5 <br /> • Mechanical: Identify the type of HVAC system and major components, including controls, and <br /> note remaining useful life. This assessment does not include a mechanical capacity study, nor does it <br /> include an assessment of the mechanical system design. <br /> • Plumbing: Determine the type of building plumbing systems including: hot and cold water,gas, <br /> sewer, pneumatic,and mechanical systems. Estimate remaining useful life. <br /> • Fire Protection/Life Safety: Identify any fire protection and life safety systems and provide <br /> estimated remaining useful life <br /> • Structural: Identify any issues related to the structural integrity of the facilities. The assessment <br /> will note significant structural deficiencies and recommend approaches to alleviate. <br /> Integration of the Districts Supplied Facility Condition Data <br /> Data will be collected and structured in the industry-standard Uniformat II system to Uniformat Level V <br /> specifications. In addition to observed facilities deficiency conditions,existing Districts supplied facility condition <br /> data shall be reviewed by the Consultant for incorporation into the Brightly Predictor software for project <br /> packaging and planning.The Districts-supplied data may include any of the following: prior engineering studies, <br /> hazardous materials audits, air or water quality studies,or other related facility condition data. <br /> Deficient Condition <br /> For every deficient condition identified in the audit,a means of correctingthe condition (a correction project)shall <br /> be developed by the Consultant. Each correction project shall entail a detailed description of the methods and <br /> quantities of labor and materials necessary to conduct the work.The estimates shall be based upon R.S.Means <br /> Construction and Facilities Maintenance and Repair Costs data and estimating format. <br /> Each correction project shall be assigned a unique identifier and shall enable correction tracking by the Districts <br /> staff. <br /> Prioritization/Categorization/Classification of Audit Data <br /> Deficiency Priorities <br /> Priority 1 Currently Critical Conditions in this category require immediate action <br /> Priority 2 Potentially Critical Conditions in this category, if not corrected expeditiously,will become critical within a <br /> year. <br /> Priority 3 Necessary - Not yet critical Conditions in this category require appropriate attention to preclude <br /> predictable deterioration or potential downtime and the associated damage or higher costs if deferred further. <br /> Priority 4-Recommended Conditions in this category include items that represent a sensible improvement to existing <br /> conditions.These are not required for the most basic function of the facility;however,Priority 4 projects will improve <br /> overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance costs. <br /> Priority 5 Does Not Meet Current Codes/Standards-"Grandfathered"Conditions in this category include items that <br /> do not conform to existing codes, but are "grandfathered" in their condition. No action is required at this time, but <br /> should substantial work be undertaken in contiguous areas,certain existing conditions may require correction. <br /> Deficiency Categories <br /> Each correction project identified shall be assigned as identified in the RFQ. <br /> Deficiency Classification <br /> Each deficiency shall be classified by the major property components identified for survey in the field. For example, <br /> Design and Functionality,Site, Exterior Systems, Interior Systems, Interior Finishes, Health/Fire/Life Safety <br /> Systems, Handicap Accessibility, Heating,Ventilation and Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Electrical and Service <br /> Distribution,Special Electrical Systems, Fire Suppression,Special Construction,or Vertical Transportation. <br />
