Project Updates

High School Science Lab Update

 
Throughout the summer the architects from Dore & Whittier have been meeting Wednesday mornings with Tim Bonfatti & Kevin Hines, Owner Project Managers from Compass, Inc., as well as Jim Polando and Mark Susser from the Permanent Building Committee (PBC), Ed Heller and Maryanne Rogers from the School Committee, and Principal Anthony Parker, Assistant Superintendent Amber Bock, Director of Technology Lee McCanne, Director of Facilities Jerry McCarty and Superintendent Cheryl Maloney. In addition, faculty members have attended a number of meetings and focus group sessions to review the design and discuss programmatic requirements for equipment.
 
On August 18, the conceptual design was presented to the PBC for their review and approval.  Also in attendance were Maryanne Rogers, Anthony Parker, and Cheryl Maloney. The PBC, after discussing the design and asking questions of the architects, project managers and school department, approved the concept, which will also be discussed at a School Committee meeting on August 23 (Case House, 7:00PM).  The next step is for Dore & Whittier to complete the schematic design phase by the end of September.
 
A schedule of public informational meetings concerning the science lab project will be discussed at a School Committee meeting on September 13 and publicized shortly thereafter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Principal Parker or Superintendent Maloney.
 
Field School Project Update
 
Compass Management has been selected and approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to be the Owner’s Project Manager for the Field School Project.  Tim Bonfatti and Jeff D’Amico, from Compass, met for the first time with the Field School Building Committee (FSBC) on August 18, 2010. The FSBC includes all members of the Permanent Building Committee as well as Ed Heller, Chair of the School Committee, and Steve Charlip, Chair of the Selectmen. Non-voting members of the FSBC include Superintendent Cheryl Maloney, Principal Matt Lucey, Director of Finance & Operations Cindy Mahr, and Director of Facilities Jerry McCarty.  
 
Compass shared the draft of a Request for Design Services, which was reviewed and discussed. The FSBC voted to approve the draft, which has been submitted to the MSBA for their feedback. It will then be advertised in the Central Register and COM/PASS, where interested Design Firms will be notified of the opportunity.
 
It is anticipated that the Design Company will be selected in October.
