3 Detailed Evaluation Performed in 2015 Engineering Evaluation Site/Civil Architectural Structural Mechanical Plumbing Electrical Code Compliance Review International Building Code Life Safety Code ADA Requirements

4 Site Assessment Site traffic challenges from Washington Street Site circulation for traffic 30 feet of grade change from top to bottom

5 Site Assessment Challenge with grade change and accessibility Deteriorated pavement and sidewalks beyond repair Accessibility is not compliant with Code requirements

6 Site Assessment (continued) Storm water drainage is not compliant with development regulations Storm drain and sewer manhole tops Handicapped parking is not within regulations

7 Building Exterior Roof slopes not sufficient to drain Potential failure of structure Water is penetrating roof parapets allowing water to infiltrate building

8 Building Exterior Exterior Stairs are deteriorated and failing Brick veneer has cracked and moved on portions of the building No permanent access to roof and roof equipment as required by Code

9 Building Interior Significant water infiltration and mold growth was found on the top floor

10 Building Interior Stairs do not have Code compliant guardrail and handrails Existing elevator operation and signage is not Code compliant

11 Energy Code Compliance Roof insulation does not meet Code Insulated windows do not meet Code

12 Structural Evaluation Exterior stair structure is extremely deteriorated Brick veneer does not have relief joints at floor levels or expansion joints

13 Structural Evaluation Modifications to interior masonry walls will be costly and difficult Openings in the floor slab will require additional structural reinforcement Placement of floor openings would need to be evaluated and limited to areas between joist ribs and beams Large floor openings would be costly

14 Structural Evaluation Façade modifications at exterior windows would require significant structural evaluation

15 Mechanical Evaluation Inconsistent return air to mechanical units Outside air does not appear to balancing dampers to adjust air flow Access to courtroom HVAC equipment is difficult for maintenance and repair

16 Mechanical Evaluation Second floor data room heat load is overloaded with equipment Existing equipment is approaching normal serviceable life span, 20 years Cooling tower installation is non conventional and will cause premature failure of the equipment Ductwork is extremely rusted Water system expansion tank is installed in a location that is problematic for system operation and should be replaced and relocated The HVAC water cooling system does not have a back floor preventer and the water pressure is below the amount needed to operate the system

17 Mechanical Evaluation There is no apparent make up air for the emergency generator inside the building, this is a Code violation HVAC water loop piping is routed across the roof and have a threat of freezing in winter Outside air should have a pre treatment unit to remove humidity before entering the building

18 Plumbing Evaluation Existing piping is pre existing from original construction so galvanized water piping is causing staining in fixtures, sanitary lines are cast iron and recommended replacement would be in order Plumbing fixtures do not meet the requirements for ADA

19 Plumbing Evaluation The current cabinet and hose fire protection does not meet the Code requirement for fire protection. A complete new system with a potential fire pump will be required throughout the building

20 Electrical Evaluation Power pole is located in the parking area is appears to have been struck on numerous occasions, recommend relocation of power pole.

21 Electrical Evaluation Several portions of the building have circa 1960 light fixtures while the remainder have 1990 fluorescent fixtures Power outlets and light switches are not in compliance will ADA height requirements Electrical panels and breakers are at the end of their serviceable life and should be replaced Power generator installation has Code violations, firerated room, ventilation

22 Electrical Evaluation Lighting control systems do not meet Code Fire alarm system is not Code compliant, a fully addressable system is required All data and wiring will need to be removed and replace with a major renovation with structured cabling trays
