Proj.: First Parish Meeting House Interior RenovationRe: Feasibility Study/Design Development

CBI Job No.: 17009

Dear Mr. Hanson:

CBI Consulting (CBI) has performed a review of the interior conditions at the First Parish Meeting House in Tyngsborough, MA.

The Town of Tyngsborough commissioned the Feasibility Study following the purchase of the building in order to assess the existing interior conditions and to develop a program for repairs/renovations. The study also included evaluation of MEP and accessibility upgrades needed to satisfy planned use of the building based on the information provided by the Town of Tyngsborough.

The building is a significant historic structure to the historic fabric of the town and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The result of this study will provide options and recommendations to extend the life of the building, and provide better use of the structure and site while respecting the historic character of the building and the original materials.

Very truly yours,CBI Consulting Inc.

Re: Existing Conditions Report

CBI Job No.: 17009

Dear Mr. Hanson:

CBI has prepared this Existing Conditions Assessment to outline the scope and extent of

recommended repairs and replacements to various interior building components and

materials, based on their condition and historical integrity. The recommendations listed in

the report also include new programming for the building developed based on the information

received from the Town of Tyngsborough.

CBI visited the site on January 25, 2017 to evaluate the existing interior conditions. To assist

with incidental demolition during the exploration, CBI engaged Complete Restoration &

Waterproofing, Inc. to perform the investigation. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire

protection and alarm systems were assessed and recommendations provided by BLW

Engineers, Inc. Compliance with the current building code and accessibility upgrades were

evaluated by Code Red Consultants. The interior finishes were visually inspected and

samples collected to determine the presence of hazardous materials by PEER Consultants,

P.C.

The following sections summarize our findings and repair recommendations. Attached to the

report are findings from our consultants as well as a preliminary cost estimate developed for

the budgeting of future repairs and upgrades by PM&C.

Basement Level

Observations: The Basement level is approximately 2,700 square feet and consists of three

(3) classrooms, open meeting space, kitchen, Men’s and Women’s Bathrooms and the

Mechanical Room. The Basement is accessible from the First Floor level by a wooden

staircase (Stair 1) located on the right-hand side of the building (facing Sanctuary) and from

the exterior by a concrete staircase located at the rear of the building. The existing finishes

are in fair to poor condition and are slated to be demolished.

Recommendations and New Design: The new layout of the Basement will accommodate the

program for the Recreation Department consisting of a large meeting room, open meeting

space, commercial kitchen, Men’s and Women’s accessible bathrooms, storage rooms as well

as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and elevator machine rooms. A new wooden stair

leading from the Basement level up to the Attic will be reconstructed in place of Stair 2. The

Rear Stair will be reconstructed to provide uniform treads and risers per the requirements of

521 CMR. The exterior foundation wall will receive spray foam insulation to improve the

energy efficiency of the building and new vinyl windows will be installed throughout the

Basement. New durable and low-maintenance finishes will be installed throughout.

First Floor Level

Observations: The First Floor level is approximately 2,500 square feet and consists of the

Lobby area, Sanctuary and two (2) stairwells – a wooden stairwell (Stair 1) located on the

right-hand side of the building, facing Sanctuary, leading to the Basement level and a wooden

winding stairwell (Stair 2) located on the left-hand side of the building, facing Sanctuary,

leading to the Mezzanine level. The majority of existing finishes are in fair to good condition

with some of the finishes in poor condition.

Recommendations and New Design: The Sanctuary and the Lobby will remain in their

current configuration and the intent is to retain the original finishes to the fullest extent

possible. A new handicapped accessible entry will be provided on the former Stair 1 space

with an exterior ramp to provide assessible access for the patrons.

The carpet in the Lobby will be removed existing wood flooring throughout the First Floor

will be repaired as needed and refinished. The existing decorative floor grates in the

Sanctuary isles will remain and will be refinished. The ramps leading up the Altar in the

Sanctuary will be extended to meet the current slope requirements of 521 CMR and will

receive railings on each side of the ramps. The body of the pews will be prepared for paint

and seats will be stripped of the paint and polyurethane and varnished. CBI recommends that

the plaster at the walls be removed and walls filled in with spray foam insulation and finished

with gypsum wall board. The existing plaster and lathe and tin covered barrel vault ceiling

will be prepared for paint. The existing wood paneled wall between the Lobby and the

Sanctuary will remain and will be prepared for paint. Wood trim will be prepared for paint

and the existing original and replacement windows will be replaced with wood clad windows.

The existing chandelier in the Sanctuary will be rewired and retrofitted with new LED lamps.

Additional period and architecturally appropriate lighting will be provided throughout the

First Floor level.

The current 521 CMR requirements call for the installation of a chair lift at the Altar. The

Town of Tyngsborough would like to pursue a variance for this requirement.

Mezzanine Level

Observations: The Mezzanine level is approximately 600 square feet and consists of one (1)

large open room that was at some point in time divided into two smaller rooms and one (1)

room located in the space above Stair 1. The Mezzanine is accessible from the First Floor

level by a winding wooden staircase (Stair 2) located on the left-hand side of the building

(facing Sanctuary) with access to the Attic level provided by the same stairwell. The

majority of existing finishes are in fair to poor condition.

Page 3



CBI Job No.: 17009

April 7, 2017

Recommendations and New Design: The interior partition for the smaller meeting room will

be removed to create one large open room. The smaller room over the Stair 1 space will be

utilized to accommodate the LULA and a small storage closet. The access to the Mezzanine

level and to the Attic level will be provided by a newly reconfigured wooden stairwell located

in the former Stair 2 space.

The existing wood flooring will be filled in as needed and refinished. The wood paneling at

the wall between the Mezzanine and the Sanctuary will be removed and a new wood

guardrail will be installed to meet the current building code requirements. New guardrails

will be installed at the large windows to address the gap between the window and the floor.

CBI recommends that the plaster at the walls and barrel vault ceiling at the Mezzanine level

be removed and walls filled in with spray foam insulation and finished with gypsum wall

board. Wood trim will be prepared for paint and the existing original and replacement

windows will be replaced with wood clad windows. Period and architecturally appropriate

lighting will be provided throughout the space.

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection (MEPFP) and Fire Alarm

The existing conditions and recommendations for repairs or replacement of the MEPFP and

Fire Alarm systems are described in the attached report provided by BLW Engineers, Inc.

Accessibility

The cost of the recent exterior renovation on the building and the slated repairs and upgrades

to the interior will exceed 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building. Therefore, all

public portions of the building are required to meet the current requirements of the 521 CMR.

The full description of the required upgrades is described in the attached report provided by

Code Red Consultants.

