Page 2 of3 4. There needs to be additional planti.ngs in the rain garden to replace the failed ones. About 2 weeks ago or so, our landscape architects met with the contractor to review the plantings and other issues with the rain garden. Yesterdqy, we submitted a revised planting plan to Gregg Thompson for his review. Once we get comments back from Gregg, we will let you gtgs take a look and then we'll get the replacements done. 5. The center post on the western-most bench, near the checker board, is too high making the bench appear bowed. I'll look at this again. I know thry jixed a few of these benches with the same problem. Perhaps thry missed this one. 6. The sliding bench on the north needs the slats replaced to match the recycled material of the rest of the benches. Several months ago, I sent a jinal email to the supplier of the slats giving them the go-ahead to order the reryded slats. Earlier this Jveek, I sent another email and lift a voice mail asking where our order was. I have not yet heard back. I will follow up on this. 7. The replacement planti.ngs on the beach (not the shoreline restoration part) are not in. W7hen the plantings were reviewed in the rain garden, the rest of the plantings in the park were also reviewed. We have documented those which need replacement. All replacements (rain garden and others) will be done at the same time. 8. The drinking fountain is not level. I've asked our inspector to look at this. It was level earlier this spting when I was at the park. I wzJl get back to you when Jve jigtlre out what happened here. 9. The drinking fountain does not have the lower "dog bowl" spout. I think we opted NOT to have the dog bowl feature. Perhaps you are rifening to the hose connection at the bottom. I was under the understanding that we had installed the proper connection and that it was acceptable to the public works department. I Jvill speak with Paul to make sure what we have is at:eeptable. 10. The sub-contracted shoreline restoration has not begun. It's my understanding that Gregg has been in touch with the contractor and that supplies have been ordered Thry are also working through the process to get access from the St. Paul Water Utility site to minimize damage to the park from constmetion. I believe constmction will begin within a week or two, once supplies have eome in. You could contact Greggfor more information on the schedule. All of these items were on our previous list of items that needed to be fInished. With the exception of the shoreline restoration, I expected these items to be completed earlier this spnng. 7/31/2008
