11 Observations A. ARCHITECTURAL / STRUCTURAL 1. Field review is limited to general configuration of proposed renovation space for purposes of definition of scope of renovation project. (Figures ADM-01 through ADM-20) a) Refer to plan drawings for proposed interior expansion areas. Figure ADM-03 Figure ADM-04

15 Structural framing on column grid lines exists as part of the original construction. Preliminary review of OBC egress requirements indicate that a new egress stair will probably not be required as part of the project. This must be confirmed during design of the project and therefore cost for this work is included in the estimate. Roofing: Willham Roofing Company (WRC) inspection and maintenance was performed on 23 June WRC report indicated no additional concerns to be addressed. Figure ADM-19 Figure ADM-20

16 B. C. PLUMBING 1. The building is served by the following: a) Domestic Water: 3 service from South. Domestic water service includes backflow prevention. b) Natural Gas: 4 from West c) Sanitary Sewer: 6 from North d) Storm Sewer: from North 2. All restrooms are ADA compliant with automatic flush valves on first floor. FIRE PROTECTION 1. The building is fully sprinkled by an 8 fire service. 2. The data center does not have a dry chemical system. D. HVAC Primary heating and cooling is supplied by seven (7) rooftop air conditioning units which are original to the building. The units are in fair condition, several compressors have been replaced. The units are approaching the end of their expected lives and should be considered for replacement in the next 5-10 years. There appears to be sufficient cooling capacity in the rooftop air conditioning units to accommodate a build-out of the shell space in the building. However, we would recommend that the HVAC system serving the shell space be replaced prior to any expansion. Heating is provided by two (2) 1200 MBH boilers which are original to the building. The boilers supply the air handling units, perimeter heating in the lunchroom, radiant panels in the office area and IT area ceilings. The boilers are original to the building and appear to be in good condition. Data rooms are cooled by packaged computer room air conditioning units. One unit appears to be not working properly. CCPL staff reports that this unit should be replaced. The existing air conditioning systems exhibit poor control, with numerous hot and cold spots. Meeting rooms are not able to be separately controlled. CCPL staff suggests VAV controls in meeting rooms.

17 E. ELECTRICAL / TECHNOLOGY 1. Service a) The existing service switch is 3200AS/3000AF with a voltage of 480/277 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire. b) Utility Demand is 550 KW in July of 08. The loading of the 3200 amp service is 24%. The utility transformer is not loaded. With an assumed power factor of 0.9, the overload on the transformer is only loaded 30%. c) The utility transformer is an outdoor pad mounted. d) Siemens Panels are original to the building and not beyond their useful life. e) The internal 500 KVA dry type transformer is 48% loaded. f) There are plenty of spare circuits. Additional lighting panels will be required to serve the proposed expansion space adequately. 2. Power a) Isolated ground and TVSS receptacles are present, but minimal. b) Panel schedules are present and are complete. c) A power conditioning system is not present. d) Building is not wired for cable TV. e) The building has emergency battery units for the life safety lighting; not emergency generator. f) A lightning protection system is present. g) A camera surveillance system is present. 3. Lighting a) Interior lighting uses T8 lamps and LED s. (1) The newer areas have suspended linear pendant type fluorescent fixtures. b) Offices have local switching. Switches need to be replaced with occupancy sensors. c) Exterior lighting seems to be in good condition. 4. Fire Alarm System a) Fire alarm system is in good condition and is a Simplex 4100 system. (1) There are tamper proof covers on pull stations. (2) Height of visual notification devices are not ADA compliant

19 Figure ADM-21 F. Administrative Offices SITE / CIVIL / LANDSCAPING 1. Pavement a) SHORT TERM: Current condition is good. Shows existing crack repair and overlays. Continue monitoring and crack repair and black-top overlays as necessary. b) LONG TERM: No long term needs continue to monitor pavement. 2. Parking a) The existing parking is adequate. No addition needed. 3. Landscape a) The existing landscape is well maintained and adequate. Existing beds have gravel mulch no improvements necessary at this time. (Figure ADM-21). b) This location has incorporated a landscape gravel mulch edge along the sidewalks to combat the salt spray of the walks to keep the grass edge from decaying. (Figure ADM-22). 4. Lighting a) The existing lighting is adequate. No improvements needed. Figure ADM-22

20 Figure ADM-23 Figure ADM-24

21 5. Expansion a) Very limited expansion available at this branch. If expansion is desired, potential western expansion possible but would eliminate walking paths. If possible expansion to the east then a redesign of the existing parking and potential loss of parking would most likely result. 6. Trash Dumpster/Transformer a) There is no dumpster enclosure or screening that exists on this property. The existing transformer is not in an enclosure. 7. Vehicular/Pedestrian Access/Bike Racks a) Vehicular access is adequate without any traffic congestion. Pedestrian access is adequate with easy transition from existing sidewalks and parking areas. Handicap spaces are directly related to the sidewalk. 8. Signage and Wayfinding a) The existing signage is very visible to the public and the entrance to the Administration is easily identifiable. 9. Concrete Walks/Curbs/Ramps a) The existing concrete walks and ramps are in adequate. (Figure ADM- 23). 10. Delivery/Service Area a) Existing delivery and service area are to the south side of the building. 11. Main Entrance Steps a) There was previous discussion in the past about reconstructing the existing steps due to the current condition and cracking. Short term solution is to continue monitoring and step repair as necessary. Long term solution is to redesign and reengineer the steps. (Figure ADM-24). (1) Adjacent walls should be repaired. (2) Bollard lighting should be replaced. (Figure ADM-23)

22 RECOMMENDATIONS The following items are recommended for the proposed scope of work as further defined in the plan drawings. The items are intended to describe the general scope of work to establish a construction cost budget for the project. 1. Architectural a. Second Floor Expansion/Renovation i.
