Inc[uded in <br />8 yaur packet is a proposa! from K�! for the c�esigr� and coristructian management <br />9 services. <br />10 <br />11 Timir�g of fhe arena prnject is crifical. As yo�u are fully aware, majnr campan�r�ts <br />12 of the arena refrigeratiort system harre a�tlive� their tas�f�l life ar�d are irt need of <br />13 replacem�nt. They haVe been scheduled fia be replac�� for several years. <br />14 Co�c�uc�ing fur�her sfud'[es or other delays may jeopardize the proj�cf �iming far <br />15 the surnmer nf 2008.

If it is necessary fio delay the proj�ct another y�ar, it is possible and �tig�ly <br />36 recommended fo perform a t�Qraugh inspecfiian and repair of the barre[ this <br />37 summer as a preventi�e/insurance measure.
