Award Contract for Chiller Replacement
Department:Recreation, Parks and Facilities
Caption:Approve contract in the amount of $116,115.00 to the low bidder
on the base bid, Gold Mech Services, to replace the air cooled
chiller at Diamond Lakes Community Center as outlined in RFB
15-138. This price includes the base bid only. Staff is working
with the contractor to develop a scope and pricing for appropriate
automation controls to present to the commission.
Background:RFB 15-138 was issued on February 2, 2015 to replace the
original chiller at Diamond Lakes Community Center. The chiller
serves both the Community Center and the Library. This unit has
been repaired numerous times and ultimately suffered a
catastrophic failure on February 26, 2015. Bids were received on
March 24, 2014. The award criteria set forth in the RFB
established that the contract would be awarded based upon the
lowest responsible and compliant bidder on the base bid. Two bids
were received and Gold Mech Services of Augusta was low on the
base bid.
Analysis:The existing chiller cannot be repaired. Replacement is the only
option.
Financial Impact:The base bid is $116,115.
Alternatives:1. Approve contract in the amount of $116,115.00 to the low
bidder on the base bid, Gold Mech Services, to replace the air
cooled chiller at Diamond Lakes Community Center as outlined in
RFB 15-138. 2. Do not approve.
Recommendation:Approve contract in the amount of $116,115.00 to the low bidder

Public Service Committee Meeting
4/28/2015 1:00 PM
Consider MB Campus Options
Department:Recreation Parks and Facilities - Facilities Management
Caption:Consider Options for Municipal Building Campus, particularly as
it relates to demolition of buildings being vacated.
Background:In December 2013 the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC)
approved demolition of the building which had housed the print
shop and some information Technology Department staff (the rear
portion of the Court of the Ordinary/Courthouse Annex), and the
building that the remainder of the IT staff currently uses (the
masonry structure with the metal building on top). The front
portion of the Courthouse Annex is roughly 82’ long by 30’ wide
and was constructed in the mid-1800s; HPC denied permission to
demolish this front section. (See HRC meeting minutes attached.)
The new IT building is nearing completion and staff will move in
beginning on or about April 30, 2015. The current IT location is
too close to the new building to conform to the requirements of
the current fire and life safety codes. Demolition of the IT
buildings is required in order to comply. Ideally, the demolition
would have been completed prior to the issuance of the Certificate
of Occupancy (CO) of the new IT facility. However, due to the
fact that we could not shut down IT operations until we had the
new facility ready, demolition prior to the move was not possible.
As it relates to the certificate of occupancy (CO) for the new
Information Technology (IT) building, the Planning &
Development Department will issue a temporary CO for what they
determine is a reasonable time period, not to exceed 90 days. A
final CO will be issued when all life safety and fire codes have
been satisfied. Turner Construction’s Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP) for the Municipal Building renovation includes $180,000
for demolition and removal of the current IT buildings in their
entirety. In order to salvage the area identified as historic (per the
decision of the HPC), it would be necessary to install bracing and
shoring to permit safe, selective demolition of a portion of the
Court of the Ordinary. The remaining structure would need to be
stabilized and secured as part of the work. These activities would
increase our demolition costs by $206,561. Other factors to
consider are that there is not a current identified use for the
structure that would remain, and Augusta would also need to
Cover Memo
Item # 5
provide appropriate ongoing maintenance to prevent further
deterioration. (Please note that because Turner is now completing
their contract work, Heery has recommended that we deduct the
demolition from Turner’s contract and that Augusta contract
directly with vendor to secure demolition services. We anticipate
that the increased costs for the selective demolition will still be the
same if we contract directly with that vendor.) A closely related
issue is that once the Planning and Development Department
relocates to the Municipal Building, their current offices in the
former Synagogue will remain vacant. There is no identified
future use for this building. The Commission should consider the
long term intentions for this building, including demolition, as
they look at future development of the Municipal Building
Campus and the services provided to the community.
Analysis:Thoughtful planning today is essential to responsible use of
taxpayer resources, both financial and historical. The Municipal
Building campus is and will be for the foreseeable future, the
center of operations for the Augusta-Richmond County
Government. The block bordered by Greene Street, Telfair Street,
5th Street, and 6th Street should be sufficient to meet the needs of
our citizens for many years. However, Augusta needs to consider
planning for the future use of this confined site. Current issues
which deserve discussion and consideration include: insufficient
parking on the current campus, historic structures, and space for
departments not included in the scope of the current renovation
project (Those departments include Engineering, Juvenile Court,
Public Defender, and the Law Dept.) Other factors that need to be
taken into account when determining the path forward are: 1. We
don’t have precise estimates on the costs associated with making
either of the historic buildings usable. We do know that neither
meets current code and it would be a costly proposition to make
required code changes, should Augusta choose to renovate them
for future use. 2. The final CO for the new IT building is
dependent on demolition of the current IT buildings. 3. There are
costs associated with retaining any remaining portion of the Court
of the Ordinary and the former synagogue. The estimated average
annual maintenance and utility costs for these structures would be
$10,000. If the Commission determines they do not wish to
commit that level of financial resources to retain vacant structures,
they could be mothballed in accordance with the Augusta
Ordinance which gives Augusta 6 months to determine what to do
with these structures.
Financial Impact:Funding in the amount of $661,000 is available for demolition on
the MB Campus ($180,000 in the GMP contract, and $481,000 in
remaining project accounts). It is estimated that complete or
selective demolition of the 3 vacated buildings can be
accomplished within this budget. The current amount under
Turner’s contract reflects a $180,000 estimate for base demolition
Cover Memo
Item # 5
of the two IT buildings. The additional cost to perform selective
demolition and stabilization of the Court of the Ordinary is
estimated at $206,561.00. We do not have a bid number on the
cost to demolish the former synagogue, but we believe the cost
would be in the range of $250,000 to $300,000 if it were bid as a
separate project, and less than that if it were added to a project
including the Court of the Ordinary and old IT building
demolition. In addition, should we decide not to move forward
with full demolition, we would incur the maintenance costs
described above.
Alternatives:1) The Augusta Commission can approve an increase in funding
of $206,561 and direct the contractor to proceed with selective
demolition immediately. That funding is available through savings
from changes in the scope of the Municipal Building Campus
project. The scope of the renovations to the buildings that house
the legal and engineering departments has been reduced. The total
campus project cost would not be increased. 2) The Augusta
Commission can determine that demolition of the vacated
structures is in the best interest of Augusta and direct the
Administrator to proceed with demolition procurement through
Turner's GMP contract. 3) The Augusta Commission can request
that the Historic Preservation Commission reconsider their denial
to demolish the entire Court of the Ordinary structure, and also
request to demolish the synagogue through the normal approval
process. The time required to go through the process for
reconsideration would likely delay demolition. 4) Determine
another path forward not detailed above, such as providing for an
exemption for municipal projects from Historic Preservation
codes.
Recommendation:Allocate the available funds to complete the demolition of the
