sitework SITE CONDITION Installed: 1952, 1960, 1974, 1999

Warranty: N/A

FEATURES & ELEMENTS Description: The site for this facility is irregular in shape and is located in a residential area. The elevation of the site ranges from 1,437’ to an elevation of 1,454’ at the high point.

The site for this facility consists of approximately 19.2 acres located in Unity Township Municipality. The southeastern portions of the site are wooded while the building site has a moderate sparse tree landscaping. No grading or site drainage deficiencies were noted. However, minor settling has occurred in the main bus/entry drive that causes ponding during storm events.

These events are also causing premature erosion at the south portion of the site adjacent to the wooded playground.

The building is served by multiple drives, three off of Unity Road #844 which enter from the north and west of the building. This arrangement allows for a separation of bus and vehicular traffic, however, morning arrival and afternoon dismissals require District personnel to facilitate traffic. An additional entry drive is located to the south and a residential road. Bus traffic must also travel through parking lot lanes causing issues with turning radiuses.

Facility Condition Assessment 2019-2020

Each roadway is marked for two-way traffic with the northern roadway then shifting to one-way traffic upon entering the parking lot area. The site has two asphalt parking lots in fair-to-poor condition and they contain adequate parking for day-to-day operations. A separate drive access site playgrounds. Emergency access drives are limited to only portions of the site. Event parking is limited.

The site and parking lot drainage system consists of sheet drainage to open grade areas and a few catch basins. No indications of the major site or parking lot ponding have been observed, except as noted above.

Asphalt paving is a mixture of heavy-duty and light-duty depths which are showing signs commonly experienced with its age, ie. potholes, rutting, edge cracks, fatigue cracks and alligatoring.

Concrete curbs are in fair condition but have sections of deterioration. Concrete paving sidewalks are generally properly sloped, are located to provide a logical flow of pedestrian traffic, are in fair condition for their age and only have small sections of deterioration or heaving.

building shell EXTERIOR WALLS AND FOUNDATION Installed: 1952, 1960, 1974, 1999

Warranty: N/A

FEATURES & ELEMENTS Description: The original building (11,000sqft) was constructed in 1952 and makes up what is the existing administration area and portions of the 6th-grade wing. An addition (19,000sqft) in 1960 extended the classroom wing along the site. In 1974 a much larger addition was constructed and remains the general building footprint today (99,730sqft).

The overall facility is designed with concrete masonry unit foundation walls on concrete footings, which generally showed no locations of significant differential settlement, cracking or leaking, and are considered in good condition. Only minor issues related to foundation cracking or spalling were encountered. Generally, no grading or site drainage deficiencies were noted around the perimeter of the structure that are contributing or could contribute to the foundation/wall structural deterioration.

However, there are significant signs of leaking below the open grate boiler room access panel causing moisture/water intrusion into the basement section of the boiler room.

The original 1952 and 1960 buildings have a brick veneer on load-bearing masonry wall systems, that display only minor locations of deterioration (approx. 1,075 lf).

Facility Condition Assessment 2019-2020

The 1974 building has a brick veneer on load-bearing masonry wall systems (approx.

1,407 lf) with a mezzanine level consisting of vertical metal wall panels on steel truss stud wall systems (approx. 635 lf). There are large canopies over entrances and are steel construction with exterior soffit and are in fair condition.

Either in renovations or during the 1974 addition, portions of the exterior window system were infilled with an EIFS (exterior-insulated-and-finish-system) which is in good-to-fair condition with only signs of a needed clean.

Facility Condition Assessment 2019-2020

The exterior masonry does not appear to have appropriately spaced or adequately caulked control joints, which are in fair-to-poor condition. Control joints are not provided at all lintel locations, doors and windows, building corners, and/or wall offsets. Exterior walls in the overall building appear to be adequately insulated but would not meet today’s energy and building codes. Brick veneer masonry walls are cavity walls but lack proper spacing or quantity of weeps to allow water moisture to exit the cavity. Lack of proper air space and moisture in the cavity wall has caused the premature rusting of exterior steel lintels, failure of joints and spalling of brick.

