Building Permit Fees
Department:Planning & Development
Department:Planning & Development
Caption:Motion to approve amendments to the Augusta-Richmond
County Code, Section 7-1-90 PERMIT FEES, so as to increase
fees required in connection with the issuance of permits. Waive
Second Reading. (Approved by Public Services Committee
September 10, 2019)
Background:Currently, the revenue generated is insufficient in covering the
operating expenses of the building division. On May 21, 2019,
the Augusta Richmond County Commission approved a twenty
percent (20 %) increase in permitting fees effective October 1,
2019; moreover, October 1, 2020 the permit fees will increase an
additional twenty percent (20%). The changes will equate to a
forty (40%) increase in permit fees over the course of two (2)
years.
Analysis:In order to allow for a restructure of the building division,
competitive wages, hiring of additional staff and replenishing of
the reserve fund a fee increase is necessary. Upon full
implementation of the fee increase over the next two years, the
Augusta Richmond County permit fees will still be less than the
neighboring county.
Financial Impact:The building fees are collected for the purpose of funding the
operation of the Building Division. At year end, any excess
funds are deposited into the Building Division Revenue Fund.
Over the last eight years we’ve saved over one-million dollars.
However, in the last few years we have used some of the funds
to purchase vehicles and software. Last year we borrowed from
the fund to cover the Building Division budget deficit, which we
will do again this year. The building activity in the area has
increased. By increasing the permit fees by 20% in 2019 and
2020 in addition to increasing the fee structure we will reduce
the amount borrowed from the reserve fund and work toward
having a balanced budget.
Alternatives:Depletion of reserve funds.
Recommendation:Approve the increase in fess associated with building permits as
shown in Exhibit A.

HCD_ 2019 Continuum of Care Application Submission by Housing and Community Development
Request
Department:HCD
Department:HCD
Caption:Motion to authorize the submission of the 2019 Continuum of
Care Exhibit I Consolidated Application, Exhibit 2 Applications
(both New and Renewal) and all supporting documentation for
the Continuum of Care Application to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). (Approved by
Administrative Public Services Committee September 10,
2019)
Background:Each year, the City of Augusta’s Housing & Community
Development (HCD) Department applies to HUD through an
annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the
Continuum of Care Programs. This application is not an
Entitlement Grant but a competitive application process. These
funds are used to support the Homeless Information
Management System (HMIS), for administrative services,
supplies and to provide technical support to the City of
Augusta’s collaborating homeless service agencies. This grant
renews each year for the same time and amount, October 1 to
September 30 (HMIS Program - $184,475). There are three (3)
additional renewal projects from partner agencies funded as a
part of the Augusta, Georgia Continuum of Care. Three (3) new
project applications are also anticipated for submission this year
by local non-profit agencies.
Analysis:Approval will allow the City of Augusta to continue providing
these comprehensive services to the homeless population of
Augusta-Richmond County.
Financial Impact:These are additional grant funds awarded by HUD through a
competitive application process to the City of Augusta for
continued operation of the Homeless Information Management
System (HMIS) and related services. Currently, there are three
(3) additional projects funded through this application for
partner agencies: one (1) Supportive Services Only for
Coordinated Entry, one (1) Rapid Re-Housing and one (1)
Permanent Supportive Housing Program.
Alternatives:Deny HCD’s request to submit this application and decline
funding for the local Homeless Information Management
System (HMIS) and three (3) additional projects.
Recommendation:Approve submission of the 2019 CoC Application to HUD, and
grant the Mayor the authority to execute all forms associated
with the application, to include but not limited to: Submission of
the Consolidated Community Application, Priority Listing
Exhibit 2 Applications, Certifications, Conditional Award
Technical Submission Applications, New and Renewal Grant
Agreements and Annual Progress Reports (APR).

HCD_ Grant Administration Budget Adjustments Request
Department:HCD
Department:HCD
Caption:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development's
(HCD's) 2019 request to reallocate administrative expenses for
CDBG, HOME, and CDBG Rehab. (Approved by
Administrative Services Committee September 10, 2019)
Background:Each year during budget preparation, HCD must project future
allocations of federal funds for CDBG and HOME Grant
Programs. When preparing the 2019 budget, we were waiting on
2018 funding to be made available to HCD. At the time we felt
as though we had budgeted enough funding for account 5211119
Other Official/Admin for all grants. The majority of the
budgeted reimbursable funds were placed in 5599997 Admin
Expense Allocation or 5129998 Personnel Expense Reclass. We
use Admin Expense Allocation to reimburse the city of
administrative costs that are allocable to all the grants. However,
we have received some reimbursement requests that are specific
to each grant and not allocable across all the grants. Therefore
we are requesting to move funds as follows: Description
Current Budget Budget Adjustment Adjusted Budget 221073111
CDBG Admin: 5211119 Other Official/Admin $5,040.00
+$20,000.00 $25,040.00 5599997 Admin Exp Reclass
$42,150.00 -$20,000.00 $22,150.00 221073112 HOME Admin:
5211119 Other Official/Admin $50,060.00 +$20,000.00
$70,060.00 5599997 Admin Exp Reclass $97,830.00
-$20,000.00 $77,060.00 221073116 CDBG Rehab Admin:
5211119 Other Official/Admin $17,830.00 +$20,000.00
$37,830.00 5129998 Personnel Exp Reclass $51,380.00
-$20,000.00 $31,380.00
Analysis:With the reallocation of funding proposed by HCD, Augusta,
GA (c/o Finance) will properly be able to record transactions to
the general ledger.
Financial Impact:There is not a net effect to HCD’s 2019 Budget.
Alternatives:1. The Commission votes to approve Housing and Community
Development’s (HCD) request to reallocate budgeted funds
across account codes. 2. The Commission do not approve
Housing and Community Development’s request to reallocate
budgeted funds.
Recommendation:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development's
(HCD's) 2019 request to reallocate administrative expenses for
CDBG, HOME, and CDBG Rehab.

