City Hall Facility:
I have enclosed Construction Meeting Minutes #9 for your files.
Bids for asbestos abatement are due next week, relative to this I have asked that
Mr. Engel again verify that it is the General Contractor's responsibility to remove all

seven light poles for the City, but have indicated a desire to perform the
underground work in Spring, citing that it is just too late to perform such work.This

may award the contract as late as Jan 31St, 2009 and require completion within 120
days-roughly the end of May, based on the submitted prices.

respond by Dec 18th, 2009.

Heights. I have enclosed Ms. Shodeen's notice to MNDOT as well as the application