Hazardous Materials

The existing finishes that may be disturbed during the renovation project were visually

surveyed and multiple samples were collected and later tested to determine the presence of

lead paint and asbestos. The full description of the sampling and analysis is described in the

attached report provided by PEER Consultants, P.C.

Please contact the undersigned with any questions.

Very truly yours,

CBI Consulting Inc.

Recommendations

The building shall be provided with automatic

fire suppression system in accordance with

NFPA 13.

All areas within the building conditioned

envelope will be provided with automatic wet

fire protection system. This should include

basement, first floor and possible mezzanine

level. For all areas subject to freezing the

system shall be automatic dry type, large attic.

Sprinkler heads shall be a quick response type

with temperature rating in accordance with

their location with respect to a heat source(s).

New underground water fire main shall be

provided for the building, to supply the

automatic fire suppression system. The new

main shall be provided with backflow preventer

in accordance with Massachusetts Department

of Environmental Protection. The fire

suppression system shall be provided with main

fire department hose connection at location

approved by the local Fire Department. The fire

suppression system valves and flow controls

shall be electronically supervised in accordance

with NFPA 72.

The basement level will have a commercial

kitchen setup. If there will be a gas fired

equipment provided, specialty fire suppression,

wet chemical, shall be utilized for the

protection over that equipment.


PLUMBING


Domestic Water System

Existing 1” service has been observed on the

north side of the building under a stair. The

service appears to be disconnected with the

water meter removed and the domestic water

system permanently winterized. The domestic

hot water system was served by an existing 40

gallon electric water heater

Storm System

Currently the building does not have a storm

system and the roof structure does not require

one.

Sanitary System

The existing sanitary system is connected to an

outdoor septic tank. The Town has provided

information that the system is not functioning,

therefore the current sanitary system is not

reusable.

Plumbing Fixtures

All existing plumbing fixtures appear to be

winterized, but intact and in good visual

condition. The existing bathrooms are not

MAAB (ADA) compliant.

Fuel Oil System

The building is currently provided with oil fuel

tank, serving the existing heating equipment.

Recommendations

Domestic Water System

Based on a final occupancy count and plumbing

fixture requirements the existing 1” service

shall be evaluated and if required replaced with

a larger size service. At this time based on the

preliminary plumbing fixture count, 1 ¼” water

service shall be required. Based on the fixture


count the domestic hot water system shall be

sized and provided with electric water heater or

if natural gas service is available, gas fired

tankless, on-demand water heater(s) shall be

provided. All domestic water system piping shall

be replaced with new piping, properly insulated

as required by code.

Storm System

N/A

Sanitary System

The existing sanitary system and outdoor septic

tank shall be properly serviced (pumped-out)

infilled and abandoned in place. New 4”

sanitary sewer shall be extended from the

nearby municipal sewer and connect to all new

plumbing fixtures in the building.

Grease Waste

The basement commercial kitchen plumbing

operation will be served by a dedicated grease

waste drainage that will be connected to the

sanitary system downstream from a grease

interceptor. After coordination with

Department of Health it will be determined if an

indoor floor recessed unit will be acceptable

means of grease waste collection or an outdoor

unit will be required, in addition to the interior

unit serving the three compartment sink, floor

drains and dishwasher.

Plumbing Fixtures

All existing plumbing fixtures shall be removed,

and replaced with new commercial grade

fixtures MAAB (ADA) compliant. The plumbing

fixture count determined at this time is based

on a total occupancy of 291 people and is as

follow:

o 3 female toilets

o 2 male toilets (1 can be substituted for

urinal)

o 1 sink for each sex

Fuel Oil System

If there is no natural gas available in the area

the existing oil tank shall be inspected and

replaced.

CO Detection

If the commercial kitchen is provided with an

open flame gas burning equipment the area in

proximity of that equipment shall have a CO

detection system provided and interconnected

to the equipment gas supply piping.


HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR

CONDITIONING


The building is heated with a gas fired hot water

boiler, hot water pumps and water specialties.

Hot water is distributed throughout the building

with a supply and return piping system. Spaces

are then heated with finned tube radiation. The

boiler, piping, radiators, and finned tube

radiation appears to be more than 20 years old.

The bathroom have been provided with toilet

exhaust fans, but don’t appear to be vented to

the outdoors.

There are no cooling systems or ventilation

systems currently within the spaces.

Recommendations

The existing heating system is past its useful

operating life expectancy and should be

replaced in its entirety.

Heating and cooling the new spaces shall be

provided with a new gas fired furnaces. This

will allow for zone control. New gas furnaces

will be provided in each zone. The amount of

gas furnaces and location of the gas furnace

shall depend on the space heating and cooling

requirements. The gas furnaces will either be

installed within the ceiling or floor mounted.

Air cooled condensing units shall be installed

around the perimeter of the building as

required for the cooling zones required.

Ventilation shall be provide with energy

recovery ventilators as required to meet the

code. Supply ductwork and exhaust ductwork

shall be run throughout the building from the

ERV and then extended to the outdoors. Each

room shall be provided with supply and exhaust

registers to distribute the air. The ERV units

shall be installed within the basement within

Existing Finned Tube Radiation

Existing Hot Water Boiler

Existing Hot Water Pump


the mechanical room. An ERV would be

provided for the main level/mezzanine and

lower level. Bathroom exhaust shall be

provided with a bathroom exhaust fan and

exhaust ductwork extend to the outdoors.


ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Electrical Service and Distribution

The main service originates from a utility pole

on Middlesex Road and runs overhead to a

weatherhead attached to the building. The

service enters the basement through a 1 ½”

conduit and terminates in a panelboard. The

service size is 100 amp 120/240 volt, 1-phase, 3-

wire service.

The main panelboard is a 100 amp 120/240

volt, 1-phase, 3-wire, 30-circuit panel with no

spares or spaces available. There is (1) 8-circuit

panel located adjacent to the service panel.

The panelboards are well beyond their

expected useful lives. One panel is showing

signs of a possible fire within the panel.

Recommendations

Due to the proposed elevator and condition of

the existing equipment, and the addition of

proposed HVAC, plumbing and kitchen

equipment, this report recommends

updating/replacing the existing single-phase

service with a new 400 amp, 120/208 volt, 3-

phase, 4-wire service from the same pole on

Middlesex Road. The new service would

require 4# 500 KCMIL, 1#3G 3 1/2”C from the

utility pole underground to a new meter

attached to the building. A new 400 amp

feeder would be provided (4#500 KCMIL, 1#3G

3 1/2”C) to a new 400 amp, 120/208 volt, 3-

phase, 4-wire, 42 circuit Main Circuit Breaker

panelboard. The new panel would include all

new breakers to feed existing circuits, new

proposed circuits for HVAC, plumbing and

kitchen equipment and an 80 amp, 208 volt, 3-

pole (estimated) breaker to feed the proposed

elevator.

