MORINAGA AREA WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION <br />Bids were received for this project on May 29, 2014. The bid award will be presented for <br />approval at the June 17, 2014, regular BOCC meeting. Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be <br />issued for August 1, 2014, with 180 days allowed in the contract for substantial completion. <br />This means substantial completion of the project would occur by the end of January. The <br />construction of the water and sewer infrastructure to serve the Morinaga Plant is being <br />coordinated with both the Morinaga company and with NCDOT, who will be building the access <br />road to the site. <br />BUCKHORN - MEBANE PHASE 2 EXTENSION: EFLAND TO MEBANE SEWER <br />Design is currently underway on this project, which will transport the sewer flow from the <br />Efland sewer system to the City of Mebane for treatment, as well as provide gravity sewer for a <br />portion of the Efland area south of the railroad tracks along Mt. Willing Road. The design is <br />expected to be ready to submit for State permitting review by late summer of 2014. Staff expects <br />that bids will be received by the end of 2014 and construction will be complete by the end of <br />2015. Once construction is complete, the City of Mebane will be taking over ownership of not <br />only the infrastructure constructed as part of this project, but also the Efland sewer system as <br />well. <br />ENO EDD UTILITY PROJECT <br />The conceptual study for this project has been completed. This initial study indicates that the <br />funds are not currently available to provide a comprehensive water and sewer "backbone" <br />system that could eventually serve the entire economic development district. However, staff is <br />investigating the possibility of a phased approach which could allow utility extension on a <br />smaller scale to the eastern portion of the Eno economic development district. This conceptual, <br />master plan level analysis is ongoing, but staff expects to know if this approach is feasible by the <br />end of 2014. <br />Please write or call if you have any questions or would like more information. <br />
