Clifton, Jr., Orange County Manager Board of County Commissioners FROM: Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Planning & Inspections Director DATE: November 20, 2012 SUBJECT: Eno Economic Development District Engineering Progress Update ATTACHMENT: Exhibit A— Draft Eno EDD Water& Sewer System Project City of Durham— Scope of Work This memo serves as an update of the utility engineering work in progress with the City of Durham in the Eno EDD area. The interlocal utility service agreement was adopted in January of this year. Monies funded from the '/ cent sales tax became available as noted in the CIP and 2012-13 budget as of July 1, 2012. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was distributed over the summer seeking qualified engineers. Top prospective firms were chosen and presentations were made in early fall. The scope of work has been refined with the lead firm to include two phases; first, a master planning element to determine, area, capacity needs, detailed hydraulic analysis and best connections back to Durham infrastructure, and second, engineering design and permitting with other engineering services as necessary. Orange County Planning and Engineering Staff has been constantly involved in this process as outlined in the agreement. Durham City is the lead and will be bringing contracts forward to their council in December. After confirmation, we will further inform the Board of specifics including timeline and cost. If you have questions in the interim, please call my office. Thank you.
