1.0 Executive Summary
1.1 Property Summary
Property Name: Rural Dell Elementary School
Property Address: 10500 So. Hwy 211 Molalla, Oregon 97038
Property Usage: K-5 Educational
1.2 Property Description
The subject property consists of 3 parcels of land totaling 12.89 acres.
They are identified on the Clackamas County Tax Assessor Records as Parcel I.D.’s:
#01072948 which covers .79 acres
#01072920 which covers 6.54 acres
#01072939 which covers 5.56 acres a
and is listed under the address of: 10500 So. Hwy 211 Molalla, Oregon 97038
It is improved with 2 buildings totaling 26,500 square feet (SF) and one original building
designated historical and built circa 1925. This building is currently in violation of
Fire/Life/Safety codes and is not available for District utilization. This building is 2,918 square
feet (SF). See Appendix #4.
The building, which was constructed originally in 1925 with additions is of wood concrete
foundation with predominately wood structure and brick, wood and metal covering exterior
walls.
The roofing system is comprised of BUR (Built up roofing), 3 tab asphalt shingles, standing
seam metal roof and roof panels.
The foundation appeared to consist of concrete slabs with spread footings for load bearing
walls.
There are no basements or crawl spaces associated with the subject property building except for
the unusable original building.
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 6
Property amenities include the following:
Gravel onsite parking, some street parking in frontof the building.
The subject property is serviced by electricity, natural gas, well water and septic sewer system.
1.3 General Physical Condition
General Condition: Fair
Level of Maintenance: Good
1.4 Recommendations & Discussion
There are some ongoing issues with roof leaks and a very poor gutter system that
currently is allowing water to penetrate walls and cause damage. The front office has poor
visibility of visitors to the building increasing risk to student safety particularly considering
proximity to major road. The facility does not provide an ADA compliant handicap bathroom
and there is not an easy solution without moving some walls. The parking lot and sidewalk along
the front of the school should undergo a major design and upgrade.
2.0 Purpose, Scope and Limitations
2.1 Purpose Hill International was retained to conduct a Property Condition Assessment of the
subject property. The purpose of the assessment was to provide an objective, independent,
professional opinion of the current state of the subject property or those portions of the property
identified for consideration by the owner.
2.2 Scope of Work The assessment was conducted in accordance with American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property
Condition Assessment Process E 2018-08, Building Condition Evaluation Form as has been
utilized in the State of Washington and generally accepted industry standards.
The specific scope of work included the following:
Document Review and Interviews - Efforts were made to review records or documents, if
readily available, to specifically identify, or assist in the identification of, physical
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 7
deficiencies, as well as any preceding or ongoing efforts, or a combination thereof including
building certificates of occupancy, outstanding and recorded material building code violations,
and recorded material fire code violations. Only such record information that is reasonably
ascertainable from standard sources was reviewed. Any information not practically reviewable or
not provided to Hill International in a reasonable time to formulate an opinion and
complete the PCA, will be stated in the PCA, and Hill International will have no
further obligation of retrieving such documentation or reviewing it if it is subsequently
provided.
It is understood that information will be provided to Hill International
within ten business days of the source receiving appropriate inquiry, without an in-person
request being required, and at no more than a nominal cost to cover the source’s cost of
retrieving and duplicating the information. The inspection does not include a regulatory or
code compliance audit of the facility.
Hill International provided the owner or owner’s representative, or both, with a
pre-survey questionnaire. In addition, if readily available, Hill International
requested the following documents and information that may be in the possession of or
provided by the owner, owner’s representative, user, or combination thereof, as appropriate and
reviewed each of those made available:
1. Real Property Appraisal,
2. safety inspection records,
3. warranty information (roofs, boilers, chillers, cooling towers, etc.),
4. records indicating the age of material building systems such as roofing, paving,
plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, etc.,
5. historical costs incurred for repairs, improvements, recurring replacements, etc.,
6. descriptions of future work planned,
7. outstanding citations for building,
8. fire and zoning code violations,
9. any ADA survey
10. status of any improvements implemented to effect physical compliance,
11. previously prepared property condition reports or studies pertaining to any aspect of
the subject property’s physical condition,
12. marketing/promotional literature such as photographs, descriptive information,
reduced floor plans, etc.,
13. drawings and specifications (as-built or construction). Very few historical documents
are available.
