2019 - Utilities Construction Equipment - Bid #18-234A & ITB 18-305
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Presenter:Ron Crowden
Caption:The Utilities Department Construction and Maintenance
Division is requesting to replace one backhoe loader to Border
Equipment utilizing ITB #18-234A and lease two sewer vacuum
trucks to Environmental Products of Georgia utilizing ITB 18-
305.
Background:The Construction and Maintenance Division requests the
replacement of a 15-year-old Komatsu WB140-2N backhoe
loader. The backhoe was purchased in May 2004 and over its
operational life has accumulated 120 maintenance work orders at
a cost of over $52,000 in repairs. The age and extensive
maintenance cost has made this backhoe loader a liability to the
Division. The Division would like to lease two sewer vacuum
trucks under a 4 year contact. The normal life expectancy for
this type vehicle is 5 years due to the nature of its use. After 5
years a major retrofit is required due to the high maintenance
cost from normal use. The retrofit would take the truck out of
operation for 30 to 60 days for completion. Considering the high
expense to purchase, the high maintenance cost and the cost to
refurbish, the Division believes it is more economical and
operationally efficient to lease the sewer vacuum truck than
purchase it. The lease will be supported by a maintenance
contract.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published an invitation to bid
using the demand Star national electronic bid application for the
backhoe loader and the sewer vacuum truck with the following
results: Bid 18-234A: Backhoe Loader: 2018 Case 580NEP-

3CX – Low Country TCB: $79,216 (Pooler, GA); 2018 John

Sheet is enclosed. Recommendation is to award this item to
Border Equipment. Bid 18-305 Sewer Vacuum Truck: 2020
Vactor 2115i – Environmental Products of Georgia: $414,947.00
X 2 = $829,894.00 (Atlanta, GA); 2019 Vac-Con
VPD316HEN/1500 –Adams Equipment: $484,485.00 =
$968,970.00 (Austell, GA). Environmental Products of Georgia
annual lease payment: lease for the trucks is $169,789.49 (each
year for 4 years) and annual maintenance payments of $24,000
per year; annual total payment is $193,789.49. Tab sheet are
enclosed The lease end options are: (1) to purchase the truck for
$124,484.00 each or (2) allow the lease to expire with the
vendor paying the final payment of $248,968.00 balloon
payment, or renew another lease.
Financial Impact:The 2019 backhoe loader will be purchased using the Utilities
Capital Outlay (account: 506-04-3410/54.22510). The sewer
vacuum trucks leases will be paid through the Departments
enterprise operating funds. (506-04-3410/58.22110).

b) Enclosure/envelop upgrades to Roof & Walls. 2) The concept was initiated of relocating the Public Restrooms to the end of the BBQ Pit enclosure and
creating storage and a changing room, in the remainder of the space:

a) 2KM will look at creating a 5’x6’ enclosed room for Daryl’s office and Changing Room of similar size or larger in a portion of the existing Kitchen. 3) A roof leak from the tower area of the Casino has been reported. Daryl is to contact during the next rain for ARC & 2KM to review area leak & likely source. 4) Existing lighting fixtures will be re-lamped within the scope of work in large meeting multi-purpose room. c. Public Restrooms: 1) The quantity of toilets designed is based off the Occupancy of the BBQ Pit and need for additional facilities available to overall park site. a) The current plan is to utilize (2) restrooms at a time, keeping the other (2) locked, so maintenance can open the locked restroom in the event of one of the others needing to be serviced. All available for large events. b) Current location of the restrooms does not give
easy access to patrons of future events at the stadium prior to the events. i. R. Houck noted that restrooms as designed should remain and an “alternate” restroom facility would be provided at the stadium until events start inside the stadium. c) C. Jordan inquired about the Restroom Building expanding in the future if needed with current design. i. The ADA H/C ramp would need to be re-designed to accommodate expansion. ii. Several trees would need to be removed to reroute the ramp. iii. Could step down hillside ADA H/C at upper patio level. d) A covered connector between the BBQ Pit and the Restrooms would be desired (soft connection due to existing HVAC). e) 2KM explained the hardscape area between the BBQ Pit and Restroom building would be extended outdoor patio area for both facilities (gathering). i. ARC would like to see the North overhang of the Restroom Building expanded to provide more coverage when lines may form during events. Overhang will need to stay at least 10’-0” away from the BBQ Building for HVAC units. ii. The power line currently runs over the building and will need to be redirected for site pole lights. f) ARC would like to have quiet electric hand dryers (Dyson) installed in the Public Restrooms. d. Gazebo: 1) The power pole supplying the Gazebo power circuit

