THAT WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County of
Harnett, by resolution adopted January 16, 1990, declared the Cape

the provisions of Article 3D, Chapter 143 of the General Statutes
of Horth Carolina (H.C. Gen. Stat. S 143-64.31 et. seq.); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to directives provided in said resolution,

i
WHEREAS, since the date of such engineer selections,
significant changes in circumstances have occurred with regard to
the Project including:
a. a substantial increase in the estimated cost of the same,
b. the loss of a Project participant, to wit: The Town of I
Lillington, resulting in the elimination of a previously
planned interceptor pipeline to serve said Town,
c. a change in the recommended treatment process to be
utilized at the proposed waste treatment facility, and
d. the passage of a period of several months during which
the status of the Project was being evaluated and
determined; and
WHEREAS, due to the described changes in circumstances, the
Board of Commissioners desires to reevaluate its selection of
engineers so as to meet the current needs resulting from such
changes; and
WHEREAS, no contracts or agreements have been entered into
with the engineers previously selected and no work regarding the
services to have been performed has been authorized; and
WHEREAS, the Board now desires to make provisions for the
selection of engineers for the Project as hereinafter provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners
of the County of Harnett that:
1. Such actions as taken by the Board set forth in the
Minutes of the meeting of the Board held on February 8, I
1990 regarding the selection of engineers for the Project
shall be and the same hereby are rescinded.
2. As previously provided by resolution of January 16, 1990,
and as authorized by N.C. Gen. Stat. S 143-64.32, the
Cape Fear Regional Wastewater System Project shall be and
remain declared exempt from the provisions of Article 3D,
Chapter 143 of the General Statutes of North Carolina
(N.C. Gen. Stat. S 143-64.31 et. seq. )
3. The following reasons for the declaration of exemption
above reiterated and provided and the circumstances
attendant thereto are:
a. The County desires to contract with engineers as
soon as possible so as to meet the forthcoming
deadlines applicable to the Project in a timely and
efficient manner, and finds that there is an
insufficient amount of time to proceed with the
various procedures and negotiation processes
outlined in N.C. Gen. Stat. S 143-64.31.
b. Due to the amount of funding available for the I
Project and the need to keep costs within said
funding, the County finds that engineering costs
should be evaluated in its selection process.
c. The County desires to procure the appropriate
services as described pursuant to the least costly
procedure available.
d. The County is uncertain as to what procedures it
must follow under the statutes cited above and
therefore desires to eliminate any difficulties it
may incur related thereto.

4. The appropriate agents and representatives of the County
are hereby directed to take such actions as are necessary
to provide recommendations to the Board relative to the
selection of engineers for the project.
