• Hill stated work is ongoing, and there are some concerns on how the project is progressing and
being managed, citing;
o Construction schedule concerns and as of now construction is 5 days behind schedule.
Hill has been trying to get updates since November 5th
o Analysis for the financials, in Hills view, is lacking. Paid allowance numbers are
inadequately organized. Payment items do not tie together adequately.
o DiNisco commented on the lack of leadership on site. No real central leader pushing
schedules, and contractors in getting their jobs done.
o DPF stated when the first phase was not getting done on time, a meeting was held with
Bond executives back in October.
o DiNisco feels this is not a crisis, but critical and needs to be fixed.
o DPF informed the committee that they will be notifying Bond for a January 12th, 2017
meeting request at 5:OOpm with the Senior Vice President of Bond, to discuss the project
teams concerns.
PBC Meeting 12.22.16 2
o Three DPF members are participating in this discussion, Jon Himmel, Howard Hobbs and
Chuck Favazzo.

2. Fire Station Proiect - John McElravy (Tecton Architects) & John Wilson (Lexington Fire Chief)
Jeff McElravy of Tecton Architects was introduced to PBC. Jeff will be working on the Lexington Fire
Station Project; as well as, reviewing the Police Station.
• Tecton met with both Fire and Police to get feedback for both programs.
• Police program is currently approx. 30,000 sf and Fire is approx. 22,000 sf.
• Collecting ideas for the design over the next couple of weeks.
• HDC has assigned Bob Adams as liaison.
• Had conference call with the Historic Commission liaison and discussed site characteristics.
• Tecton presented early stage drawings of various options for the Police and Fire designs.
• PBC asked if it is realistic to use any part of the existing Police Station.
• Tecton has initial thoughts to not re -use much of the existing, but certainly is looking at all
possible design options, cost impact of using the existing building, and any concerns with the
Historic Commission.
Fire Project
• Liberty Mutual Building could handle the Fire Station, but not the apparatus.
• Leasing and installing temporary apparatus bays is the path.
• A lot of residential exists in the back of the building, and needs to be taken into consideration.
• Tecton stated they are looking at having floor plans in early January, showing some initial
ideas.
• PBC asked if comps from other communities have been done. How is the square footage
being validated? Tecton stated getting comps was not described in his scope of work, but
could do this.
• DPF questioned how the Donham & Sweeney Architects study compared with the new
programs. The Police Station is slightly larger than the D & S report and the fire is similar or
slightly smaller, at this time.
• It was asked if the traffic study will be done by next meeting — No. It will be a couple of
weeks of counts, number crunching, and then early February for proposed traffic solutions.
• Next meeting dates were discussed.
• Fire Project goes to Town Meeting this year, not Police.

T. Elmore pointed out that the cost of swing space could be upwards of $2 -3M, meaning the new
building would be the most cost effective option.
D. DiNisco went on to explain the site differences and parking layouts found within each option as well
as opportunities for future expansion. She then explained that though the elementary school already
has a large population, Option 3 does offer the possibility to expand down the road if needed.
The committee discussed the estimated costs, agreeing that Option 3 would be the most cost
effective and best supports the educational program.
D. DiNisco pointed out that the School Committee and Community members who had attended some
of the Community Meetings also agreed that Option 3 is the best fit for this project.
3. Vote to Proceed with the Preferred Option
VOTE: Motion to select Option 3, Concept C as the preferred option and have the Designer
and OPM submit the Preferred Schematic Report to the MSBA by D. Perry, 2nd by C.
Oldenburg. VOTE: Unanimous to approve.
4. The Path forward in January — Design and Other Meetings
T. Elmore of DWMP commented on the 1 -month look -ahead schedule (see attached) which was
handed out at the meeting; he pointed out that the project team uses this schedule to track upcoming
meetings which has recently been updated with DiNisco's schedule of bi- weekly design staff
meetings. He then added that the tentative agendas for the next four meetings are also attached in
case any of the P /SBC members have interest in participating.
5. Sustainable Building Process Update
P. Goddard reported that the last Sustainability Stakeholders meeting was a success, and there is a
follow up meeting scheduled for January 9, 2017 which C. Barrentine, PBC Member will be attending.
Concerns were raised about the ability of the Stakeholders to come to recommendations in time meet
the Hastings timeline and that this effort may be a guiding influence if policy discussions take longer
than expected. It was discussed that the Hastings project may proceed as following the spirit of the
initiative.
