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.
