Department:Engineering
Presenter:
Caption:Approve and receive as information the maintenance and
monitoring services for the new Traffic Engineering ITS
network in the amount of $75,000 funded thru SPLOST VI. Also
receive as information GTS Solutions providing the required
emergency services as determined by the Augusta Engineering
Department (AED).
Background:The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Project is currently
under construction by the AED. This project, when complete,
will connect numerous traffic engineering devices together
utilizing fiber optics and high speed communications in one
cohesive network.
Analysis:During the design and implementation of this project, no
consideration was given to how to maintain and secure the
network after it had been completed. The Traffic Engineering
network is not complete, but it is far enough along to need
immediate monitoring and ongoing maintenance. This
emergency procurement will provide the Augusta Engineering
Department with a highly qualified contractor to protect the
network from outside intrusion, as well as allow him to monitor
and maintain the network hardware and software systems.
Financial Impact:The cost to provide the network monitoring and security services
is $14,640 per month for a period of 5 months for a total of
approximately $75,000 and all costs are funded thru SPLOST VI
account number 328-041110-52.12999/212828104-52.12999.

Augusta Utilities Department – 15th Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project
Project Location & Background
The proposed route for the sewer will generally follow the existing sanitary sewer alignment starting in the
vicinity of the equalization basin and continuing north for approximately 3,000 linear feet to Range Road.
The sewer then continues north along Range Road for approximately another 2,000 linear feet and finally
along the east side of 15th Street for approximately 4,000 linear feet to the intersection of Lane Avenue.
We assume that the new sewer will be located along the west side of 15th Street.
30% Preliminary Plans
▪ Using the field surveyed basemap, WRTE will develop 30% Preliminary Construction Plans.
Preliminary Plans will include plan and profile and will be established for alignment verification.
▪ Specific attention will be directed to the tie-in- location, the road crossings, the coordination of
future road improvements along 15th Street, and utility coordination.
▪ WRTE will initiate coordination with Fort Gordon DPW for proposed improvements along Range
Road and 15th Street.
▪ WRTE will prepare a hydraulic model for confirming system flows and evaluating pipe size
alternatives.
▪ WRTE will prepare an opinion of probable construction cost.
▪ WRTE will distribute digital copies of 30% plans to utility companies for review. WRTE will schedule
a review meeting with utilities to review alignment proximity to other lines/structures.
▪ WRTE will facilitate a 30% Project Team Review Meeting.
Easement Maps
▪ WRTE assumes that all proposed improvements will be located on Fort Gordon and will not require
the preparation of separate easement maps. We will show project limits on the construction plans
to define allowable work space for the contractors.
Geotechnical Investigations
▪ Following the completion of 30% Preliminary Plans, WRTE will identify project areas with
potentially deep excavation (greater than 10’). We will then discuss the need for soil borings to
classify the soil and determine water table.
▪ Should any geotechnical investigations be necessary we will submit a separate proposal for these
services. At this time we have budgeted a $10,000 allowance.
▪ WRTE proposes to utilize Soil and Materials Engineers, Inc (S&ME).
Environmental Documentation/Studies
• WRTE has contacted Kristi Hagood and requested any information on environmentally sensitive
areas within proximity of the project. We will show these areas on our mapping as provided by
Fort Gordon.
• WRTE will continue to coordinate submittals with Kristi Hagood for NEPA document as prepared by
others.
• WRTE does not anticipate any additional environmental tasks/studies/permits.
60% Preliminary Plans
▪ Based on comments received from the 30% review meeting and utility coordination efforts, WRTE
will complete 60% plans in a plan and profile format.
▪ During the 60% task WRTE will continue coordination with Fort Gordon DPW for proposed
improvements and road encroachments.
▪ WRTE will continue utility coordination efforts with utility companies.
▪ WRTE will prepare an opinion of probable construction cost.
▪ WRTE will facilitate a 60% Project Team Review Meeting.
90% Preliminary Plans
▪ Based on comments received from the 60% review meeting and utility coordination efforts, WRTE
will complete 90% plans in a plan and profile format.
▪ WRTE will prepare draft Contract Documents and Technical Specifications.
▪ During the 90% task WRTE will complete Fort Gordon DPW coordination.
▪ WRTE will prepare Erosion, Sedimentation, and Pollution Control Plans. We anticipate a three-
phase (initial, intermediate, and final) erosion control plan format.
▪ WRTE will coordinate ES&PC design with DPW.
▪ WRTE will finalize utility coordination efforts with utility companies.
▪ WRTE will prepare an opinion of probable construction cost.
▪ WRTE will facilitate a 90% Project Team Review Meeting.
100% Final Construction Drawings
▪ WRTE will prepare a final deliverable for construction based on comments received during the 90%
Plan review.
▪ Final plans will include all project specific and AUD details for construction.
▪ WRTE will prepare a final opinion of probable construction cost.
Pre-Construction Services
▪ WRTE will assist AUD with bidding and advertising.
▪ WRTE will attend one (1) pre-bid meeting and will respond to contractor requests for information
(RFI).
▪ WRTE will issue addenda as necessary prior to bid.
▪ WRTE will attend a bid opening, will review bids for general compliance and responsiveness.

