The group discussed seeking proposals and noted that Kite Architects is on the state's MPA. The group discussed using Kite because the firm worked with Civic Builders in the previous iteration of the project. Colliers is also on the Commissioning Agent MPA, so Ms. DaCruz plans to reach out to them.

The group reviewed the draft RFP. Ms. Waller agreed to send the MPA listing for Construction. Ms. DaCruz would like for the board to approve the Owner's Representative RFP at the same time as the architecture RFP. She would like both vendors to start together.

Mr. Izzi stated that he wants to add some language around Rhode Island regulations, especially concerning energy efficiency. Otherwise, the RFP is ready for release. Ms. DaCruz plans to make changes to the schedule in the document, removing the walkthrough.

Ms. Waller will post it to RISE Prep's website and the state vendor website. For the April 1 board meeting, the group will bring the bids back to the board. Ms. DaCruz would like architectural drawings before going to RFP for the construction manager. She plans to move the board meeting to April 22 to allow for more response time.
