2019 - Utilities Construction F-550
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management Division
Presenter:Ron Crowden
Caption:The Utilities-Construction Division requests the purchase of one
replacement Dome Style Service Truck. Gerald Jones Ford Bid
Item 18-304
Background:The Department is requesting to replace truck asset # F02059,
which is a 17 year old Ford F450 model with 124,927 miles and
88 documented work orders totaling $43,740. The vehicle was
initially purchased in 2002 for $41,054. The vehicle was
diagnosed with a failing transmission with a cost of $3,234 to
repair. Due to the excessive cost to continue to maintain it was
deemed uneconomically repairable and approved for disposal
Feb 2019. This loss of a vehicle will create a shortage in their
division fleet and negatively affect their ability to quickly
respond to job sites. This truck supports a Utilities maintenance
crew in the Construction Division. . The bid tab sheet for Bid
18-304: Dome Style Service Truck is attached for your review.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published a competitive bid using
the Demand Star application for a Dome Style Service Truck.
Invitations to bid were sent to fifteen vendors to include five
qualifying local vendors. Only two vendors responded with
offers, and one of the vendors was disqualified due to an
incomplete bid packet. The remaining vendor, Gerald Jones
Ford, from Augusta was able to offer the requested product with
necessary specifications. Bid 18-304: Truck Dome Style Utility:
2019 Ford F550 – Gerald Jones Ford: $70,456.00 (Augusta,
GA); 2019 Ford F550 – West Georgia Hydraulic:
$82,189.00/Disqualified (Dallas, GA)
Financial Impact:One (1) – 2019 Ford F550 Dome Style Service Truck @
$70,456.00 each. The total purchase is $70,456.00 for the
Utilities-Construction Division. The equipment will be
purchased with department enterprise funds (ACCT# 506-04-
3410/54.22210).
Alternatives:(1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request

Contract Amendment with Association Latina de Servicios of Del CSRA (ALAS)
Department:Housing and Community Development Department
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to Approve Amending Housing and Community
Development’s (HCD's) 2015 Public Facility Contract with
Association Latina de Servicios of Del CSRA (ALAS) to reflect
the change in scope of work from New Construction to
Acquisition. HCD will provide funding in the amount of up to
$140,000 to ALAS for the sole purpose of acquiring the site
location for the renovation of a low-income clinic. ALAS will
be responsible for renovating the building into a medical center
and parking lot to offer services to the low/moderate income
population of Augusta-Richmond County .
Background:Each year the Augusta, Georgia receives Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S.
Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). These
funds are used to fund agencies and projects to assist low-
income persons and revitalize low-income neighborhoods. The
Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department
annually solicits for proposals from agencies and develops
CDBG budgets which are incorporated into the City’s Annual
Action Plan and carried out through agreement with local
partners. On occasion, amendments to these agreements are
necessary to ensure that funds are expended in a timely and
effective manner. HCD, in partnership with ALAS, is requesting
this type of amendment to acquire and renovate a building into a
functioning medical facility. This project, originally Approved
in the FY2014 Annual Action Plan, was not able to solicit viable
market prices for the construction of a new facility as proposed
in the original scope of the project. Thus, in seeking to assist the
Partner Agency, ALAS, with meeting the growing need for
dedicated office space for their clinic activities, HCD proposed
shifting the Scope of the project to allocate the same financial
contribution for the purposes of acquiring an existing structure.
ALAS would then have the contractual responsibility to renovate
the acquired space into a functional clinic within a prescribed
timeframe to be stipulated in their final agreement. HCD is
requesting Approval to amend the existing contract agreement
with ALAS, originally executed in 2015, to reflect this revised
scope of work and related responsibilities that maintain the
integrity of the intent of the original agreement.
Analysis:Approval of the proposed contract amendment and related scope
of service will allow HCD to partner with ALAS in bringing this
concept of a low-income clinic to fruition. Approval of the
proposed contract amendment will also ensure the timely
expenditure of the funds currently obligated in the Agreement.
The City of Augusta has until 2021 to expend the funds
allocated to this project or these funds will be recaptured by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Financial Impact:The City receives CDBG funding from the US Housing and
Urban Development Department on an annual basis. In this
proposed amendment to the Agreement with ALAS, HCD has
leveraged up to $140,000 in FY2015 CDBG funding against a
match commitment of $260,000 from ALAS to cover acquisition
cost shortfall and address the total renovation and interior
upgrade of the property.
Alternatives:Do not approve HCD's contract amendment request.
Recommendation:Approve Amending Housing and Community Development’s
(HCD's) 2015 Public Facility Contract to reflect the change in
scope of work from New Construction to Acquisition.

Background:Augusta, GA and the Augusta Housing and Community
Development Department (HCD) is continuing to lead 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 partnership is for the Greater Arts
Council to contribute to the Laney Walker/Bethlehem
Revitalization enhancement of public spaces through the Golden
Blocks Project. The Golden Blocks Project is a creative
placemaking collaboration between the Greater Augusta Arts
Council, the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History, and
Augusta Housing & Community Development. The project
brings together artists with staff of the Museum, and funds
public art that they create together, based on the cultural and
historical heritage documentation housed in the Museum.The
goals for this work are to: Help give voice to the people who
have lived in the Laney Walker and Bethlehem (LWB) area and
publicly celebrate the cultural legacy of their
neighborhoods.Help people moving into the LWB area
understand the cultural legacy of the neighborhoods they are
moving into, so that they too will celebrate it.
Analysis:Approval of this agreement will enhance the Laney
Walker/Bethlehem area for years to come, give artists public
exposure, and further makes these hallowed historic areas tourist
attractions.
Financial Impact:Laney Walker/Bethlehem Project Bond Funding is the source to
complete this partnership: • The base cost of services is
$4,999.00 o Pay each of the four (4) artist $1,000.00 upon
completion of their public art installation/performance. o Pay the
Lucy Craft Museum $999.00 for the research and administrative
costs incurred in bringing the project to fruition.
