DESCRIPTION: On June 16, 1998, the City Council awarded the Dougherty Hills Slope Repair Project, Phase II, to Grade Tech, Inc. Phase I of this project removed unstable soil at the southern end of Crossridge Road and replaced it with a more stable sandstone material. Phase II relieved the hillside of water pressure below grade and controlled runoff at the surface in the mid- to northern portions of the slope behind Crossridge Road. Tltree separate subdrain systems were installed, and the groundwater was directed into concrete vee ditches and disposed of in the storm drain system. The combination of these two systems should provide sufficient drainage to prevent further destabilization of the soil. Santina & Thompson, consultant on contract to the City, has been directed to monitor the slope for any slippage by the use of a survey line across the slope. Staff recommends that Council accept improvements under Contract 97-11, and release the retention to Grade Tech Inc. in the amount of $5,777.50 after 35 days if there are no subcontractor claims.
