General Item Responsible Due Notes

9/05:01 SBC 30Oct17 SBC Meeting Minutes: A point of order was made; draft minutes from the July 24, 2017, made available to the SBC for review prior to acceptance, were prepared by PMA. JW indicated that SBC minutes need to be signed by the Committee Chair.

7/24:02 SBC 30Oct17 Designer Selection: 9/05 Update: CC/PMA informed the SBC on the progress of procuring design services for the Feasibility Study. Approximately twenty firms requested copies of the Request for Proposal packages, and many attended the non-mandatory walk-through. Ultimately, four firms submitted proposal submissions to the Town for consideration. At this juncture, PMA has reviewed the packages for statutory requirements, and found them all to be compliant. Hard and electronic copies have been furnished to the Committee for their review. Further, PMA has prepared draft documents to list the candidate groups subconsultants, and to perform reference checks. The reference checks draft was distributed at the meeting. Generally, the references ranked the firms high in areas of communication, budget control, document preparation, cost control, and construction administration. Not all references had responded by the time of the meeting. Additionally, SBC members had questions about the notation field in the draft, and PMA promised to address them in the final draft. CC/PMA gave a presentation to the SBC listing comparative attributes of the candidates, showing how the various groups stacked up on statistics such as proximity to the project, number of ongoing jobs, number of MA registered architects on staff. The purpose of the presentation was not to promote any single candidate, but to show different attributes of the prospective Designers. Ultimately, on September 26th, the Designer Selection Panel will select candidates for the DSP to interview at their meeting on October 17. The DSP will then send their rankings back to the Town and the Town may commence contract negotiations with the top ranked firm.

The DSP is made up of 13 MSBA-appointed positions, along with 3 from the Town. Per MSBA guidelines, the Town would send the Superintendent (or her designee), the Town Manager (or his designee), and a representative from the School Committee. MM informed the group that the School Committee was meeting tomorrow and would vote to approve DSP representation. Shortlisted candidate interviews are tentatively scheduled for October 17, 2017. All DSP meetings are public and will take place at the MSBA’s Boston Office. JW asked that the three DSP designees provide information to the SBC of the proceedings of the first DSP meeting. MM indicated that an email would be sent to all SBC members.

7/24:03 SBC 30Oct17 Education Program Development: JS noted a subcommittee is currently being formed to develop the Ed Program. MM indicated that he would send sample materials of the Ed Program to JS for her review. The District will be responsible for creation of much of the material which makes up the Ed Program, which is a component of the initial MSBA submission, the Preliminary Design Program, or PDP. PMA will also provide links to some sample material for the District’s review. BP inquired if Decas staff would be involved in the Ed Plan process and JS noted that they have indeed reached out to Decas.

9/5:01 Record Pre-K Project Aspect: JC stated that universal pre-K is a district priority, BP concurred and noted that a number of recent studies also support this priority. The Town’s intention is to address the District’s Pre-K needs. It was clarified that, while the MSBA excludes Pre-K portions of the project from its reimbursement program, it does not prevent the inclusion of this program. The construction of these portions would be funded solely by the Town.
