Short, Kleinfelder West, Inc., or designee, to execute a contract with IQ Construction for on-call construction observation and maintenance services, Danville area. (Blackhawk GHAD Funds) (District III) Project No.: 7760-6X5147 DATE: August 5, 2008 PAGE: 2 of 2 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: The Blackhawk GHAD conducts an annual Major Projects Repair and Capital Improvements Program to repair large landslides and repair or replace drainage deficiencies that may have occurred and been previously temporarily stabilized. Construction Observation: Annually,during execution of the Major Projects Construction Program the Operations Manager requires additional outsourced construction observation and project close-out assistance to facilitate an extraordinarily active construction program schedule, or a uniquely intricate project element that requires uninterrupted observation. The Blackhawk GHAD conducts an active Preventive Maintenance Program annually to reduce the risk of geologic hazards within the District. The Preventive Maintenance Program includes the monitoring and maintenance of hundreds of assets such as slope inclinometer sites,horizontal drain sites,piezometer sites,sub-drain outlet sites and soil moisture monitoring sites. Preventive Maintenance: The Blackhawk GHAD annually contracts for scheduled asset maintenance including;Inclinometer sites;Horizontal Drain Sites,Piezometer Sites; Subdrain Outlets and Soil Moisture Montitoring Sites.In addition,when appropriate additional installations of these monitors are installed associated with;known slope movements;high risk areas and incipient landslides; and as part of a preventive maintenance program or specific study. It is necessary to contract skilled resources to assist the GHAD in monitoring and maintaining existing facilities, including special parts fabrication, and the installation of new sites. Additionally, the GHAD annually contracts with local contractors to provide emergency response assistance to temporarily stabilize geologic hazards as they occur. The response team of contractors and consultants for the GHAD also must cooperate with and work along side other emergency response teams from other agencies within the District(eg: The Homeowners Association—Emergency Response Center(EOC) and the local Sheriffs Department., etc) during mutual assistance response conditions. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without Board approval, the District would not be able to carry out its mandate to prevent, mitigate and/or repair geologic hazards, putting properties and improvements at additional risk.
