Since I have been denied any avenue for AFO to have a say in this process,
I will take my concerns to the public and although it is clear that you
all have already made the choice to move forward with this job killing
ordinance and fees, it will not be without at least public input and
opposition from me, how ever little that apparently means to you.
I am submitting a request to be on the agenda as a delegation for the next
meeting, and if I can't get out what I need in five minutes, I will come
back again and again until I have our say.
To say I am disappointed in your manipulation of this would be an
understatement, but I will not be fooled again sir.
Good day,
Brad

as to specify additional safety equipment to be included on
Personal Transportation Vehicles (PTVs) that operate on

by Public Services Committee July 9, 2019)
Background:The current Personal Transportation Vehicle ordinance requires
that Commercial PTVs must have four-wheel disc brakes. The
vehicle manufacturers do not build all PTVs with this braking
system.
Analysis:The information that we received explains that the braking
system on smaller ‘golf car’ size Commercial PTVs is sufficient
for the vehicle’s weight and maximum speed, and hydraulic
braking systems are not required. The proposed hydraulic
braking system for the larger six passenger or more PTVs will
provide an enhanced safety profile while allowing manufacturers
to easily offer a range of PTV models.

DBE PROGRAM
DANIEL FIELD AIRPORT
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
POLICY STATEMENT
Objectives /Policy Statement (§§26.1, 26.23)
August, Georgia, (Sponsor) owner of the Daniel Field Airport, has established a Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) program in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR Part 26. The Sponsor has received Federal financial assistance
from the Federal Aviation Administration, and is anticipating awarding prime contracts in excess
of $250,000.00 during this Fiscal Year and, as a condition of receiving this assistance, has signed
an assurance that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26.
It is the policy of the Sponsor to ensure that DBEs, as defined in Part 26, have an equal
opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted contracts. It is also our policy:
1. To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts;
2. To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts;
3. To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;
4. To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to
participate as DBEs;
5. To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts; and
6. To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside
the DBE Program;
7. To provide appropriate flexibility to recipients of Federal financial assistance in establishing
and providing opportunities for DBEs and;
8. To promote the use of DBEs in all types of federally-assisted contract and procurement
activities.
Ms. Treza Edwards, Director, Augusta, Georgia Compliance Department has been delegated as
the DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO) and is responsible for implementing all aspects of the DBE
program. Implementation of the DBE program is accorded the same priority as compliance with
all other legal obligations incurred by the Sponsor in its financial assistance agreements with the
Federal Aviation Administration.
The Sponsor has disseminated this policy statement to all branches of the Sponsor’s government,
and posted it for public viewing. It will be distributed to DBE and non-DBE communities that
perform work for the Sponsor on DOT-assisted contracts by website postings of the public
notice.

Caption:Motion to approve of the Daniel Field Airport DBE
(Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) Program to include Mayor
Davis signing the Policy Statement. (Approved by Public
Services Committee July 9, 2019)
Background:Augusta, Georgia, (Sponsor) owner of the Daniel Field Airport,
has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
program in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT), 49 CFR Part 26. The Sponsor has
received Federal financial assistance from the Federal Aviation
Administration, and is anticipating awarding prime contracts in
excess of $250,000.00 during this Fiscal Year and, as a
condition of receiving this assistance, has signed an assurance
that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 26. It is the responsibility
of the Sponsor to ensure that DBEs, as defined in Part 26, have
an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted
contracts. Policy also requires: 1. To ensure nondiscrimination in
the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts; 2. To
create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly
for DOT assisted contracts; 3. To ensure that the DBE Program
is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; 4. To
ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility
standards are permitted to participate as DBEs; 5. To help
remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted
contracts; and 6. To assist the development of firms that can
compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE
Program; 7. To provide appropriate flexibility to recipients of
Federal financial assistance in establishing and providing
opportunities for DBEs and; 8. To promote the use of DBEs in
all types of federally-assisted contract and procurement
activities.
