Brian, would you please present vote requests 1

project management services for Watermark Environmental, Inc. and continued design services for the architect TSKP Studio LLC for the projects at the Kenny Elementary School and O'Donnell Elementary School. The third and fourth contracts offer
continued owners project management services for Atlantic Construction Management, Inc. and continued design services from Matt's Collaborative, Inc. for the window and door replacement projects at the Adams Elementary School, Everett Elementary School, and Murphy Elementary School.
Uh before I get into more detail about these contracts, I'd like to um direct you to the presentation. The first slide should be the Kenny uh the Kenny Elementary School. Sorry, next
slide. Uh this is a picture of the Kenny Elementary School in the Kenya Elementary School existing roof. Next slide please. Is a picture of the O'Donnell roof. Uh both the Kenya and Oddonnell schools
have ballasted roofs that present leaks and have reached the end of the useful life. There's constant maintenance and patching needed by the uh Boston public schools facilities team. uh they are both 20 plus over 25 years old and they will be replaced as part of this these
uh MSBA accelerated repair project. Uh the next slide is a picture of the I'm sorry one more is a picture of the Adam school uh windows. This is uh these windows 31 years old. Um most of them are
inoperable. Some of them are screwed shut because of the issues. Others are fogged over. I'll speak more to the Adams School scope of work as it has resulted in a change based upon the cost of this project. Uh, next slide, please.
This is a picture of the windows at the Everett Elementary School. Uh, similar to Adams, they're over 30 years old, reachful life, and present um constant issues that PPS facilities team has to address. Final slide, please.
Uh here is the uh Murphy Elementary School in Dorchester. Uh there are only 59 windows in the entire building, but there are over 15 different sizes of windows. Um
most of them are these half moon shaped and a lot of them have fogged over. Um and those were are scheduled to be replaced as part of this project. This will be the second amendment for the contracts before you today. The
initial vote to bring on the OPMs and architects were approved at the March 2025 PFC meeting and further amended at the December 17th, 2025 PFC meeting. MSBA board of directors approved the
total project budget of the five schools before you today at their December 12th, 2025 meeting in their February 26th, 2026 meetings. At the December 12th MSBA board meeting, uh they voted to approve $9.4 million
for the Kenny and O'Donnell roof projects in window projects at the Everett and Murphy. Of that $9.4 million, the city can expect to receive upwards of $4.6 million in reimbursement on these projects. The Adam School project intended to
replace the windows at the school. During design, the estimate to perform this work was above the 30% assess assessed value of the building, triggering the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board threshold for a full code upgrade.
When this was realized, Boston requested and was granted two additional months to scope an accessibility project with the architect, resulting in a project that will replace all the windows at the Adams School while making it fully accessible for staff and students. Scope of this work will include
introducing an elevator to the building, providing bathrooms on each floor, and create creating accessible entrances into the building. The 2025 ARP program is the first year the MSB will be reimbursing on the cost of design and construction for ADA
upgrades when the 30% threshold is triggered. On February 25th, 2026, the MSBA board voted to approve a $19.9 million window door and access accessibility project at the Adam School.
Of this, the city will see upwards of $10.4 million in reimbursement from the MSBA. The MSBA board vote on December 12th for the Kenny O'Donnell Everett Murphy in the February vote for the for the Adams
start to 90-day period where the city must appropriate balance of funds for the entirety of the project. Funds for the Kenyan O'Donnell, Everett, and Murphy are in hand and have received the required funding to complete the projects through a city council vote
at the end of uh at the end of February. The Adam School appropriation is currently working through the city council process. It was introduced to the city council on March 18th and a hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning, March 26th. We anticipate a
positive vote of the council and have the funding approved at their April 15th meeting. For the contracts associated with the Kenya and Donald, PFD is requesting $413,000 to amend the watermat contract for continued OPM services through
project closeout. For the architect's contract, PFD is requesting $161,220 to amend the TSK KP contract to provide continued design services through project closeout for the contracts associated with the
Adams Everett Murphy. PFD is requesting $1,421,689 to amend the Atlanta contract for continued OPM services through project closeout. This includes $424,000 for the Ever Murphy projects that have been approved by city council, 9900
9997,689 for the OPM services at the Adam School, which is contingent upon city council approval. PFD is also requesting $1,347,25 to amend the Matt's contract to provide continued design services through
project loadout. This includes $325,320 for the Everton Murphy projects that have been been approved by city council and $1,21,885 for the Adam School, which is contingent upon city council approval in midappril.

