The Clubhouse Rebuild Project

 Clubhouse Project Update

As shared earlier this summer, the Clubhouse Rebuild Team continues to make steady progress on the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and code-compliant drawings. We're working closely with North Shore, the design architect, to prepare the final documents that will be used to solicit construction bids. The team has been diligently refining every detail-from proper drainage to outlet placement-to ensure the design meets our community's goals.

We remain on track to finalize the Request for Proposal (RFP) documents by October 1st, with the competitive bidding process for Construction expected to conclude in November. This timeline will allow the Clubhouse Rebuild Team and Board to review bids and negotiate a final contract in December.  The goal is for Construction work to begin on the clubhouse early next year.

As we continue to prepare the clubhouse for the project, there has been quite a bit of other work going on as well.  Trees and shrubs around the exterior have been removed thanks to a group of volunteers.  The inside has been cleaned out and the required asbestos remediation is scheduled to start shortly.  The restaurant's grease pit will also be pumped out and filled in.

Another key milestone will be sharing the design documents and financial models with lenders to begin the process of securing a construction loan. The loan application phase will run in parallel with Construction contractor selection, and the loan proceeds will be used only as construction progresses. Encouragingly, current trends suggest interest rates may continue to decline, potentially lowering the overall cost of the project.

We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.
