4 Vision and Purpose Vision Statement The Administration and Support Services will provide a clean, orderly, safe, cost-effective and instructionally supportive school environment that contributes to the school district s mission of educating our children to meet the intellectual, physical and emotional demands of the 21 st century. Purpose The school district has done an awe-inspiring job of strategically and tactically realizing their vision. There have been capital projects to complete the new high school as well as completing component replacement on all of the buildings that were in need of improvement over the last ten years. The purpose of this plan is to perform a facility audit on all facilities to determine any remaining non-routine maintenance issues that need to be addressed within a ten year period of time. The identified needs will have an estimated cost and a suggested schedule of completion. 1 Vision and Purpose Fidelis Management, Inc.

5 Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle Building Information This facility was constructed in Renovations include fire damage repair in This facility has seventeen classrooms housed in 38,667 square feet on 12 acres with a student capacity of 340.

6 EXTERIOR ENVELOPE Exterior Walls The exterior walls are made of masonry. In 2010, the water and frost damaged foundations were repaired and concrete drain spillways were installed to prevent future damage. It does not appear that the exterior walls will need tuck-pointing or caulking within ten years. It would add comfort to the classrooms if spray foam insulation were added to the void behind the metal book shelf units. 3 Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle Fidelis Management, Inc.

7 Roof The roof was replaced in 2003 and is in good condition. Doors Most exterior doors were replaced in 2010 with exception to the far west and far north entries 3, 4, 10, and 11. These doors should be replaced with aluminum entries with security access readers. The secondary interior vestibule doors have been removed in the past. The remaining frames and sidelights should be removed and finishes patched to match surrounding surfaces. Windows The windows were replaced in the 1996 and are in good condition.

8 Cafeteria/MP Room The existing VCT flooring is in need of replacement. The other finishes are in good condition. The lighting should be replaced with more efficient fixtures. Kitchen The kitchen is adequate for its current operation with exception to the existing VAT flooring. The VAC should be removed and slip resistant quarry tile be installed. Nurse There has been noted an issue of finger pinching in the restroom doors. Modifications to the door to chamfer the edges should be completed. Toilet Room Finishes The restrooms were updated in 2003 and are in good working order. However, It would be beneficial to lower the heights of some of the fixtures to better accommodate the revised all- kindergarten student population. The floor drain in the west boys restroom should be lowered if modification to the fixture heights should occur. Individual toilet rooms were added to several west wing classrooms in Corridors The ceilings were upgraded in Floors finishes were upgraded in 2010, with the exception of the gym. It is recommended that the VCT be replaced. The walls have been recently painted. Lockers were added in 2010, but need to have tops installed. Classrooms The classrooms are in good condition. The flooring was replaced in The existing storage door hardware needs to be repaired in some locations. Handicapped Access Handicapped access is acceptable and railings were upgraded in Structural Issues The structural settlement at the southeast corner of the west wing in room 12 was reviewed and corrected in Power & Distribution System Electrical Service, Distribution and Transformer was replaced in 2003 and is in good working order 5 Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle Fidelis Management, Inc.

9 Communication Systems All systems have been continuously upgraded by the technology department and appear to be adequate. Lighting Systems Lighting was upgraded to electronic ballast and T-8 lighting in 2010 with exception to the GYM.

Fire Alarm Systems Entire System appears to be in good working order. Piping Domestic Water, Piping Sanitary & Piping Storm above slab was replaced in 2003 and appears to be in good condition. Pipe Insulation Pipe Insulation was installed in 2003 and appears to be in good condition. Fixtures Sinks, toilets, urinals and water fountains were installed in 2003 and appears to be in good working order. Hot Water System The hot water system was installed in 2003 and appears to be in good working order. Drains The floor drain in the west boy s restroom is at a high point and if renovation were to occur, lowering of the drain would be desired. The roof drains are in good working order. However, on the west side of the northern section of the building, water drains across the walk and pavement areas causing icing issues during the colder seasons. Consideration needs to be taken to add underground storm drains to eliminate the issues. This can be tied into the storm drains being considered along the east side of the property Pumps The hot water circulating pump was installed in 2003 and appears to be in good working order. Fidelis Management, Inc. Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle 6

10 Misc. Plumbing Backflow Preventors have been inspected and appear to be in good working order. Fire Suppression Fire suppression is not present at this facility. Heating Plant The boilers were installed in 1993 and would exceed their life expectancy by the end of this ten-year facilities plan. The recommendation would be to replace with high efficiency boilers. Cooling Plant The chiller system was installed in 2003 and replacement should not be needed within the next ten years. Piping All piping above grade was replaced in 2003 and should be in good working order for another twenty years. Terminal Units Unit Ventilators, Exhaust Fan &Terminal HVAC Units were installed in 2003 and replacement should not be needed within the next ten years. Pumps The two hot water HVAC pumps were installed in 1993 and would have exceeded their life expectancy by the end of this ten-year facilities plan. The recommendation would be to replace with high efficiency pumps, motors and variable frequency drives. The two chilled water HVAC pumps were installed in 2003 and are in good working order. The recommendation would be to install variable frequency drives on these units to save on electrical consumption. There are rebates currently available for the addition of variable frequency drives. ATC System Automatic temperature control systems were replaced in 2003 and appear to be in good working order. Exhaust System Exhaust systems were replaced in 2003 and appear to be in good working order. 7 Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle Fidelis Management, Inc.

The area lies in a relatively flat region. The City storm sewers are inadequate and what does exist has invert elevations that prohibit gravity flow from any point from the site to the city system. It appears that a heavy-duty trench drains and additional storm piping directed to the north could alleviate the issues. Play Areas Play Fields & Play Equipment are relatively new and appear to be adequate. Fidelis Management, Inc. Facility Audit - Early Learning Center at George Earle 8

50 Estimated Cost and Schedule of Completion A supplement will be provided that will provide an estimate that encompasses of all of the anticipated needs for all facilities within the next ten years.

51 Consideration of Alternative Energy In looking at potential reduction in energy consumption, we have investigated the opportunity for the installation of wind turbines. If two of the 100KW turbines are installed, the school corporation could generate approximately $ 50,000 per year under the current NIPSCO buy back agreement. The cost for installation would be around $ 575,000 for each unit. This work could be added to the amounts in a bond issue and could be complete by Solar technology was also reviewed but is not currently cost effective due to the lack of grants or Federal funding at the time of writing. Further analysis should be conducted to determine when it would be feasibly to complete the integration of solar devices. Systems utilizing solid oxide fuel cells were also reviewed. This is a good technology that is being adopted by many businesses and government agencies but is not currently available in the Midwestern and Eastern portions of the United States. A 200 Kw base unit costs about $ 1.5 million and increase from there in 100 Kw increments. This technology will be more available in the next ten years and costs should drop dramatically.
