Subject:FW: Emergency Procurement of HVAC Units for W. T. Johnson
Importance:High
Mrs. Douse and Mr. Wimberly,
Ms. Sams has approved the Emergency Repair for W.T. Johnson Center - HVAC Replacement Units. Please
proceed. The estimated cost to remove, dispose and replace the current units is $116,973.00; therefore, an
Agenda Item will need to be entered into Muni-Agenda for Commission as information. In the Agenda Item, in
addition to purpose/cost of the emergency, state why the contractor was selected.
Sec. 1-10-57. Emergency procurement selection method.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the Procurement Director, Augusta, Georgia
Administrator or constitutional officer may make or authorize others to make emergency procurement of
equipment, supplies, services, general construction, or public works type construction services when there
exists a threat to public health, welfare, or safety, or where daily operations are affected; provided that such
emergency procurement shall be made with such competition as is practicable under the circumstances. As
soon as practicable, a record of each emergency procurement shall be made and shall set forth the contractor's
name, the amount and type of the contract, a listing of the item(s) procured under the contract, and the
identification number of the contract file. A written report explaining the determination of the basis for the
emergency and for the selection of the particular contractor shall be included in the contract file, and a copy of
same provided the Augusta, Georgia Commission at their next regular meeting in the case of public works
contracts as defined by Georgia Law or other Augusta, Georgia purchases when the value of the purchase
exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
In the event an emergency should arise after office hours or on holidays or weekends which requires immediate
action on the part of the using agency involved and where it is not possible or convenient to reach the
Procurement Director, constitutional officer, or Administrator, the using agency head is authorized to make
purchases. Such purchases shall be well documented, packaged for payment, and forwarded to the
Procurement Director within twenty-four (24) hours, if possible, after occurrence.
In the event the Board of Commissioners of Augusta, Georgia determines at an open meeting of which minutes
are recorded, that an emergency exists, and there is an immediate need for goods, materials or supplies to
relieve said emergency, the Board of Commissioners shall be allowed to approve purchases without bids in the
event the Board has determined an emergency exists, but all such declarations of emergency shall be in strict
accordance with applicable State law defining “emergency.” (1975 Ga. Laws p. 4334 as amended).
If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call or email me.

Subject: Emergency Procurement of HVAC Units for W. T. Johnson
Mrs. Sams,
In accordance with Procurement Policies and Procedures 2015 Sec. 1-10-57 concerning emergency
procurements, I render the following communication:
The status of three (3) 10 ton split HVAC systems at W. T. Johnson Center has been elevated to emergency
replacement. All three units was vandalized beyond repair and are being processed for replacement, however,
the heat index has cause their replacement to be an immediate need, especially since W. T. Johnson Center
also serves as a Cooling Station. In today’s climate, temperatures are known to reach well over 90 degrees
which will pose a health and safety risk to staff and patron alike. This center is used often and it’s operational
effectiveness is paramount. Augusta, Georgia will be responsible to purchase three (3) 10 ton split HVAC
systems and labor costs for replacement.
Central Services recommends Contract Management Inc. to remove, dispose and replace the current units at
an estimated cost of $116,973.00. Funds are available through CSD-FM Capital Outlay.
Your expedited approval of this procurement is greatly appreciated.

Caption:Receive as information an emergency replacement of three (3)
ten ton split HVAC units at W. T. Johnson Community Center
by Contract Management Inc., for a total of $116,973.00 funded
through capital allocated for the Central Services Department.
Background:All three units at W. T. Johnson community center were
vandalized beyond repair and need replacing. Efforts to acquire
bids was ongoing, however the rise in temperatures and the
recent operational changes to the center have escalated this
replacement to an emergency status. This center serves as a
cooling shelter and coupled with the heat index continual
temperature rise, makes this replacement an immediate need.
The center also has summer programs in place now and is being
denied us of the area covered by the damaged HVAC units.
Analysis:This work was done under an emergency condition that
warranted a timely response by CSD to minimize the time the
facility is out of service. CSD did not have sufficient time to
process another bid and place the facility in full service ahead of
the forecasted high heat weather conditions.

