SAFEngineering Site and Athletic Facility Engineering, PLLC 4521 Bridge Court Shoreview, MN 55126 September 12, 2013 Mr. Nick Debar, P.E. Director of Public Works City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 RE: CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW TENNIS AND BASKETBALL COURTS Dear Nick: In accordance with our recent meeting, I am pleased to submit the following report for the above referenced project. GENERAL SAFEngineering is a full service design and construction management firm. My personal experience encompasses over 23 years of providing engineering services. I have been personally involved in the design and construction of site/civil projects including tennis courts, athletic tracks, ball fields, roads, parking lots and storm water management projects for school districts, municipalities, commercial and private clients. The services available are conceptual plans, cost estimates, the design and preparation of plans and specifications, bidding services and construction management. I have overseen the construction of many unique projects and I understand the parameters required to build a quality project that meets the needs and expectations of the owners as well as the community. The information included in this report is derived from my experience with previous projects I have designed and managed. The recommendations and cost estimates are prepared for budgetary purposes only and are based on standard engineering practices and methodologies and from my experience in the industry. A more comprehensive site evaluation will be required once the project has been identified to undergo rehabilitation. Other than this, no warranty is implied or intended. EXISTING CONDITIONS GROVELAND PARK: There are two tennis courts and a partial basketball court at this location. The tennis courts and basketball court have not been maintained within the past 15 years. The fence system is in fair condition and the area has a lighting system. There are numerous structural cracks, approximately 3,000 lineal feet, in the pavement surface. These are the type of cracks that will allow water into the subgrade and cause continued growth and expansion. There are also numerous fissure cracks. These are the type of cracks that are only within the color coat system and upper 1/8” to 1/4” of the bituminous surface. The color coat surface is in fair to poor condition with a very faded surface. There are indications of water ponding on the surface.
