BACKGROUND
At the intersection of El Portal Drive and Fordham Street, near the site of a major EMBUD water line rupture in 2011, an 18-inch storm drain carrying storm water runoff from the unincorporated Rollingwood subdivision has settled. It is believed that this has contributed to soil being washed away from under the surrounding roadway, sidewalk and retaining wall that holds up the road, thus undermining the infrastructure. The roadway deterioration required the City to conduct multiple efforts to patch the roadway. However, the runoff scouring the hillside down to San Pablo Creek and further destabilizing of the retaining wall remained. As discussed in previous staff reports (including November 20, 2017 and December 4, 2017 reports), the project to repair the roadway has been separated into two (2) phases. The first phase, and the subject of this staff report, repaved the failed section of roadway including the attached curb, gutter and sidewalk, and repaired the storm drain line and grouted under the retaining wall. The second phase will investigate a permanent solution to the ongoing erosion of the embankment.
