SUBJECT• Update on Buckhorn-Mebane Phase 2 Water and Sewer Utility Design DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) [N~ ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Project Timeline Projection 2. Map Showing Water Project Area 3. Map Showing Sewer Project Area INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Lindley, PE, Staff Engineer, 245- 2583 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245- 2592 PURPOSE: To receive an update on the progress of the Buckhorn-Mebane Phase 2 utility design for economic development. BACKGROUND: At this point in the process, the preliminary design of the infrastructure is complete and the plans are currently being reviewed by both Orange County and City of Mebane staff. The routing of the proposed water and sewer lines can be seen in Attachments 2 and 3, respectively. Once this review is complete, likely by the end of January, any comments generated by the review will be forwarded to the County's engineering consultant, Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates (HUA). HUA will incorporate the comments and create a final set of plans for distribution to various State agencies for permitting and project approval. From the time plans and permit applications are submitted to the State, HUA is anticipating a minimum of 90 days until the permits have all been approved and issued. Amore realistic time frame would likely be 4-5 months, which includes time for the County and HUA to receive and respond to any comments from the State reviewers. This timeline is shown in Attachment 1. Concurrent with permit applications for this project, planning and engineering staff are pursuing a modified agreement with the City of Mebane to receive and treat the wastewater which will ultimately be generated by the areas served with this infrastructure. Orange County currently has an agreement with the City of Mebane, signed in 2004, which Mebane has agreed to provide water and sewer utility service to a portion (approximately 800 acres) of the Buckhorn Economic Development District (EDD) and land near the Petro Mart off of Buckhorn Road. However, the gravity outfall section north of Bowman Road, which is part of this Phase 2 infrastructure project, has the potential to serve an area not covered by the existing agreement. A draft version of this modified agreement, which will include over 400 additional acres, is 2 currently being presented by staff and will be brought to the BOCC at a regular meeting in February. In addition to the permitting and agreements with the City of Mebane, HUA has identified several areas where easements will be required to construct and operate the new water and sewer infrastructure. Staff has asked HUA to develop a proposal to acquire the easements. It is anticipated that work to acquire the easements for the project will also be concurrent with permit acquisition and should be completed in roughly the same time frame. Given the above information regarding the permitting timeline, it is likely the project will be ready to bid in the Summer of 2012. Between now and then, the BOCC will be asked to 1) review and approve the modified water and sewer service agreement with Mebane and grant the Manager the authority to sign the permit applications in February, 2) review and approve the budget for the project during the upcoming CIP review process and 3) possibly approve the release of the project for bid before the summer break. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving this report. Funds necessary to support the completion of this project were anticipated to be funded through the economic development infrastructure '/4 cent sales tax. The anticipated costs for constructing this project are included in the County's current Capital Improvement Plan and will be formally proposed for the 2012-2013 budget. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive this report and provide any feedback as necessary.
