Questions to a Contractor

I am more curious than anything.... but.. at our coming BOD meeting in January, they are going to ask the contractor for plumbing to come in to introduce himself to the BOD and to ask him a few questions... Has anyone had experience with the inviting of contractors to a BOD meeting? If so, what kind of questions COULD be asked to better find out their attitude.... their qualifications... etc?

Alex,
We do it all of the time.
The Direct T.V. rep. came and gave us the scoop of dish, Fiber Optic verses cable so that we could make a more learned decision. Our Lakes and Littorals company came and explained what they had to do and what the residents shouldn't do.

If we are going to have to make a decision on a service company, we usually get them to explain to us what they will be doing and why the charges are such but we are required to do some of this because of our large association income. State Statutes require us to get mulitple bids and this is why we ask them to address the members.

As for the plumber,? it sounds like you have already hired him so his coming to address the meeting sounds a little excessive.----But it never hurts to make personal contact with a service person.

The real issue is: who is this contractor reporting to? The Board or to the MC?

Who will pay this contractor?

Seems like the MC has the job to "get to know" any contractor that does work for the Board, since they hired the contractor.

I see no reason to have a personal relationship with a sub-contractor.
