Report for 10/31/2005 11/4/2005 LCCC Albany County Campus Prepared by Seth A. Carson Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Good Morning Everyone, Please find attached a summary of the Taylor Kohrs lien waivers. This spreadsheet is based upon Taylor Kohrs sub-contractor list of 9/15/05, and included all the lien waivers we have received to date. I will update this spreadsheet as I receive waivers. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Bob Cox and Jerry Harris Jerry and Bob, I forgot to tell you that Jerry Hankin from the city stated that we will need a foundation permit. No big issue except that it will be around another thousand bucks. Anyways, I can pull the permit in the name of Jack Dressel and plug this into his fees. I could pull the permit with my business too if you will reimburse me later. Let me know today. But before I we can get the permit, I need to have the stamped foundation plan in hand from Allan Henderson. I reviewed the insurance from Patrick and Henderson for the PE Stamped foundation design and everything looks ok to get a PO. Jerry, could you crank one out today for the foundation PE if you dont already have it ready. That would be great. The contact info is: Allan Henderson Patrick & Henderson Inc. 1965 Airport Dr., Bakersfield, CA 93308 (661) 391-9854 I am going to email a request later today to get the plans so they they can get to the city ASAP. Also, I am faxing Jack Dressel the information we discussed on Friday about the turnkey foundation with bonding. I will have him fax you the price quote back and away we go. The fax is attached to this email. Thats all for now, Seth Carson Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Seth, I am OK with your approach, but before I can write a purchase order, I need a formal quote from this firm, with specific language of what they will do for us. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Attached is the bike rack Taylor Kohrs proposes to install. We would be installing one (1) model #BR-5 with a galvanized finish. Please respond by the end of this week if this is not acceptable. Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 10/31/2005 Fax to Jack Dressel from Seth Carson Jack, LCCC is ready to move forward with you on our turbine foundation. First, LCCC will require your work to be bonded. We realize that this may add to the price you quoted me at $31,726 but LCCC is willing to pay for the increased insurance. Second, Martin Excavation (Tom Martin 307-745-4661) is willing to dig the hole the week of the 14th of November. He will also be helping our electrician with the ground trenches and conduit runs. Please call him between 7:30 and 8:00 mountain time. This is the only time you can get a hold of him to get a price from him. I will be meeting with Tom tomorrow and we will be visiting the site. If you need me to ask him anything then, let me know today. Third, Fremont Electric (307-721-4176) will be providing the conduit sweeps into the base. The will also be present for hookup and grounding installation. Forth, Osborne Concrete (307-742-0533) or Lafarge (307-745-4833) are available to provide the slurry and mud. Osborne quoted me $81 dollars per yard for the mud. Lafarge prices are $88 per yard for the mud and $76.75 for the slurry. Lafarge usually has better quality control on their product but Osborne is good too. Lastly, our turbine is set to be delivered the 5th of December by EMS. It would great to have your done by the 20th of November. Please fax your bonding and insurance information and to Jerry Harris at (307-778-4300) ASAP. Call him at (307-778-1280) if you have contractual questions, etc. If you need some local tech. support, call me (Seth 307-760-5998). EMS also stated you can call them if you need to compare and check your template, etc. at (605-272-5398). Look forward to working with you soon, Seth Carson Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Bob Cox to Nicole Buscher Hi Nicole Jerry and I have been discussing the Change Order and have a couple of questions. 1. Did you budget $120,000 for the geotherm wells? Or is the $120,000 calculated another way? 2. The UPS battery backup was a deduct item of $15,000 which I can track in the budget. My concern is that apparently there was an agreement for LCCC to pay for it because of a recent purchase we made over here for a cost of $11,233. The problem is the spec is for a 20kVA UPS we bought a 10kVA unit. I need to have someone get us up to speed on the thinking here. If we are to purchase it, we need to get on it. Otherwise I track the other changes. Thanks Bob Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Seth Carson Seth, I received a fax from Watson Well this morning regarding a $15,226.80 change order, per the following detail: Ψ Monitoring well Prices for materials installed. Estimate per drawing provided by Chris Moody of Wyoming Groundwater = $9,567.50 Ψ Additional materials and labor to move supply wells from original location = $3,753.50 Ψ Five additional 2 waterlines to enter building = $1,905.80 Ψ Change Order grand total = $15,226.80 Quite frankly, I am a little surprised about these figures since I thought Watson Wells bid was complete based upon the revised plan and specifications. LCCC was not aware that Bob Berry was going to modify the design, are there any more surprises like this? If these charges are in fact legitimate, then we will have to alter the grant request by this amount. