Reserve Study Update
As budgeted, the Budget & Finance Committee and Management recommended a professional Reserve Study Update be done this year. It has been two years, and as we originally anticipated, there have been changes which would alter the outlook enough to make it a worthwhile endeavor to have their projections formally updated.
Attached for Board Member review, is the original update proposal, which was provided with the presentation of their Reserve Study in the fall of 2014. Their proposal is good so long as the update is done by the 4th quarter of 2017. This gives us plenty of time, but due to the known changes over the past two years, we recommend the update be completed by August so their figures can be used for consideration of the 2017/2018 fiscal year budget.
A sample motion follows: “I move the Board of Directors approves the proposal by Reserve Advisors to complete a formal update of their 2014 Park Tower Condo Association Reserve Study, at a cost of $10,900.”
Outdoor Pool Resurfacing
Attached to the report for Board review are bids for the budgeted resurfacing of the outdoor pool.
BK Sandblasting $14,500
All Seasons Pool & Spa $13,800
We are waiting for two more bids, from JLJ Contracting and HOH Inc.
This project was budgeted for $20,000.
A sample motion follows: “I move the Board of Directors approves resurfacing of the outdoor pool as proposed by ____________, at a cost of ____________.”
Lobby Door Enclosure
We would like to begin the process to build the proposed and budgeted lobby door enclosure. This was budgeted in lieu of replacing the north lobby door.
The project was budgeted at $30,000, but we will need to get drawings and a permit, so we expect the cost on this to come modestly over budget. Rough drawings were provided by JLJ when were soliciting them for numbers to help with budgeting. This follows the attached proposals provided for Board review. Since we will need to have architectural drawings done, these can be provided to the Board for final review and approval before we go for permitting.
The proposals are as follows:
Nolan Contracting $35,890
Reliable Building $37,100
JLJ Contracting $33,960
None of the bids include drawings and a permit, which after a meeting with the low bidder, JLJ, we believe will be about $5000. It is impossible to determine until the drawings are reviewed by the City, which departments this will need to be passed through to get a permit. So we suggest the Board get this started by approving a cost not to exceed $40,000.
The drawings will take 3 to 4 weeks, and the permitting process may take 4 to 8 weeks. Once the architectural drawings are done, we will submit to the Board for final approval.
A sample motion follows: “I move the Board of Directors approves construction of the proposed north lobby door wind break enclosure, including replacement of the existing north lobby door and drafting of the necessary drawings to apply for the requisite city permits at a cost not to exceed $40,000; management will submit the professional drawings to the Board for final approval prior to seeking a permit and beginning construction.”
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the Board will consider adjourning the meeting.
A sample motion follows: “I move the Board of Directors adjourns the March 28, 2016 Board Meeting a_ _ PM.”
