Caption:Approve an ordinance to correct a clerical error and amend
Augusta, Georgia Code Section 6-6-45 License to Operate
Arcades so as to define ‘Arcade’ as it was adopted by the
Augusta Commission on February 15, 2011, under Ordinance

Background:The Arcade Ordinance was amended on February 15, 2011 to
update the definition of ‘arcade’ to be consistent with a then

One of the code sections included in this amendment was the
Arcade Ordinance, however it did not include the correct
definition of arcade.

Augusta, GA 30904
(Hereinafter “the Council”)
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made on this ____ day of
______________, 2019, by and between the Commission and the Council for the
purpose of planning, executing and managing the installation of Gateway Sculptures.
WHEREAS, the Commission and the Council recognize the need that additional
effort be spent on the development and establishment of public art projects within the
geographic area of Augusta to engage in cultural enrichment activities, including
traditionally underserved areas; and
WHEREAS, the Commission and the Council desire to enter into this
Memorandum of Understanding in which the Parties will work together to create and
manage the procurement and installation of the Gateway Sculptures;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Memorandum is to provide the framework for the
understanding and cooperation between the Commission and the Council to plan,
create, develop, manage and establish the Gateway Sculptures. The Gateway
Sculptures will elevate the arts in the community and support economic development
efforts already underway. The process of procuring the sculptures will increase the
visibility of Augusta on the national arts scene, and help bring additional arts
investments to the city. The community engagement central to the development and
installation of the artworks will promote the abilities of Augusta’s local artists so that they
may better compete for these opportunities at home and abroad. The installed
sculptures will become icons that enrich the Augusta landscape and local culture.
2. THE GATEWAY SCULPTURES
Three monumental sculptures will be custom designed and installed by nationally
renowned artists at key entry points to the City. The artists will be selected through a
competitive process that prioritizes proven experience with the construction process of
large sculptures and aesthetics that celebrate the unique sense of place available in
Augusta. The sites will be identified along key transportation corridors with the
assistance of Georgia Department of Transportation. The design process will include
events to engage the community and provide a sense of ownership in this public
artwork. The construction process will be informed by Georgia Department of
Transportation as well as key Augusta, GA departments, such as Engineering.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
The Parties acknowledge that a joint project is created between them by this
Memorandum and both agree to work together to ensure united, visible and responsive
leadership and to provide adequate administrative and managerial resources for the
success of the Gateway Sculptures. The parties will work closely together to succeed in
their joint venture.
a. Services to be rendered by the Commission include:
I. Funding - The Commission has approved $1,000,000 for Gateway
Sculptures in the 2017 SPLOST. The project budget is provided in
schedule A.
II. Procurement – Augusta, GA will lead the procurement of the
sculptures.
III. Final Approval - The Commission will, based on and in consideration
of recommendations made by the Council, decide on final sculpture
plans, locations, and/or designs before implementation and/or
installations.
IV. Ownership and Maintenance – Upon completion, the sculptures will
be the property and responsibility of Augusta, GA for the purpose of
public display and cultural enrichment.
b. Services to be rendered by the Council include:
I. Administration – The Council will coordinate tasks and timelines to
ensure successful installation of three (3) Gateway Sculptures in
accordance with the Augusta Public Art Master Plan.
II. Marketing - The Council will utilize appropriate marketing channels to
promote the sculptures and all associated events. This includes but is
not limited to the prescreening of artist apprentices, and the
development and implementation of events highlighting sculptures.
III. Coordination – The Council will coordinate the various parties
involved in the successful completion of this project, including but not
limited to the public, press, artists, local art community, GADOT, and
any other stakeholder or participant. This process will be facilitated by
the Augusta Recreation and Parks Department.
5. INDEMINIFICATION
Each party to this MOU shall assume the responsibility and liability for the acts
and omissions of its own employee, deputies, officers, or agents, in connection with
performing any obligations and/or responsibilities under this MOU. For liability purposes,
neither party shall be considered the agent of the other party.
6. TERM / PROJECT DURATION
This MOU is at-will and may be modified in writing by mutual consent of
authorized officials from the Commission and the Council. This MOU shall become
effective upon signature by the authorized officials from the Commission and the
Council and will remain in effect until modified or terminated by any one of the partners
by mutual consent. In the absence of mutual agreement by the authorized officials from
the Commission and the Council, this MOU shall end 60 calendar days after a written
notice to the other party has been provided by one party.
7. NOTICE

sufficient if delivered in person or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
address set forth in the opening paragraph or to such other address as one party may
have furnished the other in writing.
8. GOVERNING LAW

Georgia.
9. ASSIGNMENT / TRANSFER OF RESPONSIBILITIES
Neither party may assign or transfer the responsibilities under this Memorandum
without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party.
10. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Memorandum is found to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court
finds that any provision of this Memorandum is invalid or unenforceable, but that by
limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision will
be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
11, NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY RIGHTS.
The parties do not intend to create in any other individual or entity the status of a
third party beneficiary, and this MOU shall not be construed so as to create such status.
The rights, duties and obligations contained in this MOU shall operate only between the
parties to this MOU, and shall inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this MOU. The

