DR A F T 19 OF 36 REVISION DATE: June 2011 ATTACHMENT A – SCOPE OF SERVICES PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project involves providing Professional Engineering Services related to assisting Augusta Utilities Department (AUD), for Phase III of the Camp Hancock Outfall Rehabilitation project that is the implementation of the “Infrastructure Rehabilitation Plan for the Camp Hancock Basin - Sanitary Sewer Interceptor” (IRP) as prepared for the Augusta Utilities Department by W.K Dickson, Inc. (WKD) and dated 3/17/16 (See attached exhibit of the area). The Camp Hancock Basin is in a predominately residential area but also serves the Augusta Municipal Golf Course, the Augusta Aquatics Center, Aquinas High School, the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, and Trinity Hospital. The system consists of 140 mains, totaling 31,506 linear feet (LF), with diameters in the 18”, 21” & 24” size range and includes 140 manholes. The primary purpose of this project will be to develop Construction Documents that will allow AUD to Bid and Contract with a Contractor in order to facilitate rehabilitation measures as identified in the IRP and subsequent updates and discussions with AUD staff. Recently it has been determined that a proposed project to extend the runway at Daniel Field will also possibly have an impact on the Camp Hancock outfall. In response to this AUD has requested that this project evaluate the short- term rehabilitation and potential long term requirements concerning the outfall. This Contract, between AUD and CONSULTANT, will be for the third phase of the implementation and will consist of the following general activities: • CONSULTANT will collect new CCTV/PACP data in the immediate project area for the purpose of comparison and verification of rehabilitation recommendations. This will involve the use of sub consultants to perform site improvements for access in order to execute cleaning and CCTV activities, land surveying of key infrastructure route and determination of critical property boundaries within the project area. • CONSULTANT will prepare technical memorandum presenting a detailed alternatives analysis associated with impacts to the Camp Hancock outfall, and mitigation thereof, by the impending extensions of runway 5/23 at the Daniel Field Airport. Such analysis shall investigate relocation of the gravity sewer and pump station and force main alternatives. This memorandum deliverable shall also present: o Short term rehabilitation needs in order to ensure continued serviceability of the existing gravity sewer via trenchless technology (CIPP), dig and replace and rerouting options. There is at least one location known at this point that requires immediate attention. o Long term needs will consider the time horizon in which the construction of the proposed runway may be as many as ten years in the future. The mitigation of this may require the relocation of a portion of gravity sewer or DR A F T 20 OF 36 REVISION DATE: June 2011 introduction of a pump station and force main to maintain service. This technical memorandum will discuss potential mitigation alternatives and the general financial impacts to assist AUD to provide quantitative estimates to the airport for preliminary design purposes. • Develop rehabilitation construction documents which denote the required rehabilitation of each component within this portion of the system with sufficient detailing to aid in the execution of the rehabilitation. The area of focus will be the section of the outfall in the vicinity of the intersection of Damascus Road and Highland Avenue, near Augusta Municipal Golf Course (See attached sketch). It is anticipated at this time that the construction documents will only address the short-term recommendations consisting of relocation efforts around the cabinet shop, CIPP lining and spot repairs for the upstream section through the landfill area. The anticipated construction value of this section will be approximately $1,000,000.00. Should initial investigations determine a different solution then scope adjustments will be considered at that time. • Develop Contract documents and technical specifications to be used in the permit approval and Bidding process of Phase III outfall rehabilitation plan. • Assist in the bidding process, including Pre-Bid meetings, Bid Openings, Requests for information and clarifications, and issuance of recommendation of award and certified bid tabulation. • Construction Administration, including shop drawing review, periodic site visits, contractor pay request review, Final inspection and closeout. • Provide construction observation on a periodic basis for the rehabilitation process. These types of projects are more sensitive to being there onsite during the construction. The periodic presence of the engineer representative will help validate the contractor performance. SCOPE OF SERVICES: The CONSULTANT proposes to provide the following Scope of services for the fees listed under “Basis of Compensation”. Professional Services: Cleaning and Collection of CCTV Data There are sections of Camp Hancock trunk main in the immediate vicinity of this project for which no recent CCTV/PACP data exists. It is anticipated that 1,656 linear feet of outfall will be DR A F T 21 OF 36 REVISION DATE: June 2011 investigated. CONSULTANT will subcontract this service as an initial effort to conduct a condition assessment. The CONSULTANT will use the condition assessment to prepare technical memorandum for short- and long-term suggestions. It is anticipated that the OWNER will provide the necessary water supply for the cleaning process and disposal site for the solids from the cleaning without a fee. It is understood that some portions of this sewer pipeline are inaccessible for cleaning and evaluation. Therefore, this work also includes necessary site improvements and clearing to establish the access necessary for cleaning and evaluation activities. It is anticipated that the clearing operations will be performed by Bobcat grinder with bucket attachment and that there will be two loads of surge stone provided for temporary drainage issues. Survey and SUE Evaluations: CONSULTANT shall provide additional design, permitting, and construction services associated with the proposed rerouting and in place rehabilitation dictated by CCTV process. It is anticipated that the portion of outfall around the cabinet shop would be rerouted around and that the remaining upstream portion would be rehabilitated using CIPP and spot repairs. The project location and proposed limits of construction are outlined in the attached location map. CONSULTANT proposes to provide the following scope of services for the fees listed below under “COMPENSATION.” The modified services shall include: a.

This intersection funnels traffic from the major KJ or former BI-Lo's shopping center, the new Neighborhood Wall Mart shopping center, Jiffy Lube, Taco Bell, Waffle House, McDonalds, Dollar Tree, and a Sonic Drive in. 2)Windsor Spring Rd and Inverness Dr. after the widening of Windsor Spring Road this intersection which handles all the traffic from the South Hampton is now a life threating hazard. Analysis:Both of these intersections were tested and met the traffic standards for a full traffic signal light. The conditions at these two intersections will not improve with time. Actually, the danger grows with each passing day. We must provide funding. These critical safety issues have existed for too long without resolution leaving a majority of the South Augusta citizens at risk.
