Refurbishment of Administration Lobby
Upon the recommendation of the Facilities Committee, the board voted to update the Administration Building’s first floor lobby area. The upgrade will unify the area with the newly remodeled Stock Transfer Office and include new directional signage, a GRF logo and new paint for a total amount not to exceed $13,004.02, reserve funding.
Clubhouse 6 HVAC System
The board voted to spend about $42,000 to remove a dozen HVAC rooftop units—in addition to IT rooftop antennas— while Clubhouse 6 is being reroofed and reinstalling them upon completion.
The project cost includes a 20% contingency. In addition, the board unanimously agreed that temporary air conditioning for the first and second floors and will be necessary as the clubhouse will be open during the roof replacement. That is expected to cost $13,500, for a total project cost of $70,190, from reserve funding.
The board authorized funding for the Clubhouse 6 roof replacement in February.
Veterans Plaza Concrete Resurface Upon the recommendation of the Facilities Committee, the board voted to spend up to $39,200, which includes a contingency, to replace concrete at Veterans Memorial Plaza.
Pedestrian Gate Access System Against the recommendation of the Operations Committee, the board voted to send a $318,260 proposal to replace the access system for Leisure World’s seven pedestrian gates back to committee to reassess the plan. As presented, the upgrade included new identification cards that could one day provide access to all LW amenities.
The project has been deliberated for months, with costs whittled down from an original estimate of $462,937. The gates now rely on defunct mechanical card readers that are no longer manufactured or supported. They require daily repairs with makeshift solutions by Service Maintenance to keep them operational.
Sound Equipment Replacement Upon the recommendation of the Member Services Committee, the board approved the purchase of a new portable sound system for Clubhouse 1 at a cost not to exceed $5,187.16, reserve funding.
The sound equipment replaces a defunct portable system and will be used by clubs such as Karaoke and Aloha Ukulele, among others.
