south creek bank (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, in addition, the Project enhanced the drainage, including adding new bar
screen gates at the outlet and inlet of existing reinforced concrete box storm drains, and rip rap,
as well as other site improvements that included installing a new retaining wall, concrete
driveways, perimeter wrought iron fencing, and access gates to secure the area; and
WHEREAS, on September 7, 2021, City Council awarded the contract for the Project to
Wright Construction Engineering Corp. ("Wright") in the amount not to exceed $818,733.60 and

conditions that may arise; and

Wright; and
WHEREAS, construction on the Project started on February 14, 2022 and was completed
on October 24, 2022; and
WHEREAS, after Project completion and within the Project's 1-year contractual

slope; and
WHEREAS, after investigating the site with the Project team, the City Engineer directed
Wright to repair the slope on a time and materials ("T&M") basis in the interest of public safety;
and
WHEREAS, during repairs, Wright discovered that the failure was attributable to an
unknown pipe just below the slope excavation that ultimately created soil intrusion, resulting in
the slope failure and causing the ACB to settle; and

original authorized 15% contingency amount by $64,218.07; and

WHEREAS, the Notice of Completion will be filed with the San Diego County Recorder's
Office.
