Deep River committee recommends TSKP for professional design work, will seek Board approval March 24
Summary
The Deep River Firehouse Building Committee voted to recommend TSKP as the professional design services firm and will present that recommendation to the Board of Selectmen at its March 24 meeting; the recommendation is contingent on review of a draft contract and will affect the project schedule.
The Deep River Firehouse Building Committee voted to recommend TSKP as the town’s professional design services firm and will ask the Board of Selectmen to approve that recommendation at the board's March 24 meeting. The committee assigned Chair Zachary Machold to notify TSKP and request a draft contract; Machold and Vice Chair Miriam Morrissey will attend the Board of Selectmen meeting to present the committee’s progress.
Why it matters: Selecting a professional design firm is a key early step that will shape the project schedule, scope and budget. Committee members said awarding design services is a prerequisite to completing a detailed schedule and cost projections that the Board of Finance will need.
What happened: Committee members agreed on making a formal recommendation to the Board of Selectmen and recording the assignment for Machold to send TSKP an email that informs the firm of the motion and requests a draft contract. The committee noted that finalizing design services is a gating item: the overall project schedule and next steps are contingent on the firm being awarded the contract.
Procedural next steps and provenance: Machold will notify TSKP and request a draft contract; Machold and Morrissey will present the Committee’s work to the Board of Selectmen on March 24. These actions were discussed during the Committee’s March 17 meeting (see timeline entries covering the design firm recommendation and project schedule).
Votes at a glance: The minutes record unanimous committee approval of prior motions that support moving the project forward; the recommendation to TSKP was stated as the committee’s motion and will be presented to the Board of Selectmen for final approval.