Analysis:
Financial Impact:Augusta, Georgia, owner and sponsor of Daniel Field Airport, in
accordance with 49 CFR Part 26, completed a Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise (DBE) Plan, Policy, and Goal Methodology
for projects planned for Federal Fiscal Years 2018-2020. In
FY2018, Daniel Field did not have a project, therefore was not
required to meet a DBE goal. For FY2019, the project DBE goal
is 9.84%. For FY2020, the project DBE goal is 6.73%. Since
these projects are planned for federal funding, Local Small
Business Opportunities Program goals are not expected.
Alternatives:Daniel Field Airport, as a recipient of federal funds for capital
improvements, is required to establish a DBE Plan and Program,
and updates its Goal Methodology at least every three years.
There are no reasonable alternatives to complying with these
federal requirements.
Recommendation:The Daniel Field General Aviation Commission recommends
approval of the Daniel Field Airport FY2018-2020 DBE Plan,
Policy, and Goal Methodology and submittal to FAA. The
Daniel Field Airport General Aviation Commission, Augusta
Legal Department, and Augusta Compliance Department have
reviewed the Plan, Policy, and Goal Methodology and concur
with its findings.
Funds are
Available in the
Following
Accounts:
This project was funded with 90% federal, 5% state, and 5%
local funds for the DBE Plan, Policy, and Goal Methodology.

Award Contract for Augusta 911 Addition and Renovations
Department:Central Services - Facilities
Department:Central Services - Facilities
Caption:Motion to approve the award of contract to construct the
Augusta 911 Center Addition and Renovations to Contract
Management, Inc. (CMI) of Augusta in the amount of
$866,528.00. Bid Item 19-181. (Approved by Administrative
Services Committee July 9, 2019)
Background:The Augusta 911 Center was completed circa 1996 to replace
the old 911 Center which had been located in the basement of
the old JLEC at 401 Walton Way. The relocation was predicated
by need for additional space due to a growing population and
moisture problems. Changing operations over the intervening
20 years made it apparent that there was a need for additional
space for personnel and evolving operations dependent on
technologically advanced communications. In response to
recommendations from former 911 Directors, the Commission
included allocations for this project in SPLOST 7 to provide
additional office space, a training room that can function as a
back-up Emergency Operation Center and upgrades to existing
space. In 2018, the Augusta Commission awarded 2KM
Architects the contract to design an addition and renovations to
the Augusta 911 Center to accommodate evolving operations
and requirements. Construction documents were prepared by
2KM and released under Invitation to Bid (ITB) 19-181.
Analysis:Bids were received on April 4, 2019 and reviewed by the
Procurement and Compliance Departments. CMI Inc. was
determined to be responsive and within budget. The project
scope includes: additional parking and a retention pond to
alleviate flooding issues; improved cooling in the critical
computer server room which have been problematic over the
years; and sealing of an exterior masonry wall above the roof
which has been a source of water intrusion.
Financial Impact:The contract amount is $866,528.00.
Alternatives:1. Award the contract to construct the Augusta 911 Center
Addition and Renovations to Contract Management, Inc. (CMI)
of Augusta in the amount of $866,528.00. 2. Do not award
Recommendation:Award the contract to construct the Augusta 911 Center

of Augusta in the amount of $866,528.00.

Caption:Motion to approve the Augusta Fire Department’s fund balance
as the funding source of fire suppression holiday compensation
for the July 4, 2019 holiday extension through July 5, 2019 for
all employees that was approved by Commission at the June 27,
2019 Commission Meeting.(Approved by Public Safety
Committee July 9, 2019)
Background:At the June 27, 2019 Commission Meeting, the Commission
approved an extension of the July 4th holiday to include July 5th
for all employees and to compensate 24-hour fire suppression
personnel. Nine (9) additional hours were added to all fire
suppression personnel timecards on pay period ending June 28,
2019.
Analysis:To ensure all employees receive compensation for the holiday
extension, nine (9) additional hours of regular time was
manually added to all 24-hour fire suppression timecards on pay
period ending June 28, 2019. Funding for this expense was not
included in the 2019 approved Fire Department budget;
therefore, a funding source must be identified for the incurred
salary costs.
