Ken,
Here are the requested Landscape and Irrigation Observation items to be performed during your visit tomorrow at
the Rolling Oaks Cemetery.
1) Review placement and location of Irrigation Mainline 3" back of curbing or hardscape, except along the
Garden of Hope installation which is 3' +/- back of curb within the utility easement. This placement was
installed
prior to Pre-Construction meeting. Verify 3' +/- setback of this mainline for Grave Layout conflicts.
2) Check Irrigation Control Wiring connection to Mainline. Is it taped to Mainline per detail? Are there Splice
Boxes
where the control wires were spliced? Are future wires/stations identified?
3) Are the Control Wires, leading up to the proposed Irrigation Controllers, located in a PVC Sleeve?

4) Are the Gate (Isolation) Valves installed?
5) Are the Irrigation Remote Control Valves and Quick Couplers locations stubbed up on the mainline per plan?
) Have all the Irrigation Sleeves been verified and located on As-builts? As-built drawings should be
6
presented “prior to observations commencing”.
7) Has the Irrigation Point of Connection been completed and the available pressure (120psi) been
verified? Send to
Mike Baron.
8) Perform a Mainline Pressure Test per specifications. City staff to be present. The test should be started by
irrigation contractor and verified in writing by the General Contractor. Check at end of test for pressure loss.
Observe open locations in mainline, fittings, etc.
for leaks.
9) Review Irrigation Plans, and Details for next phase installation - Lateral lines, Remote Control Valves,
Sprinkler
location of lateral lines are to be as shown on drawings, between graves in the
installation. NOTE:
east/west direction and 6" parallel to the foot of graves in the north/south direction, as requested by
the cemetery at preconstruction.
10) Visit # 2 (Landscape Architect - Mike Baron)
Manual Irrigation Coverage Test to be performed - early in morning due to potential wind factor. Lateral line
installation, trenches, assemblies, valves, and materials to be observed. Plant material to be on
site and observed before planting. Soil amendments to be installed and slips submitted.
Please send me all notes and mark up an Irrigation Plan for my use.
Thank you,
Mike Baron

Mike,
Could you provide me with a list of what I need to look for at the irrigation pressure test
tomorrow. Let’s not get to carried away.

Ken,
They plan to have the mainline pressure test for irrigation ready for you to review on Thursday at the
meeting.

Mike,
Although we will be on site tomorrow to observe the irrigation mainline pipe under pressure Parks &
Recreation also requested that they visit the site and review the installation at some point tomorrow. The
lines should have been under pressure for 3 to 4hrs prior to the 2pm site meeting. Therefore we would
estimate P&R could probably get a good idea of the installation anytime between 11am and 3 to 4pm.
Jason,
(by this afternoon)
Could you verify with the irrigation contractor and let us know if there’s going to be
any other items ready for Parks & Recreation/JST to review other than the mainline pipe under pressure.
The only scheduled items for tomorrow’s review should be at several key locations the fittings and
sleeving would be open for review along with the mainline piping under 4hrs. of pressure to detect any
leaks. Valves and quick couplers will not be installed or reviewed at this time.
Thanks,