MOU with Greater Augusta Arts Council to Administer Gateway Sculpture Project.
Department:Recreation and Parks Department
Presenter:
Caption:Discuss Memorandum of Understanding with Augusta and the
public art agency, the Greater Augusta Arts Council (GAAC),
regarding implementation of three Gateway Sculptures, with the
first to be located at the corner of Riverwatch Parkway and
Alexander Drive. (Requested by Commissioner Marion
Williams)
Background:The purpose of this proposed Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) is to provide the framework for cooperation between the
Commission and the Council to plan and implement three
unique (3) Gateway Sculptures and one (1) secondary sculpture
at key locations, primarily located in state right-of-ways,
selected with guidance from Georgia Department of
Transportation. GAAC will coordinate among the various
involved parties, including the Procurement Department, to
accomplish the solicitation, selection, marketing, and permitting
needed to complete these large public works of art.
Analysis:This project helps to generate a public art collection in Augusta.
This MOU would be the first for the GAAC, and it is modeled
after an MOU between the Commission and the Convention and
Visitor’s Bureau. This agreement would enable the GAAC to
play a more active role in managing the funds and
implementation for this project, with support from the staff
involved with the Public Advisory Arts Panel and specifically
the Recreation and Parks Department.
Financial Impact:The Commission has previously approved $1,000,000 for a
Public Arts Sculpture Festival in SPLOST 7 referendum. This
MOU would allow the GAAC to manage $50,000 of that
amount to cover GAAC’s administrative costs, and $75,000 to
cover implementation to cover marketing, solicitation, and
incidentals related to site preparation and clearing, selection, and
public engagement.
Alternatives:1. To Approve 2. Move No Action thus delaying this important
community art project.
Recommendation:1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding with the Greater
Augusta Arts Council in the amount of $50,000 for
Administrative costs and $75,000 for implementation costs for a
total of $125,000 for the implementation of the Gateway
Sculpture Project.

a. The Lessee shall comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations and with all
applicable laws, ordinances and regulations of the state, county and municipality wherein the
premises are located, including, but not limited to, those regarding construction, health, safety,
food service, water supply, sanitation, use of pesticides, and licenses or permits to do business.
b. The Lessee will provide an annual certification that all water and sanitary systems on
the premises have been inspected and comply with Federal, state and local standards. Lessee
will also provide a statement of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, noting any

8. CONDITION OF PREMISES
The Lessee acknowledges that it has inspected the premises, knows its condition, and
understands that the same is Lease without any representations or warranties whatsoever and
without obligation on the part of the United States to make any alterations, repairs or additions
thereto attached as Exhibit “C”.
9. FACILITIES AND SERVICES
The Lessee shall provide the facilities and services as agreed upon in the Development
Plan referred to in the Condition on development plans either directly or through subleases or
concession agreements that have been reviewed and accepted by the Real Estate Contracting
Officer. These subleases or agreements shall state: (1) that they are granted subject to the
provisions of this lease; and (2) that the agreement will not be effective until the third party
activities have been approved by the Real Estate Contracting Officer. The Lease will not allow
any third party activities with a rental to the Lessee or prices to the public which would give the
third party an undue economic advantage or circumvent the intent of the Development Plan. The
rates and prices charged by the Lessee or its sub-lessees or concessionaires shall be reasonable
and comparable to rates charged for similar goods and services by others in the area. The use of
subleasees and concessionaires will not relieve the Lessee from the primary responsibility for
ensuring compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this lease.
10. TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS
a. Without prior written approval of said officer the Lessee shall neither transfer nor
assign this Lease nor sublet the premises or any part thereof, nor grant any interest, privilege or
license whatsoever in connection with this Lease. Failure to comply with this condition shall
constitute a noncompliance for which the Lease may be revoked immediately by said officer.

facilities, accommodations, or personal property on the premises. The Lessee will not subdivide
nor develop the premises into private residential development.
11. FEES
Fees may be charged by the Lessee for use of the premises or facilities constructed
thereon. The said officer shall have the right to review such fees and require an increase or
reduction when it is determined that the objectives of this Lease have been violated. However,
no user fees may be charged by the Lessee for use of facilities developed in whole or in part with
federal funds if a user charge by the Corps of Engineers for the facility would be prohibited
under law. All monies received by the Lessee from operations conducted on the premises must
be utilized by the Lessee for the administration, maintenance, operation and development of the
premises. Any such monies not so utilized or programmed for use within a reasonable time shall
be paid to said officer at the end of each 5 year period. The Lessee shall furnish annual
statements of receipts and expenditures to said officer.
12. ACCOUNTS, RECORDS AND RECEIPTS
All monies received by the Lessee from operations conducted on the premises, including,
but not limited to, entrance, admission and user fees and rental or other consideration received
from its concessionaires, may be utilized by the Lessee for the administration, maintenance,
operation and development of the premises. Beginning 5 years from the date of this lease and
continuing at 5-year intervals, any such monies not so utilized or programmed for utilization
within a reasonable time shall be paid to the Real Estate Contracting Officer. The Lessee shall
establish and maintain accurate records and accounts and provide an annual statement of receipts
and expenditures to the Real Estate Contracting Officer. Annual or weekly entrance fees not
collected on the Project, which also are honored at other recreational areas operated by the
Lessee, are excluded from this requirement.
The Real Estate Contracting Officer shall have the right to perform audits or to require the
Lessee to audit the records and accounts of the Lessee, third party concessionaires and sub-
lessees, in accordance with auditing standards and procedures promulgated by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants or by the state, and furnish the Real Estate Contracting
Officer with the results of such an audit.

13. PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
The Lessee shall be responsible for any damage that may be caused to property of the
United States by the activities of the Lessee under this lease and shall exercise due diligence in
the protection of all property located on the premises against fire or damage from any and all
other causes. Any property of the United States damaged or destroyed by the Lessee incident to
the exercise of the privileges herein granted shall be promptly repaired or replaced by the Lessee
to the satisfaction of the Real Estate Contracting Officer, or at the election of the Real Estate
Contracting Officer, reimbursement may be made therefore by the Lessee in an amount
necessary to restore or replace the property to a condition satisfactory to the Real Estate
Contracting Officer.
14. RIGHT TO ENTER AND FLOOD
The right is reserved to the United States, its officers, agents, and employees to enter
upon the premises at any time and for any purpose necessary or convenient in connection with
Government purposes; to make inspections; to remove timber or other material, except property
of the Lessee; to flood the premises; to manipulate the level of the lake or pool in any manner
whatsoever; and/or to make any other use of the land as may be necessary in connection with
project purposes, and the Lessee shall have no claim for damages on account thereof against the
United States or any officer, agent, or employee thereof.
15. LIGHTS, SIGNALS AND NAVIGATION
There shall be no unreasonable interference with navigation by the exercise of the
privileges granted by this lease. If the display of lights and signals on any work hereby
authorized is not otherwise provided for by law, such lights and signals as may be prescribed by
the Coast Guard or by the Real Estate Contracting Officer shall be installed and maintained by
and at the expense of the Lessee.

