It was recommended that the school business manager advertise and solicit bids for site soils analysis. L. Amoruso noted we had received communication from HMFH the school architect. HMFH then was allowed to present revised costing on the contract. Total time to turn around all phases of design (restart design and revise SBAB documents, design development, Contract documents) would require 8 months. This is beyond the recommended completion time of July 1 198 e Some conversation was held on continuation of design contract. It is not clear according to what was filed in the central register and what was signed for a contract as to what actions can occur to restart design. The basic result is that town action has backed the committee into a corner. S. MacCaffrie noted he would not "rubber stamp" a fee of (approximately) one million dollars. Since time is of the essence, it was recommended by the school committee chairman that we negotiate the contract immediately. A motion was made and seconded to go into executive session for the sole purpose of negotiating the architects fees. Voted unanimous. Meeting adjourned to the superintendents office at 9:15 P.M.
