Generally, the property appears to have been constructed within industry standards in force at the time of construction. The property appears to have been well maintained in recent years and is in fair overall condition. The roofing membrane and some portions of the deck over the drill floor have failed and in general, the membrane is in very poor condition.
According to property management personnel, the property has had a limited capital improvement expenditure program over the past three years, primarily consisting of floor refinishing, replacement of a large overhead door at the drill floor, interior lighting fixture replacement, minor interior renovations, steam control valve installation, vacuum condensate return system installation, and new PTAC units. Supporting documentation was not provided in support of these claims but some of the work is evident.
According to Regional Management, no changes in force population are anticipated during the assessment period that would affect the adequacy of the facility size and configuration. The current installation size and configuration appears to be adequate to support the force assigned to the installation. Recommendations for maintenance and upgrades of existing systems are detailed in each of the respective sections of the report.
There are a number of reserve items anticipated. These needs are identified in the various sections of this report and are summarized in the attached cost tables. The immediate repairs recommended are provided in the following table:
Report Section Immediate Repair Description
6.3 All active leaks in the roof drain system must be repaired.
6.3 Replace sheathing in the Drill Hall that has been damaged by water intrusion.

The following issue requires further study: There is no insulation in the Drill Hall. New insulation must be installed. The services of a design
professional familiar with local codes, climate, as well as historic structures should be retained to determine the best way to insulate the space. The estimated cost to retain a consultant is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.

As part of the PNA, a limited assessment of accessible areas of the building(s) was performed to determine the presence of mold, conditions conducive to mold growth, and/or evidence of moisture. Property personnel were interviewed concerning any known or suspected mold, elevated relative humidity, water intrusion, or mildew-like odors. Sampling is not a part of this assessment.
There is visible moisture at the northeast corner of the drill floor roof. The affected area is approximately 20 square feet of the underside of the roof.
The moisture appears to be the result of roof leaks. The presence of mold in exterior and interior environments is normal and unavoidable. Exposure to mold or mold producing materials can be hazardous and should be avoided. The presence of mold does not necessarily constitute an exposure. This assessment does not constitute a comprehensive mold survey of the Project, and any conclusions are based solely on conditions readily observable in accessed areas.

Based on the apparent limited extent of mold (less than 30 square feet), the mold can be abated by the on site maintenance staff as part of the property’s routine maintenance program. Such persons should receive training in accordance with OSHA on proper clean up methods, personal protection, and potential health/safety hazards. The cost of this work is not included in the cost tables. The cost to address the apparent cause of the mold is included in Section 6.3.

Cost estimates are attached at the front of this report (following the cover page).
These estimates are based on Invoice or Bid Document/s provided either by the Owner/facility and construction costs developed by construction resources such as R.S. Means and Marshall & Swift, EMG’s experience with past costs for similar properties, city cost indexes, and assumptions regarding future economic conditions. If a structure is listed as a historic structure with a local registry, relevant costs include appropriate markups for maintaining the historic appearance.
11..22..11.. MMeetthhooddoollooggyy
Based upon site observations, research, and judgment, along with referencing Expected Useful Life (EUL) tables from various industry sources, EMG opines as to when a system or component will most probably necessitate replacement. Accurate historical replacement records, if provided, are typically the best source of information. Exposure to the elements, initial quality and installation, extent of use, the quality and amount of preventive maintenance exercised, etc., are all factors that impact the effective age of a system or component. As a result, a system or component may have an effective age that is greater or less than its actual chronological age. The Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a component or system equals the EUL less its effective age. Projections of Remaining Useful Life (RUL) are based on continued use of the Property similar to the reported past use. Significant changes in tenants and/or usage may affect the service life of some systems or components.
Where quantities could not be derived from an actual take-off, lump sum costs or allowances are used. Estimated costs are based on professional judgment and the probable or actual extent of the observed defect, inclusive of the cost to design, procure, construct and manage the corrections.

