We will do our best to justify your expression of confidence in us. This <br />letter, together with our Standard Terms (attached) sets forth the Agreement between the City of <br />Mounds View (City) and Barr Engineering Company regarding the assessment and evaluation of the <br />Silver View Pond stormwater basin. <br />Background <br />The City of Mounds View currently uses Silver View Pond as a stormwater basin to improve surface <br />water quality. However little is known about the current performance of the pond as water quality <br />treatment basin and a flood control measure. Limited monitoring and evaluation work has been <br />performed on the basin to determine: <br />1. How much water quality treatment is currently being provided by the basin? <br />2. If and when is sediment removal needed? <br />3. How sediments removed from the basin are to be handled and disposed of? <br />4. How to prioritize and plan for basin maintenance in the future? <br />5. How the basin should be expected to function (i.e., % removal of solids and nutrients) in the <br />future once maintenance work is completed? <br />6. How much should the City budget for basin management in the future? <br />Scope of Services <br />Barr will assess Silver View Pond, one of the City’s stormwater basins, to determine its functionality <br />and level of maintenance needed if any. <br />The scope of professional consulting services we will provide for your project includes:
