Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a contract with GeoVert for DWP Trail Rock Fall Mitigation for an amount not to exceed $302,218.00.
Overhead loose rock along the historic DWP rail line could impact the trail and its users. This project will remove hazard rock from the rock cuts and tunnel area through various methods such as scaling, bolting and wire mesh installation. Climbing areas are present in this corridor and careful consideration will be taken when these areas are cleaned of loose rock as to not compromise long established climbing routes. Brush and trees that are growing in the rock faces will also be removed to ensure the expansive action of the roots do not further compromise the stability of the rock. All demolition rock and stone will be disposed of on site and naturalized to fit in with the landscape.
