So, you are telling us that if the $207,000 was approved in the original GM recommendation, the $207,000 would have paid for storm water mitigation, repairing and relocating the playground, building a fence, resurfacing the parking lot and construction of four new pickleball courts.
Yes. Absolutely. Maybe you are finally getting it. If you think otherwise it tells me you never read the RFP Analysis. Maybe board members didn't either. Since Terry revised his proposal, now we will be getting the storm water mitigation necessary to implement the "master plan" along with repair and relocate the playground, building a fence and resurfacing the parking lot. The only thing we don't get for the reduced amount of $150,000 is four new pickleball courts. Ditto for both sentences above. Additionally, Phase One is only one part of the master plan. There may also be storm water mitigation in any Phase Two work up around the existing courts. If you are correct, the two paddleball courts must have been very expensive as they would account for $543,000 of the original bid. If we could get everything done for $207,000 less only the paddleball courts, those were some mightly expensive courts!! The above tells me you are not aware of what is in the original master plan for $750,000, and what part of it was included in the subsequent Phase One Thompson recommended for $207,000. I can only ask again that you read the RFP Analysis. It provides info on the original $750,000 as well as what was included in Phase One as proposed by Thompson. Terry simply eliminated construction of four pickleball courts from Thompson $207,000. So instead of preparing for eight pickleball courts and actually constructing four as was proposed in the $207,000, Terry's motion just eliminates the four new courts. All other work is exactly as proposed by Thompson as Phase One for $207,000. Perhaps this info given to the board by Thompson will help you: The original project was: Site work, courts, moving playground, et. $524,080 Power and lighting to all courts and clubhouse parking -- $224,480 Total -- $748,560 Read the RFP Analysis. I think it will clarify all your confusion. The thing that every board member should be questioning is the GM's judgment. Last year he told the board this entire project could be completed for $250,000. The price ended up at $750,000. Electrical work alone was almost as much as he told the board the entire project would cost. Scandal? Absolutely. From any, many angles. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If you disagree then you have not read or not understood the motion, the original $750,000 bid details, nor the two bids the GM obtained for Phase One of the overall Manklin Creek Project. All Terry's motion did was to eliminate the four courts that were to be built now. He states unequivocally that his $150,000 number included all work in the $207,000 bid recommended by the GM, with the exception of the four pickleball courts to be built now in the $207,000. Further clarification of this of this is in the discussion during the board meeting as to where the $150,000 came from. So, you are telling us that if the $207,000 was approved in the original GM recommendation, the $207,000 would have paid for storm water mitigation, repairing and relocating the playground, building a fence, resurfacing the parking lot and construction of four new pickleball courts. Since Terry revised his proposal, now we will be getting the storm water mitigation necessary to implement the "master plan" along with repair and relocate the playground, building a fence and resurfacing the parking lot.
