010 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Ada <br /> Item No. <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: FEBRUARY 1, 1988 <br /> SUBJECT: TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING OF POTENTIAL RESERVOIR SITES <br /> DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S <br /> OFFICE,X501 <br /> ENGINEER'S CORRESPONDENCE <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To discuss the possibility of requesting proposals for topo- <br /> graphic mapping. <br /> BACKGROUND: At the December 5, 1987 goal setting session, the Board <br /> generally agreed that phase II of the County Water Supply <br /> Study should be implemented. Additionally, it was emphasized <br /> that accurate topographic information is necessary before <br /> phase II of the study can begin. Based on this discussion, <br /> staff requested cost estimates from Hazen and Sawyer. <br /> Subsequently, Hazen and Sawyer solicited informal cost <br /> estimates from two firms. <br /> Staff discussion with State officials indicate Senate Bill 2 <br /> funds may be used for this activity. However, confirmation of <br /> whether topographic mapping for reservoir study is an eligible <br /> expenditure will be determined after the State has reviewed <br /> formal request for Senate Bill 2 funds. Orange County has a <br /> balance of 57,433 remaining. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Authorize staff to request formal proposals for topographic <br /> mapping. <br />