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Seth Carson Everyone, Regarding Item #2 below If LCCC is going to purchase the UPS, I need specifications ASAP in order to purchase this item. The lead time is at least four (4) weeks as best as I can remember. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Tim Macnamara to Seth Carson Hello- We in Physical Plant have no problem with the bike rack as indicated as long as it is galvanized as stated. Tim Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Michael Walters to Seth Carson Seth, Phil, Eileen and I met to discuss an idea Seth has. He has found a UPS system from Gridpoint that will accept a direct connection from the solar panels. According to Seth, this would eliminate the inverter and other equipment to connect the solar panels. He is working with the company to get costs and Fremont for installation costs. When we met with ISC/Cisco about the phone system, they recommended that we have a 20Kva system. I am double checking with them today as Seth believes this may be too much. Michael Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Bob Cox Bob, 1. The budget for the geotherm wells was $120,000. (Assumed 60 wells @ $2,000/EA) This was the credit provided. 2. Taylor Kohrs had carried a budget of $15,000 for a battery backup. It wasn't until our IT Coordination meeting that LCCC had informed us of the 20 KVA requirement. As Jerry had provided information earlier on a 10 KVA unit costing $11,233, we thought it best to save as much money (taxes, etc.) and have LCCC purchase the UPS directly. Thank you, Nicole Correspondence 10/31/2005 Email from Fremont Electric to Seth Carson HI SETH, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY WAY YOU CAN GET US ANOTHER COPY OF THE SPECS FOR THE UPS SYSTEM, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU BROUGHT US AN EMAIL ONCE BUT I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. LET ME KNOW IF THAT IS POSSIBLE AND HOW LONG YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE YOU TO GET IT. THANKS SO MUCH! MELISSA Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Patrick and Henderson to Jerry Harris Dear Jerry, Attached, please find stamped plans for Laramie County Community College along with stamped calculations. Please issue a purchase order (if necessary) for $2,000 and send check in the amount of $2,000 to: Patrick & Henderson, Inc. Correspondence 11/2/2005 Seth Carson met with Jerry Hankin Seth met with Jerry at the City of Laramie plan review office. He turned in the plans for the turbine foundation permit. Correspondence 11/2/2005 Seth Carson met with Tom Martin from Martin Excavation Seth met with Tom at the site and went through the trenching and the turbine foundation scope of work. Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Tim Macnamara to Marilyn Aiken Marilyn- I honestly dont know if the staff/faculty restrooms have locks on them. Maybe Seth can tell you. We dont have such rest rooms at the Cheyenne campus, all restrooms are open to the public. If they do have locks on them, we can key them any way you want. Key pad locks are expensive and expensive to maintain. We are trying to eliminate them in Cheyenne. Your on-call person should probably have access to a building exterior and a building master while they are on call Tim Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Eileen Ely Eileen, Did you officially obtain the concrete grant? Do you have the money?? Let me know soon. Thanks, Seth Carson Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Nicole Buscher Bob, Jerry, and I have reviewed the PCO #4. At this time, please do NOT proceed with change order. I know you are quite familiar with LCCC budget of $5000K maximum to complete the eagle plinth. Double the price is something we just cant afford. I appreciate you digging the hole and placing the concrete foundation and those prices are fair. At this point we are exploring Eileens concrete grant. I am also exploring getting the mason labor donated and the steel base fabricated at the high school and UW for cost of materials. I am also working on the cap options. The cap will not be one solid piece. Also, I know you have quoted to me that the rest of the stone on the building has been costing LCCC 20 dollars per sqft. The plinth has 80 sqft. This should be around $1600 maximum, the cmu block shouldnt be to much since there is in fact extra block at the site. LCCC would