a. At the commencement of this lease, the Lessee, unless self-insured, and its sub-lessees
and concessionaires at the commencement of operating under the terms of this lease as third
parties, shall obtain from a reputable insurance company or companies contracts of liability
insurance. The insurance shall provide an amount not less than that which is prudent, reasonable
and consistent with sound business practices or a minimum Combined Single Limit of
$1,000,000.00 whichever is greater, for any number of parsons or claims arising from any one
incident with respect to bodily injuries or death resulting therefrom, property damage, or both,
suffered or alleged to have been suffered by any person or persons, resulting from the operations
of the Lessee, sub-lessees and concessionaires under the terms of this lease. The Lessee shall
require its insurance company to furnish to the Real Estate Contracting Officer a copy of the
policy or policies, or, if acceptable to the Real Estate Contracting Officer, certificates of
insurance evidencing the purchase of such insurance. The Real Estate Contracting Officer shall
have the right to review and revise the amount of minimum liability insurance required.

b. The insurance policy or policies shall specifically provide protection appropriate for
the types of facilities, services and products involved; and shall provide that the Real Estate
Contracting Officer be given thirty (30) days notice of any cancellation or change in such
insurance.
c. In the event the Lessee is self-insured, the Lessee shall certify such self-insurance in
writing in the minimum amount specified above to the Real Estate Contracting Officer. The
Lessee's insurance status shall not eliminate the requirement for its sub-lessees and
concessionaires to have insurance from a reputable insurance carrier as set out above.
d. The Real Estate Contracting Officer may require closure of any or all of the premises
during any period for which the Lessee and/or its sub-lessees and concessionaires do not have
the required insurance coverage.
17. RESTORATION
On or before the expiration of this Lease or its termination by the Lessee, the Lessee shall
vacate the premises, remove the property of the Lessee, and restore the premises to a condition
satisfactory to said officer. If, however, this Lease is revoked, the Lessee shall vacate the
premises, remove said property, and restore the premises to the aforesaid condition within such
time as said officer may designate. In either event, if the Lessee shall fail or neglect to remove
said property and restore the premises, then, at the option of said officer, said property shall
either become the property of the United States without compensation therefor, or said officer
may cause the property to be removed and no claim for damages against the United States or its
officers or agents shall be created by or made on account of such removal and restoration work.
The Lessee shall also pay the United States on demand any sum which may be expended by the
United States after the expiration, revocation or termination of this Lease in restoring the
premises.
18. NON-DISCRIMINATION
a. The Lessee shall not discriminate against any person or persons or exclude them from
participation in the Lessee's operations, programs or activities conducted on the Lease premises,
because of race, color, religion, sex, age, handicap, or national origin. The Lessee will comply
with the Americans with Disabilities Act and attendant Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) published by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers
Compliance Board.
b. The Lessee, by acceptance of this Lease, is receiving a type of Federal assistance and,
therefore, hereby gives assurance that it will comply with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 2000d); the Age Discrimination Act of 1975
(42 U.S.C. Section 6102); the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. Section 794);
and all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the Directive of the Department of Defense (32
CFR Part 195) issued as Department of Defense Directives 5500.11 and 1020.1, and Army
Regulation 600-7. This assurance shall be binding on the Lessee, its agents, successors,
transferees, subleassees and assignees.

