BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Several previous City Council reports containing detailed background information
are attached. The following is a brief summary:
On February 12, 2005, after near-record rainfall, the slope on the properties at
10747 and 10751 Cranks Road failed. The following properties were subsequently
red-tagged by City staff: 10745, 10747 and 10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and
5724 Tellefson Road. Additionally, Tellefson Road from Bernardo Road to Cranks
Road was closed to through traffic.
After significant meetings between the City, the residents, the State Office of
Emergency Services (OES), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), on May 22, 2006, the City Council approved entering into a professional

services agreement with Geo-Environmental, Inc. for the design of the slope repair
and construction inspection services.
A settlement agreement was approved by the City Council with the property
owners in January 2007 for the construction of a 3-tiered soldier pile retaining wall
system for the subject properties.
On August 30, 2007, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Malcolm
Drilling Company, Inc., for reconstruction of the subject slope. In October 2007,
reconstruction of the subject slope commenced. The residential structures at
10745 and 10747 Cranks Road were demolished to accommodate a 200-foot long
crane and other heavy construction equipment. Also the overhead utility lines
were relocated.
Heavy construction began in February 2008 with placement of 50 foot long steel I-
beams to structurally support the reconstruction of the slope. Subsequently, wood
boards were installed between the steel beams. In May and June 2008, the
construction of reinforced concrete caissons and a bridging structure occurred to
protect the City of Los Angeles’ 100 inch diameter North Central Outfall Sewer
(NCOS) main. This work was completed in July 2008.
In August and September 2008 the soil on the slope was graded and compacted
behind the new retaining wall system. Also safety cable rails were installed on top
of the walls. Finally the slopes behind the walls were sprayed with hydroseed for
erosion control.
FEMA Funds
Currently, staff anticipates reimbursement of $909,296 from FEMA/OES for the
design and construction of the project. Staff is currently preparing the application
to obtain the reimbursement funding. Also, it is the opinion of the project
geotechnical engineer that the slope failure encompassed a larger area than
what was originally assumed. Accordingly, staff is seeking additional
reimbursement from FEMA/OES for a greater portion of the total cost of the
project.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The original contract amount with Malcolm Drilling Company, Inc. was $3,207,700,
This amount was increased by $103,965 (3.24% of initial contract amount) due to
change orders. Therefore, the final contract amount is $3,311,665. The change
orders were for the relocation of power lines, asbestos abatement for the City of Culver City, California

At the meeting of August 30, 2007, the City Council authorized the Public Works
Director/City Engineer to increase the construction contract with Malcolm Drilling
Company, Inc. and the professional services contract with Geo-Environmental, Inc.
by an aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000 due to unforeseen conditions.
The final invoice from Geo-Environmental, Inc. exceeds this contingency amount
by $6,781. Therefore, staff requests the City Council increase the contingency
amount by $6,781 to account for this increase via budget amendment. A four-fifths
affirmative vote is required to amend the budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a budget amendment of $44,904
and a professional services agreement with Geo-Environmental, Inc. for the final
design of the slope repair behind the properties located at 10745, 10747, and
10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson Road.
A four-fifths affirmative vote is required to amend the budget.
BACKGROUND:
On February 12, 2005 a landslide occurred on the slope in the rear of the
properties located at 10747 and 10751 Cranks Road and 5724 Tellefson Road.
After consultation with a geotechnical firm, the Public Works Department and
Building and Safety Division deemed five properties (including 10745 Cranks Road
and 5722 Tellefson Road) to be unsafe for human habitation and all were 'red-
tagged.' Also due to the imminent threat of further sliding, Tellefson Road was
closed between Cranks Road and Bernardo Road.
Portions of this slope were subjected to landslides in the 1960's, 1978, late 1980's,
and in 1993. There have been several variations of repairs conducted throughout
the years that were funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) and the property owners. The most recent repairs to the slope occurred in
zet
-11JCity of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
1993 when a soldier-beam pile system consisting of three walls, a series of
terraces, and concrete gunite were installed.
The failure occurred under the concrete gunite that was placed in the rear
properties at 10749 and 10751 Cranks Road and 5724 Tellefson Road. The slope
further east at the rear properties of 10745 Cranks Road and 5722 Tellefson Road
did not fail; however, it was the opinion of the City's consulting geotechnical
engineer that there was an imminent threat for a slide to occur there.
