He invited the Board for <br /> comment. Ms. Waygan said that she had forwarded Mr. Lehrer some suggested revisions. She <br /> pointed out there actually were some revisions to the 1998 plan. Although she could not say <br /> specifically, she believed there were two chapters that had been updated. She said she would <br /> provide this information to Mr. Lehrer. Ms. Waygan next referred to a paragraph that addressed <br /> the Engagement Action Plan and Visioning Experience. She felt it important to specifically state <br /> the name of the plan, "The Local Comprehensive Plan."All members of the Board agreed to this <br /> revision but to keep the remainder of the sentence the same. Next Ms. Waygan commented on <br /> the issue of budget. She had believed that the budget was set at $35,000 for the visioning <br /> process. Mr. Phelan responded that he recalled the Board had previously spoken about rather <br /> than separating items,just to proceed with everything all at once. Ms. Waygan expressed her <br /> concern that if the Board has a bad experience with the consultant while working on the <br /> Visioning Plan that the contract will not be able to be broken. Mr. Lehrer expressed to the Board <br /> that perhaps the language in the RFP should be more specific to request a breakdown of costs for <br /> each phase of the LCP. He said then comparative evaluation criteria could be written to score <br /> the applicants. He added that the contract to be awarded should always contain a severability <br /> clause that would enable the Board to sever the contract for any reason. Mr. Phelan and all other <br /> Board members concurred. <br /> MASHPEE TOWN CLERK <br /> MAR 2 5 2021 <br /> 1 <br /> RECEIVED BY: <br />
