RFP 13-125 for Transit System Service & Support Service
Department:Augusta Public Transit
Caption:Motion to approve the award of the RFP for Transit System
Service and Support Services (RFP #13-125) to McDonald Transit
for a period of three (3) years.
Background:Augusta Public Transit was asked to prepare a RFP for the
possible continuation privatization of Transit System Services.
The RFP was opened on May 16, 2013 with five (5) potential
vendors. After Procurement’s review of their required
submissions, one (1) vendor was deemed as non-compliant due to
missing information, specifically, no addendum. Therefore, there
were four (4) remaining proposals. The evaluation committee
met on June 17, 2013, to evaluate the four (4) potential vendors on
their oral presentations.
Analysis:ON June 17, 2013, oral presentations were made by McDonald
Transit Associates, Inc, Veolia Transit, National Express and First
Transit. After listening to all presentations, the evaluation
committee rated each firm. The evaluation committee’s
recommendation is McDonald Transit.
Financial Impact:Based on McDonald’s cost proposal, it would be in the best
interest of Augusta to proceed with this award to them. According
to their cost proposal submitted Augusta, GA will realize a cost
savings over the three years. Further cost savings can possibly be
received during the final negotiations with McDonald Transit.
Alternatives:Keep Augusta Public Transit under total City control.
Recommendation:Approve the awarding of the proposal to McDonald Transit.

Public Service Committee Meeting
7/8/2013 12:50 PM
Transportation Investment Act of 2010 Project Agreement, Apron Rehabilitation Project, Augusta
Regional Airport
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Caption:Approve the contract for the Design and Rehab of Pavement on
the Air Carrier and General Aviation Aprons between the
Transportation Investment Act of 2010 (TSPLOST) and the
Augusta Regional Airport as approved by the Augusta Aviation
Commission at their May 30, 2013 meeting.
Background:The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has been
designated as the Program Manager for the Transportation
Investment Act of 2010 (TSPLOST). Therefore, GDOT will
administer the $8,400,400 grant awarded for the Apron
Rehabilitation Project at the Augusta Regional Airport. GDOT
will retian 1% of the grant for program management which will
leave $8,329,396 for project costs.
Analysis:The purpose of the Project is the rehabilitation of the existing
pavements associated with the Air Carrier and General Aviation
Aprons. The current pavements are in poor condition and in dire
need of repairs. This work is critical to the Airport as the
pavement could fail structurally and create an unsafe condition,
which would close the apron area until repairs are made.
Financial Impact:Project Funding: $8,329,396. This is a band 1 project. Any TIA
(TSPLOST) projects managed by the county are funded on a
reimbursement basis from the Georgia Department of
Transportation. The criteria for reimbursement include: 1. The
execution of Local Government Agreement between Georgia
Department of Transportation and Augusta. This agreement in
required to be executed prior to beginning of any work. 2. Project
band is currenlty funded. GaDOT has stated that if county
management is approved, counites could start a project earlier
than proposed, however reimbursement would not be available
until the band is funded. I.E. a band 3 project could be started in
band 1 timeframe, but reimbursement would not be provided until
band 3 is funded. Creating a potential delay in reimbursement of
up to 9 years. This would have a signigicant impact on the
Cover Memo
Item # 9
governments cash position. 3. TIA funds being available. If not
enough funds have been collected, Augusta would not receive
reimbursement when requested or if the funds have been disbursed
for other projects, reimbursement to Augusta would be delayed.
An extended delay in reimbursement could have a potential of
creating a significant cash flow problem for Augusta. Project costs
are based on 2011 dollars and actual project costs will be highter.
If funding levels do not increase to keep projects within budget,
project scope will be reduced. Any cost overruns would be
Augusta's resposibility.
Alternatives:Deny request.
Recommendation:Accept request to approve the TSPLOST Grant award for the
airport's Apron Rehabilitation Project.
