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.
