Dear Members

Well, it seems our paving project is complete, although your Board will be on-site today to evaluate the project and develop a list of any open items that the contractor needs to finish. 

We hope the paving project did not present too much disruption to our homeowners, and I appreciate your patience and understanding. Although we had a few unexpected issues to deal with, overall, the project went according to plan. 

Several Board members were active during the process, coordinating traffic flow, garbage pickup, irrigation issues, and coordination with the Club. 

However, two people need to be highlighted. Bob Polizzotto, our Board treasurer, and resident engineer, deserves a tremendous amount of credit. He has worked tirelessly from start to finish on this project. Not only did he write the initial request for proposal we sent to contractors for bids, but he also developed the work scope and specifications for these bids. Bob then reviewed the bids and presented his thoughts and observations to the Board for ultimate selection of the contractor. Bob then worked with the contractor and our outside engineering firm to review, edit, and finalize the contract. Bob also provided our homeowners with daily updates. You may also have seen Bob out on the streets with his measuring stick to make sure the contractor adhered to all the terms of the contract. 

Elvis Gooden Jr., our Club Manager, was extremely helpful and patient during this whole process, despite some disruptions to the operation of The Club and golf course. He was quite supportive and willing to provide the assistance and coordination we needed to complete this paving project in time and successfully. I do know we frustrated him from time to time, but we worked through it. Thank you, Elvis.