be willing to pay $1600 for mason work as it is consistent with the typical price. Also, it seems to me that the parapet detail might have been made up in the eagle PCO. I would hope this is not the case and would expect that LCCC not be taken advantage of here. We have $5000 maximum. If the PCO price cannot be adjusted and reduced, LCCC will have to get things donated, period. Please respond if there are questions. Thanks, Seth Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Seth, As I'm sure you are aware, the masonry is complete, except for the stone cap which has not been purchased. They set the last few stones this afternoon. I directed Ralph and Ahrenholtz to proceed with this work so that the mixing station could be removed from the site and allow fine grading to begin. The stone cap alone is $1,000. If LCCC would like to go elsewhere for the material and labor, that is fine. As for the remaining masonry costs, 6" block was not a material on this project. (We used 4" and 8" were.) There is actually 168 SF, 84 SF of 6" block and 84 SF of stone. Therefore, the square foot cost is approx. $20/SF. ($4,500 - $1,000 = $3,500. $3,500/168 SF = $20.83/SF) Nevertheless, Ahrenholtz has agreed to reduce their costs by $2,000. Attached is the revised PCO #4 for your use. As for trying to make up for the parapet costs in ASI #3, LCCC will see in our monthly contract and change order update that we're issuing Ahrenholtz a separate change order for $3,200 for that work. Nicole Buscher Taylor Kohrs Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Attached are the City's comments regarding our resubmittal on 9/29. I will be delivering our response to the City tomorrow morning. Jerry, please let me know if you need me to do anything for Item #9. As you have these easement and utility agreements, I'll assume that you will record these with the City. Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/2/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Team Attached is the agenda and meeting minutes for tomorrow's OAC Mtg at 2:00 PM. Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/3/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Nicole Buscher Nicole, I will take care of the easement and utility agreements. If I need anything I will let you know. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/3/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Everyone, Attached is my proposed variance letter which I still need to tweak a little bit. I welcome your comments and suggestions. The intent with this letter is simply to request variance approval for shifting monies from Part A to Part B. I suggest we draft a separate letter when submitting our request for the second grant which can then define specific monies as supported by the spreadsheet. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Phil Neal Phil, Thanks for the response, I will check the Part A to Part B issue with Bob. In the meantime I have tweaked the letter per the following: 1) 1st sentence of paragraph 1, I added a reference to ACC. 2) I added paragraph 3 Thanks Jerry L. Harris Revised Energy Grant Variance Letter Hi Jerry, I think this is great and we should get it submitted asap. There was only one thing I would check. I think (I don't have the spreadsheet with me) that we are requesting to use money from part B to pay for part A. When I read your letter, it sounds like it is the other way around. But then again, I may be wrong since I don't have the spreadsheet in front of me. Thanks for everything. Phil Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Phil, Eileen and Seth, Attached is the revised letter requesting a variance from Tom Fuller at the WBC. Please review and comment before noon today. Our intent is to letterhead this document today for signature by Dr. Bohlen on Monday, November 7th. Seth: I need your revised and final energy grant spreadsheet by noon today also. Regarding the second (supplemental) grant, our intention is to have this grant request completed and ready for submission by the end of next week (Nov 7th). Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/4/2005 Seth Carson met with Phil Neal and Eileen Seth met with Phil and Eileen and went through the Seths versions of the variance letter. Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Tim, Attached is Power's Key Schedule for your use. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Greg Crowser to Jerry Harris and Seth Carson I have received your PC. We still need from you the name of an appropriate person to license this software under. Unless I hear otherwise, we will go with Michael Walters. Also, if you want us to incorporate an LCCC logo into the interface, I will need a jpg image. Thanks, Greg Crowser EMS Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email to Greg Crowser from Jerry Harris Greg, The software should be licensed to LCCC, c/o Michael Walters or Jackie Kisinger. The logo would have to come from Michael, Jackie or our Public Relations department. