069 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No.ZG_ <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: DECEMBER 16, 1986 <br /> SUBJECT: WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT <br /> DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S <br /> OFFICE,X501 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br /> AGREEMENTS Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider changes to the agreement. <br /> NEED: The County is near the point of being able to ask the Farmers <br /> Home Administration for permission to advertise bids for the <br /> Efland Sewer. Thurman Murphy, District FMHA Representative, <br /> has indicated that before the request can be made to the State <br /> Office the Wastewater Collection and Treatment and Purchase <br /> Contract must be amended to reflect two federal requirements. <br /> One is that the agreement reference the responsibility for <br /> maintaining the master meter. A magnetic meter will measure <br /> the flow from Efland. While this type of meter requires <br /> little in the way of maintenance any repair that is done must <br /> be by a factory representative. It should be the responsibi- <br /> lity of the County to pay for the service and the needed <br /> electricity to the meter as part of the sewer operating cost <br /> charged to the customers. <br /> A second requirement is that the term of the agreement be <br /> specified. It is recommended that the timetable be for 40 <br /> years in order to coincide with the bond repayment schedule. <br /> Another minor change should be made to paragraph 1. Instead <br /> of the connecting point of the two sewer systems being at Lake <br /> Shore Drive it will be at the eighteen (18) inch interceptor <br /> at Dimmocks Mill Road per the revised engineering plans and <br /> specifications. <br /> Two agreement copies are attached. One shows what was <br /> formerly approved. The second is an amended version to <br /> reflect the above changes. <br /> Hillsborough will take action at a later date. <br /> IMPACT: Facilitate action on the sewer project checklist. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Approve amended agreement. <br />
