The parent company which owns Avery Sportsturf trades over the counter as <br /> IRTN. It operates as - 14 Sports' or in Spats'., Our information indicates it was <br /> incorporated approximately 1 year ago and owns Avery Sportsturf outright. <br /> Normal industry custom is that any Warranty claim is the responsibility of the <br /> parent company. Given its limited experience. it is doubtful that it could bond or <br /> guaranty any project this size. <br /> 8. Since IRTN launch Tess than a year ago, it has promoted Itself as the marketer of <br /> 'Perm' Grass” then "Lombardi Turf and now a product called "Avery Turf". <br /> 9.

It is <br /> rubber turf manufacturers that a pad layer must be installed to. meet minimum <br /> safety standards. It is our understanding from the public bid documents that no <br /> such padded layer will be installed at Eugene. <br /> We at Fieldturf feel very strongly about this'infill artificial turf" system development. <br /> The experience et Nebraska has resulted in commitments from major colleges and <br /> professional teams that you may be aware of, or shall be announced in the very near <br /> future. We have offered the same quality of Fieldturf to the City of Eugene at a very <br /> competitive price. <br /> We are committed to honoring your required installation dates, and giving you the <br /> same proven quality fields that many of Oregon's and America's finest athletes will <br /> be playing on this fall. <br /> We look forward to working with you. <br /> S'• - rely. <br /> i ' /4g» <br /> ohn Gilman CEO <br /> l " <br /> rnrrLr <br />
