the other um we'll have the other two minutes um on the next agenda and we'll take care of um those then so we have a couple of things to do this evening um the first is I wanted to provide an update on the on phase one of the msba
process C so as you know we've been in the eligibility phase um we submitted all of our deliverables back in um July and over the course of the rest of the summer and into the fall we were working with the msba to look at and certify our
enrollment totals um those totals um you know that sort of sets stage for how big of a high school we're planning for and um there was you know some back and forth between us and uh the msba folks
um who did their own enrollment study and then really to sort of get to know Medford and some of our plans around um things like housing growth and student um you know student growth and what we were seeing so that went so we had to
sort of go back and forth with them um and we finished that process in um you know sometime we finished our end of that process in August um the msba had work to do on their end so they did um
they did their work and then they notified Us in December that um they forwarded us a an agreement to sign around the enrollment so just by way of some information we have about 1,200 students right now and that's been pretty
consistent um for high school um for the high school side we requested um a an enrollment of 1,500 for high school and we settled on
1395 um which is to um almost 200 students more than the our current 1200 um so that was a lot of grow a lot of growth in progress for us which I think sets us up well for the um you know the the future and the kinds of things that
we're expecting to see here in Medford both with um attracting students who may be selecting other high schools um in part because they go to the building and they see it and they have questions about whether that's the place they want to be um as well as um providing for um
expanded um families moving into Medford um who will want to use the who will want to use the um uh the high school as a a place to send their children so we have some room to grow which is great and amazing um
and um we signed that we signed those agreements um we have signed um um Dr Cushing maybe we could disable the chat as well yep will now as
well um thank you and um we are uh we are done we are done with the um msba module one work um on Wednesday uh the board of the msba will hear a
recommendation from their staff to move us on to um what they call phase two or module two which is where we get to start doing the fun things like bringing on the professionals that will help us through this process um and we're really
excited about that so um that meeting will happen um Wednesday morning and then um there will be meetings to onboard us to mba's expectations of the process um shortly thereafter um our delegation
has um sent the msba a letter of support on our behalf so that was signed by um Senator Jaylen Representatives denado Barber and um garble so the msba is in receipt of that letter of recommendation and we're
just really excited to be able to do this like next thing um we're so excited in fact that we have already started doing the next thing so one of the meetings that we had earlier this month um was of the OPM selection committee um
who uh tackled building um the requests for services which is the very first document in the next phase of the process um we will review that tonight with a goal to um make any amendments that this committee
sees fit and um get ready to send to the msba tomorrow and we're going to send that to them tomorrow so that um we can be in the queue for their review which takes about two weeks and then we can um move forward on an aggressive timeline
which will um have us um interviewing and bringing in um a an owner's project manager here before the end of June so um it's a it's a quick time it's a quick tight timeline I wish it could be even faster than that because getting the
team on board is incredibly important and that's you know that's when the real work can begin so um the Educators have sort of done their work um so far with setting the stage around what kind of educational opportunities we're trying
to provide um and um now we get to the the sort of mey questions that everyone in the community has which is which is really exciting um so that's a quick update on phase one um are there any questions okay if you think of anything just um
let me know and we will um we will move on from there so in phase two our next agenda item is um is uh our plans for phase two um I covered some of that already but the the
goal is for us to be um moving quickly through this process so that we can onboard the team and really get um to the meat of the feasibility study um oh Emily did you have a question sorry yes um I I just wanted to ask really quickly if you could uh tell
me about the uh estimated number for how so I was reading through and the estimates for how many students would be housed in the building um what what the timeline is for that like how um what the stretch of time was that was
anticipated for the building to be used yeah they um that's a great question so they they did a study that looked out I want to say it was about 15 years and one of the things that we went back and forth with them about um was exactly
that that range so um our enrollment projections within MPS show that we were mostly in agreement um in the first 10 to 15 years of the building's life um or
from now but that um a you know as we looked out past 15 years that's where we saw the growth that was more significant so that was part of the conversation that we had particularly around some of the housing um developments that are
coming down the pike and um not just like the planned projects and the permitted projects which they ask about explicitly but also some of the bigger ideas and and places where we are anticipating there could be um
substantial transformative projects um in the city like the air rights over Wellington um so those are the kinds of things that we had to go through with them to um sort of describe and look at and so
we shared our projections with them and our projections sort of carry us much further into into time than that that original 15E span so we did um make some significant progress there so I do believe that um based on everything that
