Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />Date: August 26, 2008 <br />Item Description: County Road C Streetscape Project Review <br />Item No: 9 <br />The County Road C Streetscape project is substantially complete. There are a few items left for <br />the contractor to complete: <br />City Hall sign/ planting area: The contractor is waiting for the City Hall sign to be <br />fabricated. Once it is installed, they will finish planting the landscaped bed at the corner of <br />Lexington and County Road C. <br />Native seeding: the slope along City Hall and along Howard Johnson Park is slated to have <br />native seeding installed. The Contractor was unable to get these areas prepped prior to the <br />spring seeding date, June 20. For erosion control reasons, these slopes were seeded with an <br />annual grass. The Contractor will be seeding these areas during the fall planting window. <br />City Staff continues to get questions regarding maintenance and watering of the landscaping <br />installed as a part of this project. Here are some details regarding the specifications for th.e <br />landscaping on this project: <br />Warranty: All of the trees, perennials, and shrubs that were installed are covered by a 2-year <br />warranty. For the next two years, it is the contractor's responsibility to weed, trim, and <br />water all of the plants on the project to ensure that it is successful. We have requested that <br />the contractor provide for us a maintenance schedule so we can agree on their scope of work <br />for these next two growing seasons. <br />Watering. The contractor has a moisture sensor and has been measuring around the newly <br />planted trees, shrubs and perennials to ensure he does not under water or over water them. <br />To date they have been using a water truck to deliver water. The Contractor is aware of the <br />trees that are showing stress and understands that they will be required to replace trees, <br />shrubs and plants that do not succeed, or they will not be paid for them. <br />The sod that was installed has a 30-day warranty, if at the end of 30 days, the sad is not <br />vigorously growing, the contractor will be required to replace it. The 30 days is up at the <br />end of August. <br />Recommended Action: <br />Discussion of project <br />
