That the Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 to serve 86 parcels at an 3 estimated cost of$5.8 million should be funded by Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange 4 County in proportion to the recommended cost sharing. The first phase of the construction 5 should include segments 5, 6, and 8 at an estimated cost of$3.7 million, serving 67 parcels. 6 Funding is recommended to be included in the Fiscal 2014/2015 Budgets, with the remaining 7 19 parcels to be constructed in the second phase and included in the Fiscal 2015/2016 Budgets 8 9 3. That the Task Force prefers the original Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 10 to serve 86 parcels at an estimated cost of$5.8 million. First this concept will provide sewer 11 improvements to the entire Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood; secondly, this proposal will 12 enable all of the partners, Orange County, the Town of Chapel Hill, and The Town of Carrboro, 13 to equally share the costs of the Community Center and Sewer Improvements in proportion to 14 their responsibilities. If either the Orange County Board of Commissioners or the Chapel Hill 15 Town Council do not favor the original Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 or 16 cannot agree on the concept of an ETJ for the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood, the Sewer 17 Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 including only segments 5, 6, and 8 to serve 67 18 parcels at an estimated cost of$3.7 million should be funded. 19 20 4.

He said the lowest bid was $1,375,000 and the highest bid was 39 $1,611,900. Each of these was much higher than the budget of$650,000. He noted that the 40 abstract sheet lists a base bid and nine alternatives. He said that the low base bid with no 41 alternatives still leaves a base budget of$1,143,000. 42 He said the County is committed to this project. Staff will try and move forward after a 43 re-design to re-bid this project 44 45 Commissioner Price had no comment. 46 Commissioner Rich had no comment. 47 Commissioner Gordon asked about the cost share.