participating in this vote. Vote number one is being presented by Terresa Stratillaa, development officer with the Grow Boston Division of Mo. This is a request for a tentative developer designation intent to sell to Boston Food Forest Coalition Incorporated for various vacant parcels of land located
on Northwork Street in Dorchester. Teresa, if you please present your vote request. Thank you TT and good morning commissioners. I'm here requesting PFC approval for the tentative developer designation of Boston Food Forest Coalition, Inc. for the parcels
identified in the vote package in the Dorchester section of Boston. MLH conducted a public process that resulted in this vote request. MLH held a meeting in March of 2024 to discuss with community members the preservation of these parcels as open space for
community use and attendee support was strong. During that meeting, community members also expressed interest in a complimentary open space development on a nearby parcel located at 82 Mascot Street on the opposite side of the
commuter rail tracks. The 82 mascot street parcel is owned by the Boston Redevelopment Authority doing business as Boston Planning and Development Agency and hereafter referred to as BPDA. Mo engaged with real estate staff of the
city of Boston planning department which manages BPDA owned land about the future of the 82 mascot street parcel. Mo and the planning department hosted a follow-up community meeting in July of 2024 about the preservation of 82 m
mascot street as open space for community use. Support by the community was strong and community members expressed strong interest in the complimentary development of both sites. Moh and BPDA signed a memorandum of
understanding agreeing to jointly issue a request proof for proposals for the North Street and the Mascot Street parcels. The memorandum of understanding agreed that MO would take the lead on project management, but MO and BPDA would
separately designate and dispose of the sites. A joint MO and BPDA request for proposals was issued on September 15th, 2025 and advertised in the state central register, the Boston Herald, and the
city record. One development team applied to the RFP and was determined to meet the eligibility criteria. Based on community feedback and MO and planning department staff review of the
proposal against the RFP evaluation criteria, we recommend the designation of the BOS of the Boston Food Forest Coalition for the Norfolk Street parcels identified in the vote package. Boston Food Forest Coalition has experience developing food forest parks
and open spaces in Boston and has strong community support for their proposal. The BPDA board designated Boston Food Forest Coalition to develop the Mascot Street Parcel in February of 2026. The acquisition of the Norfolk Street
parcels will enable the Food Forest Coalition to develop two complimentary community open spaces with edible plantings on Norfolk Street and Mascot Street. The vote package includes a comprehensive memo about the project and
this PFC vote request. I've also provided slides related to the vote request which are displayed on the screen. So the first is an aerial map of the parcels. The four parcels highlighted here are the MO managed parcels and on
the opposite side of the commuter rail tracks at the end of the dead end is where the mascot street parcel is located. The next slide >> is the satellite view of the parcels.
The third slide is a street view of the Norfolk Street parcels. And the fourth slide is the preliminary design for the open space which includes a covered stage area for community use,
a storage shed, a pathway and seating areas, and landscaping improvements, including a pollinator garden and new tree plantings. >> In summary, if PFC approves the spoke request, it
will result in the following public benefits. The proposed open space development will improve and permanently preserve this open space. In addition, the city will avoid future costs and liabilities associated with maintaining the parcels and return them
to productive use after more than 27 and as many as 38 years in our inventory. I'm here to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you. >> Thank you. Any questions? >> No, just comment. Great project. I
believe it's across the street from a former MO project that Habitat may have conducted. But great uh really excited to hear about this. >> Great. >> Um Colleen, would you want to call the role? >> Sure. Sorry about that.
>> Uh Chair Craraven, please note you vote for the record. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Mimoy, please note you vote for the record. Uh, Colleen, uh, just not Commissioner, >> I'm sorry. I meant to say right. >> Yes. >> My apologies. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Vote number one is hereby approved. Vote number two is being presented by Antonio Le, senior development officer with the operations division of Mo. This is a request for the reision of the tentative developer designation vote of October 24th, 2018. time extensions to
the tentative developer designation period vote of October 30th, 2019 and conveyance vote of March 11th, 2022 new urban collaborative limited for 16 vacant land parcels located on Marcella Beach Glenn and Thring Streets in Roxbury. Antonia, if you'd please
present vote number two. >> Yes, thank you T and good morning commissioners. I'm here requesting PC approval for the recision of the tentative developer designation of New Urban Collaborative Limited as
well as the extension of the tentative developer designation and the conveyance of the parcels identified in the vote package in the Rockberry section of Boston. PFC voted to approve the tenative developer designation of New Urban Collaborative Limited on October 24th of
2018. The designation and the conveyance was approved on March 11th of 2020. Please see the enclosed project background memo submitted with the prior requests for the full process
development and designation background. New Urban Collaborative Limited had been undertaking continuous pre-development efforts during this period to finalize construction documents, secure commitments from all project lenders, and obtain all necessary approvals to
begin construction. This work advanced to near completion but stalled and did not progress further. Thus, the project did not secure financing. The parcels were never transferred and no city funds were dispersed to the to the developer.
