III. Reasons for Recommendation and Background:
In the fall of 2000, the CHAD initiated an investigation of potential sub-surface movement in the
Sequoia Terrace/Conifer Terrace area of Blackhawk. A number of monitoring devices were installed
on Homeowner Association property to monitor groundwater levels as well as sub-surface ground
movement and six horizontal drains were installed in the hillside above Conifer Terrace. In April of
2001, some of the more sensitive monitoring devices began to detect very minor sub-surface
movement. The GHAD's Geotechnical Consultants recommended that the GHAD initiate additional
and more specialized geotechnical investigations in the area and ultimately concluded that there is an
area of potential instability and recommended that the District initiate a project to install a number of
ground anchors to increase the stability of the slope.
Plans,specifications and estimates were developed for the project and the GHAT)advertised for bids.
Pursuant to the provisions of Resolution 86/370,three pre-qualified contractors were invited to submit
bids. Bids were received and opened in the office of the General Manager on December 1.3,2001,and
the Board of Directors ratified the general Manager's decision to award the contract to Drill Tech
Drilling and Shoring on December 18,2001. License Agreements providing the GHAD with sufficient
rights to enter upon and repair the landslide as well as necessary indemnification were secured from all
affected homeowners, as well as the Blackhawk Homeowners Association(HOA).
As was originally anticipated, landscaping in the open space area owned by the Blackhawk
Homeowners Association on the hillside along Conifer Terrace was damaged as a result of this repair
project. Now that the project is complete,the Blackhawk Homeowners Association has obtained bids
from two qualified contractors for repair and replacement of the landscaping. In order for the
Blackhawk Homeowners Association to be reimbursed for this expense,an amendment to the License
Agreement must be executed between the Blackhawk GHAD and the Blackhawk Homeowners
Association.
IV. Consec,Luences of.Negative Action.:
Without Board approval,the CHAD would not be able to reimburse the Blackhawk Homeowners
Association for the landscaping work on the hillside along Conifer Terrace.