The Replacement Reserves tables contain opinions of probable costs that include:
Immediate repairs requiring immediate action as a result of: (1) material existing or potential unsafe conditions, (2) material building or fire code violations, or (3) conditions that, if not addressed, have the potential to result in, or contribute to, critical element or system failure within one year or will most probably result in a significant escalation of its remedial cost.
Repairs to remedy physical deficiencies, such as deferred maintenance, that may not warrant immediate attention, but that require repairs or replacements, which should be undertaken on a priority basis in addition to routine preventive maintenance. Opinions of probable costs may include costs for testing, exploratory probing, and further analysis should this be deemed warranted by the consultant. The performance of such additional services is beyond the PNA scope of work. Generally, the time frame for such repairs is within one to two years.
Recurring probable expenditures, which are not classified as operation or maintenance expenses. The replacement reserves should be budgeted for in advance on an annual basis. Replacement Reserves are reasonably predictable both in terms of frequency and cost. However, Replacement Reserves may also include components or systems that have an indeterminable life but, nonetheless, have a potential for failure within an estimated time period.
Replacement Reserves exclude systems or components that are estimated to expire after the reserve term and are not considered material to the structural and mechanical integrity of the subject property. Furthermore, systems and components that are not deemed to have a material effect on the use of the Property are also excluded. Costs that are caused by acts of God, accidents, or other occurrences that are typically covered by insurance, rather than reserved for, are also excluded.
Replacement costs are solicited from ownership/property management, EMG’s discussions with service companies, manufacturers' representatives, and previous experience in preparing such schedules for other similar facilities. Costs for work performed by the ownership’s or property management’s maintenance staff are also considered.
EMG’s reserve methodology involves identification and quantification of those systems or components requiring capital reserve funds within the assessment period. The assessment period is defined as the effective age plus the reserve term. Additional information concerning system’s or component’s respective replacement costs (in today's dollars), typical expected useful lives, and remaining useful lives were estimated so that a funding schedule could be prepared. The Replacement Reserves Report presupposes that all required remedial work has been performed or that monies for remediation have been budgeted for items defined in the Replacement Reserves Report.

The purpose of this report is to assist the Client in evaluating the physical aspects of this property and how its condition may affect the Client’s financial decisions over time. For this PNA, representative samples of the major independent building components were observed and their physical conditions were evaluated in accordance with ASTM E2018-01. These components include the site and building exteriors, representative interior areas, and the interior of the building. The estimated cost for repairs and/or capital reserve items are included in the cost estimates presented in the previous section. All findings relating to these opinions of probable costs are included in the relevant narrative sections of this Report.
The property management staff and code enforcement agencies were interviewed for specific information relating to the physical property, code compliance, available maintenance procedures, available drawings, and other documentation.
The physical condition of building systems and related components is typically defined as being in one of three conditions: Good, Fair, or Poor. For the purposes of this Report, the following definitions are used:
Good = Satisfactory as-is. Requires only routine maintenance. Repair or replacement may be required due to a system’s estimated useful life.
Fair = Satisfactory as-is. Repair or replacement is required due to current physical condition and/or estimated remaining useful life.
Poor = Immediate repair, replacement, or significant maintenance is required.
Each building system or component is further identified with the following references if costs or other actions are applicable:
RM = Routine maintenance
RR = Replacement Reserve cost recommended during the evaluation term
22..22.. SSCCOOPPEE
The standard scope of the Physical Needs Assessment includes the following:
Visit the Property to evaluate the general condition of the building and site improvements, review available construction documents in order to familiarize ourselves with, and be able to comment on, the in-place construction systems, life safety, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and the general built environment.
Identify those components that are exhibiting deferred maintenance issues and provide cost estimates for Immediate, Short Term, and Replacement Reserves based on observed conditions, maintenance history and industry standard useful life estimates. This will include the review of documented capital improvements completed within the last five-year period and work currently contracted for, if applicable.
Provide a full description of the Property with descriptions of in-place systems and commentary on observed conditions.

