The project area as identified in Addendum # I has two significant conveyance systems which carry storm water out of the drainage b()sin. The overall topography of the basin is relatively flat resulting in localized propelty flooding ,1I1d standing water along some roadway sections. Portions of the drainage area have no defined conveyance system and the culverts and the swales that do exist around some residential dwellings have severe m;1 i ntenance needs. Portions of the ex isti ng drainage system appear to encroach on private property or arc adjacent to residential dwellings; therefore public relations \vill be an important component to the project. While localized flooding and citizen safety/well-being are the primary concerns, the proposed drainage improvements should minimize the water quality impacts to Rock Creek and ultimately Phinizy Swamp. WI( Dickson has the breadth of resources to provide expeltise in roadway and drainage design, utility coordination, water quality, permitting, and surveying. Our process for this project will involve the following outline: ~ Initial meetings with City Staff to define problem areas and flooding complaints. (2 meeti ngs) ~ Field mapping of existing systems and previous survey data of existing coverages for the area. ~ Public involvement with mailings and meetings. ;. System modeling to define system deficiencies. ~ Conceptual improvement recommendations. ~ Development of 60% and 90% plans. .~ Fi nal construction plans. FIELD INVESTIGATION AND SURVEYING SERVICES To properly conduct the analysis, modeling and design of the Wilkinson Garden Area Roadway & Drainage Improvements it will be critical to review any existing data from previous surveys, supplement and update this data where necessary and complete an inventory of the existing storm water infrastructure. WK Dickson will perform new aerial photography for base mapping, perform GPS data collection as well as conventional surveys to collect attribute and location information for each storm water drainage feature where required. Connectivity will be established where necessary, for all inventoried features to aid in dnlinage improvements. EX IS'fING DATA COiVJPI LATION \VI< Did.son has reviewed the existing data previously prepared for this area by Khafra Engineering Consultants. rnc. prepared in February, 2005. This data contains cross-section and topographic information (('I' the roads \vithin the project as well as locations and elevations for most of the storm watcr structures. 'I"his data \\illneed to be I~eld verified for accuracy. horizontal and vertical datums verified. missing structures identified and located and required supplemental inf()rInation surveyed. As we are using. the data prepared in 2005 and supplementing to that data. we will rotate and assume the horizontal and vertical control to match that dat~1.

Tubman I-lame Roads and Cordon Highway. This will be used to develop new topographical mapping of the entire area at a 1 "=50' horizontal scale with I' foot contours. All planimetric features visible will be captured ,IS well in accordance with ASPRS Class II standards. In addition new color orihophotos at a ',.S foot pixel resolution \vill be created for the area. In critical areas obscured by vegetation additional field surveys wi II be performed to supplement the aeria I mapping data. 1'h is data wi II be used as the base mapping and for determination of storm water drainage where necessary. FIELD DATA COMPILIA'fION In addition to the verification and surveys mentioned above, surveys will be performed to obtain downstream data of the two outlets for the neighborhood, which cross under Cordon Highway. The first outlet is a 24 inch pipe in the ramp area of'Cordon Highway. This pipe heads southeast and connects to a j unct ion box on the south side of Cordon H igh\vay and another 24 inch pi pe leads southeasterly a way from this to an unknown location. The second crossing is a 49 inch by 33 inch corrugated metal pipe arch located between Croft Road and Gordon Highway. This pipe connects to ajunction box and a manhole near a restaurant at Olive Road and Gordon Highway. The pipe leads from the manhole going easterly to an unknown location across Gordon Highway. Both of these pipes eventually discharge into ditches that lead to the Phinizy Swamp Area. If needed new topographic data will be obtained in the areas identified as potential detention ponds. This will include locations of adjoining parcels which may be affected by easement areas. The City will be responsible for assisting in mass mailing, providing names and addresses for properiy owners hom GIS system and coordination of mai I notice forms to property owners allowi ng our surveyors access to their properties and coordinating public meetings. bamp les of potential storm water structures to be located, photographed, mapped and data detai Is collected and surveyed are I isted below: ~ Manholes / junction structures: type, location, elevations of the top and invert. · Inlets! catch hasins: type, size and depth, location; elevations of top invert, material and condition · Pipes: size, slope. length, type material. condition, location and elevation for entrance and exit. .

