Request for Proposals by January 31/23 or Before Waterproofing of Suspended Slabs (2 Large West Patios) Seapark East, 1350 Vidal St., White Rock

Seapark East is a wood-frame, stucco building approximately 40 years old. Extensive research has been done since 2016 regarding repair of large patios (suspended slabs) in front of building, due to drainage problems, water ingress into building and water leaking through the upper slab.

Strata Council met with 4 different building envelope engineers in 2017. Aqua Coast Engineering from Ladner was hired to do an assessment on the patios - a written report was delivered July/17. Al engineers, more or less, outlined the same process for waterproofing: removal of overburden, repair of concrete slabs, repair of any damage to

building walls, application of waterproofing membrane onto slabs and up the building walls, concrete pavers on top of membrane and finally, landscaping. In 2017, the cost of

this project would have been $250,000 - $300,000. A recent AGM 2022 proposal has put that cost now at $675,000.

The Strata Council wants to know fi there is a viable alternative, at a lower cost, that would effectively deal with the problems noted above (ie water leaking through

suspended slab, water ingress into building, drainage problems). We are asking owners who have explored alternative solutions to submit proposals, written by or with the professionals they have consulted. To make a fair comparison, we need to compare the same technical, legal and financial criteria.

These will be available for reading by all owners and will be followed by an Information Meeting. Council will invite the professionals who have fully completed aproposal and are available to present at the meeting.
