The Maintenance Committee Report was presented by Joe Giacomini. He stated that over the summer months he and Jo Warn had met several times with Brian Keiter, Senior Structural Engineer with Kerns-Whitehouse & Associates, Inc. (KWA) with whom we had contracted to obtain and review bids for the Restoration and Waterproofing of Common Walkways and Decks. Brain Keiter presented his review and recommendations of four (4) bids by qualified contractors. The highest bid was $983,875 and the lowest bid was $681,145 by Structural Preservation Systems. Brian recommends a 20% contingency to cover unforeseen conditions when the old surface is removed. In addition KWA presented a proposal for a Construction/Contract Administration Services not to exceed $62,510. The total cost of the project would be (contractor $681,145 + 20% contingency $136,229 + engineer $62,510) $879,884. Bob Burwell informed the Board that as of September 30th there was about $340,000 in the General Property Reserves plus Deferred Maintenance and Unallocated Interest, therefore an Assessment will be necessary to pay for part of the project. Bob presented a chart showing that an assessment would run from $848.75 for the smallest units to $1,318.89 for the largest units per $100,000. As an example, if the Board approved $279,884 to come from reserves the balance of $600,000 would come from an assessment which would amount to $5,092.50 (6 x $848.75) for the smallest units to $7,913.34 (6 x $1,318.89) for the largest units.

It was moved and seconded to ask the Maintenance Committee to review the proposed bid in detail with Brian Keiter and report their recommendations to the Board at the November meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
