Memo <br />~L~E-RIN6 ~ ~SSO(I~AT~S <br />Taut hoaTu <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: May 26, 2009 <br />RE: County Road 62 Plantings <br />As you are aware, a development agreement was executed between the City and St. <br />Jude Medical at the time of their new facility approvals. This agreement included <br />provisions that required the City to complete boulevard plantings along County Road B2 <br />from Rice Street through the new St. Jude property. We have worked with St. Jude on <br />an acceptable plan that includes two phases. The first phase will include the addition of <br />Maple trees along the south boulevard of B2 from Rice Street through St. Jude's new <br />property, Crabapple trees between the curb and sidewalk on the north side of County <br />Road 82 from Park Street through the Roseville School entrances, and a shredded <br />wood mulch bed with evergreen shrubs along the new property fence between the truck <br />entrance and the main entrance of the new St. Jude property. <br />The second phase of the landscape plan will address the area between Rice Street and <br />Park Street on the north side of County Road 62. This area was included as a second <br />phase because the City is currently working with the Bread store at the corner and the <br />Mobile Home Park to provide for additional street right-of-way for a turn lane and <br />boulevard area along this section. Upon conclusion of those efforts the second phase of <br />the landscape plan will be developed and completed. <br />Quotes have been solicited for the first phase of the landscaping plan from Willow River <br />Tree Farms, a landscape contractor that completed plantings for the City last year, and <br />Lan-De-Con, the landscape contractor that completed the St. Jude site landscaping. <br />The following is a listing of the quotes received. <br />Corporation Total Bid <br />Willow River Tree Farms $20,675.89 <br />Lan-De-Con Inc. $28,430.60 <br />Based on the quotes received we would recommend that the City authorize Willow River <br />Tree Farms to complete the work.
