Commission signs STV task order and moves toward consolidated RFP for highway garage roof
Summary
The commission confirmed a signed task order with STV to assist with an assessment, design and procurement strategy for the highway garage roof and directed staff to draft an RFP to hire an architectural team to perform assessment and design work under a single contract.
The commission reported progress on the highway garage roof project on June 24, noting that STV has signed a task order to support assessment and design and that staff will prepare a consolidated RFP to select an architectural firm to perform a fresh assessment and full design.
Commissioners said the new approach will mirror the process used for the high school project: one architectural firm (with structural and other engineering subconsultants) will perform a site assessment, prepare design documents, and support procurement and construction administration under a single contract. The group agreed to reference prior reports (such as the Gary Tarantino assessment) but require the selected architect to perform and deliver its own assessment as part of RFP deliverables.
Justin and STV staff will draft the RFP text for review; the commission expects an initial draft in the coming weeks, with a view to advertise the opportunity once the draft meets town procurement requirements. Commissioners also discussed potential referendum and state funding implications if the construction estimate exceeds town thresholds.
Next steps: STV and town procurement will finish the RFP draft, share it with commission members for comment, and schedule follow‑up meetings to finalize the selection process.