Department:HCD
Department:HCD
Caption:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to promote and provide financial
assistance to all Richmond County Teachers, Sheriff Deputies,
Marshal Deputies and First Responders to purchase a new home
in the Laney Walker Bethlehem Area. (Approved by
Administrative Services Committee September 10, 2019)
Background:Housing and Community Development (HCD) continues to
redevelop the Laney Walker Bethlehem area. HCD has created a
new program to assist Richmond County encouraging all
teachers, deputies and first responders to purchase homes by
providing a housing incentive in the Laney Walker Bethlehem
area. HCD currently has a Down payment assistance program
(5K), Employee Incentive program (20K), and a Homebuyer
subsidy program (25K) that are income restricted by HUD via
the HOME Partnership Investment Program. HCD would like to
utilize Laney Walker Bethlehem Program funds (non-restricted
funds) to assist individuals as an incentive to move in the
redevelopment area of LWB. HCD is requesting to provide up
to $25K to assist the new teachers, deputies and first
responders.
Analysis:The approval will potentially increase homeownership
opportunities in the downtown development area.
Financial Impact:HCD will utilize Laney Walker Bethlehem Program funding to
award approved homebuyers up to $25K to move into the Laney
Walker/Bethlehem area.
Alternatives:Do not approve the use of LWB funding to fund the Next Door
Program.
Recommendation:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) request to promote and provide financial
assistance to Richmond County Teachers, Sherriff Deputies and
First Responders to purchase a new home in the Laney Walker

foreclose said lien in the same manner as an action of the foreclosure or mortgages upon said real
estate, as provided by State Statue.
Ownership of Property
You must hold fee simple title to the property purchased with HOME funds for the duration of your
Forgiveness Loan.
Use of HOME funds

decent affordable owner-occupied housing. Federal funding for
these activities is provided to the City of Augusta through the

Nationwide 457(b) Fixed Annuity Interest Rate Change
Department:Finance and Human Resources
Department:Finance and Human Resources
Caption:Motion to approve Option 2 concerning the Guaranteed
Minimum Interest Rate (GMIR) for the fixed annuity investment
option in the Nationwide Fixed Annuity offered in the 457(b)
Deferred Compensation Plan. (Approved by Finance
Committee September 10, 2019)
Background:One of the investment options for Augusta's employees who
participate in the voluntary 457(b) plan is a fixed annuity with a
guaranteed minimum interest rate. In the climate of declining
interest rates, Nationwide has not adjusted the rate downward
until now. Augusta must choose an option prior to September
30.
Analysis:Both options have the same schedule of interest rates but Option
Two allows the employee to transfers a larger percentage
annually out of the fixed annuity to other investment plans,
allowing more flexibility in their investment strategy.
Financial Impact:There is no cost to Augusta and no cost to the employee.
Alternatives:1) choose Option One which allows less flexibility to the
employee 2) do not choose an option, which will result in the
loss of the fixed annuity option for the employee. Neither of
these alternatives are preferred to Option Two
Recommendation:Select Option Two

