roll call for each commissioner's vote for the record. For number one, this is being presented by Antonio H, senior housing development officer with the neighborhood housing development division of MO. This is a request for acceptance of a deed from
BPCR Angel's Spencer LLC for six parcels located on Lauren and Angel Street in Madapan. Antonio, if you would please present vote number one. Yes, thank you and good morning commissioners.
I'm here to requesting PFC approval for the acceptance of deed from the PCR Angel Spencer LLC for six vacant land parcels of 12 Lauren, 14 Lauren, 22, 28,
37, and 39 Angel Street in the Madapan neighborhood of Boston. As background, PC approved the conveyance of these parcels on June 25th, 2021 as part of a package of 11 vacant parcels for the development of home ownership housing as
part of this city of Boston's neighborhood homes initiative. EPCR Angel Spencer LLC, a singlepurpose entity, was later created as the ownership entity of the project with the approval of MO. A comprehensive detail
of this project along with the associated PFC request are included in the enclosed memo. Following the conveyance, the construction of a series of one and two family homes began in phases. Four units
in total were created and have been sold. However, due to unforeseen delays and cost increases incurred by the development team, including direct construction cost, soil remediation costs, costs associated with CO 19 mitigation and safety and soft costs.
Staff at the mayor's office of housing determined that the construction on the six parcels identified above was no longer financially feasible. The development team concurred with this assessment and proposed to return the parcels back to the city of Boston.
The request for approval of the acceptance of deed is a result of this determination and would enable MO to review our options, reestablish development objectives for the parcels and restart a new property disposition
process. Uh I have provided a slide rel related to this vote request which will soon be displayed on the screen. And this is showing the site map of the
six parcels uh out of the package which will be returning to MOH and the city. In conclusion, this action will allow us to avoid foreclosing on our mortgage any
additional legal auction and advertising fees. Also, MOH uh also decided that not exercising its reverber also would lead to further court action as well. So, uh, we are seeking your
approval and I welcome any opportunity, uh, to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Uh, no questions but more of a comment. Uh, you let me commend the staff. I think this is a great solution uh, to a problem and so forth. Uh and uh it's
great to when something isn't working out and again there's a lot of reasons why whether it be COVID financing so forth to get the property back and to then try to re get it out is the best way to do this so I commend staff on this
commission right no real comments just I I guess more of a question Antonio would this development team um I mean just based on this vote will they be in relative standing with the city. I'm just trying to see if there's an
opportunity for them to come back. I'm not too sure um just the details, but if um this particular team would have an opportunity in in the future um to respond to uh to an opportunity or uh be able to answer some technical assistance that would allow for them to uh to I
mean I there's a lot of unforeseen there and I know we couldn't manage, you know, all of that, but just little clarity there. Yeah, and I appreciate that question, Commissioner. Um, I currently don't have an answer for you at the moment, but I know we do have technical assistance
options available and we will certainly work with them to to uh be more responsive to future RFS um if they do decide to apply. I know you guys work hard on this, so please totally understand.
There are no further uh questions. Is there a motion to take a vote via roll call? Motion to take a vote via roll call. Second. All in favor? Commissioner Mamoli? Yes. Commissioner Wright? Yes.
