This <br />$650,000 agreement covers amulti-phase, multi-year project, and involved the participation of <br />the County's municipalities, OWASA, and the University in selecting the vendor and in <br />designating the standards and features of the data to be purchased. <br />The agreement with Atlantic allowed the municipalities to purchase GIS products produced by <br />the vendor from the County. The attached interlocal agreement between the County and the <br />Town of Hillsborough sets policy on how data may be obtained when the County has purchased <br />a GIS digital data product that the Town wants. This agreement is modeled upon similar <br />agreements with the Town of Chapel Hill and the Town of Carrboro that were approved by the <br />Board of Commissioners in 1998 and 1999. <br />The 1:Inancial effect of this interlocal agreement is to reduce the amount the County will pay out <br />of pocket far the GIS products and services from Atlantic Technologies. As was the case with <br />Chapel Hill and Carrboro, the Town of Hillsborough will pay a "fair share" of the costs the <br />County has already incurred under the contract, and will incur under a subsequent phase of the <br />Atlantic contract, if and when funding for that phase is approved by the Board of <br />Commissioners. For the phases already approved by the Board of Commissioners, the <br />County's cost will be reduced by a $6,321 payment from the Town of Hillsborough. The Town is <br />pledging to pay an additional $9,600 for G15 products to be provided by Atlantic in FY2000- <br />2001 if approved by the BOCC. <br />
