ENGINEERING AGREEMENT PROPOSAL

Following our September 8 Board meeting and the subsequent revisions and clarifications
received from G. Batista, Engineering Agreement Proposal  Legal

I am sharing the documents for review in preparation for our
upcoming Board meeting.

Please review the following:

1. Revised Construction Agreement – Revision 1 dated 9/10/26
The current estimated construction amount is $2,451,820.
I also requested clarification regarding the $96,962.71 in outstanding G. Batista invoices
for work previously performed but not yet paid by the Association due to the lack of
available funds.
G. Batista confirmed today that the $96,962.71 outstanding balance is already included
within the $2,451,820 revised construction amount and is NOT additional to it. This is
good news for the Association, as we do not need to add approximately another $97,000 to
the overall project budget.
2. Revised Engineering Agreement – Revision 1 dated 9/10/26
Engineering and special inspection services are billed hourly. Following my request for an
estimated total engineering cost for budgeting purposes, G. Batista advised that these
services are currently estimated at approximately $180,000–$220,000 over an anticipated
12–18 month project duration.
3. Project Budget & Financing Summary
I prepared this summary so the Board can see the anticipated overall project budget,
rather than looking only at the $2,451,820 construction contract.
Using the upper engineering estimate of $220,000 and a reasonable contingency for
unforeseen conditions/change orders, the projected overall budget is approximately $2.92
million.
For that reason, the recommended financing amount for the Association's accountant to
shop with financial institutions is up to $3,000,000.
This does not mean the Association will necessarily borrow or spend the entire $3 million.
The purpose is to establish sufficient financing capacity for the project, including the
construction work, engineering/inspection costs, and reasonable contingency for
Good afternoon Board Members,
unforeseen conditions. Any final financing terms would still be presented to the Board for
review and approval.
These items will be placed on the agenda for formal Board consideration and approval
at a properly noticed Board meeting.
Please review the attached documents in advance so we can discuss any questions
before taking formal action.
Thank you.
