Why Does TICA Intend to Negotiate a Contract with Poirier Custom Homes?
Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 7:43AM TICA will negotiate with Poirier Custom Homes if the Membership votes YES on Saturday, to go with a Sole Source process to engage a new General Contractor.
In yesterday’s e-spokes TICA stated that “The Directors advise that if a majority of the Membership vote "Yes" on the Motion and single source is approved, it is their intention to negotiate with Poirier Custom Homes of Thetis Island to become the General Contractor.”
Here is more information behind TICA’s intention.
Over the past 10 days TICA has had discussions with involved parties about how having Poirier Custom Homes as General Contractor might work. It became apparent early in these conversations that there would need to be a broad range of professional assistance from the community to ensure budget conscious progress with the project.
Changes in design that would create cost savings, and other efficiencies, would need to be explored, as well as creating true projections and construction schedules. It would be more of a community project, getting insight from the public, as required, or desired.
TICA feels that the advantage, of going with the only General Contractor from Thetis capable of taking it on, is undeniable in this case. This is why, if the membership votes to proceed with a Single Source contract, TICA will be proceeding to negotiate a contract with Poirier Custom Homes.
March 28th TICA Membership Motion:
"Be it resolved that the Forbes Hall Expansion Project proceed with a single selection (Sole Source) process to engage a new general contractor.”