Caption:Approve proposal from Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc.
(GMC) to provide engineering services for Utilities
Department’s Fort Gordon Cross Basin Lift Station and Force
Main project in the amount of $344,000.
Background:Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) is the contracted water,
sanitary sewer, and irrigation utility provider for Fort Gordon.
Fort Gordon is undergoing a post-wide transformation with new
construction and renovation programs as the Cyber Center of
Excellence. One impact of the Fort Gordon’s growth is the
increase in wastewater flow in the AUD managed sanitary sewer
collection system. AUD plans to accommodate the increase by
rerouting more Fort Gordon wastewater flow to AUD’s Butler
Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor utilizing the Cross Basin Lift
Station and Force Main. The cost for GMC to provide
engineering services will be recovered within AUD’s project
budget paid by Fort Gordon.
Analysis:Based upon their qualifications as preapproved consultants
under RFQ #18-132 Engineering Consultant Services for
Utilities, the Utilities Department recommends contracting with
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc. to perform engineering
services for the Fort Gordon Cross Basin Lift Station and Force

Avenue Water Treatment Plant to Tencarva in the amount of
$51,845.00.
Background:The Highland Avenue Water Treatment Plant includes a system
to generate a sodium hypochlorite solution for use in water
disinfection. The primary material used in the generation
process is rock salt. We have experienced situations when the
delivery of this material is unpredictable due to severe weather
events. We are installing a secondary disinfection system using
a higher concentration of sodium hypochlorite that we can
purchase in bulk. We would prefer to use the same type of
chemical feed equipment that is in use in other parts of our
system. The feed pumps are Verderflex pumps and the sole
supplier for these pumps in Georgia is Tencarva Machinery.
The manufacturer has confirmed that Tencarva is the sole source
supplier of their equipment to municipalities in Georgia.
Analysis:is the only vendor allowed to sell Verderflex pumps in Georgia
to water utilities. We have multiple installations of these pumps
in our water treatment system and we would like to use the same
pumps in this new application. This will provide efficiencies due
to familiarity of the equipment by both operations and
maintenance personnel, uniformity of spare parts and
interchangeability within our system.
Financial Impact:$51,845.00 From Budgeted Funds
Alternatives:None Recommended
Recommendation:Approve the sole source procurement of a Verderflex chemical
feed system from Tencarva Machinery at a cost of $51,845.00.

Augusta Engineering Department
Stormwater Utility Fee–Delinquencies and Collections
Legal Authority:
Stormwater Management Ordinance Section 5-1-18: Stormwater Services fee charge shall be declared
delinquent if not paid within sixty (60) days of the date of billing. Delinquency occurs when a full payment is
not made by the due date.
Unpaid Fee Collection Policy and Process:
A) Augusta Engineering Department Policy:
If full payment is not received by the end of December of the current year, the unpaid balance will be certified
by the Augusta Engineering Department (AED) and Finance and Administration Division, and record
forwarded to the AED or AUD (Augusta Utilities Department) contracted collection agency for follow-up and
additional collections efforts. For example: the 2017 stormwater utility fee must be paid by December 31,
2017 in order to avoid collection agency action.
B) Augusta Engineering Department Process:
AED adopted a three steps process for collection of unpaid stormwater fee charges.
Step 1: Contact by Mail
This is the initial step in the Account Balance Due Recovery Process. AED Stormwater Services Group reviews
Delinquent Account Report as a part of their oversight. Review efforts routinely begin after an account has
become 90 days delinquent. The customer is contacted by US Mail. An account-specific letter is generated
with the intent to initiate dialogue with the account holder, answer any questions about user fee or the
stormwater management program, and to see if AED can assist clearing the balance due and moving forward.
Step 2: Contact by AED Stormwater Services Group
This is an intermediate step in the Account Balance Due Recovery Process . Stormwater Services Group
reviews the High-level Delinquent Account list (defined as accounts that have balances exceeding $1,000) and
a Detailed Delinquent Report is generated as a part of their oversight. Collection efforts begin after 90 days of
no response to Contact by Mail letter. Through available information within the city’s available databases (e.g.
billing software, tax assessors office, etc.), attempts are made to contact the customer. If the customer is
successfully contacted, attempts are made to address account holder concerns (if any) and collect the full
amount of the balance due or to obtain a payment agreement. If current information is not available for
successful contact of account holder, the account moves to Step 3.
Step 3: Contact by Contracted Collection Agency
This is final step in the Account Balance Due Recovery Process. This step is initiated after Steps 1 and 2 in the
process have been unsuccessful. If full payment is not received by the end of December of the current year,
the AED Stormwater Services Group reviews the High-level Delinquent Account list (defined as accounts that
have balances exceeding $1,000), the unpaid balance is certified by the Augusta Engineering Department
(AED) and Finance and Administration Division and record forwarded to on-contract collection agency for
follow-up and additional collection efforts. The unpaid account is flagged as a “Write-off” account and is reset
to “zero balance due” in the billing software for the next year.
Augusta also can exercise option to get judgement from the court against responsible party for recovery of
unpaid stormwater fee.
