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