It can be said that the true measure of an enterprise is its ability to handle severe crises. We have <br />two major examples: <br />1. It is acknowledged that the Sportsplex was constructed with poor design and inferior <br />materials. When the critical ice rink subfioor header system failed due to corrosion, <br />the prognosis was an eighteen-month shutdown and rebuild cost of $2million. After <br />much research, Recreation Factory Partners applied a process not previously used in <br />the industry. Successfully tunneling under the rink and replacing the entire header <br />system, we reopened in flve months at a cost of $600K. <br />2. When the pandemic threatened to infiict signiflcant long-term damage on Sportsplex <br />operations, we compassionately furloughed staff, maintained the facility, and then <br />worked with the County Health Department to creatively and safely re-open <br />progressive aspects of the facility, returning much needed wellness services to <br />County residents. Some of our procedures were adopted by neighboring Counties as <br />the standard for safe reopening. We retained most of our quality, experienced staff. <br />We believe we have created a unique company to meet the needs of Orange County. Recreation <br />Factory Partners headquarters were moved to Hillsborough to better serve. Most of our staff live in <br />Orange County and are part of the community. If selected, I would be the full-time onsite Manager of <br />the Sportsplex. On a personal note, my family and I live in Hillsborough. My wife teaches at <br />Hillsborough Elementary, and our three young boys participate in local activities. This is home and <br />provides us with personal insight and attachment to Orange County. <br /> We appreciate your consideration, and while we have a passion to be your management team of <br />choice, we wish you all the best in your selection, regardless of your decision. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Andrew Stock <br />Chief Executive Officer <br />Recreation Factory Partners <br />c.c.
