process of attempting to install a municipal wireless network
in Augusta. Vendors did not respond to the RFP, at that time,
due to the large capital investment required to implement a
project of this size. In the first quarter of 2006 a pilot project
was installed at the Augusta Commons. This pilot has been
very successful in attracting users and has been well received
by the public. Information Technology became aware of
potential funding that would be made available to cities that
could demonstrate an ability to build and operate a wireless
broadband network. In preparation for this opportunity
Information Technology reallocated sufficient funds within
the approved 2006 Capital Budget to cover the required
monetary 25% match. Once funds were secured, Information
Technology submitted a New Grant Proposal/Application
(see attached) to Finance for approval. After receiving
approval from Administration and Finance, the grant
application was submitted to the Georgia Technology
Authority for consideration. On October 4, 2006 Augusta
was awarded state funding in the amount of $562,500. This
funding level will allow the construction of a broadband
network with an estimated coverage area of five (5) square
miles.
Analysis:The installation of a ubiquitous wireless broadband network
in Augusta is needed to expand educational opportunities,
promote economic development, improve government
efficiencies and increase access to government services. The
program will be managed by the Georgia Technology
Authority and Information Technology. Augusta will work
with the Georgia Technology Authority to determine the best
business model that will provide long term sustainability
with minimal impact to the reoccurring operational expenses
of Augusta. Several models that are currently under
consideration are Full Government Ownership (Free Access),
Partial Government and Vendor/Service Provider Ownership
(Access Based on Fee Structure), Full Vendor/Service
Provider Owned System with Government as Anchor Tenant
(Access Based on a Fee structure/Free Low Speed Access for
All). The model of Full Vendor/Service Provider Owned
System with Government as Anchor Tenant (Access Based
on a Fee structure/Free Low Speed Access for All) has been
selected as the model of preference. However, Information
Technology will investigate the formation of a non-profit
organization or a joint venture ownership. Vendor and
partner selection will be made through the Request for
Proposal and/or Request for Qualifications process. All
vendors will be given the opportunity to participate in this
process. The Georgia Technology Authority has provided a
preliminary Memorandum of Understanding for approval.
Approval, at this stage, is essential due to the short time
frame this project is expected to be completed within. Any
modifications that change the intent or spirit of the
Memorandum of Understanding would be resubmitted for
evaluation.
Financial Impact:The funds are allocated in the 2006 approved Capital Budget.
On July 20, 2006 Finance verified the availability of funds
and approved the submission of Augusta’s Wireless Grant
request. A match of 25% or $140,625 has been dedicated to
this project along with in-kind contributions of $18,750.
Alternatives:N/A
