date for this precinct is 1st Quarter 2010. However, the estimated

3.2 PM Mr. Loh highlighted that in order to expedite the existing lift

PM Loh also informed that he will work closely with the builder and lift
3.3 contractor to put in more resources manpower to ensure the crash
construction programme is adhered to.

4.0 Questions and Answers

4.1 RC member requested that whether the contractor can start work at 9am
instead of 8am as it is too early and have disturbed the residents staying
over at the block.

PM Mr. Loh noted and will inform the contractor to ask workers to start ISSM&E
work at 9am.

4.2 RC member enquired that for Block 612 storeys 7 and 11, whether if there
would be any grilles being installed as there is a big opening over there
and it does pose as a danger to the elderly or resident staying in these
units.

PM Mr. Loh replied that contractor will be installing the grilles for these ISSM&E
storeys.
S/No Items Action By

4.3 RC member feedback for the existing upgraded lift A at Block 627, the
sensor of the lift is very sensitive. The lift door kept open and close which
had caused some problem for the residents using the lift. Moreover, the lift
is just being upgraded and yet the interior of the lift is already rusty.

Also, the voice announcement from the lift speaker is too soft and resident
could not hear clearly which storey they were at.

Chevalier PM Mr. Desmond acknowledged and will inform his team to Chevalier
look into it.

4.4 RC member feedback that the Existing Lift A at Block 604 breakdown
frequently.

PM Mr. Loh replied that the Existing Lift A is still under Town Council Info
maintenance and he will feedback to Town Council about it.

4.5 RC member feedback that the steps at common corridor for the new lift at
Block 612 are too high. This will cause a problem for the elderly and
disabled people who are using the wheelchair.

HDB Mr. Chua replied that there is a budget constraint as this Block is a
huge Block. If the design has to be the same as the existing lift, more cost
has to be added in. This will then be unfair to the residents who are not
staying at the common corridor area.

4.6 RC member enquired that why the material use for the entrance porch
composite panel at Block 601 to 606 is made of metal while for Block 607
to 610 is made of clay tiles.

PM Mr. Loh replied that for Block 607 to 610 the entrance porch has to
match accordingly to the existing linkway.

4.7 RC Chairman Mr. Tan enquired that whether the protection covers inside
the new lift can be taken out to change and put it back after Chinese New
Year.

PM Mr. Loh replied that the protection cover can not be taken down as the ISSM&E
lift has not handover to Town Council yet. He will inform the contractor
to maintain it.

4.8 RC Chairman Mr. Tan feedback that there is no steps/footpath link to the
entrance porches to the roadway/carpark.

PM Mr. Loh replied that he will inform the contractor whether we can ISSM&E
build a footpath to link to the roadway/carpark and also requested RC
Chairman Mr. Tan to provide us with the Block which did not have the
linkage.

4.9 RC Chairman Mr. Tan enquired whether the existing floor tile at the lift
lobby will it be replaced by lift upgrading contractor.

PM Mr. Loh replied that our contractor will only upgrade the portion
which is infront of the lift
S/No Items Action By

4.10 RC Chairman Mr. Tan confirmed that the false ceiling at the upgraded lifts ISSM&E
must be installed. He furthered mention that before the false ceiling is
installed the existing light fitting must be removed.

PM Mr. Loh replied that we will inform architect for this issue.

5.0 Adjournment