Financial Impact:The Augusta Finance Department has estimated the addition of
these hours to be $87,600. Funds are available in the Augusta
Fire Department fund balance.
Alternatives:None
Recommendation:To approve the motion to approve the Augusta Fire
Department’s fund balance as the funding source of fire

OPERATING AGREEMENT - FOOD SERVICE
This OPERATING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of August 1, 2019 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between Augusta, Georgia, a consolidated government, with offices at
535 Telfair Street, Augusta, GA 30901 (the “County”), and Aramark Correctional Services,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having a place of business at 2400 Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 (“Aramark”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
1. GRANT: The County hereby grants to Aramark the exclusive right to provide food service
(excluding vending machine operation) for the County’s inmates, staff and visitors at the
Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center located at 1941 Phinizy Road, Augusta, GA
30906 (the “Facility”). Aramark hereby agrees to furnish nutritious, wholesome, and palatable
food to such inmates, staff and visitors in accordance with this Agreement. The food service shall
meet all current standards as established by:
A. The American Correctional Association.
B. The Food and Nutritional Board of the National Academy of Sciences as prescribed
for inmates.
C. The State of Georgia.
2. OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES:
A. Facilities And Equipment: The County shall, at its expense, provide Aramark
with adequate preparation kitchen, office and storage facilities at the Facility, completely equipped
and ready to operate, together with such heat, refrigeration and utilities services (including
telephone and internet service) as may be reasonably required for the efficient performance of the
Agreement.
The County shall furnish building maintenance services for the Facility and shall
provide preventive maintenance and equipment repairs and replacements for the County-owned
equipment. The County shall furnish and maintain an adequate inventory of serviceware, thermal
tray and delivery equipment, pots, pans, beverage containers and utensils at the Facility.
Should the County fail to provide the equipment, repair, maintenance and
replacement services or supplies described in this Section, after notice from Aramark to do so,
Aramark may, in its discretion and at its option, choose to provide, and bill the County for, such
equipment, repair, maintenance and replacement services or supplies. In that event, the County
shall pay for such equipment, repair, maintenance and replacement services or supplies at the
prices billed by Aramark. Such prices shall be competitive with the cost of obtaining such products
or services from an independent source in the open market.
-2-
B. Emergency Plan: Aramark shall submit a contingency emergency plan to provide
for meal service in the event of a Force Majeure (hereinafter defined) within 60 days after the
commencement of operations. In the event of a Force Majeure, the County shall assist Aramark
by permitting reasonable variations in Aramark’s menu cycle and service methods. However,
Aramark shall not be relieved of its responsibility to provide meal service under the terms of this
Agreement. Additional costs, if any, incurred in providing service in the event of a Force Majeure
shall be borne by the County. The term “Force Majeure” means any war, riot or other disorder,
strike or other work stoppage, act of terrorism, fire, flood, or any other act not within the control
of the party whose performance is interfered with, and which, by reasonable diligence, such party
is unable to prevent.
C. Meal Delivery: Facility personnel shall receive meals at the County kitchen, shall
transport such meals to appropriate areas, and shall return all trays and delivery equipment to
Aramark at the County kitchen, in a timely manner.
D. Food Products And Cleaning Supplies: Aramark shall purchase and pay for all
food products and kitchen cleaning supplies. Products purchased for use in the food service
operation shall be the property of Aramark. The County shall be responsible for providing
maintenance supplies and for maintaining kitchen appliances and equipment at the County’s
expense.
Aramark shall purchase all food products from USDA inspected plants that are
approved as strictly complying with food safety standards. All food products purchased have a
manufacturer’s and distributor’s assurance of safe handling. Food products are reviewed and
approved by Aramark’s registered dietitians to ensure that the food products meet inmate
acceptability and nutritional standards.
