MEMORANDUM
TO: Frank W. Clifton, Jr., Orange County Manager
Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Planning & Inspections Director
DATE: November 20, 2012
SUBJECT: Eno Economic Development District Engineering Progress Update
ATTACHMENT: Exhibit A— Draft Eno EDD Water& Sewer System Project
City of Durham— Scope of Work
This memo serves as an update of the utility engineering work in progress with the City
of Durham in the Eno EDD area. The interlocal utility service agreement was adopted
in January of this year. Monies funded from the '/ cent sales tax became available as
noted in the CIP and 2012-13 budget as of July 1, 2012.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was distributed over the summer seeking qualified
engineers. Top prospective firms were chosen and presentations were made in early
fall.
The scope of work has been refined with the lead firm to include two phases; first, a
master planning element to determine, area, capacity needs, detailed hydraulic analysis
and best connections back to Durham infrastructure, and second, engineering design
and permitting with other engineering services as necessary. Orange County Planning
and Engineering Staff has been constantly involved in this process as outlined in the
agreement. Durham City is the lead and will be bringing contracts forward to their
council in December. After confirmation, we will further inform the Board of specifics
including timeline and cost.
If you have questions in the interim, please call my office.
Thank you.
