'TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Authority
This proposal is authorized by the City of Augusta purchasing department as stated in
(3) three letters dated July 11, 2003 from Geri Sams [City of Augusta] to Avery Sarden
[PRAD] for projects 10162, 50070, and 10166, respectively, pursuant to RFQ 02-217A.
These projects are classified as 2002 Bond Projects.
BACKGROUND
PRAD GROUP [PRAD] has met with City representatives, City staff, performed visual
surveys, and submitted a representative project for City review. We completely
understand all aspects of the work, requirements, and City expectations.
On September 25, 2003, we walked each project with Mr. Thies to perform a heads-up,
eyes-open visual survey of the project areas. In advance of our visual survey, PRAD
requested utility markings, to eastablish route feasability.
On October 14, we met with Mr. Hicks (Augusta Utilities Department) and Mr. Scott
(Ch2M Hill) to further clarify the scope of services, review a recent water and sewer
project, and to discuss ways to minimize engineering expense.. We agreed that cost
would be saved preparing a single contract and utilizing local professional labor to the
extent possible. The attached cost summary reflects the cost saving measures
discussed at our meeting.
OVERALL PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
PRAD GROUP will provide all professional services as stated in MAJOR PROJECTS
CONSUL TANT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA (CITY)
AND CONSUL TANT -Revised February 5,2001. No exception is taken to project
requirements as stated.
PROJECT NAME CHANGE
PRAD GROUP understands that reference to "Kings Chapel" will be understood to
mean "Crane Ferry". We concur with PM's recommendation to correctly relate the
project name to its physical location and will replace the name "Kings Chapel" with the
name "Crane Ferry".

'TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
PROJECT DELINEATION
We take exception to the delineation of Beaver Drive Sewer Improvement, as shown on
Project 50070. The nearest point of discharge is about 800 feet North of Beaver Drive,
at an existing sewer manhole, in a subdivision street, near a relatively small creek
crossing. This means that additional sewer and related services are necessary for this
outfall sewer. These additional outfall sewer services include wetland delineation,
environmental permitting, surveying in rough terrain, and engineering design.
The Pleasant Home road waterline is to be aligned on the west side. This route is
desirable since it offers the best economy of construction by comparison to the other
side of the street.
The Crane Ferry waterline is to be aligned on the north side. This route is desirable
since it offers the best economy of construction by comparison to the other side of the
street.
PRADSUBCONSULTANT
PRAD will engage the services of William R. Gore Professional Land Surveyors, Inc,
located at 1804 Central Avenue, Augusta, GA 30904, Phone 706 738 8771, Fax 706
7366249 to perform the necessary field surveys, record research, plat preparation,
legal descriptions, and provide necessary professional land surveying services. Our
point of contact will be Randy Gore. Alternatively, we may engage the services of
Cranston, Robertson, & Whitehurst, P.C. We anticipate that about 6 easements and/or
condemnation plats will be required.
PRAD may engage Ecological Solutions, Roswell, Georgia as an alternative to available
professional labor located in Augusta, GA to perform wetlands, 401, and other
permitting scope required to engineer the Beaver Creek Sewer.
CITY SUBCONSULTANT
PRAD understands the City will pay for the services of a qualified geotechnical engineer
to perform subsurface investigations, prepare soils reports, perform laboratory analysis,
and provide other related services as need arises.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
CITY LAND ACQUISITION SERVICES
PRAD understands that the City will provide land acquisition services for areas PRAD
determines to be necessary for construction. The unit cost for each take will be as is
shown on the cost summary to cover the cost of detailed surveying, marking the route if
requested by property owner, coordination with City land agent, and helping the City
promote good community relations by answering questions and clarifying plans.
We urge the City to send survey letters to off road property owners on the North side of
Beaver Creek Drive in advance of survey field activities.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
Our scope of services intentionally omits construction phase services. We understand
that the necessary services will be clarified when the construction documents are at a
substantial level of completion and land acquisition activities are completed.
CITY REVIEW PERIODS
PRAD assumes that submittals will be returned, no later than 30 Calendar days after
PRAD transmits deliverables to the City.
PRAD PERFORMANCE PERIODS
PRAD will deliver a 30% Design Memorandum NL T 14 days after the notice to proceed.
60% Plans and Specifications NL T 60 days after receipt of 30% review comments,
assuming reasonably good availability to mobilize survey forces. 90% Plans &
Specifications NL T 30 days after receipt of 60% review comments. Bid Documents NL T .
14 days after receipt of 90% review comments. The total performance period should
not exceed 3.5 months, barring unforeseen survey mobilization delays.
With expeditious City review, we believe that a completion target 6 months from the
notice to proceed is realistic.
COMMUNICATION
PRAD encourages the PM & City staff to freely communicate with PRAD informally
wherever possible. PRAD's point of contact will be Russell Thies at 7063124132, Fax
7063124133, email: rthies@augustaga.gov.
