The meeting was called to order at 8 10 P M.
Chairman Kennedy said he thought there were two points that needed to be made
clear
1 How should we package the projects
2 Should we go out at the same time and advertise for the architect and
construction consultant
Bill Kennedy said he was concerned and felt we should get the construction
consultant on board as soon as possible The committee voted in favor of this
proposal
Bob Hutchinson said he spoke with George Beaton, Executive Director of the
Designer Selection Board He said we can do Bridge under the regs which allows
for the extension as long as the Designer Selection Group is comfortable with
that He indicated the minutes of the May 21 meeting reflect this Al Daniels
said he would reword the paragraph in the minutes concerning the emergency
situation with Bridge Mr Kennedy said the Committee would accept the minutes
at the next meeting
Mr Maclnnes said that not only was Bowman an exact duplicate of Bridge but it
had the same architect and general contractor
Bill Kennedy said he hoped the committee could resolve tonight what the RFP
should be Dick Heydecker brought draft copies of the specs for the part of
Bridge damaged by the fire for review by the committee The Committee
authorized Mr Heydecker to go forward and advertise for bids of subcontractors
for the 18th and general contractors for the 25th of June
The Town Manager said the appropriate documents were being filed He said the
SBAB is going to vote on authorizations; the first pool will be voted on on June
24 and they will have an emergency meeting on July 1 Bill Kennedy said he
assumes we will not go forward and file documents until we get authorization
The Manager said yes, that is correct
Mr Kennedy asked for a motion to accept KLQ's proposal of May 27, 1986 for work
at Bowman and Bridge Schools, including fire work in the amount of $115,290
subject to the authorization of SBAB Lacking authorization from SBAB,
authorization would be for fire damage work in the amount of $17,500 Motion
was made by Ted Edson and seconded by Mary Lou Touart The vote was unanimous
Bill Kennedy said the Committee should approve all invoices

Bill Kennedy passed out copies of proposed RFP organized by sequence of events
that Ted Edson drafted based upon comments from the last meeting of the
Committee, what we want and what we don' t want He also passed out a sample RFP
from DCPO on a U Mass project The Committee reviewed the check list and
indicated they felt item (h) "Continuously monitor design and construction
progress to ensure projects are on approved schedule, research reasons for
deviations from approved schedules, and recommend corrective action" was very
important They also wanted to add (k) Provide and administer procedure for
project closeout Mr Kennedy said we probably should add start of project July
1, 1987 with completion for 1989
Al Daniels said he felt it should be made clear to the construction consultant
that he does not give direction to the architect He will be working for the
Building Committee He does not have the authority to act for us
The Committee discussed the timetables Dick Heydecker said November or
December is an ideal time to bid for roofing, award as soon as possible after
bids to allow sufficient lead time It was decided to schedule concurrently the
advertising for the construction consultant and the architect and to select them
about the same time
It was decided to schedule the next meeting for 25th The meeting adjourned at
955 P M.
