II. Financial Impact:
There should be no financial impact if the borings are completed according to standard
procedures as outlined in the agreement.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The County has been granted Federal funds to replace the Bethel Island Road Bridge. As part
of the design process, soil borings will be required in the vicinity of the new bridge
abutments and approach roadways which are in RD 799's jurisdiction. RD 799 agrees to
permit the soil borings if the County agrees to a one-year indemnification for the borings.
The County agrees to repair any seepage that may develop along the perimeter of the
borings for a period of one year after the date the borings are completed.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The Bethel Island Bridge Replacement Project cannot be designed, or built, without the
information derived from these soil borings.
