PURPOSE: To consider the approval of a professional services contract (Attachment 1) in the
amount of $108,000 with BGE, Inc. for the Lake Orange Perimeter Survey project (hereafter
referred to as the "Project").
BACKGROUND: Lake Orange is a 150-acre surface water reservoir owned and operated by
Orange County and located approximately six miles north of downtown Hillsborough. Orange
County owns the property under Lake Orange up to an elevation of 615-ft. mean sea level (MSL),
which is the normal pool elevation of the lake. Lake Orange, Inc., a private development
corporation, owns the recreational rights to the surface of the lake and some of the land around
the lake. Orange County also holds the rights to a flood easement across all of the property
around Lake Orange between the 615-ft. and 620-ft. MSL elevations. The deed for Lake Orange
is recorded in Book 212, Pages 362-365 of the Orange County Register of Deeds.
Lake Orange was constructed in the late 1960s via a 40-foot tall earthen dam and concrete
spillway across the east fork of the Eno River. Lake Orange was built to serve as a source of
water supply for local communities and Orange County residents. The primary purpose of the
lake is public water supply for downstream users. Secondary purposes of the lake include various
recreational uses by Lake Orange, Inc., which in turn leases via lake access permits. Lake
Orange provides critical redundancy to regional water supply and provides year-round water flow
to the east fork of the Eno River during extended dry periods. Lake Orange serves as a partial
water supply to Orange Alamance Water System (OAWS) and Resco Products, Inc. (formerly
Piedmont Minerals). It is also a partial water supply for the run-of-river operation of the West Point
Grist Mill and helps to ensure swimmable and fishable conditions within the West Point on the
Eno City Park, owned and operated by the City of Durham. Although the Town of Hillsborough
(Town) owns and operates the West Fork of the Eno Reservoir (WFER) as its primary water
supply, Lake Orange is a direct back-up water supply for the Town. Lake Orange is also a back-
2
up water supply (via the Eno River) for the Town, OAWS, Orange Water and Sewer Authority
(OWASA) and the City of Mebane by virtue of emergency water interconnections.
The Project is part of Orange County's current (FY 2023-33) Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (see
Attachment 2 for FY 2023-33 CIP Summary). The Project scope is specific to a topographic
survey of the full perimeter of Lake Orange (approximately six miles) inclusive of: aerial
photography and mapping, geospatial location of the 615-ft and 620-ft elevation contours
surrounding Lake Orange, and geospatial location of over 100 private docks/ramps/bulkheads
and/or other private structures located around the shorelines of Lake Orange. Private lot surveys
and/or private lot title surveys are not included in the Project scope.
All work for the Project will be conducted on property owned by Orange County and/or Lake
Orange, Inc., or, conducted within the recorded flood easements located adjacent to the shoreline
of Lake Orange. The topographic survey work will be geospatially tied into known vertical and
horizontal datums. Prior to the commencement of work, Orange County staff will schedule and
conduct a Neighborhood Information Meeting with affected Lake Orange residents and/or affected
property owners to explain the Project and field any questions/inquiries/concerns from the public.
Attachment 3 details the Scope of Services.
On April 27, 2023, Orange County published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 367-005385
for the Project. On May 16, 2023, Orange County received eight (8) Statements of Qualifications
from qualified Professional Surveying consultants. The evaluation panel for the Project then
selected the four (4) highest scoring consultants for interviews based on the project-specific
scoring criteria as contained within the RFQ. Interviews were conducted by the evaluation panel
on July 25, 2023, and July 26, 2023. Subsequently, the Evaluation Panel selected BGE, Inc. as
the highest-qualified consultant for the Project, based on scoring and interview performance.
Attachment 4 is the Letter of Recommendation for the Project.
Orange County's standard professional services contract was modified to address vendor
concerns regarding its standard of care and professionalism, in order that it can be assured of
insurance coverage for the scoped work. BGE, Inc. shall perform its services consistent with the
professional skill and care ordinarily provided by similar professionals practicing in the same or
similar locality under the same or similar circumstances. BGE, Inc. shall perform its services as
expeditiously as is consistent with such professional skill and care and the orderly progress of the
project.
The anticipated Project schedule is as follows:
Task Duration/Completion Timeline
Aerial LIDAR/Photogrammetry Mapping 45 working days after Notice to Proceed (NTP)
Field Location of Structures Survey 75 working days after Notice to Proceed (NTP)
Mapping and Staking of 620-ft Contour 105 working days after Notice to Proceed (NTP)
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Through prior years' CIP budgeting and current year CIP budgeting, the
Board has appropriated $108,000 for the Project. The pending negotiated professional services
agreement will not exceed the appropriated budget for the Project.

SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The following Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impact is applicable to this agenda item:
• RESULTANT IMPACT ON NATURAL RESOURCES AND AIR QUALITY

agreement with BGE, Inc. (Attachment 1) on behalf of the Board, contingent upon final
review of the professional services agreement by the County Attorney; and
2. Authorize the County Manager to execute any subsequent professional services
agreement amendments with BGE, Inc., on behalf of the Board, up to the approved and
available CIP budget amount and subject to final review by the County Attorney.

Lake Orange(hereafter'the lake')is a Class II (WS-II) public water supply reservoir owned by Orange County.The lake was created in 1968 via the construction of an earthen
dam and concrete spillway across the east fork of the Eno River. The lake's primary uses are public water supply as designated by North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality(NCDEQ)and maintenance of minimum(dry weather)flows in the Eno River,as defined within the Eno River Water Management Plan (a.k.a.the Eno River Capacity Use
Agreement). The Lake Orange dam was classified by NCDEQ as a "High Hazard"dam in August 2011 which means that failure of the dam could result in severe property
damage and/or possible loss of life downstream. The Orange County Engineering Division, in coordination with contracted technical consultants,performed a series of detailed
inspections of the Lake Orange dam and its associated appurtenances(e.g. intake tower,erosion control barrier,emergency spillway,and concrete spillway channel)between
late 2018 and early 2022. Those detailed inspections have identified numerous deficiencies,most of which are due to the extended ages of the 54-year-old structures. This CIP
project represents a proactive, multi-year approach to repair these deficiencies by continuing to address the highest priority needs in FY2023-24, FY2024-25,and FY2025-26.
Future fiscal year funding amounts will address the need for complete replacement of the existing intake tower in FY 2023-24 and complete replacement of the existing
concrete spillway channel in FY 2025-26.This project represents the full cost of these repairs, but the county will seek federal infrastructure grants to reduce the cost of this
project.

the work.

with BGE, Inc., or, if the impending contract between Orange County and BGE, Inc. is terminated.
