MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development <br />DATE: OCtOtar 2?, 1986 <br />SUBJECT: 1986 SANITARY SEWER MAIN-ENANCE <br />On September 22, 1986, the Mounds View City Council awarded the <br />subject project to Solidification, Inc. for a not to exceed price <br />of $15,422.00. Part of this project involves spraying roots in <br />the sanitary sewer with chemicals so that the roots will shrivel <br />and die up to 5 or 6 feet away from the pipe. The chemicals are <br />most effective when the roots are drawing in nutrients which <br />occur when leaves are on the trees. The unseasonably cold <br />weather we have received have caused the leaves to fall off of <br />the trees earlier than normal. <br />I recommend that the City postpone the root treatment portion of <br />the project until 1987. Attached please find a letter from <br />Solidification, Inc. indicating that they will conduct the root <br />treatment program in the Spring of 1987 at the same prices. <br />RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of this item so that the <br />auditor ntinue to be satisfied. <br />SWT/bac <br />
