Title
POTRERO CANYON CONSTRUCTORS
Subject
Motion - Potrero Canyon was acquired by the Department of Recreation and Parks in 1964 to provide a connection between the Palisades Recreation Center located on the bluff overlooking the ocean and the coastline. In 1978 and 1980 significant storms resulted in severe runoff in the canyon and landslides occurred which resulted in significant damage to private property. The City eventually purchased 23 lots overlooking the canyon for $10.8 million as part of settlement agreement relative to lawsuits filed after the landslides. Additionally, to settle other lawsuits which were filed, the City agreed to stabilize the canyon in three phases. Phase I, which was the installation of a storm drain system, was completed in 1990. Phase II, which is currently in progress, requires the stabilization of the hillside area in front of the canyon, demolition of the Sunspot Motel and construction of a new entry road to facilitate completion of the project. THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council, subject to the approval of the Mayor, approve the amendment to Contract No. 2387, as attached to the file, between the City and Potrero Canyon Constructors, in an amount of $344,000 for the period December 4, 1996 through June 30, 1997, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality, and authorize the President and the Secretary of the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners to execute the contract.