March 2005 to June 2005
There were several meetings held with FEMA representatives and the property
owners regarding repairing the slope. FEMA stated that the February 12, 2005
event was included under the federal emergency declaration of the January 2005
storms. Also, they recommended that an extension be filed to ensure that the
window of receiving possible federal reimbursement for the repair work did not
expire after the first 6 months following the date of the disaster declaration (August
4, 2005). Staff filed a twelve month extension to complete the repair work. At the
same time it was determined that a geotechnical and geologic investigation of the
slope should be conducted.
On June 10, 2005, the City Council approved a budget amendment of $35,000 and
a professional services agreement with Zeiser Kling Consultants, Inc. for the
geotechnical and geologic investigation of the slope behind the five properties
The work consisted of the following:
1. Research existing geotechnical reports, geologic maps and reports, aerial
photographs, and meetings with staff.
2. Borings to a maximum depth of 80 feet.
3. Laboratory testing to determine pertinent engineering properties.
4. Engineering and geologic analyses to develop a geologic map and cross
sections for input into slope stability analyses and develop design parameters
for a soldier pile retaining system similar to existing walls.
5. Final Report and preparation of an RFP.
dune 2005 to November 2005City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda item Report
After two months of negotiations between the City and two property owners to
allow the contractor access to their private properties, exploratory drilling was
performed in August 2005 and a draft report was submitted to the City by its
geotechnical consultant on November 27, 2005. The report revealed that the main
cause of the slope failure was loss of friction between soil strata as a result of
percolation of large amounts of rain water during record storms in December 2004
and January 2005. The report recommended that a three soldier pile wall system
be constructed, (similar to the system of walls constructed on the adjacent slope in
1993), and extended across the properties at 10745 Cranks Road and 5722
Tellefson Road.
Meanwhile, staff continued to meet with FEMA and OES representatives regarding
the subject matter. FEMA's review of the draft geotechnical report resulted in
questions regarding the reason for extending the repair across the slope where
there was no failure. Since the initial slope failure, the slope has not failed,
however, the Public Works Director/City Engineer and Building Official continue to
keep these two properties red tagged due to a possibility of failure and as
recommended by Zeiser-Kling. The response to FEMA was prepared by Zeiser-
Kling and in summary stated that the adjacent slope experienced headward
enlargement or escarpment due the adjacent slope failure, as evidenced by a
growing widening cracks on the property line walls between 10743, 10745 and
10747 Cranks Road. Also, Zeiser Kling conducted a slope stability calculation and
determined that the slope behind the properties at 10745 Cranks Road and 5722
Tellefson Road has a factor of safety of less than 1.5 and with an elevated
groundwater level, would reduce to less than 1.0, similar to the condition of the
adjacent slope prior to failure. In addition it was concluded that the slope is
experiencing ongoing creep.
December 2005 to May 2005
Staff requested Zeiser Kling to submit a proposal for the final design of the soldier
pile system and submit a construction cost estimate. Zeiser-Kling, along with their
civil engineering sub consultant, Fuscoe Engineering of Irvine, California,
submitted a $425,000 cost proposal for the final design of slope repair. Also, they
estimated that the slope repair will cost about $1 million.
Because the proposal for design from Zeiser-Kling was much more costly than
anticipated, staff decided to request multiple proposals and issued a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to fifteen geotechnical design firms for the final design of the slope
repair. Only two firms responded, David Lee Associates and Geo-Environmental,
Inc. The other design firms were contacted and they declined to submit a proposal
due to their current full workload.|1010|52Ut
City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Upon review, David Lee Associate's proposal was determined to be non-
responsive because it did not include a final design of the repair and focused only
on the geotechnical analysis. Geo-Environmental's proposal was found to be
responsive and complete and they provided a total cost proposal of $118,000. The
proposal included material testing and inspection services during construction in
the amount of $30,080. Staff is recommending that this portion of the work be
awarded at a later date to coincide with the actual construction of the repair. With
this portion of the work removed from the contract, the final total cost proposal is
$88,550.
Under the current project worksheet approved by FEMA, the design is required to
be completed by August 3, 2006. Therefore, it is important to move ahead and
award a contract to complete the final design.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
It is recommended that funding for this work be allocated from unreserved General
Funds to Other Contractual Services 42300867. A 415 th vote is required to
approve this budget allocation.
