MBTA Yards

A state selection committee yesterday decided it will disqualify two potential developers of the Boylston Street subway yards unless the two firms either reunite, or one firm buys out the other, David Carter, staff assistant at the State Planning Office, said last night.

The committee had originally decided to consider a proposal submitted jointly by the Boston Urban Associates (BUA) and The Architects Collaborative (TAC) along with proposals from two other such development teams, Jonathan Dorfman '76, assistant to Lieut. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill III, said yesterday.

A split between the two firms arose last May when Joseph Hoskins, an architect working on the project, left TAC to form his own architectural firm two days before BUA submitted its proposal to the selection committee.

Spokesmen for BUA or TAC were not available for comment yesterday.
