7 CIVIL - SITE Introduction This report provides the results of the Civil/Site assessment of the above referenced school performed by Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc. (PKCE) The Civil /Site assessment consisted of: 1) a site visit for a visual evaluation; and 2) a meeting between Weatherford ISD faculty members and PKCE staff, focused on the following items: 1. Paving 2. Surface Drainage 3. Accessible Route / Parking 4. Utilities (no subsurface verified during site visit) 5. Erosion Based on observed conditions, recommended improvements for each of the deficiencies identified have been accompanied with estimated quantities and an opinion of probable construction cost, to be used as a budgetary tool. Site Visit: March 17, 2014 On the above date, PKCE personnel visited Stephen F. Austin Elementary to observe the items discussed above. The table below shows each deficiency found, the photograph number, an estimated quantity, a unit cost, and a construction cost estimate, all based on available construction cost data at the time of this assessment. Items not included in this assessment are as follows: design fees, overhead contractor cost including mobilization, bonding, permitting, on-site job office cost, etc Meeting with Weatherford ISD Staff On Tuesday, April 1, 2014, PKCE personnel met with representatives of the School District s Maintenance Department to learn about any known issues that may not be discovered/visible during the site visit and to gain historical/current knowledge of the site. During the meeting, the following Civil/Site issues were brought up for Stephen F. Austin Elementary: Sidewalks around the building have settled, creating tripping hazards, specifically around southwest area of the building. Existing handrails on multiple ramps throughout the site are damaged and need replacing. Installation of perimeter fencing around playground areas is desired. A new sidewalk route from the south drop-off loop west along Washington Drive is desired. 5

29 ENGINEERING REPORT - MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL / PLUMBING Stephen F. Austin Elementary was built in This facility does not include a fire sprinkler system. The air conditioning systems consists of single zone and multizone air handling units served by two air-cooled water chilling units and two cast iron hot water boilers. In addition, the building also has rooftop a/c equipment as well as splitsystems a/c equipment. The chillers were replaced in The systems and equipment all seem to be in good working order, but after 25 years of service with most of the equipment, some upgrades are necessary in order to provide continued reliable service. Our recommendations for these upgrades are listed below. Building electrical service is 277/480 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire, 2000 amp main PBS switch, served from power company pad-mounted transformer. The building interior lighting system was retrofitted with T8 lamps in the majority of the building, with the exception being the office and main corridor, and cafeteria addition. These areas utilize T12 type lamps. Light levels in the cafeteria are very low, with the lit space appearing to be too dark. Gym lighting is HID type. The building fire alarm system is equipped with an addressable type manufactured by Notifier. It appears to be in good operating condition. MECHANICAL: Provide new fire sprinkler system throughout building in order to improve life safety. In the gymnasium, replace the existing split system a/c units and gas-fired unit heaters with new rooftop a/c units with gas heat. Thoroughly clean and overhaul all existing air handling units throughout the building. This would include (but not be limited to) cleaning the cooling and heating coils to improve heat transfer and replacing inefficient motors and/or drives. Replace existing chilled and heating water circulating pumps with new. To avoid rusting and premature failure, paint all exposed gas piping on the roof. To avoid shutting down large systems of water or gas service during routine maintenance procedures, install service and isolation valves throughout the building. In 6 to 10 years, replace existing kitchen area rooftop a/c unit with a new, more efficient unit. 10 Year Plan: Replace the existing air-cooled condensing unit sections of the Administration split system a/c units with new, more efficient equipment. 10 Year Plan: As the chillers, boilers and circulating pumps reach the end of their useful lives, replace all such equipment with new, more efficient equipment. ELECTRICAL: Replace remaining T12 type fixtures with T8 type. Replace Cafeteria lighting with new energy saving type to improve lighting output. Provide occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices for automatic lighting shut-off as required by the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for effective energy savings. Replace HID lighting in Gym with T5HO fluorescent or LED type for energy savings and east ON-OFF switching. Replace all fire alarm devices throughout building and add horn/strobe lights to all classrooms for code compliance. Provide stage and front of stage lights with all controls. Provide surge protection device (SPD) at main panel. Provide additional parking lot lighting. Replace existing site and wall pack light fixtures with LED type. 27

31 ENGINEERING REPORT - MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL / PLUMBING 1 2 Replace existing light fixtures with more efficient type and provide additional light fixtures. Replace with T8 lamps. 3 4 Replace existing HID light fixtures with T5HO fluorescent or LED type fixtures. Replace all fire alarm devices throughout building. 5 6 Existing chillers installed in Gas piping on roof in need of cleaning/painting. 29

33 ENGINEERING REPORT - STRUCTURAL Further Study is recommended of the corrosion of the floor joists and beams in the crawlspace where standing water, a very humid environment, and corrosion was observed. Based on extent of corroded floor framing members, we recommend that corroded elements be sand-blasted, re-painted, and reinforced with carbon strips. Further study is recommended to determine if the unreinforced masonry will have any net axial tension or excessive flexural tension under code required design wind forces, which is not permitted by the code. Retrofitting new structural components may be recommended. Further Study is recommended to determine if the structural unreinforced masonry has cracked behind wall finishes such as interior coverings and exterior veneers due to foundation movement. Repair of such cracks or retrofitting new structural components may be recommended. Repairing all known cracks in all structural unreinforced masonry due to foundation movement is recommended. If any modification to the Unreinforced Masonry is desired, Special Analysis will be required and significant Architectural and Structural limitations may be required. Further study is recommended to determine the design and condition of the connectors between wythes. Installing new connectors may be recommended after study. Further Study is recommended to determine if there is sufficient lateral anchorage at the top of all exterior unreinforced masonry walls that are parallel to roof joists. Installing lateral restraints may be recommended after further study. Further Study is recommended to determine if installation of new bottom chord net uplift horizontal bridging angles along the ends of the steel joist is required. Installing new bottom chord net uplift horizontal bridging angles along the ends of the steel joist is recommended when an opportunity presents itself such as a building remodel. 31
