A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR A FIRST EXTENSION OF THE
DELEGATION OF LIMITED AUTHORITY TO THE AUGUSTA
AVIATION COMMISSION TO FINALLY APPROVE AUGUSTA
REGIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
CHANGE ORDERS (CONTRACT WITH MCKNIGHT CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY, INC., CONTRACT NO. _______)
Whereas, the Augusta Aviation Commission has been authorized by the Augusta-Richmond
County Commission to “take charge of Bush Field Airport” (now known as Augusta Regional
Airport) and “to take all steps necessary toward constructing, improving and repairing the Airport
now owned and to be owned by Augusta-Richmond County including the construction, alternation
and repair of airport buildings and the removal, lowering, marking and lighting of airport of
obstructions.” See Augusta Code Section 1-3-5; and
Whereas, the Augusta Aviation Commission is expressly authorized to “put into operation
facilities to raise additional revenue in connection with such airport; and such facilities may be
operated by the Augusta Aviation Commission or leased to responsible parties”; and
Whereas, any contract undertaken pursuant to Augusta Code Section 1-3-5 cannot exceed
one (1) year in duration without further approval of the Augusta-Richmond County Commission.
Now therefore, in light of the powers and authority referred to above and the desire of the
Augusta-Richmond County Commission and the Augusta Aviation Commission to decrease the
amount of time necessary to process change orders in the administration of the terminal
construction contract with McKnight, the Augusta-Richmond County Commission hereby grants
and the Augusta Aviation Commission expressly accepts final authority to consider and decide all
change order requests submitted by the contractor on this project provided that a copy of each
request shall be submitted to the Administrator for Augusta-Richmond County and further provided
that any individual change order request shall not propose an increase in the contract price in excess
of $50,000.00 and shall not exceed when considered in light of any previous request(s) the

accumulated value of $750,000.00 during any twelve month period, this second extension period
commencing January 1, 2008 and ending at the total completion of the New Terminal Project or no
later than December 31, 2008.
This delegation of authority shall also include authority to grant extensions of the contract
time.
Under authority of this Resolution when finally adopted by the Augusta Aviation
Commission and the Augusta-Richmond County Commission, all requests for change orders
meeting the criteria set forth herein shall not be submitted to the Augusta-Richmond County
Commission or its Committees.
The Augusta-Richmond County Commission reserves the rights to revoke this Resolution,
with or without cause and at any time; provided however, such revocation shall not take effect until
the Augusta-Richmond County Commission has given the Augusta Aviation Commission or the
Augusta Regional Airport Director’s office thirty (30) days written notice of the revocation of this
delegation of authority, said date to be calculated from the date of mailing or hand delivery by the
Clerk of the Augusta Commission of written notice revoking this delegation of authority.
