3 CONDITION ASSESSMENT Building System ADA Compliance Conveying Systems Electrical Exterior Finish HVAC Interior Finish Plumbing Roof Structure Technology 2008 Rating Unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory Fair Fair Condition Assessment The body of information summarized below is based on a detailed facility condition assessment completed in 2006 and updated by visual observations conducted in Improvement initiatives completed by OPEFM in 2007 and 2008 are noted in red text in each section. An overall summary of work completed under various OPEFM programs is provided at the end of the condition assessment. Condition Scorecard These ratings reflect the overall condition and level of replacement need for an entire system, in adherence with the Facility Condition Index (FCI) System, categorizing systems as Good (FCI <.25), Fair (FCI ), (FCI ), or Unsatisfactory (FCI >.86). Comments: 1 Conveying System No elevator or lift. Main distribution panelboard and most other panelboards are beyond useful life. One (277/480V) panel s door is open and without lock. Bare bars and connections are exposed, posing a serious safety hazard. In general no panel door is locked. Wiremold raceways has 2 Electrical been added in classrooms, apparently the work is recent. Most installed wiring seems to be original. Noted some defective lighting switches, apparently due to age. Most of the lighting is in need of an upgrade to a newer, energy efficient system. The fire alarm control should be upgraded. Exit lights are covering the egress points. Windows need replacement. Original stucco needs cleaning but is otherwise in good condition. Brickwork is in good condition. Overall, the exterior is in fine condition and 3 Exterior Finish should last many more years with routine maintenance. 2007: Replaced exterior lighting. 2008: Painted front entry. No major deficiencies were observed. Minor cracking was seen, but is not atypical for 4 Structure concrete framing. The existing hot water boilers and radiators are beyond their useful life expectancy. Most radiators have no way of being controlled and many have no protective covers, risking burns for occupants. The window units have also reached their useful life expectancy. The unit ventilators are also at the end of their useful life expectancy; many are severely rusted and 5 HVAC totally inoperative. A central chilled water system is recommended for this school, because the building is also used for other year-round activities. It is also recommended that a DDC control system be installed, which will allow local and remote control of the equipment : Repairs to boilers and classroom heating units. Installed 20 A/C window units. 2008: Repairs univent (as required) installed roof exhaust. Interior is in basically good condition. The building needs a program of door replacement. Many fire-rated doors opening onto corridors stick, don't close properly, don't latch, etc.; these are life safety issues. The rest of the doors and frames are in good condition, but all 6 Interior Finish need painting. The building also needs a program of VCT and ceiling tile replacement. Some rooms still contain old 9"x 9" tile, suspected of containing asbestos; these present no immediate danger but should be replaced as other floor tiles in the building are replaced. 2008: Paint all interior spaces, custom office counter, replace floor, ceilings (as required).

4 7 Plumbing Most of the plumbing fixtures and their faucets are almost obsolete, and in immediate need of replacement. Some of the electric water coolers should also be replaced in kind, and all drinking water fountains need to be replaced with electric water coolers. The entire water distribution system should be checked for lead solder in the distribution piping and if found to have such, then new piping with lead free solder is to be installed throughout the premises. The gang type lavatories in the children's toilets are to be replaced with standard units, which will last longer and provide a more hygienic environment. 8 Roof 400 SF of flashing requires replacement to stop leaks. Replace membrane in 4 or 5 years. 9 ADA Compliance 10 Technology 11 Grounds Only 2 entries are accessible; all others are inaccessible, including the main front and rear entries. There is no elevator for vertical circulation. All bathrooms lack accessibility features. This issue needs to be addressed with a comprehensive program of improvements. Technology in has been recently installed in most spaces; there are not enough data ports in several spaces. The network equipment needs to be modernized. Most computers are at least three years old. Routers and switches are well beyond "End of Sale" notice. Must be replaced with current network equipment. The entire phone system should be replaced with one that works with the intercom system. Grounds are in fair condition. More attention to litter would be helpful. Planting of street trees/landscaping along Brentwood Parkway would be especially beneficial, as currently the building strangely stands out. 2008: Remove dead tree at front entry, replace concrete walk way at front entry.
