it's
great
to
see
us
again
doing
work

building
things
and
so

but
I
noticed
all
of
the
cables
that
are
on

Is
the
plan
to
encase
them

bring
them
inside

them

Good

award
a

a
separate
parks
department,
design
study,
which
we
anticipate
coordinating
with
the
second
slide,
shows
the
existing
dartmouth

F
The
focus
of
the
work
here
will
be
to
provide
options
for
an
accessible
entrance,
as
well
as
best
means
to
engage
the
public
and
activate
the
public
plaza
in
front
of
the
building.
Additionally,
as
noted
before,
we
anticipate
coordinating
with
parks
department
to
integrate
our
design
with
their
design.
F

F
Committee
comprised
of
six
people
with
experience
in
design
planning
and
construction
from
the
city
of
boston,
public
facilities,
department
and
the
boston
public
library
reviewed
the
qualifications
of
each
firm
on
march
11
2020,
using
using
the
defined
criteria
in
the
rfq
on
march
11
2020.
Four
firms
were
shortlisted
by
the
selection
committee
and
invited
to
the
interview
because
of
the
subsequent
covet
19
closure
of
city
offices.
F
The
interview
process
was
delayed
until
april
29
2020,
when
the
four
firms
were
interviewed
through
a
publicly
advertised
zoom
meeting
shepard
wolfing
richardson
abbott
was
recommended
as
the
top
design
firm
due
to
the
team's
experience
with
significant
library
projects,
historic
renovations
and
chapter
49.
Public
construction
projects.
F
In
addition,
shepley
wolfman,
richardson
and
avid,
is
a
state-certified
women-owned
business
enterprise
and
their
civil
engineering.
Sub-Consultant
engineering
is
also
a
state-certified
women's
business
enterprise,
in
accordance
with
the
rfq
guidelines
for
design
fee
calculations,
pfd
and
shepard
bullfinch
richardson
have
it
negotiated
a
design
fee
of
640
dollars.
F
G
Good
for
us
just
an
additional
comment
that
makes
it
make
the
record
that
increasingly
making
this
building
more
accessible,
it's
also
going
to
save
costs.
I
know
the
election
department
annually
spends
a
lot
of
money
to
create
an
excessive
interest
for
voters
in
this
very
important
for
innovation.
So
that's
another
benefit
to
this
project.
So
I
make
a
motion
that
we
improve.
