11. Financiallmpact:
The estimated contract cost of the project is $21,500 (Local Road Funds).
III. Reasons for Recommenda#ions and Backgrounds
The project is needed to stabilize a failed embankment, which holds up the road'
along the edge of Wildcat Canyon Road. We require the services of a geotechnical
expert to investigate the causes of the landslide and recommend repair alternatives.
The site is located at the location of a recently replaced culvert and down drain,
approximately 200 feet southeast of a separate slope failure at MP 0.72 which is
currently being investigated under another contract.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action.
If the agreement is not approved, the repair will not be constructed this year.
Delaying this project until next year may result in additional road failure at the slide
location.