19. SUBJECT TO EASEMENTS
This Lease is subject to all existing easements, or those subsequently granted, as well as
established access routes for roadways and utilities located, or to be located, on the premises,
provided that the proposed grant of any new easement or route will be coordinated with the
Lessee, and the easements will not be granted which will, in the opinion of said officer, interfere
with the use of the premises by the Lessee.
20. SUBJECT TO MINERAL INTERESTS
This Lease is subject to all outstanding mineral interests. As to federally owned mineral
interests, it is understood that they may be included in present or future mineral Leases issued by
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) which has responsibility for mineral development on
federal lands. The Secretary will provide Lease stipulations to BLM for inclusion in said mineral
Leases that are designed to protect the premises from activities that would interfere with the
Lessee's operations or would be contrary to local law.
21. COMPLIANCE, CLOSURE, REVOCATION, AND RELINQUISHMENT
a. The Lessee and/or any subleassees or licensees are charged at all times with full
knowledge of all the limitations and requirements of this Lease, and the necessity for correction
of deficiencies, and with compliance with reasonable requests by said officer. This Lease may
be revoked in the event the Lessee violates any of its terms and conditions and continues and
persists in such non-compliance. The Lessee will be notified of any non-compliance, which
notice shall be in writing or shall be confirmed in writing, giving a period of time in which to
correct the non-compliance. Failure to satisfactorily correct any substantial or persistent non-
compliance within the specified time is grounds for closure of all or part of the premises,
temporary suspension of operation, or revocation of the Lease, after notice in writing of such
intent. Decisions by the said officer concerning future requests by the Lessee to extend the
Lease, expand the premises, modify authorized activities, or assign the Lease shall reflect the
Lessee's past performance and compliance with the Lease terms.
b. This Lease may be relinquished by the Lessee by giving thirty (30) days prior written
notice to said officer in the manner prescribed in the condition on NOTICES.
22. HEALTH AND SAFETY
a. The Lessee shall keep the premises in good order and in a clean, sanitary and safe
condition by and at the expense of the Lessee.
b. In addition to the right of revocation for non-compliance previously stated, said
officer, upon discovery of any hazardous condition on the premises that present an immediate
threat to health or danger to life or property, will so notify the Lessee and will require that the
affected part or all of the premises be closed until such condition is corrected and the danger
eliminated. If the condition is not corrected said officer will have the option to (1) correct the
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
8
hazardous condition and collect the cost of repairs from the Lessee, or (2) revoke the Lease. The
Lessee shall have no claim for damages against the United States, or any officer, agent or
employee thereof on account of action pursuant to this condition.
23. PUBLIC USE
The Lessee shall not forbid the full use by the public of the water areas of the project,
subject however, to the authority and responsibility of the Lessee to carry out its responsibilities
under this Lease to manage the premises and provide safety and security to the facility users.
24. PROHIBITED USES
a. The Lessee shall not permit gambling on the premises. Specifically prohibited is the
use of gambling devices, such as slot machines, video gambling machines, or other casino type
devices that would detract from the family atmosphere. The Real Estate Contracting Officer
may allow the sale of state lottery tickets, in accordance with state and local laws and
regulations, as long as the sale of tickets constitutes a collateral activity, rather than primary
activity of the Lessee. The Lessee shall not install or operate, or permit to be installed or
operated thereon, any device which is illegal; or use the premises or permit them to be used for
any illegal business or purpose. There shall not be conducted on or permitted upon the premises
any activity which would constitute a nuisance.
b. In accordance with state and local laws and regulations, the Lessee may store, or
dispense, or permit the storage, or dispensing of beer, malt beverages, light wines or other
intoxicating beverages on the premises for members of the Lessee organization and their guests.
Advertising of such beverages outside of buildings is not permitted. Carry out package sales of
hard liquor is prohibited.
25. NATURAL RESOURCES
The Lessee shall cut no timber, conduct no mining operations, remove no sand, gravel, or
kindred substances from the ground, commit no waste of any kind, nor in any manner
substantially change the contour or condition of the premises, except as may be authorized under
and pursuant to the condition on DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLANS. The
Lessee may salvage fallen or dead timber on the Lease premises for use as firewood only. All
sales of timber or forest products will be conducted by the United States and the proceeds
therefrom shall not be available to the Lessee under the provisions of this Lease.
26. DISPUTES CLAUSE
a. Except as provided in the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. Sections 7101-
7109) (the Act), all disputes arising under or relating to this Lease shall be resolved under this
clause and the provisions of the Act.
b. "Claim," as used in this clause, means a written demand or written assertion by the
Lessee seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment of
interpretation of Lease terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this Lease. A claim
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
9
arising under this Lease, unlike a claim relating to this Lease, is a claim that can be resolved
under a Lease clause that provides for the relief sought by the Lessee. However, a written
demand or written assertion by the Lessee seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is
not a claim under the Act until certified as required by subparagraph c.(2) below. The routine
request for rental payment that is not in dispute is not a claim under the Act. The request may be
converted to a claim under the Act, by this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount
or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
c. (1) A claim by the Lessee shall be made in writing and submitted to the said officer
for a written decision. A claim by the Government against the Lessee shall be subject to a
written decision by the said officer.
(2) For Lessee claims exceeding $100,000, the Lessee shall submit with the claim a
certification that:
(i) The claim is made in good faith;
(ii) Supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of the Lessee's
knowledge and belief; and
(iii) The amount requested accurately reflects the Lease adjustment for which the
Lessee believes the Government is liable.
(3) (i) If the Lessee is an individual, the certificate shall be executed by that individual.
(ii) If the Lessee is not an individual, the certification shall be executed by:
(A) A senior company official in charge at the Lessee's location involved; or
(B) An officer or general partner of the Lessee having overall responsibility of
the conduct of the Lessee's affairs.
d. For Lessee claims of $100,000 or less, the said officer must, if requested in writing by
the Lessee, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Lessee-certified claims over
$100,000, the said officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Lessee of the date
by which the decision will be made.
e. The said officer's decision shall be final unless the Lessee appeals or files a suit as
provided in the Act.
f. At the time a claim by the Lessee is submitted to the said officer or a claim by the
Government is presented to the Lessee, the parties, by mutual consent, may agree to use
alternative means of dispute resolution. When using alternate dispute resolution procedures, any
claim, regardless of amount, shall be accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph c.(2)
of this clause, and executed in accordance with paragraph c.(3) of this clause.
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028

g. The Government shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid by the
Government from (1) the date the said officer received the claim (properly certified if required),
or (2) the date payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until the date of payment.
Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as
provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the said officer receives the
claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary
during the pendency of the claim. Rental amounts due to the Government by the Lessee will
have interest and penalties as set out in the condition on CONSIDERATION.
h. The Lessee shall proceed diligently with the performance of the Lease, pending final
resolution of any request for relief, claim or action arising under the Lease, and comply with any
decision of said officer.
27. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
a. Within the limits of their respective legal powers, the parties to this Lease shall protect
the project against pollution of its air, ground and water. The Lessee shall comply promptly with
any laws, regulations, conditions or instructions affecting the activity hereby authorized if and
when issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, or any federal, state, interstate or local
governmental agency having jurisdiction to abate or prevent pollution. The disposal of any toxic
or hazardous materials within the Lease area is specifically prohibited. Such regulations,
conditions, or instructions in effect or prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency, or by
any federal, state, interstate or local governmental agency, are hereby made a condition of this
Lease. The Lessee shall require all sanitation facilities on boats moored at the Lessee's facilities
to be sealed against any discharge into the lake. Services for waste disposal, including sewage
pump-out of watercraft, shall be provided by the Lessee as appropriate. The Lessee shall not
discharge waste or effluent from the premises in such a manner that the discharge will
contaminate streams or other bodies of water or otherwise become a public nuisance.
b. The Lessee will use all reasonable means available to protect the environment and
natural resources, and where damage nonetheless occurs arising from the Lessee's activities, the
Lessee shall be liable to restore the damaged resources.
c. The Lessee must obtain approval in writing from said officer before any pesticides or
herbicides are applied to the premises.
28. RECORD OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) documenting the known history of the
property with regard to the storage, release or disposal of hazardous substances thereon, is
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "D". Upon expiration, revocation or
relinquishment of this Lease another REC shall be prepared which will document the
environmental condition of the property at that time. A comparison of the two assessments will
assist the said officer in determining any environmental restoration requirements. Any such
requirements will be completed by the Lessee in accordance with the condition on
RESTORATION.

