Dear Mrs. Merrit:
It was a pleasure talking with you today regarding the
new Civic Center for Dubuque. The facilities to be
included in this Center coupled with the Theater and
the mall will, I believe, certainly make the Dubuque
Downtown the envy of many other mid western cities.
We are of course very interested in this project and
would welcome the opportunity to be of service to your
community. I realize that you have worked with another
firm on the preliminary phases and feel bound to give
them first consideration for the actual implementation
of the project. But, should the committee feel that
these implementation phases may require additional
expertise and experience not now available or that com-
p6tent and thorough services can be secured perhaps at
less cost to the city, we would respectfully invite you
to consider our firm.
Our project experience includes a number of buildings
similar to the type of facilities included in your
Center. Incidentially, our engineers have experience
in the design of indoor ice skating arenas. Several
projects are listed which incorporated these similar
facilities.
Theaters.
Wisconsin Theater - Sheboygan
Orpheum Theater - Madison
Student Union - U.W. Parkside, Kenosha
Capital Theater - Racine
Athletic Facilities:
West YMCA - Madison
East YMCA - Madison
Multi Use Facilities (Gallery included):
Activities Building - Grand Army Home,
King, Wisconsin
This 1s of course, a very abreviated list of our total
project experience.
Again, we understand the proceedure your committee wishes
to follow and we submit this invitation to consider us
in the event they feel other options are open which offer
the potential of a better, more economical project.
Thank you for considering us.
Sincerely,
KENTON PETERS ; ASSOCIATES, INC.
