ORANGE COUNTY 062 <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agengg <br /> Item No. F <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: DECEMBER 16, 1986 <br /> SUBJECT: HAZEN AND SAWYER CONTRACT AMENDMENT <br /> DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S <br /> OFFICE,X501 <br /> CONTRACT TELEPHONE NUMBERS <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider authorizing additional survey work required for <br /> the Efland Sewer. <br /> NEED: Two tasks are needed at this time. The first is to develop a <br /> survey for routing the 12 inch sewer line behind houses along <br /> Hayes Street in order to avoid litigation. What was <br /> originally designed constituted effective design in terms of <br /> parallelling the Town sewer and connecting with a lower <br /> culvert. Property owners, however, have indicated that if the <br /> line is moved further to the rear of the lots they will not <br /> contest the easement required. While it is in the County's <br /> interest to attempt this change it causes additional work for <br /> the surveyor and may prove not feasible vis-a-vis being able <br /> to connect with a lower culvert and line segment. If <br /> approved, before beginning the detailed resurveys the engineer <br /> will determine whether the routing change would require a new <br /> boring under King Street. If this is found to be the case the <br /> existing route will have to be maintained as the boring cost <br /> would outweigh any saving from avoided litigation. <br /> A second change is to provide another lot survey in Efland <br /> that was not shown on the original list of properties provided <br /> to the Engineer. The property is within the Base Area and the <br /> owner signed to receive the sewer service within the specified <br /> period. The cost is a County responsibility. There is no <br /> difference in amount from whether it had been included in the <br /> first place or done now as the engineering work is calculated <br /> on a percentage of total cost basis. <br /> IMPACT: Cost to perform both tasks is $2,000. This would increase the <br /> Section D cost ceiling from $30, 000 to $32,000. It is an <br /> eligible cost for federal and state cost participation so <br /> County cost will not be the full $2, 000. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Approve the contract amendment. <br />
