January 18, 2013 Mr. Kris Luoto Business Manager Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School 758 Marrett Road Lexington, MA 02421 Re: Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School Building Project Dear Mr. Luoto and Members of the Designer Selection Panel: Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. (“Kaestle Boos”) is pleased to present our qualifications for the feasibility study and schematic design for the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School (“Minuteman”) building project. Kaestle Boos has enjoyed the privilege of working with the Minuteman community since our participation as part of an ESCO Energy project at the school in 2008, and both our Principal and Project Architect have been personally involved with the school and community. Through a comprehensive existing conditions study, we developed a deep and thorough knowledge and understanding of the building and the educational program and have worked with the District to identify potential approaches to renovation of the facility. Since the completion of that study, we have also assisted the District with multiple projects including a facility code review, design of a new Alumni office, redesign of the Guidance Center, and additional code compliance work in the trades hall. With nearly fifty years of experience in educational facility planning and design, Kaestle Boos is committed to working closely with communities to develop well-designed and cost-effective school facilities that not only provide safe, comfortable and stimulating educational environments for students and teachers, but also maximize the District’s life-cycle return on investment. We are especially skilled with vocational and technical high schools including the addition and renovation projects at E.C. Goodwin Regional Technical High School in New Britain, CT, the Regional Vocational Aquaculture School in Bridgeport, CT, and Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical School in Charlton, MA, which is currently completing the Design Development phase. We will combine our understanding of new and current trends in vocational and technical educational planning and design with our knowledge of the building to provide Minuteman community with the most effective and efficient solution to meet their programmatic needs. 325 Foxborough Boulevard, Suite 100, Foxborough, MA 02035 Phone: 508-549-9906 p Fax: 508-549-9907 Additional office located in Connecticut Email: [email protected] p Web: www.kba-architects.com To accomplish this goal, we have included Dr. Frank Locker, renowned educational planner and Mr. David Stephen of New Vista Designs, a leader in vocational and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programming and design. Dr. Locker has provided educational vision and planning for numerous Districts worldwide, including several vocational facilities, and has been working with the Minuteman District on their Strategic Plan. Mr. Stephen is a registered architect who has helped developed the programming at some of the most recognized and successful vocational high schools across the country including the Denver School of Science and Technology and High Tech High in San Diego. They will utilize their expertise to work collaboratively with Kaestle Boos and the Minuteman District to apply current applications and trends in vocational and STEM learning to Minuteman’s educational program and develop an organized facility which will serve as a regional and national model for career and workforce education. Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc. is a qualified Designer within the meaning of M.G.L. Chapter 7, Section 38A 1/2, and Michael McKeon, a Massachusetts-registered architect, will be responsible for and in control of the services to be provided pursuant to the contract. Mr. McKeon, Project Manager Brian Solywoda, and Project Architect Joseph Milani have successfully completed the Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Program seminar “Certification for School Project Designers and Owner’s Project Manager”. Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 7, Section 40N, we agree to contract with minority and women- owned businesses as certified by the Supplier Diversity Office that meet or exceed the goals identified for this project. Kaestle Boos takes no exception to the Contract terms and conditions, and we acknowledge Addendum 1 dated January 8, 2013, and Addendum 2 dated January 9, 2013. We trust that our commitment and enthusiasm for providing the Minuteman community with a creative, cost-effective and sustainable design solution is apparent in our proposal. The entire team understands this project is an opportunity to help move the school towards meeting the District’s distinct mission and level of service to its students and the community. We look forward to the opportunity to present our qualifications and ideas in greater detail and to demonstrate our enthusiasm for working again with the entire Minuteman community, Skanska, and the MSBA, for this exceptional, and necessary, project. Very truly yours, Michael J. McKeon, AIA, LEED AP Principal-in-Charge Bryant Associates is current waiting for their renewed certificate to arrive from the Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD). They are currently listed as an approved MBE firm on the OSD’s website. We will be happy to forward the renewed certificate as soon as it is received. 10.

The report, now in its third year, includes a broad spectrum of performance measures and goals, established by the Board in collaboration with the 24 state and community colleges, to address strategic objectives for public higher education. The University of Massachusetts prepares a separate accountability report for its five campuses located in Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Worcester. Because of their status as specialty institutions, Massachusetts College of Art and Massachusetts Maritime Academy also prepare separate reports. Public Higher Education in Massachusetts Overall, we are seeing growing evidence of the system’s relevance to Massachusetts residents. In this state, where there are many educational options, more Massachusetts high school graduates are choosing public higher education. The percent of Massachusetts high school graduates who opted to stay here has increased from 63% in fall 1996 to 68% in fall 2004, an increase of 5,464 Massachusetts students. Last year, 280,000 Massachusetts residents attended our public colleges or University campuses, comprising 92% of undergraduate student enrollment and 72% of graduate student enrollment in the public system.

Then, major recommendations are outlined, including: (I) Parents must be involved in deciding which different kinds of educational options should be offered in their district and whichare best for each of their children. (2) Teachers and principals must be able to choose the kind of schooling they wish to practice. (3) A permanent system-wide Parent and Citizen Planning Council should be established, and its members should conduct parent/professional surveys, operate a city-wide Parent Information Center, and perform other similar functions. (4) School-based management is preferred, and every school should have a School Parent Council elected by the parents whose children attend that school.
