The purpose of this Memo is to provide information regarding a potential upgrade of
flooring finishes in Unit 103.
Background
Unit 103 experienced a significant water leak in early 2026 that has resulted in
remediation efforts being led by Intact Insurance. Intact is responsible for managing the
project using its approved vendors and relating specifically to the elements of the unit that
were impacted by flooding.
All of the unit’s carpet was required to be removed due to the water damage. Staff
requested that the carpet be replaced with laminate flooring as it as more durable, easier
to keep clean, and more aesthetically pleasing. This component of the project comes at no
additional cost as it is directly related to the flooding remediation.
In the interest of facilitating consistency in finishes throughout the unit, Staff obtained
costing from the vendor for the replacement of the kitchen, foyer, and bathroom flooring to
be added to the project, wh
