Hurricane Preparation Preparación para la tem-
Dear Members:
At the request of the Board of Directors, this letter has been prepared to
provide to you a status of the window
replacement project and the hurricane
preparation plan of the Association.
Initially I will state that the information
provided for in this letter will at times
be vague as there are pending legal
disputes with various contractors who
have provided services to the building.
Since there are pending legal disputes,
specifics about what has happened and
what is ongoing cannot be revealed in
this announcement to the Association.
The Board’s goal is to reach agreements with all parties so that litigation
can be avoided.
Hurricane Protection of Building
As you know, most of the shutters that
were previously on the building have
been removed and to the Board’s understanding have been destroyed. The
removal of the shutters from the building and eventually off of the property is
the responsibility of certain parties that
we are seeking remedies against. It is
the Board’s position that the removal
of the shutters was against not only the
contractual obligations of certain parties but also in violation of the applicable building code and pending permits.
The Association, through Miami Curtain Wall Consultants, has prepared a
hurricane protection plan which in general has been accepted by the building
department. Unfortunately, since at this
time none of the responsible contractors
are accepting responsibility, the Association might be forced to incur the exContinued on page 2
porada de huracanes
Estimados Miembros:
A petición de la Junta Directiva, esta
carta ha sido elaborada para proporcionar a usted un estado del proyecto
de reemplazo de las ventanas y el plan
de preparación para la temporada de
huracanes de la Asociación. Inicialmente yo declaro que la información
proporcionada en la presente carta le
será a veces vaga, ya que hay disputas
legales pendientes con varios contratistas que han prestado servicios al edificio. Debido a que hay disputas legales pendientes, específicamente sobre lo
que ha sucedido y lo que está en curso
no podrá ser publicado en este anuncio para la Asociación. El objetivo de
la Junta Directiva es llegar a acuerdos
con todas las partes para que el litigio
pueda ser evitado.
Protección contra Huracanes de la
Construcción:
Como ustedes saben, la mayoría de las
persianas que estaban previamente en el
edificio han sido retiradas y para el conocimiento de la Junta han sido destruidas.
La eliminación de las persianas del edificio y, finalmente, fuera de la propiedad
es la responsabilidad de ciertos grupos
que buscan remedios que van en contra.
Es la posición de la junta Directiva que
la eliminación de las persianas estaba en
contra no solo de las obligaciones contractuales de ciertos partes, pero también
en violación del código de construcción y
permisos pendientes.
La Asociación, a través de Miami Curtain Wall Consultores, ha preparado un
plan de protección contra huracanes

penses for the building’s protection during this hurricane
season and thereafter seek reimbursement from those parties responsible. This is a terrible situation that the current Board inherited but the Board’s goal is to protect the
building and seek reimbursement from those responsible
parties. The Board continues to work diligently on this
project.
que en general ha sido aceptado por el departamento de construcción. Por desgracia, ya que en este momento ninguno de los
contratistas responsables está aceptando la responsabilidad, la
Asociación podría verse obligada a incurrir en los gastos para la
protección del edificio durante esta temporada de huracanes y buscar posteriormente el reembolso de las partes responsables. Esta
es una situación terrible que la actual Junta ha heredado, pero que
el objetivo de la junta es proteger el edificio y obtener el reembolso
de las partes responsables. La Junta continúa trabajando diligentemente en este proyecto.
Window Replacement Project
Through the advice of John Medina at Miami Curtain
Wall Consultants (“MCWC”), Mr. Medina’s office is
in the process of preparing certain amendments to the
construction plans regarding the installation of the windows. This process will take at least two or three more
weeks prior to submission to the building inspectors.
Steps are being taken to ensure that permits do not expire. The previous window contractor, as you know, did
not perform and in fact has caused damage to the building and its members. The surety has been working with
us on seeking a remedy. The initial plan is to have a new
General Contractor oversee the project as there are elements of concrete restoration personnel prior to reinstallation of any new window. The prior window contractor
did not have the expertise to perform such functions,
even though such work was contemplated in window installation contract. The obvious result was the deficient
work performed on those windows installed to date.
The window project will not be finished any time soon.
The Board has explained to me that they have received
complaints from certain persons that a previous contract
was almost entered into by the previous Board and that
but for actions of this new Board, the window replacement project would be moving along. Based on the advice we have received from our consultant, if indeed the
project was continued as was previously contemplated,
similar as well as more severe problems would have been
encountered, which should have placed the association in
a position more problematic than in which it finds itself
today. Based on the information received by the board by
Mr. Medina, the recommendations received from certain
contractors which were previously assisting the association were incorrect and were merely providing temporary
solutions that should not have adequately protected the
association. This Board did not want to continue down
this path and therefore are making sure the project is done
correctly.
Once a finalized contract is entered into with the new
contractors, we will inform the members of the timeline
as to when the project will continue and its anticipated
finalization date.
Sincerely yours, Andrew Cuevas, Esq.
Proyecto de Sustitución de las Ventanas
A través de los consejos de Juan Medina en Miami Curtain Wall
Consultants (“MCWC”), la oficina del Sr. Medina se encuentra
en el proceso de elaboración de determinadas modificaciones de
los planos de construcción con respecto a la instalación de ventanas. Este proceso llevara al menos dos o tres semanas antes de
su presentación a los inspectores de la construcción. Se están tomando medidas para garantizar que los permisos no expiren. El
contratista anterior de las ventanas, como ustedes saben, no llevo
a cabo y, de hecho, ha causado daños en el edificio y sus miembros. El fiador ha estado trabajando con nosotros en la búsqueda
de una solución. El plan inicial es tener un nuevo contratista general que supervise el proyecto, ya que hay elementos de las obras
de restauración de concreto requeridos cuando se quitan las ventanas que deban llevarse a cabo por un personal experimentado
de restauración de concreto antes de la instalación de cualquier
ventana nueva. El contratista anterior no tenía la experiencia
necesaria para realizar dichas funciones, a pesar de que este tipo
de trabajo estaba estipulado en el contrato de instalación de ventanas. El resultado obvio fue el trabajo deficiente realizado en las
ventanas instaladas hasta la fecha.
El proyecto de las ventanas no se terminara pronto. La Junta me
ha explicado que se han recibido quejas de ciertas personas sobre
un contrato anterior que casi entro en efecto por la Junta anterior,
pero las acciones de la nueva junta sobre el proyecto de sustitución
de ventanas seguirá en proceso. Basado en el consejo que hemos
recibido de nuestro asesor, es necesario que el proyecto continúe
como se había contemplado, problemas similares o más graves se
habrían encontrado, lo cual hubiera puesto a la Asociación en una
posición más problemática de lo que se encuentra hoy. En base a la
información recibida por la junta por el Sr. Medina, las recomendaciones recibidas de ciertos contratistas que estaban ayudando a
la asociación anteriormente estaban incorrectas y se limita a ofrecer soluciones temporales que no han protegido adecuadamente la
asociación. Esta Junta no quería seguir por este camino y por lo
tanto se aseguran de que el proyecto se haga correctamente.
Una vez finalicemos el contrato con nuevos contratistas, estaremos informando a los miembros del tiempo de proceso, de cuando el proyecto continuara y su fecha de conclusión anticipada.
Atentamente, Andrew Cuevas, Lcdo
