Construction costs for the intake tower replacement are expected to exceed $500,000. The Lake Orange Dam (hereafter "the Dam") is located at 1221 Lake Orange Road in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The Dam was constructed in the late 1960s via an earthen berm and concrete spillway/channel across the East Fork of the Eno River so as to create Lake Orange, a +/-150-acre surface water impoundment located within the Neuse River basin. The primary uses of Lake Orange are public water supply and maintenance of minimum dry weather flows in the East Fork of the Eno River. Limited recreational activities on Lake Orange are permitted as secondary uses. Lake Orange has a normal pool elevation of 615-ft (MSL) and has a drainage area of approximately 5,850 acres. The Dam structural height is approximately 40-feet with a normal pool freeboard of approximately 15-feet. The Dam crest length is approximately 1,100-feet and the Dam crest width is approximately 16-feet. The original construction of the Dam was funded via issuance of County bonds. The County is the current owner and operator of Lake Orange and the Dam. See Exhibit A for site location, driving directions and site photographs of existing conditions along the existing intake tower. Orange County reserves the right to reject any or all submittals, to waive minor informalities and to make such selection deemed in its best interest.
