Buckhorn Mebane Phase 2 Utilities — Request for Additional Rock Allowance and <br /> 43 Approval of Budget Amendment #3-113 <br /> 44 The Board considered approving Budget Amendment#3-B adding additional rock contingency to <br /> 45 the Buckhorn Mebane Phase 2 Utilities Capital project budget. <br /> 46 Kevin Lindley reviewed the map included in the board's agenda packet. He said the sewer and <br /> 47 water infrastructure project is to serve the Buckhorn area identified for economic development. He said the <br /> 48 project is about halfway complete. He said there is already a mile of water line in service. <br /> 49 He said the amendment is presented tonight because the contractor installing the sewer line in the <br /> 50 western area of the project has run into a high amount of rock, and he referred to photographs showing <br /> 51 this. He said a mobile crusher is being used to crush the rock into smaller pieces and avoid having to haul <br /> 52 it all off. He said the rock allowance has been exceeded, and the goal is to get in front of this issue by <br /> 53 allowing additional Rock allowance to cover the additional cost. He said the money will not be spent if <br /> 54 additional rock is not encountered. <br />