A new electrical room, to house the new

electrical service panel should be provided. The

room will need to be approximately 5’ x 5’, with

3 feet of clearance in front of the panel for code

required work space.

q


Fire Alarm


The building is protected by a 10-zone MIRCOM

FA-1000 Series fire alarm control panel. The

panel transmits signal to the Tyngsborough Fire

Department via telephone lines. The panel is 8-

10 years old. The typical expected life of a fire

alarm control panel and system is 20 years,

therefore the existing panel should be able to

function for another 10 years. The building

contains smoke detectors, manual pull stations.

The age of the devices was reported to be 25

years old. There were 2 different vintages of

pull stations. Newer horn/strobe devices were

installed 2-3 years ago.

Recommendations

The fire alarm control panel is in decent

working condition and could support the new

devices needed for the proposed elevator. The

devices are approaching the end of their life

and should be replaced during this renovation.

New smoke detectors will be required on each

elevator lobby level for elevator recall function.

A smoke and heat detector will be required for

the elevator machine room. New horn/strobe

devices will be required for the proposed

upgrades to the bathrooms. New tamper and

flow switches are being provided for he

proposed fire sprinkler system. New control

modules would be required to tie in the

switches into the fire alarm control panel. It is

recommended to provide upgrades to the

bathrooms. It is recommended to provide a

zone expander, to ensure the proposed devices

can be added to the control panel.


Lighting


All of the light fixtures are inefficient, past their

expected useful life and should be replaced

with new energy efficient LED type fixtures.

Some fixtures are not supported properly and

are falling down. Some lenses are missing.

There is an existing chandelier on the main

floor, which may be retrofitted with new wiring

and new LED lamps.

Recommendations

The building’s lighting needs a complete

upgrade as soon as possible. New LED lighting

is recommended for the proposed renovated

bathrooms and new elevator lobbies. The

bathrooms should be provided with new ceiling

or wall-mounted occupancy sensors.

Emergency drivers should be included in the

new proposed light fixtures, to provide

emergency lighting in bathrooms and elevator

lobbies. New fixtures should be provided

throughout. The existing chandelier should be

retrofitted, rewired and provided with new LED

lamps.


Emergency & Exit Lighting


There are approximately (2) exit

sign/emergency lights and (2) self- contained

emergency lights. These items appear to be in

good working condition. However, there is

inadequate lighting coverage and exit signage.

Recommendations

The building’s emergency and exit lighting

should be enhanced with added LED self-

contained exit signs and emergency lights. New

lighting could be provided with integral

emergency drivers, to serve as emergency

egress/lighting.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INSPECTION FIRST PARISH MEETING HOUSE – 214 MIDDLESEX ROAD

TYNGSBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS

Submitted by:

David Gorden (AI-900459) PEER CONSULTANTS, P.C. 99 SOUTH BEDFORD STREET, SUITE 200 BURLINGTON, MA 01803 Project Number: 6698

PEER Consultants Page 1 2/16/2017 fpmh hazmat project 021617

1. Introduction Limited hazardous material sampling and analysis was conducted by PEER Consultants, P.C. (PEER) on the interior of the First Parish Meeting House, located at 214 Middlesex Road, Tyngsborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts as part of its interior renovation project. The objective of this investigation was to inspect constructs, finishes, and other materials that may be affected by the project and that may contain asbestos or lead. 2. Sampling Mr. David Gorden, PEER Consultants (MA Asbestos Inspector License AI 900459 and MA lead Inspector license I-4057) surveyed the suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) and lead paint at this building on January 25, 2017, and conducted a subsequent survey on February 16, 2017. Locations were selected and areas were accessed with the assistance of the architect, CBI Consulting, Inc. to facilitate the sampling of suspect building materials that may be disturbed by the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House renovation project. Multiple samples of suspect materials were collected to meet the requirements of the sampling protocols established in EPA regulation 40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E 763.86, (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and OSHA regulations. PEER collected sixty-six (66) bulk ACBM samples from thirty (30) homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. The suspect ACBM materials included gypsum board, fiberboard, tape, joint compound, ceiling tile, floor tile, caulk, mastic, transite board, laminate, veneer, coating, paint, and plaster. Suspect lead in paint samples included paint on wood, cement, and metal. PEER collected twenty-six (26) paint samples to be screened or analyzed for lead. These suspect hazardous materials are further described in the laboratory summary report within Appendices A and B. Samples were labeled with unique identifiers, and appropriate chain-of-custody documentation was completed for the samples. The suspect ACBM samples were sent to EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL) of Woburn, MA for laboratory analysis. The suspect lead samples were field-screened using LeadCheck™ colorimetric paint test kits. Suspect ACBM and lead paint were assessed by PEER in readily accessible areas associated with the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House project. Suspect ACBM and lead paint may be present, hidden in other non-accessible areas, associated with the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House project. PEER did not collect samples from suspect ACBM and lead paint associated with any other portions of the building or areas on the subject property, not specifically identified in the attached chain of custody (COC). 3. Analysis Bulk asbestos samples were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials" (EPA/600/R-93/116, July 1993).


Coating or paint samples for lead were screened by cutting and swabbing painted surfaces with LeadCheck™ colorimetric paint test kits manufactured by 3M, Inc. This procedure provides an accurate but qualitative (yes/no) confirmation of the presence of any lead paint. EMSL is accredited under the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD). 4. Findings 4.1 Asbestos Visual inspection of selected materials indicated the presence of suspect ACBM including gypsum board, fiberboard, joint compound, tape, ceiling tile, floor tile, caulk, mastic, transite board, laminate, veneer, coating, paint, and plaster. Please note that the room descriptions below in the asbestos section follow the Massachusetts CLPPP Lead Inspection/Risk Assessment Report room designation template, which assigns room numbers from the street side of the building in a clockwise pattern. This is illustrated for the basement, in Figure 1, attached. Figures 2 and 3 provide existing condition information for the first and second floor of the building. The full sample log with a description of sample locations and the ACBM analytical data is provided in Appendix A. A summary of the ACBM results is provided in Table 1. An ACBM contains more than 1% asbestos and is regulated by the EPA and OSHA.

