I.E.1. Interviews of Architectural Firms
Discussion:
The Board along with Troy Loeffelholz, Superintendent, Jason Harris, Director of Student Services and Special Education, Leonard Kwapnioski, Director of Buildings/Sites and Technology, and Teresa Hausmann, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment interviewed 4 architectural firms.
Firms interviewed were BVH, Clark & Enerson, DLR, and Wilkins. Each group introduced themselves and shared the longevity of the organization and gave testimony to their respective organizations. Each group had twenty minutes to share experiences, costs, protocols for each phase of a project. Pre-bond services were outlined for the group which included questions regarding cost, and specific ideas for ways to involve students, staff and the community. All firms expressed the importance of finding out what the priorities are for all stakeholders and then start putting costs to those projects. The Board of Education had 25 minutes to ask the same questions to each firm for answers to some of their specific questions. Discussion with each group included what would the plan be for gaining community support, how are design flaws handled, how will they handle putting future ready technology into the projects. Discussion also included working with contractors and how each firm works with an owner’s representative. After the interviews, Dr. Loeffelholz asked the board to rate each firm 1-4 as to who they would hire. Dr. Loeffelholz said he would begin calling references on the top firm chosen. |
