Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes April 21 2014 Page 2 of 5 6 Staff Update a) There has been no update to Landscape Unlimited’s original Microsoft Project document created on Jan 28. The board does not have an electronic copy of the schedule but a quick visual scan shows that most tasks that should be under way or be completed are significantly behind schedule. Joe Stevens stated that, while there were issues, he expected that these could be recovered and the critical date of July to have the irrigation system replaced and functional should still be possible. LU started construction work on April 1. The Board accepted Staff’s comment that the work with FEMA has been much more complex than expected and contractual issues had to be worked at the expense of physical progress. Staff also stated that while FEMA approval is still pending, there were no FEMA issues that prevented work from starting. Staff committed to providing the Board with an updated schedule from LU. Chris Bradford reported that the following work had been completed: thththth the 14, 15, 16 and 17 greens have been stripped of sod and work th has started on the 18 1/3 of the irrigation heads on the last 5 holes have been lifted and placed in storage ready for reinstallation Due diligence on the irrigation system is under way in order to make a complete request to FEMA for damage compensation. Trenching for the irrigation system should start on May 15 Project Worksheets are still under preparation. Replacement of the irrigation system will be covered by a separate worksheet with a view to maximizing the eligibility for reimbursement. The Board expressed concern over the schedule and expects that much progress will be seen by the next meeting. b) Tree work: it is expected that tree removal, pruning and root pruning will be completed in May. This is outside the LU contract and, lacking formal quotes, is expected to cost $15K.Per Chris Bradford , trees have been marked as follows: Pink – dangerous trees marked for removal by Chris Lichty, Red – trees marked for removal by Norby for playability, Green – root pruning needed. Trees behind hole #3 green are being removed, a dangerous tree will be removed behind green #5, trees are being removed to improve sunlight on green #6 and root pruning will be done on trees bordering green #5. Replacement trees will be planted in Fall of 2014/ Spring 2015 The tree plan will be updated by May 5, Norby and Chris Lichty are working on planning and phasing.
