ECC told Brookline feasibility studies could cost $100K–$500K and recommended assembling a fluid team
Summary
ECC Corporation representatives said understanding options for Daniels Academy requires engaging architects, estimators and engineers and estimated feasibility work could cost between $100,000 and $500,000; they noted architect fees could be billed by task or as a percentage (8% mentioned).
Representatives of ECC Corporation (Sourabh Patil, Inga Knox and Kerri Benton) told the Brookline Selectboard that the company has municipal experience and that developing options for Daniels Academy requires architects, estimators, engineers and contractors. ECC said it does not maintain a fixed in-house team for all those roles and would work through a "fluid process" to assemble contractors and consultants the town would hire.
ECC representatives told the board that feasibility work can range from $100,000 to $500,000 and that hiring an architect might be billed by task or as a percentage of project cost (8% was mentioned). ECC described its municipal experience beginning with railroad projects and noted 20 years of public-sector work; the minutes record this explanation but do not specify a recommended firm for subsequent technical studies.
