1. Desert Point Apartments Hallwav/Staircase Renovation Proiect
Chairman Spiegel asked whether staff had reviewed the information
he'd provided on the Restora product for the Desert Point Apartments
walkway.
Construction Maintenance Inspector James Conway responded staff
had reviewed the information and contacted Restora, which provided
some alternative ideas for floor treatments. He also reviewed the
Minutes of the last meeting where the project had been awarded to
Macklin Contractors, who had already identified a subcontractor for
this component of the project. The City Attorney's office was assisting
in the matter, and staff will approach the contractor to see if they have
the ability to perform the same type of treatments. He added that as
also directed in the Minutes, staff would be coming back to
Member Benson and Chairman Spiegel with a proposal prior to
proceeding with the flooring.
