Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute three encroachment agreements with Enbridge Gas North Carolina for the installation of sanitary sewer, potable water, and electrical service for the Sheriff’s Training Facility. These three utility services will be crossing under gas lines maintained by Enbridge Gas North Carolina that traverse a portion of County owned property.
The executed encroachment agreements are part of the construction of the new Sheriff’s Training Facility project and will ensure that the facility has proper water and sewer service as required by code. The encroachment agreements have been reviewed and approved by the Durham County Attorney.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This aligns with the Strategic Plan Goal - Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment - through the improvement of an existing facility while repurposing land that is the site of a closed landfill and by providing consolidated Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) services into one facility, providing more efficient training/service delivery.
Resource Persons: Joel T. Jones, Project Manager; Jim Faress, Senior Project Manager; Peri Manns, Deputy Director Engineering & Environmental Services; David LaBarre, DCSO Director of Planning and Development; Hyrum Hemingway, Assistant County Attorney
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board authorize the County Manager to execute three encroachment agreements with Enbridge Gas North Carolina for the installation of sanitary sewer, potable water, and electrical service for the Sheriff’s Training Facility.
