Now We're Really Rolling

Lots has happened in the last twenty-four (24) hours or so. First (1st), The Agreement for the Leaders Park singletrack project was voted on and unanimously approved by the Parks and Recreation Board.

Our insurance provider has sent us a quote for the insurance required by the City. Once the insurance types answer a few questions, we'll be cutting them a check and getting our certificate.

Our attorney has put together a whopper of a waiver. Once our attorney says we can do so, we'll send that to the City for the risk management types to review it.

This weekend I'll be pre-assembling our two (2) bridges. I have some modifications to do to some existing trusses. I also need to build the steel abutments. I'll build them and then dismantle them, match marking as I go. This will make for quick and easy work in the field.

We're (we as in FAST) in the market to purchase some handy-dandy tools and such. We intend to pick up a heavy duty pull type wagon. The one (1) we're eye-balling has a one-thousand pound (1000 lbs) capacity. It also has big floatation type tires.

I'm about to schedule a park walk through with Parks and the crabby neighborhood types. It's a necessary evil and could serve to limit bitching in the future.

I need to acquire a building permit. Parks and Recreation are supposed to help to make this quick and easy.

We need to have a pre-construction meeting with Parks. I'm assuming this is going to be very quick since we've gone over everything many, many times. We'll see, I could be greatly surprised. I think it's standard operating procedure for City type things. Again, probably no biggie.

I've mentioned in the past Parks and Recreation felt this project and process was moving very fast while FAST people compared this to glacier movement. Now, all of a sudden, things are smoking. It will be so nice to have all the paperwork FINALLY complete and nothing better to do than to dig. You dig?

Ride On.