FEMA has approved $82,150 as eligible reimbursement costs for design of the
repair of the slope failure. FEMA will fund $61,613.00 or 75% of the eligible cost,
and State OES will cover $15,403.00, approximately 19%. In addition to the
reimbursements just discussed, FEMA and OES have already paid to the City
$3,780.00 as an administrative allowance for the design process.
The City has already expended $6,000 and $32,150 for the preliminary
investigations and analysis by Group Delta Consultants and Zeiser-Kling,
respectively. The remaining total of FEMA/OES eligible reimbursement funds
available is $42,646. An additional $45,904.00 is required to fund the Geo-
Environmental, Inc. contract. The City potentially would need to absorb this
expenditure if an alternative source of funding is not identified. Staff will be
working with FEMA and OES officials in an attempt to get the approved amount of
funding for design services increased through an amendment to the FEMA
approved Project Worksheet. Additionally, a future agreement with the affected
homeowners may include provisions for paying for some or all of the shortfalls in
funding for both desi gn and construction of the repairs.
Future Repair Costs:
The construction of the repairs has also been approved by FEMA and OES for
reimbursement in the amount of $885,413.00. FEMA/OES anticipated
53City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
reimbursements, based on the percentages discussed above, are approximately
$832,280.00. FEMA/OES have also already paid to the City $39,767.00 as an
administrative allowance for the construction process. The City potentially would
again need to absorb an additional expenditure if an alternative source of funding
is not identified.
Also it should be noted that the actual cost of construction has not yet been
identified and it is therefore possible that the construction costs will exceed the
amount currently allocated by FEMA. Additionally, FEMA's approved scope of
work for the project currently differs from the scope of work that the City
recommends. For both of these reasons, there exists the potential for a significant
shortfall in funding for the construction phase. However, FEMA has left the door
open for a future revision to the Project Worksheet for the repair work to both
increase funding and to expand the scope of work. This will be discussed with
FEMA following completion of the design as FEMA has indicated that they cannot
make that determination without a completed design. Also, as stated earlier, in
working out the agreement with the property owners, the possibility exists for the
property owners to pay a portion of or the entire construction cost shortfall.

Cranks / Tellefson Road Slide Slope Repairs
PROJECT GOALS
This project will provide repairs to the slope damage caused by the recent storms during the winter of 2004-2005 to
the previously repaired slopes following damage in the 1980s and 1990s. Geo-Environmental, Inc., in coordination
with its subconsultants, Wheeler & Gray, Inc. and Cabrinha Hearn & Associates, will provide engineering and
support services for the preparation of construction contract documents for public bidding for the projects.
The project site consists of a 30 to 75 foot slope between the City streets and residential lots located at 10743
through 10751 Cranks Road, and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson Road. The majority of the proposed repair areas are
owned by the private property owners. Based on the recommendations of the City's previous Geotechnical
Engineers, the Construction project will involve the demolition of the remaining slope facing construction of a two-
tier Cantilever Soldier Pile retaining wall system, backfill of the Soldier Pile wall, reconstruction of slopes as geogrid
reinforced slopes, construction of terrace drains, repairs of the existing undermined and damaged terrace drains as
well as repair of any damage to the existing Soldier Pile wall panel. However, the validity of the choice of the
provision of the two-tier Cantilever Soldier Pile retaining wall system as the most cost effective and prudent method
of slope repair will be independently verified by Geo-Environmental, Inc.
CRITICAL ISSUES
Critical issues for these projects are maintaining the construction budget within the available funds. According to
the City's RFP, the project budget for the restoration and rehabilitation of the damaged slopes, inclusive of all costs
of design, engineering, construction, permitting, fees, supervision and management is estimated to be $1.2 million.
The project site lies both within the City limits as well as private properties requiring polite interaction with the
property owners.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
A preliminary schedule is attached at the end of this section.
