(Commissioner Gordon pointed out some of the inconsistencies). I noticed , for example, that <br /> the cost of the MLK bus lanes are not the same on page 29 and 43. <br /> * I would like to have a note about the percentage contingency assumed in the financial <br /> model. <br /> Comments from Commissioner Gordon: Part I <br /> AI I, <br /> As I stated at the BOCC regular meeting on May 15, I have additional questions and <br /> comments concerning the "Draft Bus and Rail Investment Plan in Orange County. " (BRI) I will <br /> convey those comments and questions in two parts: <br /> Part I. <br /> A. Additional Appendix - There should be an appendix which shows the details of the cost <br /> sharing agreement with Durham County. In the attachment, I have shown what I think should <br /> be included for capital costs, giving the dollar amounts which I have obtained from <br /> information previously presented to the BOCC. These charts need to <br /> be completed and checked for accuracy. For operation and maintenance costs. I have just <br /> stated that the information should be given in the same format as for the capital costs, <br /> because I do not have those dollar amounts. <br /> B. Page 6 - First five years following successful tax referendum It was suggested at the BOCC <br /> meeting that the cost share for the regional bus lines should be shared 50-50 between Durham <br /> and Orange. <br /> Before that change is made, I would like an explanation of why that should be done and what <br /> effect, if any, it would have on the BRI as it has been presented. <br /> C. Page 7 - What is the meaning of the following statement: <br /> Routes provided by Chapel Hill Transit, may or may not, be included in the Plan. What effect, <br /> if any, does that have on the BRI as it has been presented? <br /> D. What is the cost of an individual LRT station, and what is the total cost of all 17 stations in <br /> the Plan? <br /> Commissioner Gordon's comments — Part II <br /> This email contains Part II of my comments on the "Draft Bus and Rail Investment Plan in <br /> Orange County. " (BRI Plan) <br /> A. Add an additional Appendix - Cost Sharing Agreement (revised comment) As I stated in my <br /> Part I comments, there should be an appendix which shows the details of the cost sharing <br /> agreement with Durham County. <br /> Upon reflection, I decided I should send an outline of the Operations and Maintenance section <br /> of this appendix, and so I have added that section at the bottom of the appendix that I sent <br /> before. (See the attachment in this email) <br /> B. Add an additional Appendix - Projected Sales Tax Revenues Please present the following <br /> information in one or more charts. <br />