14. AHERA Survey
Hill International requested that the owner or user identify a person or persons
knowledgeable of the physical characteristics, maintenance, and repair of the property as a
primary point of contact (POC).
Hill International interviewed the POC, property manager or agent of the owner to
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 8
inquire about the subject property’s historical repairs and replacements and their costs, level
of preventive maintenance exercised, pending repairs and improvements, frequency of
repairs and replacements, and existence of ongoing or pending litigation related to subject
property’s physical condition.
Walk-Through Survey - The report is based on observations made during the property
“walk-through.” Observations were limited to “representative” property improvements
including exterior surfaces and open spaces, accessible areas of the roof, representative units,
and mechanical, staff, vacant and common areas. Limited or no inspection or investigation
behind walls, inside plenums or in any other generally inaccessible areas was performed. The
investigation of the building facade was performed from street and/or balcony level. The
riding of scaffolding equipment was not part of the scope of Hill International’s
services. No physical tests were made nor were any samples for engineering analysis
collected. As such, Hill International makes no warranties regarding EIFS
systems, curtain walls or other building skin conditions that would not be readily observable
and would, therefore, be considered outside the scope of this assignment. Reliance was
placed on the accuracy and disclosure of property representatives.
A visual survey for mold was conducted. The survey was limited to visual observations in
the areas walked and should not be considered a comprehensive survey of the property. No
sampling was conducted. No inspection or investigation behind walls or in any other
generally inaccessible areas was performed. A conclusion that no mold was observed,
therefore, should not be taken as the property is mold free or concerns do not exist in areas
that were not inspected. Any indication(s) of mold observed during the Property Condition
Assessment will be documented and reported in the Property Condition Report.
The observed condition of building structures and components evaluated were broken down into
one of the following descriptions:
1) Poor - Requiring action immediately or within 12 months;
2) Fair - Serviceable, but showing age and wear, and will require maintenance, repair or
replacement during short term – 3- 5 years;
2) Good - No major signs of age or wear, may need replacement during the medium
term;
4) Excellent - New or like new.
Systems to be Observed:
Property/Site Features - Observations were conducted at the property as to the type,
condition and adequacy of the following items: general topography, storm water drainage,
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 9
ingress and egress, paving, curbing and parking, flatwork, landscaping and appurtenances,
recreational facilities, amenities and ancillary structures, and utilities.
Building Frame and Envelope - Observations were conducted at the property as to the type,
condition and adequacy of the following items: substructure, superstructure, facade, and
roofing.
Interior Elements - Observations were conducted at the property as to the type, condition and
adequacy of the following items: interior finishes, fixtures, appliances, and furnishings.
Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical - Observations were conducted at the property as to the
type, condition and adequacy of the following items: plumbing, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning, electrical, and elevators/escalators.
Life Safety/Fire Protection and ADA Requirements - Observations were conducted at the
property as to the type, condition and adequacy of the life safety and fire protection systems.
Visual Accessibility ADA Survey. The survey included a limited visual assessment of the
subject property to assess if it is accessible and useable by individuals with disabilities in
accordance with the ADA of 1990, Title III, Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities.
The provisions of Title III provide that persons with disabilities should have accommodations
and access to public accommodation and commercial facilities, which are equal to, or similar to,
those available to the general public.
Public accommodations and commercial facilities constructed or renovated after January 1992
must be brought into compliance with ADA guidelines. Public accommodations constructed
prior to January 1992 must make affirmative attempts to be in compliance. This screening is not
to be considered an in-depth ADA survey or audit. The opinions regarding ADA compliance
should be considered preliminary. The purpose of the limited visual survey is to provide a
general observation of the level of attention paid to keeping the property ADA compliant.
Instructional Adequacy An assessment was made of the characteristics and condition of
instructional facilities including all classrooms, athletics, drama, science, art, storage,
instructional technology and related infrastructure.
