11. FINACIAL IMPACT: >
This contract amendment' allows for an additional $16,000 above the
previously approved contract limit of $28,200, funded by Road Funds
(100%).
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
On January 14, 2002, the County executed a Consulting Services
Agreement with CalEngineering and Geology to provide consulting
engineering services for repair of a landslide located on Wildcat Canyon
Road, approximately 0.5 miles west of San Pablo;Darn Road'in the Orinda
area consisting of three phases of work. 1) Field Reconnaissance and
Engineering Analysis; 2) Construction Support; and 3) On-call services for
other sites on Wildcat Canyon Road and possibly other nearby roads. The
additional amount of $16,000 is necessary to provide a detailed
assessment of road embankment stability risks along Wildcat Canyon Road
outside the landslide' project limits. Portions of this 'road ;,between San
Pablo Dam Road and Inspiration Point are exhibiting cracking that is
symptomatic of roadway instability. The geotechnical survey will identify,
characterize, and categorize areas that are currently distressed or may be
subject to existing and future stability problems.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION`;'
If the amendment is not approved, potential embankment and roadway
failures may not be`identified, ;potentially 'exposing the public to traffic
delays and resulting in increased construction repair costs to the County.
