Bill Martiros said this reinforced his belief they couldn ' t do a good job <br /> in Mashpee . They are not creative . They did a poor job in the schools we <br /> looked at. They were not responsive to our request for information before, <br /> how responsive will they be in the future. When answering about the <br /> mistakes , Mr. Anderson blamed everyone but himself. He does not have any <br /> confidence in them. <br /> Bill Jones does not feel they are very imaginative group . Feels they are <br /> limited in comparison to the other 3 firms. <br /> Joe disagreed with the limitation . Thinks they are creative. They could <br /> help on the education programming . They could meet our cost and schedule. <br /> They will use material in a creative way. They could design a school that <br /> would fit in well with what we need , would have flair and would meet the <br /> site considerations . They would do an excellent job. <br /> Janice said they showed they have a lot of high school experience. She was <br /> impressed with the amount of work they did for Mashpee high school . She <br /> did however not like the school they presented . They have experience. We <br /> need national input for our programming . <br /> Paul said they were the only firm who stuck their neck our by presenting a <br /> design ; they took a gamble . They showed what they could do for Mashpee. <br /> The positives are we know what kind of person Carl is , cooperative, <br /> listens, we have a good relationship with him. Gary Larson always listened , <br /> every comment made was on the plan . We know they can meet the cost budget. <br /> This Committee scrutinized them very closely and looked at a lot of <br /> schools . They don ' t walk away from their customers, they do long term <br /> follow up. The national component of Perkins and Will is a heavy weight to <br /> overcome. <br /> Steve said he does not hold the ugly school against them. The <br /> architectural concept for their projects are all over the place, very <br /> diverse . He is still concerned about details , he was not happy with the <br /> answer they gave to his question about that. The cafeteria at Fall River is <br /> ugly and doesn ' t work well . Can they do the job? All the candidates can . <br /> Who can do it best for Mashpee? He is not as happy with DRA as with some of <br /> the other firms . <br /> Peter said he hopes everyone is over the site selection experience and that <br /> is not effecting our judgement with DRA because that was not their fault. <br /> The cafeteria at Fall River was noisy . Their color schemes are very bright <br /> but they are urban school . overall programming is this Committee' s <br /> achilles heel . We have to have someone who understands a program. DRA will <br /> have to reach for it. He would pick them second . <br /> Merry Sue noted it is interesting the firm whose buildings we cannot get to <br /> is our first choice . <br /> Paul said Perkins and Will does have the programming but we haven ' t seen <br /> their designs. Are we willing to take that for the programming? <br /> Steve thinks it is a solid partnership. We could go the safe way with <br /> Keyes and feed them information . <br /> Merry Sue said we don ' t have the information to feed them. I don ' t have <br /> enough information to offer to them if they don ' t have anything to offer to <br /> me. <br /> 13 <br />
