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 that slide was cleared, it is 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.
Temporary stabilization measures were installed last winter to protect the site ahead of the expected winter rains. The permanent repair design is to extend an existing gabion wall and then grade the hillside back at a stable slope. Drainage improvements will also be made.
On June 7, 2022 the Board of Supervisors approved the White-Sobelman Landslide Nuisance Abatement - 3435 Redwood Road Project Plans and Specifications and authorized to advertise for sealed bids and opening of the bids pursuant to Section 20150.8 of the Public Contract Code. Bids were opened on July 14, 2022. Staff is now requesting to award the construction contract to move the project into construction.