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Bob Cox and Seth Carson Attached is our October invoice which will go out in today's mail. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Phil Neal to Jerry Harris Hi Jerry, Sorry I did not get to your email before lunch but I was packed with meetings. The variance letter looks great. As far as the supplemental grant, who is working on it? It does not matter to me who completes it but I want to everyone to know who is completing it so nothing gets overlooked. Have a great weekend. Phil Correspondence 11/4/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Fremont Electric Don, here is the grant file. Seth Report for 11/7/2005 11/11/2005 LCCC Albany County Campus Prepared by Seth A. Carson Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Good Morning Everyone, Attached is the variance letter we will be sending to Tom Fuller and the WBC on Dr. Bohlen letterhead. Our intention is to have Dr. Bohlen review and sign this letter, then we will hand carry the letter to the WBC for signature sometime this week. Thanks for all the input in preparing this document. Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Team Hi Team, I approved of the final variance letter. I found out today from my sources at the WBC that there is not much funds left in the Exxon Petroleum Violation account after all. Maybe $100K but not $207k like we need as I have been told. There is are of course other funds (Stripper), etc. that we may get money to finish part B. At this point (speculating!), Tom may not want to approve all of the variance as we will not be able to successfully complete any of Part B. Just a thought. In the contract, it indicates that LCCC will provide and demonstrate renewable energy concepts. Right now there is not enough money to even hook up the turbine. We will not be meeting this requirement if the variance is approved. Anyways, we need to have Tom indicate what he wants our next direction to be, i.e. the new grant may not be a supplemental and may be from a new grant fund all together. The grant format could change, etc. Has anyone contacted Tom??? Before we do, we need to discuss this supplemental grant thing first. Seth Carson Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Phil Neal to Team This letter looks great. Will there be any mention or conversation about the likelihood that there will be $90,000 savings in the cost of part B items? I was just thinking that this might grease the wheels for the variance letter approval. Phil Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Team Phil, At this point the $90,000 savings has not been mentioned. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Seth Carson to Team Chuck, I have not spoken with Tom Fuller in several weeks since he was last in Laramie for the anemometer tower. I never implied this what if at all. As your consultant, I am simply advising you of the current situation with a possible scenario, only that. Hence, my detective work at the WBC and not talking with Tom Fuller. I think EVERYONE is quite aware of the importance of this letter. I am just trying to strategize if this thing fails what we may want to do. We made promises to the WBC that we would provide a showcase of the renewable technologies with our budget and with this grant money. We will not be doing this with the variance half the grant if this thing goes through, Tom may not want this. I do agree the building is TOP priority! It is not LCCCs fault that we were given a bad budget from TK and bad information on prices from Major Geo-Thermal that John, Phil, and I used for the grant spreadsheet. I have faith that this will all work out. The WBC is too committed to our project to leave us out in the rain. Chuck, when are you going to give the letter to Tom? FYI, the final cost on the HVAC Geo system was 25 dollars per SQFT. Cheers, Seth Carson Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Chuck Bohlen to Seth Carson Seth, have you forgotten that the only way we have of plugging the financial hole to complete the building is getting the variance!!!!!! We are deep trouble without the variance. Building completion is more important than the renewable energy demonstration. How many times do I have remind everyone that there are no more funds available for this project. I hope you have not suggested to Mr. Fuller that he should not approve all the variance. If so, you need immediately to correct that perception. Chuck Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Team As discussed in the OAC Mtg, Taylor Kohrs will proceed with the concrete work tomorrow. However, has there been a final decision on the masonry? Is the PCO in total approved or is LCCC going to have another contractor purchase/install the stone cap? Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Bob Cox to Nicole Buscher Seth visited the site and observed good progress on the drywall, painting, ceiling grid, asphalt parking, and site grading. The masonry work was complete. Photos are posted here. Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Bob Cox to Nicole Buscher Hi Nicole I am reviewing the pay ap and find that the application ($484,827.58) does not match the Invoice Breakdown ($538,697.58) which does match your spreadsheet. Please help me out with this. I think the invoice has not been reduced for the 10% retainage. Thanks Bob Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Seth, Can you help me provide the City some additional information on the environmental impact deleting the curb & gutter provides? In particular, I need some additional documentation to show how elimination of the curbs is to enhance the environmental aspect of the project. I'm happy to do my know research, but haven't had much luck on the LEED website. Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/7/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Bob Cox Bob, You are correct. Attached is the revised energy grant spreadsheet. Nicole Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Phil Neal to Team Hi all, First, I have not talked to Tom Fuller since the interview with the news team weeks ago. Second, I recommend that we do not move forward with the foundation of the wind turbine ($50,000), the purchase of the solar array ($50,000) and have EMS hold off on delivering the turbine, until we hear back from Tom Fuller on possible funding. If we have to pay EMS to store the turbine for a few weeks, months, or a year, then we do that. If we have EMS deliver the turbine and sit it on the ground until we can afford to get the foundation completed, then we will have to pay them to come back and erect it at a later date. I told our committee, months ago, that Tom Fuller saw this as a two phase project with the building being completed first, and then the renewable energy components being attached at a later date. But we made a mistake when we agreed to purchase the wind turbine before the building budget was complete. Now, we have to stop the bleeding until more money arrives on the scene. I hate putting any part of the project on the back burner, and I agree with Seth that Tom has told us too many times that the WBC supports this project too much to let it stumble. But money talks and _ _ walks. Those are my suggestions. Phil Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Chuck Bohlen to Team Phil, you are correct on your observations. Bob took the variance request to Tom this morning. Only Bob should have interaction with Tom on this request. Question: when will the request be prepared to solict funds to finish the energy generation portion of the project? Now that the variance is in, I have no problem with submitting the energy generation request. Chuck Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Phil Neal to Seth Carson Seth and I talked the other day about the remaining bids from Fremont electric. Once he receives those (he is pushing Fremont to get them) we should be able to put it together within a few days. Phil Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Bob Cox to Team Good Morning Everyone -- I just returned from my meeting with Tom Fuller. He claims to have the ability to sign the variance, but plans to FAX it to Barb Alderson for feedback. I don't feel there is a problem but prefer to have his OK which I hope to get in the next day or two. I walked through the spreadsheet with him and pointed to the need for additional funds in the energy side of the grant. He was pleased to see the adjustment in the standard costs and noted that the total request to complete the project is similar to the standard cost increase of 25%. I told him that we want to get the request for additional grant funds to him later this week or first thing next week. Again, Phil and Seth, I need your assistance in completing a letter request to request those funds. He told me, that that request will have to jump through all of the hoops the original grant went through meaning all of the folks at the Business Council, Governor, Dept of Energy and I suppose the review in Virginia. With regard to this, we cannot continue to contract any more expenses for Part B side of the grant until we get the grant request to Tom and the funds awarded. Therefore, we need to put the wind turbine on hold until we receive the award. Thanks Bob Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Eileen Ely to Team Good morning Bob, Good job! Thanks for the update. In regard to the supplemental grant, Phil, Seth and I met briefly last week. Currently, we are only missing about 5 or 6 item costs; Seth has been in contact with Don at Fremont Electric about these prices. Knowing the urgency of the additional grant funds, I asked Seth to recontact Don to see if he could push the pricing process along. We also talked briefly about the format of the second grant request. Unless