@Dash who do we use for plumbing at Mesa Gateway?
Dash

Two names appear, and only one is current.

  • Plumbing · the vendor on the current agreement, last used 6 August for a water heater at unit 1B, $610
  • Also appears · an emergency call-out used twice in March when the first vendor could not attend the same day. No agreement, higher rate
  • HVAC · one vendor, agreement current through February
  • Landscaping · one vendor, shared with Camelback Terrace

Use the agreement vendor. The second name is a same-day fallback, not a second option, and it billed 40% above the agreed rate both times.

What about electrical? I could not find anyone last week.

There is no current electrical vendor for Mesa Gateway, which is why you could not find one. The last electrical job there was in November by a vendor we stopped using in January.

I would rather say that than hand you a name from an expired agreement.

Pull who we use for electrical at the other Phoenix properties.

Camelback Terrace and Desert Ridge Villas both use the same electrical vendor, agreement current, five jobs between them this year with no complaints logged. Chandler Heights uses a different one, one job, no agreement.

The obvious move is extending the first vendor to Mesa Gateway. I can draft that request for you to approve.
