will be used for siting park facilities and for identifying areas of historic and cultural interest for <br />interpretation. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County and/or other Hollow Rock project partners have received <br />a grant of up to $9,000, or 60% of the project cost ($9,999). This would require a local match of <br />40%, or up to $6,000. Durham County and Orange County, as the landowners of the property, <br />would split this match with each contributing up to $3,000. Funds for the Orange County match <br />of $3,000 would come from existing, previously appropriated funds. The Town of Chapel Hill <br />and City of Durham will also be asked for funding assistance, which would be credited back to <br />Durham and Orange counties. <br />The project includes a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey (conducted by Legacy Research for <br />approximately $9,999), more intensive archaeological investigations which staff anticipates will <br />be warranted and the preparation of educational or interpretive materials such as signage, <br />outdoor displays or informational maps that will enhance the public's experience visiting the <br />Hollow Rock site. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the selection of <br />Legacy Research Associates, Inc. and authorize the Chair to sign the contract prepared by the <br />state granting authority on behalf of the Board, subject to final review by staff and the County <br />Attorney. <br />
