BOARD APPROVAL FOR ASSESSMENT TO REPAIR AND REFURBISH
ELEVATORS
MOTION 1: Marcum (Loarie) moved
(seconded) to approve a special assessment to repair and refurbish
elevators (excluding cosmetics). The total amount of this special
assessment including an 8% contingency is 1.7 million dollars less
the amount ($515K) in the reserve budget for the elevators. Unit
Owners may pay this assessment in six monthly installments
beginning June 1, 2006, and ending December 1, 2006. Passed
unanimously.
Note
1: The special
assessment was increased to $ 1.7 million form $1.5 million (in
Motion 2 of the minutes of the regular meeting of January 18, 2006)
because of a price increase from Otis Elevator. The price in the
proposal from Otis Elevator was valid for 30 days, (November, 2005)
and the 30 days had expired.
Note
2: In motion 7 of the
(11/30/05) meeting, the Board approved acceptance of the Otis
Elevator bid and authorized up to $ 1,150,000 to cover the $ 1,
133,000 bid from Otis Elevator.
Note
3: There was discussion
about the need for a default provision in the contract with Otis
Elevator to protect Plaza East from another (labor cost) price
increase in the event that Otis Elevator does not complete the work
before the end of 2006, and is not prevented from achieving the
2006 completion date because of a free majeure. The force majeure
provision in the contract protects Otis
Elevator.

Inspections, Inc., at a cost not to exceed $10,000. Passed
