SUBJECT: Encroachment Agreement for Eubanks Road Sidewalk re: Animal Services Facility Project DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No Services ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones (919) 245-2652 Encroachment Agreement PURPOSE: To consider approving a Three Party Right of Way Encroachment Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill for sidewalks and handicap ramps along the Eubanks Road frontage of the Animal Services Center Facility. BACKGROUND: The Special Use Permit issued by the Town of Chapel Hill for the Animal Services Facility project includes approximately 300 linear feet of sidewalk along the property frontage on Eubanks Road. This Encroachment Agreement authorizes the construction of the sidewalk on the NCDOT right-of--way by the County and the subsequent transfer of ownership and on-going maintenance of the completed project to the Town of Chapel Hill. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Based solely on estimated linear construction costs for sidewalk, the estimated cost of the sidewalk is $6,000. This amount will be included in the guaranteed maximum price for construction of the facility, which will be presented for Board consideration at the conclusion of the design process, tentatively scheduled for February 11, 2008. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Three Party Right of Way Encroachment Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill for sidewalks and associated handicapped ramps along the Eubanks Road frontage of the Animal Services Facility; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board.
