He also asks John Feudo if he wants to first update the committee on <br />the RFP for the lights. <br />John Feudo gives an update and states that the boring has been completed and the Town <br />was waiting for a report back from Camp Dresser and McKee on soil testing. He has met <br />with DPW and Engineering and is pushing for releasing the RFP on the project in the winter. <br />This would lend for better pricing than if the town waits until spring. He also talked about <br />the possibility of a design /build where a private vendor would design, coordinate other <br />vendors, and give pricing for the project. J. Feudo goes on to explain that there may not be <br />enough money to complete all of the 5 proposed areas and that is why the Town must <br />prioritize them. <br />Bob LeLacheur follows up on the priority of fields and asks committee their opinions. Mr. <br />LeLacheur talks about the strategies on bidding small fields vs big fields. He makes a point <br />on saying there are more strategies aside from the actual field use. <br />J. Feudo mentions that the committee chose the order of: <br />1. Street and Lot Field <br />2. Lighted Softball Field <br />3. Tu rf 2 <br />4. Tennis Court Field <br />5.
