Annual Flower Beds The Park District has contracted with three different growers and ordered the spring flowers. They will be delivered in May. 3. Moser Tower Rehabilitation - Brian Dusak Dusak reported that the technical drawings and concepts designed by GRWA are moving forward. They are working with a paint manufacturer to help develop a painting specification for the steel and metal repairs to match the existing paint as closely as possible. They will do a small test patch prior to including in final bid documents. The next steps are developing quantities and costs for the improvements, while providing a breakdown of what is necessary and what would be considered an enhancement. More information will be forthcoming at the next PDC Committee meeting. In conjunction with the Moser Tower Rehabilitation, ERA is working on the repairs to the railing/curbing at the Paddle Boat Quarry structural walkway. Dusak thanked Stibbe and staff for their assistance in removing a section of pavers so the cross section could be assessed. Dusak inquired if there were any additional pavers in storage. Stibbe advised that the pavers were special ordered and that a decent supply had been stored. Stibbe added that salvaging the existing pavers would be preferred and the Park District could assist with the removal of pavers to store while the repairs take place. Dusak will advise Stibbe and provide measurements when needed. Friant inquired about the timing of the repairs. Dusak advised that work would begin when the weather is more favorable and the project would go out to bid in early to late spring.
