Topics include: electrical upgrade pilot building, residential and garage building maintenance, metal window frames, serpentine walls, and security services contracts.
Electrical Upgrade Project
The electrical pilot project in Building 91 proceeds. Work in six of the building’s eight units has wrapped up and rewiring for last two units will be finished in September.
Residential Building Painting/Insulation
Building 2 was completed on August 11. On August 14, power washing began at Building 17 in Court 4. Carpentry repairs and insulation began August 16 and is scheduled to be completed by end of August.
Garage Restoration and Painting
Courts 3, 7, and 11 have been selected for Garage Restoration, tentatively scheduled to start in Fall 2023. The garage restoration project will include termite treatment of the garage buildings, carpentry repairs and new paint; this year the process will also include roof and garage foundation repairs.
Metal Window Frame Repair/Replacement
Four homeowners have volunteered their windows to test the feasibility of rehabilitating existing windows. Facilities Engineer Linda Pollari is working with a vendor to obtain pricing and present a proposal at the September 26 Board meeting.
Serpentine Walls
Contractor Troxler and Sons is still seeking to resolve issues involving the brick used for serpentine wall repairs. LAOHR recommended Troxler obtain samples of Carolina Brick Company’s hand-cut brick product. However, Carolina mandates a minimum order of 34,000 bricks, far more than the approximately 4,000 needed for upcoming wall repairs. Carolina recommended Troxler contact a smaller local distributor that might have a lower minimum.
Security Services
As reported last month, the Association’s security contract has been put out to bid. Safety Committee Liaison Steve Haggerty and Board President Laura Civiello hosted a virtual town hall on Thursday, August 3 for residents wishing to offer feedback and suggestions to inform the RFP process. In addition to Public Security, Management solicited and received RFPs from six security companies. The Board will review submitted proposals with the goal of making a final selection at next month’s board meeting.
