Hillsborough Area EDD Project RFQ Steve Brantley, Economic Development <br /> (919) 245-2325 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider approving a contract with The John R. McAdams Company, Inc. <br /> (McAdams) for the engineering design, permitting, bidding, and miscellaneous related services <br /> for phase 1 water and sewer infrastructure extensions to serve the Hillsborough Area Economic <br /> Development District (EDD) south and west of the intersection of 1-40 and Old NC 86, as <br /> previously approved during the FY 2015-16 Budget/Capital Investment Plan process at a cost of <br /> $189,770, after review by the County Attorney (Construction phase services will be contracted <br /> at a later date as a potential amendment.). <br /> BACKGROUND: In FY 2015-16, the Planning & Inspections Department requested, through <br /> the Capital Investment Plan (CIP), funding for proposed development in the Hillsborough Area <br /> Economic Development District (EDD). Additional funding was then requested for FY 2017-18, <br /> based on a revised scope and cost estimate for water and sewer infrastructure development. <br /> Estimated construction costs (excluding engineering): $1.5 million to $1.8 million, subject to the <br /> engineering analysis and design. The proposed project schedule is included as Attachment 3. <br /> The Hillsborough Area EDD site is situated just south of Interstate 40 and along old NC 86 <br /> (Attachment 1). <br /> In order to provide basic infrastructure support for the Hillsborough Area EDD, there are certain <br /> backbone improvements which are needed including both water and sewer infrastructure. The <br /> Town of Hillsborough will provide water and sewer treatment and maintenance, as well as <br /> proportionately participate financially toward those improvements outside of the EDD, as is <br /> necessary for water system redundancy, adequate pressure, flow and water quality. <br /> This work is the extension of other master planned water, sewer and roadway infrastructure <br /> plans in the area, some of which support the Waterstone Development and the UNC Hospital. <br /> This work is consistent with the planning efforts for the Hillsborough Area EDD, Article 46 sales <br /> tax Economic Development infrastructure initiative, and the area transportation access <br /> management plan, and past and current Orange County Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs). <br />
