5. Redevelopment Plan RFP - Mr. Gillespie indicated that he has requested the respondent of the initial RFP for the 1178 Silas Deane Highway property to provide separate pricing proposals for Phases I and II.

   The Agency then discussed a second RFP document regarding 1178 Silas Deane Highway that Mr. Gillespie prepared based on the initial RFP document discussion at the December 10, 2008 Agency meeting. It is expected that responses to this new RFP will contain separate pricing proposals relative to Phase I and Phase II.
