Board authorizes Bowman to retain RG Architects for gatehouse redesigns; $62,500 design charge discussed
Summary
The board authorized Bowman to retain RG Architects as a subconsultant to redesign two gatehouses, with design and permitting estimated at 12–18 months and a proposed $62,500 upfront reimbursable design cost to be invoiced when financing is issued.
Eric Long presented RG Architects' fee proposal to redesign two gatehouses and related improvements for the River Club, Racquet Center and Golf Club complexes; the buildings will receive facelifts rather than demolition. Long said the main gate has been struck multiple times this year and needs redesign; he asked whether original drawings exist to assist design and noted flood-zone changes may require a new elevation certificate.
Discussion centered on design timing and funding: Mr. Long proposed booking the $62,500 expenditure as a reimbursable up-front deferred cost to be invoiced when financing is issued, with design and permitting expected to take 12–18 months. The Board authorized Bowman to retain RG as a subconsultant under Bowman terms and authorized the Chair to execute documents after counsel and manager review.
