2. The gravity manhole has been vacuum tested; (waiting confirmation from contractor)
3. Ground Water wells (pyzometers) have not been installed. We are unable to fnd any correspondence
requiring these devices. We did however locate a letter, from the City of Yelm, dated December 16,
2005 rejecting the use of the pyzometers;
4. The electrical installation has been inspected and approved by the State Electrical inspector. The use of
common raceway for low voltage and line voltage is prohibited by NEC. I believe that the system was
installed with separate raceway and the issue of combined use of the raceway was at the electrical and
control panels only;
5. The pumps in the STEP tanks have been replaced; (Waiting confirmation from contractor)
6. The floats have been reconfigured to operate as specifed. (waiting confrmation from contractor)
7. The alternating pump control has keen wired correctly; (waiting confrmation from contactor)

General Comments:
1. The storm pond and swales are under construction and will be cleaned with the completion of the
constmclion;
2. The storm pond is part of the football, baseball and track constmclion and will be completed with the
completion of construction;
3. The landscaping and fencing on the southeast property lines are part of the football, baseball and track
construction and will be completed with the completion of construction;
4. Neither a maintenance drive nor sidewalks are part of this contract. The work described was part of an
alternate bid which was rejected;
5. It is unclear as to what is required in the request for cleaning of the planter strip along the southeast
fencing and the homes on 10P";
6. See number 2 above;
7. The northeast property line is hydro-seeded;
8. The wooden fence at the entrance to the site from Carter St. has been replaced;
9. The fence along the Hawks Landing Subdivision is constructed on the district property and installed
horizontal to the earth. The fence is constructed as a visual buffer between the district property and the
homes in Hawks Landing. It does not appear as if the gaps below the fence affect the visual buffer
between the school and the homes. Specifcally which lots have construction debris remaining on their
property associated with the school construction?
10. The parking lot stripping will be corrected per the drawings, (waiting schedule from contractor)
11. The design for improvements to SR 507 has not been approved by WSDOT as of the date of this letter.
It is expected that an approval of the Improvements will 6e received by the end of August 2007.
Construction advertisements and bidding can not be expected to be completed prior to the end of
September 2007- There remains a possibility that construction of the Improvements will not be
completed this calendar year-
Documentation
Does the city have templates to use for the frontage improvement deferrals, the dedication of sewer and
water lines, the easements for sewer and water systems and the storm water maintenance agreements? If
they are available would you forward them to the district?
