2 <br />currently being presented by staff and will be brought to the BOCC at a regular meeting in <br />February. <br />In addition to the permitting and agreements with the City of Mebane, HUA has identified <br />several areas where easements will be required to construct and operate the new water and <br />sewer infrastructure. Staff has asked HUA to develop a proposal to acquire the easements. It <br />is anticipated that work to acquire the easements for the project will also be concurrent with <br />permit acquisition and should be completed in roughly the same time frame. <br />Given the above information regarding the permitting timeline, it is likely the project will be ready <br />to bid in the Summer of 2012. Between now and then, the BOCC will be asked to 1) review and <br />approve the modified water and sewer service agreement with Mebane and grant the Manager <br />the authority to sign the permit applications in February, 2) review and approve the budget for <br />the project during the upcoming CIP review process and 3) possibly approve the release of the <br />project for bid before the summer break. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving this report. Funds <br />necessary to support the completion of this project were anticipated to be funded through the <br />economic development infrastructure '/4 cent sales tax. The anticipated costs for constructing <br />this project are included in the County's current Capital Improvement Plan and will be formally <br />proposed for the 2012-2013 budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive this report and <br />provide any feedback as necessary. <br />
