Consider continuing the emergency justification for work and emergency

Emergency Project. (Copp)
Recommendation: 1) Reconfirm, by a four-fifths vote, there is a need to
continue the work on the Emergency Project declared by Council-adopted
Resolution No. 2024-20 on May 7, 2024, finding an emergency exists requiring
immediate action in the Greater Portuguese Bend-Ancient Altamira Landslide
Complex (Landslide Complex) to seek to mitigate the movement of the
landslide; 2) Direct the City Clerk to confirm the same in the minutes of this
City Council meeting, via Minute Order, reflecting this action; 3) Approve
Amendment No. 1 to the Public Works Agreement (PWA) with Clarke
Contracting Corporation (Clarke) for emergency on-call landslide stabilization
construction services, storm drain repairs, sanitary sewer repairs and related
work, increasing the not-to-exceed amount for the initial one-year term by
$1,000,000 from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 while maintaining a 10%
contingency, for which the completed value of work under the amended
Agreement will not exceed the project budget; and, 4) Authorize the Mayor to
execute PWA Amendment No.1 with Clarke in a form approved by the City
Attorney.
