<br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> . MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: November 6, 1997 <br /> TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> I <br /> ') tV <br /> FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director"---'s, <br /> SUBJECT: Cummings Park Wash-out Repair Final Pay Estimate <br /> Contract Change <br /> Glenn Rehbein Excavating Inc. was the low bidder for the project at $30,905. When I met with <br /> the Project Coordinator, we discussed substituting erosion controlling sod in lieu of rip rap for <br /> the top portion of the washed out area. Rehbein has a turf specialist who recommended the use <br /> of a product called "Stay-Turf'. This product was developed in Australia and has a plastic mesh <br /> grown into the sod. Rehbein has used it on a number of athletic facilities as well as drainage <br /> areas. The original design called for placing rip rap over the entire hillside. Mr. Stonehouse <br /> concurred with my proposed change from using all rip rap to substituting stay-turf on the top of <br /> the portion of the hill. <br /> This change resulted in a deduction of $3,500 from the original contract price. <br /> -. FEMA FundinQ: Assisstance <br /> - I am anticipating the reimbursement of $4,284 from the Federal Emergency Management <br /> Agency before the end of the year. <br /> - <br /> - Recommendation <br /> - The project has been satisfactorily completed for $27,405.
