Newell Road Repair
Appeal Brief | Appeal Letter | Appeal Analysis | Back
Summary: As a result of heavy rainfall during the January 2005 Winter Storms, FEMA prepared PW #3103 in September 2005 for $854,835 to fund stabilization of a shallow slope failure in order to restore the unpaved shoulder along a section of Newell Road at Corral Canyon Road, in Los Angeles County. The PW calls for a 360-foot long soldier pile wall with pre-cast reinforced concrete panels. While the Applicant concurs with the length of the damaged slope, it contends that the repair requires a 383-foot long soldier pile wall, with a mix of single and double anchored tiebacks, reinforced concrete cost-in-place substantially more excavation, and removal and replacement of considerably more asphalt pavement and base. The estimated total project cost requested in the second appeal is $3,394,491.
Issues: (1) Should the scope of work be revised as requested by the Applicant?
(2) Should the cost be increased to $3,394,491 to cover the costs associated with the requested change to the scope of work?
Findings: (1) No. The Applicant has not provided supporting technical documentation to justify the requested change in scope of work.
(2) No. The Applicant has not provided supporting technical documentation to justify any change in the cost estimate.
Rationale: Stafford Act Section 406(e); 44 CFR §206.223(a) (1); 44 CFR §206.203(d) (1)