E. Portion Size Requirements: All entrée portions listed on the menu that are
purchased fully cooked, within the manufacturer’s tolerance specifications, are based on weight
measurements prior to reheating. Casserole portions and entrée portions made from scratch are
based upon weight measurements after the food has been cooked according to standardized
recipes.
F. Menu: The menu served at the Facility may be modified in any way by mutual
agreement of the parties.
G. Sanitation: Aramark shall be responsible for daily cleaning and housekeeping in
the food preparation, service, receiving and storage areas, and shall, on a continuing basis, maintain
high standards for sanitation. The County shall provide janitorial services outside the kitchen
facilities provided to Aramark. The County shall clean the vents and ductwork leading to the roof
from food preparation areas. The County shall be responsible for extermination services and the
removal of trash and garbage from the designated food service area.
-3-
H. Personnel: Aramark shall provide on-site management and supervisory personnel,
and from its regional and headquarters locations, administrative, dietetic, purchasing, equipment
consulting and personnel advice and supervision. The County shall provide inmate workers at the
Facility kitchen. The number of inmates required shall be determined by the County liaison and
Aramark’s district manager prior to the commencement of operations. Such inmates shall be
assigned duties in the food service operation that may include sanitation, food preparation and
production, and storeroom functions.
The County acknowledges that Aramark has invested considerable amounts of time
and money in training its management and supervisory employees in systems, procedures, methods,
forms, reports, formulas, computer programs, recipes, menus, plans, techniques and other valuable
information which is proprietary and unique to Aramark’s manner of conducting its business and that
such information is available, on a confidential basis, to Aramark’s management and supervisory
employees. Therefore, the County agrees that management and supervisory employees of Aramark
shall neither be hired by the County for the term of this Agreement and twelve (12) months thereafter,
nor shall the County permit management and supervisory employees of Aramark to be employed on
the County’s premises for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of this
Agreement (unless such employees were formerly employees of the County). For the purpose of this
prohibition, “management and supervisory employees” shall be defined as those persons who have
directly or indirectly performed management or professional services on the County’s premises at any
time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding termination of this Agreement.
In addition, the County agrees that if it violates the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph, then the County shall pay to Aramark, and Aramark shall accept
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for such breach, an amount equal to two times the annual
salary of each Aramark management or supervisory employee hired by the County or allowed to work
on the County’s premises in violation of the terms of this Agreement.
The County retains the right to thoroughly investigate any current or prospective
employees assigned to the Facility, subject to applicable Federal, state and local laws and
regulations, including but not limited to, the Federal Polygraph Protection Act, as amended. If
Aramark incurs any costs, including legal fees, retroactive wages and damages, as a result of any
personnel action taken by the County or by Aramark at the direction of the County, which Aramark
would not have taken but for the County’s direction, the County shall reimburse Aramark for such
costs.
I. Equal Employment Opportunity: Aramark and the County mutually agree that
they shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment or on any matter
directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin, physical or mental handicap where not relevant to the job, height,
weight, age, marital status, or other criteria made illegal by state or federal law or the County
policy. In addition, Aramark agrees to take affirmative steps to ensure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated, during employment, without regard to the criteria listed
above.
-4-
J. Insurance: Aramark shall provide and maintain the following insurance coverage:
Worker’s Compensation insurance as required by law.
Comprehensive General (Public) Liability to include (but not be limited to) the following:
Premises/operation; independent contractors; bodily injury; products/completed operation;
contractual liability with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Aramark may satisfy these requirements through a combination of
primary and excess coverage.
The County and Aramark waive any and all right of recovery from each other for property
damage or loss of use thereof, howsoever occurring. This waiver shall include, but not be limited to,
losses covered by policies of fire, extended coverage, boiler explosion and sprinkler leakage. This
waiver shall not apply to claims for personal injury or death.
Any insurance coverage (additional insured or otherwise) that Aramark provides for the
County, its officers, employees, agents and servants shall only cover liability assumed by Aramark
in this Agreement; such insurance coverage shall not cover liability in connection with or arising
out of the wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of the County or its officers, employees, agents
and servants.
