Should the District conduct interviews or provide recommendations or “short lists” of potential designer candidates prior to coming before the DSP?
A. No. The District, usually through the Owner’s Project Manager (OPM), should verify each applicant’s qualifications under MGL c.7, s. 38A½, et seq., and check all listed references, but all applicants that meet the minimum qualifications set forth in the RFS must be presented to the full DSP (including the local representatives) for discussion and deliberation. Additionally, any interviews of the applicants would be conducted before the full DSP, only after the DSP decides that such interviews are appropriate.
