4. Sustainability— Jon Himmel (PBC) & Todd Rhodes (Sustainable Lexington) Jon stated the revised policy was just received. Some points to address are: • Water quality included? • How will the design team understand what the goals are? • Need for Engineering to be part of the frontend. • The ability to control costs is at the beginning a project. • Document needs to be easy to understand at the RFP Stage for hiring designers. Todd R. stated the Sustainable Committee reviewed the Policy & Goals Statement. Discussion of which goals are applicable to which project types. For example; CO2 requirements for School would be different then for Office Space. It was suggested that a task be added at an early stage to decide what targets are for the particular project. It is suggested to add a last step in the policy related to DPF's responsibility to maintain and continue the standard. Commissioning is a big activity, but DPF is responsible for ongoing maintenance. PBC Jon H. stated the Town Manager hopes to have feedback on the Policy in about 2 weeks. PBC and DPF will meet on Tue. 3/12/19 at 6:00p to further discuss the Sustainable Policy. At the recommendation of the PBC, the Town is considering the benefits of hiring the Sustainable Consultant directly and not as a sub to the Design Team. The expectation is that the Sustainable Consultant would better serve the town's interest in attaining it Sustainable Goals in conjunction with the LEED items by challenging the A/E team — a role they are hampered from performing when they are a member of the design team. 5.
