Hanson Design Development work is proceeding for the new building. ht the meantime, two items need attention: First, our Construction Manager, James Steele Construction, feels we can save some money by demolishing the buildings on the property at this time versus combining demolition with other site work. Therefore, they are obtaining quotes for this work that are due in at 4:00 next Tuesday. We will review the pricing with them Wednesday morning and have a recommendation available for Wednesday night's meeting. The second item relates to the ground contamination on the site discovered during our soil borings. We have been following the steps for handling this material properly including the preparation of a Development Response Action Plan that was filed with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. PCA called this week and is concerned about possible ground water contamination that they Peel needs to be monitored. They are asking if we want to participate in the Voluntary Pollution Control & Investigation program (VPIC). Doing so entitles us to receive 90% state funding for any work required. At this point in time, they would like to have monitoring wells installed on the property. They have informed me this will not inhibit the construction of the new building. The Council needs to approve our participation in this program. cc: Oertel Architects James Steele Construction, Inc. Elfering & Associates
