The tree guards were added later but because the tree grates <br />were purchased by the contractor from East Jordan Iron Works we needed to match the tree guard to the manufacture <br />of the tree grates to ensure a “manufactured to fit” connection between the two. The reason we decided to place tree <br />guards at this location was to ensure the tree survival in an area known for substantial vandalism. This is also the reason <br />that we needed to ensure a “manufactured to fit” connection so that the tree guards would be as resistant as possible to <br />hooligans and intoxicated individuals defending themselves from the trees. The connection between the two products <br />is the key to the tree guard staying solidly in place doing its job of protecting the trees. We felt that by matching the <br />products from the same manufacturer would be the best possible situation to protect our infrastructure. <br /> <br />Let me know if you need anything else. <br />John Bonham <br /> <br />Project Manager <br /> <br />PW Engineering <br /> <br />99 E Broadway, Suite 400 <br /> <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br />(541) 682-5300 <br /> <br />(541) 682-8410 fax <br /> <br />john.j.bonham@ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________________ <br />From: STEFFEN Adam R <br />Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 12:01 PM <br />To: BONHAM John J <br />Subject: FW: Override Needed on DO 2012011679 <br /> <br /> <br />John – See below.
