Digitizing and Indexing Historic Building Plans


Presenter: Rob Sherman

Caption: Request Commission approval to enter into Phase V contract with MCCi, LLC as a sole source vendor for the amount of ‘not to exceed $90,000.00’ for the purpose of digitizing and indexing

historic building plans.

Background: The State record retention code requires that building plans be

retained for the life of the structure. We had approximately twenty-five years of building plans stored in the attic of the building at 1815 Marvin Griffin Road when we began Phase I of

this project. The plans have deteriorated over the years because of the exposure to the humid environment when the plans were stored at the old License & Inspection office at 1815 Marvin

Griffin Road. The goal for this project is to have the building plans scanned in to a database where they can be stored and

easily accessed.

Analysis: The Information Technology Department is working with the Planning & Development Department for the conversion and

indexing service to store building plans. The Planning & Development Department / Building Division 2021 Budget

includes funds for this project…. In 2017, the Planning Department began the scanning project using MCCi because of their established vendor relationship within the Procurement

Department and the Information Technology Department. Approximately 182,488 pages have been scanned in Phases I, II,

III & IV at a total cost of approximately $195,000….The last contract with MCCi was approved May 21, 2019 for an amount not to exceed $85,000.00. The use of MCCi as the Sole Source

vendor has been approved by the Procurement Department and the Administrator.

Financial Impact: Not to exceed $90,000. Cover Memo

described in this pricing proposal. All costs are volume based and can be provided upon request. MCCi will consult

with each department interested in beginning their own project to determine individual scanning and indexing needs.

MICROFILM & FICHE CONVERSION SERVICES.

MCCi offers electronic conversion services for microfilm, microfiche, and aperture cards. Client will provide MCCi with

data to be converted to electronic format. MCCi will extract the images contained on the film/fiche and migrate them

to Laserfiche or to another industry standard format as requested by Client. The images will be captured based upon

the reduction ratio and threshold between the beginning and ending of new images on the original film. MCCi is not

responsible for the accuracy of existing image quality, such as black borders, skewed images, blurry images, non-

legible images, or other errors that are not controllable by MCCi. Unless otherwise specified in the project scope,

MCCi will index by the roll/card number or unique identifier.

LASERFICHE SEARCH ENGINE MEDIA

If included in the Scope of Services, MCCi will integrate the documents with the Laserfiche Software to provide Client

with the most powerful index retrieval search engine available with the following features: intuitive browse window,

index cards, and full text word search. MCCi will provide Client with the appropriate media containing all documents

scanned and integrated with Laserfiche.

ONLINE DOCUMENT HOSTING

MCCi will post the documents to the web for a minimal annual fee. MCCi provides Client with a direct link which can

then be linked to Client’s website for public access if desired. Document storage cost is determined upon actual image

count. All documents on the site are integrated with a search engine, and updates are incorporated as the database

is amended. This recurring web posting service will automatically renew and be billed unless Client has terminated

the Agreement or provided sixty (60) days written notice prior to the scheduled renewal date of the recurring Services.

No refunds are available in the event of cancelling prior to the expiration of a renewal term.


Item # 7


PROJECT TIMELINE

MCCi will complete and deliver the project within the predetermined project timeline as agreed upon with Client.

Should MCCi require additional time, Client will be notified immediately.

DOCUMENT TRANSPORTATION

Client is required to package all materials per MCCi’s instruction prior to delivery of materials to MCCi facilities. If

Client chooses to utilize MCCi’s pickup and delivery service (offered in select states), pricing is based on picking up the

entire project described in the scope of services in one shipment. At the time of updating or if additional trips are

required due to Client not having all the documents ready for pick up, additional charges will be applied. If Client

chooses to ship via a certified carrier, Client incurs all shipping costs.

PRICING

Charges apply on a per project basis and are dependent upon size and volume of documents. MCCi requires having

the entire project in bulk, rather than in small quantities. Breaking the project into smaller quantities will affect the

volume pricing, and additional charges per image may apply. A sample may be required prior to confirming large

volume job pricing.

UNANTICIPATED DOCUMENT TYPES & SIZES

The prices quoted are made with the expectation that Client will properly prepare and annotate materials for scanning

bureau use and that documents are consistent with the description provided in the scope of services. If documents

are not as initially represented, additional charges will apply. MCCi will call for authorization to proceed with the

project.

LASERFICHE SYSTEM CLIENTS

Due to requirements by Laserfiche systems regarding the importing of images and indexing information, it is highly

recommended that Clients who already have a Laserfiche system have their documents scanned using only Laserfiche

software. This will ensure that all associated indexing information will be properly retained after the importing of

images into the Laserfiche system. MCCi has knowledge of the software versions, indexing requirements, and

compatibility issues for each of our Laserfiche system Clients. For these reasons, MCCi should be considered as a

Preferred/Best Value provider for scanning services. Additionally, Laserfiche System Clients are required to supply

MCCi with a Laserfiche Briefcase of their current folder/template structure, prior to each scanning project / updates

to existing projects.