A connectivity diagram shall be developed and integrated into a GIS database. The connectivity diagram will; incorporate all streams and channel segrnents center line(s), structures, and indicate hmv the infrastructures systell1(s) nows are interconnected. WK Dicksoll will delineate drainage patterns and locate sub-basin(s) based on the location of the drainage conveyance syst'em, most recent topography, land cover and infrastructure. Photographs of inventoried data \vill be hyper-linked to the spatial coordinates of each open and closed system conveyance point. (;l~'; INCORPOHATI()N \VI( Dickson will provide the City with the storm water system data andmetadata for incorpor3tion into the e,jsting City CIS systelll. WKD will also use the inventory data to begin the modeling and design phases of the project. F.\SEMFNT PLA'I"fING WK Dickson will prepare easement plats for any proposed detention areas (2-3 total). All parcels affected by easements will be surveyed and individual plats (estimated 15) will be prepared. \VATERSIIED EVALUATION WK Dickson \vill revie\v all information provided by the City of Augusta including the Wilkinson Garden Area Road & Drainage Improvements Study & Master Plan, existing and future land LIse maps and the community facility and services information. This information will be modified\added to as necessary to provide the hydraulic information required to model the various portions of the project area. For modeling purposes, WK Dickson will utilize the US Army Corp. of Engineers HEC-HMS model (or approved City model) to develop hydrologic characteristics and peak flows for the various storm events lor each sub basin unless otherwise directed by the City. The watershed characteristics will be identified in a mallller consistent with Soil Conservation Service Methodologies and City of Augusta policy and proceclmc. When possible, WK Dickson will utilize the watershed characteristics compiled and developed during the preliminary stages for this project area, Proposed land uses will be confirmed frol11 information provided by the City. Soil characteristics will be determined from SCS soil survey maps unless the City of Augusta has more detailed or accurate soil data available. Design rainfall data ,viII be taken from City of Augusta publ ished data if avai lable: otherwise Technical Paper - 40, Rainfall Frequency atlas of the U.S. will be utilized. Specific storm events that will be evaluated include the 2-,5-,25-,50-, and 100 year, 24 hour events. Ilyd ro logic parameters wi II be ca Iculatedusi ng standard engi neeri ng practice and be in accordance with City of Augusta policy and procedures. Hydrologic parameters calculated during the preliminary plan effort \vill be reviC\ved and used when appropriate. Results will be presented in the form 01" a detailed computer spreadsheet thai r'eferences a model schematic. The table and model schematic will be organized in the planning report. and will include at a minimulll lhe following parameters: .

