Resumes and rates for Radio Frequency Engineers (Peer Review) for 125 Flagship Drive.
Vaillancourt was asking about discussing the 3rd party peer review for Florida Towers.
Manzi reported to the Board that as part of the continuance that the applicant stated in her letter that it
would be okay to discuss this matter without her being present, in regards to choosing the Radio
Frequency Engineer (3rd Party Peer reviewer).
Manzi stated that they have 3 Radio Frequency Engineer's resumes and rates in front of them to review.
The Board discussed all the 3 candidates' resumes, rates, experience, credentials and accomplishments.
Manzi talked to the Board, stating he wanted them to feel comfortable with the selection of the peer
reviewer. Manzi also said that he possibly could foresee that the Planning Board may go along with
whomever the ZBA chooses for a Peer Reviewer.
Manzi stated that he has not spoken to any of these 3 candidates.
Vaillancourt asked Ippolito what he thought of these 3 candidates, since it was his area of expertise.
Ippolito thought they all seemed qualified, and that each of these candidates had something to offer.
Ippolito stated that it would be helpful if any of these candidates had previously worked on a case that
was similar to the applicant we have now, for 125 Flagship Drive.
McIntyre talked of a new perspective or eye may be a good thing in choosing a peer reviewer for this
project.
Manzi asked Vaillancourt if he wanted to talk to any of the candidates, and also suggested that maybe
they should narrow it down to 2 candidates and possibly get some feedback from Town Counsel.