HCD - Down Payment Assistance Request
Department:HCD
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to provide funding to assist two
(2) low to moderate income homebuyers with down-payment
assistance to purchase a home.
Background:Augusta, GA’s (administered by HCD) Down Payment
Assistance Program is a loan, given to a prospective homeowner
in the form of a second mortgage. This financial assistance is
combined with a primary loan (first mortgage loan) from a
participating lending institution and enables a qualified first-time
home buyer to become a homeowner. The buyer must be a first-
time home buyer and the home must become the buyer’s
primary residence. The program is funded by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and
administered by Augusta, GA’s Housing and Community
Development Department (HCD). The program promotes
neighborhood stability by assisting with the gap financing
towards the purchase price and closing costs for homes located
within the limits of Augusta-Richmond County. Below are two
applications awaiting approval to move forward with the
homeownership process: 1. 4321 Woodvalley Place,
Augusta, GA 30906 $5000 2. 2606 Anacua Way,
Augusta, GA , 30906 $5000 The two applications
have a first mortgage from lending institutions but need down
payment assistance to complete the process. A prospective
homeowner is only eligible to receive up to $5,000 if they are
purchasing a single-family dwelling in the Richmond County
area. Once approved, Lenders will schedule closing and the
applicant will soon be on their way to homeownership in
Augusta – Richmond County.
Analysis:The approval of the applications (2) will enable two individuals
to become homeowners and “Make the American Dream a
Reality”. Approval will also have a positive impact on the
community by increasing the tax base in Augusta, Georgia.
Financial Impact:The City receives funding from the US Housing and Urban
Development Department (HUD) on an annual basis.
Alternatives:Do not approve HCDs Request.
Recommendation:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to provide funding to assist two
(2) low to moderate income homebuyers with down-payment
assistance to purchase a home.

Subject: RE: Emergency Procurement
Importance: High
Mrs. Douse,
Ms. Sams has approved the Emergency Repair for the Julian Smith Casino - Two (2) HVAC Compressors. Please

Commission…Information Only. In the Agenda Item, in addition to purpose/cost of the emergency, state why the
contractor was selected.
Sec. 1-10-57. Emergency procurement selection method.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the Procurement Director, Augusta, Georgia Administrator or
constitutional officer may make or authorize others to make emergency procurement of equipment, supplies, services,
general construction, or public works type construction services when there exists a threat to public health, welfare, or
safety, or where daily operations are affected; provided that such emergency procurement shall be made with such
competition as is practicable under the circumstances. As soon as practicable, a record of each emergency procurement
shall be made and shall set forth the contractor's name, the amount and type of the contract, a listing of the item(s) procured
under the contract, and the identification number of the contract file. A written report explaining the determination of the
basis for the emergency and for the selection of the particular contractor shall be included in the contract file, and a copy of
same provided the Augusta, Georgia Commission at their next regular meeting in the case of public works contracts as
defined by Georgia Law or other Augusta, Georgia purchases when the value of the purchase exceeds twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000).
In the event an emergency should arise after office hours or on holidays or weekends which requires immediate action on
the part of the using agency involved and where it is not possible or convenient to reach the Procurement Director,
constitutional officer, or Administrator, the using agency head is authorized to make purchases. Such purchases shall be
well documented, packaged for payment, and forwarded to the Procurement Director within twenty-four (24) hours, if
possible, after occurrence.
In the event the Board of Commissioners of Augusta, Georgia determines at an open meeting of which minutes are recorded,
that an emergency exists, and there is an immediate need for goods, materials or supplies to relieve said emergency, the
Board of Commissioners shall be allowed to approve purchases without bids in the event the Board has determined an
emergency exists, but all such declarations of emergency shall be in strict accordance with applicable State law defining
“emergency.” (1975 Ga. Laws p. 4334 as amended).
If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call or email me.