otherwise notified, Phil and Seth will follow the same format as the initial grant. Is this acceptable? Eileen Correspondence 11/8/2005 Email from Bob Cox to Team Eileen -- That approach sounds fine to me. I appreciate all that can be done to finalize the costs with Fremont and any other loose ends. Thanks Bob Correspondence 11/9/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Seth, please copy me on the information you give Jerry Hankin, so that I can include it in the file. Thanks, Nicole Correspondence 11/9/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Tim Laughlin Tim, Dr. Bohlen has reviewed and approved your color selection for the exterior sunshades. Per the sample you gave me, this would be Benjamin Moore Muslin OC-12. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/9/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Team Can we proceed with ordering the materials for the changes in the Mechanical Room? As discussed with Seth last week, we've released the heat exchanger. However, is the balance of the change acceptable? Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/9/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Seth, The vendors that Jerry had provided are: A. Mountain TechniPower, Westminster, CO, Ph 303-460-7460 B. Bentley One, Englewood, CO, Ph 303-792-2182 Michael Walters also recommended Information Systems Consulting out of Casper. Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/9/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Team Attached are meeting minutes from last week for your use and file. Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/10/2005 Email from Michael Walters to Seth Carson Hi Seth -- Several items. 1. Where are you with the Solar Powered UPS system you were looking into? Do you have the quote yet and will it be funded under the grant per your thoughts at our last meeting? 2. We just found out that the new phone system will need 208V power in the wiring closet in the server room. How do we go about getting that accomplished? 3. The web camera that you are working with Jason on, is still not FTPing pictures to the server. It is also pointing at the Farm Bureau. It has not been working since September. Could Jason fix it this week? Hope your week is going well. Michael Correspondence 11/10/2005 Email from Jerry Harris to Nicole Buscher Nicole, Yes, you may proceed with the ordering the balance of materials for the mechanical room per Air Comfort proposal dated October 25, 2005 and Taylor Kohrs Change Order No Two dated October 29, 2005. Thanks Jerry L. Harris Correspondence 11/10/2005 Email from Eileen Ely to Seth Carson Good afternoon Seth, Since our meeting about the grant last week, have you been in contact with Don from Fremont Electric about the missing 5 or 6 price quotes needed for Phase 2 of the energy grant request? I realize that Don is extremely busy, but does Don know the urgency of our request for information? Even though the availability of Exxon funds is in question, we would like to finalize and submit this grant request as soon as possible. Would you please contact Phil with this missing information as soon as possible. Eileen Eileen E. Ely, Dean Correspondence 11/11/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Team Attached are jobsite photos for the month of October. I had forgotten to attach them as part of the meeting minutes. Thank you, Nicole Buscher Correspondence 11/11/2005 Email from Chuck Bohlen to Nicole Buscher Nicole, thanks for sharing. The building is coming along very nicely. Have a nice weekend. Chuck Correspondence 11/11/2005 Email from Eileen Ely to Team Hi Jerry, At a meeting yesterday, City Manager Mark Collins approached me about the issue of curbing around the landscaped areas in our sloped parking lot, especially regarding soil and bark erosion. While he and Jerry Hankin are aware that we eliminated a majority of our curbing due to budget constraints, they are worried that it may cost us more money in the long runto include bark and soil replacement costs. While we have the retention pond, the issue was also mentioned about the possibility of bark and soil erosion into the surrounding storm sewer system and then into Spring Creek. Again, installing or not stalling retaining curb is up to us, but Mark and Jerry wanted to give us something to think about. Also, Mark mentioned that if there were any problems with timely occupancy permitting to give him a call. I really enjoy working with him what an improvement over past city managers! Have a nice weekend. Eileen Correspondence 11/11/2005 Email from Nicole Buscher to Seth Carson Seth, I received the attached pricing for the bench and trash receptacle LCCC provided at last week's meeting. Our budget included $2,516 for benches and $800 for trash receptacle. Please review and advise as to how the college would like to proceed. *Note: Prices, listed below do not include tax or installation. Thank you, Nicole