we were able to use as the basis um we we will not be out of space the minute we start um or even you know in the first couple decades um which is great news any other questions about
that okay um so in phase two um there's a couple of things so so I've been doing a lot of reading and the OPM selection committee has been um doing a lot of reading as well about what phase two entails and um it entails um you know
bringing on the owner's project manager um msba has a very prescriptive process for that so I've been reading about that process um the very first step is that we have to draft an RFS we'll look at that just a few minutes and then um they will have to review that um it takes
them a couple of weeks to review it and then um they'll give us the green light to go ahead and post it it has to be posted we have to do a site visit um we will get responses back and um uh and then you know bring the list down to a
short list interview candidates and make a selection once we make a selection um we negotiate the price um at that point that's not part of the RFS process it happens afterwards um which was a
surprise to me that's most of the rfps that I work on in my world they're sort of two things happen at the same time um but this process is a little bit different and um once we have made our selection and we have done those negotiations we then have to bring our
selected OPM to a review panel um with MS ba and they have to give us the green light for that selection so um there is a that those review panel meetings happen on a monthly basis um and we are targeting the June meeting um to be all
buttoned up and ready to go um to get their their approval so we can move forward um once the OPM is on board um then we work to bring on the designer um which is the architect um so that we can get ready to start the feasibility study
so that's that's sort of the trajectory of this next phase is OPM designer and then we get to we actually get to the the fun stuff um but I'm looking forward to having the OPM on on board because they will help manage some of the things that we are doing here as a committee
some of the Outreach and that kind of thing so um we we will look forward to that any questions about Phase 2 process okay um I am going to share my screen if I am
allowed to do that Dr King you're are good to go thank you um and I am going to bring up this RFS template um I think the a couple things to know about this template is must use this template this is the this is part
of the process and the requirement um from msba and they've done a pretty nice job of being able to describe like what it is that they're asking for communities to provide input
to a little bit hard to look at this document because it is in track change mode so if that makes you a little bit crazy I apologize um that is a that is also a requirement of msba so that they can quickly and easily find the changes that
we've made so here is our RFS there's a whole bunch of leading information here um and then we get to the actual the actual meet so as you can see everything um that is in bold and in a talic that's where they're asking us to provide input
um and uh everything that's struck out and filled in with comments um and track changes that were the result of the work that the OPM selection subcommittee did so this introduction um is obviously
very boiler plate we're saying we're this is Medford this is Medford High School that kind of thing um so those changes have been made and then there is um the other thing that we um are asked to talk about here in this um introduction oops
sorry um are sort of what we think the total cost of the project could be and this is an estimate and it's I think an effort to give opms an understanding of how big do we think the scope of this
could be um and so the OPM selection committee um identified 200 million to 600 million as a very wide range um it's a wide range because there's a lot of unknown right now it's also a very wide range because
any number of solutions could be viable for us and we don't know yet which of those Solutions um from building something completely new to um substantially renovating what we have we don't yet know how that will shake out
and that's what the feasibility study is for so this is what we came up with and to me it's just a signal for those f FKS who are watching that we understand that there could be any number of solutions here and um we are wanting and
interested and exploring them all um the background um is the next section and um I will leave this up just for you to read it and I will happily read it out loud um to provide a little bit of
information about the background of this project um the City of Medford located in the Great Greater Boston area as a dynamic and growing community that plac a strong emphasis on educational Excellence the district is committed to providing an inclusive and Innovative learning environment with a focus on
preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world the Medford High School established in the mid 20th century has served as the Cornerstone of the city community's financial infrastructure however over time the building has become increasingly outdated and no longer meets the evolving needs of students Educators or
the broader Community the facilities aging systems Li mited space and lack of modern learning environments have prompted the city to pursue significant Renovations and improvements to high school campus the medord comprehensive School building committee is comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders
included including elected officials City officials School District representatives and community members with a variety of backgrounds the committee's primary mission is to oversee the planning and execution of the Medford High School project ensuring that it meets academic social and safety needs of students the committee has
broad support to also pursue expansion of its portfolio of chapter 74 programs its Early Childhood programs and to collocate the current Curtis TS program to increase access to student activities for students at the Curtis TS the district's grade
