The <br />contractor has substantially completed the infrastructure improvements associated with the project, and <br />one of the primary items remaining to be completed on the job is turf establishment. I'm sure you are <br />aware of the challenges we've faced to date in making sure this item is completed to project <br />specifications and City standards, and we have now reached agreement with the contractor on rectifying <br />this matter. Outlined below is a plan of action and schedule to complete this work: <br />• Next Wednesday & Thursday (6/29-30) the contractor will be on site with equipment to <br />mechanically rework the boulevard areas and remove the debris that is present. <br />• Next Thursday & Friday (6/30-7/1) the landscaper will be top dressing the site with screened <br />topsoil in the boulevard areas and installing grass seed and hydroseed mulch. <br />This schedule is weather dependent, but it appears we may have a break from the rain and this work can <br />be accomplished. <br />Some residents have expressed the desire to place sod on their property, as opposed to the City seeding <br />process, or perform some other type of turf establishment on their own. If you would like to perform <br />your own turf establishment the City will still move forward with the debris removal and black dirt top <br />dressing for you to complete the establishment. If you choose to perform your own turf establishment <br />the City will credit you the cost of the seeding and mulching, which has been calculated to be <br />$0. 15/square foot. An example of this potential credit on an area 200' x 10' would be 2000 square feet x <br />$0.15 = $300. We will work with you to determine the size of your establishment area and credit on an <br />individual basis. Please contact me prior to 12:00 pm on Tuesday, June 28th if you intend to self <br />perform so that we take the appropriate action to notify the contractor prior to seeding your property. <br />Please feel free to contact if you have any questions related to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tim Himmer <br />City Engineer <br />(763) 433-9893 <br />thimmer@ci.ramsey.mn.us <br />