5. Discussion and Conclusions 5.1 Asbestos Inspection and sampling of suspect ACBM identified the presence of asbestos containing materials by laboratory analysis. The following homogeneous areas of suspect ACBM contained > 1% asbestos:


Interior:

Tan 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement

Brown 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement

Black mastic associated with 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks, and brown 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement

Black/yellow mastic associated with white 12” x 12” floor tiles with specks and brown 12” x 12” floor tiles with specks in the basement

Grey joint compound on the gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement

White/tan caulk/sealant on the gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement

Black-stained white transite board on the ceiling of the boiler room in the basement

Black coating on the underside of the two sinks in the kitchen of the basement

Green/yellow mastic on the wood laminate board attached to the Styrofoam insulation on the concrete/granite walls of the basement

Green/yellow mastic on the Styrofoam insulation on the concrete/granite walls of the basement

The following additional building materials are assumed to contain >1% asbestos: furnace in the basement, window caulking in the basement. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, asbestos activities are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under 310 CMR 7.15 and by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) under 453 CMR 6.00. Massachusetts regulations require that any asbestos-related activity conducted in the Commonwealth be performed by a contractor and workers licensed by DLS. Asbestos abatement must be performed in accordance with a Project Design prepared by a MA-Licensed Asbestos Designer. Third-party air monitoring must be conducted at the completion of abatement activities. 5.2 Lead The EPA regulates use, removal, and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) and OSHA regulates lead exposure to workers. The EPA defines lead-based paint as paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that contains lead equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2; 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis. The following paint was screened by PEER to contain >0.2% lead in paint.

White paint on the plaster wall, plaster ceiling, and wood sash in the stairwell between the 1st and 2nd floor

White paint on the wooden window, wallboard, and door on the second floor

Brown/black/dark green and tan/dark green paint associated with the sanctuary pews on the 1st floor

Tan/light green paint associated with the plaster wall of the sanctuary and gathering hall on the 1st floor

Gray paint on the wooden stairs between the 1st and 2nd floors

Light green paint on the wooden stairs between the basement and 1st floors

Pink/tan paint on the tin ceiling within the sanctuary on the 1st floor


White/light green paint on the wooden door in the gathering hall on the 1st floor

White/tan paint on the wooden window sill in the sanctuary on the 1st floor

White/green wooden clapboards on the exterior of the building In addition, there may be additional areas of paint, which may contain lead, which may not have been screened as part of the results within Table 2.

The OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. The lead-in-construction standard applies to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even very low concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon on the method of removal and other workplace conditions. All work related to construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) must include provisions for worker safety and protection as specified in these standards. The EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745) and MA Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) 454 CMR 22) Lead Safe Renovation Regulations must be followed in target housing and schools. This building did not appear to be currently operating as target housing or a school. 6. Abatement Cost Estimate 6.1 Asbestos Abatement Costs Asbestos abatement costs were estimated based on the presence of asbestos (>1%) in the following materials at the First Parish Meeting House. The abatement cost for removal of these materials prior to renovation or demolition is estimated in the following table. Please note that the abatement of the assumed asbestos-containing window sealants in the basement is easiest to conduct during removal of the entire window system and the cost typically adds a factor of approximately 1.5 times the window removal cost. If this basement window system can be made accessible, PEER would be able to collect samples of caulk from the window system for ACM analysis.

(1) Unit cost is based on removal of carpet, multiple layers of tile, and mastic on concrete. (2) Unit cost is based on removal of only gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement. (3) Unit cost is based on disposal of Styrofoam and wood laminate board as part of waste stream.

This material occurs in the basement behind the interior walls of Rooms 1, 3 through 5, the bathrooms, and is presumed behind the kitchen wall.

6.2 Lead Disposal Costs As per Section 5.2, lead paint containing materials were identified on building materials within the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as in the wooden clapboards on the exterior of the building. A Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) analysis was not requested by the Client as part of this project. Since many of the painted items may not be disposed of or abated as part of the asbestos abatement, PEER suggests that the architect for the project carry a financial contingency for hazardous waste disposal from the First Parish Meeting House project. 6.3 Universal Waste According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1, Part 273, Universal Waste means any of the following hazardous wastes that are subject to the universal waste requirements of this part 273: • Batteries as described in §273.2; • Pesticides as described in §273.3; • Mercury-containing equipment as described in §273.4; and • Lamps as described in §273.5. The following universal wastes or other items which could be recycled may be present, associated with the project building: fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent light bulbs, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) ballast, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, mercury thermostats and switches, batteries, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), electronic waste, refrigeration and cooling system Freon and other chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), air conditioners, smoke detectors, exit displays.

1. Introduction CBI Consulting has retained Code Red Consultants to provide fire protection, life safety and accessibility code consulting services for the First Parish Meeting House renovation project located in Tyngsborough, MA.

This document has been prepared to describe the overall code compliance approach to active and passive fire protection and life safety systems in the building in the context of the renovation project proposed. Additionally, this report has been prepared to meet the requirements of Section 101.5.4.0 of the Massachusetts Existing Building Code, which requires the written submission of an investigation and evaluation in accordance with its requirements as a condition of permit.

The information contained within this report is based on a site survey completed on January 25, 2017 by Paul Moan, P.E. of Code Red Consultants.

1.1 Existing Building Description

The existing First Parish Meeting House is a one-story building with a below-grade Basement and mezzanine. The building houses main gathering functions in the primary First Floor sanctuary area and smaller gathering and educational functions in the Basement. The mezzanine area houses non-public office and storage spaces. The building also contains an unoccupied attic above the Mezzanine that provides access to the bell tower.

1.2 Project Description

Based on the project concept plans and conversations with CBI, it is our understanding that the project to the First Parish Meeting House will consist of the following:

Full renovation of the Basement to reconfigure the meeting areas, relocate the existing kitchen, and provide new accessible toilet rooms.

Provide a LULA within the existing footprint to provide vertical access between the Basement and First Floor.1

Construct new exterior ramps for accessible access to the building entrances and exits. Remove a single wall on the Mezzanine to open up the space. The only reconfigurations of walls and doors on the First Floor are those associated

with the new LULA and new exterior doors. The primary sanctuary area is expected to remain in its current configuration.

No addition or change of occupancy is planned as part of the project.

1 The LULA is required to serve the mezzanine if the mezzanine contains public areas.

3. Existing Building Code Scoping Requirements Portions of an existing building undergoing repair, alteration, addition, or a change in use are subject to the requirements of the MEBC. In general, existing materials and conditions can remain provided they were installed in accordance with the code at the time of original installation and are not deemed a hazardous condition by an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Work to existing buildings is required to be performed in accordance with 780 CMR for new construction unless otherwise specified by the MEBC. Alterations to existing buildings are not permitted to reduce the level of safety currently provided within the building unless the portion altered complies with the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction.

