Two qualified bidders were identified by the town last fall, and a selection committee has met with one of the firms, Mayor Joseph Sullivan said.

Mayor Sullivan said he hopes to see the athletic complex at Braintree High School built in 2013.
The town will soon select a company to design, build and operate a pool and ice rink at Braintree High School now that two qualified bidders for the project have been identified. A selection committee will examine the proposals over the next few weeks and choose a firm around Thanksgiving, Mayor Joseph Sullivan told the School Committee earlier this week. Gov.

Captain August Julius Petersen left a gift to Braintree of $65,000 in 1963 that has since grown to more than $2 million.
Town councilor Tom Bowes and School Committee member Tom Devin have been appointed to an evaluation committee for the Capt. Petersen pool and ice rink complex that will also include residents from a variety of backgrounds. Other committees now in the works include a search group that is vetting candidates to replace departing Braintree High School Headmaster David Swanton, and another that will help locate a permanent replacement for interim special education director Jeffrey W. Rubin. The final list list of members for the Petersen committee will be set soon, Mayor Joseph Sullivan said, and in the coming months they will review proposals from companies that would construct and run the facility at the high school. The town plans to …
