Dear Ms. Wright,
Thank you for your response. We understand your point that the documentation pertaining to each project is available to residents under “Projects,” and we appreciate that clarification.
However, our question was specifically about the contracts. We believe that contracts should also be posted in BuildingLink’s Contracts section, where an owner would naturally look when seeking to review the Association’s contracts.
We are not suggesting that project documentation should not be maintained under “Projects.” Rather, we believe the contract itself should be readily identifiable and accessible in the Contracts section as well. This would make it considerably easier for owners to locate the Association’s contracts without having to search through individual project folders.
If contracts for major projects are being maintained under “Projects” rather than also being posted under “Contracts,” could you please explain the reason for that practice?
We have now located the Techno IP proposal for the “Vestibules Cameras” project under “Security Cameras Surveillance Project.” The proposal calls for one camera per floor in the elevator/trash hallway area, together with a 64-channel NVR and associated equipment and installation, for a total of $43,354.26.
The Association’s records also show an invoice dated August 19, 2026, in the amount of $22,310, describing the initial labor and materials for a new 64-channel server and one camera per floor at the elevator/trash hallway area. We therefore understand this to be the camera project referenced in the Weekly Report.
Please post the complete contract/proposal for this project in the Contracts section of BuildingLink, where owners would expect to find it.
Kmedia / Techno IP
We also have a question concerning the name under which this contractor is being identified.
The contracts and proposals that have been posted for this work are under the name Techno IP Solutions. However, the Association’s payment records identify the vendor as Kmedia, Inc. We understand these to be the same entity, with Kmedia, Inc. doing business as Techno IP Solutions.
Why, then, is the current project being identified to owners as Kmedia rather than Techno IP Solutions, the name under which the contractor’s proposals and contracts are presented?
Using a different name makes it considerably more difficult for owners reviewing the Association’s records to connect the payments to the corresponding contracts and proposals.
We have identified three Techno IP contracts dated in 2025, totaling $36,529.80, in addition to the newly located $43,354.26 Vestibules Cameras proposal.
Our review of the Association’s records shows payments to Kmedia totaling $162,951.85 during 2025–2026, excluding the three 2020 payments.
Please identify the contracts, proposals, work orders, or other authorizations supporting the payments to Kmedia/Techno IP that are not accounted for by these documents.
Porte Cochere Skylight
Finally, your response does not address the questions in our email concerning the Porte Cochere Skylight.
The 2023 Falcon Phase I Structural Assessment identified limited skylight deficiencies and contemplated partial replacement of damaged panels, with an estimated cost of approximately $2,720–$3,680. The subsequent 2025 Falcon Project Manual called for complete removal and replacement of the Porte Cochere Skylight.
What changed between Falcon’s 2023 assessment and its 2025 Project Manual that resulted in the scope changing from partial replacement of damaged panels to complete demolition and replacement of the skylight?
And, most importantly:
Did Falcon Engineering specifically determine that complete demolition and replacement of the Porte Cochere Skylight was necessary in order for the building to satisfy the requirements of Recertification? If so, please identify the Falcon report, recommendation, or other documentation supporting that determination.
We would appreciate responses to these questions hopefully before, or if you cannot, then during today’s Board meeting.
Thank you.