Except for structural work, where compliance with the code is impractical due to construction difficulties or regulatory conflicts, building officials are permitted to approve compliance alternatives. Any compliance alternatives being sought are required to be identified on the submittal documents (MEBC 101.5.0.1).

4. Compliance Method & Classification of Work The MEBC has three different compliance methods that can be used to evaluate a renovation project:

Prescriptive Method (MEBC Chapter 3) Work Area Method (MEBC Chapters 4-10) Performance Method (MEBC Chapter 13)

Based on the proposed scope of work, the Work Area Method has been selected to evaluate this project in accordance with MEBC Section 101.5.

The proposed scope of work includes alterations of more than 50% of the aggregate floor area. As such, the proposed work is classified as a Level 3 Alteration. The project is required to comply with MEBC Chapters 6, 7, and 8.

There will not be a change of occupancy or addition as part of the project.

6. MEBC Analysis The following analysis has been prepared to illustrate compliance with the requirements of the MEBC based on the compliance method and classification of work identified above. This section of the report focuses on the existing building code requirements. In general, new work is required to comply with the new construction requirements of 780 CMR unless otherwise stated herein (MEBC 602.4 & 701.3).

6.1 Use and Occupancy Classifications

6.1.1 Primary Occupancies

The building contains Group A-3, Assembly occupancies (Sanctuary, Gathering/Education Areas) on the Basement & First Floor and Group B, Business or Group S-2, Storage occupancy on the Mezzanine. The building is designed as a non-separated mixed occupancy (780 CMR 508.3).

6.1.2 Accessory Occupancies

The building also contains accessory Group S-2, Storage occupancies (780 CMR 508.2.1) on the Basement & First Floor.

6.2 Building Construction

6.2.1 Construction Classification and Occupancy Approach

The building is constructed of a combustible, unprotected structure, consistent with Type VB Construction.

Table 1 indicates the minimum fire-resistance ratings required for the structure (780 CMR 601).

Fire Resistance Rating of Building Elements Building Element Type VB Construction

Interior Bearing Walls 0 Hour

Exterior Bearing Walls 0 Hour

Exterior Nonbearing Walls See Section 6.2.3

Floor construction and secondary members 0 Hours

Roof construction and secondary members 0 Hour

TABLE 1: FIRE-RESISTANCE RATINGS

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 9

6.2.2 Building Height and Area

As the project scope does not include an addition or a change of occupancy, a height and area analysis is not required to be completed (MEBC 912.5 & 1002).

6.2.3 Exterior Walls

No work to the exterior walls of the building are planned and existing portions of the façade are permitted to remain (MEBC 601.2).

6.3 Vertical Openings

The existing building contains two non-rated exit stairs, one which connects the Basement and First Floor (Stair 1), and the other which connects the First Floor and the Mezzanine (Stair 2). There is also a non-rated stair that serves as a means of egress from the Basement Level and discharges occupants directly to the exterior at grade (Rear Stair). The interior face of the rear stair enclosure coincides with the exterior wall of the Sanctuary on the First Floor.

As part of the project, the following work will occur to the vertical openings:

Stair 1 will be removed. The resulting space will be infilled with floor construction consistent with the construction type of the building.

A new LULA will be installed connecting the Basement and First Floor. The new LULA is required to be enclosed in a 1-hour fire-resistance rated shaft (780 CMR 708.2). This rated enclosure is required to be supported with 1-hour rated construction, which the existing floors are not capable of without upgrades (780 CMR 707.5.1).

Stair 2 will be extended down to also serve the Basement (resulting stair will connect two stories and a mezzanine). The existing Rear Stair will remain and continue to serve the Basement.

The compliance options for the Rear Stair and Stair 2 are as follows:

o Option 1: Rate Rear Stair

Enclose the Rear Stair in 30-minute construction (MEBC 703.2.1(4) & 803.1).

Remove the enclosure around Stair 2 on the First Floor, and design Stair 2 as an unenclosed exit access stair in accordance with 780 CMR Sections 708.2(11) & 1016.1(3)). For the use of this exception, the stair is required to be open on the Basement and First Floor. If an enclosure is provided, then it is required to be 1-hour rated per the second option below.

o Option 2: Rate Stair 2

The Rear Stair is permitted to remain in its existing non-rated condition (780 CMR 708.2(11) & 1016.1(3)).

Enclose Stair 2 in 1-hour FRR construction. The rating is minimally required to enclose the Basement and First Floors and can either (1) extend the rating up

through the mezzanine, or (2) be separated from the stair traveling up to the mezzanine by 1-hour construction.

o Option 3: Sprinkler Entire Building

If the building is sprinklered throughout, the rear stair is permitted to remain as is and Stair 2 is permitted to be either open or 1-hour rated between the Basement and First Floor (MEBC 703.2.1 Exception 1 & 780 CMR 1016.1 Exception 4).

o Option 4: 9th Edition Submission/Variance

Under the 9th Edition, option 3 above is permitted in a non-sprinklered building (2015 IEBC 803.2.1 Exception 1 & 2015 IBC 1019.3-1). This allowance could be used if the project is filed under the 9th Edition (either by waiting until it is adopted or by submitting for a variance).

A shaft enclosure that does not extend to the underside of the roof sheathing, deck or slab is required to be enclosed at the top with construction of the same fire-resistance rating as the topmost floor penetrated by the shaft, but not less than the fire-resistance rating required for the shaft enclosure (780 CMR 708.4).

6.4 Interior Walls and Partitions

6.4.1 Fire/Smoke Resistive Assemblies

The existing building does not have fire-resistance rated corridor walls, occupancy separations, or tenant separations. Table 2 identifies the interior walls and partitions that are required to be constructed as fire rated assemblies. These requirements will apply to the new and altered portions of the building only.

4 Interior finishes are grouped in the following classes: Class A – flame spread index 0-25, Class B – flame spread index 26-75, Class

C – flame spread index 76-200. All classes are required to have a smoke-developed index that does not exceed 450 in accordance with ASTM E84.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 14

The Basement is required to be sprinkler protected as it satisfies the following conditions (MEBC 704.2.2; 780 CMR 903.2):

The Basement work area contains exits serving an occupant load greater than 30; The Basement work area exceeds 50% of the floor area; The building has sufficient municipal water supply for design of a fire sprinkler

system available to the Basement without installation of a new fire pump; and The calculated occupant load of the building exceeds 300 people.

Sprinkler protection is not required in the balance of the building as the aggregate area of the building, including the mezzanine, is approximately 5,900 sf (MGL ch. 148 s. 26G).

6.6.2 Kitchen Hood Suppression System

Each commercial kitchen exhaust hood and duct system required by Section 609 of the International Fire Code or Chapter 5 of the International Mechanical Code to have a Type I hood, is required to be protected with an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system (780 CMR 904.2.1).

