Assembly Hall Re-Construction Plan 8/11/18

2. Assembly Hall – Update
I would like to clarify a couple of things, as it appears that the Board did not do a good job of communicating to you, the steps taken and the organizational phases of our plan. I will do that now:
Given the age and condition of Assembly Hall, and our desire to make a recommendation to rebuild the structure, we contacted a local Architect to provide us some direction in addressing this project. 
We requested a perspective of the potential code requirements, a drawing of a floor plan and a rendering of a rebuilt Assembly Hall, which provided a number of deliverables / attributes that members had mentioned over the recent years. 

3. Assembly Hall – Update
During this timeframe, I reached out to an local General Contractor and obtained estimates of what it would take to repair the Assembly Hall.  The estimates were nearly $200,000 but the Contractor indicated that he wouldn't repair but would replace the hall, given its age.  I also contacted a second General Contractor and discussed the project to gain financial estimates, and the estimates were slightly higher, as I conveyed in my earlier presentation.  Again, the contractor mentioned that a building that was built over seventy years earlier, would best be removed and rebuilt.   
Unfortunately, the first local Architect we connected with, was unable to deliver us the package we had requested. Thus, we contacted another local Architect this past spring to provide us some perspective of the floor plan, rendering of the site with a number of deliverables concerning code requirements, storage space and enhancements to the hall.

4. Assembly Hall – Update
Just days prior to the annual June meeting, the second Architect provided us a floor plan and drawings of the site that were beyond what we knew the community/membership required, however we moved along to present the information to the membership.
During the presentation, we mentioned that we would utilize local resources and work through a process to downscale the Assembly Hall approach, as well as work through a number of steps that would include the community, in reviewing and approving our proposals.

5. Assembly Hall – Update
During the presentation in June, members mentioned that any General Contractor (GC) could manage the plans, and build in a more economical cost perspective.  We expressed our approach, that we wanted to own the drawings, which would enable us to quote the project, wanting to negotiate lowest cost, and ensure code compliance. Also, given that the project may take years to get started, assurance that the GC would still be available for the project when approved.  
In our approach, owning the drawings, enables us to quote the specific deliverables, at the time that the park is prepared to move forward with the project. It will enable us to identify the GC, whom will provide the most economical value to the Assembly Members, without significant change orders creating cost overruns. 
I also conveyed that I didn't want to go straight to specific builders, without specific plans, nor did I want any appearance of impropriety.

6. Assembly Hall – Update
Additionally, several members mentioned that we should have another local GC, that works regularly in the park look at the project.  A meeting was held with this GC, and several members of the community, (a meeting in which I didn't participate) and the GC commented that it would cost approximately $300,000 to repair the hall, but wouldn't recommend a repair, but recommended it be rebuilt, given its age. 
Again, a number of General Contractor's and Architects have stated that they believe the best action is to replace, not repair the hall, given its’ age and condition.

7. Assembly Hall – Update
Since the presentation in June, the Board of Directors, still believes that we should replace the hall.   However, we plan to present a stepped approach, with greater detail of how we plan to complete the following steps;

8. Assembly Hall – Next Steps – Begin Fund
Phase One:
Identify the needs of the Hall and ask the Leaseholders to start a fund of $500 per leaseholder, to be used exclusively, for Assembly Hall. If the vote is yes, the assessment won’t be mailed until 1/1/2019 and there will be a 45-day period, in which to pay.
Which brings us to the reason why we are here today.

9. Assembly Hall – Next Steps – Approve Sketches
Phase Two:
Architectural Review Committee, with a couple of Leaseholders, experienced professionals in architecture and construction management, review and assist in modifying existing drawings, in which we scale back the proposed structure, to a one-story building, with a partial basement. (Such as shown on the following slides for example only)
ARC presents sketches / drawings to the Leaseholders, at the June 2019 annual meeting. Vote on whether to again, put $500 per leaseholder, into the fund, to authorize the ARC to open bid a licensed Architect, for review at the June 2020 Annual Meeting.
If this vote is “NO” all fund monies will be returned to the Leaseholders.

Vote again June 2020, to put $500 per leaseholder, into the fund, to authorize the ARC to open bid a General Contractor, for the estimated cost and timing to rebuild Assembly Hall, and deliver update at the review at the June 2021 Annual Meeting.
Board of Directors to present approach of the how much additional money will be needed from each Leaseholder, arrange for financing, for those who choose not to pay, in a lump sum. Present a construction timeline to the Leaseholders.

14. Assembly Hall – Next Step – GC Award
Phase Four:
Board of Directors presents the outcome of the competitive General Contractor bid estimates to the Leaseholders, at the June 2021 annual meeting, with the Board’s recommendation as to which General Contractor to select.
Finalize the details of the Projects Cost and Timing.
Provide detail of how much additional money will be needed from each Leaseholder and provide options for financing, or single lump sum payment.
Ask the Leaseholders to vote on whether to proceed, with awarding the contract, to a specific contractor, and an additional $500 to fund.

19. Assembly Hall’s Current Condition Needs
Entire roof is in need of replacement;
Includes trusses & decking – Truss (increase pitch) & decking has significant areas of soft spots that are identified and both will be replaced during roofing project.
Includes shingle replacement – Shingles are already beyond their useful/expected life, compromising decking, trusses, insulation, interior ceiling tiles and interior fixtures.
Consider longer life roof covering, such as metal roof to reduce on-going maintenance costs, best valued dollar expenditure per square foot installed.
Cost of trusses, decking, roofing material, ceiling and exterior siding work ~$75,000
