1. Purpose and Scope
1.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to observe and document readily visible material and system defects, which might significantly affect the value of the property, and determine if conditions exist which may have a significant impact on the continued operation of The Fire Station Two, located at 3115 East Ramsey Avenue, Cudahy, Wisconsin 53110.
This report is developed in general conformance with ASTM E 2018 – 01, Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process. The scope included a site visit, a review of readily available construction documents and visual observations of the following systems components: site development, building exterior and interior, building structure, HVAC and plumbing, conveyance, life safety/fire protection systems, electrical and general ADA compliance. The report identifies physical deficiencies for the building and provides a recommended action and a corresponding estimate of probable costs for each section item.
The information and opinions contained in this report are limited to the following portions of the property:
• Fire Station • Site Paving
This report does not confirm the presence or absence of items such as mold, asbestos, or hazardous substances on this property.
1.2 Statement of Limitations
The information and opinions contained in this report are not based on a comprehensive engineering study or an exhaustive technical review. Materials were not removed and tested.
Since this report is not based on an extensive review of the property and it is not guaranteed that all deficiencies are identified. Based on our professional opinions, data and comments received, as well as information from existing reports, we identified current property conditions and probable costs to correct the deficiencies.
The scope of services provided by The Concord Group for the development of this report does not include design, specifications for the systems, or materials or stipulated procedures necessary for the execution of the work as recommended. The probable repair costs are based on assessed quantities and costs.
1.3 Reliance
This report has been prepared for the sole use of Zimmerman Architectural Studios, Inc. Use by any other party(ies) constitutes use without permission and no reliance shall be assumed.
1. Purpose and Scope…Continued
1.4 Use of the Data Effective age and useful life assumptions are not necessarily exact; therefore, the opinion of probable cost should be used only for conceptual budgeting.
Conceptual opinions of probable cost are provided for each recommendation. Costs are based on The Concord Group's experience with projects of a similar type, known unit costs and historical cost data. Cost information is inclusive of labor, material and appropriate overheads, general conditions and profit, and is exclusive of any local taxes that may be assessed on this project. It is assumed that remedial work will be performed by outside contractors.
The opinions of probable costs are based on certain repair methods conceptualized by our firm and could greatly be affected by the final corrective solution employed. The cost opinions have been assembled for budgetary purpose only and should not be considered as final costs to repair items identified in this report.

The station Serves as fire command unit, for fire suppression activities and other emergency and non-emergency services. It has an apparatus bay for housing emergency vehicles. There is also storage space for equipment. The station contains firefighters’ living quarters and work areas. Adjacent to the station, there is a training camp with a three story training tower.
2. Executive Summary…Continued
2.4 Overall Condition
ADA Compliance:
We have not evaluated the ADA provisions of the building.
Pavement: The asphalt and concrete paving is in fair condition.
Drainage:
Standard roof drainage exists for the building that extends into the underground storm sewer system in the public street. No underground storm sewer or catch basins exist on site as storm water runoff discharges via overland flow into the alley and public right-of-way.
Landscaping: The front entrance and the sides of the building have some grass areas. The landscaping throughout the site has been maintained and is in good condition.
Site Lighting: The site lighting consists of building mounted light fixtures located by
the doors. The lights are in working order and no other site lighting was observed.
Foundations: The foundation system as a whole seems to be performing well; however, there is a separation of CMU backup in the southeast corner possibly related to localized settlement. We recommend the use of a structural engineer to investigate the specific cause and solution.
Structural Frame:
No critical issues with the building structure were found; however, there is a separation of CMU backup in the southeast corner possibly related to localized settlement. We recommend the use of a structural engineer to investigate the specific cause and solution.
Exterior Walls:
The exterior walls of the building are constructed of face brick with CMU backup. There are some minor age related issues. Overall the exterior wall is in good condition.
Roof:
The roof is in poor condition and needs replacement. There is a roof condition report prepared by TREMCO Roofing Co. We will be referring to TREMCO's recommendations regarding the extent of the roof repairs/replacement.
Interior Walls: Most of the interior partitions are in fair condition. There are several CMU partitions that need repair and further investigation to find out the cause of these walls spalling.
Floors: The interior of the building has a variety of floor finishes: carpet and
vinyl at the offices and kitchen, concrete floor at garage. Some repairs and replacement are necessary.
Ceilings: The ceilings consist of exposed ceilings, showing the metal deck. The offices and firefighters quarters have Acoustical Ceiling Tiles (ACT), in bad condition and need to be replaced.
2. Executive Summary…Continued
2.4 Overall Condition… Continued Lighting:
The Interior lighting consists mostly of fluorescent light fixtures. There are a combination of original and renovated light fixtures and light schemes. All fixtures seem in good working condition in all areas. It is advisable to replace the fluorescent light fixtures with LED for energy saving and to benefit from the grants available.
HVAC System The subject property is heated and partially air-conditioned. Several gas fired unit heaters are the major source of heating. One air handling unit provides heating and cooling to the offices area and living quarters via a ductwork system. The unit heaters have exceeded the average life expectancy. The air handing unit is in fair condition.
