RE:

North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Three Party Right-of-Way Encroachment Agreements Affecting the New Jamestown Middle School

Construction of the new Jamestown Middle School, located off Harvey Road in Jamestown, is currently underway. To provide water service to the new school, Guilford County Schools will be required to construct two segments of what is expected to ultimately be a public water main.  An 8” water main segment will run west approximately 800 linear feet from the Jamestown Middle School property line within the right-of-way of Hethwood Drive (SR 1445) to Harvey Road and then a 10” water main segment will run north approximately 2,050 linear feet (with 50 linear feet of 16” steel encasement) within the right-of-way of Harvey Road (SR 1355) to a connection point in the right-of-way of Vickery Chapel Road. The remaining water main segment will be within the school property boundary.

Since a portion of the water main will lie within state maintained road right-of-way areas, the NCDOT is requiring that the Guilford County Board of Education and the Town of Jamestown (which will maintain the water lines within the road right-of-way areas) execute Three Party Right of Way Encroachment Agreements for the water main portions lying within the rights-of-way of Hethwood Drive and Harvey Road.

GCS legal counsel has reviewed this packet of materials.

RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends that the Board approve the execution and delivery of two NCDOT Three Party Right-of-Way Encroachment Agreements, as described above, affecting the new Jamestown Middle School.