23 OF 37 REVISION DATE: June 2011
F. Submit plans for review of proposed alignments of the gravity sewer at the preliminary
30% design level. The 30% submittal will include plan and profile routing of proposed
sewer, report outlining design concerns or conditions, recommendations for additional
subsurface investigation through SUE, recommended geotechnical exploration to
confirm constructability of route, updated cost estimates for each sub basin and outline
for technical specification packages. This preliminary design will be based on current
GIS mapping and topography to expedite the approval process. Once detailed survey
information and utility information is compiled, the 30% plan set will be revised and
adjusted based on the updated information and will incorporate any CITY comments
received from preliminary review. Final drawings will be submitted, including plan and
profile sheets for the gravity sewer at the 60%, 90% and 100% design levels (horizontal
scale at 1:30 and vertical scale at 1:3 for plan and profile sheets). The 90% submittal will
include full technical specifications in draft format, recommended easement locations
and updated design report including updated cost estimates. The final design will
reflect all comments from the 90% design submittals.
G. The CITY will work with the CONSULTANT to identify geotechnical exploration
necessary for the project to provide critical data for clarity of design and to assist with
bid package clarifications. The CONSULTANT will subcontract this scope of work to
geotechnical subconsultant approved by the CITY. The CITY will commit this work
under the allowance provided in the compensation portion of this agreement.
H. The CITY will work with the CONSULTANT to identify additional subsurface utility
location services necessary for the project to provide critical data for clarity of design
with vertical confirmation and to assist with bid package clarifications. The
CONSULTANT will subcontract this scope of work to subconsultant approved by the
CITY. The CITY will commit this work under the allowance provided in the
compensation portion of this agreement.
I. Preparation of an erosion and sedimentation control plan for a linear construction
project. The plan is to include a three-phase approach, required notes, monitoring
information and necessary checklists and details.
J. It is anticipated that the CITY will require erosion control permitting from AED, GDOT
permitting for Dyess Parkway crossing and USACE permitting for jurisdictional
determination and NWP for crossings of sensitive area. The CONSULTANT will
prepare applications for these permits for the CITY to execute. All permit fees are the
responsibility of the CITY.
24 OF 37 REVISION DATE: June 2011
K. The CONSULTANT will compile the CITY's Technical Specifications with any
necessary modifications and additional sections as part of the 90% submittal package.
Quantity take-offs, Bid Schedule and the CONSULTANT's Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost will accompany the 90% Submittal and will be updated prior to Final
Design Submittal.
L. Photograph all easements, construction routes and identifying location and significant
features/points of concern and provide a copy to the CITY.
M. The project will include the preparation and details associated with sediment and
erosion control plans that comply with Georgia Soil and Water Conservation
requirements and are certified by an authorized representative. These documents will
be reviewed and approved by the CITY for authorization to construct.
N. All construction plans shall be in a digital format (AutoCAD 2010 or higher). The
primary source for transferring electronic plans shall be in pdf format. The
CONSULTANT will provide a secure FTP site for transferring electronic files.
O. The following deliverables shall be provided at submittal intervals:
• Preliminary (30% Submittal)- Two (2) copies, one (1) digital set.
• 60 % Submittal- Two (2) copies, one (1) digital set.
• 90 % Submittal- Two (2) copies, one (1) digital set.
• 100% Submittal (Contract) - Two (2) copies, one (1) digital set.
Per conversations with the CITY and to expedite this project, the CONSULTANT will
prepare Preliminary Design plans based on currently available mapping and data. As
detailed surveys are completed, updated and refined survey information will be
incorporated into 60%, 90% and Final Design Plans.
• Lateral Coordination
The CONSULTANT will layout proposed location of laterals based on field topographic
information near the lowest accessible elevation for the parcel. The finished floor elevation
for the property will be used to estimate the necessary service depth of the main in the
design process. Detailed records of septic permits for these parcels are not accurate and
available and will not be used for layouts. Should the CITY determine that an individual
property owner has a special service condition during the design process, then the
CONSULTANT will modify design to meet this condition. If the condition is determined
after designs are complete, the modifications to the designs may require additional services.
25 OF 37 REVISION DATE: June 2011
• Environmental Permitting
A. US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 Permitting
The project design will require a delineation of wetlands / waters in the areas
identified as Sub-Basins 1-5. The CONSULTANT’S environmental fieldwork will
mostly be concentrated within Sub-Basins 1 and 2. The remaining sub-basins’ (3-5)
alignments include predominantly existing roadways.
B. Field Delineation:
The CONSULTANT will assess all proposed alignment locations within
undeveloped areas of Sub-Basins 1-5 in the field for the presence of jurisdictional
wetlands and waters. A qualified wetland scientist will perform a site visit to
evaluate soils, hydrology and vegetation within approximately 100 feet of the
proposed sewer alignments. Areas identified as wetlands and/or waters of the US
(WOTUS) and State waters will be flagged and numbered in accordance with
procedures outlined in the 1987 “US Army Corps of Engineers Manual” and
Regional Supplement guidelines.
Approximate flag locations will be recorded using a Trimble R-1 GNSS receiver
(handheld GPS) with sub-meter accuracy. This information will be used to map the
approximate locations of State waters and WOTUS. Mapping from the field
delineation will be used a as planning tool for the final design. State waters and
WOTUS will be surveyed following the completion of the delineation and updated
based on agency field verification.
C. Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)
Following the completion of fieldwork, a PJD package will be prepared for
submittal to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for verification. The PJD
package will include a summary report of WOTUS finding, photographs, mapping
and wetland determination data forms from the appropriate USACE regional
supplement. Stream Identification forms will be prepared to determine potential
stream buffer impacts. Additionally, permitting and potential mitigation
requirements, if any, will be included in the PJD summary report and provided to
the CITY.
D. Field Verification & Permitting
At the CITY’S advisement, the CONSULTANT will request a site visit from the
USACE and the EPD. Confirmation of specific permit requirements and conditions
will be determined at this time. It is currently estimated that there will be at least
26 OF 37 REVISION DATE: June 2011
one stream crossing in Sub-basin 2 south of Luke Road and north of Mabus Drive.
It is assumed that a Nationwide 12 Permit (NWP) may be utilized for the
construction of the proposed sewer line provided the activity does not result in the
loss of greater than 1/2-acre of Waters of the United States. Additionally, the project
may also require a variance from the EPD prior to conducting land disturbing
activities or placement of materials within the State-mandated buffer. This proposal
is based on the CONSULTANT preparing both a state buffer variance and a NWP
permit for the construction of the proposed sewer line. Mitigation is not included
with this fee.
The CONSULTANT will prepare permit packages within 3 weeks of the final design
submittal. The PJD package and permit applications to the USACE and the GA EPD
will be submitted at the same time. A typical review for the NWP is 45 days;
however, if needed the USACE may require more information within the first 15
days of submittal.
Limitations
• The CONSULTANT understands that the CITY will obtain permanent easements
where right-of-way or easements do not presently exist to construct the new sanitary
sewers. It should be noted that permanent easements may be required by the USACE
before a PJD or an NWP permit can be authorized.
• This scope assumes that all properties will be accessible, and all property owners will
be notified by the CITY prior to the CONSULTANT’S field investigations.
• If extremely thick vegetation is encountered, the CONSULTANT will discuss clearing
options with the CITY. If not possible, additional services may be required.
• If the proposed permitting assumptions listed in this scope are different from what
regulatory agencies require, field verification and permitting will need to be re-
evaluated by the CONSULTANT and the CITY.
• Mitigation plans and permitting are not anticipated; however, if required additional
services will be agreed upon prior to proceeding.
• Neither Threatened and Endangered Species nor Archaeological surveys are
anticipated or budgeted; however, if required additional services will be agreed upon
prior to proceeding
• The CONSULTANT assumes that all state waters crossings of new sewer lines will be
perpendicular with identified streams and that no State Waters Buffer Variance(s) will
be required. The CONSULTANT will coordinate with Georgia EPD to obtain
concurrence with the sewer alignment.
• The CONSULTANT will prepare and submit additional applications and supporting
documentation for the following Regulatory Agency Reviews that are anticipated to
have jurisdiction:

Commission Meeting Agenda

Downtown Parking Management Services RFQ #19-196
Department:Engineering
Department:Engineering
Caption:Motion to approve continuing the process of developing
proposal for Commission consideration for managed parking in
downtown Augusta. RFQ 19-196(Approved by Engineering
Services Committee September 10, 2019).
Background:Earlier this year, the Mayor’s Office created a parking task force
with stakeholders, business owners, and Augusta department
staff to discuss the issues involved with parking in downtown
Augusta. After several months of meetings and discussions, the
task force compiled a list of recommendations to use in the
Procurement RFQ selection process.
Analysis:This RFQ procurement process provided Augusta with a highly
qualified vendor to continue the work that the downtown task
force started. The Augusta Engineering Department, on behalf of
the Parking Task Force, worked through the Procurement RFQ
process to find the most qualified consultant to perform future
essential services to propose a turn-key solution to Commission
for a parking management program in downtown Augusta.
Financial Impact:There will be no fiscal impact to proceed with the agreement
with the chosen vendor selected through the RFQ process. In the
future, there may be a fiscal impact depending on the chosen
parking management alternative by the Commission based on
the various options presented by the vendor.
Alternatives:1) Approve and authorize the Augusta Engineering Department,
on behalf of the Parking Task Force, to proceed with the
agreement with the chosen vendor and allow them to continue
developing the downtown managed parking proposal for future
Commission consideration. 2) Do not approve.
Recommendation:Approve Alternative Number One.

Projects – RFQ 18-148 Cranston Engineering – Task Order One – National Hills
Department:Engineering
Department:Engineering
Caption:Motion to approve Initial Phase funding for Drainage Study,
Stormwater System Assessment and Drainage Improvements
Engineering Services Agreement to Cranston Engineering
(Cranston) in the amount of $112,355.00 for National Hills
Drainage Basin as requested by the AED. RFQ 19-148
(Approved by Engineering Services Committee September
10, 2019).
Background:Stormwater conveyance concerns are wide spread and
particularly in older developed areas. The objective of Drainage
Improvements projects in area experiencing localized flooding is
to provide infrastructure improvements that mitigate the
flooding conditions in these areas. Frequent, severe flooding
creates threatening and hazardous conditions for residents of the
area, impact local commercial operation and businesses.
Contributing factors to the flooding conditions include
undersized drainage conveyance system, limited or no roadside
curbing, restricted access for system maintenance and deficient
integrated storm conveyance system. The overall need for this
project is to upgrade the infrastructure system within the
designated area including roadway improvements, resurfacing,
or both, adding of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and drainage
improvements. On May 7, 2019 Commission approved award of
Engineering Services for Drainage Study, Stormwater System
Assessment and Drainage Improvement Projects Engineering
Services Agreement to four qualified firms including Cranston.
W ork is released as Phased Task Order.
Analysis:Due to lack of area specific drainage information, specific
improvements cannot be identified without detailed survey and
engineering analysis of drainage system and hydrological
condition at impacted area. Requested funding approval is for
Task Order one – Initial Phase services National Hills Drainage
area. Services are provided by Cranston.
Financial Impact:Stormwater Utility Funds.
Alternatives:1). Do not approve and find alternative to address county-wide
storm conveyance system improvements needs.
Recommendation:Approve Initial Phase funding for Drainage Study, Stormwater
System Assessment and Drainage Improvements Engineering
Services Agreement to Cranston Engineering (Cranston) in the
amount of $112,355.00 for National Hills Drainage Basin as
requested by the AED.

