I have now had occasion to inspect the painting of the palisade fence
and perimeter walls, which reveals the following defects: Palisade: 1.
There are numerous smudge marks with green paint spots on the wall -
these require cleaning/removal. 2. The paving under gate 2 is smudged
with green paint spots: these must likewise be cleaned. 3. The
painting generally, was well done. A few areas however, need
attention: there are spots where rust is still visible, especially in
the vicinity of gate 2. One of the vertical bars needs re-painting, as
do several spots where the paint is missing. 4. Attached a few photos
depicting what I have referred to. Patch work on walls This is matter
of grave concern. The walls, simply put, look terrible. I cannot
understand the reason for this futile exercise. The challenge is how
do we deal with it. One the one hand the contractor has caused the
problem, without informing us thereof (I presume?) and on the other,
re-painting will cost many thousands, for which we have not budgeted
in any event. One option would be for the contractor to provide or pay
for, say, 2 x 20iters of wall paint. The CoCT, as the third party
culprit, still remains liable for major repairs to, including painting
of certain areas of the wall. How far has our claim progressed? All I
can say at this stage, is that we have now been saddled, once again,
with a huge problem. I stand by my view that at least 10% of the
contract price must be retained until all patch-up and cleaning has
been done and settlement reached on the liability of the contractor to
contribute to rectifying the blots. It is no solution merely getting
our gardeners to quickly paint the areas. Frits From: peet

I strongly disagree that the full amount must be paid now. If all work
has not been done properly the contractor is simply not entitled to
full payment. It is no argument that an extra or two was done at no
cost and therefore we should overlook shoddy work on the walls. We
have paid expensive school fees in respect of the braai which should
not happen again. My proposal is that in line with general business
practice a retention of 10% of the total contract price be withheld
pending proper finalisation of the work within a time frame to be
agreed upon. I would also like to inspect the fence this morning,
which I will do before 11h00 and repoet back on it. Frits van Oosten

Subject: Re: Welgelegen BC: HRS Customs - Final Payment Hi Peet, I
agree that they should come and paint it, but unless we have a good
relationship with them, payment now, will be no incentive to come and
re-paint. Have we asked them if they will come and do it? Perhaps, if
not, let's just ask them first and get some kind of agreement, and
then pay them. Just a suggestion. I will go with the majority decision
though. Riana _____ From: peet Sent: Friday, May 3, 2024 06:15 To:

BC: HRS Customs - Final Payment Hi Karin I am very pleased with the
work done, however I am concerned about the patchy work done on our
walls. I can only presume that this is a result of them messing green
paint on our walls. ? You notice these patchy blots from afar and my
view would be that they rather send one of their guys to come and
properly clean up don't think it's fair on our workers to now have to
repaint the walls due to the other team's mess? Whats are the thought
of the other Trustees. I will proceed in any event to make teh final
payment. Regards PEET JANSEN VAN RENSBURG CA(SA) CFP Managing Partner

Customs - Final Payment Dear All, A site inspection was done on 25th
April 2024 by myself with HRS Customs. I am please with the work that
has been done, as you can see from attached photos. HRS also replaced
the stop sign outside the gate at no cost. HRS Customs did touch-up
the wall with our paint, however I suggest that we should get George
and Odwa to paint the perimeter fence at a stage to get rid of the
“patchy-look”! See below photos. If it meets with your approval,
can the final amount be settled, thank you. Standard Bank email
