FROM: Steven Lederer, Public Works Director
REPORT BY: Steven Lederer, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Receive a report on emergency storm repair projects currently under construction
RECOMMENDATION
title
Receive a report on projects requiring expedited emergency contracting procedures to repair damage from the February storms and affirm the need to continue this action. (No Fiscal Impact; Discretionary)
[4/5 vote required]
body
BACKGROUND
Recent storms caused significant damage to the County road system, resulting in the Board of Supervisors declaring a state of emergency. Some of the sites require immediate action to protect the public and ensure the damage does not spread to other areas. The County used emergency contracting procedures to initiate work on these areas, which allowed for reduced time to hire contractors to perform the work.
Per Public Contract Code section 22050(c)(1), when the Board orders expedited contracting procedures be used, the Board shall review the emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter (but not more often than every 14 days) until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action.
The status of each project, and the estimated cost of each project, currently underway using this contracting provision is provided below:
Pope Canyon Rd. 4.35 ($250,000): Contract has been awarded and removal of unstable materials is commencing.
The Board has previously approved funding and no additional funds are being requested at this time. Good progress is being made, and staff recommends continuing these projects to conclusion, in order to expeditiously protect public safety and property.
Requested Action:
Receive the above report and affirm that these projects should continue under the expedited contracts.
