Pleasanton Century House Assessment Report <br />March 30, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />2. Any project modification will include all new finishes, furniture and equipment within <br />the remodeled space. While some of the existing finishes are cosmetically <br />adequate, any modifications will be extensive enough to require replacement or <br />repair of almost everything. New finishes are assumed to be in keeping with the <br />style of the existing architecture. <br />3. Upgrades to the existing restrooms will need to. be based on potential uses of the <br />space to determine specific required fixture counts. For this assessment it is <br />assumed that the restrooms will be remodeled to be accessible (with removal of <br />fixtures as required to meet accessibility requirements) and that any additional <br />required fixtures would have. to be accommodated elsewhere on site in a separate <br />structure. <br />4. The existing electrical service to the building is not adequate for the planned <br />renovations and an upgraded service panel is recommended. The project does not <br />include segregating electrical and mechanical loads to individual panels, as would <br />be required in new construction under current code. <br />5. The existingmechanical system is at the end of it's useful life and requires <br />replacement to bring to operation, safe, and code compliant standard. Currently <br />there is no HVAC provided at the second level, and any modifications would require <br />the installation of a new system to serve this area. If occupancy increase is <br />anticipated (which is the case in any re -use scenario), all existing equipment, <br />ductwork, and registers will require removal and replacement with multiple units with <br />increased capacity and ducted outside air provisions. <br />6. The existing plumbing systems are at the end of useful life and require replacement <br />to bring to operation, safe, and code compliant standard. If occupancy change is <br />anticipated, major system rework shall be required, including removal and <br />replacement of all piping and fixtures and equipment. <br />7. The building structural system exhibits many deficiencies, including dry rot and <br />significant material deficiencies throughout, insufficient shear transfer from roof to <br />walls to foundation, inadequate connections of building framing to foundations and <br />other miscellaneous deficiencies. <br />The following sections present a general Basis of Design for the proposed improvements: <br />Architectural <br />Required Improvements to meet basic code compliance for current or revised floor plans <br />include: <br />1. Renovation .to existing ramp to provide compliant path of travel to the entry <br />2. Replacement of stair handrails and modification of stair treads <br />3. Modification of exterior deck railings for code compliance <br />4. Replacement of damaged deck material <br />5. Replacement of exterior siding materials as required to replace weather damage <br />6. Repainting of exterior surfaces <br />7. Roofing replacement <br />8.
