SUMMARY:
The Parks Department is requesting the Board of Supervisors to approve and authorize the execution of an Agreement on behalf of the County of Monterey with Cotton Shires and Associates, Inc., to develop geological investigation, analysis and engineered design alternatives for the lower sloped area adjacent to and below Turn 6 of the racetrack at Laguna Seca Recreation Area, and down slope onto Bureau of Land Management property, in Monterey County, California, for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017
DISCUSSION:
The project is to provide a geotechnical evaluation by analyzing the existing landscape, its hazards and level of risk, in order to develop recommendations for drainage solutions, slope stabilization and remediation efforts to protect the racetrack from potential slope failure while also improving environmental conditions in the down slope area on BLM property. The report shall conclude with proposals for cost effective mitigations consisting of feasible design alternatives. The project shall also address erosion con...
