GEOFFREY a CORNFSH
GOLF COURSE ARCKITECr
May 17,1962
nL.w. a.I. Mr. Albert E. Noyes, Director
Recreation Department
Bangor, Maine
Dear Me. Moyes:
Reference your letter of May 8,1962 requesting more in-
formation about my services I hope the following will answer
you questions.
For the preliminary plan I would provide you with a plan
of the eighteen holes since ultimately you will buillb 18 and
the second nine must be planned to fit in with the first nine.
On this preliminary plan I would show the location of greens,
tees and traps.
With the preliminary plan I would give you an up-to-date
breakdown of the cost estimate to build the course - both
the first and second nine. in 1956 I gave you an estimate but
I would have to revise these figures upward. I would not want
to make this estimate until I visited the site again and also
I need to see the additional land that would be used for the
second nine and to discuss with you the proposed method of son -
Eruption -- that is by contract or by doing work directly on
city payroll.
On the enclosed sheet I have presented my proposal as to
golf course architectural services if I were retained to design
the course. You will recall that I am not a contractor but
provide plane, specifications and supervision. Because of the
distance to Bangor my figure for designing and supervising con-
struction of your course has to be somewhat higher than I charge
In Southern New England. The $500 for the preliminary plan
would be subtracted from the total fee if I later do the course.
Please do not hesitate to call or write if there are other
questions.
Sincerely,
S