ACCELERATION OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Acceleration of the project schedule is best handled during design by determining construction methods and
techniques, project phasing, and project combinations that will serve to eliminate duplication of tasks, down time for
contractors' crews and equipment, and conflicts between critical path tasks during construction.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering will be conducted by Geo-Environmental, Inc. This task will independently determine the
cause or causes of failures with the purpose of designing repairs and restoration to eliminate, to the extent feasible,
the possibility of a similar failure in the future. In this process, the recommendations made by the City's previous

Cranks / Tellefson Road Slide Slope Repairs
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION — SLOPE STABILITY EVALUATIONS
CRANKS I TELLEFSON ROAD SLIDE SLOPE REAPA1R
CITY PROJECT NO. P-867
PURPOSE
GEI proposes to perform a soils investigation on the damaged slopes located at different locations to investigate the
cause of slides and provide recommendations for their stabilizations. This investigation will include the collection of
bulk and undisturbed soil samples from the site by drilling bucket-auger borings, laboratory testing to determine
pertinent geotechnical parameters, engineering analyses (slope stability evaluations) and preparation of a report
presenting recommendations for slope stabilization. The soil investigation reports will also identify any clayey
cushion, subsurface soil and bedrock conditions, which may be detrimental to the rehabilitation of the slopes. Our
scope of work is described in more detail below.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of our investigation to evaluate slope stability will consist of five tasks: (1) Background Data Review, (2)
Field Investigation, (3) Laboratory Testing, (4) Data Analysis, and (5) Report Preparation. These tasks are briefly
described below.
Task I - Data Review - Available geotechnical data regarding the subject site and surrounding areas will be
reviewed to assess the expected soil conditions at the site. The data review will include review of published
geologic maps, stereoscopic aerial photographs, and other information contained in our in-house files, and
City/County files.
Task 2 - Field Investigation - The field investigation will consist of advancing two (2) 24-inch diameter limited
access bucket-auger borings to an estimated depth of 30 feet below the ground surface. Based on our initial site
visit the heights of the slopes are estimated to be approximately between 30 to 75 feet. GE' will prepare benches on
the slopes to accommodate limited access drill rig. The boreholes will be downhole logged for in-situ soil and
bedrock conditions by a Certified Engineering Geologist. During our downhole logging, we will note the orientation
of the bedding planes and potential failure zones.
During drilling, we will collect bulk and relatively undisturbed drive samples of the subsurface soils. The drive
samples will be collected at approximately 5-foot intervals with a modified California split-tube sampler or a
standard penetration sampler. Bulk samples will be collected from soil cuttings generated during drilling. The
samples from the borings will be tested in the laboratory as described in Task 3.
Task 3 - Laboratory Testing - Samples collected during the proposed field investigation will be examined in the
laboratory to confirm field classifications. Selected samples from the proposed borings will be tested to help
evaluate engineering properties. The numbers and types of tests will depend upon the type of soils encountered.
For a list of anticipated laboratory testing please refer to Table 1- Fee Estimate.
GEF Proposal No. 06-062 6 Geo-Environmental, Inc.Project Understanding and Approach Culver City
Cranks / Tellefson Road Slide Slope Repairs
Task 4 - EnAjneering Analyses - Results from the field and laboratory data and GEN experience will be the basis
for the engineering analyses. GE! will provide engineering conclusions for the following:
? Type and extent of materials encountered,
• Sliding zones and the potential for larger sliding in the near future,
• Compaction characteristics of on-site soils,
• Presence of groundwater or seepage,
• Suitability of onsite materials for use for slope rehabilitation,
? Nature of bedrock and soil strength characteristics, and
• Recommendations for slope stabilization
Task 5 - Report Preparation - GEI's conclusions, recommendations and supporting field and laboratory test results
will be presented in an engineering report. A draft report will be submitted to you for review and comment The
final report will address and incorporate the review comments as appropriate.
The report will present drawings depicting construction details with sufficient information for the contractor to
implement the most cost effective alternative for the slope repairs.

CRANKS I TELLEFSON ROAD SLIDE SLOPE REPAIR
CITY PROJECT NO. P-867
PURPOSE
The City intends to restore and reconstruct portions of the slopes and roadways located at different locations in the
City (10743 through 10751 Cranks Road, and 5722 through 5724 Tellefson Road). The reconstruction program
includes the removal of debris, damaged sections and all disturbed soils. The restoration of the slopes and
roadways will include the construction of two-tier canilever soldier pile retaining wall, which include some other
pertinent small structures as curbs and gutters. GEI will provide geotechnical observations and soil testing services
during the reconstruction of the retaining wall and pertinent structures.
SCOPE OF WORK
Task '1 - Field Observations and Soils Testing
2.1.1 Evaluation of excavation: GEI's Engineering technician shall inspect the bottom of excavations for the
keys and benches to ensure that competent material has been exposed for the placement of the fill.
