He explained that some of the delay in contracting the job was due to the advanced age of the condominium (and the seawall), which had created insurance difficulties. He also informed the members that while the Association had received bids on "cosmetic" restoration of the seawall, as well as bids covering total repair, it had been opted to go with total repair. Mr LaRuffa concluded his remarks by assuring the members that the Association fully intended to honor this contract for total repair as expeditiously as possible.
