Plenty of things to track. Good work. <br /> On thQ money side I heard from Lynn B today that there is no due the contractor this pay period. Kind of suprising but this gives <br /> us a breather to get the funding and purchasing squared away. Thanks for your efforts on this side of the project also. <br /> me <br /> From: PROUDFOOT Emily A <br /> Sent:.Tuesday, September 05, 2006 4:58 PM <br /> To: StEFFEN Adam R; RICHARDS Todd; HALLETT Rob R; GIRARD Chris J; UTT Tom; HANSON Jeff P; ZUCKER Richard; HOSTICK <br /> Robin A; PETERSON Carrie A <br /> Cc: FINNEY Kevin P; WEISS Carolyn J; MILOVICH Scott R; CAHILL Michelle R <br /> Subject: FW: RiverPlay fixes wrap up. <br /> All - <br /> I thought I'd do another round of updates on outstanding RiverPlay issues -we're getting very close to final completion on this <br /> one. Ifi I don't mention something that you have a question about, please let me know. <br /> 1) The stage coach will be repaired tomorrow and Thursday and reopen for public use on Saturday, 9/9. The quick version <br /> is that LSI staff will pour footings and place new shocks tomorrow morning on site, and then have a welder come out to <br /> the Roosevelt Yard to do some work early tomorrow afternoon. The stage coach will be reinstalled first thing Thursday <br /> morning with City and LSI staff. It will reopen for public use at the request of amenities staff on Saturday morning. <br /> 2), On Wednesday afternoon, LSI staff will make necessary repairs and adjustments to a few of the components on the <br /> Skinner Butte Climber that amenities staff have discovered to be less than safe, or a little wobbly, etc. These repairs will <br /> be completed before Thursday 9/7 <br /> 3) Both landscape and lawn components of this project have been rolled over to City maintenance staff for ongoing <br /> maintenance. <br /> 4} The antenna which remotely connects the control of the water play components of the site was vandalized a couple of <br /> weeks ago and deemed to be only partially repairable. As a result, I have ordered a new antenna which should be here <br /> within 10 days or so. Simultaneously, Ihave re-negotiated with the vendor of the Water Odyssey products to provide us <br /> with new activation buttons for both the Weeping Water fixture and the Little Willamette activator fixture. These new <br /> buttons are completely sealed components and should provide an excellent fix to the issue of sand interfering with the <br /> proper operation of these fixtures. We'll get a new antenna to trade with the old one (that I just ordered) as the old style <br /> will be incompatible with the new buttons. Look for all of this to be finished before the end of the year. I've heard 8 weeks <br /> or so, but I'll believe it all when I have buttons in my hand. <br /> 5~ Lastly, we're having ongoing performance issues with the water pump and the wheel. I'm looking to have a discussion <br /> with Tom Utt tomorrow in the hope of reaching an operational solution to the seemingly random functionality of this piece. <br /> 6) Kevin Finney brought an issue with the Ferry to my attention over the weekend which is that it's very stiff and potentially <br /> there's a connection to the bottom rail of the gondola which may not be functioning properly. I'll research this by the end <br /> of the week and get back to Jeff and/or Kevin. <br /> ~.~e let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns and thanks again for your ongoing persistence and <br /> professionalism as we work the kinks out of this great playground. <br /> Emily <br /> 9i6izoo6 <br /> <br />
