the Consultant hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ENGAGEMENT AND SCOPE
1.1 Augusta hereby engages the Consultant to provide professional engineering services in
accordance with the Contract Documents (defined in Section 4.1 hereof), including .the
Consultant's Technical Approach (the "Proposal"), which is Exhibit "A" attached hereto
and made a part hereof, with respect to the AugustalRichmond Water & Sewer System
GIS Update and the tasks described in Section 1.2 hereof (the "Work"), and the
Consultant hereby accepts such engagement, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.
1.2 The Consultant shall provide, furnish and perform all necessary labor and services and
provide and furnish all necessary supplies, materials and equipment required to complete
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Such services shall include
updating the GIS system with information from the estimated 4000 as-built drawings
such that the information can be integrated with the Maintenance Management System by
George Butler and Associates, being purchased by Augusta.
1.3 If the Consultant is of the opinion that any services requested of it hereunder are beyond
the scope of the Work as provided in the Contract Documents, the Consultant shall
promptly notify Augusta in writing of such opinion and the reasons for the same, with
specific references to the Contract Documents
1.4 No additional services beyond the scope of the Work as provided in the Contract
Documents shall be performed by the Consultant unless Augusta determines that such
Page 1
I' t'

work is beyond the scope of work as provided in the Contract Documents and shall, in
writing, have specifically directed such services to be performed, and a Change Order
(hereafter defined) shall have been signed by Augusta and the Consultant. In the event of
noncompliance with the foregoing, the Consultant shall neither have nor make any claim
for additional compensation by reason of a claim for additional services.
1.5 The term "Change Order" as used herein is a written order to the Consultant, issued and
signed by Augusta after execution of this Agreement, authorizing a change in the Work
or an adjustment in the Contract Price (hereafter defined) or the Term (hereafter defined).
Unless the Consultant requests a modification in such Change Order, the Consultant
shall sign the Change Order and return a copy thereof to Augusta within ten (10) business
days after it has received the same. The Consultant shall have ten (10) business days
from its receipt of a Change Order within which to request a modification thereto.
.. Failure of Consultant to respond to a'Change Order within'such ten-(1'O} day period shall"-
be deemed to signify Consultant's acceptance of such Change Order as if Consultant had
signed the same without modification. If Consultant requests a modification of a Change
Order, Augusta shall have thirty (30) business days from receipt of such request to accept
such modification in writing. If not so accepted, such request is deemed to be rejected.
ARTICLE 2
TERM AND FORCE MAJEURE
2.1 Subject only to Change Order(s) or the provisions for termination set forth in Article 12
below, the Consultant shall commence the work within seven '(7) days after the date of
this Agreement and shall complete the same within nine months thereof. Time is of the
essence to this Agreement.
2.2 If the Consultant is delayed at any time in the progress ofthe Work by labor disputes,
fire, adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipated, unavoidable casualties, or any
other causes beyond the Consultant's control and without the fault or negligence of
Consultant, the Consultant shall prepare and submit to Augusta within five (5) calendar
days of the occurrence a written report of its assessment of the occurrence and any
proposed amendment to the Term. The Consultant shall proceed with due diligence to
alleviate any such delay and shall continue in the performance of its obligations
hereunder. Augusta may determine, in its sole discretion, after the receipt of such notice
of delay from the Consultant, whether to terminate this Agreement in accordance with

3.1 Augusta shall pay Consultant a fee for completion of the work determined in accordance
with the schedule of charges set forth in Exhibit "B". The fee payable to the Consultant
hereunder shall not exceed two hundred forty eight thousand six hundred eighty dollars
($248,680) (the "Contract Price"), unless Consultant has requested and Augusta has
authorized in writing an increased amount.
Should the Consultant anticipate exceeding the Contract Price, it shall notify Augusta in
writing and request a Change Order stating in detail the reasons why the Contract Price
will be exceeded and the Consultant's best estimate of the number of hours and additional
expenses the Consultant will require to complete the Work. If a request to increase the
Contract Price is made but not accepted, Consultant shall still be obligated to continue
providing services until the work is completed. If Augusta and the Consultant agree upon
. --'a"modification to.the' Contract Price;"a'Change'Order shall be issuedwithrespectthereto.""'" "
3.2 Consultant shall submit an invoice monthly to Augusta for the Work performed and the
charges therefor in the preceding month based on the number of units completed during
that month. The invoice shall identify the total number of units (drawings scanned,
digitized, attributes added to the data base) completed and delivered and will be
calculated based on the contract price set forth in Exhibit "B".
