2015 - Augusta Regional Airport Request
Department:Finance Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Approve the request by the Executive Director of Augusta
Regional Airport for replacement of one older emergency
response vehicle to update the Augusta Regional Airport Fire
Department’s fleet. Approved by the Augusta Aviation
Commission on 26 March 2015.
Background:The Augusta Regional Airport Executive Director, Mr. Roy
Williams would like to replace an Augusta Aviation Fire
Department Expedition, an older emergency response vehicle,
asset number 205001, a 2005 model with 142,026 miles with a
new, more updated vehicle. The Aviation Commission approved
the replacement on March 26, 2015. These units are a crucial part
of the Fire Department’s emergency response group and need to
be highly reliable since they answer calls that may involve the
public’s safety. The new replacement vehicle would allow the
department to have a more reliable vehicle to respond to these
calls and also carry out their many daily activities more
efficiently.
Analysis:Fleet Management has requested to utilize the Georgia State bid
contract in order to purchase the requested vehicle. The Georgia
state bid contract number is SWC99999-SPD-ES40199373-004
and assures the best pricing throughout the state for this particular
type of vehicle.
Financial Impact:The emergency response vehicle will be purchased for
$33,946.71. Funding for the purchase of this vehicle will be
provided by the airport’s fire department’s capital outlay fund
utilizing the Georgia Municipal Association’s lease program for
36 months. The lease will require 3 annual payments of
$11,315.57 each
Alternatives:Approve the request or don't approve the request
Recommendation:: Approve the request for the replacement of one emergency
response vehicle for the Augusta Regional Airport Fire
Department and declare the replaced vehicle as surplus.

2015 - Sheriff's Vehicle Request
Department:Finance Department - Fleet Management Division
Caption:Approve the replacement of 27 Public Safety Vehicles for the
Sheriff’s Office Road Patrol Division, Traffic Division and
Sheriff's Administration for 2015. Bid 15-130.
Background:In December of 2008, Fleet Management submitted a request to
replace public safety vehicles as part of the 2011 Sales Tax
Referendum. This referendum was passed which will provide 1.5
million dollars for replacement vehicles for Public Safety each
year for 5 years. The items listed below are from funds available
for Phase VI of the Sales Tax – fourth year.
The initial plan of 2008 (when preparing the Sales Tax
Referendum) called for the replacement of approximately 42
patrol/pursuit vehicles per year, however with the production
curtailment of the Crown Victoria coupled with the increase in
pricing, the number of vehicles being requested has been
adjusted/reduced to meet the funds available through Phase VI
Sales Tax. The following vehicles are being requested for 2014;
1). Road Patrol Division – 21 pursuit vehicles (Dodge
Chargers) at $29,490.00 each or $619,290.00 total.
2). Traffic Division – 4 pursuit vehicles (Dodge Chargers) at
$29,820.00 each or $119,280.00
3). Sheriff Admistration – 2 Dodge Chargers (Admin Package) at
$ 25,917.00 or $50,688.00
A total of $789,258.
Other vehicles will be requested at a later date. Fleet
Management is in the process of submitting a request for bids to
obtain pricing. The deadline for ordering the Dodge Chargers was
release for the end of May.
Vehicles will be replaced on a one for one basis see attached
assessment sheet.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published a competitive bid using
the Demand Star application for the police pursuit vehicles
(Dodge Chargers) , Bid 15-130. Bids were received from three
venders; Akins Ford Corp, Butler Dodge and Thomson Chrysler.
Akins Ford Corp was the low bidder. See attached “tab sheet’s for
bid results. For the Patrol package, Akins Dodge was low bidder
at $29,490.00 each. For the Traffic package Akins Dodge was low
bid at $$29,820.00 each. For the Admin package, Aikens Dodge
was again the low bidder with $25,314.0000 each. Additional
vehicles will be requested once Fleet Management received
pricing.
Financial Impact:1). Road Patrol Division – 21 pursuit type vehicles (Dodge
Chargers) at $ 619,290; Traffic Division – 4 pursuit type vehicles
(Dodge Chargers) at $119,280.00 and 2 for Sheriff’s Admin at
$50,688.00. The total for the 3 divisions is $789,258.00.
Alternatives:1.) Approve the request, 2.) Approve the request in part 3.)
Disapprove the request.
Recommendation:Approve the request to purchase 27 public safety vehicles for the
Sheriff’s Office and declare the replacement vehicles excess and
available for auction.

Development Agreement with HIX Broad Street, LLC
Department:Finance / Administrator
Caption:Approve development agreement with HIX Broad Street, LLC in
the Downtown Tax Allocation District (TAD 4). (Referred from
April 14 Finance Committee)
Background:In 2013 the Augusta Commission creates the Downtown Tax
Allocation District (TAD 4) using the Redevelopment Powers
Law (O.C.G.A. 36-44-1). The purpose of a Tax Allocation
District is to offer economic incentives to enhance the
redevelopment within the district. This will be the first
redevelopment agreement in this TAD.
Analysis:The use of a TAD has allowed Augusta to offer economic
incentives funded by the incremental growth in the tax base of the
TAD. The Holiday Inn Express (HIX) is the first business to
redevelop a property in TAD 4. The attached development
agreement reimburses HIX Broad Street, LLC for its investment
in infrastructure redevelopment costs from the Special Fund as ad
valorem taxes are collected.
Financial Impact:Funds for the reimbursement of the redevelopment costs will
come from the incremental growth in TAD 4. No sales tax will be
used for the reimbursement of HIX Broad Street, LLC
redevelopment costs. The local sales taxes generated by the
Holiday Inn Express go to Augusta.
