Raul asked for a brief overview of who would work on the team <br /> Mr. Roc i l l o said Le he r McGovern would work , during design development, with <br /> MMA. They have a technical services group and will provide in house <br /> consulting services and value engineering , lifecycle costing . This allows <br /> us to give you the best advise , We will set up weekly meetings with the <br /> architect and are in constant communication during the design phase . We <br /> have the technical firepower to do it . We don ' t however, want to over due <br /> it. We will negotiate with you <br /> Merry Sue - your said you will bring a project manager to this project, do <br /> you have these people on staff" <br /> Mr. Pocillo said yes , they do. They have people working on the NYC schools <br /> and in Chicago and Houston , all with a lot of school experience. <br /> Merry sue asked if they have people with MA state GESS experience"? <br /> They will be working with SRA on that, they do have MA experience. <br /> M r . Roc i l l o said they have a woman with tremendous school experience that <br /> he is thinking of. LMB will give the Committee 2-3 resumes the chance to <br /> interview them and choose the best for you. You will have the opportunity <br /> to choose that person . <br /> Bill dart i ros asked what their fee i s based on, without giving exact <br /> numbers. ? <br /> Mr . Roc i l i o said it is done in different ways, It i s not based on a <br /> percentage of the architect' s or construction fee, that is not an adequate <br /> way to give you the best service . First we will develop the scope of <br /> services and the amount of hours that it will take , We will cap i t. <br /> Bill Jones said there will be an- unprecedented change in the cost of <br /> heating the building over it' s life* The system must be flexible and have <br /> the potential for more advanced technologies, i .e . heat recovery systems,, <br /> Is that within your scope to look at it specifically and make an analysis? <br /> Mr . Roc i l l o said they have that ability but it i's a joint process with the <br /> architect. We can jointly decide the best system. He does have experience <br /> with deo thermal heat pumps , they are cost efficient and viable. A major <br /> concern of the Edison pro'ect is energy. We will be very much involved in <br /> that and will give you the opportunity to look at different types of heat <br /> sources . <br /> M r, Herbo l t of SRA said they will be looking at all of the things which <br /> could effect your energy costs--- lighting , glass , HVAC etc. <br /> Bill Jones asked them, in their e pe r i ence , how many architectural firms <br /> sone up with a value analysis study on their own efforts? <br /> Mr. Herbo 1 t said he did a study on just this point while at the Kennedy <br /> School * Most architectural firms in Boston don 't have enough in-house depth <br /> for all the areas of expertise/disciplines i t requires , In his experience <br /> architects don ' t do it unless they are forced to. Architects are typically <br /> concerned with the long term and are conservative, they want systems that <br /> are well documented , tried and true. <br /> ,doe asked how they would interface with the architect, on this issue <br /> specifically? <br /> Mr. Foci l l o said they would be right to the point. They are very <br /> successful with their ability to work with architects. We are careful not <br /> to do design work . <br /> Paul asked about maintenance manuals, what would the committee expect, what <br /> would be an acceptable maintenance manual for the school , considering it <br /> will be custodians running the school ? <br /> 3 <br />
