F
Thank
you
tt
good
morning,
commissioners,
I'm
here
today
to
request
the
public
facilities
commission's
approval
to
amend
the
design,
a
construction
administration
services
contract
with
hmfh
architects
for
the
new
jason
quincy
upper
school
or
jqs
project
by
adding
871
879
dollars
to
the
additional
services
that
were
approved
at
the
january
pfc
hearing.
The
amendment
is
needed
to
align
the
city's
contract
with
hmi
architects
with
the
msba's
contract
with
hmfh.
F
In
doing
so,
this
amendment
will
maximize
the
city's
reimbursement
of
eligible
costs
from
the
massachusetts
school
building
authority
or
msba.
As
noted
in
the
project
background
memo,
msba
reimbursement
is
expected
to
be
upwards
of
52
million
dollars,
based
on
eligible
costs
upon
receipt
of
hmfh's
contract.
Amendment
number
9,
which
was
approved
at
the
january
public
facilities
commission
hearing
they
informed
the
public
facilities
department
that
this
amendment
did
not
include
several
of
the
amendments
to
their
msba
contract,
which
were
executed
between
october
of
2019
and
september
of
2020..
F
These
msba
amendments
total
471
879
dollars
and
include
works
such
as
hazardous
materials,
investigation
and
borings
associated
with
the
new
gq
us
building.
The
reason
that
these
msba
amendments
were
not
included
in
amendment
number.
Nine
to
hmfh's
contract
is
because
amendment
number
eight,
which
was
approved
by
the
public
facilities
commission
in
september
of
2019,
did
not
include
any
additional
services.
F
Since
amendment
since
msba
amendments
45
to
52
were
signed
by
the
city,
the
entire
gqs
project
team
thought
that
approval
of
these
amendments
would
amend
the
city's
contract
with
hmfh.
However,
because
amendment
number
8
to
hmfhs
contract
did
not
include
additional
services.
That
was
not
the
case
as
a
relatively
new
project
manager
with
the
city.
F
I
was
also
unaware
that
the
msba
contract
amendment,
which
was
signed
by
the
city,
would
not
subsequently
amend
the
city's
contract
with,
in
addition,
hmfh
also
informed
the
public
facilities
department
that
amendment
number
nines
in
the
contract
did
not
include
costs
for
additional
services
associated
with
materials.
Testing
for
the
project
materials
testing
is
used
to
perform
quality
control.
F
These
material
testing
costs
were
previously
accounted
for
in
the
msba
3011
total
project
budget,
but
were
carried
under
miscellaneous
project
costs.
Moving
the
cost
for
material
testing
into
reimbursable
architectural
engineering
services
will
permit
the
city
to
apply
for
reimbursement
of
these
costs
from
the
msba.
F
Project,
thank
you.
Catherine
slide
number
one
shows
an
aerial

F
These

form
the
footprint
for
the
new
jqs
building
to
be
located
at
900
washington

The

The

are
four
floors
of
academic
classrooms,
which
will
form
the
core
for
the
new
jqs
building
thanks
catherine,
it
prepped
this
avr
will
be
an
important
piece
of
the
city's
goal
of
having
a
new
building
ready
for
bps
students
beginning
in
the
fall
of
2024,
and
will
allow
the
city
to
maximize
reimbursement
of
project
costs
from
the
mspa
public
facilities.
Department
respectfully
requests
the
public
facilities
commission's
approval
of
this
avr.
B
Not
a
question
but
more
of
a
clarification.
The
commission
has
already
approved
actually
the
funding,
so
this
is
really
just
a
housekeeping
measure
on
paperwork.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
that's
correct,
yeah,
okay,
good
project.
