Mountainaire board postpones fence-staining vendor decision, discusses homeowner pricing options
Summary
The board reviewed revised bids from two finalist vendors and agreed unanimously to delay selecting a contractor until its June 26 meeting so homeowners can consider opt-in deadlines and pricing structures (flat fee vs. per-section).
The Mountainaire board on June 8 reviewed revised bids from two finalist vendors for a neighborhood fence‑staining project and unanimously postponed selecting a contractor until its June 26 meeting.
Neil summarized three vendor items for the board: both Kitsap Brothers and Northwest conducted walk‑throughs with the board’s representatives and submitted revised bids; vendors also provided homeowner pricing options (one offered a flat fee for inside‑fence staining and the other offered per‑section pricing). The board clarified it can share the names of vendors it interviewed but cannot guarantee a homeowner price lock unless the contractor is awarded the association contract and a volume discount applies.
Board members asked that homeowners be given a deadline to opt into inside‑fence staining so the selected vendor can include that work in its schedule and pressure‑wash both sides prior to staining. Homeowner Kiley said she would prefer per‑section pricing for a small internal fence rather than a flat fee.
The board agreed to revisit vendor selection at its June 26 meeting and asked Neil to inform both vendors of the revised decision date.