Upon acceptance of the hydrology by the City, WK Dickson will complete the hydraulic analysis using programs such as StormCAD or hydranow. WK Dickson will analyze the entire system as a whole hased ore of a tai Iwater condition from Rocky Creek. Water surface profiles will be calculated for each storm event modeled in the hydrologic analysis throughout the system based on the tail water. head losses associated with roughness and entrance and exit losses, slope and conveyance capacity. PUBLIC INPFf Stakeholders in the comlllunity must be involved in the planning process to build consensus for the project improvements. The proposed WK Dickson team is comprised of techn ical experts that understand the im porta nce of keepi ng the publ ic infcmlled throughout the entire project. Targetedmai I ings wi II be sent to each homeowner in the project area to brielly describe the project, solicit feedback on any tlooding problems in the area and invite the homeowners to a cOlllmunity meeting. The name and address data base will be provided by the City and WK Dickson will organize a mass mailing with questionnaires. WK Dickson will hold two (2) community meetings to keep the public informed, gather information, receive input. and build consensus for the project. The first public meeting will occur at the end of the data acquisition phase. Feedback from the public on the conceptual plan will help form the basis in the modeling and design phases. The second public meeting \vill occur when the plans are approximately 90% complete, so that the community can have an opportunity to comment prior to preparing final plans. ThroughoLlt lhe design process, WK Dickson will be meeting individually with select property owners whose properties wi II be impacted by the proposed i mprovelllents to educate them on those issues. Every effort will be made to minimize the impact to private property, landscaping, and vegetation. PERi\lITTING STRATEGY Wetlands and streams are regulated by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) through the 404 permit program. Add it ion ally Georgia regu lates stream buffers and water qual ity through the 401 certification program. As with any project that involves water resources, a permitting strategy is critical to avoiding costly delays. Anticipated permits for the Wilkinson Garden project include a 404 permit. 401 certificatioll, and compliance ",,:ith the Georgia Stream Buffer rules. The WK Dickson project team has extensive experience \vorking with local, state and federal agencies on complex projects \vhich will benefit the City lhrough the regulatory approval process. We will work diligently with the City to reduce the risk of schedule delays resulting from agency review. The perlllitting Slrategy for the Wilkinson Garden project involves three key tasks: 1- Initial <1sseSSll1eni ;lI1d (kiiIK'<ltion. 2- \Vetland report H11d jurisdictional deterlllination request submittal, and 3.. Permit applicatlui1. Th~: initial assessment and delineation task will include it gcner<1! assessment of the watershed and detailed delineation el('wattTS of the US (streams and wetlands) occurring within the project area. The delineation will follow the USACE 1C)87 manllal and include several detailed wetland data points and photograph" Follc1\\ing survey of delineated streams and wetlands Task 2 will include preparation ane! submittal of Ii \\etland report <lndjul'isdictional determination (JD) I'equest.

If necessary, 'l'ask 2 and Task 3 can be pursued simultaneously to accelerate the permitting process. FEASIBIiXI'Y REPORT AND elP Based upon results of the vvatershcd evaluation as well as feedback from the public and the City, existing flooding problems will be identified within each basin. Portions of the storm drainage system not mceting City design standards will be identit~ed and prioritized for possible improvements. Flooding problems specified in the homeowner questionnaires and through any additional feedback from the community \vill be cross-referenced to the results from the watershed evaluation. Once the problem areas to be addressed by the study have been identit~ed, broad improvement options will be considered. These options include, but are not limited to: upgrade of the entire drainage system improvements to meet City design criteria for new development; upgrade of portions of the drainage system to Icsser design standards; use of alternative best management practices for water quantity and quality col1trol. such as bio-retention areas: and alternative alignments and materials to minimize construction cost and impacts to private property and transportation systems. When possible, innovative solutions \vill be considered to reduce cost and provide solutions that optimize the drainage system's capacity/functionality and long..term condition while balancing the important issues of neighborhood aesthetics and public relations. Specific alternative improvements to reduce street flooding and to bring the drainage system up to City standards will be developed, evaluated for feasibility, and carefully vveighed. Ultimately, a system which prioritizes the projects based on key criteria developed with the City, with clear justification will be the