. The planninggroup reviewed the RFP and provided guidance regarding content and approach for the LTUproposal. From the first meeting we focused on two areas, writing a winning proposal and howwe could involve students at every level of the project. Mr. Pratt provided initial input as to thebest on-campus location site for the project, and how best to design the system to comply withthe grant requirements. Because the grant was for a maxim of $60,000, we knew additionalfunding was going to be required. Our Dean of Engineering has been very supportive of ourAlternative Energy program and assured us that if we got the grant that he would help us securethe additional funds to complete the project.