K. Hazardous Substances; Pre-Existing Conditions. Aramark has no duty to investigate,
detect, prevent, handle, encapsulate, remove, or dispose of, and will have no responsibility to the
County or others for any exposure of persons or property to, asbestos, lead, fuel storage tanks or
contents, indoor air pollutants or contaminants, poor air quality, or hazardous, toxic, or regulated
waste substances, mold, fungi, mildew, pollutants, or contaminants (collectively, the “Hazardous
Substances”) at the Facility or the surrounding premises. The County will comply with all
applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, which have been or will be enacted during
the term of this Agreement, regarding such Hazardous Substances on the County’s premises. The
County will inform Aramark of the presence of such Hazardous Substances and acknowledges that
Aramark employees will not be required to work in any location where they could be exposed to
such Hazardous Substances. Aramark has advised the County that it does not provide or assume
any responsibility to monitor or remediate mold, fungi, mildew, indoor air quality or any similar
conditions, and that all determinations and corrective actions regarding mold, fungi, mildew,
indoor air quality and any similar conditions shall be made by the County or a third party retained
by the County. In no case will any Aramark employee act in the capacity of a “Designated Person”
(within the meaning of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, “AHERA”), which duties
remain solely with the County.
Aramark will not be responsible for any conditions that existed in, on, or upon the Facility
before the commencement date of this Agreement (“Pre-Existing Conditions”), including, without
limitation, environmental impairments, and other conditions.
-5-
L. Indemnification: Aramark agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
County from and against any and all losses, injuries, demands, expenses, or
reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or resulting from claims or actions for
bodily injury, death, sickness, property damage, or other injury or damage if caused
by the negligent act or omission of Aramark.
M. Damages: Aramark’s liability hereunder shall not under any circumstances
exceed the greater of (a) two (2) percent of the net revenue received by Aramark pursuant to this
Agreement during the twelve (12) months prior to the applicable claim or (b) the actual proceeds
of insurance (not to exceed the maximum limits of insurance required by Section 2.J.), less any
applicable deductible. In no event will either party be liable to the other party for any loss of
business, business interruption, consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages.
N. Compliance With Laws: Each party hereto shall comply with all statutes, lawful
ordinances, regulations and requirements, federal, state, and local applicable to their activities
hereunder. The County shall provide reasonable and adequate physical security at all times for
Aramark employees, suppliers, management and other authorized visitors.
O. License, Fees, Permits, And Taxes: Aramark shall secure and pay for all federal,
state and local licenses, permits and fees required for the food service operation. The County
represents and warrants that it is a tax-exempt entity and, further, agrees to provide evidence of its
tax-exempt status to Aramark upon request. The County further agrees to notify Aramark
promptly in the event of a change in its tax-exempt status. In the event that a determination is made
by a government authority that any sales, purchases, payments or use of property made to or by
Aramark under this Agreement, either in whole or in part, is subject to any sales, use, gross receipts,
property or any similar tax which tax was not contemplated by the parties at the commencement of
operations hereunder, the full amount of any such tax liability, together with any interest paid by
Aramark, shall be invoiced by Aramark and shall be reimbursed by the County, notwithstanding the
fact that this Agreement may have expired or been terminated for any reason by either party prior to
the date of such determination.
3. FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS:
A. Meal Service and Prices: Aramark shall provide meals to the County’s inmates,
staff and visitors at the per meal prices set forth in Attachment A. Aramark will provide, at no
additional cost, a lacto-ovo vegetarian and/or vegan diet for all religious requests from the
administrative or religious authority. Other religious meals requested by the administration or
religious authority, such as prepackaged meals, shall be provided at a price to be mutually agreed in
advance. The County shall notify Aramark of the actual number of meals ordered each day at a
mutually agreed upon time prior to meal service, and the County shall make additions or deletions
to such order within a mutually agreed upon time prior to meal service. When the initial notice of
meals ordered is not given timely, Aramark shall prepare and will be paid for the same number of
meals as prepared for the previous day.
