Council narrows construction‑manager candidates and schedules interviews for June 5
Summary
South Berwick councilors reviewed proposals for a construction manager for the town‑hall renovation, identified top candidates, and authorized the manager to schedule interviews on June 5, 2025.
Councilors on May 21 reviewed eight responses to a request for proposals for construction-management services for the town‑hall renovation and narrowed the field for interviews. The candidates discussed in the packet and by council preference included (as listed in the packet) Turner's Brothers, Wright/Right Ryan Construction (packet label varies), Alex Cook / Allied Cook Construction, Charter Brothers, Benchmark, Bienvenson, Garnison/Janison, and others.
Councilors compared their individual rankings, identified three firms that appeared most frequently near the top of reviewers’ lists, and directed the town manager to schedule interviews. The council authorized the town manager to arrange interviews with the three lead candidates on Thursday, June 5, 2025, on the first-floor meeting room, with proposed interview times beginning at 6 p.m., 7 p.m., and 8 p.m. (45‑minute slots with 15‑minute breaks were suggested in the discussion).
Councilors asked staff to coordinate availability with the selected firms and to provide interview materials and scoring matrices to the council in advance. The council emphasized the need to complete candidate interviews in early June to keep the renovation procurement schedule on track.
No final selection was made at the May 21 meeting; the scheduled interviews are the next step in the procurement process.