29. HISTORIC PRESERVATION
The Lessee shall not remove or disturb, or cause or permit to be removed or disturbed,
any historical, archaeological, architectural or other cultural artifacts, relics, remains or objects of
antiquity. In the event such items are discovered on the premises, the Lessee shall immediately
notify said officer and protect the site and the material from further disturbances until said officer
gives clearance to proceed.
30. SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION
The Lessee shall maintain, in a manner satisfactory to said officer, all soil and water
conservation structures that may be in existence upon said premises at the beginning of or that
may be constructed by the Lessee during the term of this Lease, and the Lessee shall take
appropriate measures to prevent or control soil erosion within the premises. Any soil erosion
occurring outside the premises resulting from the activities of the Lessee shall be corrected by
the Lessee as directed by said officer.
31. TRANSIENT USE
a. Camping, including transient trailers or recreational vehicles, at one or more campsites
for a period longer than thirty (30) days during any sixty (60) consecutive day period is
prohibited.
b. Occupying any lands, buildings, vessels or other facilities within the premises for the
purpose of maintaining a full- or part-time residence is prohibited, except for employees residing
on the premises for security purposes if authorized by said officer.
31. COVENANT AGAINST CONTINGENT FEES
The Lessee warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to
solicit or secure this Lease upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage,
brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bon fide employees or established commercial or selling
agencies maintained by the Lessee for the purpose of securing business. For breach of violation
of this warranty, the United States shall have the right to annul this Lease without liability or, in
its discretion, to require the Lessee to pay, in addition to the Lease rental or consideration, the
full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee.
32. COVENANT AGAINST CONTINGENT FEES
The Lessee warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retailed to
solicit or secure this lease upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage,
brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial
or selling agencies maintained by the Lessee for the purpose of securing business. For breach or
violation of this warranty, the United States shall have the right to annul this lease without
liability or, in its discretion, to require the Lessee to pay, in addition to the lease rental or
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
12
consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
33. OFFICIALS NOT TO BENEFIT
No member of or delegate to congress or resident commissioner shall be admitted to any
share or part of this Lease or to any benefits to arise therefrom. However, nothing herein
contained shall be construed to extend to any incorporated company if this Lease is for the
general benefit of such corporation or company.
34. MODIFICATIONS
This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and no modification
of this Lease, or waiver, or consent hereunder shall be valid unless the same be in writing, signed
by the parties to be bound or by a duly authorized representative and this provision shall apply to
this condition as well as other conditions of this Lease.
35. DISCLAIMER
This Lease is effective only insofar as the rights of the United States in the premises are
concerned; and the Lessee shall obtain any permit or license which may be required by Federal,
state, or local statute in connection with the use of the premises. It is understood that the
granting of this Lease does not preclude the necessity of obtaining any Department of the Army
permit for activities which involve the discharge of dredge or fill material or placement of fixed
structures in the waters of the United States, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 3 March 1899 (33 USC Section 403), and Section 404 of the Clean

36. COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER (EO) NO. 13658
(1) Any reference in this section to “prime contractor” or “contractor” shall mean
Augusta, Georgia and any reference to “contract” shall refer to Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028.
(a) The parties expressly stipulate this contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor in 29 CFR part 10 pursuant to the Executive Order,
and the following provisions.
(b) Minimum Wages. (1) Each worker (as defined in 29 CFR 10.2) engaged in the
performance of this contract by the prime contractor or any subcontractor, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and worker, shall
be paid not less than the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658.
(2) The minimum wage required to be paid to each worker performing work on or in
connection with this contract between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 shall be $10.10
per hour. The minimum wage shall be adjusted each time the Secretary of Labor's annual
determination of the applicable minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658
results in a higher minimum wage. Adjustments to the Executive Order minimum wage under
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
13
section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 will be effective for all workers subject to the
Executive Order beginning January 1 of the following year. If appropriate, the contracting
officer, or other agency official overseeing this contract shall ensure the contractor is
compensated only for the increase in labor costs resulting from the annual inflation increases in
the Executive Order 13658 minimum wage beginning on January 1, 2016. The Secretary of
Labor will publish annual determinations in the Federal Register no later than 90 days before
such new wage is to take effect. The Secretary will also publish the applicable minimum wage
on www.wdol.gov (or any successor Web site). The applicable published minimum wage is
incorporated by reference into this contract.
(3) The contractor shall pay unconditionally to each worker all wages due free and clear
and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by 29 CFR 10.23), rebate, or
kickback on any account. Such payments shall be made no later than one pay period following
the end of the regular pay period in which such wages were earned or accrued. A pay period
under this Executive Order may not be of any duration longer than semi-monthly.
(4) The prime contractor and any upper-tier subcontractor shall be responsible for the
compliance by any subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor with the Executive Order minimum
wage requirements. In the event of any violation of the minimum wage obligation of this clause,
the contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages.
(5) If the commensurate wage rate paid to a worker on a covered contract whose wages
are calculated pursuant to a special certificate issued under 29 U.S.C. 214(c), whether hourly or
piece rate, is less than the Executive Order minimum wage, the contractor must pay the
Executive Order minimum wage rate to achieve compliance with the Order. If the
commensurate wage due under the certificate is greater than the Executive Order minimum
wage, the contractor must pay the 14(c) worker the greater commensurate wage.
(c) Withholding. The agency head shall upon its own action or upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the
prime contractor under this or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, so
much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay workers the
full amount of wages required by Executive Order 13658.
(d) Contract Suspension/Contract Termination/Contractor Debarment. In the event of a
failure to pay any worker all or part of the wages due under Executive Order 13658 or 29 CFR
part 10, or a failure to comply with any other term or condition of Executive Order 13658 or 29
CFR part 10, the contracting agency may on its own action or after authorization or by direction
of the Department of Labor and written notification to the contractor, take action to cause
suspension of any further payment, advance or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased. Additionally, any failure to comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds
for termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. In such event, the Government
may enter into other contracts or arrangements for completion of the work, charging the
contractor in default with any additional cost. A breach of the contract clause may be grounds
for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 10.52.

