Vision Alignment |
We believe our recommendation is consistent with Goal Number 7, "Maintain and Enhance the Public Safety of all Residents and Visitors" of the Shared Vision Commitment to "Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All," as the project helps to preserve Pescadero Creek Road which is a vital link for the residents in this rural area of the County. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
The total estimated construction cost for this project is $1,193,000, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency, as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., per linear foot for Steel Piling, Metal Beam Guard Rail, per Cubic Yard for Structural Backfill, etc.). The contingency is used to pay the Contractor for any additional units of items used, as the actual units will depend on the unit weight of material or the tolerances associated with the placement of material and other unknown or unforeseen work that may be required. |
| |
There is no impact to the General Fund. |

A form of Resolution has been approved by County Counsel. |
