Since I received this email, I have contacted True Ride for additional infonnation on equipment cost for a tier 1 skate park. Decisions: . Do we proceed with conducting a neighborhood meeting for the area surrounding Pioneer Park? If not, other alternative locations for future location of a skate prl. ~ . What direction would the NRRC like staff to investigate? Tier 1 or move existing park? · Does the NRRC wish to invest in this project? How much? NRRC ACTION A. Proceed with discussions B. Not to proceed with this project C. Discuss alternatives to this proposal REF: NRRC/memo FeblUary 05 agenda item 8 Page 1 of 1 Barry Bernstein From: Kelly Bartz [kelly@trueride.com] Sent: Monday, January :31, 2005 10:23 AM To: Barry Bernstein Subject: Options for skate park Hello Barry- I've been looking into options for your tier /I skate park. Like we talked about last week you wanted be to get some estimated prices back to you for: 1. Moving your tier II park to an alternate location 2. Use some equipment and add new for a tier I park, possibly selling left over tier /I equipment 3. Cut down tier /I equipment into tier I equipment. Here is a break down for your options: 1. Moving your equipment to a more public area to reduce vandalism is probably the most cost effective option for your park. An estimate for this is broken down into these general costs: 1. LABOR 3 DAYS 4 CREW $4,200 2. FORKLIFT 2 DAYS $600 3. LODGING 3DAYS 4 CREW $600 4. FLATBED TRUCK ~ DAY $425 5. EXCESS MATERIALS $910 ESTIMATED TOTAL $6,735 2. The option of adding to the existing park some tier I pieces can be explored but it raise several questions. Which tier /I pieces would be removed if any to allow for more room? What pieces qualify for a tier /I are pieces A, B, 0, E. Technically piece C is not a Tire /I but it cannot be used effectively in a tier I park. Do you want to still move your park if it is a tier I? Is it an option to have 2 parks? We can look into some design options for any of these choices 3. Finally, there is cutting down the tier /I park to a tier L This option would be extremely time consuming and expensive. Unfortunately it is more complicated than simply cutting the top of the ramp off to reduce its E;ize. The entire -transition must be changed in order for the ramp to continue to be rideable. This would require the complete disassembly of all the ramps and to recut the templates (what makes up the transition, they are every six feet Ulider the ramps). It is difficult to determine the cost of materials for a project like this. There are inevitably going to be some materials destroyed in the complete disassembly process. Also, the disassembly to move the ramps is not as extensive as the process of cutting down the ramps. Most of our ramps are built in a controlled environment in our factory. To reconfigure on site would take much longer and may not have ability to be as accurate as what we normally demand for our construction. I hope I have addressed you questions fully please call me to go more in depth with anyone of these options. will be in the office most of the week and am always accessible via email.

Canoe Landing I have attended two meeting with people who are interested in pursuing a canoe and kayak landing on the Vennillion River. Interested parities include people from the DNR, Rapids Riders and MN Canoe Association. I recently conducted. a meeting with Steve Kline - BARR Engineering, Nick Egger, City Engineer and Tom Montgomery, Public Works Director to discuss this project. It is felt that if we could vacate the dangerous road crossing from CP Adams Park across 10th St., this project may be worth while. I have asked Steve Kline to give us cost estimates on this project. I hope to have additional updates for you next month. Encompass Report If you recall, I commissioned Encompass Engineering Consultants to dissect issues relating to the aquatic center. Their results are enclosed. I have forwarded this infonnation to the City Administrator, City Council as well as the City Attorney for reVIew. Party Wagon The Lions Club is very interested in donating to the City of Hastings money to purchase and supply a party wagon. I am researching equipment, trailer and decal costs. The Lions Club wishes the total cost of approximately $10,000 to be played over two years.