end result. Throughout this process, impacts to the neighborhood and property owners will be considered. Results of the existing conditions analysis and the future conditions analysis for t~nal design will be provided in a brief report accompanied by conceptual plan sheets. It is expected that sheets showing the pi'Oposed improvements and proposed water surface profiles will be part of the final submittal. Information \vill be neatly organized beginning with a cover sheet that summarizes the entire plan package and serves as iI quick reference to the subsequent sheets. Each sheet will have a title block \Nith page numbers that reference the cover sheet as well as a legend to identify symbols utilized during the study. An alphanumeric system in lugical sequence from downstream to upstream within the basin will be utilized to specify existing and proposed basins, structures, and recommended storm water improvement locations. To the extent possible. a mapping system consistent with City of Augusta standards will be utilized. Capital costs for drainage improvements shall include at a minimum, installation of the follo\ving elements: storm drainage improvements, channel stabilization materials. grading, necessary street improvements. water and sewer utility relocations. erosion and sediment controlmcasures. traffic controlmeasurcs, miscellaneous items (e.g. fencing. walls. etc.), easement acquisition estimates. and design costs. CEOTT:CI-INICAL EVALUATIONS Per (lllr initi<ll conversations with the staff during the contract negotiation phases we are recommending. Ihat a two ph~lSC ~lppro(lCh to geotechnical exploration be used in this project. We will subcontract the gelltechnical services for this contract on behalfot'the city and will bill the services as a reimbursable cost tu tht: ()\\ncl'. [ach phase of geotechnical expk>ration will be associated with a task order of scope ~1I1d fee ;}~~!'et'd 011 b: the o\\ner. Our recommendations are that an initial investigation including lip to appn1\inlatcl: 6 hand augers he perl~)rmed ill key locations to evaluate material type, bkm counts and grc11lIlch\;1ter conditions. This \\ill be perj~)rll1cd during the initial concept phases of the project and \\ill be Page 6 of 13 Affi'(!sJQl::l WiT~in~l1 ~Pden Area Roadway Drainage Improvements - Mar 09 ;;~1~.~ '(~')\ ~. ' '," .'~) \,~,:~~~/ incorporated into the concept evaluations. The second round of geotechnical evaluations will be performed before the 60'}-;j design begins and will be more specific in nature and pointed at the conceptual construction recommendations. Again at that point specific scope and fee task orders will be reviewed with the owner. CO.'\STRFrlON DOClI!VI EN'l'S WK Dickson '.vill prepare construction documents at the 60,90 and 100% levels for the recommended imprnvclllenls for drainage. The plans will be prepared in accordance with the local and state requirements :tnd will be compiled in a fashion that will be biddable as a single phase construction contract. It is anticipated that the city will be working with approximately a $3,000,000.00 total project CIP for this project and our designs and revievvs will be limited to keeping the client within that window offunding at each review point in the schedule. QUA.LlTY CONTROL AND SCHEDULING WK Dickson will provide our internal quality control for this project that will utilize all of our tools for assuring accuracy in our predictions. These items will include periodic internal project manager and team member reviews of data and calculations to assure quality answers to our drainage problems. Most importantly, our local staff will provide ground truthing through local knowledge and field evaluations to justify our findings. EXPEHIFNC'[ WI<. Dickson can offer the City the full range of expertise needed to plan and design a successful roadway and drainage infrastructure project. Our proposed project team is comprised of experienced individuals from three separate practice groups, Our Stormwatt'l' Group has unrivaled experience in planning, model i ng. and design ing storm water systems throughout the Southeast. The '1','a nspol'tatioll G roup has extensive experience in roadway layout and design, traffic analysis and planning. The Geomatj('s Group uses the latest GIS. GPS, and surveying technologies on projects including topographic and boundary surveys. Team members from these groups work seamlessly together on a daily basis allovving WK Dickson to meet challenges throughout the project and maintain aggressive schedules. UNDERSTANDING HIVER VALLEY IIYDRAULIC'S AND (.fYDJ{()LOGY Drainage systems in this area are unlike drainage systems in the Piedmont or Mountain areas of Georgia and require a strong understanding of the differences to successfully know how to map a system in this environment. Specifically. establishing a defined drainage system with tlat topography is challenging ror a coastal cOlllnlllnity. Our experience with various river drainage projects for municipalities including Sav3nllclh. \\/ilmington. Jacksonville. Nags I-lead. Southport, Hilton Head. and Myrtle Beach will provide the City with a team that has unparalleled experience in planning and designing coastal storm water s\slems.

