16 1 Michael Talbert said the recommendation is to authorize the Chair to approve the 2 interlocal agreement with OWASA, and the Jackson Center, based on the attached scope of 3 services. He said a separate agreement will come to the Board in the fall, which will also be 4 approved by both towns to reimburse the County for their share of the project. 5 Commissioner Rich said Carrboro was at one point not in favor with the amount 6 presented for outreach. She asked if Carrboro had changed their mind about this. 7 Michael Talbert said Carrboro approved two different resolutions, and the final one 8 directed staff to move forward after some minor changes were made to the scope of services. 9 He said Carrboro was very interested in keeping the scope limited to the 86 parcels that were 10 identified by the task force. 11 Commissioner Price asked if the Jackson Center scope of services was authored by the 12 Jackson Center staff. She asked if the scope of services will be reformatted into the form of a 13 contract. 14 Michael Talbert said the scope of services will be the basis for a contract. He said this 15 was originally drafted by the Jackson Center, and it has gone through several revisions with 16 input from all of the entities. He said this final document has been approved by the Jackson 17 Center and RENA. 18 Commissioner Dorosin asked about the status of the time table and what the community 19 can expect moving forward. 20 Michael Talbert said the interlocal agreement with OWASA is done, and they have 21 received the proposals, but their board has not awarded the contract. He said once the 22 contract is awarded it will take about 6 months for the work to be completed. He said this 23 means the information will likely be coming back around January for the Board and towns to 24 see. He said the work done by the Jackson Center is a shorter time frame and is noted to be 25 about three and a half months. 26 Commissioner Dorosin asked how the contracted work is different from the plans and 27 costs that the task force spent months looking at. 28 Michael Talbert said the original work was done concept wise by OWASA staff and this 29 is the next step, which allows firm pricing. He said there were 8 lines that comprise the area. 30 He said this will lay those out in terms of what is really feasible, and it will include the 31 preliminary engineering. He said this will give a more defined route for the lines and a better 32 cost estimate. 33 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the drawings that the task force looked at were 34 preliminary engineering drawings. 35 Michael Talbert said these were preliminary drawings, but they were not certified by an 36 engineer. He said these were just a best guess by OWASA staff based on broad based 37 estimates. 38 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the contract for the outreach will be exclusively for the 39 Jackson Center 40 Michael Talbert said yes. He said this will be paid directly to the Jackson Center, and 41 then the Center will sub-contract with RENA. 42 43 PUBLIC COMMENT: 44 Robert Campbell said he is a representative of the Rogers Road Neighborhood 45 Association (RENA). He said RENA had been in collaboration with the Jackson Center about 46 the work to be done. He said the goal was to put together a package that could be used by all 47 of the municipalities for any other type of project to be complete in and around the Rogers Road 48 neighborhood. He said surveys have been done in the past, but things have changed, including 49 the layout of the neighborhood. He said the parcel being looked at here, has not changed. He 50 said the data that has been gathered over the past 40 years is scattered; but with the mapping
