More from the minutes
- “Because of the limited right-of-way, the only waterline route option available within public ROW, along the section of Long Shoals Road was to install the proposed waterline under the actual roadway, which is contrary to NCDOT’s encroachment policies.”
- “Because of the denial from NCDOT to allow the proposed water main to be installed under the paved road surface; the proposed water transmission main alignment had to be changed to be outside the NCDOT right-of-way, to be installed within private property throughout the Long Shoals project corridor.”
- “The proposed change order request is based on the amended scope.”
