1. Interviews with Top Ranked Design Services Proposals:
a. Coastal Engineering Company, Inc. /Chip Webster Design Architecture
(POSTPONED)
b. Brown Lindquist Fenuccio & Raber Architects, Inc.- Kurt Raber and
Tim Sawyer presented a comprehensive overview of their firm's
proposal to the Nantucket Land Bank's request for qualifications relative
to Phase One of the project. Various aspects of the project specifically
related to cost and procurement were discussed, in addition to design
philosophy and cost thresholds for compliance with Nantucket building
codes.
Commissioner Paterson stated that he would need to be convinced by a structural engineer that a
renovation was not possible, indicating further that several concerned citizens have expressed the
importance of keeping the existing casual local ambience if the clubhouse is renovated or rebuilt.
Mr. Raber and Mr. Sawyer indicated that the initial structural evaluation and code compliance
review would be conducted to generate a baseline data report from which the Commission could
make informed decisions moving forward. Mr. Sawyer indicated that their firm would take a
fresh look at the last master planning effort, requesting that the Commission keep an open mind,
perhaps reconsidering options it had previously dismissed.
Chairman Reinhard thanked Mr. Raber and Mr. Sawyer for the informative presentation and
advised that the Commission would further discuss their proposal and inform them once a
decision was made to award the contract.