2.1.2 Evaluation of earth material to be used as fill: GEI's engineering technician will collect samples of the
proposed fill material and take them to the soils laboratory. Appropriate soil tests will be performed to
determine whether the fill material is appropriate for use in the reconstruction of the slopes and for the
new pavement sections.
2.1.3 Evaluation of compaction procedures: GEI's engineering technician shall evaluate the compaction
procedure for the backiiii of the slopes to ensure that the project specifications have been followed.
(Appropriate thickness of lift, proper compaction method, etc.).
2.1.4 Testing of compaction, moisture content, etc.: GEI's engineering technician shall conduct compaction
tests by Sand Cone Test Method (AS•M D1556) and Nuclear Method (ASTM D 2922-01) to determine
the relative compaction of the fill material placed for the restoration of the slopes and roadways.
During the progress of our work, our field technician will prepare daily field reports. A copy of these reports will be
submitted to the Inspector from the City of Culver City on a daily basis. The report will include a written summary of
the day's activities, a summary of all field-testing performed, and a listing of outstanding failing tests which have not
been reworked/retested. In addition, the location of all field density tests taken during the project will be plotted on
a set of plans that is maintained by the field technicians. The Contractor will be asked not to place any backfill
material that does not meet project specifications.
Testing time and the associated fees can be minimized by proficient and timely work by the contractor and by
coordination among project superintendent, the City Inspector and GEI engineers and technicians. When a larger
number of tests are scheduled at one time, greater efficiency can be achieved, resulting in lower overall fees.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final plans and specifications and
authorize advertising for bids for the slope repair behind the properties located at
10745, 10747, and 10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson Road (the
"Subject Properties").
BACKGROUND:
The history of this project is contained in the attached May 22, 2006 City Council
Agenda Item Report (Attachment 1). At said meeting the City Council approved the
following motions:
A. Approve a professional services agreement with Geo-Environmental, Inc. for
the final design of the slope repair behind the properties located at 10745,
10749, and 10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson Road,
B. Approve a budget amendment to transfer $45,904 from unreserved General
Fund to Engineering division in Other Contractual Services account 4
10160500.619800.; and,
C. Authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve an additional
change order in the amount of $30,080 for material testing and inspection
service to Geo-Environmental, Inc., during the time of construction.|1010|45City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
DISCUSSION:
The final plans and specifications are completed and the project is ready for
construction bids.
The work consists of constructing three retaining walls across the slope behind the
subject properties. The walls will be supported by steel beams drilled deeply into the
slope and then encased in concrete. The slope ratio between walls is 2:1 and a
drainage system is incorporated in the design for both surface and underground
water to prevent buildup of water pressure behind the walls.
In the past 18 months the City was a party (along with the owners of the Subject
Properties) in litigation stemming from the February 2005 landslide. The litigation
culminated in a global settlement among all parties, which was previously approved
by the City Council. The final plans and specifications for the necessary work, and
the construction thereof, is part of that settlement, and the project is now ready for
construction bids.
As part of the in-field review completed during preparation of the final construction
documents, the City and consultant learned that the large sewer trunk mainline
under the properties is possibly in conflict with a portion of the construction of the
project. The depth of several of the soldier piles for the new retaining walls will
potentially conflict with the sewer trunk main based on an estimation of the depth of
the sewer trunk line from old construction plans. Staff was unable to achieve
certainty with the City of Los Angeles on the exact depth and location of the sewer
trunk line. As a result, a portion of the final plans had to be redesigned to avoid the
likely conflict with the sewer trunk line.
Should the City Council authorize advertisement for bids this evening, it is estimated
that the work will begin in July 2007 and be substantially completed by September
30, 2007.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
This section is presented to the City Council in a confidential memorandum. It is the
policy of the City Council not to advertise the budget and engineer's estimate prior to
the closing of bids.
It should be noted that City staff is continuing its aggressive pursuit of funding from
the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA).

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Award a construction contract to Malcolm Drilling Company Incorporated
for the slope reconstruction adjacent to Cranks and Tellefson Roads, Project
P-867 as an urgency contract. (Four affirmative votes are required to
award the contract.)
2) Amend the existing Professional Services Agreement with Geo-
Environmental for Design and Construction Inspection services; and
3) Approve a Budget Amendment to increase the Appropriation in the amount of
$1,302,218 from the Self-insurance Fund Reserve.
A 415th vote is required to approve the budget amendment.
