Task Force and the Rogers Road Neighborhood outreach to be completed by the Jackson Center. The governing boards of each town subsequently authorized moving forward on these items. On May 8, 2014 the OWASA Board of Directors approved the Interlocal Agreement relating to OWASA's assistance to Orange County in planning for extension of Wastewater System Improvements to the Rogers Road Area (See Attachment 1). The Board of Commissioners approved the Interlocal Agreement on June 3, 2014. Next Steps: The preliminary engineering study to provide sewer to the 86 parcels identified by the Task Force was completed in March 2015. Based on the findings from the study, the consultant has estimated the project costs to install 3.5 miles of sewer lines at $5.7 million to include engineering design, permitting, bidding, construction, construction administration, construction observation and contingency. This amount does not include costs for private plumbing installation, easement acquisition or OWASA connection fees. OWASA will work with the County, Towns and consultant to develop estimates for these costs as the project proceeds. Staff estimates it will take no less than two years to design, permit, bid and construct the sewer lines (the easement acquisition process can impact the schedule). Understanding the importance of keeping the project moving, Orange County and OWASA have developed the attached inter -local agreement for Board consideration to continue OWASA's management of the next phase of the project (engineering design and permitting) to begin in July 2015. Staff estimates the cost of design and permitting at about $370,000 (not including easement acquisition) and it will take about a year to complete. The next step is to approve the Interlocal agreement with Orange Water and Sewer Authority ( OWASA) for the design of the wastewater collection system improvements in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood (Attachment 2). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost to the County (43 %) for the design of the wastewater collection system improvements in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood is $159,100. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Interlocal Agreement with Orange Water and Sewer Authority ( OWASA) for the design of the wastewater collection system improvements in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood (Attachment 2).
