DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Init
The Programming Document (hereinafter referred as "PROGRAM") will guide the design of a
new Judicial Center for Augusta. The new Center will bolster the Augusta's ability to efficiently
and safely attend to criminal justice, juvenile court, domestic litigation, civil litigation, and other
legal matters. A primary benefit to achievement of this goal is a reduction of the County's
burgeoning pre-trial jail population.
The existing justice facilities are scattered about in several facilities in differing locations. Courts
are contained in two facilities, the Main CourthouselMunicipal Building, located at 530 Greene
Street in downtown Augusta, and the Law Enforcement Center, located at 401 Walton Way. The
Greene Street facility is approximately 50 years old, and has several glaring deficiencies, most
notably the lack of modern courtroom technology, HVAC systems, and effective integration of
modern security planning principles. The Walton Way facility is only approximately 25 years old,
but suffers from a plethora of moisture-related problems prompting the County to plan for the
future abandonment of the building.

The Solicitor General is housed in the Walton Way facility. The District Attorney occupies a
portion of a leased office building on Greene Street, while the Public Defender also occupies
leased space remote from the court facilities.
It is the goal of the County to consolidate all jUdicial operations into a single Center. This
includes Superior, State, Juvenile, Civil/Magistrate and Probate Courts. It also includes the
various Court Clerks, Court Support, the District Attorney, Solicitor General, Public Defender
and Marshal.
The voters of Augusta have approved a total of $60.02M in two SPLOST referenda, towards the
new Judicial Center. Approximately $2.9M of that amount has been expended on land
acquisition and other pre-design costs, leaving a total project budget balance of approximately
$54.5M. This budget must cover all remaining hard and soft costs.
The PROGRAM will be a pre-design document that includes general planning criteria and a
description of activities, concepts and physical space estimates for the proposed new Judicial
Center. It will also define parking requirements and projected land use for the approximately
14.5 acres purchased with project funds. Its primary purpose is to:
. Provide the Augusta-Richmond County Commission, the Judicial Committee and the
community with a detailed description of the facilities and funding needed to
accommodate the new Judicial Center, both in terms of present needs (defined as
Year 2010) and future needs (defined as Year 2025);
. Provide Augusta Richmond County policymakers with a recommended approach to
meeting the current facility needs of the judicial and related operations respective of
the fixed budgetary constraints;
. Provide the functional and regulatory criteria to be addressed, the construction
budget and the overall project schedule as a starting point for subsequent design
phases;
. Provide Judicial Committee and building users with a reference manual from which
to discuss and evaluate design schemes, and from which to develop administrative
and organizational policies for the new facility and
Provide a preliminary site analysis and land use recommendations for the project's associated
land, stretching from Walton Way to Walker Street, along the west side of James Brown
Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
The architect engaged by Augusta, Turner Associates in association with Ricci Greene and The
Woodhurst Partnership, prepared a program entitled "Project Definition," dated November 26,
2003. This document includes studies of functional requirements, space requirements,
courtroomslcourtsets, building planning options and site analysis. Because this document is
less than 4 years old, much of the analysis and underlying work is transferable to the final
PROGRAM.
The aforementioned Project Definition recommended a 300,000 GSF building which was based
on a prediction of substantial growth in judicial and related staff. In recognition of the limited
funding available, the Project Definition's staffing and building size recommendations are to be
considered obsolete. The revised PROGRAM will establish updated staffing levels using current
information. These figures will be translated into revised space programming data for the Years

ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task A : Based on the staffing forecast provided for 2010, the Architect will provide a 2010 program to reflect the
2010 projected need. As noted above, this program shall be in a similar format as the 2003 document and shall
reflect modifications to the entries for Net Square Footage, Net Occupiable Square Footage and Gross Square
Footage based on the Architect's estimated grossing factors.
Task B: Based on the staffing forecast provided for 2010, the Architect will also provide a staffing forecast and
associated 2025 program at a macroldepartmentallevel to reflect a 2025 projected need. The program shall be in a
similar format to the 2003 document and sball reflect modifications to the entries for Net Square Footage, Net
Occupiable Square Footage and Gross Square Footage based on the Architect's estimated grossing factors.
The staffing forecast will be based on empirical data (as requested by the Architect) provided by the
Owner, per methodologies consistent with the standard of care for making said projections and per input/direction
provided by the Judicial Committee.
Task C: Relative to the programs, the Architect shall make an initial assessment relative to the extent to
which said programs could feasibly be designed and built per the currently available funding. The Architect's
assessment shall be based on a cost estimate similar to (relative to format and the level of detail & accuracy) as those
provided in the June 18. 2007 presentation for the ARC Judicial Center. The Architect's cost estimates shall
reflect cost escalation relative to the assumed date of construction.
The Architect shall assume that the Owner's project budget is $54,500,000 (per currently available
funding) and, for purposes of the assessment, that the Owner will desire a relatively average/medium level of
quality.
Based on the studies performed to date, it is assumed that a complete 2025 program could not feasibly be
designed and built per the currently available funding.
The Architect's initial assessment shall be made prior to the preparation of blocking/stacking diagrams and
prior to the preparation of site studies.
The Architect will require the Owner's approval of the assessment prior to proceeding with further
services.
Task Dt Option 1: If per the Architect's initial assessment the complete 2010 program can reasonably be designed
and built with the currently available funding, then the Architect shall proceed accordingly with concept drawingt
stacking/blocking diagrams and cost estimates. Blocking/stacking diagrams, site studies and a cost estimate shall
be prepared for the complete 2010 program. Single-line, concept floor plans will be developed to the same extent as
in the 2003 "Project Definition" document.
Task D, Option 2: If per the Architect's initial assessment there is a possibility that the complete 2010
program cannot be designed and built with the currently available funding, then the Architect shall recommend a
revised 2010 program that would, if necessary, allow for the construction of the 2010 program in two phases and
upon approval of the Judicial Committee shall proceed accordingly with concept drawing, stacking/blocking
diagrams and cost estimates. Subject to direction from the Commission and the Judicial Committee, the Architect
shall recommend the portions of the program to be included in each phase (if phasing is required) based on the goal
of optimizing the total combined value of both phases of the project through minimizing the total cost required
for both phases of construction based on studies to date which indicate that the most value will be realized if spaces
with similar functional & operational requirements (such as courtrooms) are grouped together in one phase of work.

essentially the same time.
A separate cost estimate (with associated blocking/stacking diagrams and site studies) shall also be
prepared for only the possible fIrst phase of the 2010 program. The Architect's cost estimates shall reflect cost
escalation relative to the planned date of construction; the planned date of construction relative to the phasing of any
work shall be based on Owner direction relative to the planned availability of funding.
Single-line, concept floor plans will be developed to the same extent as in the 2003 "Project Definition"
document.

Task D, Option 3: If per the Architect's initial assessment there is a possibility that the complete 2010
program cannot be designed and built with the currently available funding, then the Architect shall recommend a
revised 2010 program that would, if necessary, allow for the construction of the 2010 program in two phases and
upon approval of the Judicial Committee shall proceed accordingly with concept drawing, stackinglblocking
diagrams and cost estimates. Subject to direction from the Commission and the Judicial Committee, the Architect
shall recommend the portions of the program to be included in each phase (if phasing is required) based on the goal
of combining needed courtroom facilities with needed offIces for the District Attorney and Solicitor, and other
support facilities. Architect shall recommend the portions of the program to be included in each phase (if phasing is
required) based on the goal of optimizing the total combined value of both phases of the project.
Blocking/stacking diagrams, site studies and a cost estimate shall be prepared for 2010 program (inclusive
of the two phases); this estimate will assume that both "phases" of the project will be built by the same Contractor
at essentially the same time.
A separate cost estimate (with associated blocking/stacking diagrams and site studies) shall also be
prepared for only the possible first phase of the 2010 program. The Architect's cost estimates shall reflect cost
escalation relative to the planned date of construction; the planned date of construction relative to the phasing of any
work shall be based on Owner direction relative to the planned availability of funding.
Single-line, concept floor plans will be developed to the same extent as in the 2003 "Project Definition"
document.
Task E: The Architect shall also shall also prepare studies relative to the 2025 program.
Said studies shall be limited to preparing site studies to show the feasibility of providing for the additional program
building area on the currently available site to demonstrate its compatibility with the design per both phases of
the 2010 program. Said site studies shall also address the feasibility of providing for future requirements relative to
parking and the utility infrastructure.
Blocking/stacking diagrams for the 2025 program, and other more detailed studies, are not currently
included in the pre-design services.
If requested, a preliminary cost estimate will be prepared for the 2025 Phase 3 program based on an Owner
provided assumed date for construction.