Generally, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination by entities to access and use of “areas of public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” on the basis of disability. Regardless of its age, these areas and facilities must be maintained and operated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
Buildings completed and occupied after January 26, 1992 are required to comply fully with the ADAAG. Facilities constructed prior to this date are held to the lesser standard of compliance to the extent allowed by structural feasibility and the financial resources available. As an alternative, a reasonable accommodation pertaining to the deficiency must be made.
During the PNA, a limited visual observation for ADA accessibility compliance was conducted. The scope of the visual observation was limited to those areas set forth in EMG’s Abbreviated Accessibility Checklist provided in Appendix D of this report. It is understood by the Client that the limited observations described herein does not comprise a full ADA Compliance Survey, and that such a survey is beyond the scope of EMG’s undertaking. Only a representative sample of areas was observed and, other than as shown on the Abbreviated Accessibility Checklist, actual measurements were not taken to verify compliance. ADA compliance issues inside tenant spaces are not within the scope of the survey.
At a National Guard Readiness Center property, the areas considered as public accommodations are the site itself, parking, the exterior accessible route, the interior accessible route up, and the interior common areas, including the common area restrooms.
The facility does not appear to be accessible with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Elements as defined by the ADAAG that are not accessible as stated within the priorities of Title III are as follows:
Parking
The only accessible entrance to the building is through the drill floor, which is now leased to Drexel University. Access may not be permitted through this area depending on the activities taking place at the drill floor. No other provisions have been recommended as the cost is beyond “reasonable accommodation.”
Adequate number of designated parking stalls and signage for vans is not provided. Designate one visitor parking space on Cuthbert Street as van-accessible.
Estimated Cost: 1 @ $220 each = ....................................................................................................... $220
Access aisles adjacent to parking spaces, crossing hazardous vehicle areas, from main roadways or public transportation stops to the building sidewalks and entrances are not provided.
Estimated Cost: 30 ft @ $6.50 LF = ..................................................................................................... $195

Entrances/Exits
Install buzzer or intercom for assistance and service at exterior entrance doors or parking space.
Estimated Cost: 1 @ $500 each = ....................................................................................................... $500
A full ADA Compliance Survey may reveal additional aspects of the property that are not in compliance.
Corrections of these conditions should be addressed from a liability standpoint, but are not necessarily code violations. The Americans with Disabilities Act concerns civil rights issues as they pertain to the disabled and its Accessibility Guidelines are not a construction code, although many local jurisdictions have adopted them as such. The estimated total cost to address the achievable items noted above is $1,155 and is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.

Observations and Comments:
The observed security systems do not comply fully with the Unified Facilities Criteria, UFC 4-010-01. At the direction of facilities management, no costs have been included in the report for upgrades such as replacing standard windows with blast resistant frames and glazing.
Discussion of security issues and some recommended improvements:
− Parking is a major problem at this facility. There is an agreement with Drexel University for 22 designated permit-only parking spaces along Cuthbert Street on the north side of the drill floor. Although parking is regulated, the minimum standoff requirements cannot be met. There is no other on site parking. The two streets on the east and west sides of the RC (N 32nd and N 33rd Streets) are already posted as no parking and concrete k-rail barriers have been placed along the street. Lancaster Avenue in front of the building is now a sidewalk for students walking between various University buildings. The sidewalk is wide enough to accommodate a vehicle, but access is restricted to official University vehicles.
− Exposure along the N 32nd Street and Lancaster Avenue elevations from adjacent high rise buildings could be a threat. Keeping window coverings in good condition would prevent viewing activities and personnel positions inside the RC from vantage points in adjacent structures.
− Trash dumpsters are placed against the northwest corner of the drill floor at the intersection of N 33rd and Cuthbert Streets. They should be moved to the north side of Cuthbert Street to maximize standoff (approximately 8 meters). Boundary lines should be painted on the pavement to indicate where the dumpsters are to be placed. The refuse contractor would have to change their pick-up approach to N 33rd Street, which is a one-way street with traffic flowing north.
The lobby entrance doors are equipped with a call system and electronic keypad to control access through the main entrance. The secondary entrance for the ROTC offices has a call button to which staff must respond individually.
The building does not have any outdoor makeup air units. No single ventilation system shut down is required with the existing configuration.

