Warren Jones, Vice President of Construction, explained that this purchase order was
originally for $211,000, under the $250,000 requirement for work to be brought to the
Board for approval, but these change orders would put the contract total above that

limit, and so it was felt to be wise to bring the purchase order to the Board. The
change orders stem from differences between the architectural drawings for the
building and what was actually found on site. There was discussion between the staff
and Directors about what was learned from that experience and how those lessons can
be applied to future rehabilitation. There are still contingency funds in place for Holton
Terrace that may utilized for other upgrades if not needed.
Mr. Jones answered Directors’ questions about contingencies for other in-work
properties. Most contingencies look solid. Becher Court still has façade work to be
completed, so its final total is less certain at this time, since that will be a big ticket
item. Mr. Jones said staff would provide an update on the work at Becher & Merrill at
the next Board Meeting.
A motion was made by Eugene Manzanet, seconded by James A. Bohl, that
this Travaux Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the
following vote:

Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Chief Financial Officer, explained that HACM submitted

receive funding, with the two 9% awards being fully funded and the 4% application
being partially funded due to the fixing of the 4% rate. The Directors congratulated
Fernando and the team.
Director Wagner asked for more information on these new projects in next month’s
President's Report.
