TO: The Honorable City Council;
FROM: Jim Aguilera, Director of Community Development/A�
DATE: January 26, 1993 (CC meeting of 2/3/93)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER A REPORT FROM STAFF REGARDING PARDEE
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY PROPOSAL FOR INSPECTIONS
I spoke with Mr. Dave Geduld on 1/21/93 and discussed with him the
Council's concerns and questions related to the inspection process
and the fireplace extensions. Regarding the question of paint
durability on the proposed metal extensions, Mr. Geduld indicated
that there are other painted metal parts on the house roofs such as
a portion of the flue, the flashing, the water heater vents and
heater vents. He further stated that he saw no difference between
these other painted metal parts and his proposal. His
subcontractor later informed staff that the galvaonized metal was
first washed with an acid solution, then primered, then painted.
Regarding the use of baked -on enamel metal, he indicated that its
use was not feasible since the enamel is applied prior to the
bending of the metal. In such a case the paint would break at the
bend.
When asked if Pardee had used this metal extension methodology
before, he indicated in the negative. He did give information to
staff of those addresses in Moorpark which already have the metal
casing. They are: 3976 and 3975 Woodlake Manor and 4176 Trailcrest
Street.
In response to the question: "Why are you opposed to stucco "? Mr.
Geduld replied that it was a matter of time, money and ability to
control the work. He said that instead of using only one
subcontractor, he would have to use four. Further, he stated that
instead of supervising one subcontractor's work his firm would have
to supervise four. In terms of time; instead of one or two days
work it would take six to ten weeks in order to remove the stucco,
frame and apply the felt and wire mesh, and apply the first,
second, and third coats, and allow for curing time between coats.

Also discussed on this date was the issue of Pardee's cost for
conducting inspections. His response was that Pardee would credit
the City $20.00 per house if the City and Pardee could agree to a
comprehensive plan which would include issues such as repair
specifications, timing of building inspections, timing of permit
issuance, etc. Mr. Geduld also mentioned that the City would be
reimbursed after all work was done.
Mr. Geduld was also asked about the possibility of Pardee hiring
the same party that performed the inspections, to also act as a
contractor to do the work. He indicated that the possibility of
such an arrangement existed only if Pardee could be satisfied as to
the contractor's reputation, experience, insurance, etc. Given
that the most qualified bidder is not a contractor this possibility
seems remote.
Staff Recommendation:
Direct Staff as deemed appropriate.