The heating steam and water distribution systems appear to be in good to fair condition. An abandoned section of steam piping above the gym was cut with a torch allowing a view of the internal condition of the piping, which was very good. ACM insulation was removed from all of the major heating components in the basement mechanical room and basement spaces. Major steam lines and hot water components are now uninsulated which permits significant heat losses, unnecessary expenses, and potentially dangerous contact with hot piping. Steam manifolds, steam lines, the steam-to-hot water heat exchanger, and heated water piping all need to be reinsulated. A cost allowance to replace insulation is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The hot water supply and return lines to fin tube heaters in the restrooms at Rooms 45A and 45B on the second floor have damaged insulation. The lines are not protected from foot contact. Replacement of the insulation and protection of the lines will be required. The estimated cost of this work is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The condensate return piping from the unit heater in the northeast corner of the drill floor has a leak that is causing efflorescence through the north wall of the building as well as damaging the plywood enclosure around the line. The leaking section of the line will require replacement. There appears to be possible ACM insulation on the piping. Samples should be obtained and analyzed prior to initiating any work. Should ACM be discovered, appropriate controls shall be instituted for removal and disposal. The estimated cost of this work is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The steam-to-hot water heat exchanger/converter appears to be in fair condition but based on its estimated Remaining Useful Life (RUL), heat exchanger replacement will be required. The copper circulating line near the heat exchanger looks as if it is leaking and will require replacement in conjunction with heat exchanger replacement. The estimated cost of this work is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.

Observations/Comments:
The on site electrical systems up to the meter are owned and maintained by the respective utility company.
The electrical service and capacity appear to be adequate for the property’s demands.
The main switchgear, most circuit breaker panels, and the electrical meter appear to be in good condition and will require routine maintenance. Three electrical panels are obsolete, two in the basement and one in the first floor corridor, and should be replaced. The estimated cost of this work is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
Interior lighting was upgraded in 2007 to T-8 fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballasts. Some areas were not accessible during the contract execution as some units were deployed. The areas affected were unit storages and arms vaults. A budgetary cost allowance to complete lighting upgrades is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The emergency generator is inoperative and will require replacement. According to DMVA, all RCs should have full emergency generator back up capability as many of the facilities are designated EOC locations. An emergency generator with a capacity of 265 kW to support the rated load for the main switchgear will be required. The generator exhaust must meet current state and city air quality requirements. The estimated cost of this work is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The following code violations were observed during the site visit. The estimated correction costs are relatively insignificant and are considered routine maintenance activities.
− Main busses on the top and bottom of the main electrical switchgear in the basement electrical room are exposed when the panel door is opened
− Abandoned boxes and wiring on the west wall of the old boiler room have not been properly terminated.
− The electrical panel at the bottom of the stairs from the basement to the drill floor has a missing blank where a circuit breaker was removed.
− The kitchen has non-GFCI receptacles at counter height where small appliances could be plugged into the circuit.
− The GFCI cover plate in the fitness room restroom does not cover the electrical box opening.
− Reinstall panel board covers in the electrical room at the drill floor.

Observations and Comments:
The fire extinguishers are generally inspected every month by an employee who is state certified. When the extinguishers reach the age at which pressure testing is required, they are donated to the local fire department and replaced with new units. All of the extinguishers appear to be in good condition. Routine maintenance is anticipated.
The fire sprinklers appear to be in good condition but have not been inspected by a qualified contractor on a routine basis since 1992. The fire sprinklers will require inspection and certification immediately.
Exit sign and emergency light replacement is considered to be routine maintenance.
The pull stations and alarm horns appear to be in fair condition and will require replacement in conjunction with the fire alarm system replacement as noted following.
The central alarm panel appears to be in fair condition, but there is no evidence to suggest routine testing. Equipment testing is not within the scope of a Physical Needs Assessment. In addition, the system only includes pull stations, there are no smoke, heat detectors, duct detectors, or alarm strobes. We feel this is a safety issue and the system should be replaced with an NFPA compliant panel and devices immediately, however, we understand that funding may not be available to accomplish the upgrade immediately. The existing system should be tested and repaired as necessary to provide some measure of fire safety until the entire system can be replaced. A budgetary allowance for testing and repair and the estimated cost of system replacement are included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The kitchen range hood is not equipped with a chemical extinguishing system as required by NFPA 96. Estimated costs for installation of an approved hood and fire suppression system are included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
The exit stairwells appear to be constructed in accordance with applicable codes in force at the time of construction.
The following code violations were observed during the site visit. The estimated correction costs are included in the Replacement Reserves Report (except as noted).
− The fire sprinkler system has not been tested and certified within the last year. The estimated cost of this is relatively minor and should be included in the routine maintenance program.
− The fire alarm system has not been tested within the past year.