Thank you. Thank you. Vote number one is hereby for the final vote on Mo's agenda today. This is vote number two. This presented by Tiar Sachabel, housing development officer with the neighborhood housing development division of MO. This is a
request for amendment to the tentative developer designation vote of August 28, 2024 to extend the tentative designation intent to sell period from 16 to 72 months to the people's academy incorporated. This is for vacant land located on Warren Quincy and Glennurn Street in Roxbury. Tier, if you please
present vote number two, please. Uh, thank you. Uh, good morning, commissioners. I'm here requesting POC approval for a 12-month extension of the tenative developer designation of the People's Academy for three parcels located at 436 Warren Street, 79 Quincy
Street, and 20 to 22 Glenour Street in a neighborhood of Roxberry and is outlined in the vote package. As background, uh, MHS has conducted a public process regarding disposition of these parcels, including a community meeting that was held um in April 2019 to discuss
development of parcels. Uh, a request for proposals was issued in February 2020 and advertised pursuant to chapter 30B laws. The RFP was opened on May 22nd, 2020. There were four proposals and one written request submitted. After
an initial review, two applicants to the People's Up Academy in uh properties were invited to present their plans uh to of the development, two neighborhood residents in a virtual community meeting on June 25th, 2020. Based on community feedback and MO review of all eligible
applications against the RFP evaluation criteria, MO recommended the attendant developer designation of people's academy at the September 16th, 2020 PFC meeting. PSC approved the tender developed designation of people's academy on September 16, 2020 for a 20month sorry a
24-month period for an extension for a 12-month period on September 14th, 2022 and another extension for a 12-month period on September 2023 and additional 12 months extension on August 28th, 2024. The vote package includes a
comprehensive memo about the project and the PFC vote request. Since the last PSC vote, the people's county has accomplished bringing on a development partner to help them advance their development plan. MOH is requesting a 12-month extension
uh in order for the new partnership to continue to implement a fundraising initiative to raise sufficient funds for the project. Identify and apply for funding from local and regional and national sources to support the project. continue um advancing the designs
uh for uh special service uh department and other permitting agencies and finalized financing commitments. I have provided some slides related to this vote request which are displayed on the screen. Uh the first slide uh provides a locus map of the three parcels. The second
slide displays existing conditions from the Warren Street side. The third slide displays existing conditions from the Quinsey Street side. And the fourth slide is a rendering of the development uh building. And the final slide is an
aerrow view of the proposed building. In closing, if PMC approves the vote request, the project will create the following public benefits. It would develop a mixeduse building um consisting of a little over 14,000 ft² of institutional space for the people's
academy pre-apprentice training program, residential units for the students of the pre-apprentice program, and approximately 2,000 square ft of leaseful commercial space. Thank you. And I'm here to answer any questions you may have.
Uh first comment is again this is now going for six years. Um just like the previous vote uh I understand issues of COVID and other issues delaying and so forth and appreciate that they have a new development partner on here. U but
uh and I would support this extending this for another year. uh but would hope to see uh a year from now some more concrete action uh on this development because it uh has been quite a while.
Commissioner echo that as well commissioner I appreciate the work that the H team has put into this project over the years as well. So commend you on that, but really would like to see this come to a close.

for the 26 Court Street full renovation project. Public facilities department is managing design and construction of the project which is located at 26 Court Street, downtown Boston. Cambridge 7 Associates Incorporated uh was retained to provide design and
construction administration services for the project which included full interior and exterior renovations of 26 Court Street including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, civil and architectural design and construction administration services.
On February 10th, 2021, the Public Facilities Commission approved the award of design and construction administration services for the project. The original contract included uh 4,632871 [Music] for basic services and $2,242,590
for additional services for a contract total of $6,875,461. The original contract was for 178 weeks from June 4th, 2021 to November 1st, 2024. On September 20th, 2023, public facilities commission approved amendment

and the cumulative contract amount 9,865,83924. Public facilities department is seeking authorization to expend up to the amount of additional services requested but is reserving a right to execute an amendment uh for less.
in regards to the um the portion of design services uh related to the uh extended uh period of $897,884. Um that's kind of divided up into um
the there's the initial um three-month period for a portion of this uh five up to $593,6312 and additional for the initial 3-month period and remaining set aside for an additional 3 months. Similarly, PFD is
seeking an extension of the contract for a maximum duration of up to 6 months from August 1st, 2025 to January 28, 2026, reserving the right to extend for an additional 3 months with the remaining 3-month period as needed. This will allow PFD to operate expediently on the
remaining items to close the project near uh we can turn to the PowerPoint slides. Okay. Um, here we have a rendering of uh 26 Court Street um with the perspective looking down towards the uh the old
state house. All right, next slide please. Uh this is a rendering of the uh north plaza. This rendering was uh created digitally. The the first rendering was a hand rendering. Uh here we can see the um updated plaza for 26 Court Street. We
have the um city branding out in front with City of Boston, 26 Court Street. Uh we have a new accessible um ramp coming in on either side behind the uh the planters. And then we have some uh bike racks out front and some flag poles.
