Mhm. >> Very good afternoon and welcome to this Wednesday, June 17th meeting of the Milton Select Board at 3:04 p.m. Um, I will begin. I think we only have one topic on the agenda and I'll pass it to uh Mr. Milano to kind of walk
us through our decisions here. >> Uh thank you, Mr. Chair. So, um the action item today is uh kind of twofold. The first is to accept the recommendation of the School Building Committee to uh for PMA Consultants to serve as the
owner's project manager for the school project with the MSBA. Uh and then the second part of that is to approve um the submission of the selection narrative and the exhibits to the MSBA. I had provided a draft of that
earlier this week and then um sent out an updated version of that today. So, the selection narrative walks through the process by which the SBC followed to procure the services of an owner's project manager. Uh at a high level, they put out the RFP
or the request for services um for qualifications and and towards the end of April 11 firms submitted those 11 firms were shortlisted down to three that were invited to an interview Vertex, Left Field and PMA. After the interviews
the school building committee um has selected PMA um and the narrative explains some of the some of the ups and downs of the various firms that submitted it and why um PMA is settled on and I'll I'll defer to
Sapeet as the SBC uh representative. Does any other color commentary want to share in terms of the SBC's decision making and and thought process? >> Um yeah, I I joined the site board or excuse me, the school building committee about halfway through this
process. So I was there to observe and participate. One first observe the shortlisting stage from 11 firms to three and then participated in the interviews of the final three and ultimately the recommendation or the ranking of those three which culminated with the
selection of PMA Consultants. Um I thought the process was very good um and thorough. The interviews were an hour each um roughly pretty lengthy and substantive. I thought the final three and generally the the committee the school building committee thought it was
a really good fi- really impressive final three list. Sort of a close call between the final two. Really pleased with the thought of working with PMA Consultants. Um they have a lot of um MSBA school building experience, a lot
of Milton knowledge. Um I think they'll be a big help right away to the existing committee and chair once they get integrated. Um you know, in terms of their perspectives and quality of the process. So um you know, I feel good about what I
observed and as for the narrative that we're voting on, you know, I reviewed on it I reviewed it. I think it well summarizes the process from my perspective. So, happy to answer any questions, but I thought the process was good from my
perspective. >> Thank you, Peter. Any questions from the rest of the members? What thoughts? All right. I think we can move to a vote in a second. I just want to say before we move forward with this, you know, we
are we know with existing schools as well as the library project, we're kind of running two parallel projects, but important that we would have moved forward until we get to more of a finalized idea of what we want to present for our
town later this year. So, thank you for putting this together, Nick, and I think I will accept a motion to accept the OPM as presented to us. >> Yeah, so I'll move to approve the school building committee's
recommendation to select PMA Consultants as the owner's project manager for a school project with the MSBA. Um >> I'll second. >> All right, motion made and seconded. We are virtual, so this will be a roll call
vote. Megan Haggerty. >> Yes. >> Megan Nolan. >> Yes. >> Peter O'Malley Barber. >> Yes. >> And myself, yes. >> Yay. So, that that I can't tell if this is multiple votes,
Nick, but I Winston, we may um there's another part here to approve narrative and empower the town administrator. Do you Do you want me to put that in I I'll put that in a vote unless anyone tells me to stop, but um so I would second move
to approve the OPM selection narrative and designate the town administrator as the individual who shall have the authority to act on behalf of the owner under this contract and you shall be responsible for the day-to-day communications between the owner and the OPM. >> Motion made.
>> Second. >> Motion seconded. Thank you. We'll go roll call again. Uh Megan Nolan. >> Yes. >> Megan Haggerty. >> Yes. >> Robert Schomer. >> Yes. >> And myself, yes.
All right. Both motions pass. Uh Nick, do you need anything else from us or >> No, I think that's sufficient here. I appreciate the board making yourselves available and I'll I'll just echo to the to the chair's comments that the MSBA is
interested in in hearing. We've been in communication with them keeping them closely updated regarding the town's discussions around Labre so it's not a surprise to them. I do think they are interested in in having clarity about what the town wants to do moving forward
and we've explained kind of what our process is going to be locally to to get to that clarity and get to some decision points and and our rough time frame, you know, as we discussed end of July early August as when we're going to have better information for um boards and committees start weighing in on on next
steps. So um I've shared that with MSBA and kept them posted throughout this process. >> One last thing I'll say to you, Nick, is I think you should just be clear, you know, we're voting to designate you as the individual with the
authority to act on behalf of the owner with respect to the OPM, but you know, I don't know that how that works with you and the school building chair and all that, but you guys may want to just be clear on that. Um Um we talked about a little bit at the
school building committee. Um we weren't sure if that was Shawn or you, so just I think just clarify with them. >> Yes. No, we certainly will. I I think it'll be more Shawn in terms of kind of nuts and bolts of the project and then myself for any kind of legal >> Got it.
>> issues and and overall budget issues, etc. >> Sounds good. >> I think thank you. I will take a motion to adjourn. >> I most move to adjourn. >> Second. >> Motion made and seconded. All right, roll call vote. Megan Nolan. >> Yes. >> Megan Haggerty.
>> Yes. >> Over Shumer. >> Yes. >> And myself, yes. All right, thank you everyone. Appreciate it.
