Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization SEH Quarterly Consultant Report Apri127,1995 Page 2 preliminary permit notice prior to the October meeting. In the October 27,1994 Consultant Report, we noted that required. mitigation was still unclear. As we got closer to the February 20 bid date, it became apparent that the DNR could not issue a permit for the project without first requiring an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). Following opening of bids on February 20, we were verbally authorized to prepare the EAW to satisfy DNR requirements The EAW was submitted on March 13,1995 and published for review in the March 27,1995 EQB Monitor. It has received generally favorable comments. A copy of the comments received is enclosed for your review. On Apri115, the Roseville City Council awarded the contract to Arnt Construction, who had agreed to hold over their bid to the 1995-1996 construction season. In executing the contract with Arnt Construction, the start date for the project will coincide with cold weather conditions which will permit access with construction traffic and a completion date to avoid the spring thaw. The project should be ready for the spring 1996 runoff. 3. Professional Services As discussed at .the January Board Meeting, we have begun transitioning the professional services responsibilities to Marty Rye from our staff who will take over the Grass Lake WMO consulting duties following this meeting. Because of my history with Roseville, Shoreview and GLWMO, I would continue to serve in an overview role, without having specific day to day responsibilities. In addition, I will follow current projects through to completion. I would like to thank the Board for the opportunity to have provided a variety of professional services since 1989. I am looking forward to the opportunity for SEH to continue this relationship through Marty Rye in the future. Lastly, as discussed at the last meeting, we are hopeful that you will provide us with a constructive critique of our services through the survey forms provided at the January meeting. It is through your input that we can best improve our services to meet and exceed your expectations..
