With the persistence of our leak issue and following the recommendation of the Building and Grounds Committee, I asked our Owner’s Representative to find us some quotes for the diagnostic work necessary to finally solve this problem. He reached out to a handful of engineering firms, but as this is a pretty specialized field, he only received one concrete proposal. That is included in this month’s packet. It is from Building Technology Consultants, Inc., who previously bid this work for us in the winter of 2023. The new proposal is slightly higher but largely in line with the previous one. This proposal is only for the evaluation of the issue. Whatever fix is needed would be a separate expense and likely completed by a different company. Dan vouches for the reputation of this company and the accuracy of this proposal, so I recommend that we accept it.

Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the Water Leak Evaluation proposal from Building Technology Consultants, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $14,900.
