provisions. In the event of a breach or default by the Owner of any payment or term of this Contract,the Owner <br /> shall pay to the Contractor all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by <br /> the Contractor in an effort to enforce its rights hereunder. <br /> ARTICLE 3- <br /> PROPOSAL <br /> SCOPE OF WORK AND COST ESTIMATE <br /> 3.1 The scope of work and cost are as set forth in the Project Plans, Specifications and Bid("Plans") <br /> attached hereto as the Proposal. <br /> Estimated Start Date: TBD <br /> Estimated Finish Date: TBD(estimated at X-X weeks completion) <br /> Special Note: Sunset CG was contacted by Eric Sims(owner)to assess inspection report conducted by <br /> CMT. The following scope of work is developed to address concerns within report. <br /> There are generally three repair strategies to consider(option 1 considered here) <br /> 1-Retrofit Stucco Repair(3'd party warranry available-subject to review) <br /> 2-Complete Tear Off(improve wall design)and install new siding on all sides <br /> 3-A combination of one and two if one elevation is catastrophic and the rest are <br /> performing well. <br /> Option 2 for a house of common size with stucco all four sides will likely exceed <br /> $100K+depending on options. Option 1 tends to come in a 30-40%of a full <br /> redo. And of course option 3 expenditures come in between 1 and 2(approx 50- <br /> 60%of option 2). <br /> Option 1 is ideal for those houses that appear through inspection and engineer <br /> review to be 90-95%healthy. With significant savings for retrofit repair,there are <br /> down sides where by the areas that appears to be dry via report,aside from <br /> maintenance(i.e. CaulWSeal)remain to have design flaws(poly in wall, no dam <br /> sill effort in rough opening of windows, etc.). It is our opinion (backed up by <br /> M WC protocol)that not every house requires a compete tear off and redo. <br /> If the house is ever brought into litigation,there are items lawyers can bring up <br /> that could be considered"not up to code"(far example two layers of 15#felt vs. <br /> two layers of Grade D)when the home was originally built. This could have a <br /> negative impact whether the code in question is valid or not. It is important that <br /> the home owner understand the risk/reward associated with a retrofit stucco <br /> repair vs.compete tear off and redo. <br /> If you wish to invest in exploring liability/code related issue, Sunset CG can offer <br /> a handful of Engineer Level resources and lawyers who specialize in moisture <br /> intrusion litigation. Sunset CG in good faith educates the(current)homeowner <br /> what topics the engineers and lawyers are focusing on,to help make an informed <br /> investment decision and desired repair strategy. <br /> Sunset CG is not responsible for areas outside of our scope of work. <br /> Bottom line,the cost benefit of a retrofit stucco repair does have its trade offs, <br /> and it is the home owner's responsibility to learn what they are prior to deciding <br /> www.sunsetcg.com 753.546.1100 Phone 762.535.9225 Fax mroach@sunsetcg.com <br /> Page 4 <br />
