| 0 | 2. | Travaux Resolution | Resolution approving an increase in the Gross Maximum Price (GMP) for the Carver Park Project in an amount not-to-exceed $7.99 million
After the receipt of additional bids for this project, the amended amount of $7.4 million as per Resolution No. T263, adopted on April 14, 2022, is no longer adequate
Minutes note: Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Assistant Secretary, explained that when this item was originally brought to the Board for $7.4 million, there were two contracts that were not bid out yet: internal painting of the units and exterior repairs. Travaux solicited bids, however they were too high, and were rebid with some adjustments to the scope of work. Even after those adjustments, there was still an additional increase of $500,000 in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for this project. Mr. Aniban noted that the project is now 93% bid out and confident that the remaining items will be within the budget. With that being said, Mr. Aniban stated that this increase is being brought to the Board for approval in order to adjust the contract amount and close the deal by the end of July. | ADOPTED | Pass | 6:0 |

| 0 | 3. | Travaux Resolution | Resolution approving an award of contract to Insulation Technologies Incorporated (Milwaukee, WI) for building exterior repairs and painting (TCP-17.1-RB) for Townhomes at Carver Park, in the amount of $981,596.81 (Official Notice 58100)
Minutes note: Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, explained that the official notice for this item was put out twice. On the second notice, Insulation Technologies Incorporated was the lowest responsible bidder. They were also very proactive in inspecting the work to be done to make sure they understood the scope of services needed. Insulation Technologies Incorporated has done work for Travaux in past and performed satisfactorily. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |

| 0 | 4. | Travaux Resolution | Resolution approving a Change Order to Purchase Order WGVI1213 with DJS Construction LLC for drywall (labor only) in Blocks 12, 14, and 17 for Phase 4B Townhomes at Westlawn Gardens Phase 2, in an amount not to exceed $234,000.00
The original contract amount was for $50,000.00. During construction, additional drywall work beyond the original scope was required with an additional amount not-to-exceed $234,000.00, resulting in a new total of $284,000.00. This now exceeds the $250,000.00 threshold requiring Board approval.
Minutes note: Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, informed the Board that this additional work was required because the modular buildings as supplied on a separate contract by Champion Modular Inc. dba Champion Commercial Structures were delivered with much more needed drywall repair and patchwork than originally expected. Since DJS was already contracted for drywall repair and patchwork on an as-needed basis, DJS was authorized to provide as much work as needed for each modular building when it was delivered and set. DJS Construction has done work for Travaux in the past and performed satisfactorily.

| 0 | 5. | Travaux Resolution | Resolution authorizing the use of AIA Document A102-2017 for Westlawn Renaissance V LLC, Westlawn Renaissance VII LLC and Townhomes at Carver Park LLC
This resolution will authorize management to use the AIA document A102-2017 as required by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) as lender and tax allocating agency, instead of the previously approved A133-2009. This changes the role of Travaux, Inc. on the contract from Construction Manager to General Contractor. Both documents, however, requires a Cost Plus with Gross Maximum Price methodology in setting the contract amount. Investors are agreeable to this change
Minutes note: Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Assistant Secretary, let the Directors know that by approving this item, HACM was able to close Westlawn Renaissance V on July 6th, and with that HACM was able to get back the predevelopment advances of $1.6 million and $200,000 in developer fees. Mr. Aniban stated that at the last board meeting, Directors instructed management to acquire an independent counsel for Travaux to review the changes of the contract from AIA133-2019 to AIA102-2017. Travaux hired Donald Schoenfeld, with VonBriesen & Roper, S.C. who met with the Development Committee along with HACM’s counsel from Michael Best, to go through the changes in the contracts. For instance, there is a predevelopment services scope embedded in the AIA133-2019 but not in the AIA102-2017, which was then added to the AIA102-2017 as an amendment to the predevelopment agreement. Attorney Schoenfeld confirmed that the AIA102-2017 obligations and rights between the parties ended up as originally agreed upon in the A133-2019 contract. | ADOPTED | Pass | 6:0 |

| 0 | 6. | Communication | Report from the President
Minutes note: Mr. Hines mentioned that the organization is in the process of securing additional resources for HACM for ongoing activities and projects related to Travaux. With that being said, there was some good news from the State. Mr. Aniban informed the Board that HACM submitted an application to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) for $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for Westlawn Renaissance VII and other affordable housing projects. Mr. Aniban announced that of the $2 million requested, HACM was granted $1.4 million.
Mr. Hines continued by inviting the Directors to a Legacy Tribute for Mr. Pérez on Tuesday, July 19th, which is being sponsored by the Great Lakes Civilian Conservation Corps.
Lastly, Mr. Hines concluded that two individuals are expected to join the HACM Board of Commissioners, and he anticipates having six Commissioners in place by the end of August.
