The BOCC also specifically agreed, in <br /> principle , to accept ownership of the portion of the <br /> force main within the Hwy 70 right-of-way and , with NCDOT <br /> and Hancor, to enter into a three-party encroachment <br /> agreement signifying the County' s ownership. This <br /> agreement is a standard contract required by NCDOT in its <br /> process to allow utility construction by non-governmental <br /> entities within highway rights-of-way. In the agreement, <br /> the party of the first part, NCDOT , allows Hancor, the <br /> party of the second part, to construct the force main <br /> within the right-of-way if Hancor agrees to insure that <br /> its construction practices meet NCDOT requirements and if <br /> Orange County, the party of the third part, agrees to <br /> accept ownership of and maintenance responsibility for the <br /> section of the force main lying within the right-of-way. <br /> Hancor is currently proceeding with construction of its <br /> Plant expansion and has recently awarded a contract for <br /> the construction of the pump station and force main. The <br /> County' s execution of the three-party encroachment <br /> agreement is a timely and necessary step in the effort to <br /> complete the project. <br />
