Scope of Work The scope of work is to estimate the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the Building Facilities and Physical Plant for the Country Club Condominium Hotel. This report is intended to be used as part of decision making on the future utilization of this property. The Study was based on the examination of the property through meetings, interviews and on- site inspections by a team of experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Location and Vicinity Maps, along with aerial views of the property are provided in Appendix A. Country Club Condominium and Hotel located at 121 Banyan Drive, Hilo, Hawai‘i. II. Existing Conditions This Property is currently being used as Condominium/Hotel. It is a six (6) story concrete and masonry structure, which includes the lobby/office area on the front lower level section and a restaurant-bar section currently not in use. The ground floor level under the rear section of the building is utilized as parking. Page 3 The current lease will expire on March 14, 2015. The future use of this property and potential terms and conditions for lease renegotiations will be determined as part of the process with the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources. BACKGROUND INFORMATION : · Name of Property: COUNTRY CLUB CONDOMINIUM HOTEL · Address: 121 Banyan Drive, Hilo, HI 96720 · TMK of Property: 3-2-1-005:020 · Leased Agreement Info: No. 3269 o Lessee: COUNTRY CLUB-HAWAI’I INC. TRUST o Duration: Expires on March 14, 2015 · General Description of Property: o Number of Buildings: One (1) Six Story Building. o Type of Construction: Cast in Place Concrete and Concrete Masonry o Year Constructed: 1969 · Grounds Information: o Pavement & Parking: Asphaltic Concrete o Walkways: Concrete o Miscellaneous: Swimming Pool & Grounds Areas · Utility Type & Construction: o Electrical: Typical Pre-Current Building Code; In need of upgrading o Plumbing: Cast Iron, Copper & PVC o Air Conditioning: 60 ton Trane Chilled Water Unit with Individual In-Room Air Handling Units · Miscellaneous: o Elevators: Two (2), one at the front and another at the rear of this structure. III. Site Visit On March 4, 2014, a site visit was performed by a civil engineer, a structural engineer, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer and Mr. Kevin Aoki, Condominium/Hotel Operator, to assess the general condition of the buildings and physical plant components of the Country Club Condominium Hotel. An interview was first conducted with Mr. Aoki to discuss the history of the property improvements, as well as to gain insight on recent repairs and known issues. After the interview, the site visit and evaluation inspection was performed during which the major building and physical plant components were evaluated. The condition of the major components observed is documented in Appendix B. Page 4 IV. Discussion The structural, electrical and mechanical elements are the most important factors in determining the RUL. The condition of major equipment related to these systems, such as air conditioning equipment, large capacity water heaters, transformers, electrical service components, etc. are also considered, but have less of an impact since they can be replaced with minimal disruption to the use of the building. Items such as furnishings are not considered to impact the RUL. Isolated conditions, including but not limited to the roofing membrane, corrosion of the steel staircase and air conditioning chiller unit, may require repair or replacement to achieve the RUL, but this can be achieved without significantly impacting the current operations and usage of the facility. The primary objective was to inspect and examine the elements of the building structure and physical plant, including the grounds, which are controlling elements in determining the RUL in terms of a range of years. Significant Findings are itemized below (See Appendix B for Element Numbers): · Element No. S 6.a – Steel Stairways were observed with significant rust throughout. · Element No. E 1 – Electrical System, Wiring & Breakers are out dated. Continued use will require the upgrade of this system to meet current codes. · Element No. M 1.a & 2.a – Air Conditioning Water Chiller & the Exhaust Fan System were unsatisfactory and not fully functional. Although not a critical element to RUL, replacement of this element would be required with continued use. · Element No. U 2.a – Boiler System is old and obsolete. Remaining useful life for this would be 2-5 years. Although not a critical element to RUL, replacement of this element would be required with continued use. In addition, we note the items disclosed as part of the Pre-Inspection Meeting w/ the Lessee and our own visual inspection. · No noticeable settlement, erosion nor drainage-flooding has occurred. · There is evidence of Concrete Spalling in various locations including floor slabs, walls, columns and beams. None of which were considered serious and should be repaired with continued use. · The roof is cast in place concrete and there is evidence of leaking and is in need of re- application of roofing. Roofing is under warranty but the building maintenance supervisor is having trouble getting them to perform the corrective work. · Plumbing has been operational with no significant problems with exception of normal preventative and repair maintenance. · Electrical Source by HELCO is satisfactory. The original transformer has been replaced, however, it has not been removed due to its large size. · Water and Wastewater by the County of Hawaii have performed satisfactorily with no significant disruptions. · The facility is partially compliant with ADA requirements. Continued use would require an assessment of this element to current standards. · Elevators were in satisfactory condition. Both elevators are under maintenance contract with Otis Elevators. Page 5 V. Conclusion Based on the documentation available, meeting with the Lessee and the Site Evaluation/Inspection performed on March 4, 2014, the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is determined to be 5 - 8 years assuming the current usage is continued. This RUL is based on deficiencies noted on non-structural elements because, in this Building Physical Plant, the non- structural elements are considered controlling parameters. VI. Conditions and Limitations The scope of work is limited to general visual observation of accessible major structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sewer components of the facility in order to estimate remaining useful life of the facility. This Evaluation and Inspection was prepared based on examination of available records, interview meetings w/ the Lessee and visual on-site inspection of the Physical Plant & its operation. This report does not address any furnishings or non-permanent equipment. We have not verified the structural integrity of all members to support present or code required gravity or lateral loads, or performed any testing of the various building components. We did not perform any testing or investigations to confirm the accuracy of any drawings, calculations or documentation provided for review as a part of this evaluation. It is beyond the scope of this report to determine what deficiencies would need to be remediated in order to bring the current facility up to code. This report does not address any other portions or aspects of the existing facility other than those areas mentioned, nor does it provide warranty, either expressed or implied, for any portion of the existing facility. Remaining Useful Life is the duration for which the facilities will be useful to the business, not how long they will actually last. It is based on many factors and can change over time depending on factors such as improvements made to the property, economic changes and changes to laws. The remaining useful life estimates, assume basic maintenance and isolated critical repairs. The facilities may remain functional past these estimated spans, however, it is expected that widespread, more costly repairs and upgrades would begin to compound and it may no longer be feasible to operate at the status quo.