configuration uh includes elementary schools K to5 middle schools 6 to 8 and the high school 9 to2 the existing high school facility now serves approximately 1,200 students and is expected to see future growth the Medford High School campus also houses athletic facilities fin and Performing Art spaces and
administrative offices that serve the school community and the community at large the district is also pursuing consolidation of our early childhood programming into a single location to alleviate space concerns at our four elementary schools as part of an ongoing effort um to upgrade the districts infrastructure the me Public Schools
submitted a statement of interest to the msba highlighting the need for a comprehensive solution to address the building shortcomings the accepted SOI serves as a reference for the current project and outlines the key areas of concern such as structural Integrity accessibility Energy Efficiency and
Technology integration the project aim is to not only enhance the learning environment for students but also to ensure that the school can serve the community for generations to come this request for services seeks to engage a qualified owner project manager who can contribute to the success of this
transformative project providing expertise in design construction and project management the goal is to create state-of-the-art educational facility that Fosters creativity collaboration and academic excellence and do the project with substantial Community input from the community at large and
specifically from the students and staff who will work learn and thrive in the new building um questions or comments about anything that you've seen so far sounds
good okay we'll move on um the project description objectives and scope of service um have some sort of small things um that uh we had to fill in and then um
we were asked to provide some specific information regarding the identified School including but not limited to total square footage site information age of the building historical components of the building and our site if any building conditions and problems current grade structure enrollment and msba agreed P enrollment so in this
section um we've added some information um to answer that request um which says the Medford High School and Medford Vocational Technical High School complex was constructed during the late 60s and opened in the fall of 1970 from its opening in
20 uh until 2017 it housed two distinct schools Medford High School and Medford Vocational Technical High School in 2017 the Medford school committee voted to merge the two schools into one Comprehensive High School but despite the four- looking vision aimed at establishing one Flagship school to serve as the epicenter of public
education for The Med Community the facility is designed for delivery of instruction in a bygone era namely the early 70s the challenges yielded by its Antiquated design have been exacerbated with increasing severity by infrastructure that ranges from deteriorating to inoperable MPS
envisions Medford High School as a comprehensive high school with a broad array of academic programs and a host of vocational programs sanctioned under chapter 74 the 55-year-old in facility housing MHS is an obstacle to Optimal learning conditions Ed High School currently serves a combined 1210
students in grades 9 to 12 we also support students in Project transition aged 18 to 22 over 50% of our high school students are CTE students Additionally the Medford uh pre- program um that includes 100 students and a daycare for
children's ages 2 months to 5 years has an enrollment of 74 students together the total enrollment of students um at MHS is 84 so we should fix that number I will fix that um The District's agreed upon
enrollment for the projection for a new medord high school is thir 1695 of this figure 1395 are 9 to 12 high school students 200 are preas students and 100 are students in the district daycare program
uh questions about that section okay um project objectives under um consideration by the owner so this um this section actually was a place where we had a lot of discussion in our subcommittee meeting around like what
are the things that we want to call out um we so we've made this list um I also in my um work to sort of tighten up a few things um did take a peek at a couple of other rfs's from other communities so this list is very much open
for um suggestion and questions um if we if there's anything else we want to add that helps people understand sort of what we're trying to do um so we talk about the Northeast collaborative for high performance schools Andor the US green building council's lead for
schools rating system qualification and Analysis of potential to be a Net Zero Energy building um life cycled costs of operational of operating a school as it relates to Future operational budgets um we are interested in a CM at risk
delivery method potentially um we have identified potential other sites so there's a a vetting process that our OPM is going to need to be aware of um site adjustments required to increase the number of egresses from the property if a new Pro if a new project remains in
the current place so as you know there's one way in and one way out of Medford High and um that is a significant sort of bottleneck as we flow people in and out of the building so we would want to be looking at that um update uh the surveying existing
condition information of buildings on Medford High site including any Hazard hazardous materials so there's you know any number of things that could happen on the um on the campus that they have to be aware of provide design alternatives for renovation addition renovation and new construction options
for the high school to meet the educational specification of the school building committee and the msba provide a schedule um construction cost estimate operating cost estimate and life cycle sustainability analysis for each option um constraints of the
district um it's assume that school will be in session on this site for the duration of the project so phase construction and possible use swing space may be required um and then under that bullet I think the other the other things that we've talked a lot about is like we we will have some extra work to
do um from a planning perspective um to ensure learning continuity for all students but particularly for our vocational programs um we may need to purchase um modular something to support this