-6-
B. Price Adjustments: The per meal prices stated in this Agreement are firm for the
period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2019. Per meal prices for
each subsequent 12-month period shall be increased on each anniversary of the Effective Date by
an amount to be mutually agreed upon and set forth in an amendment to this Agreement in the
form attached hereto as Attachment B; provided, however, that in the event no agreement is
reached with respect to such increase, per meal prices shall be increased as further set forth below
by the greater of the (a) yearly percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban
Consumers, U.S. City Average, Food Away From Home Index (“CPI-FAH”), published by the
U.S. Department of Labor and (b) the yearly percentage change in the Market Basket of Products
(as defined below) which approximate the products served at the facilities covered by this
Agreement (the “Client Menu”). The period for determining CPI-FAH and Market Basket of
Products increases shall be July of the immediately preceding year to July of the then-current year
(the “Base Period”).
As set forth on the sample client statement attached as Attachment C, a copy of which shall
be provided prior to implementing any price adjustments pursuant to this section, the “Market
Basket of Products” represents categories or types of products that are generally used in the Client
Menu. Such products are classified into the following six categories of food items (each, a “Menu
Category”): beverage (composed of juice and non-alcoholic drinks other than milk); baked goods;
produce (composed of fruits and vegetables); dairy; meat; and grocery items (composed of the
food items in the menu that are not otherwise included in one of the preceding categories). Each
Menu Category will be ascribed a percentage (the “Category Weighting”) representing the
proportion of the Client Menu that such Menu Category approximately represents based on
purchasing levels during the Base Period. Each Category Weighting will then be multiplied by
the percentage change in the corresponding Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”) category compiled
by the U.S. Department of Labor and published at www.bls.gov for the Base Period, and the results
of each such calculation will be added together to arrive at the overall percentage change which
will represent the Market Basket of Products. For the avoidance of doubt, the BLS categories to
be multiplied by the Category Weightings are (1) Beverage, All Urban Consumers, U.S. City
Average; (2) Baked Goods, All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average; (3) Produce, All Urban
Consumers, U.S. City Average; (4) Dairy, All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average; (5) Meat,
All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average; and (6) Food, All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average.
In the event that there are any changes in the method in which the BLS reports its annual statistics,
including any changes or modifications to any of the applicable BLS categories, the parties agree
to negotiate a mutually agreeable modification to the appropriate Market Basket of Products
category or categories or the methodology described above. If the parties do not agree on such a
modification, Aramark shall have the right to terminate the Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written
notice. The Market Basket of Products is designed to approximate price adjustments with product
cost increases at the facility or facilities covered by this Agreement. The Market Basket of
Products is an estimate of food costs only and actual costs may vary. While the Menu Categories
attempt to approximate the products served at the facility or facilities covered by this Agreement,
they may not precisely parallel actual usage or the BLS categories listed above.
Please refer to Attachment C for an example of the Market Basket of Products calculation.
-7-
C. Additional Services: Food, beverage and other services required or desired by the
Facility outside the scope of this Agreement (including Fresh Favorites) shall be provided by
Aramark upon written authorization by the County and/or Sheriff at mutually agreed upon prices
for such services.
D. Initial Four-Week Payment: Prior to the commencement of operations hereunder,
Aramark shall submit to the County an invoice for an amount equal to the estimate of Aramark’s total
meal billings for one (1) four-week accounting period (the “Initial Payment”).
Prior to each anniversary of the commencement of operations hereunder, Aramark
shall submit to the County an invoice in an amount equal to the increase, if any, or a credit memo for
the decrease, if any, in such Initial Payment from the amount previously billed.
The foregoing payments shall be retained by Aramark and credited to the County at
the time of the last billing made by Aramark to the County at the termination of this Agreement.
E. Billing: Aramark shall submit to the County on the first day of every week, for the
preceding week an invoice for inmate/staff meals ordered or served, whichever is greater, and
other goods or services provided by Aramark, if any. The invoice shall reflect the preceding week’s
food services detailing the greater of the number of meals served or ordered on a daily basis as
follows:
1. Adult inmate meals
2. Staff/visitor meals
3. Any additional food, beverage or other services, as required
Aramark shall provide the County with a comprehensive monthly summary of
meals, services and credits. This summary shall be forwarded to the County Administrator or his
designee each month.
