Call to order at 7:30 T. Elmore of DWMP made the announcement that the CM Selection Committee for the Maria Hastings ES Project finalized their evaluations and selected Walsh Brothers as Construction Manager. 2. Plan Update and Site Development Considerations V. Low reviewed the slides provided in the meeting packet; she explained that there have not been any major design changes made to the building or the site since the Committee had last met. She and D. DiNisco pointed out that they have explored multiple options for Police access around the building, as requested by the Lexington Police Department, but they have not settled on a particular option yet at this time. V. Low explained that the cost difference between the options could range significantly, as it affects the size of the retaining wall which abuts it and could become pricey; it will become clearer which direction to go in once they receive the reconciled SD cost estimate. Furthermore, DiNisco discussed the option of building an access road to Mass. Ave on the upper portion of the site for utility vehicles during construction. The Committee discussed this option and suggested exploring ways to use this road permanently, even after construction. The Design team explained that due to the volume of traffic on Mass. Ave and its location to the bypass over the highway, it may be unsafe to use the access road as a permanent drive, though they reiterated that they will be exploring these options further with the Construction Manager.