Photographs representative of Hill International’s observations are included
in Appendix 1 – Property Photographs. In addition to visual observations, letters to and
responses from municipal and regulatory agencies are included in Appendix 4. Hill International
relied on the sources and contacted the individuals listed within the
report and the appendices.

2.3 Limitations
Hill International has performed the services and prepared this report in
accordance with generally accepted consulting practices, and makes no other warranties, either
expressed or implied, as to the character and nature of such services or product.
Hill International, its officers, and its employees have no present or contemplated
interest in the property. Our employment and compensation for preparing this report are not
contingent upon our observations or conclusions.
Information in this report, concerning equipment operation, condition of spaces and concealed
areas not observed or viewable and for the disclosure of known problems, if any, is from
sources deemed to be reliable, including, but not limited to property managers and
maintenance personnel; however, no representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy
thereof.
No PCA can wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence of physical deficiencies
and the performance of a subject property’s building systems. Preparation of a PCA in
is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the potential for component or
system failure and to reduce the potential that such component or system may not be initially
observed. The inherent subjective nature of a consultant’s opinions as to such issues as
workmanship, quality of original installation, and estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
of any given component or system are not exhaustive and are predictive only. Users of this
Property Condition Assessment recognize that a consultant’s suggested remedy may be
determined under time constraints, formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing,
exploratory probing, the removal of materials, or design. Furthermore, there may be other
alternate or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy the physical deficiency.

9.2 ADA Issues
All places of public accommodation and commercial facilities constructed for first occupancy
after January 26, 1993 must be constructed to be accessible. Any alteration made to a place of
public accommodation or commercial facility after January 26, 1992, must be made so as to
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 21
ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered portions of the facility are readily
accessible to and useable by individuals with disabilities. Alterations include, but are not
limited to, remodeling, renovations, rehabilitation, reconstruction, historic restoration, changes
or rearrangement in the plan configuration of walls and full-height partitions. Normal
maintenance, reroofing, painting or wallpapering, asbestos removal, or changes to mechanical
and electrical systems are not alterations unless they affect the usability of the building or
facility.
A public accommodation is required to remove architectural barriers in existing facilities,
prior to the making of any alterations, where such removal is readily achievable, i.e., easily
accomplished and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense. Examples
include, but are not limited to, providing designated handicapped parking spaces, adding small
ramps and curb cuts, widening doorways, rearranging furniture, adding raised markings on
elevators, installing grab bars in toilet stalls and rearranging toilet partitions to increase
maneuvering space. If not readily achievable, alternative methods of providing service, such
as access to the management office, must be offered. Alternative methods include, but are not
limited to, installing an intercom system between the leasing office and an accessible area, or
relocating activities to accessible locations. It is the property owner’s burden to prove that a
modification is not readily achievable, or would pose an undue financial or administrative
burden.
The scope of this limited visual survey is specifically limited to the following five areas: path of-
travel, parking, public toilet restrooms, and elevators. The opinions regarding ADA compliance
should be considered preliminary. The purpose of the limited visual survey is to provide a
general observation of the level of attention paid to keeping the property ADA compliant.
Parking Spaces: There are two marked handicap spaces on the south side of the building.
Accessibility/Path of Travel: There are no apparent issues.
Public Restrooms: There are no ADA compliant restrooms in this facility.
Signage: There are some minor issues noted per ADA guidelines.
General Condition: Poor
Recommendations: Hire an ADA specialist architect to solve the issue.
9.3 Microbial Contamination (Mold)
A visual/olfactory survey for mold was conducted. The survey was limited to observations in
the areas walked and should not be considered a comprehensive survey of the property. No
sampling was conducted. No inspection or investigation behind walls or in any other
PCA - Rural Dell Elementary School 22
generally inaccessible areas was performed. In addition, inquiries were made of the owner
and/or manager of the Property regarding past and current leaks or any known mold issues,
any tenant complaints regarding health problems, musty odors or water leaks. In addition,
when applicable, areas of reported or likely significant leaks or water intrusion/penetration
were inspected.
Observations: No mold noted in site walk.
