Airport Hotel/Bank Demolition Cost
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Caption:Request approval of the cost regarding the airport
Hotel/Bank Demolition.
Background:The Augusta Aviation Commission requested a cost for
demolition and redevelopment of the property where the
hotel and bank buildings are located. This was not included
in the original cost for the new terminal construction.

bank buildings on airport it was decided that the property
would be better utilized as additional parking for airport
customers which would increase revenue for the airport.
Financial Impact:$402,812.17 is the recommended cost for demolition and will
be funded 50% from customer facility fees and 50% from
Airport Capital Improvement Fund
Alternatives:Deny the request.
Recommendation:Accept the recommendation of the Augusta Aviation
Commission to approve the cost of the airport Hotel/Bank
Demolition.

Purchase Chiller for the Augusta Museum of History
Department:Administration
Caption:Approve expenditure of SPLOST funds for purchase of a
replacement chiller for the Augusta Museum of History.
Background:This purchase of the new, 90-ton chiller is consistent with
recommendations made to and approved by the Augusta
Commission at the February 6, 2007 Commission Meeting.
These recommendations were made following a professional
engineering assessment of the Museum’s HVAC systems.
The chiller is scheduled to be installed in June by a design-
build contractor, at the completion of ongoing procurement
of design-build services (proposals due on April 30th).
Purchase of the chiller has been planned in advance of the
design-build contract, to minimize the impact of the 6 to 8
week lag time expected between chiller purchase and
delivery. This action shifts the delivery lag period from
summer to spring, thereby reducing the risk of air
conditioning outages during the hottest months. It should
enable the chiller to be installed in June, shortly after the
Design-Builder contract is executed.
Analysis:Effective environmental control is crucial for museums, in
order to protect their valuable artifacts. The existing chiller is
in extremely poor condition and highly unreliable. Due to the
urgency of the matter, corrective measures are sought prior to
the summer of 2007. Following Heery’s engineering
assessment and subsequent procurement of a selected
Design/Build firm, corrective measures will commence. The
first and most critical step is the replacement of the existing
chiller, which is in jeopardy of completely failing at any
time. Following receipt and analysis of proposals, it is
recommended that the chiller be purchased Johnson
Controls-York, who supplied the low bid
Financial Impact:The cost of the chiller is $47,614.00.
Alternatives:1. Modify the Design-Build Services RFP to include
purchase of the chiller. 2. Do nothing.
Recommendation:Approve purchase of the chiller from the low bidder, Johnson
Controls-York. Alternative number 1 will not allow
corrective measures to be taken prior to the critical summer
months, and could well lead to serious mold and mildew
damage to both the Museum’s valuable artifacts and to the
facility itself. Alternative number 2 almost certainly will lead
to serious mold and mildew damage to both the Museum’s
valuable artifacts and to the facility itself.

Reimbursement for snacks - After School Programs
Department:Recreation and Parks - Tom F. Beck, Jr. Director
Caption:Motion to approve a budget amendment to allow for snacks
to be served in after school programs and reimbursed thru the
Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning - Bright
from the Start Program.
Background:The Recreation and Parks Dept. operates seven(7) after
school programs throughout the city to over 400 children,
and in the past snacks have not been included in the fee.
These grant funds thru the state will allow the department to
offer nutritional snacks to children between the ages of 5 -
12, and be reimbursed 65 cents per participant per day.
Analysis:The offering of healthy snacks to after school participants
will add value to the registration package, while being self
supportive financially for the city.
Financial Impact:Expenses for snacks will be $18,375 for 28,270 snacks for
the remainder of 2007, and the reimbursement will be
$18,375 thru the grant.
Alternatives:1. Not to approve, which would result in snacks not being
served to children in the programs. 2. To approve
Recommendation:#2 - to approve
