Mike Hickey added there are different levels of sophistication <br /> i .e HVAC - what are you willing to pay for the controls of the <br /> system. Usually you look for a simple system. You should <br /> incorporate into the design easy access for the future cabling <br /> system. <br /> Steve Greelish asked about their auditorium/acoustics experience <br /> and how might they handle our "optional " pool? <br /> Mr. Hoit responded they have done a lot of auditorium work. <br /> Natick High has a beautiful auditorium, 800 seats, a complete <br /> acoustic periphery for music and drama. Kevin Ontachi is their <br /> acoustics consultant. <br /> Mike Hickey added the heating and ventilation system has to be <br /> designed so as not to present a noise problem during <br /> presentations. <br /> They suggested calling Bill Zimmerman of Wayland , they just <br /> completed a theater at that High School . <br /> They have done pool work , it is not a huge design issue, it is a <br /> big mechanical issue. They designed pools in Westwood and <br /> Medford high schools. Everything has to be chlorine proof. <br /> Mike Hickey staid they designed a system where the heat given off <br /> from the de-humidifier unit is used to heat the pool . <br /> Peter Dinizio explained Strekalovsky and Hoit made the Building <br /> Committee look good with the Middle School addition project. <br /> Peter asked when was the last complete, new high school designed <br /> by a principal of their firm? <br /> Mr. Hoit designed one in 1976 , but as a principal at Strekalovsky <br /> and Hoit he has not done a new High School . <br /> Peter asked when was the last complete elementary school <br /> designed? <br /> Mr. Hoit stated 1976-77 . <br /> Peter explained Mashpee is thinking of hiring a project <br /> management firm, to work with the architects from day 1 . Have <br /> you worked with an owner who had that type of arrangement? How <br /> would you feel working with a project manager? <br /> Mr. Hoit said they have worked with project managers on private <br /> jobs. They would not have a problem working with one. It is <br /> another level of service to ensure the project will go well . The <br /> Quincy Shipyard project ($10 million) has one. <br /> Mr. Hoit explained they are very active with the school building <br /> assistance department developing criteria, and they are the ones <br /> who will approve or disapprove what you are doing. We have <br /> design experience and sensitivity to design. Over the last 16 <br /> years we have designed all of the elements in your <br /> requirements/program. We have experience with the town and will <br /> be sensitive to the needs of the community and of the committee. <br /> Bill Jones stated the sketch they presented of "Mashpee High" <br /> seems extravagant on the roof area. He asked if they had <br /> designed a building with a heat recovery system, using heat pumps <br /> and exchangers? It cost more to maintain but with the rise in <br /> 4 <br />