6.6.3 Standpipe Systems

The building does not have a standpipe system, nor is one required to be provided as the highest floor level is not more than 50 feet above the lowest level of fire department access (780 CMR 905.3.1).

6.6.4 Fire Extinguishers

Portable fire extinguishers are required in all occupancies within the building and are required to be selected and installed in accordance with this 780 CMR 906 and NFPA 10 (780 CMR 906.1).

Fire extinguishers are required in the following locations (780 CMR 906.1):

Within 30 feet of commercial cooking equipment.

Such that the maximum travel distance to an extinguisher for Class A fire hazards does not exceed 75 feet (780 CMR 906.3).

Fire extinguishers are required to be manually inspected at intervals not exceeding 31 days (NFPA 10, 7.2.1.2), and are required to be externally examined annually (NFPA 10, 7.3.2). The tags on the fire extinguishers within the building showed the last inspection occurring in 2009. All fire extinguishers in the building are required to be inspected in accordance with NFPA 10.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 15

6.7 Emergency Systems

6.7.1 Fire Alarm and Detection Systems

The building is currently provided with a fire alarm system consisting horn/strobe notification devices with clear lenses, automatic smoke and heat detection, and manual pull stations. The existing system is permitted to remain provided it is in good working order. The condition of the existing system, and the extent to which it can be reused is required to be evaluated by the project fire protection engineer.

The fire alarm system is required to be modified as necessary within the renovated areas. New and modified portions of the fire alarm system are required to be in accordance with 780 CMR and NFPA 72, 2010 Edition. The existing level of protection is not permitted to be reduced as a result of the renovation project (MEBC 601.2).

6.8 Means of Egress

780 CMR Section 102.6.4 contains provisions related to means of egress, lighting, and ventilation within existing buildings. These provisions are intended to provide a minimum level of health and safety for occupants within the building at all times. If these provisions are not met, the building official may cite the condition in writing as a violation and order abatement within a time frame deemed necessary. These items include:

Inadequate number of means of egress. Egress components with insufficient width or so arranged to be inadequate, including

signage and lighting. Inadequate lighting and ventilation.

Where full compliance for egress, lighting, and ventilation are not practical, the building official may accept compliance alternatives, engineering, and other evaluations that adequately address the deficiency.

6.8.1 Existing Means of Egress

The existing means of egress consists of the following:

Basement: Served by two exit stairs. The one in the rear of the building leads directly to the exterior, while the one in the front of the building exits to the exterior by means of the main lobby.

First Floor: Served by two exit doors to the front of the building. Mezzanine: Served by a single exit stair.

6.8.2 Number of Means of Egress

The number of exits required from every story or portion thereof is not permitted to be less than that specified in Table 5 (780 CMR 1021.1).

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 16

Minimum Number of Exits Required Occupant Load Number of Exits Required

1 – 500 2 501 – 1,000 3

> 1,000 4 TABLE 5: MINIMUM NUMBER OF EXITS REQUIRED

The mezzanine is permitted to be served by one means of egress since the common path of travel distance is less than 75 feet and the calculated occupant load is less than 29 people (780 CMR 505.3 Exception & 1015.1).

The number of exits serving the building are shown in the means of egress analysis in Appendix A.

6.8.3 Capacity of Means of Egress

A means of egress analysis using the occupant load factors of 780 CMR Section 1004.1 and the exit capacity factors of 780 CMR Section 1005.1 has been completed for the existing building and is located in Appendix A of this report. Adequate egress capacity is provided from each floor.

6.8.4 Exit Signage

The existing building contains multiple exit signs which are internally illuminated on battery backup. Generally, exit signage coverage was provided for the stairs and exit doors to the exterior, but was deficient within the main function rooms.

Where two or more exits are required from a space, exit and exit access doors are required to be marked by an approved exit sign readily visible from any direction of egress travel (780 CMR 1011.1).

As part of the project, it should be confirmed that all new and existing areas are provided with adequate exit signage coverage in accordance with 780 CMR Section 1011. Exit signage will have to be coordinated with any new exit locations from the sanctuary, and with the main exit from the front of the First Floor. All exit signs are required to be internally or externally illuminated (780 CMR 1011.2).

6.8.5 Egress Illumination

The existing building contains multiple emergency lighting devices on battery backup power, but there are several areas in the building that visually appeared to be lacking coverage. Lighting levels under normal and emergency conditions were not measured during the survey.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 17

As part of the project, it should be confirmed that adequate coverage of lighting and emergency lighting is provided throughout the building in accordance with 780 CMR Section 1006, and that all devices are properly functioning.

6.8.6 Existing Hazardous Means of Egress

780 CMR Section 102.6.4 states that existing means of egress elements can retroactively be required to be upgraded regardless of the planned scope of work if deemed hazardous by the building official. Additionally, 527 CMR requires existing means of egress components to be maintained in a safe and operable condition. The following table summarizes means of egress conditions that were observed to be out of compliance with the requirements of 780 CMR and 527 CMR which could potentially be deemed hazardous and require upgrades by the AHJ to be brought in compliance with 780 CMR Chapter 10.

Panic Hardware

No panic hardware is provided on the exit doors from the First Floor and Basement. The code for new construction requires doors serving assembly spaces with more than 50 people (the Sanctuary and the Basement gathering areas) to be equipped with panic hardware (780 CMR 1008.1.10).

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 18

Emergency Lighting

As discussed in Section 6.8.5 of this report above, emergency lighting is required to be provided within the building in accordance with 780 CMR Chapter 1006.3 regardless of the scope of work (780 CMR 102.6.4). Portions of the building are lacking coverage from existing devices and in most instances existing devices are non-functioning. It is recommended as part of the project that a full review of emergency lighting coverage and functionality be performed for the entire building. Note that all egress lighting is required to be provided with battery backup power (780 CMR 1006.3).

Exit Signage

As discussed in Section 6.8.4 of this report above, it was observed that multiple exit signs were non-illuminated and do not comply with the exit sign requirements per 780 CMR Section 1011.5 for size and contrast. 780 CMR Section 1011.2 requires exit signs to be internally or externally illuminated. Existing, non-compliant exit signs should be replaced with compliant internally or externally illuminated.

Furthermore, existing exit signage coverage was lacking from the main assembly spaces. Exit signs are required to be placed in all rooms where the exit or the path of egress travel is not

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 19

immediately visible to the occupants (780 CMR 1011.1).

Storage in Stair

A storage closet was observed in Stair 2. Exit stairs are not permitted to be used for any purpose other than means of egress (780 CMR 1022.1). If Stair 2 is enclosed with 1-hour rated construction, then the storage room should be relocated.