The original chimney is in good-to-fair condition. The exterior masonry has not been cleaned or sealed in recent years and has locations of efflorescence.

Window sills are of stone in the two older buildings and are angled brick in the 1974 addition, all are in good condition.

2. Convert the 1950-era wings to a ducted system.

3. Replace antiquated DDC-Controls.

4. Replace and upgrade the existing kiln exhaust system.

5. Repair or upgrade existing boilers burner heads, boiler combustion chamber, and valves.

6. Investigate chemical treatment fluids and flush out the entire piping system and equipment coils.

Benefits: 1. Optimize Energy Performance 2. Replace End-of-Life (EOF) System 3. Improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IAQ) Cost: $2,673,000 or $27/sf

(demo, reconfigure new system, piping, new controls)

1. Conversion of the 1950-era to a ducted system is anticipated to be an additional $8-10 per square foot.

Warranty: N/A

FEATURES & ELEMENTS Description: The electrical system provided to the overall facility is a 277/480-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, underground feed from the transformer to the main switchboard. Power is furnished by the utility company to a utility-owned pad-mounted transformer, located in the courtyard, and is in fair condition. The main switchboard is a Square D fusible board with two main switches, a 1200 amp and 1600 amp. 227/480-volt power is feed to another transformer located in an electrical room where power is converted to 120/208-volt which is distributed to the 1950-era wing.

The 480-volt system handles large loads such as air-conditioning, ventilation systems, motors, and some lighting. It is further extended to multiple 120/208-volt step-down transformers through the 1974 addition and the 120-volt panels serve remaining items such as receptacles and miscellaneous power. The existing main service entrance is in fair condition, although at capacity, it can continue to serve the building with proper service and upgrades.

The majority of classroom or learning areas are equipped with adequate electrical outlets, while the corridors provide sufficient coverage for service. However, adequate coverage of GFI-protected exterior outlets is not provided around the perimeter of the building.

The facility emergency power system consists of two emergency generators. A 1974-era Onan 30kW model within the electrical panel room that is in fair condition.

The 1998 renovation scope included a new Kohler 35kW model which is in good condition.

Both generators are 277/480-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, natural gas models that feed an automatic transfer switch and associated emergency panelboards. The emergency panelboards feed means of egress illumination, lighting of exit and directional signage, fire detection/alarm system, and other miscellaneous system control panels.

Lighting protection safeguards are not present in the facility.

The existing lighting system in the overall facility is typically equipped with T-8, lay-in, 2-by-4 direct fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballast. Fixtures are in fair condition and generally provide the recommended illumination levels of 50 footcandles for classrooms and 20 footcandles for corridors.

Lobby entrances are equipped with lay-in, 2-by-2 direct compact fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballast. Manual toggle dual-level switching is utilized in classrooms while other spaces utilize single-level keyed switching.

Facility Condition Assessment 2019-2020

The Gymnasium space is equipped with pendant metal halide type lighting, in poor condition, providing illumination below the recommended levels. Student Dining, Kitchen and Service areas are equipped with T-8, lay-in, 2-by-4 direct fluorescent fixtures with single level switching and are in fair condition providing illumination levels below recommendations.

The exterior site lighting system is equipped with building-mounted light fixtures and pole-mounted parking site fixtures are equipped with high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. These fixtures are in poor condition and are inadequate in illumination levels due to insufficient fixture capacity and parse placement of fixtures.

Deficiencies: 1. Main switchboard and fusible switch distribution and panels as they have reached their useful serviceable life, 30-40 years 2. Lighting systems fail to meet the current energy conservation codes 3. Verify if site, security and egress lighting meet current code requirements 4. Energy performance of all fixtures and systems is poor 5. Lack of automatic lighting controls Recommendations: 1. Plan for electrical upgrades that include replacement of all equipment and associated feeders 2. Full replacement of all interior and exterior lighting fixtures LED 3. Upgrade or replace 1974-era emergency generator 4. Provide automatic lighting controls for all spaces Benefits: 1. Optimize Energy Performance 2. Replace End-of-Life (EOF) System 3.