With each invoice, Consultant shall submit a monthly financial and technical progress
report. Th'is monthly report shall, consistent with the Proposal, describe on a task basis
the charges for the invoice period. The Consultant will notify Augusta when seventy-five
percent (75%) and ninety percent (90%) of the Contract Price has been expended. The
monthly report shall contain a statement that the Work is expected to be provided within
the Term and the Contract Price or, if the Work is not expected to be so completed within
the Term and for the Contract Price, it shall contain an explanation of the reason for the
excess and the amount of excess.
Each such invoice shall also contain Consultant's certification that the task or portion of
the Work described in the invoice has been completed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, that the amount of all items due to third parties has been paid, and that the
amount of such invoice is due to the Consultant.
3.3 Unless different payment terms are identified in Exhibit "B", Augusta shall pay the full
amount of an invoice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice and
accompanying financial report, prepared as described herein. If, however, Augusta
objects to all or any portion of any invoice, Augusta shall so notify Consultant of the
same, stating the reasons for the objection. Augusta shall be entitled to withhold payment
of any amounts in dispute, but shall make payments on amounts not in dispute. The
parties shall immediately make every effort to settle any disputed portion of the invoice.

EXHIBIT "A"
.:. TECHNICAL APPROACH
Augusta has begun the process of developing a comprehensive GIS database for both their sanitary
sewer and water systems. The most progress has been made on the sewer system, which currently
encompasses approximately 60% of the system and 75% of the sewer structures (estimated at 11,220
structures total I ). However, only limited elevation information is currently available in the GIS data.
The effort to incorporate the estimated 1,500 miles of water mains of the water system has just begun.
The goal ofthis project is to update the GIS system with information from the estimated 2,000 as-built
, drawings currently stored by Augusta such that this information can be integrated with theMaintenance.... .-................---- ...'.....
Management System being considered for purchase.
>-CONVERSION OF EXISTING AS-BUILT DRAWINGS INTO DIGITAL FORMAT
The as-built drawings will be scanned into a digital fonnat to facilitate incorporating the sewer and
water information on them into the GIS system. Following the scanning process, the images will
be corrected (rectified) for the coordinate system used by Augusta's GIS system.
· Acquire existing as-built drawings and GIS data from Augusta.
Before work begins, KHAFRA will obtain all relevant GIS layers from Augusta. These should
include all streets, street centerlines, structures, parcels, topography, sewer lines, sewer
structures (manholes), hydrants, water valves, pressure reducers, and water lines. All relevant
databases Augusta may have that contain information relevant to the sewer or water systems
should also be made available to KHAFRA for possible inclusion in the GIS data. Additional
layers will be requested if needed.
KHAFRA will acquire as-built drawings from Augusta and return them as they are scanned.
· Scan drawings into electronic format.
Using a large-format scanner, KHAFRA will convert the hard copy as-builts into Tag Image
File Fonnat (TIFF) images at a resolution that allows all details from the original drawing to
be legible. These files are supported by core ArcView and do not require any ArcView
extensions to be loaded.
· Geo-reference image files to the proper coordinate system for Augusta.
Geo-referencing is the process by which a GIS works out the real-world coordinates of a digital
image and positions it in its correct place in the GIS. Images are stored as raster data, where
each cell in the image has a row and column number. The ArcView shapefiles used by Augusta
are stored in real-world coordinates (1983 State Plane - Georgia East projection system). In
order to display images with shapefiles, it is necessary to establish an image-to-world
transfonnation that converts the image coordinates to real-world coordinates. KHAFRA will
I Source: Technical Memorandum entitled "Utilities Department Background Information" dated January 6, 2000
prepared by the Utilities Department in association with CH2M Hill.
utilize the Image Analyst extension of ArcView to facilitate this image-to-map rectification
and store the rectified image as a GeoTIFF file. Survey control points will be used to perform
this step when present on the as-builts. When control points are not available, the street
centerlines and intersections will be used. The GeoTlFF file type includes the geo-referencing
information with the image file to allow ArcView to automatically display the image in the
correct location.
· Compare rectified images of as-builts with existing GIS street centerlines.
The first step of quality control will be the comparison of the rectified images with the existing
GIS street centerlines. Any images not matching will be further rectified to the street
centerlines. This will ensure that the sewer and water data digitized from the images will
correctly align with the existing GIS data.
