2/22/2010 <br />Cost <br />Completion of the medians has been budgeted for in the 2010 Capital Improvement Plan. The <br />budgeted amount for this work is $65,000. This would cover the construction cost of 1.3 acres <br />medians from Auburn Street to Twin Lakes Road. This estimate is based on placing topsoil <br />for native plants, preparing seedbed in the existing medians, planting and maintaining native <br />plants. Depending on the scale and complexity of the selected landscape option the cost may <br />go up or down accordingly. <br />Implementation <br />Construction of the final landscaping will follow some basic steps regardless of the specific <br />landscape option selected. Details on topsoil, plant materials and irrigation are dependant on <br />specifics of the option selected. Irrigation stubs have been installed on the newly constructed <br />medians between Xavier Street and Twin Lakes Road in the event that the landscape option <br />selected requires irrigation. A native planting plan could benefit from a basic temporary <br />irrigation system put in place to help establish new native plantings. The basic steps that need <br />to be accomplished are as follows: <br />1. Place topsoil in new medians, augment, treat or replace topsoil in existing medians <br />2. Install temporary or permanent irrigation system <br />3. Plant seed and plantings <br />4. Provide temporary cover to allow plantings to establish <br />5. Maintain plantings through out warranty period <br />
