Manager’s Report
Hallway carpet: Shari reported a recommendation for the hallway carpet has been provided by
ProCarpet. The representative from the manufacturer inspected the first floor. Shari will meet
with Keith Brown when he returns to work, March 5th to determine if this is the best course of
action. The following was sent to Shari from ProCarpet via email:
The repair will include carefully pulling up the carpet 18” on both sides of the seam. Applying Tandus C-16
permanent adhesive16”on both sides off seam. We will use a heat tape under the seam & seam seal w/C-56 seam
sealer to fuse the seam together and hold the stretch till the C-16 adhesive cures. This is the recommendation given
by the Tandus Field rep when they performed their analysis and inspection.
