III. Reasons for Recommendation and Background:
Engeo Inc., San Ramon, California provides geotechnical engineering and consulting services and
assists the GHAD in responding to emergencies. The firm also monitors piezometers and horizontal
drains inaintained by the District.
In June of 1999, Engeo, Inc., San Ramon, California was retained to provide on-call geotechnical
engineering and geologic consulting services during Fiscal Year 1999/00. The initial term of the
contract was one year and the contract payment limit was $190,800.00. At the end of the 1999/00 Fiscal
Year, almost $80,000 remained unallocated in the contract. In lieu of terminating Engeo Inc.'s 1999/00
contract, the General Manager extended its term through the end of the 2000/01 Fiscal Year. The Board
of Directors authorized increases in the contract payment limit on December 19, 2000 (from $190,800 to
$278,800) and on April 3, 2001 (from $278,800 to $298,800).
Engeo, Inc. has a task order contract with the Blackhawk GHAD. The District has been concentrating
its efforts on completing repairs to slopes and properties affected by the El Nino rains of 1998. Engeo
has been instrumental in this effort. At the request of the General Manager, the firm has been installing
inclinometers and piezometers in special study areas throughout the District, as well as providing
groundwater analysis, monitoring and slope stability analysis. These activities have depleted Engeo
Inc.'s current budget for Fiscal Year 2000/01. GHAD staff has determined that approximately
$20,000.00 is needed in order for Engeo to complete their work for this current fiscal year. William R.
Gray and Company recommends approval of Engeo Inc.'s contract extension with the Blackhawk
GHAD for Fiscal Year 2000/01.
V. Consequences of Negative Action:
Without Board approval, the GHAD will not be able to effectively respond to emergencies during the
remainder of this fiscal year.
