THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
O
ur wood replacement project is the largest project
that we have performed in
many years. The Board is taking
care with every aspect of the project. We have budgetary numbers
in and approved. The final details
and negotiations will take place
soon. I anticipate that the wood
replacement will start in late February.
Additional details, interviews and
such will take place to ultimately
award the contract to one of them.
The painting of the complex as a
whole will take 18 to 24 months as
well. The plan is to have the buildings
painted (a few at a time) shortly after
the wood replacement is complete on
each building.
We have a list of priorities that will
be performed first before the general wood replacement commences. The priorities are items that we
consider could be hazardous such
as compromised wood on balconies. The project is expected to last
18 to 24 months.
The Board has selected Behr to be
the provider of the paint. Behr has
agreed to inspect each building after
they have been painted to ensure the
painting has been done properly. The
painting contractor will not be paid
for buildings painted until Behr has
approved the painted buildings. This
adds one more level of quality control
to the painting project.
The planning for the painting portion of this project is progressing
very well. We received 7 proposals from contractors and have
narrowed the field down to three.
What are the other levels of quality control? Well besides the Board
members and management company, all of us that live here are. Each of
us are familiar with the outside of our
homes and the surrounding areas.
After the work has been performed
(wood replacement and/or painting) on each building (as the project progresses) if you see something that you feel does not appear
to be right, please let us know.
I have been asked (for many years
by some) when are we going to
change the paint colors. Well obviously now is the time. Behr will
provide a representative from their
color group to work with a few individuals from our community to
come up with several (4 or 5) color
schemes. These different color
schemes will be applied to one side
of the bathroom building of the pools
for everyone to see. We would take
(and appreciate) comments from
everyone regarding the different
schemes. I hope to have the painting started by March or early April.
