Subject: FW: questions about solar powered picnic table status <br />From: Dahmus, Maria E.

I wanted to touch base with you on a few questions about the <br />project to be sure it's all proceeding as planned. <br />1) Regarding the construction of the table: Kristin mentioned that the streets department was planning to <br />construct the table, benches, and roof. Will the streets department be doing the construction rather than a <br />general contractor? Could the team talk with the streets department (or general contractor) to be sure what <br />they're designing works with what the City plans to construct and also to be sure the team stays on schedule <br />for their components of the project? Is there a contact person you could connect them with for that? <br />2) Regarding the budget for the project: Kristin mentioned that there is $2000 available for the project from <br />the 2017 Energy City account. (Is this still correct?) Should the engineering department send you (or <br />someone else at the city) an invoice for that portion of the project so the team can continue to purchase <br />components to build table? (Kristin handled this part for the first payment, so I'm not sure what the process is <br />or the exact status of the budget from the city's end.) <br />I'm also cc'ing the student project lead, Alex Fernandez, to this email so we're all up-to-date on the <br />questions/status. <br />Thank you again for working with the Senior Design Clinic and the Sustainable Communities Partnership on <br />this project! <br />Maria <br />Maria Dahmus, Ph.D. <br />Assistant Director, Office of Sustainability Initiatives <br />University of St. Thomas <br />St. Paul, MN 55105 <br />Phone: 651-962-6391 <br />medahmus@stthomas.edu <br />www.stthomas.edu/osi <br />
