the Petrakis Field Infield Turf Replacement Project.
DISCUSSION
Bids were received on August 21, 2008 for the Petrakis Field Infield Turf Replacement
Project. A summary of the two bids received is as follows:

turf. The City has $115,000 budgeted for this project and Loras College was to provide
the remaining funds needed. We could not reach a final agreement on the development
of the project and Loras College decided to withdraw its cost sharing offer.

Replacement Project.
