ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: December 3, 2007 Action Agenda Item No. 4 SUBJECT: Encroachment Agreement: Central Orange Senior Center/Sportsplex Renovation Sidewalk Construction DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No Services ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Encroachment Agreement Pam Jones, 919-245-2652 PURPOSE: To consider approving a Three Way Right of Way Encroachment Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough that allows the construction of approximately 490 lineal feet of 5 foot wide sidewalk. BACKGROUND: The County seeks permission from NCDOT, who is already aware of this issue, to encroach on its right of way in the general vicinity along the south side of Business US Hwy 70, limited to the east by the southeast property boundary and limited to the west by Meadowlands Drive in order to install a new sidewalk as required by the Town of Hillsborough's approval process. The action further transfers title and maintenance responsibility to the Town of Hillsborough upon completion of the sidewalk. Upon approval by the County Commissioners, the Agreement will be forwarded to the Town of Hillsborough and to NCDOT for signature, thereby finalizing this standard NCDOT agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no additional funding required as a result of this action. Construction of the sidewalk is included in the Construction Manager at Risk contract executed previously by the Board with Resolute Building Company. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Three Party Right of Way Encroachment Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough as presented; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board.