MCCi CERTIFIED PARTNERS

MCCi maintains partnerships for the purpose of additional capacity and flexibility in meeting Client expectations. In

the event partners are used for a project, the management and support of the project is handled directly by MCCi. .

Physical documents will never leave the United States, but our partners may utilize offshore resources to handle

document indexing, quality control, and other processes.

SERVICES PROVIDED

The services provided in this order will be in full force and effect for a period of 90 days from the date of shipment of

the completed product to the organization.

MCCi shall defend, indemnify and hold Client harmless against Claims made or brought against Client by a third Party

alleging that the use of any Deliverable as provided to Client under this Agreement or any Order hereto and used in

Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCCi shall not be required to indemnify Client to the extent the alleged infringement:

(x) is based on information or requirements furnished by Client, (y) is the result of a modification made by a Party

other than MCCi, or (z) arises from use of a Deliverable in combination with any other product or service not provided

by MCCi. If Client is enjoined from using the Deliverable or MCCi reasonably believes it will be enjoined, MCCi shall

have the right, at its sole option, to obtain for Client the right to continue use of the Deliverable or to replace or modify

the Deliverable so that it is no longer infringing. If neither of the foregoing options is reasonably available to MCCi,

then this Agreement may be terminated at either Party’s option and MCCi’s sole liability shall subject to the limitation

of liability provided in this Section.

(c) Client Indemnification.

If the Services require MCCi to access or use any third Party products provided or used by Client, Client warrants that

it shall have all rights and licenses of third Parties necessary or appropriate for MCCi to access or use such third Party

products and agrees to produce evidence of such rights and licenses upon the reasonable request of MCCi and to

indemnify, hold harmless and defend MCCi from and against any claims, actions, demands, lawsuits, damages,

liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent arising

from MCCi’s access to or use of such third Party products.

(d) Indemnification Procedure.

Each indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party (a) prompt written notice of the Claim; (b) sole control of the

defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that the indemnifying Party may not settle any Claim unless it

assistance.

(e) Limitation of Liability.

In no event shall either Party be liable for special, exemplary, incidental, or consequential damages (including, without

limitation, lost revenues, profits, savings or business) or loss of records or data, whether or not the possibility of such

damages has been disclosed to such Party in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by such Party, and

whether in an action based on contract, warranty, strict liability, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or

otherwise. Except for a Party’s indemnification obligations, each Party's maximum aggregate liability for all claims,

losses or other liability arising out of, or connected with, this Agreement, the Services contemplated hereunder or

Client’s use of any such Services or Deliverables, and whether based upon contract, warranty, strict liability, tort

(including, without limitation, negligence), or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the aggregate amounts paid to MCCi

by Client under the applicable Order, giving rise to such claim during the last six (6) months. Each Party's entire liability

and Client's remedies under this Agreement shall be subject to the limitations contained in this Section 11. The

limitations on warranty and liability specified in Sections 10 and 11 hereof will survive and apply even if any limited

remedy herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

The Parties acknowledge that the limitation of warranties and liabilities as set out in this Agreement are an essential

basis of this Agreement and that the prices agreed to be paid by Client for Services reflect these limitations.

USE OF BASECAMP

Through the course of this project, MCCi may choose to utilize the third-party service Basecamp

(http://www.basecamp.com) for project management and team collaboration. Documentation and correspondence

exchanged between MCCi and Client may be stored in Basecamp.

Caption: Motion to approve the Daniel Field Airport receiving a 100% federal grant from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and approval of the mayor signing a resolution acknowledging the

acceptance of said funding.

Background: On March 11, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

was signed into law, providing approximately $8 billion in economic relief to eligible U.S. airports due to the COVID 19 pandemic, of which the Georgia Non-Primary Airports (General

Aviation) will receive $3,458,000.

Analysis: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) determined Daniel Field Airport as a regional asset airport according to the National

Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and has allocated a $59,000 ARPA grant to Daniel Field. This grant is 100%

federally funded and will be administered through the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Aviation Program.

Financial Impact: ARPA funding must follow the FAA's Revenue-Use Policy and

can be used for payments such as grounds/building repairs and maintenance, supplies and airport utilities incurred beginning on

January 20, 2020 (last January) to present and future expenses. Sponsors cannot apply for the same expenses that were documented in the previous CARES nor CRRSAA

reimbursement programs.

Alternatives: Deny the recommendation of the Daniel Field General Aviation

Commission.

Change Order #2 SD Clifton Baggage Handling Replacement Project

Department: Augusta Regional Airport

Presenter: Herbert Judon

Caption: Motion to approve the Change Order #2 S.D. Clifton Baggage Handling Replacement Project in the amount of $5,626.00 and a 14 day addition to the contract time.

