FEMA, "Fact Sheet, Requirements of 44 CFR Section 65.10: Mapping of <br />Areas Protected by Levee Systems;" May 2007. <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Trivedi: <br /> <br />We are pleased to submit this proposal for levee certification services for the levee system along <br />the Redwood Shores Development and adjacent to the San Carlos Airport. The levee system <br />adjacent to the San Carlos Airport includes the portions south of the Redwood Shores <br />Development and within the City of Redwood City (northeast of the San Carlos Airport); <br />adjacent to the San Carlos Airport and within San Mateo County; and southwest of the San <br />Carlos Airport and within the City of San Carlos, California. The proposed improvements for <br />the Redwood Shores Levee will be designed to tie into the San Carlos Airport Levee. The <br />purpose of our services is to certify the subject levee system. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />We have submitted a proposal with a revised date of June 26, 2009, for a geotechnical <br />exploration to assist the design team in evaluating the improvements for the portion of the levee <br />system adjacent to the San Carlos Airport to comply with current FEMA standards. In addition, <br />we have completed our Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation of the Redwood Shores Levee <br />(Reference 1). We also prepared a letter summarizing our opinion regarding eventual <br />certification of the levees surrounding the Redwood Shores development in Redwood City, <br />California (Reference 2). The requirements of levee certification are outlined in Title 44 of the <br /> <br />2010 Crow Canyon Place · Suite 250 · San Ramon, CA 94583-4634 · (925) 866-9000 · Fax (888) 279-2698 <br />www.eng;eo.com <br />
