Lakeville, Minnesota 55044 (612) 469-388~ April Z7, 1987 Mr. Lloyd Schnelie, City Administrator City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Rams. ey, Minnesota 55303 Improvement Project 81-6 Peltzer Addition Dear Lloyd: As requested, we have reviewed Marilyn Gallagher's request dated April 14, 1982, to consider calling in the bond on the above referenced projects. Our inspection of the project did not reveal any major problems with the streets. In review of the cracks that cross the roadway, we did not find any that were unuuat for the temperature differentials associated with the climate in Minnesota. Crack- ing of roadways is very common in this climate. tn review of the cracking edges, we found this was generally caused from excess bituminous spilling over the edges in the compaction process. We did, however, find a couple areas where the edges would need repair and additional shoulder material would be required. This work is scheduled to be completed in the next couple of weeks. In response Lo the insufficient melding or overlapping of the seams, this is a com- mon occurrence during construction of streets during cooler weather. However, this overtopping will not affect the structural integrity of the street and with the warmer weather and traffic these seams soutd become less visible. Following the completion of all repairs and cleanup by the contractor, we will be recommending final payment on the project. However, as stated in Article 20 of the General Conditions to the contract documents this payment will not release the con- tractor or his sureties from any obligations under the contract documents or the performance bond. civil · municipal · planning $ environmental · land surveying · geotechnics · waste treatment
