Summary

Superintendent reported the building subcommittee selected an owner's project manager (OPM), negotiated a contract and submitted it to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) for review; the administration reported a not-to-exceed figure of $450,000 for the OPM and said the MSBA review panel will meet Jan. 5.

The Triton Regional School Committee received an update Dec. 10 on the district’s MSBA project timeline and the selection of an owner’s project manager (OPM).

The superintendent told the committee a subcommittee identified an OPM firm, negotiated terms and submitted the contract to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for OPM review. "We have submitted it to the MSBA... the OPM review panel will meet on January 5," the superintendent said.

The administration reported a not-to-exceed amount of $450,000 for the OPM contract; committee materials referenced prior allocations to designer and project budgets but some figures in the transcript packet were unclear. The superintendent described the next steps: MSBA OPM review and anticipated contract signature, followed by the OPM leading feasibility (module 3) and schematic design (module 4) work.

The superintendent also noted the firm has previous regional experience and had been recommended in reference checks. The building committee expects to meet in the weeks following MSBA approval to introduce the OPM and begin planning work. The committee did not take formal action beyond receiving the update.