Ceiling Tiles

There are several missing or damaged ceiling tiles in the Basement, which can affect smoke detector activation.

All missing or damaged ceiling tiles should be replaced regardless of work performed in order to maintain the detection system in safe and operable condition.

Door Locks

There were several bolt- or latch-type locks observed throughout the building. Manual locks are not permitted on egress doors serving the occupancies within the building (780 CMR 1008.1.9.4).

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 20

Rear Stair Treads & Risers

The treads and risers in the Rear Stair are non-uniform. Tread depths and risers height are required to be uniform (780 CMR 1009.4.4).

Stair 2 Winders

Stair 2 is provided with winder treads, which is not permitted by new construction (780 CMR 1009.4.3). It is our understanding that these treads are being replaced with compliant treads as part of this project.

Stair 1 Guard

Stair 1 is not provided with a guard that prohibits the passage of a 4” sphere (780 CMR 1013.3). This stair is being demolished as part of this project.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 21

First Floor Exits

The First Floor is provided with two means of egress that are not sufficiently remote from each other.

A new exit is required to be provided from the Sanctuary that is separated from one of the existing exits by a distance not less than one-half of the maximum diagonal of the floor (780 CMR 1015.2.1).

Note that the exit door is required to swing in the direction of egress, is required to be provided with panic hardware and a manual pull station, and is required to be signed as an exit.

Door Swings

All means of egress doors serving the Basement or Sanctuary are required to swing in the direction of egress (780 CMR 1008.1.2). There were several means of egress doors at the back of the sanctuary (towards main entrance) that did not swing in the direction of egress.

6.8.7 Doors

New doors are required to be a minimum of 32 inches in clear width and are not permitted to have a swinging door leaf greater than 48 inches in nominal width (780 CMR 1008.1.1)

New egress doors are required to be of the pivoted or side-swinging type and doors are required to swing in the direction of egress travel where serving an occupant load of 50 or more persons (780 CMR 1008.1.2). It should be confirmed that all means of egress doors serving the Basement and the Sanctuary Area swing in the direction of egress.

Space between two doors in series is required to be 48 inches minimum plus the width of a door swinging into the space. Doors in series are required to swing either in the

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 22

same direction or away from the space between the doors. The minimum distance between horizontal sliding doors is required be 48 inches (780 CMR 1008.1.8).

New doors serving rooms or spaces with an occupant load of 50 or more in a Group A occupancy are not permitted to be provided with a lock or latch unless it is panic or fire exit hardware (780 CMR 1008.1.10.1). It is required to be confirmed that all doors (new and existing) from the Group A-3 spaces, including those along egress paths of travel and into stairs, are provided with panic hardware.

6.8.8 Stair Enclosures

Exit enclosures are not permitted to be used for any purpose other than means of egress (780 CMR 1022.1). Penetrations into and openings through an exit enclosure are prohibited except for required exit doors and equipment serving the stair (780 CMR 1022.4). Stairs are required to have sufficient width to accommodate the calculated occupant load, but are not permitted to be less than 44 inches (780 CMR 1009.1)

The code for new construction requires exit enclosures to discharge directly to the exterior of the building (780 CMR 1027.1). If stair 2 is enclosed with rated construction, it is required to discharge directly to the exterior.

6.8.9 Ramps

New ramps are planned as part of this project. Ramps shall have a running slope not steeper than one unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (8-percent slope). If the ramp is not part of an accessible route or used as a means of egress, the slope is permitted to be up to one unit vertical in eight units horizontal (12.5-percent slope) (780 CMR 1010.2). The slope measured perpendicular to the direction of travel of a ramp shall not be steeper than one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope) (780 CMR 1010.3). The rise for any ramp run shall be 30 inches maximum (780 CMR 1010.4).

Ramps shall have landings at the bottom and top of each ramp, points of turning, entrance, exits and at doors (780 CMR 1010.7). Landings shall have a slope not steeper than one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope) in any direction. Changes in level are not permitted (780 CMR 1010.7.1). The landing shall be at least as wide as the widest ramp run adjoining the landing and a minimum length of 60 inches (780 CMR 1010.7.2 & 1010.7.3). Where changes in direction of travel occur at landings provided between ramp runs, the landing shall be 60 inches by 60 inches minimum (780 CMR 1010.7.4). Ramps with a rise greater than 6 inches shall have handrails on both sides that comply with 780 CMR 1012 (780 CMR 1010.9).

6.9 Structural

The review of existing conditions and application of the structural requirements listed below will be performed by the structural engineer on the project. The following

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 23

requirements assume that the work area of the project does not exceed 50% of the aggregate building area.

The evaluation of structural elements and their connections is required consider the cumulative effects of alterations, additions, or changes of occupancy since the original construction, except where permitted by MEBC Section 101.9.

New Structure

New structural elements, including connections and anchorage, are required to meet the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction (MEBC 707.2).

Gravity Load-Carrying Structure

The load carrying capacity of structural members is not permitted to be reduced as a result of the project unless it can be demonstrated that the members meet the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction. If a structural element’s stress is increased by more than 5% since the time of original installation, it is required to comply with the provisions of 780 CMR for new construction (MEBC 707.4).

Lateral & Seismic Load-Carrying Structure

Voluntary seismic upgrades that are not otherwise required and are initiated for the purpose of improving the performance of the seismic force-resisting system are permitted, provided that they are supported by an engineering analysis (MEBC 707.6).

Any existing lateral load carrying element whose demand-capacity ratio is increased by more than 10% with the alteration considered (compared to when the alteration is ignored) is required to comply with the requirements of MEBC Section 807.4, which requires a structural investigation and analysis. Additionally, where the alteration results in a structural irregularity as defined in ASCE 7, the lateral load resisting structural elements are required to comply with MEBC Section 807.4 (MEBC 707.5).

6.10 Accessibility

6.10.1 521 CMR Application

The requirements of 521 CMR are limited to buildings or portions thereof that are open to the public. Employee-only spaces are exempt from these requirements; however, employee-only spaces that are occasionally visited by visitors are not.

Where the cost of the project exceeds 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, then all public portions of the building are subject to the requirements of 521 CMR (521 CMR 3.3).

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 24

6.10.1.1 Building Value

The full and fair cash value is shown as $271,200 on the Town of Tyngsborough Assessor’s Website5. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue has assigned Boston an assessment ratio of 0.956. Thus 30% of the full and fair cash value is $271,200 / 0.95 x 30% = $85,642. It is our understanding that the total cost of this project and all projects in the past 36 months will exceed this 30% threshold.

