Scope of Work The scope of work is to estimate the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the Building Facilities and Physical Plant for Uncle Billy’s Hilo Bay 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. Uncle Billy’s Hilo Bay Hotel located at 87 Banyan Drive, Hilo, Hawai‘i. II. Existing Conditions This Property is currently being used as a Hotel. There are five (5) buildings and wings to include: · 1 Hotel wing identified as the Kitchen Wing · 1 Hotel wing identified as the Main Wing · 1 added Hotel wing identified as the Shop Wing Page 3 · The Lobby/Office area · The Restaurant 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.

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. Aaron Whiting, Assistant Manager, to assess the general condition of the buildings and physical plant components of the Hilo Bay Hotel. An interview was first conducted with Mr. Whiting 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 were performed during which the major building and physical plant components were evaluated. A follow up site visit was performed on March 8, 2014. Page 4 The condition of the major components observed is documented in Appendix B. IV. Discussion The structural, electrical and water heating elements are the most important factors in determining the RUL. The condition of major equipment related to these systems, such as large capacity water heaters, transformers, electrical service components, etc. are also considered, but have less of an impact since they can be replaced with less 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 fire exit stairway, continuing as needed repair of balcony railings and spalling concrete at the Kitchen Wing and on the elevator tower, 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. G 1.a – The Ground to the West of the Kitchen Wing has risen due to trees planted along that Western face of the building. Walkways are showing signs of significant deformation due to the tree roots. · Element No. S 5.a – Roof framing over the Shop & Lobby Wings is sagging. · Element No. S 6.a – Fire escape stairways were observed to need significant repair and maintenance. · 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. U 2.a – Boiler system consists of 7 separate water heaters. Remaining useful life for this would be 3-5 years. Although not a necessary 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 erosion or drainage-flooding has occurred. · Parking available is limited to approximately 50 stalls and is not adequate for this facility. However, street parking is often available. · There is evidence of concrete spalling in various locations including floor slabs, walls, columns and beams. None were considered serious but should be repaired with continued use. · In general, the quality of cast-in-place concrete at the time of construction does not appear to be of the material quality that meets today’s standards. There appears to be aggregate/cement separation and deterioration. · Termite damage was noted in various locations, none of which appear to be serious deficiencies. One timber column in the Lobby electrical room will need repair with continued use. An in depth termite damage survey is recommended should the current use continue. Page 5 · Plumbing has been operational with no significant problems aside from normal preventative and repair maintenance. · Electrical source by HELCO is satisfactory. · Water and Wastewater by the County of Hawaii have performed satisfactorily with no significant disruptions. · Wastewater Internal Disposal System – Property has one (1) lift station which operates to move sewer waste from the property into the County of Hawaii Sewer system. This lift station has been routinely maintained in accordance with Department of Health standards. · ADA requirements were met during an evaluation approximately 10 years ago. Lessee believes they are in compliance with the exception of the pending installation of the pool lift. Continued use would require re-assessment of this element. · One (1) Elevator is located in the Main Wing and is the only elevator in this facility. Elevator in satisfactory condition and operable. 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 - 10 years assuming the current usage is continued. This RUL is based on deficiencies noted on both structural and non-structural elements. 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.
