The people who know synthetic- <br /> fields design and construction 'do synthetic fields ". <br /> 2. The areas of work are clearly delineated. There will be no issues of which consultant is doing <br /> which work. We would be happy to work as a sub-consultant to the other firm. <br /> 3. The synthetic fields components could be fast tracked and designed independent of the parks <br /> component providing additional time for user group input on the parks component and assuring <br /> the fields were completed for a September opening. <br /> 4 . The School District end the City will realize the benefit of the combined expertise in a more <br /> competitive construction cost and a final product that was properly specified and inspected, <br /> 5. The combined approach will better assure completion of the project on schedule, which based on <br /> our detailed analysis and experience, is very tight. <br /> 6. You would realize the fee savings from our work component rather than having to negotiate for a <br /> reduced fee from the other firm. <br /> 7. We would propose an 8% fee for our component of the project and are Open to negotiations on <br /> this. <br /> Jon P. Reimann <br /> • <br />