Plumbing System: The building has one domestic water service. Hot water is provided by electric heaters. Piping is copper branch piping. Adequate plumbing is provided for the various restrooms and kitchen. Waste water flows to the city system. Storm water flows via gravity through roof drains and area drains to the city system. The drainage system needs to be monitored with routine inspections.
Fire Protection System: The subject property is not sprinkled and the fire protection system is provided by fire extinguishers installed at strategic locations. A complete sprinkler system should be installed.
Electrical System: A 120/208V three phase underground line form utility transformer to the exterior wall mounted meter box and to a 400A three phase main distribution panel which provide radial normal power distribution to panel boards located throughout the building. There is a natural gas generator for the emergency power system. The system is properly grounded. The lighting system is composed of fluorescent fixtures, manually controlled. There is adequate branch power distribution to serve receptacles and equipment. There is no fire alarm system and no security system. The electrical equipment is from the original design and it was maintained throughout the years.
2. Executive Summary…Continued
2.5 Recommendations for Further Study Environmental Study:
We recommend the use of an environmental consultant for investigation of any material containing asbestos.
ADA Compliance: We recommend the use of an ADA consultant for investigation of any ADA violations in the building.
Structural Study: We recommend the use of a structural engineer to investigate the possibility of any structural damages.
2. Executive Summary…Continued
Investigation and potential repairs for the Southeast corner settlement could range in the order of magnitude from an additional $25,000 to $100,000.

December 30th, 2017 Mary Jo Lange, PE Director of Public Works City of Cudahy 5050 S. Lake Drive Cudahy, WI 53110 RE: Roof / Wall System Analysis Report for Municipal Buildings Mary Jo: Pursuant to our continued service to the City of Cudahy, Tremco, Inc. / WTI has provided a thorough inspection of the roofs and exterior wall conditions present at the DPW Garage, Fire Station #1, and Fire Station #2. The following services were provided:
Visual Inspections of all roofing and exterior wall related components of the building. Digital photographic confirmation of roof and exterior wall conditions Updated compilation of roofing assets into an Excel spreadsheet along with future recommended
project budgets. Minor maintenance repairs to roof system where required. Cleaning of all drains and gutters so
they are free of debris. See attached maintenance log. Based upon our observations, we’ve included in our report detailed photographs showing the existing conditions, a roof inventory for all individual roof sections present and an executive summary of conditions present. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely,
Erik Krumholz Erik Krumholz Senior Field Consultant
A Subsidiary of Tremco, Inc. PO Box 24 Sheboygan, WI 53082 [email protected]
Municipal DPW Garage - General Observations:
The original building is masonry constructed with brick and block. The walls are in fair condition, the building is in aging condition.
The structural deck is composed of grouted clay tile decking. There are four main roof sections on the facility:
o Sections #1 and #2 are aging built up roofing systems that were not coated with any sort of UV reflective coating or gravel surfacing.
o Section #3 is a ballasted in place EPDM membrane that was part of an addition. o Section #4 is a fully adhered in place EPDM membrane that was part of an addition.
Sections #1 and #2 are the largest roof sections and are in very poor condition. It is recommended to consider a nuclear moisture scan to determine the amount of wet insulation present in the roofing system. After a nuclear moisture scan has been done, there is a possibility the dry areas of the roof insulation may be recycled into a new roof system. The roof membrane defects include: Ridging, blistering, large areas of ponding water, minor splits and alligatoring of the asphalt surfacing. A roof replacement budget has been provided in the long-term roof inventory budget.
Section #3 is in fair condition but is showing some signs of deterioration and aging. It is recommended to consider a roof replacement in 4-5 years with the existing insulation being recycled into a new roof. This roof can also be part of the nuclear scan to ensure there is no wet insulation.
Section #4 is in fair – good condition and shall require little or no service work in the next couple of year.
Access to Roofs #1, #2 and #3 requires a double ladder application or use of a motorized lift. It is recommended to consider installation of an interior access hatch or exterior caged ladder with locking bottom mechanism to provide for fixed access.
Fire Station #1 – General Observations:
The main roof is in overall fair – good condition. Minor repairs to perimeter flashing laps and sealing around a vent pipe was provided during the inspection. Debris and leaves were removed from the internal drains.
Fire Station #2 – General Observation:
All three sections of roof are sloped roof systems consisting of asbestos tile shingles. Many of the tiles are breaking and / or are cracked. The tiles must be replaced with a new roof system. Hand removal and proper disposal of the asbestos containing tiles can be cumbersome and expensive. A licensed company for asbestos removal must be utilized for the removal and disposal of the tiles shall be required at landfill registered with the DNR.
It is our recommendation to consider either a standing seam metal roof system, metal shingle roof system or an asphalt shingle roof system. The costs will vary. A roof replacement budget based upon a metal roof system has been provided in the long-term roof inventory budget.