The telephone switchgear appeared to be in good condition. The equipment appears to have adequate capacity for current needs but will require upgrade with newer, more modern switchgear as the equipment becomes technologically obsolete. A new PBX or KSU system will be needed during the assessment period. The estimated cost of a new PBX system is included in the Replacement Reserves Report.
Through an agreement with Drexel University, data networking equipment has been installed that provides web access through the University’s main servers. The equipment appeared to be in good condition and will require routine maintenance.

General Requirements from 40CFR280: Tank(s) Meet Requirements?
N/A
· U/G piping must have cathodic protection installed
5. Tanks and underground piping need protective anti-corrosion coatings. Piping should have a dielectric union at the building to limit corrosion potential to buried piping only. Both the tank and piping should have either passive or impressed current cathodic protection.
Find out who is the gas company and check with them about specific installation requirements. It is illegal to service any installation that does not comply with codes.
U/G LP Gas tanks are not considered to contain regulated petroleum material and so are not governed by 40CFR280, however, there are still NFPA 58 requirements as well as local codes.
1. Not under vehicular traffic ways2. Determine Capacity (US Gallons Water Capacity)3. Determine location - clearances for all underground tanks up to 1,000 gal wc are 10' from property lines and structures. ASTs have different clearance limits for 1,000 gal tanks - usually 25' from pl and structures.
4. The top of the tank (fill access dome) is placed such that water is forced away from the dome. No standing water should be visible inside the dome.
NO LP gas tanks
· Spill and overfill prevention equipment must be installed(3) Be closed IAW closure requirements under 40CFR280 subpart G (including corrective actions under subpart F as required). Unless work is underway during assessment, EMG will not be able to confirm.
Tanks installed after December 22, 1988 must comply with 40CFR280.20, Performance standards for new UST systems.
If an UST installed (or was in the process of installation, or had a contract issued for construction) before December 22, 1988 contains “regulated” materials (includes petroleum heating oil - all grades, petroleum motor fuels, jet fuel, used oil, petroleum solvents), it must:
(1) Meet new UST performance standards under 40CFR280.20;(2) Be upgraded according to requirements of 40CFR280.21 paragraphs (b) through (d) listed in bullets following; or· Steel tanks must have internal inspection, then be lined (there are additional periodic inspection requirements for lined USTs) and/or have cathodic protection installed (a follow-up assessment of tank tightness must be performed after installation of cathodic protection within 3 to 6 months following first operation)

This questionnaire must be completed by the property owner, the owner's designated representative, or someone knowledgeable about the subject property. The completed form must be presented to EMG's Field Observer on the day of the site visit.

