Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />I. Purpose: <br /> <br />Orange County, North Carolina is releasing this Request for Quotations seeking responses <br />from qualified licensed plumbers/contractors to provide professional services for the <br />installation of a private sewer service lateral connection for a qualified low-to-moderate <br />income (LMI) owner of a Heritage Lot with Pre-Existing Dwellings in the Historic Rogers <br />Road Area. The private sewer service lateral connection is defined here as the 4-inch <br />diameter sewer service lateral pipe and associated appurtenances located on private <br />property, installed from the existing stub-out/clean-out near the property line to the private <br />dwelling to be served. This work will also include the abandonment of the existing private <br />septic tank per Orange County requirements upon completion of the private sewer service <br />lateral connection. This work does not include nor obligate the qualified licensed plumber <br />to bring up to code any non-altered existing plumbing. The Historic Rogers Road Area is <br />located within jurisdictional areas of the Town of Chapel Hill and the Town of Carrboro in <br />Orange County, North Carolina. <br /> <br /> <br />II. Background: <br /> <br />The Historic Rogers Road Area gravity sewer system is a public system owned by Orange <br />County and operated by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA). The gravity <br />sewer system is generally located along the Rogers Road corridor between Eubanks Road <br />and Homestead Road. The serviceable residential dwellings in this area range in size <br />from less than 800 square feet of living space to greater than 4,000 square feet of living <br />space. The original construction dates of the serviceable residential dwellings in this area <br />range from as recent as 2020 to as old as the early 1950s. <br /> <br />The general contractor for the Historic Rogers Road Area gravity sewer project installed <br />approximately 102 sewer service stub-outs/clean-outs to various properties within the <br />Historic Rogers Road sewer service area. Although encouraged, serviceable properties <br />within the Historic Rogers Road sewer service area are not required to connect to the <br />public gravity sewer system. However, serviceable properties will be required to connect <br />upon documented failure of an existing private septic system. <br /> <br />Orange County, in partnership with the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro are providing <br />jointly-funded financial assistance to cover the costs of the private sewer service lateral <br />connection installation, the septic tank abandonment, and the OWASA sewer development <br />fees for LMI-qualified owners of Heritage Lots with Pre-Existing Dwellings (hereinafter <br />referred to as “LMI Heritage Lot Owners”). The jointly-funded financial assistance program <br />will be available to LMI Heritage Lot Owners for a three (3) year period ending June 30, <br />2022. This work described within this Request for Quotations is being funded by this <br />jointly-funded financial assistance program for LMI-qualified owners. <br /> <br /> <br />III.