Since 2020, the developer has faced protracted challenges due to rising construction materials and labor costs, challenging site conditions and topography, and insufficient financing, which ultimately made the project budget finance financially infeasible.
Mo and urban new urban collaborative engaged in consistent substantive efforts to move the project towards closing, including holding monthly meetings to discuss the design iterations, budget updates, and project
milestones, performing regular financial analysis during shifts in the construction market, and attempting to resolve legal and physical access issues to the landlocked interior parcels. Despite these exhaustive efforts, both
Mo and New urban Collaborative Limited have acknowledged that the project cannot proceed under the current financial constraints and sight specific limitations not fully anticipated in the original 2018 RFP. But by mutual agreement, both parties
have determined that a formal recision of the 2020 conveyance vote and the developer designation is the most appropriate course of action. The request for a recision of tenative developer designation and conveyance is
a result of this determination. Mo is committed to re-engaging with the community to establish a new vision for the site's highest and best use, ensuring that the next RFP is both viable and aligned with the neighborhood's needs.
As a result, I provided slides related to this vote request which will be displayed on the screen shortly. The first provides a locus map of the Beach Glenn, Twing Street, and Marcelo parcels.
And the second slide shows the site's existing conditions. In summary, if PFC approved the recision request, MO hopes to return to the PFC for the tenative developerative designation of a
new entity to sponsor a new development proposal stemming from the restarted community process. And with that, I would like to thank you and I am here to answer any answer any questions you may have.
>> Great. Any questions? >> Uh, no questions. >> Okay. Um, >> motion to approve. >> Second. And Colleen, can you call the RO? >> Thank you. Chair Craraven, >> yes. >> Commissioner Mimolei,
>> yes. >> Commissioner Wright, >> yes. >> Thank you. Thank you. Vote two is hereby approved. Vote three is being presented by Rihanna Bernal, associate director of asset management, housing compliance, and asset management division of Mo. This is
a request for amendment to the tentative developer designation vote of July 30th, 2025 to extend the tentative designation intent to sell period from 30 months to 36 months to ILYB LLC. This is for vacant land. Locate two unnumbered
parcels on Washington Street in Roxbury. Vanna, if you please present vote number three. >> Thank you, TT. Good morning, commissioners. I'm here requesting PFC approval for a six-month extension of the tenative developer designation for
the nominee of ILYB LLC for the parcel identified in vote package number three in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. As background, an extensive community process began in 2016, including numerous community and evaluation committee meetings as part of the plan Nubian Square planning process in
coordination with the Roxberry Strategic Master Plan Oversight Committee, which I'll call RSMP for the remainder of the presentation. The RFP was advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Mass General Law Chapter 30B, and made available to the public on November 18th, 2019.
The advertisement for the RFP appeared in the Boston Herald on November 18th and 25th, 2019 and in the central register on November 20th, 2019 and in the city record on November 20th and November 25th, 2019.
MO received two responses that met RFP eligibility criteria. A project review committee associated with the RSM POC was established. The review committee consisted of community residents and businesses that work with Mo and the BPDA to evaluate the applications,
sponsor community presentations, evaluate community comments, and ultimately approve the developer recommendation. The review committee determined that ILYBLCT was responsive to the RFP criteria, addressed important local and equity
inclusion values as ILYB LLC is a Roxberry based and minority owned, and will provide the most appropriate and significant development and community benefits to the Roxberry community in the form of dance studio spaces, community cultural spaces, and a public plaza for community use.
