keep
the

board
for
the

they
were
reviewed
by
six
members

the
Boston
Public

We

the
experience
of
their
sub

team,

seventy
dollars.
B
I
also
call
your

E
As
a

sufficient

five
schools
in
this
program.
The
John
Marshall
School
and
the
Timmel
T
middle
school
are
not
included
at
that
time.
As
the
repair
scope
of
work
for
each
school
required
for
the
design
review
and
independent
construction
schedules
to
meet
the
specific
repair
needs.
This
decision
allowed
the
five
other
schools
to
follow
on
the
same
timeframe
for
design
and
construction
schedules.
E
The
up
Academy
Charter
School

window

door
replacement
project.
The
city
undertook
due
diligence
with
this
investigator
work
and
factored
in
a
16
week
lead
time
for
the
window
manufacturing
process.
Accordingly,
construction
is
anticipated
in
the
summer
of
2019
when
the

session.
E
These
projects
are
funded
through
a
bond
authorization
to

Vote
number
4
is
being
presented
by
Scott
to
pre
as
well
again
a
project
manager
with
the
public
facilities
Department.
This
is
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
July
20th
2016
regarding
a
contract
with
Dora
and
Whittier
architects
incorporated
to
provide
architectural
design
and
construction
administration
services
associated
with
the
demolition
and
new
construction
of
the
Boston
Fire
Department
engine
number
42
project.
This
would
be
an
increase
to
that
design,
services
contract
by
one
eight
hundred,
twelve
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
and
a

as

Scott.
E
I
last
appeared
before
the
Commission
in
July
of
2016,
when
the
Commission
voted
to
approve
the
award,
the
design
and
construction
administration
services
for
the
project,
Doran
Whittier,
the
scope
of
the
contracted
design,
work
included,
demolition
and
new
construction
of
engine
42
and
the
rescue
to
firehouse
the
poet
facilities
department
is
on
schedule
and
working
diligently
to
complete
the
design
documents
for
public
bidding
and
construction
work.
This
is
the
first
amendment
request
on
this
project
to
be
bought
before
the
Commission.
E
The
amendment
is
for
additional
monies
to
address
the
need
for
increased
design
services
of
importance.
The
additional
design
services
are
needed
due
to
the
project's
original
budget
not
adequately
adequately
covering
the
cost
in
the
new
firehouse.
Once
a
program
was
completed
due
to
the
department,
health
and
wellness
initiative
for
the
Boston
Fire
Department
of
the
building
program
increased
in
size
and
complexity.
E
The
additional
services
we
are
asking
for
is
increased
due
to
the
geotechnical
issues
and
the
need
to
design
a
temporary
site
for
engine
42
on
Atherton
Street
in
West
Roxbury,
which
is
butted
to
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
land
of
note,
Doran
Whittier.
Architects
has
designed
dozens
of
fire
houses
throughout
New
England
and
are
an
excellent
resource
to
complete
this
program.
E
If
you
please
turn
your
attention
to
picture
one,
which
is
an
image
of
the
existing
fire
house
which
is
being
demolished
now
in
picture
two,
you
can
see
a
concept
of
what
the
new
fire
house
will
look
like.
It
is
significantly
larger
than
the
existing
and
in
the
next
picture
you
can
see
the
layout
for
the
first
floor
of
the
new
fire
house.
It
will
have
three
bays
and
a
decontamination
area
for
the
firefighters
to
clean
their
gear,
among
other
amenities
and,
lastly,
on
picture,
for
you
can
see
the
second
floor
in
penthouse
layouts.
E
The
second
floor
will
have
a
kitchen
dining
day
rooms,
bunk
rooms,
a
fitness
room
as
well
as
officer
quarters
and
separate
offices,
the
pentose
will
house
and
mechanical
equipment.
These
layouts
take
into
account
a
three
zone
system,
red,
neutral
and
green-
that
will
keep
contaminants
separated
into
in
the
red
zone
and
make
for
a
cleaner
and
healthier
firehouse,
which
ties
into
the
fire
departments,
health
and
wellness
initiative.
E
Therefore,
PFD
requested
indoor
would
have
submitted
a
proposal
with
fees
for
the
additional
design
services
in
the
amount
of
six
hundred
and
twenty
six
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
dollars
of
important
the
original
design
fee
for
base
services
was
negotiated
with
Dorn
wood
here.
At
eight
point,
five
percent
of
the
estimated
construction
cost
and
PFD
negotiated
a
lower
fee
of
eight
point.
Two
five
based
on
the
new
estimated
construction
cost.
We
are
asking
to
extend
the
contract
18
months.
Furthermore,
these
boat
requests
include
an
additional
service
contingency
for
the
project.
E
This
increases
for
additional
service
is
due
to
soil
conditions
on
the
site
and
the
needs
design
a
temporary
site
for
engine
42.
The
contingency
request
is
for
one
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
seventy
seven
dollars,
which
brings
the
total
budget
for
additional
services
to
four
hundred
forty
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
of
significance.
Expenditures
of
these
funds
are
only
permitted
after
PFD
senior
management
reviews
and
the
written
approval.
