EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Various dangerous and unauthorized improvements were made by the property owner at 3435 Redwood Road, APN: 035-320-002-000, resulting in a landslide that blocked Redwood Rd. for several days. Although Public Works crews cleared slide from Redwood Road, it was necessary for the County to implement hillside improvements to stabilize the site from causing more damage. The County will attempt to recover the costs of this work from the property owner.
The Board of Supervisors awarded a construction contract for $549,840 to Rehak General Engineering, Rehak began construction on August 2, 2022, and Rehak completed the work on November 2, 2022. During excavation work, the contractor removed unforeseen large boulders, and Public Works staff executed $74,551 in change orders. Removing the boulders also extended the construction project schedule, which caused extra inspection costs.
The Board authorized a budget of $800,000 from the County's Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund (ACO) for this project; however, County staff are requesting an additional $37,000 to close out this project.
