After a thorough inventory of the sidewalks lining Coto de Caza Dr and Visa del Verde, we were ready
to congratulate the CZ Master Association homeowners’ board for taking swift
action and removing public safety hazards by grinding down uneven concrete
slabs.
Then something happened, which appears to have
no rhyme or reason: A high percentage of the sidewalks on both Vista del
Verde and Coto de Caza drive are being replaced. The problem is that
slabs which we thought should be replaced are not. Some which we thought
were perfectly fine are being removed.
Further, the work has taken months to complete, exposing the
association to additional liability.
After contacting the board via email on March 15, 2012,
looks like the work is finally coming to an end. However, the questions we asked the board then remain unanswered.
 |
| Sidewalk work almost complete after months of waiting................. |
The questions we asked include:
1.
How many slabs are being
removed on Coto de Caza Dr. and Vista del Verde, respectively
2.
How many each, are
being removed for safety, aesthetic or other reasons?
3.
Who reviewed and approved the
replacement and what was the criteria used?
4.
tell us whether
three bids were solicited to get the work done and is so, what was the criteria
to select the current supplier?
 |
| No apparent rhyme or reason - slabs perfectly fine replaced, others right next to those replaced, are not.... |
Now, if the board did not have a
questionable records anent supplier management, an impartial observer may argue
that the questions may be questions searching for a problem. The board’s records shows otherwise however.
For the records, the board never
responded.