All right. Next, please. As a refresher, um the uh tenency of the building with public facilities department and then followed by Mo and then uh we have uh several additional office tenants and then we have some shared office floors and then on the
first floor we have our lobby space. We have some constituent interaction spaces. We have a big counter and we have a public meeting room. And then at uh below grade we have uh some various storage and support spaces and a a bike
room. Uh, next please. All right. On the left we have a uh workstation and on the right we have a private office. Uh, final slide please. Uh, this is a rendering hand rendering
of the uh of the lobby. Uh, so to the right you can see the uh the windows going out towards the uh the plaza. You could see the uh some historic uh doors that will be uh put back and hung there. Uh we'll have an entrance vestibule that
you can see in the center behind that panel of wood. Uh we've opened up the columns so that they're uh thinner. To the left we have the reception desk. Uh we have a kind of a a light fixture right above the the reception desk
there. Um, and then when folks enter the building, uh, the public will be heading, uh, there beyond the reception desk to go around through security. Uh, employees will be able to go kind of behind the rendering here and go on the other side to go through the, um, the turn style, similar to what's set up at
city hall. And there'll be, uh, places for, um, public seating and interaction um, on either side of the the entry bus to go there. Okay. Thank you. All right. Um now the uh the fee negotiation with Cambridge 7 uh is in accordance with the
project's publicly advertised RFQ guidelines for the design fee calculation. Uh public facilities at Cambridge 7 negotiated the additional design services not to exceed 1,186,12624 with the completion of the remaining work to be done in the final u made
honor before January 28th 2026. In conclusion, I'm seeking public facility commission's approval to amend professional and design construction administration services contract with Cambridge 7 Associates for the reasons presented which are also noted in the project background memorandum submitted with this vote. Welcome the opportunity
to answer any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Uh, one question I maybe I miss heard you. We're voting only for the extension of to January 28, 2026. I thought I heard you say reserving the right for
another 3 months. Yeah, I I guess to clarify um what we're looking to do is that we're we're requesting up to this given dollar amount and up to this given duration of 6 months. However, uh PFD would like to
have the ability to execute for a a lower dollar amount and for a uh a shorter period and then um if needed to have additional time with uh with the designer, then we would go up to this uh period through the end of January 2026
and also up to the uh the full dollar amount requested under the vote. We wanted to avoid having to come back for a second vote. No, shortening time, shortening money is great. I was just more concerned about extending the time. I thought I heard you say you would extend it for six another 3 months. No, just that we might do it in
three-month blocks. Two three month blocks. That's fine. Um, no questions, Commissioner. Yeah. Thank you for the clarification, Greg. Thank you. No questions. No comments. Motion to approve. Second. All in favor? I
do. We need to take I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is there is there a motion to uh take a vote via roll call? Uh if so, uh Colleen Dailyaly will conduct the roll call for the motion to approve. Second. Thank you. When I call your name, uh please know your vote for the record.
Commissioner Mamole, yes. Commissioner Wright, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Vote number one is hereby approved. Vote numbers two and three are being presented by GE de Aso, senior project manager for PFD. I'd like to call your
attention, commissioners, as these uh votes two and three are both requests to amend consulting contracts for the construction of of the William E. Carter School located at 396 Northampton Street, South End, managed by PFD. As a result, there's a request to the commission to allow the project manager
to present votes two and three jointly. At the conclusion of the project manager's presentation, I will know a separate roll call for the vote thereafter. Would that be agreeable to the commission? Yes. Thank you. Vote number two is a request for amendment to the vote of May 22nd, 2024.
This is the first vote um that I will note for the record is regarding a contract with Lero program and construction management PEC to provide owner project manager services for the construction and final completion phase services associated with the William E. Carter School project. This is a request
for a time extension to the contract's expiration date through October 23rd, 2026 and an increase of $368 um and $368,500 to the contract amount. Vote number three is a request for
amendment to the vote of May 2020 May 20 uh 22 2024 regarding contract with Perkins and Will Architects Incorporated to provide design services associated with the William E. Carter School project to provide um I'm sorry for the re for
an increase of 331,395 to the contract amount if you please present your vote request. Good morning commissioners. I'm to request an amendment to both the owners project manager services contract with Lero program construction management
PEPC and the professional design construction administration services contract with Perkins and Will for the new William E Carter School. Uh as mentioned the uh public facilities department is managing design and construction of the project located at
396 Northampton Street in the south end. The new 86,000q ft state-of-the-art building is built on the existing site which replaced a building that was not designed to support the needs of the Carter School students who present a wide range of complex health needs.
