MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 12, 1993 reported that it was his understanding that the work was guaranteed for one year, and asked for an extension to that guarantee. The City Engineer reported that he would address this with the project superintendent, and would have him stop by and address the matter with Mr. Peyer. The Engineer also thought that the guarantee was for two years. Peyer also expressed concern that when the sod was installed, it was placed over a very thin layer of black dirt placed on clay materials. Peyer also reported that Kirby of Frattalone had indicated that the berms would be cut down and the yards sloped to the curbing. This was not done. The Engineer reported that a minimum of 3 inches of black dirt should have been put down, and that this material would have been available on site for the most part. Peyer reported that the property owners had 4 to 6 inches of black dirt under their sod, but during the course of the problem the clay was turned over and the black dirt buried. Peyer was concerned about the establishment of the sod on the clay material. Morelan asked about a guarantee on the landscaping. The City Engineer reported that there is a guarantee through next year, so if the sod dies, it will have to be redone. Peyer was especially concerned that the slopes were not cut down indicating that there was an 18 to 20 inch pitch to the street. The Engineer reported that he would have the project superintendent address this issue with Peyer. Peyer reported that there is some settling in the street at each point where the water service was installed. The City Engineer pointed out that the final wear course would be put on the street next year. Over the winter it is hoped that the street will settle, and it will be leveled out and overlaid next year. Peyer reported that he has asked the Public Works Department to ensure that the contractors keep the street clean, and felt this should be addressed again. Page 10
