Joint mechanical-service contract with two neighboring co-ops
Gathering interestCedar Commons, Linden Court, and Oakview Cooperative together represent 140 units. By bidding our boiler and elevator service contracts as a combined account, we can approach Northside Boiler & Mechanical for a multi-building rate. Participation is voluntary; any co-op may contract independently.
- Demand
- A 15% discount on annual mechanical-service contracts when three cooperatives commit a combined 140 units on synchronized service schedules.
- Value to counterparty
- Northside gains three predictable multi-year building accounts with coordinated service windows — lower dispatch cost, guaranteed recurring revenue.
- Alternatives (BATNA)
- Each co-op contracts separately (single-building quotes run 15–20% higher). We split the contract across two providers if a combined rate can't be reached.