The.investigation consisted of a site inspection at the Aquatic Center, a review of photographs taken of failed coping stones, and a review ofrelevant constmction documents, including the project design drawings, dated April 2, 1998, and project specification:;, produced by Grem.mer & Associates Engineers.. I, BACKGROUND ~-- ) L 1. The liastings Family Aquatic Center was constructed in 1999. Gremmer & Associates was the project engineer and aquatic designer, Glohal Specialty Contractors installed the coping stones, and Aquatic Design, Inc manufactured the coping stones. . 1.2. Numerous coping stones have recently undergone sudden and catastrophic failure: the coping stones have fractured and fallen into the gutter Qver which they span. During the past several years, a total of seven coping stones have failed; six of these failed in the spring of 2004. 1.3, Replacement coping stones have bcen procured and installed ill their place. These stones are of a similar shape and style, but vary dimensionally at critical locations and differ in COIOL 2. OUSERV ATIONS 2.,1.. The site inspection~ which was perfonned by Kent Jones on October 26,2004, revealed the following: 2..1. 1. All ofthe failed stone locations are at the east end of the pool; five of the locations are at the c(;mers.. A portion of one ofthe failed stones remained on sire and was taken by Encompass for further evaluation. o 2..1..2.. Visual examination of the relnaining coping stones identified two additional stones containing significant cracks (see attached photographs). The cracked stoiles are located in the zero-depth arca ofthc pooL Both stones are cracked 14850 Martin Drive . Eden Prairie. Minnesota 55344 Voice (852) 854-4511 . Fax (S52) 854-3126 Jan.28. 2005 iO:50AM Encompass Inc No.5975 P.3 Mr. Barry Bernstein January 28, 2004 Page 2 near their support points: one at the pool-side support, and one at ~he concrete slab-side support" 2: 1.3. At the time of the inspection, almost all water had been removed from the pool. The majority of the sealant at submerged locations and at the perimeter of the coping stones was completely deteriorated. 2..2" Inspection of the photographs taken of the failed coping stones shm.vs .the failure plane, of a comer stone to be adjacent to the stone's support on thc concrete slab side of the gutter (see the attached photograph of stone nos. 4 and 5). The failure planes of the other stones could not be determined from the photographs. 3. ANALYSTS 3.1.. COJ'lNO STONES 3.L1. Secti~n 13162 of'the project specifications contains the fCillowing requirements for the manufacture of the coping stones: A1ininwm oIl-day compressive strength 0.f9,300 p.~ifor large diameter cylindef~ andjle:xural strength exceeding 2,200 psi.. All copings.: rei1-~(orced with 5/8" fiberglass rear. 3.L2:There arc no known coping stone components that are specifically or generically referred to as "fiberglass rear"; however fiberglass rebar is an acknowledged reinforcement type. One that would be well suited for use in a caustic environment such as chlorinated water. It is obvious that the word "rear" is a typographical error, and was intended to be "rebar". 3.1.3. Material testing was performed on asample of coping stone taken from a failed stone. The testing resulted in a compressive strength, flexural strength, arid water absorption rate that mqct the requirements of the project specification. However, no reinforcement of any type was observed within the failed section of stone. Additionally, none of the failed stones shown in the photographs exhibit any reinforcement 3J.4. The incorporation offihergJass reinforcement inio the coping stones would create a stone with significantly greater strength than an un-reinforced stonc. 32. SEALANT 32.1. Section 13155 of the proj ect specifications contains the following requirements for 0 the installation of swimming pool sealant: Jan,28, 2005 iO:50AM Encompass Inc No,5975 p, 4 Mr. Barry Bernstein Janumy 28, 2004 Page 3 For use in swimming pool tank, pool deck, filter tank, surge tank and underwate;-locatiol1s. One of the following products.: Sikaflex 221, Vulkem No, 116. 3.2.2. The specified sealant are polyurethane sealant. A portion of the original sealant from a submerged expansion joint was removed from the pool and analyzed in an FTIRspectrometer by Legend Technical Services Inc. me analysis confinns the existing sealant is a polyurethane See attached analysis report 3.23. The usc of a polyurethane sealant in areas of continued contact with cbJonnated watcrresults in premature detcrioration.ofthe !\ealant. Sika does not recommend installing Sikaflex 221 in this type of enviromnent. Vulkem endorses their 116 product for this application; however, painting the sealant surface is required. No paint was observed on any of the sealant 3,2.4.1n addition, the extensive am.oimt of sealant adhesion failuresohserved indicates that improper surface preparation contributed to the premature sealant deterioration.. 4. CONCLUSIONS 4,1. Thc lack of 5/8" fiberglass reinforcement within the coping stones was the likely ~ause of all coping stones failures.. 4.2 Based on the increasing nUmber of failures, it is likely that additional Uil-reinforeed coping stones will fail 4.3. A combination ofimproi1er surface preParation and the use of a polyurethane sealant at locations in contact with chlorinated water resulted in the observed sealant deterioration" 5. RECOMME-NDATIONS 5.1, At a ll~jnimum, the two cracked stones and allun-reinforeed stones should be identified and replaced with reinforced coping stones. S"l.l.Non.-destruetive examination ofthe coping stones can be accomplished via x-ray or ultrasound technology. All remaining coping stones would need to be examined, and all stones without reinforcement sboul<i be removed and replaced. o - 5.,1..2. Two local testing companies that perfom1 this type of non-destructive testing are Braun Intertec and American Engineering and Testing, The cost associated with examining aU stones would likely not exceed $8,000. 52.As an alternative, aU original coping stones could be replaced with reinforced coping stones Based on our findings, this solution would provide the most cerlaitllong-terl11 .Jan.28. 2005 iO:50AM Encompass lnc No.5975 P. 5 Mr. Barry Bernstein January 28, 2004 PaO'e 4 .

Prior to proceeding with replacement, we recommend that a third party independent testing company confirn1 the capability of the reinforced coping stones. 5,4, The existing sealant should be removed from all submerged locations and from tbe perimeter of all coping stones. Replace with a po]ysulfide sealant and cornpatible primer, such as Pecora Synthacaulk GC-2 Plus and Pecora P53 primer.. . . The conclusions contained herein represent our p'rofessional opinioris.
