DIRECTORS
Warren Jones, Travaux Inc.’s Vice President of Construction, stated this was the
second time this item was put out to bid with a slight revision in the scope of work.
Sanchez Painting has been vetted and has performed satisfactorily for Travaux, Inc. in
the past. Mr. Jones noted that Sanchez Painting Contractors Incorporated are a 100%
Minority-owned Business Enterprise (MBE) certified contractor. Mr. Jones concluded
by responding to Directors’ questions about the bid amount and the extensive scope of
work to be performed, to which he assured the Directors that Sanchez Painting
Contractors Inc. has a firm grasp of what is needed on the job.
A motion was made by Kimberly Hurtado, seconded by Grady Crosby, that this
Travaux Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following

3. T280 Resolution authorizing the use of AIA Document A102-2017 for Westlawn
Renaissance V LLC, Westlawn Renaissance VII LLC and Townhomes at
Carver Park LLC
This resolution will authorize management to use the AIA document
A102-2017 as required by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic
Development Authority (WHEDA) as lender and tax allocating agency,
instead of the previously approved A133-2009. This changes the role of
Travaux, Inc. on the contract from Construction Manager to General
Contractor. Both documents, however, requires a Cost Plus with Gross
Maximum Price methodology in setting the contract amount. Investors are
agreeable to this change

Sample Contract A102-2017 for WLR V-WLR VII and Townhomes
Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Assistant Secretary-Deputy Director, informed the Board of
a change in the contract forms as required by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic
Development Authority (WHEDA) that would change Travaux, Inc.’s role from
Construction Manager to General Contractor. Michael Best & Friedrich Attorney
Michelle Ebben, HACM’s counsel on this item, explained that the A102-2017 has the
same liability risk clause as the A133-2009 contract and switching forms will not add
any substantive risk liability. Atty. Ebben added that one difference is that the
predevelopment / preconstruction services are delineated in the A133 and not in the
A102. However, the substance of the content will not change.
Directors discussed the amendments, potential of additional costs, liability risks,
additional licenses, predevelopment / preconstruction fees for services, timeline, and
deadlines. There was also discussion that some Directors felt that Travaux should

retain its own counsel to review and confirm that Travaux is not taking on additional
costs or liabilities, as Ms. Ebben represents HACM, the other party in the agreement,
even though it is the parent organization. Director McCarthy wanted to go on record
that he is comfortable with the change in forms from A-133 to A-102 and sharing
counsel with HACM.
Mr. Aniban stated that it is staff’s intent to provide an edited contract, however there is
a timeline for the approval as the closing needs to take place in early July. Mr. Aniban
indicated he anticipates having the fully edited form with all supporting documents to
WHEDA and to the investors by next week.
Director Hurtado made a motion, seconded by Director Crosby, acknowledging the
request to change the contracting structure for Westlawn Renaissance V LLC,
Westlawn Renaissance VII LLC, and Townhomes at Carver LLC from Construction
Manager at Risk to General Contractor with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and
that staff be directed to engage counsel to make modifications to and then utilize an
A102 agreement so that the liability of Travaux, Inc. is no greater than and its other
right and obligations are consistent with its standard A133 agreement previously
approved by the Board.
Warren Jones, Travaux Inc.’s Vice President of Construction, in response to the earlier
discussion, affirmed that Travaux, Inc. is licensed as a General Contractor with the
State of Wisconsin and has all appropriate insurances in place.
President Hines acknowledged the turnaround WHEDA requested and the timeframe
of the closing, and assured Directors that staff would work diligently to secure counsel
as quickly as possible, and stated that, if needed, the organization will ask for
additional time to postpone closing.

Travaux Resolution be HELD IN COMMISSION. This motion PREVAILED by the