RFQ #07.114 1. APPROACH TO PROJECT WK Dickson proposes the following project approach and methodology to the City of Augusta for assistance with the Wilkinson Garden Area Roadway and Drainage Improvements. The project area as identified in Addendum #1 has two significant conveyance systems which carry storm water out of the drainage basin. The overall topography of the basin is relatively flat resulting in localized property flooding and standing water along some roadway sections. Portions of the drainage area have no defined conveyance system and the cu Iverts and the swales that do exist around some residential dwellings have severe maintenance needs. Portions of the existing drainage system appear to encroach on private property or are adjacent to residential dwellings; therefore public relations will be an important component to the project. While localized flooding and citizen safety/well-being are the primary concerns, the proposed drainage improvements should minimize the water quality impacts to Rock Creek and ultimately Phinizy Swamp. WK Dickson has the breadth of resources to provide expertise in roadway and drainage design, utility coordination, water quality, permitting, and surveying. Our process for this project will involve the following outline: ~ Initial meetings with City Staff to define problem areas and flooding complaints. (2 meetings) ~ Field mapping of existing systems and previous survey data of existing coverages for the area. ~ Public involvement with mailings and meetings. ~ System modeling to define system deficiencies. ~ Conceptual improvement recommendations. ~ Development of 60% and 90% plans. ~ Final construction plans. FIELD INVESTIGATION AND SURVEYING SERVICES To properly conduct the analysis, modeling and design of the Wilkinson Garden Area Roadway & Drainage Improvements it will be critical to review any existing data from orevious surveys supplement and update this data where necessary and complete an inventory of the existing storm water infrastructure. WK Dickson will perform new aerial photography for base mapping, perform GPS data collection as well as conventional surveys to collect attribute and location information for each storm water drainage feature where required. Connectivity will be established for all inventoried features to aid in drainage improvements. EXISTING DATA COMPilATION WKD has reviewed the existing data previously prepared for this area by Khafra Engineering Consultants, Inc, prepared in February, 2005. This data contains cross-section and topographic information for the roads within the project as well as locations and elevations for most of the storm water structures. This data will need to be field verified for accuracy, horizontal and vertical datums verified, missing structures identified and located and required supplemental information surveyed. SURVEYING AND INVENTORY The City will be responsible for notifying property owners to allow for crews access to private property to collect data. WATERSHED EVALUATION WK Dickson will review all information provided by the City of Augusta including the Wilkinson Garden Area Road & Drainage Improvements Study & Master Plan, existing and future land use maps and the community facility and services information. This information will be modified\added to as necessary to provide the hydraulic information required to model the various portions of the project area. For modeling purposes, WK Dickson will utilize the US Army Corp. of Engineers HEC-1 or HEC- HMS model (or approved City model) to develop hydrologic characteristics and peak flows for the various storm events for each sub basin unless 121 .\l\/I"( ~if''')I'''''''''!.'~''.'''''j\Iol ..~ L, . l.., .\.

EXPERIENCE construction administration services for the first phase of the improvements. As part of this project, performed hydraulic/hydrologic analysis of the contributing watershed to determine existing and future flow and flood characteristics for the 2-, 10-,25-, 50- and 100-year storm events. Second phase of the project included development of ClP construction documents, public meetings, utility relocation/design, 401/ 404 permitting, traffic control, erosion control, structural design, CLOMR submittal and agency coordination. Contact: Dave Mayes, PE City of Wilmington 919.341.7087 JEFFERSON CIP - CHARLOTTE, NC Project included hydrologic/hydraulic analysis of a 1.6 square mile watershed. Modeled 21,000 LF of open channel to evaluate existing structure and 10 dams to evaluate existing hydraulic capabilities of the system as well as impact if dam breach occurred. Project also included evaluation of 18 culverts 15,000 LF of closed system storm drainage facilities, and 5,000 LF of roadside ditches.
