This new study and sewer project will take additional time to accomplish beyond the original timeframe to begin construction of January 2015, but because of a smaller scale, will be easier to accomplish once designed and agreed to by Orange County and the City of Durham. A water extension may also be possible. Therein, this request is to amend the agreement for a new design and construction timeline as noted in Section 12 (shown in Attachment 2). Only 2 additional years is necessary to initiate construction since the design would likely not include a sewer lift station which is time consuming and be designed as a simpler sewer gravity extension of existing Durham facilities near the County border. This 100± acre area is in the far northeast corner of the Eno EDD between 1 -85 and US 70. This is also the most distant part of the Eno EDD from where residents had concerns in 2012. Attachment 2 also contains a "clean" version of the language (e.g., changes are not tracked). Joint staff discussions have found this option a reasonable alternative. Pending Board approval, the amandment will be transmitted for City of Durham approval since Orange County is the requesting party. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Monies are allocated in the prior year CIP (2013 -14) for the initial feasibility study and later for this upcoming design work. Construction monies will be programmed in next year's CIP during the budget cycle or earlier if necessary. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1. Approve the amendment; and 2. Authorize staff to transmit it to the City of Durham.
