The improvements include the installation of a wet <br />cast retaining wall, spruce tree screening on top of the wall, and landscape shrubs, <br />trees, and flowers along the front of the wall. The entire area will be watered by an <br />irrigation system and banner poles are being reviewed for the median area between the <br />street and sidewalk. The landscape plan has been completed based on the last <br />direction from Council. <br />The Parks Department requested that the irrigation system design be completed by <br />MIDC to be included in the plans. We have contacted MIDC and anticipate the <br />completion of the irrigation system design the week of July 11`h. <br />Summary and Recommendation <br />At this time we are requesting City Council authorization for the advertisement for bids <br />for the above referenced project. It is anticipated that bids would be brought back to the <br />City Council in August for award. If you have any questions regarding this matter please <br />feel free to call. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780 -0450 Fax (763) 780 -0452 <br />Memo .070711 -CC (authorize bids) <br />1 <br />
