(RFP 17-124) Background:Augusta has elected to use Property Insurance Broker Services and carry commercial property insurance on its properties since consolidation. The Risk Management Office staff inspects all Augusta properties annually and works with insurance company engineers in helping to reduce risk of property loss to Augusta. Analysis:The evaluation committee is recommending Dawson & Taylor Insurance Company for Augusta Commercial Property Insurance Broker Service and the annual premium quote that was provided. Dawson & Taylor seeks annual quotes from the insurance market for “all risks” coverage on buildings and contents. Quotes are obtained from companies with A or better rating. Affiliated FM was the low bidder and is providing greater coverage for the exposure. Current coverage carries a $50,000 deductible per occurrence except for flood and earthquake. Financial Impact:A premium for blanket coverage is being offered on total property values of $765,000,000 for $367,200 with a $50,000 deductible. Alternatives:Drop coverage and retain risk, 2. Reduce premiums by only insuring those properties representing the largest losses should an event damage the structures (Municipal Building, Law Enforcement Center, Judicial Center, RCCI, etc.) Recommendation: Approve Dawson & Taylor as property insurance broker for property insurance coverage for 2017 to include this year’s annual premium in the amount of $367,200 which includes flood coverage. Effective date of coverage is March 1, 2017 through March 1, 2018. The contract for brokerage services is for 3 years with the option of two one (1) year renewals.

Service Area: Richmond County is a combination of both rural and urban areas. These funds will provide service to seniors and disabled persons that live outside of the ¾-quarter mile radius for ADA Paratransit Service as complimentary service to fixed route bus transit provided by APT and those persons who live in the urbanized area traveling to the rural areas in Richmond County. Currently, these population groups may have limited to no access to public transit for work, medical, shopping, workforce training and educational trips. This service will further improve mobility for persons living in Augusta Richmond County including further implement the Age Friendly program. Type of Service: FTA ALI Code: 641-0011.71.13 Purchase of Service (POS) Transportation operating Monday through Saturday: 6:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. FTA Section 5310 funds will provide an opportunity to add human service coordinated trips to the resources available to residents living in the urbanized portion of Augusta Richmond Co. outside of the ¾-quarter mile of fixed route bus service. APT assisted by ARTS will issue a solicitation for bids to procure vendor(s) to provide transportation services. APT anticipates with a budget of $62,500 for purchase of service for one-way trips from March 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018: · Weekly trips = 200 · TOTAL Trips: 3825 Average trip cost: $26.00 per trip FTA ALI Code: 641-0011.7L.00 Mobility Management / Augusta Public Transit Department will provide service in Richmond County, GA. including Mobility Management, scheduling and travel training. APT anticipates a budget of $37,500. Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to schedule trip 24 hours in advance. Scheduling calls received on Saturday will be handled through office voicemail. 2 Lower Savannah Council of Governments (LSCOG) Funding: Total = $187,500 1. #11236(FFY14) (Grant 39) = $62,500, #11237(FFY15) (Grant 40) = $62,500 and #11238(FFY16) (Grant 41) $62,500 – ARTS MPO total allocation = $187,500 including $150,000 in federal funds and local match totaling $37,500 provided by DHS for LSCOG to serve Aiken and Edgefield Counties, SC. Service Area: Aiken County is a combination of both rural and urban areas. Urban portions of Aiken and Edgefield Counties will be served by urban 5310 funds. The trip must originate in the urbanized portion of each county. The most common areas served include Aiken, North Augusta, Graniteville, Warrenville, Burnettown, Langley, Clearwater (the Midland Valley area). The 2010 Census added to the urbanized area 12.6 square miles right over the Aiken County border into Edgefield County, SC. This new area has 1,367 households and up to 23% of that, population may be eligible for 5310 trip requests based on age and disability. The “destination” service area will include all of the urbanized portion of Aiken and Edgefield Counties, as well as a small portion of Augusta for drop off at popular medical centers such as University Hospital, GRU, Doctor’s Hospital and the Augusta Public Transit hub for possible transfers to their public transportation service. Type of Service: FTA ALI Code: 641-0011.71.13 Purchase of Service (POS) Transportation operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. EST. Number of People Served FTA Section 5310 funding serves members of the public who are age 60+ and/or disabled. Mobility managers will perform the eligibility determination and help coordinate the trip requests with the service provider. LSCOG will issue a solicitation for bids to procure vendor(s) to provide transportation services. LSCOG recognizes that the total number of people served will be smaller than the anticipated number of trips; both because trips are counted as “one-way” and because some passengers will take multiple trips over the course of the program. Our experience in the past with 5310 funding when it was available for purchase of service from SCDOT, was that medical destinations were the most sought after trip request. Several persons also asked for consistent, reliable dialysis transportation since they did not have Medicaid as a resource. A commitment to dialysis, in particular, can truncate the number of persons served overall. LSCOG anticipates with a budget of $125,000 for purchase of service for one-way trips from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018: · 1,800 Wheelchair Trips · 3,160 Ambulatory Trips · TOTAL Trips: 4,960 Average trip length one-way is calculated at 12 miles. Avg. trip cost $25.20 Estimated Number of people served: 65 3 FTA ALI Code: 641-0011.7L.00 Mobility Management / Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm The mobility managers of Lower Savannah Aging, Disability & Transportation Resource Center (ADTRC) answer phone and web based inquiries regardless of origin. The majority of transit calls will be from residents of Aiken County served by the Best Friend Express fixed route and the Dial-a-Ride paratransit program. Section 5310 funds will provide an opportunity to add human service coordinated trips to the resources available to residents living in the urbanized portion of Aiken and Edgefield Counties. LSCOG anticipates the number of people served with the mobility management budget of $62,500 to be 300 with the average of 1600 calls over the 18-month contract period.

