Paul was impressed with their e n 9 i nee r i n g firm, he knew his business and <br /> knew what we were looking for, we don ' t however , want people standing <br /> around because we bought so much . He is concerned they are over qualified <br /> and more than we want. He is not sure how they would be dealing with the <br /> community, <br /> Peter did not like that they did not bring their P ro'ect Manager with them. <br /> They did not know we had selected sMMA, they were just selling their <br /> resume . <br /> Janice said we could really take advantage of and it would be interesting <br /> to work with the people who have the ebntract for the Edison schools , <br /> Tishman : <br /> Paul thinks they are a very good firm. Dan Tishman is a good speaker with <br /> good ideas. The scope of ghat we want is a downscale for them, we want <br /> someone who can deal with Mashpee people, life on the cape i s much <br /> different. <br /> 8 i 1 1 Jones would like to make a small contract with Tishman research. <br /> Peter~ said they have a good relationship with sMMA . He could call Ed <br /> Freneette and ask how he likes them. <br /> Bill M a r t i ros said we like 3 firms , maybe there is a cost factor . why don ' t <br /> we negotiate with them <br /> Steve explained we can ' t, we have to choose thea on their merits. If in <br /> the negotiation of the price it becomes prohibitive, you can then bac kdown <br /> and pick your next choice . <br /> Merry sue asked if we will have to defend the need for the pro'ect manager <br /> with the Board of selectmen? <br /> Peter reminded the committee that Chartwell has a lot of school experience <br /> as well , <br /> Merry sue noted Chartwell presented to us a Mashpee presentation , Tishman <br /> presented where we could go if we wanted to, <br /> Peter asked Merry sue ghat she thought was lacking at Chartwell compared to <br /> Tishman <br /> She was impressed with the bulk of material they have on hand - they have <br /> material at their fingertips , A lot of in house capabilities . <br /> Will it be dublicative of sMMA/Perkins and will ? <br /> Peter fears if we hire too much horse power it will be clash of the titans , <br /> We don ' t want to stifle the creativity of the architect, <br /> He thought Tishman was boring , not dynamic . we need someone to get <br /> everyone ' s attention and act as a leader , a consensus builder. M r . <br /> Aitchison is more capable of representing the committee in a positive <br /> light, <br /> Janice said she feels Chartwell is clawing he wants this job so badly . she <br /> thinks he is small time compared to these other two firms. Tishman i s on <br /> another- plan , we choose sMMA because we liked their national capabilities , <br /> We don ' t' realize the stumbling blocks we may run into., <br /> Steve Greelish said he will starnd down when it comes time to vote because <br /> he was not present at the first round of interviews. <br /> Bill Jones does not think we need the abilities of the big firms .
