Mashpee Economic Development Industrial Corporation (EDIC) Joint meeting with Affordable Housing Committee Minutes – January 11, 2022 6:30 PM ZOOM Meeting Mashpee Town Hall Present (EDIC): Carol Sherman, Pamela McCarthy, Patrice Pimental, Glenn Thompson, Denise Duston Absent: Robyn Simmons Affordable Housing Committee: Allan Isbitz, Bruce Willard, Mike Richardson, Noelle Pina Guest: Evan Lehrer Member of Public Attending: Christine MacDonald 1. Call Meeting to Order Carol Sherman opened the meeting at 6:05 p.m. 2. Old Business Feasibility Study for 108 Commercial Street: Evan Lehrer reported on the progress of the Request for Quote (RFQ) that went out for a feasibility study to build housing on 108 Commercial Street. Evan sent the RFQ out to 6 firms, we received 5 responses, though one of the five did not submit a hard copy by the deadline. The quotes ranged from $24,600 to $38,650. Given the fact that an offer is determined by the best price, it is highly likely that the town will extend an offer to Horsley Whitten. Evan anticipates that he and Rodney Collins will sit down and go over the quotes this week. Evan anticipates that once the offer is made, it would take 3-4 months for the feasibility study to be completed (probably by the end of June or early July). Once it is completed, it will be attached to a Request for Proposals (RFP). It is likely the RFP will be awarded in September if things go without incident. Once the award for the feasibility study is made, the EDIC will need to convene to ensure the funds will be available to the housing trust. The EDIC previously voted to pay for the feasibility study; they will have to reconvene to vote on the specific amount. Denise Duston moved we adjourn the meeting; Pamela McCarthy seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55.
