RE:
1998 CHANHASSEN TRAIL PROJECT
!TEMS REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
Dear Mr. Timmers:
We wodld like to take this opportunity to call your attention to some issues that require
your immediate attention on the above referenced project. It is in your best interest to
respor'd to these issues as soon as possible as you will most likely prevent additional
erosion and deterioration that would only create more work for you and your work crews
later in the year,
LAKE R~LEY TRAIL
Erosioc is occurring in the ditch and down the inslope embankment near the corner of
Pioneer Trail and Foxford Road. This erosion could plug the new drain tile system that
has been installed.
GALPIN BOULEVARD TRAIL
A washout is again occurring at the retaining wall near station 2+50. We will be
addressing this problem by directing you to pave the final lift of asphalt on the trail to
move the Iow point at this location to the north and thereby avoid the condition of ponded
water and washout behind the wall. A swale will be graded and sodded near this
location- to direct stormwater runoff from the new tow point around the north end of the
wall. Until this work is done, however, it is your responsibility to insure that the integrity
of the retaining wall is not jeopardized by erosion that is occurring at this location and
that the work site is safe for pedestrians to use the trail system.
Another location of settlement and erosion has also occurred near the intersection of
Lake Lt~cy Road and Galpin Boulevard, at the northwest quadrant of this intersection.
Erosion and settlement of the pavement is likely to increase in this area during spring
storms Jntil a more permanent repair is made. Please take appropriate action here to fix
this prob!em and reduce this area as a potential hazard to pedestrians.

BORROW SITE - 78TM AND POWERS BOULEVARD
Midwest Asphalt Corporation used this site for borrow material during construction of the
1998 Chanhassen Trail project. The erosion control on this site is now lacking and
needs to be addressed. Perimeter silt fence must be installed immediately to prevent
further erosion off of the site.
Please tot us know as soon as you have read this correspondence what your schedule is
to take action on these areas requiring your immediate attention.
Sincerely,

LAKE RILEY - LIGHT RAIL TRAIL CORRIDOR CONNECTION
As yc.u may be aware, a connection as originally proposed on the Lake Riley trail
segment as part of the 1998 trail improvements was not possible because of work that
was in process within the City of Eden Prairie, We have coordinated our efforts with the
City o= Eden Prairie and have received approval from Mr. Jim Richardson to commence
this trail connection work during the summer of 1999.
Attachments for this work included a revised plan sheet, a revised specification specific
to this segment of work, and a new bid schedule for you to complete.
POWERS BOULEVARD RETAINING WALL AND DRAIN TILE
During a watermain repair over the winter months, a section of the retaining wall along
Powers Boulevard failed and will need to be repaired. We have previously received a
propo,'-:ed quote for this work and understand that Mr. Todd Hoffman, City of
Chanhassen, has renegotiated some of the details of this quote. Please revised the
attached work quote to reflect these changes so that we may process this item with a
change order including other items addressed in this letter.
Please note that this retaining wall repair must be competed before grading and paving
work ¢~n commence along Powers Boulevard in the vicinity of the walt failure,
Last fall at our request we received from you a quote for drain tile work along Powers
Boule~;ard. This work remains to be completed and therefore we would appreciate a
new q;ote for the work to be completed this summer. We trust that you will review your
costs and quote and provide us with a fair and reasonable quote for completing this
work. We have discussed this work with other contractors and have a good
unders:anding of what this work should cost. We have attached your quote from last
