RMI Questioned on $84,000 Light Project

October 27, 2008 by admin.

Pinnacle resident Sonny Sonnenfeld has formally challenged the accuracy and business judgment of Terry DaSilva and Bruno Panek in RMI’s $84,000 “upgrade” to the Anthem Center lighting system.

See this letter for details:  sonny_lutron_ltr.pdf

Note that this very expensive/questionable project was quickly slipped through the board approval process by RMI with very little public exposure to the stated requirements and costs.

And, in spite of Mr. Sonnefeld’s industry expertise, and his careful analysis and research, RMI appears to be ignoring the stated concerns about the over-pricing and element definitions of the “deal”.

The answers to Mr. Sonnenfeld’s questions must be provided now–before the CAM makes very serious contract mistakes.  It could be very embarassing, or worse, if Sonny is shown to be right, and nothing was done before it was too late.

If Sonny is right, and he certainly makes a compelling case for his position, we would be wasting tens of thousands of dollars on this project.  That is intolerable.
