Background:
The River’s Edge Condo Association has been in existence since 1973. The building is in need of remodeling in its common elements.
Job Description:
- The complete repainting and resurfacing of all hallways. Paint colors will be determined by Association. We will choose a three-color scheme. Hallway walls, door frames, hallway ceilings.
- Removal of wall carpeting on the walls of the hallways. Resurfacing of areas behind carpet. Painting appropriately.
- Ensuring that all hallway walls are smooth and do not show any bumps or imperfections as they currently do.
- Painting of the outside of all condominium entrance door frames in white or other light color to contrast the color of the walls.
- Resurfacing of all hallway ceilings.
- Replacing of all hallway light fixtures with modern light fixtures that the Association will purchase.
- Removal of external cable conduits that are run along the hallway ceilings and hiding the conduits into the ceiling or wall.
- Removal of carpeting from all hallways and stairwell landings and elevator and replacing with commercial grade carpeting of the Associations’ choice.
- Repainting of the main stairwell walls and stairs in same colors as current (white/brown).
- Repainting of main building entrance to color that matches the overall building style.
- Repainting of both foyers (front and side) to color schemes that match those of the hallways.
- Propose a tasteful solution for improving the outside of the side foyer. Currently, walls are covered by old tile and floor is plain concrete. Possible solution could be slate tile but it needs to match the character of the building.

Changes in Project Scope and Price
Any project of this nature may need to change in scope to accommodate the goals of the project. Reasonable changes shall be expected and shall be welcomed by the vendor. The Association will NOT accept price changes for “reasonable” changes in project scope.
Payment Terms
The Association will pay 1/3 of the total cost on the 1st day of the project. The 2nd 1/3 will be paid upon completion of the hallways. The final 1/3 will be paid upon completion of the project and acceptance.
