Hello Patrick,
I am in agreement with each of the 3 points raised in Paul’s email.
Please note I also consider it wise to ensure that once all the plants are taken out that we wait at least a couple of weeks until new plants are put into the boxes to ensure there is no water
 coming through from the new membrane.
Regards,

Craig Laforest

Dear Committee,
 
Please see the below response from Prestech in relation to the approved work to Level 7 to stop any further water ingress to the top level Lots.


Can you please confirm you agree with the below and advise on each matter if you agree?
 
In relation to the plants please confirm if you would like the removed plants taken away and the Owners Corporation then have landscaper quote on
 planting of non-invasive alternate plants when the other rectification work by Prestech is completed?

Hi Patrick,
I have emailed and subsequently spoken to Preservation Technology.
 
1)     
There is no change in cost in regards to the full removal of the plants versus keeping them on site and reinstating them.
2)     
Due to their present work load (busy) they are not in a position to lower their cost.
3)     
Based on contract execution of 15/03/2017, their start date would be early May.
 
Can you advise if we should proceed based on their submitted tender cost of $182,149 (incl. GST) and start date in early May?
 
 
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,



I am happy to be led by you as the Engineer for the project and agree with another contractor completing the landscaping and only the soil being replaced by Prestech.


On the membrane matter, please advise the best option and approach Prestech and advise on their responses so that I can finalise the work and issue work orders for Prestech to undertake the rectification as well as agreement for you to Project Manage the rectifications?

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for your email. My response in
red below:
 
 
I can confirm the Owners Corporation would like you to approach Prestech for the 2 below points but would also like you to confirm that it is necessary
 to remove all tiles from above Unit 602?
 
In relation to my point in the previous email:
1)  
The tender document states:
“Reinstate the existing plants and soil” – This means that if the Owners Corporation would like to have new
 plants placed in the planter boxes it would cost more as this was not included in the tender. We can revise the contract to say, contractor to reinstate the soil, landscaping by other. Please advise? A minor cost saving.
2)  
The Andersal Warranty Extension Clause states: “warranty of workmanship period to 10 years for structural work”. As stated in Tanaz previous email on
 the 8/12/2016, this warranty will not extend to this type of work as it is non structural.
3)  
We have recommended that the tiles to terrace area above 602 are replaced following the flood testing of this area. Although no water leaks were found
 within the unit, water is entering the cavity of the wall and onto the face via the weep holes. The condition of the membrane and age is unknown, but I would suspect it was done at a similar time to the podium over unit 601 which showed water ingress when
 flood tested. It will be a matter of time before it degrades further over unit 602. Water in the cavity wall will affect the durability of wall ties/brick, there is a lot of water entering the cavity, this is not ideal.
 
To address the above we have 2 options:
1)  
Go with the original contract and amend to reinstate the soil only.
2)  
Add the membrane repair over unit 602 as a Provisional sum and put an allowance in for the contractor to lift some perimeter tiles and for us to inspect
 the membrane.
 
1 is the preferred, option 2 would be good if we suspected the membrane to be in good condition however in our opinion it is very likely
 to be degraded based on the flood testing.
 
At this stage, we can contact Prestech  as the preferred contractor and provide a revised Schedule of Prices they can amend easily.
 
 
Please advise on the above and below and confirm when Prestech will be able to confirm if I can execute the contract on the 15/03/2017 ad provide
 financial statements so they can organise the HOWi?
Once the above is confirmed I will get onto Prestech early next week.
 
 
Please feel free to call and discuss.
 
Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
 
Apologies, just been flat out this week.


The Owners Corporation agreed to proceed with Presetech to carry out the necessary repairs and the time for the work to be undertaken has already passed as per the NCAT Orders so if the rectification can be organised as soon as possible.


The Owners Corporation will have the funds in full by 15/03/2017 when the 1st part of the special levy is due.
 
I can confirm the Owners Corporation would like you to approach Prestech for the 2 below points but would also like you to confirm that it is necessary
 to remove all tiles from above Unit 602?
 
 
 
 
Please advise on the above and below and confirm when Prestech will be able to confirm if I can execute the contract on the 15/03/2017 ad provide
 financial statements so they can organise the HOWi?

Hi Patrick,
I called to discuss the outcome of the meeting which took place on Tuesday.

 
My main points taken from the meeting were:
1)     
Any plants re-introduced will need to have non-invasive roots (easier said than done),
2)     
If the committee want to proceed with my recommendation of Prestech they would like to know if they offer 10yrs extended warranty if invoices are paid on time as this was seen as a big positive with the Andersal
 tender. They would also like to see if Prestech are willing to match the Andersal tender price.
 
Can you advise me of the date the NCAT order to fix the leaks into 601 are required to be completed by?
 
Can you please provide me with an update on the outcome and direction the committee would like to proceed in?
 
Kind regards,
Paul

Thanks Patrick.
 
I still do not understand why tiles need replacing. Water can only travel to the edges so I cannot see why the entire area would need replacing.
 
It seems a bit lazy at our expense.
 
It would make more sense to do the obvious work and reseal the borders before just ripping up the entire deck.
 
Also Cathy and I would like to know what Avis pays for its use of the building and signage rights.
 
Would it make more sense to have the meeting on the roof area instead of foyer??
 
Thanks,
 
Ken West