F. Manner Of Payment: Payment shall be made by check payable to Aramark
Correctional Services, LLC within thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Such payment shall be
sent to the address listed in the invoice. Payments only shall be sent to this address, all other
correspondence shall be sent to the address set forth in Section 9 hereof. If any invoices are not
paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, interest shall be charged on each invoice at One
Hundred Twenty-Five Percent (125%) of the Prime Interest Rate per annum on the unpaid balance
(or in the event local law prohibits the charging of such rate, interest shall be charged at the maximum
legal rate permitted), computed from the invoice date until the date paid. The term “Prime Interest
Rate” shall mean the interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal as the base rate on corporate
loans posted by at least Seventy-Five Percent (75%) of the thirty (30) largest U.S. commercial banks,
such rate to be adjusted on the last day of each Aramark accounting period.
-8-
The right of Aramark to charge interest for late payment shall not be construed as a
waiver of Aramark’s right to receive payment of invoices within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
In the event that Aramark incurs legal expense in enforcing its right to receive timely payment of
invoices, the County agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs.
4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE: The financial arrangements in this Agreement are
based on conditions existing as of the Effective Date including any representations regarding
existing and future conditions made by County in connection with the negotiation and execution
of this Agreement. If such conditions change due to causes beyond Aramark’s control, including,
but not limited to, a change in the scope of Aramark’s services; menu changes; a decrease in the
Facility’s inmate population or the availability of inmate labor; efforts to organize labor; increases
in food, fuel, equipment, utilities, supply, and labor costs; Federal, State and local sales, and other
taxes and other operation costs; a change in Federal, State and local standards, requirements
recommendations, and regulations including any applicable Child Nutrition Programs; or other
unforeseen external market conditions outside Aramark’s control, then Aramark shall give County
written notice of such increase or change, and within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice,
Aramark and County shall mutually agree upon modification(s) to offset the impact of the increase
or change, which modifications may include any or a combination of the following: an adjustment
to Aramark’s price per meal, modifications to the menu, or modifications to Aramark’s scope of
services.
5. ACCESS AND RECORDS: Aramark will maintain accurate books and records in
connection with the food service operation and shall retain such records for thirty-six (36) months
after the close of the federal fiscal year (October 1, through September 30).
6. TERM OF AGREEMENT: The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on
August 1, 2019, and shall continue through December 31, 2019. By mutual agreement, this
Agreement may be renewed for three (3) additional one year periods. Thereafter, the County and
Aramark may extend this Agreement for additional periods of twelve (12) months each, provided
that the services to be provided, and the prices thereof, for the extension period, have been mutually
agreed upon by the County and Aramark.

A. Termination For Convenience: Either party may terminate this Agreement for
convenience, at any time during the term or any renewal or extension, upon ninety (90) days notice
to the other party.
B. Termination For Default: Either party may terminate this Agreement upon a
breach or default of this Agreement by the other party, which is not cured within thirty (30) days
after receipt by the defaulting party of a notice from the non-defaulting party, specifying the nature
of such breach or default.
-9-
C. Consequences Of Termination: If this Agreement is terminated under any
circumstances, the County shall pay Aramark for all inmate and staff meals, and other services,
provided by Aramark to and including the date of termination, at the prices and within the payment
periods set forth in this Agreement. The County’s obligation to pay for meals and services
provided shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Upon the expiration or any termination of this Agreement, the County agrees, if
requested by Aramark, to purchase Aramark’s usable inventory of food and supplies. The
purchase price for such inventory shall be Aramark’s invoice cost.
8. NOTICE: All notices or other communication hereunder shall be deemed to be duly given
when made in writing and delivered in person or deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, certified mail, return receipt requested and addressed to the party at its respective address
first set forth above, or such other address as it may designate, by notice given as aforesaid.
9. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Aramark covenants that it presently has no interest and
shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which would conflict in any manner or degree with
performance of this Agreement and no person having any such interest shall be employed. In
addition, no officer, agent or employee of the County and no member of its governing body shall

without the prior written consent of Aramark. Upon the expiration or any termination of this
Agreement, all materials containing any Aramark Proprietary Information shall be returned to

written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that Aramark
may assign this Agreement, in its sole discretion, to any of its affiliates without any consent being
required. The term “affiliate” means any corporation, limited liability company or any other person

Fort Gordon Cyber CoE Campus Utilities
Department:Utilities
Department:Utilities
Caption:Motion to approve proposal from Johnson, Laschober &
Associates, P.C. to provide supplemental engineering services
for the Utilities Department’s Fort Gordon Cyber CoE Campus
Utilities phased projects in the amount of $200,500.(Approved
by Engineering Services Committee July 9, 2019)
Background:Augusta Utilities Department (AUD) is the contracted water,
sanitary sewer, and non-potable irrigation utility provider for
Fort Gordon. Fort Gordon is constructing a new Cyber Center
of Excellence (CoE) campus, which encompasses the existing
campus facilities around Signal Tower. Existing buildings are
scheduled for demolition or renovation, and new buildings will
be constructed to create a new cyber campus. The campus
requires new water, sanitary sewer and irrigation mains and
service lines to provide utility services to each facility on
campus. The Army’s masterplan has projects scheduled to be
performed in sequence out to 2028. Thus, the utility work
sequence will be complicated to keep existing facilities in
service, while constructing new mains and services for the new
and renovated buildings. Johnson, Laschober & Associates, P.C.
(JLA) has been providing engineering services to the Fort
Gordon planning team for the Cyber CoE Campus site planning.
Thus, JLA is knowledgeable of the campus planning, design,
scheduling and coordination information, which is often subject
to change. JLA is uniquely positioned to provide professional
engineering services to AUD and represent AUD interests within
the overall campus design process. Therefore, AUD contracted
JLA to provide design and engineering services for AUD’s first
phase of construction, Project D1 (MCA-1). This project is
proceeding to bid, and we need to continue the design of the
follow-on phases of AUD projects for the campus. At AUD’s
request, JLA has provided a proposal to provide professional
services for the following additional phased AUD projects: D2
(MCA-2), D3 (MCA-3), D4 (MCA-4) and 8th Avenue Water
Main. These supplemental services will enable JLA to maintain
a continuity of design throughout the phasing of AUD’s campus
utility projects through the 2028 CoE plan.These professional
services costs are to be recovered within AUD’s projects’
budgets for Cyber CoE Campus utility projects paid for by Fort
Gordon.
Analysis:Utilities Department recommends approving JLA to perform
these supplemental services for AUD’s Fort Gordon Cyber CoE
Campus utilities projects. Utilities Department requests approval
in the amount of $200,500.00 to fund these services.
Financial Impact:$200,500.00 funds are available from the following accounts:
507043490-5212115 / 88880160-5212115
Alternatives:No alternatives are recommended.
Recommendation:Recommend approval for Johnson, Laschober & Associates,
P.C. perform supplemental services for the amount of
$200,500.00.

BACKGROUND:
There have been several requests in the past few months to place a monument or
other appropriate marker in the right of way or on public property to commemorate
a specific ierson or event. While this has been done in the past on a case by case
basis, the need to establish a policy has become apparent.
The Public Works and Engineering Department has performed a limited field
reconnaissance on the existing monuments and historical markers in the area. By
far, the majority of the existing monuments are on Greene Street with the historical
markers at various locations. The median iuea on Green Street and other streets
with width medians makes them ideal for the placement of monuments. Historichl
markers can be placed in more confined locations.
ANALYSIS:
The criteria of the policy for placement of monuments or historical markers would
include:1. Application for placement of monument or marker submitted to an ad hoc
committee comprised of,. Planning and Zoning. Public Works and Engineering Department
Administrator's Office
