What is on the page

Everything a board needs to vote.

Written in the language of a board packet, so the manager does not have to rewrite a sales brochure.

  • Service. Survey, install, concierge refills and battery changes.

  • Budget line. Operating, not reserves, with the bid-threshold note.
  • Paperwork. W-9, with SDS and IFRA documentation on request.

Questions

Before you add it to the packet.

Can I edit the proposal?

Yes. Print it and fill in the blanks by hand, or ask us and we will send it back filled in for your building, with the monthly figure from our survey.

Does this commit the association to anything?

No. For local associations the proposal asks the board to approve a free 14-day trial, oil included, then month-to-month service. The board can stop it at any time with 30 days' written notice.

Does it need competitive bids?

Florida requires competitive bids when a contract exceeds 5 percent of the association's total annual budget, including reserves (Section 718.3026, Florida Statutes). A month-to-month scenting service is usually well under that. Your manager or association attorney can confirm.

Which budget line does it come from?

An operating line, usually common-area maintenance or amenities. It is not a reserve item.
