BALDUR PARK ENGINEERING SERVICES <br /> Edwards stated the proposal before the Council tonight is for engineering services.

Edwards stated he would request the Council authorize Bolton&Menk to perform <br /> that work. Edwards stated once that preliminary work is completed of the conditions on the site,he <br /> would bring it back to the City Council before the final design work is started. <br /> McMillan asked how many soil borings are anticipated on Baldur Park Road. <br /> Martini stated four soil borings should be adequate and that they are attempting to determine how much <br /> asphalt is there as well as the base. Martini stated one of the questions they are addressing is whether <br /> they will need to start from the sub-base as well as how much pavement and aggregate exist on the <br /> roadway. <br /> McMillan asked if they are talking about starting from North Shore and reconstructing the entire road. <br /> Martini indicated they are. <br /> McMillan noted the manhole on the far north of the road has experienced quite a bit of heaving and asked <br /> what that is related to. <br /> Martini indicated that is likely due to the subgrade holding water. Martini stated they will need to look at <br /> ways to shed the water but that it will be challenging due to the elevation of the road and the high water <br /> table. <br /> Page 35 of 43 <br />
