Each member can say how they felt <br /> about each of the firms. The Committee agreed. <br /> KEYES <br /> Bill Jones thinks they are a complete firm, have a good track record , build <br /> efficient buildings. They are one of his top choices . <br /> Merry Sue agreed they are one of her top choices. They have Cape <br /> experience and worked with Cape architecture. <br /> Janice Mills also agreed they are one of her top choices. There basic <br /> design is very efficient. <br /> Paul Griffin agreed Keyes is a very good firm. If they were chosen, we <br /> j can talk about our concerns about lack of "flair" . He liked all their jobs <br /> he visited. He is concerned the Groton school had some problems which was <br /> mainly contractor responsibility but Keyes agreed they should have followed <br /> them more carefully. <br /> Peter explained some of the problems at the Groton school . The town will <br /> have to pay for those repairs. The computer system is not up to speed , it <br /> had a lot of problems. This Building Committee would have to be sure to <br /> put more "flair" into the design. Aside from the problems at Groton, the <br /> other schools were nicely done. <br /> Bill Martiros agrees with Paul , he was on the same trip. They don 't seem to <br /> be very imaginative. <br /> Joe said having all in house disciplines is a plus. The concept for <br /> Marstons Mills school worked. A lot of creativity will be required and <br /> that will have to be looked at hard. He does not know if Keyes will be <br /> able to do that. <br /> Steve is impressed with their broad base of architectural work. He did some <br /> background on the Groton school , it was clearly the contractors problem and <br /> the school committee or clerk of the works let them get away with it. He is <br /> familiar with that contractor . He saw innovative use of materials at the <br /> Marstons Mills school . <br /> Michael Pare took an analytical approach . He first went through the State <br /> 1 <br />
