MINUTES OF INTERVIEW MEETING OF May 28, 2002

 

 

The Board of Library Trustees held a public meeting on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 at 9:00 AM in the Judge Welsh Hearing Room in Town Hall, 260 Commercial Street for the purpose of interviewing architectural firms (see attached agenda).  Attending were Trustees Jim Cole, Arthur Pike, Marcia Fair, Building Committee Members Joyce Guide and Regina Binder, Town Advisor, William Ingraham, and Library Director Debra DeJonker-Berry. 

 

Each candidate was asked to follow a set schedule, which included introductions (5 minutes), presentations focusing on structural issues (15 minutes), and questions (40 minutes).  Following the interviews, the candidates were ranked by the Interview Team members thus resulting in a composite score as follows:

 

Perry Dean Rogers/Partners

25 points

Tappe Associates

20 points

Brown Lindquist

18 points

Stephen Hale

  8 points

 

 

It was the consensus of the Interview Team that Perry Dean Rogers/Partners (PDR/P) gave the most thorough presentation and engaged in the most articulate discussion of any of the firms interviewed on May 28.  PDR/P presented the only response that stuck with the Interview questions/issues, without wandering.  It also presented a superior proposal in response to the RFQ issued on May 1 – the most complete, comprehensive, and informative proposal among the eight received.  The Interview Team agreed that the Library Director would check references and speak to the Town Manager about taking the next step.

 

Marcia Fair moved  to recommend the firm of Perry Dean Rogers/Partners for the Library architectural services contingent on favorable references.  Arthur Pike seconded, and the motion passed (3-0-0).

 

Ginny Binder agreed to update the Building Committee on the process.  The meeting adjourned at 4:00 PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

 

 

Arthur Pike,

Library Trustee