6.10.1.2 Existing Building Application

As the cost of the project will exceed 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, all public portions of the building are subject to the requirements of 521 CMR. The following are some of the major upgrades that would be required for this building:

All entrances are required to be accessible (521 CMR 25.1). All restrooms are required to be accessible (521 CMR 30.1). All doors are required to have compliant maneuvering clearances and

hardware (521 CMR 26.6). Doors are required to have a minimum clear width of 32” (521 CMR 26.5). Door thresholds? Door landings? All stair treads are required to have uniform depths and rise (521 CMR 27.2). Handrails are required on both sides of stairs with compliant extensions (521

CMR 27.4.1). The kitchen is required to be accessible if used by non-employees (521 CMR

32.1). Accessible seating in Sanctuary? Assisted listening devices in the Sanctuary (521 CMR 14.5.1).

6.10.1.3 Variances

MAAB also has variance process where relief may be granted based on illustrating that complying with the code is either not technically feasible given existing conditions or that the level of accessible benefit is disproportionate when compared with the cost to perform the work.

6.10.2 ADA Application

Although not enforced by any authority having jurisdiction on the project, the requirements of ADA are also applicable and enforced through civil litigation only. Code Red Consultants did not perform a comprehensive accessibility review of the

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 25

facility for ADA compliance. The scope of our analysis was limited to entrances, main accessible routes, and bathrooms which were available for inspection.

As the cost of the project exceeds 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, and a full accessibility evaluation in accordance with 521 CMR is required, it is expected that numerous accessible upgrades are planned to be made to the building as part of the project. These upgrades should be coordinated with the requirements of ADA where new work occurs.

The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) requires that altered portions of an existing building must be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities to the maximum extent feasible (ADAAG 36.402(a)(1)). Further, alterations to primary function areas should be made such that the level of accessibility, including the path of travel to the space, is made accessible to the maximum extent feasible. When determining if the upgrade is feasible, the ADAAG requirements state that the upgrade to the path of travel is disproportionate to the project when the cost to perform the work exceeds 20% of the cost of the alteration to the primary function area. In choosing which accessible elements to provide if the cost is disproportionate, priority should be given to those elements that will provide the greatest access, in the following order:

1. An accessible entrance

2. An accessible route to the altered area

3. At least one accessible restroom for each sex or a single unisex restroom

4. Accessible drinking fountains

5. Accessible telephones

When possible, additional accessible elements such as parking, storage, and alarms should be addressed if within the disproportionality criteria.

6.11 Energy Use

The proposed work is required to comply with the commercial provisions of the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Massachusetts Amendments.

Additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs to an existing building, building system, or portion thereof are required to conform to the provisions of the 2015 IECC as they relate to new construction without requiring the unaltered portions of the existing building or building system to comply with the 2015 IECC (IECC 101.4.3).

6.12 Plumbing Fixtures

The existing building is served by a total of two toilets, two urinals, and three sinks. There are two single-user toilet rooms and a third room with the two urinals and an additional sink. All existing fixtures are located on the Basement Level.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 26

As part of the project, it is planned to remove all existing toilet rooms and replace them with a new male and a new female toilet room on the Basement Level. These new group toilet rooms will be located in approximately the same location as the existing fixtures.

6.12.1 Quantities

248 CMR does not contain any provisions which outline when an updated plumbing fixture analysis is required in an existing building. Where existing fixtures are renovated or new fixtures are provided, the plumbing official could technically require the project to provide new toilet rooms throughout the building in accordance with new code requirements, sized using factors below.

Based on our conversations with CBI, the maximum expected program occupant load of the building consists of the following:

Scenario 1 o Basement: 50 people o First Floor: 6 people at alter, 200 people in pews o Second Floor: 35 people {program load from CBI} o Total: 291 assembly occupants (146 females, 146 males)

Scenario 2 o Basement: 50 people o First Floor: 6 people at alter, 200 people in pews o Second Floor: 0 people {program load from CBI based on unoccupied storage

functions} o Total: 256 assembly occupants {128 females, 128 males}

Using the above occupant load schemes and plumbing fixture factors, the required number of fixtures for the building is as follows:

3 female toilets 2 male toilets (1 of which is permitted to be substituted for a urinal) 1 sink for each sex

6.12.2 Plumbing Fixture Locations

Occupants in Assembly occupancies are not permitted to travel up or down a floor to reach the required fixtures. It is our understanding that the project proposes to only provide plumbing fixtures in the Basement (as currently configured). The proposed

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Page 27

approach of only providing toilet rooms on the Basement should be confirmed with the local plumbing official, with the following justification:

1. The quantity of new fixtures meet or exceed existing quantity.

2. There is no increase in the program occupant load of the building as a result of the project.

3. All new toilet room fixtures will be accessible, while none of the existing fixtures are.

4. Access to fixtures has been improved with the installation of the LULA.

5. The new fixtures will be provided in approximately the same location as the existing fixtures, thereby not appreciably increasing the travel distance.

6. There is minimal renovation work on the other floors of the building that would make installation of new fixtures technically infeasible.

7. The quantity of new fixtures can accommodate the maximum program occupant load expected at any time in the building (as evaluated above).

If you have any questions or comments on the above information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

ITEMS NOT CONSIDERED IN THIS ESTIMATE

Items not included in this estimate are:

All professional fees and insurance

Land acquisition, feasibility, and financing costs

All Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment

Items identified in the design as Not In Contract (NIC)

Items identified in the design as by others

Owner supplied and/or installed items (e.g. draperies, furniture and equipment)

Utility company back charges, including work required off-site

Work to City streets and sidewalks, (except as noted in this estimate)

Construction or occupancy phasing or off hours’ work, (except as noted in this estimate)

The estimate is based on prevailing wage rates for construction in this market and represents a reasonable opinion of cost. It is not a

prediction of the successful bid from a contractor as bids will vary due to fluctuating market conditions, errors and omissions,

proprietary specifications, lack or surplus of bidders, perception of risk, etc. Consequently the estimate is expected to fall within the

range of bids from a number of competitive contractors or subcontractors, however we do not warrant that bids or negotiated prices

will not vary from the final construction cost estimate.

This Schematic Design cost estimate was produced from drawings, outline specifications and other documentation prepared by

CBI Consulting Inc. and their design team dated April 3rd 2017. Design and engineering changes occurring subsequent to the

issue of these documents have not been incorporated in this estimate.

This estimate includes all direct construction costs, general contractor’s overhead and profit and design contingency. Cost escalation

assumes start dates indicated.

Bidding conditions are expected to be public bidding under Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws to pre-qualified general

contractors, and pre-qualified sub-contractors, open specifications for materials and manufacturers.