~ DIGITIZE AS-BUILTS INTO A GIS DATABASE WITH ATTRIBUTE
._.............,.JNF.OE1Y1.e.TION. .........._." ..._.......,..... ...' .~..,. , .... d'." ,... ...... __...,_
Once an image has been scanned and fully rectified, GIS technicians will digitize the sewer and
water features into new ArcView shape files and record all available information requested by
Augusta.
· Create a custom application to aid in digitizing features and recording attribute data.
Utilizing the scripting language used byArcView (Avenue), KHAFRA will develop tools to
assist its GIS technicians with the digitizing process. These tools will prompt the technician
to enter the appropriate information following the creation of a new feature. This data will then
be recorded in the attribute table for the feature.
· Digitize sanitary sewer manholes and water system into new ArcView shape files.
The technician will load an as-built image into ArcView along with existing GIS information.
He/she will then select the appropriate custom tool to create a sanitary sewer manhole, water
main, valve, hydrant, or pressure reducer. The tool will construct the feature in the appropriate
shape file and open a data entry dialog box to record the attribute data. This will ensure that
all appropriate information for the new feature is recorded properly.
· Record all necessary attribute data for digitized features.
To speed the digitization process, much .ofthe attribute information for features of a particular
as-built will default into the data entry form before it is displayed to the technician. The data
entry fields will provide data validation to ensure that the data entered is appropriate for the
field. The attribute information for each feature type is provided in Table Ion the following
page.
· Use Avenue to create a custom script to automate the construction of sanitary sewer lines.
To reduce the amount of work required, the sewer lines will be constructed automatically using
information collected during sewer manhole digitizing. As information is recorded for the
manhole features of the sewer system, the upstream and downstream manhole attributes for
. the associated sewer line will be recorded to a separate database along with the year installed,
contractor, engineering company, pipe type, pipe diameter, invert from, invert to, slope, length,
gravity, force main, and scan name. Gathering this information in one data entry step improves
digitizing efficiency. A custom Avenue script will use this information along with the locations
of the digitized manholes to automatically create a sewer line shapefile based on upstream and
downstream manhole identifiers.

Throughout this project, every effort will be made to ensure that a reliable and useable product is
produced. An important part of those efforts include quality assurance and quality control.
Oversight and review at each step of the process will help to prevent systematic mistakes.
Automated QA/QC will include automatic data validation discussed earlier and data scans
performed on the new GIS data.
.
Automatically scan new GIS data to identify potential data entry errors.
Once digitizing has been completed, KHAFRA will develop the necessary scripts to scan the
new GIS data to verify data integrity. The first of these scans will deternline sewer line lengths
and compare that to the length entered through data entry. The slope will also be calculated and
compared. Discrepancies that exceed an acceptable tolerance (to be decided with input from
Augusta) will be further investigated and corrected.
.
Identify discrepancies between existing GIS and new GIS data.
Once the new GIS data has been verified and found to be accurate, the relative distance
between features of the new GIS data and the existing GIS data will be determined. If this
distance exceeds an Augusta-specifiedtolerance, the feature will be flagged and a map will be
produced for Augusta investigation.
· Turn over maps of discrepancies to Augusta for clarification.
. Augusta personnel will clarify'any discrepancies between existing GIS data (GPS-located)-and
the as-built information (digitized).
· Update GIS data based on Augusta's findings.
Upon receipt of these clarifications, KHAFRA will update the GIS information accordingly.
~ INTEGRATE NEW GIS DATA WITH EXISTING GIS DATA
Following QA/QC review, Augusta's GIS data will be updated based on the following:
· For new features located within an acceptable Augusta-specified tolerance of old features,
populate existing GIS feature with new data.
When features are found to be co-located, any information recorded by KHAFRA that is not
already present in the existing GIS data will be recorded in the Augusta GIS data.
· For new features not in the existing GIS system, add new GIS feature and data.
Any features digitized by KHAFRA but not currently in the Augusta GIS data will be added
to the Augusta GIS data.
· Update rim elevations based on topographic interpolation.
For any sewer system manhole features that do not have rim-elevations, KHAFRA will
automatically interpolate an elevation using existing GIS topographic information and the
ArcView 3-D Analyst extension. A data qualification field will be added to the manhole
database that uses a schema approved by Augusta to identify the accuracy of the rim elevation.
One such option would be 4 (highest level of accuracy) for surVeyed elevation, 3 for GPS
recorded elevation, 2 for as-built information, and 1 (lowest level of accuracy) for interpolated
elevation.
