<br />Q: Where will I be able to pick up my mail? How will garbage service be affected? <br /> <br />A: Residents will be notified at the start of construction if removal of their mailbox is necessary to complete the work. If <br />so, the contractor will install temporary mailboxes as determined by the Post Office and residents will be notified of their <br />location. The existing mailbox will be salvaged until after construction and reinstalled in a similar location. <br /> <br />Trash pickup in the neighborhood will take place on the same day it currently occurs. The contractor will provide access <br />to the neighborhood to garbage trucks for pickup, or coordinate with the disposal service providers during the occasional <br />exception throughout the project to minimize inconvenience to the residents. <br /> <br />Q: How will the school bus pick up my children? <br /> <br />A: The City will coordinate with the bus company to determine if an alternate pick-up location is required during <br />construction. If a new location is required, the affected residents will be notified in advance. <br /> <br />Q: Will the contractor work in front of my house on weekends? <br /> <br />A: The City of Arden Hills has specified the following work hours: <br /> <br /> Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. <br /> Saturday, Sunday, Holidays 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Q: Will the areas of my lawn that are disturbed be replaced? <br /> <br />A: Sections of maintained lawn that need to be removed for construction will be restored with new sod at the end of the <br />project. The contractor is responsible for watering new turf areas for 30 calendar days following installation, after which <br />it is the homeowner’s responsibility. Please do not mow new turf with the rest of your lawn as this will damage it and <br />void the contractor’s warranty. All residents will receive mailings notifying them of the end dates of the contractor’s sod <br />maintenance period, as well as tips on how best to care for new sod. <br /> <br />Q: How are landscaping features and lawn irrigation systems dealt with during construction? <br /> <br />A: The contractor will work to protect most items such as small retaining walls, landscape features, or irrigation systems <br />found in the homeowner’s yard. For underground items such as invisible pet fences and irrigation lines within the City <br />right-of-way, homeowners are responsible to mark them so that the contractor can work around them and protect them <br />as much as possible from damage. If you have any landscaping or underground items that you would like to save and <br />reinstall yourself following construction, please plan to remove these items from the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Q: How are special deliveries, weddings, graduations, garage sales, etc. to be addressed during construction? <br /> <br />A: If you are anticipating a special delivery, open house, or any other activity during the summer construction schedule, <br />please notify the onsite project representative of the time and date in which this will occur. The contractor and project <br />staff will do their best to provide access and/or on street parking as necessary. <br /> <br />Q: Where can I find additional project information? <br /> <br />As it becomes available, project information can be found on the City of Arden Hill’s web page at <br />www.cityofardenhills.org. If you have any questions or comments regarding the project prior to construction, please <br />contact the Public Works Department at 651-792-7846.
