Re: Proposal for Design of Water and Sewer Relocation
Davis Road from Washington Road to Robert C. Daniel Parkway
1-20/1-520 Interchange Improvements
Gentlemen:
GENERAL CIVIL
TRANSPORTATION
ENVIRONMENTAL
GEOGRAPHIC SCIENCES
Pursuant to our meeting at your office on June 19 where we discussed the referenced projects, we are
hereby submitting the attached proposed scope of services and fee. This scope and fee is for the design of
the water and sewer line relocation made necessary by the roadway improvements that we are designing for
the Georgia Department of Transportation. Our proposed fee for these services is a lump sum amount of
$77,053.00.
With our familiarity ofthese two projects and the extensive field data that we have on hand, we feel we are
in a unique position to provide quality services to Augusta Utilities for the design of your facilities. As you
know, we have experience throughout the state doing just this type of work.
In anticipation of working with the City of Augusta, we forwarded the Consultant Services Agreement that
you provided to our legal department for review. There are three items within the General Conditions that
make us uncomfortable:
1. Section 6 - Confidentiality. There is a conflict here. This section requires that all materials be
kept confidential. However, under Section 7, all records are public records. To fix this, we suggest the
following paragraph be added to this section:
. CONSULT ANT shall not be restricted in any way from releasing information, including
proprietary information, in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
CONUL T ANT shall not be required to resist such subpoena, court order, or legal process, but shall
promptly notify CITY in writing of the demand for information before CONSULTANT responds to
such demand. CITY may, at its sole discretion, seek to quash such demand,
2. Section 14, Paragraph 1. I believe the word "ensure" should be "insure."

-,
3. Also Section 14, last paragraph. G&O can not name the City as co-insured. That would mean
that our insurance would cover the City for the City's own acts. We can name the City as an
additional insured. That means that the City may make a claim against G&O's underwriter for
damages G&O causes to the City.
Please consider these comments. Ifnecessary, we can put our legal department in touch with the City for
further discussion.
We look forward to discussing this proposal with you at your earliest convenience and answering any
questions you might have about the proposal or the projects in general.
Sincerely,
GREENHORNE & O'MARA, INC.