The PFD's vote number two uh owner project manager firm Lero program and construction management PEPC was retained to provide uh owner project manager services for the project. The original vote first came before the PFC commission for the feasibility study
phase through schematic design in February uh 12th of 2020. The first vote then followed uh before the commission uh in August 18th, 2021 for increasing services through construction
um following by a second vote approval for extended services in May 22nd of 2024. So before you today is the third amendment request for LER program uh and construction management PEPC. The contract is being amended and increase
in the amount of $368,500 $38,000 of which is base fee and60 uh,500 for additional services. This includes uh not to exceed new
amount of uh $3,650,513. The contract expiration date is also being extended from June 12th, 2026 to October 23rd, 2026 for the continuation of OPM services due to the combination of construction coordination, required modifications, and third party utility
delays which extended the overall construction schedule. included in Lero's amendment uh fee proposal. There are two subconultants that require additional monies for added scopes of work. Um apologies, one subconsultant, this is for Briggs
Engineering and testing uh a third party testing agency uh on the project related to the need for construction inspections and materials testing services. Um this includes the following disciplines of uh curtain wall and skylight water testing,
uh steel strength testing, concrete placement and reinforcing steel, uh fire stopping testing, soil compaction testing, asphalt placement and compaction as well as masonry structural and product sampling. Public facilities department. Uh vote
number three is for the uh design firm of Perkins and will which was retained to provide services and construction admission provide design and construction administration services for the new charter school project. The original vote came before the public facilities commission for the
feasibility study phase through schematic design in February 12th, 2020. The first vote was approved uh and presented in July 19th, 2023 for design and development through construction, followed by a second vote approval in
August 18th, 2021 for extended services as well as a third vote approval for extended services in May 22nd of 2024. So before you today is the fourth amendment request for Perkins Zumo uh to amend the exe executed design contract
services um in the amount of $331,395, [Music] $321,195 of which is base fee and $10,200 in additional services. And this includes the not the new not to
exceed amount of 9,268,199. [Music] Uh similar to the first uh reason for extensions um it's due to uh a combination of construction coordination
uh required modifications and third party utility delays which cause for the extension and continued uh construction administration services included in Perkins and Wilsby fee proposal. There are two subconultants that require additional monies for added
scopes of work due to the extensions. The first of which is Bala Engineering, the mechanical and electrical engineering subconsultant and IMAG engineering, the plumbing and fire protection engineering subconultant on the project. Both of which uh increases are related to additional
on-site support coordination and reviews for added scopes of work in their respective fields. If I may direct your attention to the PowerPoint slides. Vote number two again is for the owners project manager services with Lero and
and boat three is for Perkins wall. So, as you can see here, just for a refresher on the location, the project site for the uh new Carter School building is in the same original location. Um with the Mass A T- Stop
directly behind the school. Um it is straddled by Northampton Street and Camden Street and located on the southwest corridor. Next slide, please. Here's an exterior rendering rendering of the
of the school. Um the new building. Next slide, please. And uh taken roughly a month and a half ago or about a month ago. This is the um progress photo of the actual building in
place um being concluded in time for school opening of next week. Next slide please. So as previously referenced uh third party utility uh delays and
extensions were related to electric utility equipment delivery and installs. Shown in the photo here for reference are the uh transformers and switches for uh the new William William E. Carter school building.
Next slide please. uh additional coordination and um unforeseen conditions which led to modifications were directly related to a shading system located on the third floor uh roof playground area for the for the new
Carter school building. Um shown here are examples of additional steel supports that are required um all in coordination to account for um uh structural wind loads that were increased due to the close proximity to
the MVTA and the Amtrak railway lines directly behind the school. Um the distance between the two is roughly 10 ft. And so extra consideration and care was given to uh make sure that all elements on the rooftop area including
this extended shading system was properly accommodated for this location. Um, so as you can see here, that required some additional coordination and work in the ceilings below on the right side photo. And then above the uh
slab on the rooftop playground area um extended supports uh for the bases of the poles. In the next slide here, we could go on to the next one. We'll see. So these posts sit on that
additional support that was shown in the previous slide. Um on the left is a progress photo. It shows the um additional steel support along the bottom with the post sitting directly on it. On the right side is the current
condition and the final uh design of the shading system in place uh covering playground equipment which is uh particularly critical for the Carter school uh population. um in terms of regulating uh temperature um for the
students at the playground areas. Next photo please. And this is the shading system in its entirety covering uh swing sets and various musical playground equipment. Um crucial outdoor spaces for car school
programming. And I believe that concludes the slides. In conclusion, I'm seeking the public facilities commission's approval to amend the owners project manage services contract with Lero program construction management PCP as well as to amend the
professional design and construction administration services contract for Perkins and Wool for the reasons prevented presented which are also noted in the project background memorandum submitted in the voters. request. I welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for
your time and your consideration. Uh no questions right? No, just really excited about this project. Um really look forward to uh to the day of doors open. So uh no questions comments. Thank you. Is there a motion to take a