Subject: Emergency Procurement
Geri,
In accordance with Procurement Policies and Procedures 2015 Sec. 1-10-57 concerning emergency procurements, I
render the following communication:
The HVAC compressors (2) at the Julian Smith Casino are in need of emergency replacement. One unit suffered a
manufactures defect in which staff was working with the manufacturer directly for a replacement, the second unit
suffered a mechanical issue which now causes both units to be inoperable. In today’s climate, temperatures are known
to reach well over 90 degrees which will pose a health and safety risk to staff and patron alike. This center is used often
and it’s operational effectiveness is paramount. Augusta, Georgia will be responsible to purchase one compressor and
labor costs for replacement.
Central Services recommends TRANE Inc. to remove and dispose of the compressor at an estimated cost of
$45,000. Funds are available through CSD-FM Capital Outlay.
Your expedited approval of this procurement is greatly appreciated.
Takiyah

Augusta, Georgia Film Policy
1 | P a g e
Background
On June 20, 2017 the Augusta Commission declared Film Augusta, a division of the Augusta
Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, the official film liaison to the film industry for Augusta, GA.
Film Augusta provides assistance to film projects of various types including feature films,
commercials, music videos, documentaries and television series. Film Augusta, provides
location assistance, locates business resources needed for filming, connects productions with
local crew, provides other film related support services, and facilitates all communication with
government offices and departments of Augusta, Georgia.
As requests to film on city property have increased, there is a need for a streamlined process to
funnel these requests in a timely and effective fashion. This process designates the Central
Services Department as the point of contact to field all requests to film on city owned property
or in city right of ways. This process allows the City of Augusta to remain film friendly,
provide exceptional customer service to the film industry, and protects the city from any
liability related to filming.
Approval Process
All productions interested in filming or staging on City owned property or public right of ways
must register and complete all required forms through Film Augusta who will submit the
completed packet to the Central Services Director, as directed by the Administrator, for
processing and approval. If a production is requesting the use of City owned property or a
public right of way, Film Augusta will provide the production a ‘City Application to Film in
Augusta’ and a ‘Property Use Release and Indemnification Agreement’ for completion and
inclusion in their film request packet.
The fully completed request packets must be received by the Central Services Department a
minimum of five business days prior to filming to secure appropriate authorizations for use of a
public facility and/or public right of way.
• All approvals are issued on a first come, first serve basis and the logistical complexity of
the project may affect the time frame needed for approval.
• Approval or denial of an application for filming shall be provided to the applicant in
writing. Failure to receive a response does not signify approval or denial of the
application.
• Payment, executed authorizations, and certificate of insurance is required prior to production.
The Film Augusta Registration review process may include but not limit the following Augusta,
Georgia departments and offices:
• Administrator’s Office
• Central Services Department
• Finance Department – Risk Management Division
• Fire Department
• Richmond County Marshal’s Office
• Richmond County Sheriff’s Office
Augusta, Georgia Film Policy
2 | P a g e
Approval of a request to film or stage on Augusta, Georgia owned property or public right of
way does not circumvent any additional needed authorizations or documents set by other
agencies.
As needed, the Central Services Director will coordinate with or refer to the appropriate
Augusta, Georgia department or office impacted by the request to film application for review,
evaluation, investigation, and recommendation regarding approval or denial of the application.
The Central Services Director will coordinate with Film Augusta for any additional
information needed surrounding the nature of the film, distribution intentions, and/or other
pertinent data to determine final authorization. The Administrator’s signature is required on
the Property Use Release and Indemnification Agreement prior to approval of all productions
requesting to film or stage on City owned property or public right of ways.
Fees
Requests for filming in a public facility during normal business hours may require the
payment of usage fees, additional approvals and or security measures to be taken. Augusta,
Georgia welcomes film and video productions using City property, as long as the primary
responsibility to provide services and protection to the general public is not impaired and
provided that Augusta, Georgia is compensated for the time, labor and all other costs
associated with allowing the utilization of City owned property and facilities.
If Augusta, Georgia personnel is needed there will be additional costs associated with the
request. All additional costs will be determined prior to filming. The actual costs of such said
fees are determined on a case by case basis, dependent upon the facility, labor force needed
and security requirements. All fees are paid directly to the Finance Department.