(e) The contractor may not discharge any part of its minimum wage obligation under
Executive Order 13658 by furnishing fringe benefits or, with respect to workers whose wages are
governed by the Service Contract Act, the cash equivalent thereof.
(f) Nothing herein shall relieve the contractor of any other obligation under Federal, State
or local law, or under contract, for the payment of a higher wage to any worker, nor shall a lower
prevailing wage under any such Federal, State, or local law, or under contract, entitle a
contractor to pay less than $10.10 (or the minimum wage as established each January thereafter)
to any worker.
(g) Payroll Records. (1) The contractor shall make and maintain for three years records
containing the information specified in paragraphs (g)(1) (i) through (vi) of this section for each
worker and shall make the records available for inspection and transcription by authorized
representatives of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor:
(i) Name, address, and social security number.
(ii) The worker's occupation(s) or classification(s)
(iii) The rate or rates of wages paid.
(iv) The number of daily and weekly hours worked by each worker.
(v) Any deductions made; and
(vi) Total wages paid.
(2) The contractor shall also make available a copy of the contract, as applicable, for
inspection or transcription by authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division.
(3) Failure to make and maintain or to make available such records for inspection and
transcription shall be a violation of 29 CFR part 10 and this contract, and in the case of failure to
produce such records, the contracting officer, upon direction of an authorized representative of
the Department of Labor, or under its own action, shall take such action as may be necessary to
cause suspension of any further payment or advance of funds until such time as the violations are
discontinued.
(4) The contractor shall permit authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division
to conduct investigations, including interviewing workers at the worksite during normal working
hours.
(5) Nothing in this clause limits or otherwise modifies the contractor's payroll and
recordkeeping obligations, if any, under the Davis-Bacon Act, as amended, and its implementing
regulations; the Service Contract Act, as amended, and its implementing regulations; the Fair
Labor Standards Act, as amended, and its implementing regulations; or any other applicable law.