FY2018 HUD Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
Department:Housing & Community Development
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr., HCD Director
Caption:Receive as information the update from HCD that, per
requirements of the local HUD Citizen Participation Plan, HCD
will publish advertisement for a 15-day Public Comment and
submit the 2018 Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) report to HUD on or before the
March 31 deadline once comments are received with no return to
Commission.
Background:In order to fulfill statutory and regulatory requirements
mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development with regard to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan,
the City of Augusta is required to make available for public
comment the 2018 Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) which provides the jurisdiction an
opportunity to evaluate its overall progress in carrying out
priorities and specific objectives identified in its Consolidated
Plan and its 2018 Annual Action Plan. The 2018 Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
summarizes the results of activities that have taken place during
Program Year 2018. The performance report must include a
description of the resources made available, the investment of
available resources, the geographic distribution and location of
investments, the families and persons assisted (including the
racial and ethnic demographics of persons assisted), actions
taken to affirmatively further fair housing, and other actions
indicated in the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan. The
importance of timely and accurate performance reports cannot
be overstated. Performance reporting meets three basic purposes:
• Provides HUD with necessary information to meet its statutory
requirement to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant
CPD programs in compliance with all applicable rules and
regulations; • Provides information necessary for HUD's Annual
Report to Congress, also statutorily mandated; • Provides
grantees an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in
revitalizing deteriorated neighborhoods and meeting objectives
stipulated in their Consolidated Plan. Utilizing Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant
(ESG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA)
and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds; Augusta -
Richmond County, its sub-recipients and Partner Agencies
utilize the CAPER to substantiate progress in accomplishing the
goals outlined in this third year of the 2015-2019 5-Year
Consolidated Plan.
Analysis:The City received the following four (4) entitlement grants from
HUD during 2018: 1. Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) is a formula-based program designed to develop viable
urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable
living environment and expanding economic opportunities for
persons of low and moderate income. 2. Emergency Solutions
Grant (ESG) is a formula-based program targeted at improving
the lives and safety of persons who are homeless or at-risk of
becoming homeless. 3. HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) is a formula-based program designed to expand and
improve the supply of decent, safe and affordable housing and
access to homeownership for very low and low-income persons.
4. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
Program is a formula-based program designed to provide
housing and supportive services to low income persons living
with HIV/AIDS and their families. Within 90 days after the end
of their program year, state and local governments that receive
CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA funds directly from HUD
must ensure that all activity information in IDIS is up-to-date as
of the last day of the program year. This process is called end-
of-year reporting, fulfilling three purposes by the grantee: 1.
Meeting CAPER and program requirements. 2. Producing
accurate IDIS reports, some of which must be made available to
the public. 3. Ensuring that HUD will have the most current
information during its annual assessment of a grantee's
performance.
Financial Impact:No Financial Impact
Alternatives:None recommended.
Recommendation:Receive update on submission process for FY2018 CAPER as
information.

HCD’s Small Business Development Loan Program: Whipped Creamery
Department:Housing and Community Development Department
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to approve authorization of Housing and Community
Development Department’s (HCD's) agreement for a Small
Business Development Loan to Leibra Inc., dba Whipped
Creamery in the amount of $37,500.00 (at 4% Interest and an
84-Month Term).
Background:In the FY 2017 Annual Action Plan, funds were made available
to HCD to assist in building, developing and/or growing local
business capacity through the Small Business Development
Loan Program. To that end, after Technical Assistance
engagement and capacity building efforts from HCD’s Small
Business Development Loan Program staff, Leibra Inc. dba
Whipped Creamery’s loan application has met the conditions of
the Small Business Development Loan Program Review
Committee to be recommended for award of a Small Business
Development Loan in the amount of $37,500.00 (at 4% Interest
and an 84-Month Term). This loan funding will directly assist
Leibra Inc. dba Whipped Creamery with the purchase of
operating equipment, refrigerators, and renovations of the
Augusta Mall unit to serve as a whipped and frozen ice
cream/yogurt stand and will supply the company with monthly
operational cost for several months. Whipped Creamery is
currently a mall food court tenant housed (old Dairy Queen bay)
on the second floor of the Augusta Mall. Whipped Creamery
serves a wide variety of whipped ice cream specialties, hard
handed dipped ice cream, sundaes, soft served, yogurts,
smoothies, ices and gelatos. This business operates seven days a
week from 10a-10pm. In addition to the timely repayment of this
loan, Leibra Inc. will create one (1) FTE permanent job or two
(2) PT jobs in order to comply with the necessary national
objective of job creation (24 CFR §570.208(a)(4)). Leibra Inc.
agrees to be monitored on site annually and provide quarterly
financial and employment reports that will assist HCD in
ensuring that the created jobs are held by low to moderate
income employees.
Analysis:The approval of this agreement will allow HCD to proceed with
the financial lending transaction to Leibra, Inc. dba Whipped
Creamery, in accordance with the provisions of the Small
Business Development Loan Program process. This capital
infusion in a locally-owned small business will allow for the
creation of at least 1 FTE or 2 PTE employment positions for
low-moderate income persons in Augusta, GA.
Financial Impact:This action will expend funds under the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the FY 2017 Annual
Action Plan that were allocated for such purpose by Commission
approval in 2017.
Alternatives:Do not approve Small Business Development Loan Program
Agreement with Leibra, Inc. dba Whipped Creamery and
prevent Small Business Development Loan in the amount of
$37,500.00.
Recommendation:Motion to approve authorization of Housing and Community
Development Department’s (HCD's) agreement for a Small
Business Development Loan to Leibra Inc., dba Whipped
Creamery in the amount of $37,500.00 (at 4% Interest and an
84-Month Term).