project depending on what happens um and we know that that's a thing that we might need to consider um we might need to provide and maintain a sec you know we will need to provide and maintain a secure and positive educational environment during construction um and then also sort of seeking somebody that has some
experience with phase construction projects so um that is sort of the list of things that um the OPM selection committee came up with if there are any other thoughts or suggestions here I'm
happy to take them alongside lead there's another or a similar certification that's called um well certification W that is a more kind of holistic look at um the health and sustainability of
the project that takes like the user into account and not just like the sustainability of the building um so I think that's something to consider as well w mariss yes okay perfect I added
that I put a minor edit in the chat just to button up the CM at risk delivery me method bullet okay updating um evaluation of CM at risk delivery method including a final recommendation thank you philli that's
great um I'll put a note in there um just about the the not say life cycle sustainability I just lost the exact language but um like life cycle analysis versus life life cycle cost analysis are two different things and I'm G make sure
we are stating the one that we want so I'm just going to put something in the chat about that okay great thank you Libby sure and then in the the site adjustments required to increase the number of egresses from the property just to from
the property to to the public roads or something just something minor like that okay thank you vetting potential alternative alternate sites just I'd finish that and just say like for construction of new high school facility just to tell them what the
alternative sit's for okay thank you any other questions there okay um so the next section um that requires our attention is the evaluation criteria
so in this section um we had a lot of discussion about this as well and you can see that a lot of this does come from um you know come from mba's template um the text in green was added
the other thing that we talked a lot about was the point scale and this will be used by the OPM selection committee to um rate and evaluate all the bids that we receive um and sort of the the calculus of how
we put this together was to to award um standard sort of thresholds of points for different things that range from like we need to have this but it's very likely everyone's going to have this skill to um the the more customized
things at higher number of points so um if you look at this what you'll see is some 10-point option some 10-point items um to me those are things that feel very uh like you know sort of table staky right like an OPM who is doing this work
all the time is more than likely going to have those things um the 20 point scale sort of steps up a little bit where now there is some variability and uh discretion in terms of how those things might get
delivered um 30 points uh does talk a little bit more about um you know their Capa their overall capacity to do these kinds of projects and then um you know sort of some bigger Point values around
Key Personnel who will work with us at 40 points as well as um uh 50 points for um cast performance and I stole this from Arlington which you can see so I'll fix
that um St Medford um so the selection committee felt like this sort of Point allocation worked um but I would be very curious if there's anyone in the room who has other thoughts or suggestions
about um about that because now is the time to sort of set that methodology in place question can you add a you know minor points like five or 10 or or anything like that for cost
evaluation um no so um what we have learned through this process so far is that there is no cost response that comes with bids so this is a process where we evaluate wa it's a value based
contract um and once you select somebody then you move into a phase where you negotiate with them and you talk about price having said that part of the documents that will be delivered um with this are all of the public exhibits um
with msba and it's well on record that we have a certain amount of money set aside for the feasibility study um which we had to break down to say this much is for the OPM this much is for the designer and this much is for incidental
so all of that will be well known to people in terms of what our our scope and budget is but my understanding is that um all of that price conversation comes after you make your selection um first which is a little bit unusual but
that's how this process works I have a question on a section just slightly above if you don't mind back up a little above the durations for the feasibility phase and stuff there's a there's a sentence that says the work is divided into the yeah the work is
divided into the project phases as list in attachment a of this contract I clicked on attachment a in the PDF I didn't see any work any project phases in in that attachment so I just don't know if I missed it or if handful of yeah you you
didn't miss it it's not there um there are a handful of other attachments that need to come together with this that are provided by msba um that are not here right now but they we will have to provide those as well any other questions about the evaluation
points and methodology I know it's a lot of like meat to take in the next section does talk about a short list and Philip to your question about cost this is where I thought that
the cost conversation would happen is once you get to the short list and you're evaluating the proposals and even then that's not what happens in this process so um basically once we get down to the the short list of candidates and we invite them in for finalist
interviews um the scale there is the quality of the reference checks um for 30 points and 70 points for the quality of the finals presentation and then you have to make a selection before you get into that cost discussion so that has been edited and
updated um based on some of the work the team has done um since our meeting to get clarification on that um much of this is um boiler plate um and um the next uh the next component