BACKGROUND:
On May 21, 2007, the City Council approved the final plans and specifications and
authorized staff to advertise for bids for the construction of the slope reconstruction
behind the properties located at 10745, 10747, 10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and
5724 T
ollefson Road. On June 21 and June 28, 2007 the project was advertised for
construction bids.On July 26, 2007, the bids were publicly opened by the Deputy City Clerk, yielding
the following bids:
CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT
Environmental Construction, Inc. $2,870,732.50
CalEx Engineering $4,163,000.00
Clarke Contracting $5,107,000.00
City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
These bids greatly exceeded the estimated construction cost of the project.
The City's Charter provisions regarding public works contracts l give the City Council
the authority to reject any and all bids presented. In addition, the Council, with four
affirmative votes, may award a contract without complying with the bidding
procedures, provided a public hearing is held on the award of the contract. In the
event of a condition of urgent necessity, the City Council may award such a contract
without a public hearing.
In accordance with the provisions of the Charter, on August 13, 2007, the City
Council unanimously rejected all the bids for a construction contract for the slope
reconstruction adjacent to Cranks and Tellefson Roads, P-867 and authorized staff
to negotiate with the three bidders and other contractors on behalf of the City.
DISCUSSION:
Ument Necessity
As discussed above, the City's Charter allows for the Council to award a contract
without complying with the bidding procedures and without a pubic hearing in the
event of a condition of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or
property. This will require four affirmative votes of the Council.
Staff and the City Attorney's Office have determined that an urgent necessity exists
under the current circumstances, as the contractor must order the steel for the
project by August 31 st or will have to wait until the Spring to place an order for steel.
It is critical that the project be started now.
1 Charter Section 2007 provides that the procedures for awarding public works contracts as set forth in the "old" Charter
will remain in effect until such time as the City Council establishes, by ordinance, different procedures. Therefore, the
current procedures are set forth in "old" Charter Section 1304.
soCity of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Negotiations
Negotiations immediately proceeded with Calex Engineering, Clarke Contracting,
and Malcolm Drilling Company Incorporated. Staff decided not to negotiate with
Environmental Construction, Inc. due to their lack of experience with slope
reconstruction projects and the fact that they had previously requested to withdraw
their original bid from consideration citing a clerical error that they made in their bid.
In addition to the two remaining bidders, staff negotiated with Malcolm Drilling, the
contractor for the slope reconstruction to the south of the subject properties in 1993,
who had expressed an interest in the project during the original bidding phase.
After the completion of the negotiations, a letter was mailed to each of the
contractors requesting submission of a best offer to the Public Works Director/City
Engineer by 3:00 P.M., Tuesday, August 28, 2007. The following are the bids
received:
CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT
Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc. $3,207,700
CalEx Engineering $3,604,400
Clarke Contracting $4,384,000
The final cost amount provided by Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc. is the lowest. Also the
following conditions were set by the City during the negotiations and Malcolm
Drilling Co. Inc. as part of their bid::
• 100 working days to complete the project
• Demolishing the house on the City owned property at 10745 Cranks Road
and utilizing the property for construction staging and access. (Based on
discussions with the contractors on this project, it is necessary to demolish
the home on City owned property at 10745 Cranks Road in order to provide
access for construction of the upper portions of the slope. The contractors'
bids are based on the assumption that the City will authorize the demolition of
this house. The cost of the demolition is included in the bid amount. The
estimated decrease in the value of the property due to demolition of the
existing house is approximately $300,000 and the expected recovery upon
sale of the property is in the range of $800,000 to $850,000. .
• The homes on the adjacent properties at 10747 and 10751 Cranks Road will
remain iii and shall be protected.|1010| 51City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda item Report
• Relocation of the Southern California Edison power pole lines at the top of the
slope will be conducted by others.
• Landscaping and irrigation of the reconstructed slope will be done by others.
• All construction inspection services will be paid for by the City.
• The City will make available property at 10100 Jefferson Boulevard for
stockpiling and material storage. (This is through a separate agreement with
the Los Angeles Community College District).
• It is understood that all other specifications and provisions in the original bid
apply to the project.