Department:Housing and Community Development
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to enter into a professional
contract agreement with J&B Construction for concept design of
townhomes on the east side of James Brown Boulevard
(between Adams Street and Hopkins Street). (Referred from
February 26 Administrative Services Committee)
Background:In 2008, the Augusta Commission passed legislation supporting
community development in Laney Walker/Bethlehem. Since that
time, the Augusta Housing & Community Development
Department has developed a master plan and development
guidelines for the area, set up financial incentive programs for
developers and home buyers, selected a team of development
partners to focus on catalytic change, and created a marketing
strategy to promote the overall effort. This project site includes
eight (8) contiguous lots on the east side of James Brown
Boulevard between Adams Street and Hopkins Street. All these
lots are currently held by the Augusta, Georgia Land Bank
Authority. See attachment for lot locations. This contract
includes the conceptual site design of attached townhomes, with
building footprints, parking options and stormwater retention
options. It also includes graphics of elevations which may be
used for future promotion to interested developers and assist
with budgeting during pre-development. The contract is to a
Laney Walker/Bethlehem Procured Developer who will partner
with a local architect. J&B has successfully completed
construction with Housing and Community Development in the
past, has shown knowledge of the urban renewal process and can
provide the project with value added constructability expertise.
Attached: Contract with J&B Construction and Services, Inc.
for $6,600.00 (copy to form)
Analysis:The approval of the contract will allow for pre-development
activities on this site to begin.
Financial Impact:Laney Walker/Bethlehem Project Bond Funding is the source to
complete this activity. Once the concept design is complete,
HCD will move to formulate elevations/plans/specifications for
the purpose of moving towards solicitation of bid.
Alternatives:Do not approve HCDs Request.
Recommendation:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to enter into a professional
contract agreement with J&B Construction for concept design of
townhomes on the east side of James Brown Boulevard
(between Adams Street and Hopkins Street).

RFQ #18-169__Real Estate Brokerage Services for Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project
Department:Housing and Community Development
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Request Approval of RFQ Item 18-169 – Real Estate Brokerage
Services for the Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project
to Sherman and Hemstreet on behalf of Housing and
Community Development Department (HCD). (Referred from
February 26 Administrative Services Committee)
Background:Augusta, GA and the Augusta Housing and Community
Development Department (HCD) is continuing to leading an
urban transformation initiative called the Laney
Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project. As a part of this
project, many new homes are continuing to be developed in the
downtown area providing a new and innovative living
experience for people of all incomes. These homes will provide
housing for low to moderate/mixed income families/individuals,
and will include both single, multi-family and mixed used
developmental concepts. The purpose of this RFQ was to select
an established Georgia Licensed Broker Real Estate firm who
has an active Homes Division to market and sell the homes that
are built or renovated through this project. The selected firm
will become a partner on this project, work with the LW/B
procured developers, HCD staff, and various other partners. It is
also possible (through addendum) that this developer will be
asked to assist in commercial/retail efforts where (if)
permissible. The focus area is the Historic Laney
Walker/Bethlehem, which includes nine (9) nodes of
development. The RFQ states that the selected firm (Sherman
and Hemstreet) will sign a one year commitment, with four (4)
one year optional renewal periods at the option of Augusta,
GA.
Analysis:This approval would allow HCD to engage a licensed Georgia
Real Estate Brokerage Firm to successfully price, market and
sell property/assets in the Laney Walker/Bethlehem
Revitalization area.
Financial Impact:Laney Walker/Bethlehem Project Bond Funding is the source to
complete this partnership • A fee of 6% (of the gross sales) shall
be paid as a brokerage commission,
Alternatives:Do not approve HCD's Request
Recommendation:Request Approval of RFQ Item 18-169 – Real Estate Brokerage
Services for the Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project
to Sherman and Hemstreet on behalf of Housing and
Community Development Department (HCD).