um of the of what is here is the list of who um who is on the committee so we have to name those folks um and talk a little bit about some of the details of what we plan to do um in terms of um how
the short list will be done so we're planning for two hour interviews um and then how how we will actually negotiate um the the price and so I actually um did steal from Arlington um from Arlington's in terms
of how we will do this um but essentially um the chair of the uh Review Committee the CFO of MPS the superintendent and the budget director work together to negotiate a fee um with the first ranked um
respondent so um all the rest of this came from Arlington um there RFS went through the same process so I um I felt good about sort of pulling all of that in um
and um then uh the next thing that is um outlined here is a timeline so this timeline um does assume that it will take the msba two weeks from Wednesday
essentially um to do their review and it takes us about a week to get things posted um uh from a procurement perspective so I've given us a week of buffer um and then uh have sort of cascaded from there through um the
series of activities and tried to plan um you'll see there's like sort of a gap right in here and um that Gap is um certainly um due to April vacation um knowing that that is a really hard time for people so um I felt okay about that
especially because um the OPM review panel meeting that we would be eligible to attend is not until 62 so we had plenty of time to um navigate that April vacation time frame questions about the um
timeline okay just about everything else is sort of filling in um the name of our um procurement officer um and oh sorry Phil did you have a question it's Paul can you scoll back up
a little bit sure the part with Fiona you had some just noticed that after her name is actually yeah thank you and Jenny I just had some um I can take off line but just some Logistics as
far as um you know um how we'll advertise it and how responses and that sort of stuff no need to Boggle down the whole group but we can chat about that okay great yep um there was a question as well about
certifications um so there was a um in here it's asked if we asked us to say what certifications we require um and I did a little bit of sleuthing and did talk to our legal counsel as well um and uh this is um very similar to
what Arlington articulated so I don't think there's anything um particularly specific here that we need to require um instead to ask them what their certifications are um so I would
actually if anybody who is more in this world than I am has any suggestions if there's anything specific there I'm happy to take those suggestions okay let's see I think that is just about everything that was changed oh
Paul scroll back up another one with the biona right there oh it's very hard to um I love track changes but at some point it gets to be like too much um so we'll clean up the formatting
and everything once msba weighs in um and um you know we will um provide people our statement of Interest we will provide them our educational profile in our chapter 74 forms all of those things will um go with the package in in
addition to um the forms that uh and contracts that msba requires so all of that will um will go with this package um when it goes out the door and that's it are there any other
questions about this document um okay so my my goal would be for us to take a vote to approve this as amended um so that it can go to the msba tomorrow and
be in Q for them um one day before they move us into the next phase um so that we're in line and ready to go is there a motion to do so uh Emily uh so moved motion to
approve okay motion to approve by Emily seconded by second Aaron I'm going to stop the share so I can find my list um let's see
here okay um mayor lungo Kar yes Dr galy yes Dr Cushing yes Joan Bowen yes Marta cabal
yes Libby Brown yes Marissa Desmond yes Maria dorsy yes Brian Hillard yes Tracy Kean yes Emily Lazaro
yes Nicole Morell yes Aron L Aaron yeah Luke prry absent uh Jenny Graham yes so 14 in the affirmative one zero in the negative one absent uh motion passes so I will get this in the
cube so that we can move which is so exciting um the last thing on our list um as we were working through uh as the OPM selection subcommittee was was working through this the creation of this document um we
did have some discussion around around um the size of that committee so uh right now there are three voting members on the committee it's myself Dr Cushing and Aaron um we have two non- voting members on the committee um Fiona Maxwell um who's our chief procurement
officer and John mlin um who was not able to be here tonight um but uh we did talk a bit about whether it made sense for there to be one or two additional folks on this committee probably two so that we can keep an odd
number um just so that the group that is um sort of vetting all of this gets just a little bit bigger than it is right now um and I think the vision is that this group would be the group that sort of sits through all of the reviews um and
um certainly um does all of the evaluation to bring a recommendation back to this committee before it's all said and done but um that's I think it it will be a significant amount of work and I am particularly interested in making sure
that um some of the folks that we put on this committee to um advise in this process might be good um you know might be good additions to this group so um the the recommendation
from um the subcommittee was that we add two voting members and maybe one non- voting member to the to the group um to make sure that we have enough eyes on this really important decision um so I bring that back to this group because
this group voted on that committee initially so we also would um need to vote to um make a change um so I will um open that up if there's any questions or comments
I would assume that the [Music] um the this committee obviously is going to sit in on all of the interviews um the interviews will they be like during the business day I think that will depend on the committee um so you know I think whoever
is on the committee what we will have to do between now and the time this is published is make sure that there is availability and we can block those times um but I think there is some flexibility on that um on that timeline um and I'm