PNA Physical Needs Assessment, the Purpose and Scope of which is defined in Section 2. of this report.
Physical Deficiency
Patent, conspicuous defects, or significant deferred maintenance of the Property’s material systems, components, or equipment as observed during the Project Manager’s Walk-through Survey.
Material systems, components, or equipment that are approaching, have realized, or have exceeded their typical Expected Useful Life (EUL); or, that have exceeded their useful life result of abuse, excessive wear and tear, exposure to the elements, or lack of proper or adequate maintenance.
This definition specifically excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routine maintenance, miscellaneous repairs, normal operating maintenance, and conditions that do not present a material deficiency to the Property.
PML Probable Maximum Loss
Practically Reviewable Information that is practically reviewable means that the information is provided by the source in a manner and form that, upon examination, yields information relevant to the property without the need for extraordinary analysis of irrelevant data.
Practice A definitive procedure for performing one or more specific operations or functions that does not produce a test result.
Primary Improvements The site and building improvements that are of fundamental importance with respect to the Property.
Project Manager The individual Professional Engineer or Registered Architect having a general, well rounded knowledge of all pertinent site and building systems and components that conducts the on site visit and walk-through observation.
Property The site and building improvements, which are specifically within the scope of the PNA to be prepared in accordance with the agreement between the Client and EMG.
Readily Accessible Those areas of the Property that are promptly made available for observation by the Project Manager without the removal of materials or chattel, or the aid of any instrument, device, or equipment at the time of the Walk-through Survey.
Reasonably Ascertainable Information that is publicly available, provided to EMG’s offices from either its source or an information research/retrieval concern, practically reviewable, and available at a nominal cost for either retrieval, reproduction or forwarding.
Recreational Facilities Spas, saunas, steam baths, swimming pools, tennis courts, playground equipment, and other exercise, entertainment, or athletic facilities.
Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
The consultant’s professional opinion of the number of years before a system or component will require replacement or reconditioning. The estimate is based upon observation, available maintenance records, and accepted EUL’s for similar items or systems.
Inclement weather, exposure to the elements, demand on the system, quality of installation, extent of use, and the degree and quality of preventive maintenance exercised are all factors that could impact the RUL of a system or component. As a result, a system or component may have an effective age greater or less than its actual age. The RUL may be greater or less than its Expected Useful Life (EUL) less actual age.
Replacement Costs
Costs to replace the system or component “in kind” based on Invoices or Bid Documents provided by the current owner or the client, construction costs developed by construction resources such as Means and Dodge, EMG’s experience with past costs for similar properties, or the current owner’s historical incurred costs.

TERMINOLOGY
Replacement Reserves
Major recurring probable expenditures, which are neither commonly classified as an operation or maintenance expense. Replacement Reserves are reasonably predictable both in terms of frequency and cost. However, they may also include components or systems that have an indeterminable life but nonetheless have a potential liability for failure within the reserve term.
RTU Rooftop Unit
RUL Remaining Useful Life (See definition)
Short Term Repair Costs
Opinions of Costs to remedy Physical Deficiencies, such as deferred maintenance, that may not warrant immediate attention, but requiring repairs or replacements that should be undertaken on a priority basis, taking precedence over routine preventive maintenance work within a zero to one year time frame. Included are such Physical Deficiencies resulting from improper design, faulty installation and/or substandard quality of original system or materials. Components or systems that have realized or exceeded their Expected Useful Life (EUL) that may require replacement to be implemented within zero to one-year time frame are also included.
Shut-Down Equipment or systems that are not operating at the time of the Project Manager’s Walk-through Survey. Equipment or systems may be considered shutdown if it is not in operation as a result of seasonal temperatures.
Significant Important, material, and/or serious.
Site Visit

Structural Component A component of the building, which supports non-variable forces or weights (dead loads) and variable forces or weights (live loads).
Suggested Remedy
A preliminary opinion as to a course of action to remedy or repair a physical deficiency. There may be alternate methods that may be more commensurate with the Client’s requirements. Further investigation might make other schemes more appropriate or the suggested remedy unworkable. The suggested remedy may be to conduct further research or testing, or to employee Specialty Consultants to gain a better understanding of the cause, extent of a deficiency (whether observed or highly probable), and the appropriate remedy.
Survey Observations as the result of a walk-through scan or reconnaissance to obtain information by EMG of the Property’s readily accessible and easily visible components or systems.
System A combination of interacting or interdependent components assembled to carry out one or more functions.
Technically Exhaustive
The use of measurements, instruments, testing, calculations, exploratory probing or discover, and/or other means to discover and/or troubleshoot Physical Deficiencies, develop scientific or Engineering findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Such efforts are not part of this report unless specifically called for under Section 2.2.
