[200William-EC] LIFT CARPET

Sun Nov 11 22:04:01 EST 2012

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your email.

The EC meeting I referred to was in fact on April 30 at Diana Dennison'
apartment, not in May!!  That makes it almost 7 months since action has been
taken on the items I referred to. 

The point I made in my earlier was that I feel it important that the
decisions we make at the EC meetings, to maintain/better the property,
should be overseen/spread between each of us on the committee and not just
the resident owners.  It would be wonderful if each one of us in the EC
takes on some of this responsibility.

Hopefully, the members of the EC who have not yet replied regarding the
elevator carpets, will do so asap in order that we can finally put this
matter to bed!!

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Craig,
 Im happy to help with any task's that have been requested or assigned in an
EC meeting. There's no mention of the task's you speak of  on the May 30 EC
meeting. The 27 August Meeting brings up the signage that seems to be Rob's
responsibility.  It may have been from the meeting prior to 30 May but that
was before my tenure as secretary so don't have those details.  

If there is a task that you need assistance with your welcome to give me a
ring our drop me an email directly and I will help you out where I can.  I
agree we should not be re-voting on task's that have all ready been voted
on. I would think 3 quotes would be standard way of doing business but as
you can see from my vote I was happy to go with the more expensive carpet on
face value. I think there are 3 people left to vote. 

Matt.

Hello Dave et al,

We can certainly keep looking for cheaper quotes for the elevator carpets.
However, to maintain the luxury quality of the main lobby entrance (and our
building) are we then going to cheapen that overall look.... by using a less
expensive/commercial quality carpet in the elevators?  To save $300-$400?

Have any of the non-resident owners seen the elevator carpets over the past
few months?  They are absolutely putrid with stains which cannot be removed
by steam cleaning.

It's important to note that at the EC meetings we make certain decisions in
order to maintain the building.  At the EC meeting we had at Di Dennison's
apartment 6 months ago (May!!),  we discussed and agreed to:

a)      replace the elevator floors with tile or carpet.  Nothing has
happened to change the carpets in the lifts.

b)       to paint apartment numbers on the car spaces (I have no idea why
this was brought up - I think it would be very confusing and unnecessary)
To date, numbers have not been painted.

c)      a sign was to be made for the William Street entrance to direct
people to our main entrance.  Rob has been busy overseas and it's great that
he is meeting me this coming Wednesday to have this signage matter taken
care of once and for all.

d)     have quotes obtained for new lobby carpet on each floor.  I haven't
seen any quotes to date.

I consider it imperative that all members of the EC share the
responsibility, in a timely manner, on items which have been agreed to at
our EC meetings.  In the past couple of months I have personally taken a lot
of time researching elevator carpet samples/prices to replace the stained
lift carpets.  If the consensus is to now obtain a third quote, for the sake
of $300-$400, or to replace the flooring with carpet tiles etc, I am more
than happy to pass this matter over to someone else on the EC to take charge
of.

As an effective EC, I would simply like to recommend that in future, the
items we have agreed to at our EC meetings, are attended to in a much faster
manner and each of us should assume some responsibility.

Thank you and regards,

Craig

Craig - yes

Rob - Concern over cost

Dave - Check third quote

Shane - yes

Matt - yes

Di - no response

Is it possible to wait till George get the third quote. It may be cheaper
and is only a short delay.

Thanks

George,

I believe we have enough of the votes in to order the carpet so please go
ahead and do so asap.  It will look wonderful and finally our lifts will
look as good as our main entrance does!

Thank you.

Cheers,

Craig

If we are going to go carpet. Im happy to go with commercial grade (which it
appears to be by the spec) It's no use replacing it in 3 years because we
saved ~ $400 

George my vote is for the $1050 option as suggested by Craig. 

Matt.

The $1050 (includes GST) is very reasonable for commercial carpet.  As I
mentioned earlier, level E carpet has kept its appearance very, very well
over the years with an enormous amount of foot traffic. Let's continue to
maintain our building as a luxury-style apartment block E carpet.

Cheers,

Craig

P.S. .   The sample that Matt just sent through doesn't really do the carpet
justice. Again, it's almost identical to the entry carpet on level E.

Hi Rob,

Yes you are correct, it is a lot of money. This blueish coloured carpet is
top quality.

The original red carpet that is in the lift is average quality. But to have
the same red carpet replaced with a better quality came in at $602, by the
contractor with a little information.

I'm still waiting on one more quote but Craig Laforest would like this
addressed ASAP. Once I receive this quote I will send.

Thanks for the costs George

Apart from the first one, which lacks any detail, all seem expensive. 

>From my "novice" perspective, it's 2 small squares of carpets. I was
recently put 110sqm of carpet in an investment apartment and, admittedly
because it's a rental I went low, but the cost was $ 2250 for the whole
thing. How many sqm is this? 

I understand we probably need carpet that is durable, and can take a lot of
wear 'n tear. I am open to suggestions. 

Thanks 

ROB
