Info on construction of Pickleball courts
Dear Bordentown Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
I am requesting any invoices, RFPs and professional services and the total project cost for the construction of the pickleball courts at Northern Community Park.
Yours faithfully,
Lorrie Thier
The pickleball courts were created as part of a bigger project which included
constructing a baseball field, cutting out a baseball field, a walking path
and relocating the dog park. Do you want the same materials for the entire
project? I cannot segregate out just the pickleball courts. Please let me
know if you want the materials requested for the entire Northern Community
Park project.
Dear Bordentown Township,
Yes please I will take the info on the full project at Northern community park
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Lorrie Thier