Finance Committee Meeting 2/14/2017 1:15 PM Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Program Department:Planning and Development Presenter:Melanie Wilson Caption:Request to approve submittal of funding proposal for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Persons to the Georgia Department of Human Services and Central Savannah River Area – Agency on Aging. Background:The Federal Transit Administration provides federal funds to the State of Georgia for coordinated human services transportation for the elderly and disabled persons. The Augusta Planning and Development Department (APDD) as the Augusta Regional Transportation Study - Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) serving the urbanized area of Augusta Richmond County, Georgia and Aiken Co., South Carolina. T he Lower Savannah Council of Government (LSCOG) is the direct recipient for these funds and operate Best Friends Express public transit service in Aiken Co. SC. The APDD collaborated with LSCOG and Augusta Public Transit Department (APT) to determine the best use of these funds. LSCOG will waive the use of $100,000, ($80,000 federal funds and $20,000 as state match) to the Augusta Public Transit Department to fund expanding coordinated human transportation service to residents in Richmond Co. LSCOG will retain $187,500 to provide coordinated human services transportation service in Aiken and Edgefield Counties in South Carolina. Refer to Attachment A – Service Proposal. The Augusta Public Transit Department will provide this transportation service in Augusta Richmond County and the Lower Savannah Council of Government (LSCOG), which operates Best Friends Express, will provide public transportation service in the urban area of Aiken and Edgefield Counties SC. This transit service will serve persons age 60+ and those with disabilities. Analysis:Without approval of this item, the Augusta Planning Development Department cannot proceed with submitting the funding proposal to receive federal and state funds designated to the ARTS MPO area by the FTA and State of Georgia. These funds would go to other cities and counties in Georgia, and a portion of the FTA funds would lapse. This will increase public transit services to the elderly and disabled persons in Richmond County and support implementation strategies for Augusta Age Friendly Program. Financial Impact:The State of Georgia will provide the state matching funds through the Department of Human Services and the Central Savannah River Area – Agency on Aging. The federal and state funds include the following: 1. #11226 (FFY13) (Grant 38) - Total funds =$100,000 - ARTS MPO allocation of $80,000 in federal funds and local match totaling $20,000 provided by DHS for Augusta Public Transit Dept. to provide service in Richmond Co. Mobility Management = $37,500 and Purchase of Service = $62,500. 2. #11236 (FFY14) (Grant 39) = $62,500, #11237 (FFY15) (Grant 40) = $62,500 and #11238 (FFY16) (Grant 41) $62,500 – ARTS MPO total allocation = $187,500 including $150,000 in federal funds and local match totaling $37,500 provided by DHS for LSCOG to serve Aiken and Edgefield Counties, SC. Mobility Management = $62,500 and Purchase of Service = $125,000. Alternatives:Approve request to submit funding proposal. There is no financial commitment needed by Augusta Richmond County.

George Walton Home), located at 1320 Independence Drive. The Augusta Commission approved a budget resolution and grant contract with DNR in July 2016. The project is being undertaken in partnership with the property owner, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Analysis:The contractor procurement process has been ongoing for the last 2-3 months, culminating with a recommendation from the selection committee to hire Landmark Preservation for the project. The selection committee was impressed with the firm’s proposed scope of work, the firm’s demonstrated experience on similar projects, the qualifications of the firm’s personnel and the proposed schedule for completing the work. The window repair work will be sensitive to the character of the building and in compliance with the applicable rehabilitation standards. Financial Impact:This is a reimbursable grant project. As a result, the city will make periodic payments to the contractor and then request reimbursement from DNR. The Georgia DAR chapter will provide the local cash match for the project. The Planning and Development Department will provide management and technical support on the project. The updated project budget is as follows: HPF Grant Amount $20,000.00 DAR Match $33,333.33 Planning Dept. (in-kind) 1,200.00 Total $54,533.33 Alternatives:None recommended Recommendation:Approve the award of a contract for the project to Landmark Preservation, LLC.

Background:Excess Workers Compensation coverage (a per occurrence policy) has been purchased in the past as a measure to cap any potential catastrophic loss against Augusta-Richmond County. Knowing that this area if the industry is still quite volatile and premiums continue to rise, Corvel, our Workers’ Compensation Third Party Administrator, was requested to obtain quotes from A or A+ companies. Corvel received the following quotes through their broker, Pritchard & Jerden: 1. Safety National Casualty Corporation – Incumbent a. Statutory Limit with $1,000,000 SIR to cover all positions for a deposit premium of $304,882 2. ACE/Chubb a. Statutory Limit with $1,000,000 SIR to cover all positions for a deposit premium of $437,850 3. XL Insurance a. Statutory Limit with $1,000,000 SIR to cover all positions for a deposit premium of $380,000 4. Prosight Specialty InsuranceStatutory Limit with $1,000,000 SIR to cover all positions for a deposit premium of $400,000 4. Analysis: Financial Impact:Augusta would assume all financial responsibility up to the SIR limit of $1,000,000 for all positions per occurrence. Alternatives:Drop coverage accepting full exposure/cost for any catastrophic job related injury. Recommendation: Approve coverage with Safety National Casualty – Incumbent with SIR of $1,000,000 for all positions with Statutory Limit for a deposit premium of $304,882.
