Canal Side Repairs/Maintenance Project:
General discussions regarding work on first units:
In meetings with the engineer and the contractor it was determined that: 1) it would be impractical to bid this project, 2) Walt Smelter’s pricing is in the middle of the price range for the Ocean City area, 3) that buying materials in larger quantities could produce significant savings, 4) when structural repair requires removal of internal trim, wall treatments, carpeting, etc. where does the responsibility lie for restoring internal paint, wallpaper, trim items, 5) using the engineer on an as-needed basis only for consulting would also reduce costs and 6) the project is 6 to 8 weeks behind schedule due to weather (the engineer confirmed that nearly all work in the OC, MD area was behind 6 to 8 weeks because of weather).
Motion:
A motion to aggressively proceed with the project through the summer months with the objective of completing the 700 Building by December 2003 was made by Anne Giannelli and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.
Motion:
A motion to rescind the requirement for the contractor to restore internal trim items was made by Frank Dean and seconded.
The motion passed unanimously.
