In a conversation yesterday, the new Construction Committee Chair, Paulette Watson, explained the plans to paint several buildings. She said that buildings 14, 21, 25, 26, and 44 are scheduled to be begin the painting process in the coming week (perhaps as soon as Monday). She explained that the painting process includes a period of preparation that may take one or two days. The painting contractor is new to us here at TAJ and is named Color-Clad. It is expected that they will complete the painting within thirty days.
Paulette noted that this phase of construction involves a newly written contract that favors the association and unit owners more than contracts that we have used in the past. Some of the contract changes, she said, are that a smaller percentage of the job cost is paid up-front and a greater percentage of the job cost is withheld until completion; there is a process in place to verify the quantity of paint used on each job; and the quality of the paint will be verified and guaranteed by the manufacturer (Benjamin Moore). The manufacturer guarantees their paint for seven years, she said.Paulette went on to explain that unit owners should make sure that their fences are complete, as the painters will be painting the fences at the same time that they paint the buildings. Some unit owners need to make repairs to their fences and some unit owners need to have fences installed. Whichever is the case, the management office has information that can be helpful. The construction committee invites you to contact the office for the name of a man who can do the work of building a fence for you. You can also contact the office to acquire the materials to build or repair the fence yourself, as the Association reportedly has a stockpile of those supplies.
Paulette explained that in some cases, unit owners are missing trellises that were removed and mistakenly discarded during the earlier stages of their building's refurbishment work. Those trellises will be replaced by the Association.
IPQ removed the trelisses to perform the repairs and should have replaced any that
ReplyDelete1) Had permit from the city or
2) Was originally installed by the Developer (as shown on original plans in Building Department)
IPQ performed a walk-through and inspection up front, and was aware of this obligation when they bid.
All trellises need Association and City approval per City code and State Statute - same with fences.
Thanks for the comment. You will have to get the particulars regarding the trellises from the construction committee or someone in charge, as I think there is more to the story than just IPQ's involvement but I do not have enough of the facts to make a clear statement.
