• at this. <br /> Mr. Polito explained the architect will be so busy trying to <br /> design a school and develop the best possible arrangement, <br /> materials will be secondary . He cannot be bogged down by the <br /> Committee' s fanaticism of a certain item. This Committee does <br /> not have time to do investigation . <br /> Mr . Jones mentioned the Committee will have a lot of <br /> investigative work to do when choosing an Architectural firm. <br /> Help from someone like this would be a god send . <br /> Ms. Ahlgren stated she would like a person that answers to the <br /> Committee, like the educational consultant. The Committee can <br /> ask the architects (when interviewing them) how they would work <br /> with a Project Manager who is working for the Committee. <br /> The Committee discussed how much a project manager may cost. <br /> Mr. Jones thinks they are only needed for the design phase; will <br /> need this service for the next year at the most. It will cost at <br /> tops $100, 000 . <br /> Mr. Dinizio stated Mr. Griffin recommend hiring by phases , with <br /> Phase I for the design phase and an option in the contract to <br /> retain the person as a clerk of the works during the construction <br /> phase. <br /> • Mr. Dinizio will ask that firm to come to the next meeting to <br /> discuss their services. He will talk to Bob Writenhour .about <br /> procedure (can the Committee invite them) . <br /> Greg Taylor stated the Committee will be spending $1 .4-$2 million <br /> on an Architect, they need to hire someone they are very <br /> comfortable with . He thinks they will have a cost consultant <br /> working with them and you have to have the Architect do that cost <br /> comparison. The architect will not be selected on the price and <br /> will not be bashful with the fee. You better be happy with the <br /> person you are spending $2 million on . <br /> Mr. Polito stated that it not the point - the architect will do <br /> his job but this Committee has to review all of that and we need <br /> someone to help do that. <br /> The Committee agreed they want to invite someone in and get more <br /> information on these types of services and they agreed they need <br /> some level of service to be determined and defined. <br /> **Mr. Jones made a motion that the Committee take the <br /> following steps: invite a representative from the <br /> construction management firm ( info received last week <br /> from P. Griffin) to give the Committee an outline of the <br /> scope of their services and assist us in the choice of <br /> whether this is or is not an appropriate level of <br /> • service. Ms. Ahlgren seconded the motion. <br /> 2 <br />
