The Permanent Building Construction Committee (PBCC) traces its authority to Article XVII of the Town By-Laws which states in part :

“Subject to authorization by Town Meeting, the Committee shall have charge of construction, additions, and major renovations of all municipal buildings with authority to enter into contracts and make expenditures.”

The Committee is an instrument of Town Meeting, who assigns projects to the Committee typically through the warrant article that says: 

“... and further be it voted that the PBCC manage said project.” 

The PBCC reports officially back to Town Meeting through Article 2 (Reports of town committees) of the annual town meeting.  However, in addition, the PBCC sends monthly reports on the finances and status of all active projects to the Board of Selectmen, Finance Commission and the department for which the project is being constructed.  The PBCC is the awarding authority for contracts with the Architect and the General Contractor, and in case of projects costing over $1.5 million, an Owners Project Manager.  The PBCC approves all contracts and contract change orders and authorizes approving payments to all contractors.
