. . • I • 064 , Request for Proposals' March 21, 1983 Page Two The candidates capacity to perform the work (including any specialized services) within the time limitations, considering the firms current and planned workload. The candidates familiarity with types of problems applicable to the project, and the proposed method of performing services required! Total project costs for all required phases of work. I. PROJECT This project involves two separate but related elements: (1) the Cheeks Township Water/Sewer Extension Report; and (2) the Upper Eno Reservoir development Feasibility Report. The study area for the water/sewer extension report consists of the area bounded generally by the TOwn. of Hillsborough on the east, by Buckhorn Road (SR 1114) on the west, by Seven i Mile Creek on the south, and by McGowan Creek on the north. The purpose of the report is to determine the feasibility of extending water and sewer lines into the 1-85 corridor between the Town of Hillsborough and Buckhorn Road to serve resi4ential, commercial and industrial development. Two water providers serve the area - the Town of Hillsborough and the Orange-Alamance Water Authority. The Ton of Hillsborough would collect sewage generated by and develop- ment which existed :or occurred in the area. The study area for the reservoir development feasibility report comprises the Upper Eno River watershed and is bounded generally by US Highway 70 on the south, NC Highway 86 on the north and east, and by Frazier Road (SR 1342) and Carr Store Road (SR 1004) on the west. Since the late 1960's, Seven Mile Creek has been under consideration for future water supply for the Upper Eno Basin. Some land has been acquired toward this purpose. Ideally, 'there would be a minimum of industrial development in a watershed from which drinking water is being supplied. Accordingly, the purpose of the feasibility report is to explore an upstream site that would not be impacted to the extent that Seven Mile Creek is likely to experience--considering the proposed widening of Interstate 85 and the desire for industrial development in Cheeks Township. The report must provide an engineering, volume and cost analysis comparing the different elements involved as outlined in 8.1-10 on pages 5 and 6. Until recently, the} Seven Mile Creek Reservoir was thought to be the only long- standing potential Water supply available. A report released by the NRCD Office of Water Resources in August, 1982, indicated that an expanded Corporation Lake would have a yield equivalent to the proposed Seven Mile Creek Reservoir. If found to be more feasible as a future water supply, and expanded Corporation Lake could be substituted for spvon m41.
