There was concern that project costs could creep if there was not an appropriate mechanism. Chuck <br /> F (PBC) stated the Sustainable Policy is a fundamental agreement. We should establish a LEED <br /> process, set a budget and then design to a budget. Phil C suggested a possible way to manage <br /> sustainable costs for a project could be to have a policy that commits a percentage of dollars upfront. <br /> Phil C stated parameters need to be set or discipline is thrown out the window. Need the ability to <br /> get decisions on a timely basis to predict the outcome of the project. <br /> Deepika S (SC) suggested Front End is important so all parties know what the expectations are. <br /> Policy for a school will look different than it will for municipal projects because the stakeholders <br /> change. <br /> Discussion on Fees: Mike C asked how the base fee would get adjusted, suggesting that the work <br /> sessions with the architect and engineers might increase the design cost. Joseph Sirkovich stated it <br /> would depend on how much involvement (meetings and preparations) with the town and design <br /> team would be required. <br /> LEED vs CHIPS: There was a discussion about the difference between LEED and CHIPS. It was <br /> stated LEED and CHIPS are similar,just a different "governing" group. Typically, communities select <br /> the least costly path, but Lexington's approach is to achieve the optimal path from a Life Cycle Cost <br /> and Sustainability Cost basis, and not necessarily the least First Cost basis. <br /> Doug L (BOS) Concerns: He commented that the work sessions need to be defined. It is helpful to <br /> understand the feasibility piece and check points. Doug: <br /> • Pondered whether setting a LEED percentage puts some constraints on spending. <br /> • Asked who decides who is involved at the very early stage. <br /> • Suggested that there be a policy that looks at operating. <br /> Project Schedule Concerns: Jon H stated schedule duration needs to be properly set at the <br /> beginning of the project. Historically, the town does not leave enough time to make decisions. <br /> Motion to adjourn was made and seconded: Meeting adjourned at 8:30pm. <br /> PBC Meeting 01.10.19 2 <br />
