11. Financial Impact:
This contract amendment allows for an additional $10,000 above the previously
approved contract for$27,500,funded by Federal Emergency Management Agency
Funds (70%), State Funds (20%), Road Funds (10%).
111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On June 5, 2001, the County executed a Consulting Service Agreement with
Sanders and Associates Geostructural Engineering, Inc. (SAGE)to provide design
and construction related services for repair of erosion along Christie Road
approximately 1.1 mile south of Highway 4. Subsequently, it was necessary to
expand the scope of the original agreement in order to accommodate an existing
"high-risk" oil pipeline that traverses under the project site. This extra work is
estimated at$5,000 and includes alternative design analysis, coordination with the
pipeline company, and implementation of a soil nail testing program. In addition,
SAGE will be consulted during the construction phase of the project to ensure
proper implementation of the soil nail wall. The original budget for this on-call
construction related work is $2,210 and will be increased by $5,000. The extra
budget for on-call construction services will allow the County to be more able to
address unforeseen conditions during construction as recommended by SAGE such
as weak soils that may require additional soil nails.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the amendment is not approved, the County will need to consult with another
geotechnical firm not familiar with the project to provide on-call construction
services.