The review committee recommended the developer designation of ILYB LLC to the RSM POC who approved the recommendation on December 7th, 2020. ILYB was recommended for approval for tenative developer designation at the
June 15, 2022 PFC meeting after the partial owned by the state was conveyed to MO. The vote package includes a comprehensive memo about the project and PFC vote request. I have also provided four slides related to this vote request
which are displayed on the screen. The first is a map locating the parcel along Mia Cass and Washington Street. The second is an image showing the existing site and building. The third is a site plan showing the
coordinated park design with adjacent parcel 8 >> and the fourth is a future elevation facing the park. following up with you and IB LLC is proposing to rehab and extend the building on the existing foundation in order to create 10 per performing arts
studios, a media mixing room, and approximately 7,000 square ft of an outdoor park. The corridors of the building interior will provide a gallery space for displays depicting the cultural and artistic influences of the Nubian Square neighborhood.
Since PFC approved the extension to the developer designation in July 2025, the project has received a grant for $500,000 from the state's underutilized properties program. It has responded to numerous requests for information from Mass Historic Commission related to
requests from the developer for historic tax credit allocation and they've continued to advance construction documents and worked to incorporate feedback from the Boston landmarks commission. Iowa is still seeking private and other grants to complete the capital stack.
If PFC approves this vote request for an additional 6 months, the extension gives the nominee ILYB LLC enough time to complete the capital stack, secure building permits, and set a clear path to closing. Should the project achieve the financing, it would result in the
following public benefits. add to the cultural and performing arts spaces for small and entrepreneurial artists in Nubian Square by offering studios at an hourly rate. It will provide youth programming in the performing arts and will establish a mentorship environment for the area youth. This concludes my
presentation. I'm here to answer any questions. Thank you. >> Thank you. Any questions? >> Uh, no questions. >> No questions. >> Okay, great. >> Motion to approve the roll call. Thank you, commissioners.
When I call your name, can you please note your vote for the record? Chair Craraven, >> yes. >> Commissioner Mimolei, >> yes. >> Commissioner Wright, >> yes. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Vote number three is hereby approved. Vote number four is being presented by Jamie Smith, senior
environmental compliance manager with the real estate management and sales division of Mo. This is a request for amendment to the tentative developer designation vote of March 26, 2025 to extend the tentative designation intent to sell period from 12 to 18 months for Easy Street LLC. This is for vacant land
located at 4 Adam Street in Pike Park. Jamie, if you please present vote number four. >> Uh thank you TT and good morning commissioner. Uh I'm here to uh request a PFC approval for extension of the tenative developer designation of EasyD Street LLC uh for the parcel identified

of housing with open space and off streetet parking for each unit. Project will remove an isore of an existing deteriorated structure and revitalized an underutilized parcel in the neighborhood. Project will create hundreds of
construction hour generating jobs among the building trades and the sale can also be expected to yield long-term financial benefits to the city. By removing the parcel from the inventory, city will be able to avoid future costs and liabilities associated with

and Justin Young for the parcel identified in the vote package in the West Roxberry neighborhood of Austin. MH conducted a public process that resulted in the tenative designation and this conveyance vote request. Committee notification was uh mailed in June 2025
to inform of MOH's intent to issue an RFP for the parcel. A request for proposal is was September 22nd, 2025 advertised in the Boston Herald central register and record.
One proposal was received in response to the RFP by the October 27th, 2025 deadline and was determined the eligibility criteria. The offer price is for the appraised value. PFC voted to approve tenative developer
designation for Brian Young and Justin Young on December 17th, 2025 and the designation subsequently advertised in the city record on March 2nd and 9th of 2026. The package includes a comprehensive memo about the project and this PFC vote

Brown Peace Institute Corporation for the parcels identified in the vote package and located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. As background, the PFC voted to approve a 24-month tenative developer designation of the Peace Institute on March 15, 2023 and voted to approve a 12-month extension on
March 26th, 2025. Please see the enclosed project memo submitted with the commission vote request for the full process development and designation background. This project will create the new center of healing, teaching, and learning which will be a single commercial building of approximately
20,000 square ft of program space for use by the community as well as clients and staff of the Louiswis D. Brown Peace Institute. These spaces will support the peace institute's work providing healing and support for those impacted by violence as well as peaceuilding within and beyond the four corners neighborhood where this nonprofit has been based for
the past 30 years. The peace institute has made significant progress in the time since the PFC's tenative designation vote. The development team has continued to advance design documents towards a completed set for pricing, permitting, and construction. Mo staff are working with them to assist in design review and to work with the
butters as the site is prepared for conveyance and the start of construction activity. Most notably, the peace institute has launched a major capital campaign to raise funds for the construction of the new building. As of this date, they have shared publicly that 7.6 million has been raised towards their goal. And the Peace Institute
received a $2.5 million uh earmark as part of the state's economic development bond bill and also received a $2.5 million allocation in the 2026 federal budget. The Peace Institute has also continued to work with the community through engagement with the United Neighborhood Association.

