Analysis
On May 18, 2015, due to unseasonably heavy rainfall, the landfill upper haul road suffered a landslide on the side slope, which continued to move through December 2015. Repeated attempts at stabilization proved unsuccessful. In March 2016, the City advertised for professional repair of this critical structure and the project was awarded by the Grand Prairie City Council to Gibson Earthworks of Granbury, Texas on May 3, 2016.
The current request is for funds required to pay for geotechnical work associated with the project, which will be performed by Alliance Geotechnical Group through an existing price agreement with the Engineering Department.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the geotechnical work in the amount of $6,000 is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Solid Waste Capital Projects Fund (502792) to WO #01612103 (Upper Haul Road Repair - Landfill).
