Manager, and Peter Sorenson, VHB, Inc. Engineering

visited all 4 sites to investigate needs and presented study objectives in two categories including
site and building. Members questioned existence of any related renovation work. DHK noted
Transit Authority Maintenance Building and Boston Water and Sewer Commission Facility
projects include renovation work. Regarding MEP trade capabilities, VHB Engineering would
provide manpower to address MEP issues during design phase if DHK got that portion of the
work. DHK did not propose to address MEP issues during this feasibility study. Calulation of
Cost Estimate: Design cost development. Mr. Krockmalnic noted contingencies running from
30%-100%.

not be answered.

(MEP Issues) and Michael Covello (Administrative responsibilities). CSS offered assistance
