9) Other Relevant Issues (Owner may evaluate importance of other relevant issues presented by the firm.) Each interviewer evaluated the firms separately during the presentations and at the conclusion. of the interview process, the Committee reviewed the evaluation,forms and compiled the.individual score sheet data. At the conclusion of the process, the selection committee unanimously chose Pomroy Associates (PA) of South Easton, MA as the most qualified firm to represent the Town of Mashpee as the Owner's Project Manager (OPM). The proposal submitted by Ernie Virgilio was ranked second while the Lincoln Consultants proposal was ranked third. The results of the evaluation are attached hereto. The Committee was impressed with Pomroy Associates' understanding of the role of an OPM, their experience in this capacity, and the depth of their team. PA has extensive experience in all phases of project development and construction. The firm has successfully provided project management services for a number of municipal projects in Bridgewater, MA and for businesses in the private sector including Nationwide Health Properties in California and Constellation Wharf in Charlestown, MA. PA has also performed commercial loan analysis and construction inspections for the banking industry. Individually, Richard Pomroy, Principal of Pomroy Associates and the designated lead for the Mashpee project, has over 25 .years experience in project financing, design, and construction. His associates at PA have over 65 years combined experience in these fields_ All would have some involvement in the Mashpee project, but more importantly, several would be able to assume a lead role during the project if necessary. The Committee was equally as impressed_ with the organizational tools developed by Pomroy Associates to assist with management of projects. These tools will provide the necessary attention to detail and accountability required. The Town will be able to track progress of the project through a client page' on PA's website. Through use of time management matrices, action logs, and critical path schedules, all parties with a role in the project will know what decisions need to be made by whom when and why so that the project stays on course. Finally, the Committee was impressed with Pomroy Associates understanding of the scope and budget for the project. Paraphrasing Richard Pomroy; the point of the project is to serve, not to be a monument. This understanding and philosophy will be beneficial in reviewing the design and providing value engineering recommendations to the Town so that the Substation can be constructed with the funding available. As a result of the foregoing, I am recommending that the Board of Selectmen authorize me to enter into contract negotiations with Pomeroy Associates for the purpose of serving as the Owner's Project Manager for the South Mashpee Fire Sub Station project.