FOREST HILLS DRAINAGE IMPORVEMENTS PROJECT
PROJECT SCOPE & ISSUES
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Forest Hills Drainage Improvements project is to provide infrastructure
improvements that mitigate stormwater problems in the Forest Hills area of Augusta. Benesch is familiar
with study area and understands that there are some areas within the basin that are experiencing some
severe erosion and localized flooding which creates threatening and hazardous conditions for residents
of the area. Contributing factors to the flooding conditions include steep grades, erodible soils, and
undersized stormwater infrastructure.
Due to the expansive project area specific improvements cannot be identified without detailed survey
and engineering analysis, as well as extensive public outreach. Based upon our previous experiences with
similar previous drainage studies, we understand that this project, and subsequently our scope of work,
will be structured based on a common areas and outfalls. Based on information provided in the request
for proposal, Benesch understands that the infrastructure improvement projects identified will be phase
structured to fit the construction allocation funding.
PROJECT AREA
The Forest Hills Drainage Basin is the area subject to this study. It is in western Augusta-Richmond
County and is generally bound by Highland Avenue to the East, Wrightsboro Road to the South, Jackson
Road to the West, and Walton Way to the North. A location map of the study area is shown in the figure
below:
Figure 1: Forest Hills Drainage Basin Area
SCOPE OF WORK
A three-phase approach has been developed by the Augusta Engineering Department (AED) to address
drainage issues within the Forest Hills Basin. The phases include Due Diligence, Concept Plan
Development, and Construction Plan development and are briefly described below:
Phase 1 – Due Diligence: This phase includes the initial assessment of the area where we will identify
and assesses the condition of the existing stormwater facilities as well as identify “hot spot” areas
experiencing localized flooding and other drainage issues. Public outreach will play a significant part in
identifying storm water problems within the basin. This phase also includes the development of
potential system improvements.
Phase 2 – Concept Plan Development: Hot spot areas identified in the due diligence phase will be
further studied to develop concept alternatives in Phase 2. These will be accompanied with an
estimation of engineering and construction costs. Concept plans and alternatives will be developed
using preliminarily hydrologic and hydraulic calculations, as well as further field reconnaissance to
determine any constraints. The concept plans developed in this phase will be used to the create the
Project Priority Schedule (PPS), which place the proposed projects in order of priority based up on need
and value.
Phase 3 – Construction Plan Development: Using the Project Priority Schedule (PPS), Benesch will
prepare construction plans and project manuals. The projects will be completed in the order developed
in the PSS.
For this proposal we have scoped tasks associated with phase 1 of the AED study approach. General
tasks within this phase include development of the study area boundary map, identification of known
drainage issues, and development of potential system improvements. Specific tasks to be completed
during each of these have been outlined below and on the attached man-hour task sheet:
Task 1: Study Area Boundary Map
A summary of tasks associated with the Study Area Boundary Map will be completed as follows:
· Compile the LIDAR survey and storm sewer inventory data to create a study area base map.
o The Constantine Group will act as the point of contact for receiving and submitting this
information.
· Field reconnaissance to confirm existing infrastructure, photograph documentation.
· Update the final study area map using compiled information from the basemap and field
reconnaissance.
Task 2: Identification of Known Drainage Issues
A summary of tasks associated with the identification of known drainage issues will be completed as
follows:
· Initial kickoff meeting with AED Staff to identify any known “Hot Spot” areas.
· Hold Public involvement meetings to gather information on areas experiencing localized flooding
and other storm water issues.
o Estimate holding two (2) separate public involvement meetings.
· Visit hot spot locations identified from meetings with AED and the public involvement meetings
to identify the existing infrastructure in the area as well as any possible design constraints.
· Field survey of existing storm sewer infrastructure (if necessary)
o Benesch has established an allowance for field survey activities that will be used as
necessary to determine the location, size, and other data associated with storm sewer
infrastructure that is unavailable in the provided database material.
Task 3: Development of Potential System Improvements
A summary of tasks associated with the Development of Potential System Improvements will be
completed as follows:
· Develop potential projects for high priority areas identified in Task 2. These projects will be
general in narrative while identifying any constructability issues noted from field
reconnaissance.
· Prepare schematic concept maps of the project alternatives.
· Meet with AED personnel to review the proposed project concept maps. This will serve as the
completion of Phase 1 of the drainage study.
DELIVERABLES
· Project Basemap (Aerial Survey with enhancements)
· Public Meetings: Problem Identification and Concept Development
· Project Concept Maps
ADDITIONAL PROJECT NOTES
· Following completion of the concept schematic maps and final review meeting with AED,
Benesch will provide a supplemental scope for the second phase of the study to prepare concept
plans and develop the Project Priority Schedule (PPS) for the Forest Hills study area.
· Benesch will provide AED with monthly project status reports for the entire duration of the due
diligence process.
· All work requiring additional sub-consultant evaluation will be facilitated through a separate
proposal to AED.
PROJECT FEE SUMMARY
The attached manhour estimates provides a detailed outline of services. Please see below for a summary
of fees per phase of work:
Study Area Boundary Map: $ 47,110.00
Identification of Known Drainage Issues: $ 31,090.00
Development of Potential System Improvements: $ 21,140.00
Surveying Allowance (As Necessary): $ 15,000.00
Total Proposed Fee: $ 114,340.00
SCHEDULE

