Member DeBenedet requested to have the numbered list of conditions for <br />Bituminous Roadways from the City Council meeting be added to the May 26, <br />2009 meeting minutes at the top of page six. <br />Member Vanderwall moved to approve the May 26, 2009 meeting minutes at the <br />next meeting after these changes have been made. <br />4. Communication Items <br />Construction Update <br />Duane Schwartz mentioned the construction updates that were given to the <br />commission members. One project is the Roselawn project which is continuing <br />with utility work and curb and gutter work. <br />Duane Schwartz announced the City Council awarded the bid for the Twin Lakes <br />project to Eureka Construction in Lakeville. The contractor has started with tree <br />removal just south of County Road C2. <br />Duane Schwartz mentioned the Snelling Avenue MnDOT project is underway <br />with some delays. There will be some additional road closures. <br />Duane Schwartz mentioned that Ramsey County has completed the mill and <br />overlay on County Road B west of Snelling. Rice Street has also been milled and <br />will be paved later in the week. <br />Member Stenlund mentioned the contractor for the Roselawn project has not been <br />protecting inlets properly and have made it very difficult for the public to get <br />through. He suggested the commission take a field trip out to the site to see first <br />hand what is happening to the road. <br />Member Vanderwall asked Duane Schwartz how the Twin Lakes bid outcome <br />was compared to what he was expecting. Duane Schwartz responded it was 16% <br />under the engineer's estimate. The City Council did award two of the alternates. <br />One was the building demolition and the other was to have the storm water reuse <br />facility connected to Roseville's SCADA to be monitored remotely. Duane <br />Schwartz mentioned the Public Works staff decided to stay with the LED lighting <br />for the project. The staff also chose to not accept the alternate raingarden <br />landscaping proposed for the project due to the uncertainty of where driveways <br />would go. <br />Member Stenlund asked if it would be possible for the commission to go hear <br />someone talk about or for someone to come and talk to them about porous <br />concrete that Shoreview is using. Member Stenlund stated he is interested in the <br />process of how this is used and feel this could possibly have future applications in <br />the City of Roseville. <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
