Last fall, we put together a letter outlining all of the outstanding issues at the park. Many of these <br />items were "punch list" type items which were subsequently corrected by the Contractor. Other issues <br />were corrected either by Bonestroo or by Veit in cooperation with Bonestroo. Two issues remain to be <br />corrected. <br /> <br />Rain Garden <br />The overflow to the rain garden was lowered and moved to the correct location to prevent flows through <br />the middle of the park and directing the water down the designed swale. Draintile in the rain garden was <br />also lowered and extended to provide better subgrade drainage. This work was supported and approved by <br />the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br />By the end of the growing season, many of the plants in the Rain Garden appeared to be dead. Bonestroo <br />and Veit acknowledged their responsibility to replace these plants. With the permission of the City Council, <br />we delayed their replacement until this spring to provide an opportunity for some plants which may have <br />simply gone dormant to regrow and to make sure we did not have another group of dead plant in the <br />spring, necessitating a second mobilization and replacement effort. Additionally, waiting until spring would <br />clarify the warranty period. <br /> <br />As soon as weather permits, the dead plants will be replaced and the warranty period will begin. <br /> <br />St. Paul <br />5t.