Engineering Services for Drainage Study, Stormwater System Assessment and Drainage Improvement
Projects – RFQ 18-148Alfred Benesch & Company – Task Order One
Department:Engineering
Department:Engineering
Caption:Motion to approve Initial Phase funding for Drainage Study,
Stormwater System Assessment and Drainage Improvements
Engineering Services Agreement to Alfred Benesch & Company
(Benesch) in the amount of $114,340.00 for Forrest Hills
Drainage Area as requested by the AED. RFQ 19-148
(Approved by Engineering Services Committee September
10, 2019).
Background:Stormwater conveyance concerns are wide spread and
particularly in older developed areas. The objective of the
Drainage Improvements projects in area experiencing localized
flooding is to provide infrastructure improvements that mitigate
the flooding conditions in these areas. Frequent, severe flooding
creates threatening and hazardous conditions for residents of the
area, impact local commercial operation and businesses.
Contributing factors to the flooding conditions include
undersized drainage conveyance system, limited or no roadside
curbing, restricted access for system maintenance and deficient
integrated storm conveyance system. The overall need for this
project is to upgrade the infrastructure system within the
designated area including roadway improvements, resurfacing,
or both, adding of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and drainage
improvements. On May 7, 2019 Commission approved award of
Engineering Services for Drainage Study, Stormwater System
Assessment and Drainage Improvement Projects Engineering
Services Agreement to four qualified firms including Benesch.
W ork is released as Phased Task Order.
Analysis:Due to lack of area specific drainage information, specific
improvements cannot be identified without detailed survey and
engineering analysis of drainage system and hydrological
condition at impacted area. Requested funding approval is for
Task Order one – Initial Phase services Forrest Hills. Drainage
area. Services are provided by Bensch.
Financial Impact:SPLOST 7
Alternatives:1). Do not approve and find alternative to address county-wide
storm conveyance system improvements needs.
Recommendation:Approve Initial Phase funding for Drainage Study, Stormwater
System Assessment and Drainage Improvements Engineering
Services Agreement to Alfred Benesch & Company (Benesch)
in the amount of $114,340.00 for Forrest Hills Drainage Area as
requested by the AED. RFQ 19-148

RE: Drainage Analysis Services
Dr Malik:
Attached is a summary scope of services for a task order to analyze drainage issues
in:
a. Goshen neighborhood (including Rio Pinar and Burning Tree Ln),
b. Westside Dr,
c. Old McDuffie Rd,
d. Morningside Dr and Overton Rd,
e. Berckman Rd pond,
f. Washington Rd Regional Drainage,
g. System-wide data coordination.
The costs included are based on the preliminary analytical scope on the award
letters, and based on our previous discussion, I’ve modified the scope to reflect the
preliminary design analysis of each area. As such, each project area will be
reviewed, any data gaps identified, and a preliminary design report generated. If
you would like to meet and discuss each component and how it would be
developed, please let me know.
Thanks,

