Dear Mr. Frenette:
Thank you for your firm's response to the Reading School Building Committee's recent
Request For Qualifications for schematic design services in the proposed renovation of
Reading Memorial High School. Unfortunately, your firm is not among the three firms
this Committee chose to interview as a next step in the selection process. However, if
after these interviews, the Committee does not select one of those firms for the project,
we will certainly re-consider your firm's qualifications. We will contact you directly if
such a situation arises. The selection process should conclude over the next two to
three weeks.
Our selection of 3 firms to interview was not simple or easy. Our Architect Selection
Subcommittee was given sixteen competent and thorough RFQs to review and report on
to the full Committee. It was clear that each responding firm had made a strong effort to
demonstrate its ability to perform the work we require. Consequently, the
Subcommittee's deliberations were lengthy, and its recommendations to the full
Committee, of necessity, passed over many capable candidates.
Again, we thank you for your interest in this project. We do appreciate all the time,
work, and expense that went in to submitting your response package. If the Committee
ultimately does choose another firm, we hope that you will try again, should Reading
issue other requests for architectural services in the coming years.