is vote number seven. This is also being presented by Adam Goldstein. This is a ref for reissuance of tentative developer designation intent to sell per intent to sell to Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston Incorporated for vacant land located 174 to 176 Wilson Street in Jamaica Plane. The purchase price is
recommended $100. Adam, if you please present vote number seven. >> Thank you. Uh I'm here requesting PFC approval for the tenative uh developer designation of Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston for the parcel identified in the vote package located in the
Jamaica plane neighborhood of Boston. As background, the PFC voted to approve a 14-month tenative developer designation of Habitat for Humanity on August 17th, 2023. Due to Mo staffing changes, the initial designation lapsed in October 2024.
However, the project development team led by Habitat for Humanity has continued to advance pre-development work and significant progress has been made. Most notably, design documents have advanced to a full permit set of construction documents which were submitted to Mo for review earlier this
month. Mo is now requesting a reissuance of a tenative developer designation from the PFC for an additional 12 months. Mo conducted an extensive public process prior to the original TD vote request in 2021 and 2022. MOH held community meetings to announce the intended
development of this site and gather resident input on design and development objectives. A request for proposals was issued in March 2023 which was publicly advertised pursuant to chapter 30B requirements. MO received three responses to the RFP. Two of these met
the eligibility criteria set forth. An internal review of the two eligible proposals took place and was paired with a public meeting on June 7th, 2023 at which community members were able to hear from both applicant teams and ask questions. There was strong community support for the Habitat for Humanity
proposal. As laid out to the PFC in the previous vote, the Habitat for Humanity proposal was the strongest of the two received when evaluated against the development objectives in the RFP. Habitat is a residential development nonprofit that brings years of experience in affordable housing development in Boston, including direct
experience working with Mo to develop affordable housing on city-owned land. Habitat also stated their commitment to prioritize outreach to and hiring of local and M and WBE businesses and subcontractors. This vote, if approved, will enable Habitat for Humanity to continue design,
permitting, and financing work, and Mo can return to PFC after the completion of key tasks for a conveyance vote. I'd like to note that in consultation with the public facility staff, Mo considered whether issuing a new request for proposals would be more beneficial to the community defined objectives for
this site than requesting a new tentative designation vote from PFC. In this case, restarting the disposition process would not serve the neighborhood or this site. The original RFP, which was crafted in collaboration with residents and neighborhood stakeholders, called for the creation of four to six
home ownership units in a building typology that fits into the current surrounding context of Boilston Street. This is exactly what Habitat for Humanity proposes to build, and a project of this scale is very similar to the work that they have a strong track record of completing. Issuing a new RFP
rather than reissuing the tenative developer designation to Habitat would delay the project timeline further and would not guarantee a better proposal given that Habitat's proposal is a very strong fit for the stated objectives of the RFP. The vote package includes a comprehensive memo about the project and
the PFC vote request. I've also provided three slides related to this vote request which are displayed on the screen. The first is a site map. The second is a site photo and the third is a a rendering of the
proposed development. In summary, if PFC approves the vote request, it will result in the following public benefits. Four new affordable housing units, all of which will be deed restricted home ownership and remain affordable for 50 years. The project will revitalize a currently vacant
parcel of city-owned land and introduce contextually appropriate housing, strengthening the built environment on the street. The project is also expected to create uh 6,338 construction hours, which will generate jobs in the building trades. Thank you, and I am here to answer any questions
you may have. >> Thank you, Adam. Any questions? >> Uh, no questions. >> No questions. >> Okay, great. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. Okay, Colleen Chia Craraven, please cast your vote. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Mimolei,
>> yes. >> Commissioner Wright, >> yes. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Vote number seven is by approved. This concludes the agenda for MO for today's meeting. Is there a motion to adjourn this portion of the meeting? >> Motion to adjourn. >> Second. Second. Meeting adjourned this portion
of the meeting. >> Thank you. There will be