(h) The contractor (as defined in 29 CFR 10.2) shall insert this clause in all of its covered
subcontracts and shall require its subcontractors to include this clause in any covered lower-tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor and any upper-tier subcontractor shall be responsible for the
compliance by any subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor with this contract clause.
(i) Certification of Eligibility. (1) By entering into this contract, the contractor (and
officials thereof) certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an
interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts
by virtue of the sanctions imposed pursuant to section 5 of the Service Contract Act, section 3(a)
of the Davis-Bacon Act, or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(2) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm whose name
appears on the list of persons or firms ineligible to receive Federal contracts.
(3) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18
U.S.C. 1001.
(j) Tipped employees. In paying wages to a tipped employee as defined in section 3(t) of
the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. 203(t), the contractor may take a partial credit against
the wage payment obligation (tip credit) to the extent permitted under section 3(a) of Executive
Order 13658. In order to take such a tip credit, the employee must receive an amount of tips at
least equal to the amount of the credit taken; where the tipped employee does not receive
sufficient tips to equal the amount of the tip credit the contractor must increase the cash wage
paid for the workweek so that the amount of cash wage paid and the tips received by the
employee equal the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658. To utilize this
proviso:
(1) The employer must inform the tipped employee in advance of the use of the tip credit;
(2) The employer must inform the tipped employee of the amount of cash wage that will
be paid and the additional amount by which the employee's wages will be considered increased
on account of the tip credit;
(3) The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually or through a pooling
arrangement and regardless of whether the employer elects to take a credit for tips received); and
(4) The employer must be able to show by records that the tipped employee receives at
least the applicable Executive Order minimum wage through the combination of direct wages
and tip credit.
(k) Antiretaliation. It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge or in any other manner
discriminate against any worker because such worker has filed any complaint or instituted or
caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to Executive Order 13658 or 29 CFR part
10, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding.
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
16
(l) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes related to the application of Executive
Order 13658 to this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of the contract.
Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor
set forth in 29 CFR part 10. Disputes within the meaning of this contract clause include disputes
between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the workers or their representatives.
(m) Notice. The contractor must notify all workers performing work on or in connection
with a covered contract of the applicable minimum wage rate under the Executive Order. With
respect to service employees on contracts covered by the Service Contract Act and laborers and
mechanics on contracts covered by the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor may meet this
requirement by posting, in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite, the applicable wage
determination under those statutes. With respect to workers performing work on or in
connection with a covered contract whose wages are governed by the FLSA, the contractor must
post a notice provided by the Department of Labor in a prominent and accessible place at the
worksite so it may be readily seen by workers. Contractors that customarily post notices to
workers electronically may post the notice electronically provided such electronic posting is
displayed prominently on any Web site that is maintained by the contractor, whether external or
internal, and customarily used for notices to workers about terms and conditions of employment.
(n) If a duly authorized representative of the United States discovers or determines,
whether before or subsequent to executing this contract, that an erroneous determination
regarding the applicability of Executive Order 13658 was made, contractor, to the extent
permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the United States, its officers, agents,
and employees, for and from any and all liabilities, losses, claims, expenses, suits, fines,
penalties, judgments, demands or actions, costs, fees, and damages directly or indirectly arising
out of, caused by, related to, resulting from or in any way predicated upon, in whole or in part,
the erroneous Executive Order 13658 determination. This includes contractor releasing any
claim or entitlement it would otherwise have to an equitable adjustment to the contract and
indemnifying and holding harmless the United States from the claims of subcontractors and
contractor employees.
37. COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER (EO) NO. 13706
Any reference in this section to “prime contractor” or “contractor” shall mean Augusta,
Georgia and any reference to “contract” shall refer to Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028.
(a) Executive Order 13706. This contract is subject to Executive Order 13706, the
regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor in 29 CFR part 13 pursuant to the Executive Order,
and the following provisions.
(b) Paid sick leave.
(1) The contractor shall permit each employee (as defined in 29 CFR 13.2) engaged
in the performance of this contract by the prime contractor or any subcontractor, regardless of
any contractual relationship that may be alleged to exist between the contractor and employee, to
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
17
earn not less than 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. The contractor shall
additionally allow accrual and use of paid sick leave as required by Executive Order 13706 and
29 CFR part 13. The contractor shall in particular comply with the accrual, use, and other
requirements set forth in 29 CFR 13.5 and 13.6, which are incorporated by reference in this
contract.
(2) The contractor shall provide paid sick leave to all employees when due free and
clear and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by 29 CFR 13.24), rebate,
or kickback on any account. The contractor shall provide pay and benefits for paid sick leave
used no later than one pay period following the end of the regular pay period in which the paid
sick leave was taken.
(3) The prime contractor and any upper-tier subcontractor shall be responsible for the
compliance by any subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor with the requirements of Executive
Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, and this clause.
(c) Withholding. The contracting officer shall, upon its own action or upon written
request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor, withhold or cause to be
withheld from the prime contractor under this or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay
employees the full amount owed to compensate for any violation of the requirements of
Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, or this clause, including any pay and/or benefits denied
or lost by reason of the violation; other actual monetary losses sustained as a direct result of the
violation, and liquidated damages.
(d) Contract Suspension/Contract Termination/Contractor Debarment. In the event of a
failure to comply with Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, or this clause, the contracting
agency may on its own action or after authorization or by direction of the Department of Labor
and written notification to the contractor, take action to cause suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. Additionally, any failure to
comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds for termination of the right to
proceed with the contract work. In such event, the Government may enter into other contracts or
arrangements for completion of the work, charging the contractor in default with any additional
cost. A breach of the contract clause may be grounds for debarment as a contractor and
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 13.52.
(e) The paid sick leave required by Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, and this
clause is in addition to a contractor's obligations under the Service Contract Act and Davis-
Bacon Act, and a contractor may not receive credit toward its prevailing wage or fringe benefit
obligations under those Acts for any paid sick leave provided in satisfaction of the requirements
of Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13.
(f) Nothing in Executive Order 13706 or 29 CFR part 13 shall excuse noncompliance
with or supersede any applicable Federal or State law, any applicable law or municipal
ordinance, or a collective bargaining agreement requiring greater paid sick leave or leave rights
than those established under Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13.
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
18
(g) Recordkeeping.
(1) Any contractor performing work subject to Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part
13 must make and maintain, for no less than three (3) years from the completion of the work on
the contract, records containing the information specified in paragraphs (i) through (xv) of this
section for each employee and shall make them available for inspection, copying, and
transcription by authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S.
Department of Labor:
(i) Name, address, and Social Security number of each employee;
(ii) The employee's occupation(s) or classification(s);
(iii) The rate or rates of wages paid (including all pay and benefits provided);
(iv) The number of daily and weekly hours worked;
(v) Any deductions made;
(vi) The total wages paid (including all pay and benefits provided) each pay period;
(vii) A copy of notifications to employees of the amount of paid sick leave the
employee has accrued, as required under 29 CFR 13.5(a)(2);
(viii) A copy of employees' requests to use paid sick leave, if in writing, or, if not in
writing, any other records reflecting such employee requests;
(ix) Dates and amounts of paid sick leave taken by employees (unless a contractor's
paid time off policy satisfies the requirements of Executive Order 13706 and 29
CFR part 13 as described in § 13.5(f)(5), leave must be designated in records as
paid sick leave pursuant to Executive Order 13706);
(x) A copy of any written responses to employees' requests to use paid sick leave,
including explanations for any denials of such requests, as required under 29
CFR 13.5(d)(3);