Staff reviewed all the bids and is recommending awarding a construction contract to
Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc., for the reconstruction of the slope adjacent to Cranks
and Tellefson Roads
If awarded, the notice-to-proceed letter for the prOcurement of the steel materials will
be faxed and mailed to Malcolm Drilling Co. inc. on Friday, August 31, 2007, 8
A.M. This will facilitate the project by making sure that the steel materials necessary
to construct the project are obtained at the earliest possible date. There is a 4-6
week lead time to procure all the steel beams for the construction. A second notice-
to-proceed letter to commence construction will be issued at a later date following
execution of the contract documents. The 100 working days on the project will begin
after receiving delivery of the steel materials. There is a $500 per day liquidated
damage charge for the work not being completed on time. This does not include
delays due to material delivery and inclement weather.
Staff is estimating that the notice-to-proceed letter to commence construction will
occur sometime between October 1 and October 15, 2007. With 100 working days
on the project, the estimated completion date of the project is March 31, 2008.
Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc. has extensive experience in slope reconstruction
projects. Also the bonding capacity and insurance requirements were verified to be
valid.
The construction management of the project will be performed by in-house
personnel and Geo-Environmental, Inc. will perform construction inspection and
material testing services under the existing approved agreement.
City - of Los Angeles Sewer Trunk Line
4City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
As mentioned in the May 21, 2007 City Council agenda report, staff and the
consultant learned that the large City of Los Angeles 118 inch diameter sewer trunk
mainline under the properties may be in conflict with a portion of the construction of
the project. The depth of several of the soldier piles for the new retaining walls may
be in conflict with the sewer trunk main based on an estimation of the depth of the
sewer trunk line from the original construction plans. The sewer trunk line was
tunneled in 1956. Staff was unable to verify the exact depth and location of the
sewer trunk line with the City of Los Angeles. As a result, a portion of the final plans
had to be redesigned to avoid a likely conflict with the sewer trunk line. The
redesign includes a bridging structure.
Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc. has provided a cost of $916,900 to construct the bridging
structure and foundations. Malcolm Drilling Co. Inc. is required to pothole the
sewer line to establish the depth and alignment as the first order of work on the
project. If the sewer line is discovered to not be in conflict with the proposed
construction, it will be a significant cost savings to the project. Staff will inform the
City Council of the findings.
FEMA
FEMA previously denied the City's request for an extension of the deadline to
complete the project by October 15, 2007. However, in May 2007, staff filed an
appeal. We do not expect to receive word from FEMA regarding this appeal for
several more months. However, in June the California Governor's Office of
Emergency Services (OES) forwarded the City's appeal to FEMA with a
recommendation that the appeal be approved. If the appeal is approved, staff will
then request additional funding from FEMA to cover the additional construction costs
required to avoid the potential conflict with the sewer trunk line (assuming the
potholing referenced above does confirm a conflict). FEMA was not aware of this
conflict when they made their original cost estimation for the project. Additionally,
staff will request to increase the funding for the design costs as these costs have
exceeded FEMA's original estimate as well.
Additional Costs and Reimbursements
Per the terms of a settlement agreement involving litigation that arose out of the
slope failure, the City is required to reimburse living expenses to the owners of the
properties at 10745 and 10747 Cranks Road and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson Road
from September 30, 2007 until the time they are allowed to reoccupy their
residences. The total cost to the City in this regard is $9,850 a month. This amount
is further reflected in the Fiscal Analysis section of this report.
Geo-Environmental, Inc.|1010|53Sti
City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
On May 22, 2006, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with
Geo-Environmental, Inc. for the final design of the slope repair behind the properties
located at 10745, 10749, and 10751 Cranks Road and 5722 and 5724 Tellefson
Road and authorized the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve an
additional change order in the amount of $30,080 for material testing and inspection
service to Geo-Environmental, Inc. during the time of construction.
Due to the discovery of the potential conflict with the City of Los Angeles' sewer
trunk line, staff directed Geo-Environmental to modify the plans and design a
bridging structure. The complexity of this structure required much time to conduct
structural calculations and design work to bridge over the sewer trunk line. As a
result, Geo-Environmental is requesting additional compensation in the amount of
$36,450, for a total of $125,000, for the final design of the project. Staff is
recommending the City Council approve an amendment to the existing agreement
with Geo-Environmental for the additional design services.

6City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
If it is discovered that the City of Los Angeles sewer trunk line will not be in conflict
with the proposed improvements, there is an estimated cost savings of at least
$800,000. With the deletion of the bridging structure and foundation, the proposed
retaining walls would then be constructed to extend across the top of the sewer trunk
line.
