Right -of -Way Agreement — 144 E. <br />Margaret Lane <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Alan Dorman, 919 - 245 -2627 <br />Jeff Thompson, 919 - 245 -2658 <br />PURPOSE: To approve and authorize the Chair to sign Right -of -Way Agreements with Duke <br />Energy for the purpose of providing electrical service to Brightfield electric vehicle charging <br />stations to be built next to the Skills Development Center and the Farmers Market Pavilion. <br />BACKGROUND: On April 15, 2014 the Board approved a licensing agreement with Brightfield <br />Transportation Solutions ( "Brightfield ") for the purpose of building two electric vehicle charging <br />stations, one located at the Skills Development Center and the second near the Farmers Market <br />Pavilion (see Attachments 1 and 2, original abstract and Brightfield licensing agreement). <br />Both stations will include a DC Fast Charger and two "Level 2" chargers. When the stations are <br />completed, there will be no cost for residents to use the "level 2" chargers and an $8 charge to <br />use the DC Fast Charger. Both sites will require Duke Energy to provide new electrical service. <br />Since the electricity meters for these stations will be the responsibility of Brightfield according to <br />the Licensing Agreement, Duke Energy requires that the County enter into Right -of -Way <br />Agreements with Duke Energy so that the service may be provided and maintained. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize <br />the Chair to sign the Right -of -Way Agreements with Duke Energy for the purpose of providing <br />electrical service to Brightfield electric vehicle charging stations to be built next to the Skills <br />Development Center and the Farmers Market Pavilion. <br />