(xi) Any records reflecting the certification and documentation a contractor may
require an employee to provide under 29 CFR 13.5(e), including copies of any
certification or documentation provided by an employee;
(xii) Any other records showing any tracking of or calculations related to an
employee's accrual or use of paid sick leave;
(xiii) The relevant covered contract;
(xiv) The regular pay and benefits provided to an employee for each use of paid sick
leave; and
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
19
(xv) Any financial payment made for unused paid sick leave upon a separation from
employment intended, pursuant to 29 CFR 13.5(b)(5), to relieve a contractor
from the obligation to reinstate such paid sick leave as otherwise required by
29 CFR 13.5(b)(4).
(2) (i) If a contractor wishes to distinguish between an employee's covered and non-
covered work, the contractor must keep records or other proof reflecting such
distinctions. Only if the contractor adequately segregates the employee's
time will time spent on non-covered work be excluded from hours worked
counted toward the accrual of paid sick leave. Similarly, only if that
contractor adequately segregates the employee's time may a contractor
properly refuse an employee's request to use paid sick leave on the ground
that the employee was scheduled to perform non-covered work during the
time she asked to use paid sick leave.
(ii) If a contractor estimates covered hours worked by an employee who
performs work in connection with covered contracts pursuant to 29 CFR
13.5(a)(i) or,
(iii) The contractor must keep records or other proof of the verifiable information
on which such estimates are reasonably based. Only if the contractor relies
on an estimate that is reasonable and based on verifiable information will an
employee's time spent in connection with non-covered work be excluded
from hours worked counted toward the accrual of paid sick leave. If a
contractor estimates the amount of time an employee spends performing in
connection with covered contracts, the contractor must permit the employee
to use her paid sick leave during any work time for the contractor.
(3) In the event a contractor is not obligated by the Service Contract Act, the Davis-
Bacon Act, or the Fair Labor Standards Act to keep records of an employee's hours worked, such
as because the employee is exempt from the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime requirements,
and the contractor chooses to use the assumption permitted by 29 CFR 13.5(a)(1)(iii), the
contractor is excused from the requirement in paragraph (1)(d) of this section to keep records of
the employee's number of daily and weekly hours worked.
(4) (i) Records relating to medical histories or domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking, created for purposes of Executive Order 13706, whether of an
employee or an employee's child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or other
individual related by blood or affinity whose close association with the
employee is the equivalent of a family relationship, shall be maintained as
confidential records in separate files/records from the usual personnel files.
(ii) If the confidentiality requirements of the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) apply to
records or documents created to comply with the recordkeeping requirements
in this contract clause, the records and documents must also be maintained in
compliance with the confidentiality requirements of the GINA, section 503
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and/or ADA as described in 29 CFR
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
20
1635.9, 41 CFR 60-741.23(d), and 29 CFR 1630.14(c)(1), respectively.
(iii) The contractor shall not disclose any documentation used to verify the need
to use 3 or more consecutive days of paid sick leave for the purposes listed in
29 CFR 13.5(c)(1)(iv) (as described in 29 CFR 13.5(e)(1)(ii)) and shall
maintain confidentiality about any domestic abuse, sexual assault, or
stalking, unless the employee consents or when disclosure is required by law.
(5) The contractor shall permit authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour
Division to conduct interviews with employees at the worksite during normal working hours.
(6) Nothing in this contract clause limits or otherwise modifies the contractor's
recordkeeping obligations, if any, under the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Executive Order 13658, their
respective implementing regulations, or any other applicable law.
(h) The contractor (as defined in 29 CFR 13.2) shall insert this clause in all of its covered
subcontracts and shall require its subcontractors to include this clause in any covered lower-tier
subcontracts.
(i) Certification of Eligibility.
(1) By entering into this contract, the contractor (and officials thereof) certifies
that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is
a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of the sanctions
imposed pursuant to section 5 of the Service Contract Act, section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act,
or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(2) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm whose
name appears on the list of persons or firms ineligible to receive Federal contracts currently
maintained on the System for Award Management Web site, http://www.SAM.gov.
(3) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal
Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(j) Interference/Discrimination.
(1) A contractor may not in any manner interfere with an employee's accrual or
use of paid sick leave as required by Executive Order 13706 or 29 CFR part 13. Interference
includes, but is not limited to, miscalculating the amount of paid sick leave an employee has
accrued, denying or unreasonably delaying a response to a proper request to use paid sick leave,
discouraging an employee from using paid sick leave, reducing an employee's accrued paid sick
leave by more than the amount of such leave used, transferring an employee to work on non-
covered contracts to prevent the accrual or use of paid sick leave, disclosing confidential
information contained in certification or other documentation provided to verify the need to use
paid sick leave, or making the use of paid sick leave contingent on the employee's finding a
replacement worker or the fulfillment of the contractor's operational needs.
Lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028
21
(2) A contractor may not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against
any employee for:
(i) Using, or attempting to use, paid sick leave as provided for under
Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13;
(ii) Filing any complaint, initiating any proceeding, or otherwise asserting any
right or claim under Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13;
(iii) Cooperating in any investigation or testifying in any proceeding under
Executive Order 13706 and 29 CFR part 13; or
(iv) Informing any other person about his or her rights under Executive Order
13706 and 29 CFR part 13.
(k) Waiver. Employees cannot waive, nor may contractors induce employees to waive,
their rights under Executive Order 13706, 29 CFR part 13, or this clause.
(l) Notice. The contractor must notify all employees performing work on or in
connection with a covered contract of the paid sick leave requirements of Executive Order
13706, 29 CFR part 13, and this clause by posting a notice provided by the Department of Labor
in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite so it may be readily seen by employees.
Contractors that customarily post notices to employees electronically may post the notice
electronically, provided such electronic posting is displayed prominently on any Web site that is
maintained by the contractor, whether external or internal, and customarily used for notices to
employees about terms and conditions of employment.
(m) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes related to the application of
Executive Order 13706 to this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of the
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of
Labor set forth in 29 CFR part 13. Disputes within the meaning of this contract clause include
disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the
U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam Park Lease
Department:Recreation and Parks Department
Presenter:Ron Houck
Caption:Motion to extend the Lease of the New Savannah Bluff Lock
and Dam Park with the United States Army.
Background:The current Lease Agreement between Augusta, Georgia and the
United States Army expired in December of 2018. Augusta
received notice on February 26, 2019. The Recreation and Parks
Department received information in March and proceeded to
review the documents. The agreement was forwarded to the Law
Department for review. Upon their review it was sent back to the
US Army Engineer District for revisions. The document came
back into our hands in late July.
Analysis:With the proposed lease No. DACW21-1-19-0028, this would
grant the City of Augusta through the Department of Recreation
and Parks the continued authority use to operate and maintain
the 50 acres more or less of Government land for park and
recreational purposes. The term of this extended lease would be
for ten years and expire in December 2028. The structure of the
lease has remained intact and is the same in content, minus some
minor verbiage changes recommended by the Law Department.
This has been fully vetted by staff, the Law Department and by
the United States Army.
Financial Impact:There is no additional cost associated with the extension of the
lease. Through the Department’s operating budget for 2019,
$66,180 was allocated for this park operation.

Second Amendment Hall Marketing Contract
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Motion to approve the Second Amendment to the Hall
Marketing Contract for a 60 day extension.
Background:Airport staff solicited proposals for advertising agency services
in April 2019. Responses to the solicitation were due May 30,
2019. Nine proposals were received and eight of the bidders
were determined to be responsive. Augusta Richmond County
Procurement staff and Airport staff have been going through the
review and evaluation process. Due to scheduling conflicts for
the proponent presentations and confusion by the proponents
regarding the fee submittals, an agency selection has not yet
been made. The Airport is in need of agency services. Since a
new agency has not yet been selected, Airport Legal Counsel has
recommended extending the Hall Marketing contract for an
additional sixty-day period.
Analysis:The Airport is in need of agency services. Since a new agency
has not yet been selected, Airport Legal Counsel has
recommended extending the Hall Marketing contract for an
additional sixty-day period.
Financial Impact:No added fee. Continuation of current contract for 60 additional
days.
Alternatives:To Deny
Recommendation:Augusta Aviation Commission recommends approval of Second
Amendment Hall Marketing Contract-60 day extension, which
was approved on July 31, 2019 at the Augusta Aviation
Commission.