Background: S.D. Clifton Construction is contracted to construct the Baggage Handling System Replacement project at the Augusta Regional

Airport. This work is taking place inside the Terminal Building Baggage Claim and Ticketing make-up areas. Phase one for this project is underway. Construction began on April 26, 2021. Due

to material availability delays resulting in a force majeure claim, this requested Change Order 02 will have S.D. Clifton Construction switching terrazzo sub-contractors from Doyle

Dickerson Terrazzo to David Allen Company. Doyle Dickerson was unable to procure and deliver on the commitment to S.D.

Clifton in a timely manner and remaining with this subcontractor would have resulted in additional time delay and cost to the project. To keep the project moving and minimize impact, S. D.

Clifton secured release from Doyle Dickerson and commitment from David Allen Company to complete the terrazzo scope of

the project. The amended contract value for S.D. Clifton after Change Order #1 was $2,352,921.00 and this Change Order #2 in the amount of $5,626.00 amends their contract total to

$2,358,547.00 and contract time to 156 days

Analysis:

Financial Impact: This change order will result in a Net Increase of 0.239%. The additional costs will be funded with Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant #46. There are no enterprise

funds or cost match required.

Dear Robert: This is the cost associated with switching Terrazzo subcontractors in order to accommodate the schedule demands and sever ties with Doyle Dickerson Terrazzo due to them claiming Force Majeure to their subcontract and delaying the construction schedule for the foreseeable future by paying this premium we have the option to move forward with another supplier and/or terrazzo subcontractor.

Augusta Regional Airport Notice

3/29/21

Dear Executive Director,

We would like to present our current situation having to do with our Force Majeure notice. We

have been notified by the current Terrazzo sub (Doyle Dickinson Terrazzo) that their supplier has

incurred major damage to their manufacturing plant during the winter storm that went through Texas a

few weeks back. As of now they cannot give us any date on when they will be able to get epoxy

materials. While we were trying to confirm their statement, we reached out to other Terrazzo subs and

we have found another sub that is willing to commit taking their place with less delay. David Allen

Company is one of the largest Terrazzo subs in the nation. They also confirmed that one of the

manufactures is having major supply issues but they have another manufacture that will commit to

having them materials. The only setback is there has been a price increase on epoxy resign.

We believe we currently have 2 options. #1 is to stay with Doyle Dickinson and delay the project

under the Force Majeure clause in the contract. Again, as of today we have no commitment on when

they will get materials. If this is the route being considered I have listed our General Conditions on a per

week basis.

Item Cost

Superintendent $ 1,600.00

Gas $ 250.00

PM $ 1,200.00

Toilet $ 35.00

Phone $ 60.00

Super Truck allowance $ 175.00

PM Truck Allowance $ 90.00

O&P per Week $ 6,250.00

Total GCs per Week if

Extended $ 9,660.00


Item # 11

Option #2 would be to move to David Allen Company and have them proceed with the project.

We have spoken with Doyle Dickinson and they are willing to relinquish the contract as long as they are

not responsible for delays or price increases. David Allen Company has committed to having us samples

and shop drawings within a week or two to impact our schedule as little as possible. We will have to

redo samples and shop drawings if we switch so our goal would be to keep our schedule but there is a

small possibility of having a week or so of impact on the schedule. If we moved to David Allen Company,

there would be an additional cost of $5,626.00 due to the price increase in epoxy and if we did push the

schedule a week or so, we would ask for a contract extension to not have liquidated damages. However,

if we move to David Allen Company, we would not ask for any additional General conditions due to an

impact from David Allen Company.

Our suggestion would be to move to David Allen Company. We ask you consider the $5,626

price increase as a much better scenario than the $9,660 per week general conditions. We will wait for

your direction on how to proceed.

Thanks

Rob Clifton

Exit Lane Security Equipment Sole Source -2nd Purchase

Department: Augusta Regional Airport

Presenter: Herbert Judon

Caption: Motion to approve the purchase of a second exit lane egress tunnel unit and to authorize staff to amend the original purchase order to reflect the total costs of two (2) units. Requested by

Augusta Aviation Commission.

Background: In April, Airport staff, after further analysis proposed the

addition of a second exit lane egress tunnel. The purchase of the first tunnel was approved in late 2020. The second tunnel will allow for future growth and more egress capacity. These egress

tunnels, a security enhancement, allows one-way egress and eliminates the need to man the exit lane. The purchase of a second unit was approved “not to exceed” $105,000.00 by the

Augusta Aviation Commission on April 29, 2021.

Analysis: The Augusta Commission approved the sole source purchase

action titled “Exit Lane Security Equipment” of the first unit on November 04, 2020 from vendor, RECORD-USA.

Financial Impact: The purchase of a second unit was approved “not to exceed”

$105,000.00 by the Augusta Aviation Commission on April 29, 2021

Alternatives: To Deny

Recommendation: Augusta Aviation Commission approved with a not to exceed cost of $105,000.00 cost on April 29, 2021 and is recommending

Augusta Commission Approval.
