Buckhorn EDD Phase 5 Sanitary Sewer Plan PURPOSE: To provide a utility concept plan report and design proposal in the Buckhorn- Mebane Economic Development District (EDD) Corridor. BACKGROUND: There are multiple projects in this Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane corridor (see Attachment 1). Some of the projects are underway (i.e. State/EPA grant and construction review) such as the Environmental Protection Agency Special Appropriations (EPA SPAP) grant 2 for Central Efland and North Buckhorn sewer improvements. At the BOCC meeting on October 19, 2009, the County Manager's Office and Planning provided an overview of utility planning in the area. Many of these various projects are inter-related so a complete summary list is included as Attachment 3. However, the focus of this agenda item and discussion will be linked to the Buckhorn EDD Phase 2 noted in Attachment 2. Buckhorn EDD -Mebane Coordination This information relates to the continued utility planning with the City of Mebane consistent with the March 1, 2004 Orange County/City of Mebane Utility Service Area Agreement. Specifically, the agreement includes the City of Mebane's agreement for utility extension by private/public entities into an approximate 1,000-acre EDD area. However, there were not specific allocations reserved for that area that would help Orange County obtain certified business site status. by the State. Therein, staff proposes to work with the City of Mebane to augment the agreement. Utility design planning has been completed to illustrate how an orderly and multi-phase plan of development could occur and how an anchor development such as Buckhorn Village could complement the utility master plan for the larger Buckhorn EDD and Office, Commercial/Light Industrial Nodes. To this end, Orange County, City of Mebane, Buckhorn Road Associates and its engineering consultants (Summit Engineers) embarked on a conceptual investigation to find out: a. what needs to be done, b. in what sequence c. for what design costs, and d. eventual construction cost. See Attachments 2, 3, 4, and 5 which show these preliminary designs. The above information has been refined, and therefore this topic has come back to the BOCC for discussion. Tonight's item will explain aspects a - d, but is focused on contracting for utility engineering design for Phase 2 only. Staff is suggesting that Orange County expend monies to complete the design work. The engineering design work will be in accordance with City of Mebane utility standards and approved by the city. Although this item does not include funding for construction, when construction of these pre-approved designs are complete (pursuant to a later BOCC decision), the City of Mebane would take ownership and maintenance of these facilities. Later Interlocal Agreement At a later date, an agreement for construction is suggested that would be apublic-private sector agreement between City of Mebane, Orange County and Buckhorn Road Associates (Buckhorn Village PUD applicant). The purpose of the agreement would be to fund future engineering design and construction costs for water and sewer `backbone' infrastructure in the Buckhorn- Mebane EDD. `Backbone' systems refer to the major offsite pipe trunk lines that generally extend sewer system collection points or loop a water system back to the utility plant or other high capacity public infrastructure service point. These types of agreements would analyze and set forth the prorated share contributions. Specific onsite site plan infrastructure would still need to be installed concurrent with individual development proposals by the developer. The Buckhorn EDD Phase 2 (southeast quadrant of Buckhorn Road and I-85/40) includes over 400 acres of primarily undeveloped lands. Orange County has made an investment of over $2 million dollars already in the area to serve Gravelly Hill Middle School and the Eurosport Soccer 3 Complex by providing the first phase of water and sewer infrastructure as noted on the last page of Attachment 1 d. Although this is valuable, necessary and supportive infrastructure for the area, fire suppression and trunk gravity sanitary sewer lines are limited with the existing system. Opportunities After the design is completed for Buckhorn EDD Phase 2, State permitting can be pursued, so a future construction project will be primed for funding. Orange County has been discussing funding for construction options with the City of Mebane since these utilities will be built to their standards, and, after completion, will be maintained by them as part of their overall utility system. These areas are also likely to be annexed by the City of Mebane wherein other services will be municipally provided. Mebane would benefit from the looped water system since it travels through its extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and city limits in places along Washington Street. In any event, these areas have been intended by economic development land use and favorable tax base and they will remain in Orange County whether annexed by City of Mebane or not. Orange County has investigated American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants for this type of project. As the BOCC is familiar, stimulus monies are primarily used for construction ready projects where design and permitting is complete. The federal government acknowledges that a significant amount of time can be spent on this preliminary work and their interest was to have more responsive job creation from construction. Authorizing the design work at this time will create funding opportunities in the near future and/or be able to be bid for construction in a period when costs are more favorable and prepare a 400-acre economic development area for eventual certification as a state commerce site. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated costs of the engineering design work is approximately $200,000. Funds will come from a combination of general fund and capital project funds. The Financial Services Department will bring back a revised capital project ordinance at a future meeting. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1. Approve the master infrastructure utility concept plan for the Buckhorn Mebane Area. 2. Authorize staff to revisit the existing utility service agreement adopted in 2004 with City of Mebane and Attorney's Office and bring back for BOCC review. 3. Authorize up to a $200,000 budget ordinance amendment to fund engineering design activity for this project. 4. Authorize staff to seek proposals for water and sewer utility civil engineering design work for this project. 5. Direct staff to bring back recommendations for final approval by the Board of Commissioners. Regional 1_ ~~ Station Eland-Bu~kh orn Add+tlona!
