Aircraft Jet Refueler
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Motion to approve the purchase of an Aircraft Refueler
Truck for $244, 850.00 from Skymark Refuelers, LLC. The
purchase will financed and amortized using the GMA lease
purchase option. Action approved by the Augusta Aviation
Commission on October 28, 2021.
Background:Delivering Jet fuel to the customer is one of the Airport’s core
businesses and the need to have reliable and a sufficient supply
of equipment is extremely important to accommodate the daily
operational demands. As older fuel trucks age, those trucks are
converted to defuel trucks to support the Standard Aero
operation. The Airport has an older truck that was unreliable
and was recently converted to a defuel truck which decreased
refueler truck capacity. As a result, a request to procure a 5000-
gallon jet refueler was approved in the 2021 airport budget.
Analysis:Currently the Airport has a total of four Jet-A refuelers, two
refuelers are supplied by the Airport’s contract fueler, Avfuel,
and the other two are Airport owned. One of the Airport-owned
refuelers has been converted to a defuel truck which leaves three
remaining refuelers in operation. Additionally, trucks become
temporarily inoperative over time due to scheduled and
unscheduled repairs as a result of usage and multiple operators.
The Airport can request an additional refueler truck from
Avfuel, but the terms are not favorable relative to procuring the
refueler truck via the GMA lease purchase option. The Airport
collaborated with the County Procurement Department to solicit
bids for a new aircraft jet refueler. Seven (7) companies were
invited to bid, but only two companies offered a compliant bid.
Of the two bidders, Skymark Refuelers LLC. offered the lowest
price at $244, 850.00. Additionally, this vehicle meets all
requirements stipulated in the specification. Bid tabulations are
attached.
Financial Impact:The apparatus will be financed over a 10-year period with 0%
interest resulting in annual payments of $24,485.

Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Motion to approve contract with the Augusta Regional Airport

Concession Agreement. Approved by the Augusta Aviation
Commission on October 28, 2021.
Background:The Airport recently solicited a Request for Proposal through the
Augusta Richmond County Procurement Department to for
Automated Teller Machine services for the Airport. Four
compliant proposals were received.
Analysis:The four proposals were reviewed by a committee consisting of
Airport and Procurement Department staff on September 29,
2021. Upon careful review and discussion, the Committee
unanimously selected Alpine Creek Enterprises, LLC as the best
fit to provide ATM machines and servicing for the Airport. The
evaluation sheet and scores are attached. The agreement is for a
term of three (3) years with two one (1) year options for
renewal.
Financial Impact:This agreement is exclusively a "money in" contract. There is no

RE: Augusta Public Transit Facility – Skanska Support Letter for Wendel Change Proposal
Dear Ms. Dottery,
As you requested, Skanska has reviewed the proposal submitted by Wendel for providing additional
construction administration services as they related to the construction of the Augusta Public Transit (APT)
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Facility. The extension of time and cost coincide directly with the
extension in time granted Reeves Young the contractor for the project.
Our review of both the time and cost provided by Wendel is that this is reasonable and was certainly
needed for the City. Here is why:
a) Because the contractor still had work to do, RFI’s, Submittals and Shop drawings had to
be reviewed and approved by Wendel in order for the contractor to proceed.
b) Bi-weekly OAC meetings were still being held where Wendel provided team members to
answer questions and solve any discrepancies.
c) Review of pay application, Potential Change Orders (PCO’s) and other related tasks were
still needed by the A&E.
d) Design decisions in the field were still being made under the time extension
e) Reviews of FTA requirements including Buy America as well as spot checks for Davis
Bacon Wage rates were still being conducted with support of the A&E.
f) While there is no one spot in a project more important than another, the end of a project
normally requires more hands-on time and observation to approve final assembly, finishes and
products that will stay with the facility. Wendel provided on site reviews and observations during
this time with the responsible discipline.
g) Wendel priced the proposal based on the previous proposal in that the total amount on
construction administration services was divided by the estimated time. Doing this for the added
time is the most reasonable way to predict what the cost could be.
Based on our review, the work performed by Wendel was both necessary and the price reasonable for the
anticipated work at that time. What was delivered was exactly that or possibly even more. I say the latter
because as you know, while both Wendel’s and Skanska’s contracts are complete, we have remained
involved with APT solving ongoing maintenance issues with some of the equipment.
I am happy to discuss this with you or others at the City.
Thank you as always, and we look forward to working together again in the future.
Sincerely,
Scott Penton

Companies dated March 25, 2013 for the last and final payment
for Construction Administration of the Transit Operation and
Maintenance Facility for Augusta, Georgia.
Background:The Architectural and Engineering services contract with
Wendel Companies was awarded on March 25, 2013 after
conducting a competitive procurement process that was
managed directly by Augusta’s Procurement Department and
consistent with the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA)
competitive Architectural and Engineering (A&E) procurement
process. The contract was for the basic services associated with
the Architectural and Engineering Design of a new Augusta
Public Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility on Mike
Padgett Highway. The original contract was for an amount of
Five Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety
Dollars ($595,890.00). Wendel had completed approximately
60% of the design work on the project when a decision was
made to suspend work on the project and reconsider the decision
to build at that location. Wendell was paid a total of Two
Hundred Nineteen Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Two Dollars
($219,762.00) for the work they had completed on the project
through that time. Augusta has made a decision to build the
facility at a new location. Wendel has proposed a fee associated
with Design and Engineering of the new facility of Eight
Hundred Ninety Five Thousand and Ten Dollars ($895,010.00).
This represents an amount that equals 7.45% of the total
estimated construction cost of Twelve Million Dollars
($12,000,000.00) for the project. They will be utilized as much
of the previously developed plans as possible from the previous
site in the new project. However, codes had changed and any
previous design work had to be revised to bring them in
compliance with new building codes. This amendment to the
Wendel contract increased the originally approved amount of
Five Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety
Dollars ($595,890.00) to an Amount not to exceed One Million
One Hundred Fourteen Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Two
Dollars ($1,114,772.00). The net increase of this contract was
Five Hundred Eighteen Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Two
Dollars ($518,882.00). On September 6, 2016, the new contract
was approved by Commission and the amount was calculated by
adding the fees for the design of the new facility ($895,010.00)
and the amount paid previously ($219,762.00) on the Mike
Padgett project. The total cost of this contract with Wendel
Companies was $ 1,114,772.00 Amount previously paid to
Wendel Companies was -219,762.00 Balance
funded for new project was $
895,010.00
Analysis:Wendel’s last and final payment is Eight-Two Thousand Seven
Hundred Sixty Nine Dollars and Fifty-One Cents. ($82,769.51)
for the construction administration services provided. Those
costs were associated with the A/E Construction Administration
services included the following: • Review project close out

up of major building systems and specialty equipment •

has a balance of Thirty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-
Four Dollars ($33,424.00) remaining and this amendment is to
add Forty-Nine Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five Dollars
and Fifty-One Cents ($49,345.51) to the PO for the last and final
payment. Wendel’s final payment increases the contract amount
approved of One Million three Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand
Five Hundred Twelve Dollars and Thirty-Four Cents
($1,334,512.34) to One Million Three Hundred Eighty-Three
Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Seven Dollars and Eighty-Five
Cents ($1,383,857.85). The net increase of this contract is Forty-