sure it's not uncommon for these kinds of things to happen not inside the working day so I think we have some flexibility there I just you know the the timeline will will be fast and pretty tight even if we are doing it
after hours Aron thank you I don't have any questions or comments obviously I'm one of the voting members for that I'm happy to if everyone else feels confident about this decision to increase the total number from at least from three to five U plus that additional non- voting
member um I'm happy to nominate um at least one member who I think would be a really good asset I know that um when we had a conversation about who would be best for this committee I know that their expertise in this area um was something that stuck out for a lot of us so um is this a time to do that or should I wait a little bit longer go for
it so if they are willing I'd love to nominate Libby Brown um to be one of the voting members um I I I as I understand it she has really good um knowledge on this type of these types of questions so so there's a motion to add Libby
Brown to the committee second seconded by Marissa there any questions or comments about that um motion from the rest of the
group just before maybe before we take a roll call vote we make sure Libby has the time and is interested I wasn't sure if I should speak up but yes I I'm happy to be involved and um I've worked with many opms over the years so um have a good sense of what we're looking for
here great great thank you um well then I will call the role um uh mayor Longo Kar yes Dr gusi yes Dr
Cushing yes Joan Bowen yes Marta cabal yes Libby Brown yes Marissa Desmond yes Maria dorsy yes Brian hilard
yes Tracy Keane yes Emily Lazaro yes Nicole Morell yes Arin yes Luke prer absent Jenny Graham yes 14 in the affirmative zero in the negative one absent welcome
Libby um thank you so um I do think um um we are still thinking about um one additional voting member and one nonvoting member um to add to this group
um are there people who are really excited to put their hand in the air and participate in this process or um I see a hand from member rouso um who is a non- voting member so he would be filling the non- voting spot
um are there other folks who are excited about this Choy about this opportunity hearing and see seeing none we nominate member Russo okay nomination for member Russo by mayor Longo Kar is there a
second second second second by Dr Cushing um okay roll call Mayor lungo Kar yes Dr gy yes Dr Cushing yes Joan Bowen yes Marty
cabal yes Libby Brown yes Marissa Desmond yes uh Maria dorsy yes Brian hilard yes Tracy Keane yes Emily Lazaro yes Nicole Morell yes
Aron Luke prer absent Jenny Graham yes so 14 the affirmative Z and the negative one absent um welcome Paul to the team um and so I think there's maybe one more voting member to
appoint um and I did have a brief conversation with Dr galy about whether she wanted to be that person um and I think we would love to have her um but she has a very full plate right now so
um I'm totally open to hearing from you Dr galy if you have a preference no I mean I'm happy to step up I just also wanted to kind of see if there were other people that also
wanted um the opportunity to participate um but I'm absolutely happy to step up and be a a participating member of this committee um are there other folks who might want to give Dr gusi some free
time and join us instead Jenny did uh if I read um Luke pizer's email correctly this morning he expressed interest in being um part of a group that was making these decisions so
um I don't know if he's a voting member or not but that's the way that I read it that he was offering his Services I did I did have a couple of email exchanges with Luke and he what he was um referring to was sort of the
creation of the do the document um and willingness to help support that so I didn't read it that way and I know he was unable to come so um I would I would hate to um put him on the spot like that but um and he did he did see the agenda
so if he had an inkling of that I'm sure that he would have let me know um and I I do expect that he will be very active on the communications and Community engagement subcommittee so um I didn't know we have a couple of other architects in our midst is that
true I want to put you on the spot Brian yeah I'm one of the guilty uh guilty as charged um it could be of interest I think I need to dig in a little bit more uh I mean typically when I was involved I was on the design end so you know typically just more of the tail end okay
um not not opposed to joining you guys but I think I just needed to um dig in and see if I'm the the right kind of person that you're looking for um so how how about a maybe okay is that well I think um to your point like this is the
first procurement this is the OPM selection committee there will be another whole procurement to bring on the designer and so maybe we asked Dr gy to be part of this process and we um plan to shift that selection committee
to give people a break and pull you in at that time when we are on boarding that Designer does that feel absolutely sure and and again you know I'm happy to stretch if need be and obviously would love to give anybody relief if they need it but you know I know sort of my my
skill set so if there's uh if there's somebody better than me right now to fill in but I'm happy to to um switch horses in the middle of the race too so okay great remember gram yeah along the same lines as um Brian I'd be happy to
to be in on the architect selection I'm I'm more familiar with the questions and things that would be asked then as opposed to asking the uh OPM okay great well we'll we'll hire you in just um a few weeks hopefully for that process so is there an official
nomination of to add Dr galy to the OPM selection committee I'd be happy to nominate her okay so nominated by Dr Cushing I'll second that and also maybe Dr Lucy if you want to have a conversation with Luke if if in the meantime and maybe we could always
switch it if it was would relieve you from hours of work that you already have a ton of so I second it and I'm open to changing that vote if you get a positive from Luke great um okay so um to appoint Dr gusi
