III. Reasons for Recommendation and Background:
Engeo Inc., 2401 Crow Canyon Road, San Ramon, California has been providing professional
engineering services to the Blackhawk GHAD since the GHAD's inception in 1986. Engeo Inc. has
extensive experience in responding to and assisting the GHAD with the repair of landslides and
landslide related work in Blackhawk and the surrounding area.
Engeo possess first hand knowledge of the Blackhawk development through their long history serving
the GRAD. The firm assists GHAD staff in administering the Major Repair Program by performing
geotechnical engineering and materials testing, preliminary site reconnaissance and field evaluations,
and consultation on landslide and erosion hazards. Additionally, Engeo conducts bi-annual
measurements of piezometers and horizontal drains, collects and analyzes ground water sensor data and
provides initial incident response and evaluation under the GHAD's Preventative Maintenance and
Operations Program. Their expertise and knowledge of the geological makeup of the Blackhawk area
has been invaluable to GHAD staff in helping to repair landslides and anticipate problem areas within
the development.
William R. Gray and Company negotiated and approved professional services contracts between the
Blackhawk GHAD and Engeo Inc.'s annual contract with the Blackhawk GHAD for Fiscal Year
2001/2002.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Without Board approval, reimbursements for costs incurred to coordinate repair of the landslides will
not occur, and the GHAD will not be able to effectively respond to emergencies or execute its
preventative maintenance program during this fiscal year.