Constantine Task Order Proposal AUD Water Systems Integration 1
1. OVERVIEW
Each of our projects will utilize the staff identified in the proposal. While we will lead the effort, ISM
will provide historical knowledge about system issues in each area, and Dewberry will provide
feedback on the modeling scope. Wolverton will provide SUE and survey services, while Cardno will
provide review for environmental resource analysis. Finally, CSL will supplement our existing surface
water monitoring effort in areas that require confined space entry.
2. STUDY AREAS
2.1 GOSHEN NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE
Goshen neighborhood drainage, including the Rio Pinar and Burning Tree Lane areas, is shown in
Figure 1. The fee estimate to perform the tasks established in Section 2.1 is included as Table 1.
Figure 1: Goshen Drainage Basin.
Constantine Task Order Proposal AUD Water Systems Integration 2
2.1.1 SCOPE
The scope of work identified includes the following Tasks:
1. Identification of Problem Areas – We propose to meet with staff to discuss problematic areas in the
drainage system. In addition, we will utilize historical knowledge of the systems based on ISM’s
staff, and the data collected during the first round of the watershed system inventory from 2016.
Next, we will meet with staff to extract work order data from Cityworks and 311 in order to further
quantify the types of problems encountered in the area. We will attempt to contact the Goshen
neighborhood association, and we will meet with them to gather information and discuss issues in
the neighborhood.
2. Field Verification of the Drainage System-We currently have representative information from
Goshen, and will supplement that information with limited additional field work. We have
budgeted to collect about 50 survey grade rim elevations to verify positive drainage of the entire
system. As necessary, we may install temporary monitors in the Goshen system to record existing
conditions.
3. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis Approach-We will use the asset grade GIS information, along
with the survey grade rim elevations and the City’s LiDAR coverage to perform hydrologic
evaluation of each basin. We will delineate subbasins that correspond to the size of the drainage
system being analyzed, and review the impervious area layers to ensure all representative surfaces
are included. We will layout the system in vertical profiles to ensure that it has positive downhill
flow, and perform preliminary analysis to identify hydraulic constraints. We will also analyze areas
where overland flow routings should be considered in lieu of ponding during system model runs.
We will use the modeling analysis to determine where additional monitoring should be done in the
system. The final design phase will include completion of the modeling task to verify final system
sizes based on final design parameters.
4. Identify Issues of Concern and Design Constraints-Based on the information gathered in the other
phases, we will develop a list of priority needs for the system, and analyze if any of those needs will
have special design requirements from either an engineering, land acquisition, or environmental
permitting perspective. We will also consider the regional system around the study area to identify
any downstream or upstream system constraints on the project. We will include these findings in
the preliminary design report.
5. Identify SUE Needs-In areas that will require pipe size upgrades, or asset replacement, we will
identify subsurface utility location needs in order to minimize the impact to other utilities. We will
coordinate any potential impacts with those utilities and detail the extent of any proposed impacts
based on those discussions. We will develop a plan for the appropriate level of service at major
intersections or road crossings that may have a significant impact on other utilities.
6. Identify Scope for Design Phase-Based on the information collected and analyzed during the first
phases, we will develop a detailed plan for the design phase that will minimize time to construction
for each phase of the projects. Based on the previous design tasks, all permit and land acquisition
Constantine Task Order Proposal AUD Water Systems Integration 3
issues will have been identified, as well as SUE requirements, and constraints that may impact the
design.
2.1.2 DELIVERABLES
At the completion of Phase 2.1.1, we will deliver a preliminary design report detailing the information
developed in tasks 1-6 under the scope.
2.1.3 FEE
Table 1: Goshen Fee Estimate.
2.1.4 SCHEDULE

2.2 WESTSIDE DRIVE DRAINAGE
The Westside Drive Drainage areas is shown in Figure 2, and the fee estimate is included as Table 2.
Figure 2: Westside Drive Drainage Area.
2.2.1 SCOPE
1. Identification of Problem Areas – We propose to meet with staff to discuss problematic areas in each
area of the drainage system. In addition, we will utilize historical knowledge of the systems based
on ISM’s staff, and the data collected during the first round of the watershed system inventory from
2016. Next, we will meet with staff to extract work order data from Cityworks and 311 in order to
further quantify the types of problems encountered in the area. We will attempt to contact the
school board and local neighborhood associations, and we will meet with them to gather
information and discuss issues in the neighborhood.
2. Field Verification of the Drainage System-We currently have limited representative information
from the Westside drive area, and will supplement that information with limited additional field
work. We have budgeted to collect about 20 survey grade rim elevations to verify positive drainage
of the entire system. As necessary, we may install temporary monitors in the receiving system to
Constantine Task Order Proposal AUD Water Systems Integration 5
record existing conditions. We currently have a downstream level monitor at Rock Creek and
Stevens Creek road.
3. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis Approach-We will use the asset grade GIS information, along
with the survey grade rim elevations and the City’s LiDAR coverage to perform hydrologic
evaluation of each basin. We will delineate subbasins that correspond to the size of the drainage
system being analyzed, and review the impervious area layers to ensure all representative surfaces
are included. We will layout the system in vertical profiles to ensure that it has positive downhill
flow, and perform preliminary analysis to identify hydraulic constraints. We will also analyze areas
where overland flow routings should be considered in lieu of ponding during system model runs.
We will use the modeling analysis to determine where additional monitoring should be done in the
system. The final design phase will include completion of the modeling task to verify final system
sizes based on final design parameters.
4. Identify Issues of Concern and Design Constraints-Based on the information gathered in the other
phases, we will develop a list of priority needs for the system, and analyze if any of those needs will
have special design requirements from either an engineering, land acquisition, or environmental
permitting perspective. We will also consider the regional system around the study area to identify
any downstream or upstream system constraints on the project. We will include these findings in
the preliminary design report.
5. Identify SUE Needs-In areas that will require pipe size upgrades, or asset replacement, we will
identify subsurface utility location needs in order to minimize the impact to other utilities. We will
coordinate any potential impacts with those utilities and detail the extent of any proposed impacts
based on those discussions. We will develop a plan for the appropriate level of service at major
intersections or road crossings that may have a significant impact on other utilities.
6. Identify Scope for Design Phase-Based on the information collected and analyzed during the first
phases, we will develop a detailed plan for the design phase that will minimize time to construction
for each phase of the projects. Based on the previous design tasks, all permit and land acquisition
issues will have been identified, as well as SUE requirements, and constraints that may impact the
design.

Contributing factors to the flooding conditions include
undersized drainage conveyance system, limited or no roadside
curbing, restricted access for system maintenance and deficient
integrated storm conveyance system. The overall need for this
project is to upgrade the infrastructure system within the
designated area including roadway improvements, resurfacing,
or both, adding of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and drainage
improvements. On May 7, 2019 Commission approved award of
Engineering Services for Drainage Study, Stormwater System
Assessment and Drainage Improvement Projects Engineering
Services Agreement to four qualified firms including
Constantine. W ork is released as Phased Task Order.
Analysis:Due to lack of area specific drainage information, specific
improvements cannot be identified without detailed survey and
engineering analysis of drainage system and hydrological
condition at impacted area. Requested funding approval is for
Task Order one – Initial Phase services Selected Drainage
Basins (Goshen, West Side Drive, Old McDuffie Rd., Overton
Rd., Washington Rd.). Services are provided by Constantine.
Financial Impact:Stormwater Utility Funds ($144,180) and AED SPLOST VI
($78,980).
Alternatives:1). Do not approve and find alternative to address county-wide
storm conveyance system improvements needs.
Recommendation:Approve Initial Phase funding for Drainage Study, Stormwater
System Assessment and Drainage Improvements Engineering
Services Agreement to Constantine Engineering (Constantine) in
the amount of $223,160.00 for Goshen and other Selected
Drainage Basins as requested by the AED.

Section 319(h) CWA Grant- Biota improvement in an urban stream Augusta Engineering Impaired
Creeks Restoration Program Memorandum of Understanding with Augusta university and Phinizy
Center for Water Sciences
Department:Engineering
Department:Engineering
Caption:Motion to approve funds allocation revision in the amount of
$49,000 for the Memorandum of Understanding with Phinizy
Center (Nonprofit Organization) to assist in activities that are
designed for stream restoration in local waterbodies. Requested
by the Augusta Engineering Department. (Approved by
Engineering Services Committee September 10, 2019).
Background:Augusta, Georgia has three creeks that are listed as impaired due
to not meeting instream water quality standards. Augusta,
Georgia has been tasked, through the stormwater NPDES MS4
permit, to develop and implement integrated management
practices (IMP) designed to restore those impaired waterbodies.
In 2016 Augusta Engineering succeeded securing Water Quality
Section 319 funding to initiate testing of IMP selectively. This
grant was accepted by the Augusta Commission and the project
has been ongoing for 1.5 years. Originally the project had three
partners (Augusta University, Phinizy Center, and Savannah
State University (SSU) and accordingly on October 16, 2018 the
Augusta Commission approved entering a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with these three partners. However as a
result of personnel changes at SSU the expert collaborator is no
longer feasible with that institution. In order to keep the project
moving forward with the same team, SSU assigned activities per
state approved work plan are transitioned to Phinizy Center.
Analysis:This proposed change in MOU funds allocation will allow the
project to move forward without interruption to the grant
schedule or budget.
Financial Impact:
No additional impact. Funds in amount of $49,000 initially
allocated to SSU are now assigned to Phinizy Center; bringing
Phinizy Center funds total allocation to $93,200.00.
Alternatives:1) Do not approve and fail to meet project goals, budget, and
timeline.
Recommendation:Approve funds allocation revision in amount of $49,000 to
Memorandum of Understanding with Phinizy Center (Nonprofit
Organization) to assist in activities that are designed for stream
restoration in local waterbodies. Requested by the Augusta
Engineering Department.

on any judgment obtained thereby.
(b) A streetlighting management service fee bill may be sent through the United
States mail, or by alternative means, notifying the customer of the amount of the bill, the
date the payment is due, and the date when past due. Failure to receive a bill is not
justification for non-payment. Regardless of the party to whom the bill is initially directed,
the owner of the real property shall be ultimately obligated to pay such fee.
(c) If a customer is underbilled or if no bill is correctly sent for real property,
Augusta, Georgia may backbill for the maximum period of time permitted by law, but shall

Ordinance (Augusta, Georgia Code Chapter 3 Street Lighting,
Section 7-3) to incorporate current fee structure for the street
light system. Requested by AED. (Approved by Commission
September 3, 2019-Second reading)
Background:The special revenue street light fund that accounts for the power
use, materials, and maintenance of Augusta’s existing street light
system. Fee generated funds are not sufficient to cover operation
and maintenance cost of the system. The issue has been
compounded since fees have not been adjusted over time to
account for street lighting items where costs have increased and
additional areas were serviced. On September 4, 2018 Augusta
Commission modified and approved the fee structure for the
street light system to generate needed revenue. However, the
Street Lighting Ordinance was not modified accordingly.
Analysis:Revision to Street Lighting ordinance is warranted to formalize
adopted street lighting fee structure and fee adopted on
September 4, 2018.
