references" be included. The property lines will be shown on the aria] photos. In the
schematic plans we will not show a 100 foot buffer.
The committee members present went through the RFP in detail. Thomas noted that it is
important to stress in the RFP that synchronization of the design with the closure plans is
important. Negotiation of the closure cost with a developer may be appropriate. Dan
Ensminger asked about including a rating system, but the consensus was that the system
as proposed was satisfactory. Dave Nugent recommended advertising in the Wall Street
Journal in addition to notifying those who have expressed interest, and in addition to the
publication in the State Register.
Language noting that the Town will be held harmless from any brokers costs should be
included.
The RFP for financial services will be out next week.
