Cove 3C & Cove 3A Bulkhead Replacement Projects Update By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager
Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement Project (910 Linear Feet – Reach 11 & 12)
AS OF JUNE 1ST, 2021, Anvil Builders Inc. (ABI) has informed the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) that they will not be continuing contract negotiations for the Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement Project. ABI has indicated due to the “change in conditions” of the project constructability with current and forecasted drought condition affecting the lake levels, they are not willing to continue contract negotiations and project planning for a postponed project. ABI has recommended that the TKPOA rebid the project in the future when the conditions are favorable for the project construction and completion. On April 21st, 2021, the Cove 3C townhome property owners legally voted in favor of moving forward with this project, contracting with ABI and validating an individual Townhome Property Owner Special Assessment of $76,000 per townhome property. Now that ABI has withdrawn from the contract negotiations and withdrawn their proposal the project cannot legally move forward as voted on by the Cove 3C townhome property owners. The Cove 3C Voting Ballot for the Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement is now no longer valid. As of June 1st, 2021, the $76,000 Special Assessment is no longer required by the Cove 3C townhome property owners since the Voting Ballot is no longer valid. For those Cove 3C townhome property owners that have already paid the $76,000 Special Assessment or a portion of it, this payment will be refunded by the TKPOA Accounting department. On May 18th, 2021, the Cove 3A townhome property owners conducted an “email vote” and it was passed by majority vote as legally required, to agree to fund the Cove 3A 23 linear feet portion of this project, which is currently estimated at $125,000 which includes the bulkhead replacement and required drainage work the Cove 3A portion of 23 linear feet (near Cove 3A Townhome Units 146–149) of the total 910 linear feet of this Cove 3C Bulkhead project. Now that ABI has withdrawn from the contract negotiations and withdrawn their proposal the project cannot legally move forward as voted on by the Cove 3A townhome property owners. Keys Breeze
