Maintenance

Maintenance of the Campus is shared between the Center and the Lessor (State of Washington).

The Center’s Maintenance staff uses Brightly to process work orders and periodic maintenance (PMs) of government owned equipment. The Lessor maintenance staff uses Bench Mate facility software to process work orders received from the Center for Lessor owned equipment. The total number of Center’s maintenance staff is 4: one supervisor, one custodian, and two maintenance support staff. Random checks of air handler filters indicate proper filter replacements are occurring. The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) staff is sufficiently maintaining these aged facilities.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

2.1 Background

The Cascades JCC is located on 80 acres of land in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. The land and buildings are leased and operated by the Lifeskill Connections LCC. The facility was originally built in 1909. It was activated as a JCC in 1982. The Campus has 234,050 gross square feet (GSF) in 23 buildings.

The original construction was 1909 on 225 acres for the Northern State Hospital. The hospital project started in 1909 when the State of Washington purchased land to build a mental institution and retained Olmsted Brothers architects to design the master plan for the site. The landscape design was completed in 1911, and the Northern State Hospital opened in 1913. The hospital closed in 1973, and the buildings and site were remodeled to house the Young Adult Conservation Corps (YACC). YACC provided job experience for young adults who, in turn, helped with conservation work on public land. 1977 YACC became Camp Cascade, administered by the United States of America Forest Service and National Park Service. Since Camp Cascade also offered job training, the DOL became the third administrator of the YACC program. Camp Cascade was re-named State Multi-Service Center after the Skagit Valley College started offering students educational programs.

In December 2010, the entire site was categorized as a ‘Historic District, and most of its buildings were awarded a ‘Historic Contributing building designation. Cascade's land and nine of its buildings are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The Cascades JCC provides residential living, academic education, recreation, and vocational training for a population of 300 students as in the Table 1. Dormitory beds per each wing are in Table 2.

2.3 General Site Conditions

The Center is located at 48.31° N, 122.12° W at an average elevation of 128 feet above sea level.

The Center is within the ASHRAE 4C Marine Climate Zone. The average temperatures range from an average high of 47 and an average low of 35 degrees in January to an average high of 74 and an average low of 53 degrees in July. Cascades receives 46.46 inches of annual rainfall and an average annual snowfall of 7 inches.

View of the rural surrounding around the Center

The site is located in a rural setting approximately 72 miles north of Seattle.

The campus perimeter is not fenced. The property is surrounded by a wooded area on the north and west and by farmland on the east and south. Main vehicular access is from the west side. The access road terminates into Hub Drive, a loop road along which most campus buildings are disposed of linearly. The north segment of Hub Drive separates the day from the night campus. The day campus, which includes education, vocations, medical/dental, administration, and storage/support, is located on the north side of this segment. The night campus, which includes housing, food services, and recreation, is on the south side of this road.

The main entrance to the Center is Hub Drive at the northwest corner of the Center and loops around. It leads to the visitor parking and Security/Safety Building 34. The visitor parking is covered with compacted gravel. This parking area is not adequate. Asphalt-covered parking areas for staff and Center vehicles are between Administration Education Medical Dental Building 32, and parking surfaces have deteriorated. The asphalt surfaces of Hub Drive Road and the secondary loop road south of Storage 62 and Vocation Building 31 have also deteriorated. The total number of parking spaces is 3 for visitors, 142 for staff, 13 for GSA, and 2 for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

Pedestrian circulation is directed toward the interior, and sidewalks connect the buildings. The sidewalks are concrete, with curb cuts. Some sidewalks along the main loop road and main parking area are deteriorated. Decorative concrete pavers and concrete sidewalks facilitate pedestrian access to buildings.

The topography is flat; grass, trees, and plantings are abundant between and along the buildings. The landscaped areas are well maintained. A large, green commons between the day and night campus affords breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. For informal gatherings and outdoor recreation, the Center has four gazebos, three pavilions, and outdoor courts (basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball).

Stormwater flows by gravity to an underground system. The State built two bio-swales, a detention pond, and stormwater pumps to control stormwater better and prevent soil erosion. However, water ponding occurs east and west of Dormitory Academic Evergreen Dormitory Building 15 and southwest of Whitewater Dormitory Building 17. Soil erosion was noted south of Dining Hall Building 13.

View of the West side of Campus

2.3.1 Water

The domestic water supply and sanitary system services are provided by the Skagit County Public Utility District No. 1. Water usage is measured by water meters at individual buildings while others are zoned. Buildings 10, 12, 13, and 57 are individually metered, and all other buildings are zoned metered. The water meters are in good working condition.

Water pressure and flow are adequate for both domestic use and fire protection. The Lessor owns and maintains the domestic water distribution system, which is in good condition and functions adequately.

2.3.2 Fire Protection

Fire protection for the Center is provided by several fire hydrants strategically located within the Campus. The wet sprinkler system provides coverage in dormitory Buildings 12, 15, 16, and 17. The local municipality provides adequate water pressure for both the fire hydrants and the building’s wet sprinkler systems. The fire hydrants and sprinkler systems are owned and maintained by the Lessor, and the sprinkler systems are inspected per NFPA requirements, which is yearly. The Center is supported by the Sedro Woolley Fire Department, located at 325 Metcalf Street, Sedro Woolley, which is approximately 3 miles away and has an estimated response time of four minutes.

2.3.3 Sewer

The underground sewer from the Center flows into the publicly owned wastewater treatment plant by means of gravity and a lift station west of Administration Building 32.

The systems are in good condition and function adequately. The Lessor maintains the underground sewer within the Center.

2.3.4 Stormwater

Stormwater at the Center is managed by surface run-off and underground drains that direct surface run-off to an underground storm drain system. The Center has a combination of hilly and flat areas, resulting in minor ponding in some areas, but otherwise, the stormwater system operates adequately. Soil erosion problems have been identified near the south side of Dining Hall Building 13. The Lessor maintains the stormwater system.

2.3.5 Gas

The underground natural gas is supplied by Cascade Natural Gas Corporation. Gas usage is measured at the master meter located north of Dining Hall Building 13. A 500-gallon above-ground propane tank located in the northwest corner of Admission and Placement Building 57 provides propane gas to the building for heating. The Lessor owns and maintains the gas distribution lines within its site. The natural gas pressure and flow to the Center are adequate, in good condition, and functioning well.

2.3.6 Electrical

Electric service is provided by Puget Sound Energy (PSE). The 12.47/4.16 kV primary lines are brought to the main switchgear located in the Lessor's powerhouse. This switchgear serves the entire complex, including Cascades JCC buildings and Lessor's buildings. The primary 4.16 kV feeders from the switchgear emanate to the buildings through a loop of transformer vaults via a tunnel network. The 120/208V secondary distribution system is distributed to DOL leased buildings via their respective service disconnect and/or main distribution panel. Most major buildings have their own meter, while others are zone metered. The dormitories and cafeteria have backup power derived from the Lessor's 400 kW diesel engine generator. The utility company owns and maintains the electrical system, and it is adequate.

2.3.7 Site Lighting

Site lighting consists of pole-mounted and building-mounted lights controlled by photocells and time clocks. Site lighting is adequate for the Campus, owned and maintained by the Lessor.

2.3.8 Communications

2.4 General Building Conditions

The twenty-three buildings on site were built at various times between 1922 and 1995. Eighteen buildings were part of the original hospital complex; the other five were built after the conversion to JCC.

Building structural systems vary from load-bearing concrete or masonry to wood framing. The storage buildings are wood-framed. The original buildings were designed in the Spanish colonial revival style, with red clay tile roofs and stucco walls. Over the years, as roofs were replaced, fiberglass shingles were installed on the new roofs, matching the texture and color of the original clay tiles. Most of the buildings have stucco finishes on the facades. A few others have finishes varying from corrugated plastic, concrete, exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS), wood siding, and plaster. Various buildings throughout the Center have exterior plaster walls that are chipped, cracked, and water stained. However, these conditions are limited to small to medium size areas and, in most instances, are cosmetic. Nevertheless, this matter should be addressed before the conditions worsen and allow water to infiltrate, further deteriorating the plaster and potentially damaging interior finishes.

Building 15 Academic Evergreen Dormitory

Mount Rainier Dormitory Building 12, Dining Hall Building 13, Academic Evergreen Dormitory Building 15, Challenger Dormitory Building 16, Whitewater Dormitory Building 17, Registrar’s Office Building 24, Warehouse Receiving Building 27E, Cultural Center Building 30 and Vocation Building 31 are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

All buildings on Campus are in fair to good condition. The State is responsible for maintaining all building systems, including the building envelopes. Most roofs are approaching the end of their life expectancy. Though roof deterioration is present in most buildings, no active leaks exist. The State has proactively identified and monitored significant problems with building conditions and secured funding to correct roof and building skin deficiencies.

Over the past few years, energy-inefficient single-glazed windows in 14 buildings were replaced with double-glazed windows in 14 buildings were replaced with double-glazed insulated windows.

Eighteen structures built between 1933 and 2018 serve recreational, storage, and utility needs.

Carport 58, Storage 61, and Greenhouse 64 structures are in fair condition. Shed 70 and Storage 53 structures are in poor condition. All other structures are in good condition and function well.

2.4.1 Roofing Issues

The single-ply roof on Recreation/Gymnasium Building 10, and the EPDM Roof on Center Maintenance Shop Building 28 is old and deteriorated, past life expectancy.

2.5 Preventive Maintenance

Overall, the maintenance of the Center is fair. The Lessor (Port of Skagit) is responsible for maintaining the buildings, building systems, and utility systems and for periodically inspecting regulated equipment/systems such as fire sprinklers, fire hydrants, boilers, and kitchen hood fire suppression. All inspections were complete and up to date during the Facility Survey. The Lessor is utilizing the Bench Mate facility maintenance management software. The underground utility tunnel connects and serves the heating and ventilation for Dormitory Buildings 12, 15, 16, and

17. Access to the steam plant is limited to Lessor maintenance staff only. The Center utilizes Brightly, a facility Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), for its maintenance tasks. Corrective work orders are transmitted, scheduled, and closed using this program. Most of the O&M deficiencies have been completed. The Center has a written Preventive Maintenance Plan (PMP) and provided a completed Center PMP Checklist within the facility survey confirmation package.

2.6 Facility Assessment by Function

2.6.1 Student Housing

The Center accommodates 150 resident women and 150 resident men in four buildings. All four dormitory buildings are laid out in a ‘T’ type configuration. Mount Rainier Dormitory Building 12, Dining Hall Building 13, Academic Evergreen Dormitory Building 15, Challenger Dormitory Building 16, and Whitewater Dormitory Building 17 were constructed in 1922, 1927, 1927, and 1933, respectively. The sleeping rooms have two or as many as four beds (some bunk beds), and bathrooms are shared. Currently, the Center has a capacity of 304 beds.

The dormitory rooms were originally designed as open bays and later converted into individual rooms. The number of sleeping rooms per floor varies. Also, the sleeping rooms vary in shape, size, and number of beds. Mount Rainier Dormitory Building 12, Academic Evergreen Dormitory Building 15, and Challenger Dormitory Building 16 are very similar. The main entry, vestibule, and vertical circulation (a ramp, in the case of Building

15) are located on the north side of the building. Classrooms and associated offices occupy the first floor of Academic Evergreen Dormitory Building 15. The second floor of Building 15 is student housing, which is vacant due to the decrease in the student population and ongoing renovations. A large student lounge is located in the middle of the second-floor south wing. Other shared areas are located at the intersection of the ‘T’ wings, and they contain an interior stair connecting all floors, including the basement and the attic, toilet rooms, showers, staff toilets, luggage storage, laundry, and janitor closets.

Interior of dormitory room Challenger Dormitory Building 16

All three dormitory buildings have metal fire escape stairs at both ends of the south wing. Whitewater Dormitory Building 17 is similar; however, this building has three stories and a mansard roof. On the third floor, the honor dormitory has a small study room and a pantry east and west of a large lounge. The former large meeting room, located on the east side in the north wing, was converted into a dormitory sleeping room to accommodate new students for their first day on campus. However, the room does not have a dedicated toilet/shower. All other sleeping rooms on this floor have dedicated shower rooms with storage closets. Also, the shared toilet room, located at the intersection of the ‘T’ wings, was converted to a laundry room. The laundry rooms in Dormitory Buildings 12, 15, 16, and 17 lack sufficient make-up air.

The heating and ventilation systems in the dormitories are old, function poorly, and are inadequate, resulting in areas not effectively zoned for heating and temperature control.

Also, contributing to the heating and ventilation problem, furniture is placed in front of the return air grilles in many sleeping rooms.

2.6.2 Education

All the academic and non-academic functions are housed in four buildings, which are located on the day campus, except for some classrooms in one of the Academic/Evergreen Dormitory Building

The academic rooms on the first floor of the Academics/Evergreen Dormitory Building 15 are vacant and under renovation. Only four offices are in use at the back of the building.

Vocational Building 25 is currently vacant. The future use of this building has not been determined.

Despite the age of some buildings (six buildings were built between 1922 and 1947), the educational and vocational facilities function well, are adequate, and are in general good condition.

2.6.3 Food Service

Food Service, located in the Dining Hall Building 13, contains a dining area, kitchen/food preparation, food storage, serving, dishwashing functions, a small clubhouse, and a vacant Culinary Arts vocation area located in the northern section of the building. The Culinary Arts vocation was discontinued from the curriculum.

However, all the Culinary Arts kitchen equipment is still in place. The building is located at the center of the night campus, between Dormitory Buildings 12 and 15.

The main entry to the kitchen and dining hall are located on the east side. A painted steel portico’ and two gabled canopies above the entries protect against the elements along the east façade. Also, ramps are provided at the two east entrances for accessibility, one to the dining hall and one to the kitchen. There is a ramp on the northwest side of the building to access the former Culinary Arts area and the loading dock. The kitchen functions occupy the central part of the building. A service corridor connects to storage, freezer, and locker areas, a loading dock, and the former Culinary Arts vocation at the far north end of the building.

The medical-dental suite is located in the northern section of the west wing of Administration/ Education/Medical-Dental Building 32. A common reception area separates the medical director suite on the south from the medical-dental suite on the north. The medical-dental suite can be accessed directly from the covered porch at the northeast side of the building’s west wing. It has a large waiting room, examination rooms, male and female wards, a unisex restroom, medical and dental offices, two separate laboratories, supplies, Dental exam room and medication storage. The executive suite Admin./Education/ Medical-Dental Building 32 contains a large conference room, the medical director's office, records, and medical offices. The asphalt shingle roof on TAEP Meeting Room Building 33B is in poor condition and at the end of its life expectancy. The medical facilities are maintained well, in good condition, adequate, and function well.

2.6.7 Storage/Support

The Center’s storage/support functions are located in six buildings clustered on the northeast side of the day campus.

Maintenance Storage Building 26, Warehouse/Receiving Building 27E, Center Maintenance Shop Building 28, Maintenance Equipment Storage A Building 50, Tractor Shed Building 63, and Warehouse Storage B Structure 51. The buildings/structures were constructed in 1933, 1953, 1984, 1985, and 1995, respectively. Most storage functions are Second-floor storage room located in the basement, first and second Warehouse/Receiving Building 27E floors of Warehouse/Receiving Building 27E. The Center uses this building for general and excess storage, clothing storage, warehouse supplies, and receiving. The building is served by a loading dock on the south side and ramps on the west side. The ramps provide a direct link and transition to the warehouse in the southeast section of Medical Assistant/ Medical Office Specialist Building 27W.

2.7 Environmental Management

The Cascades JCC has asbestos-containing materials on-site, primarily asbestos floor tile and mastic. All asbestos-containing materials must be kept in good condition in an O&M program that includes condition observation and recordkeeping every six months. The Center must have an asbestos coordinator with current training to oversee its asbestos program. The above-ground gasoline tank needs spill-prevention containment. The containment should be cinder block containment high enough to contain 110% of the tank's volume with a valve for stormwater drainage. The State of Washington and the Port of Skagit County are investigating the potential contamination of under-slab areas at Vocations Building 31 for the presence of dry-cleaning chemicals. During the period of operation as a hospital campus, Building 31 was used as a laundry facility. An environmental report on the investigation findings will be provided to the ESC Project Manager.

The Center observed or reported no other environmental issues during the October 2023 facility survey. Please see the Environmental Management Report section for the asbestos-containing materials (ACM) inventory report for more details on the locations of asbestos at the Center.

Warehouse/Receiving Building 27E, although 81 years old, is in good overall condition and serves the needs of the Center well. The warehouse in Building 27W also opens to the loading dock, shared by Buildings 27E and 27W. Center maintenance functions are located in Center Maintenance Shop Building 28, which houses the large maintenance shop with mezzanine storage, supply storage, maintenance supervisor’s office, laundry room, and rest room. The warehouse space

Loading dock area Warehouse/ Receiving Building 27E is adequate and functions well. Yard equipment, paint storage, and flammable storage are located in Maintenance Equipment Storage Building 29. Acetylene and oxygen containers are located outside the north wall and enclosed within fenced storage bins. Lawn and gardening equipment is located in Tractor Shed Building 63. Additional storage is in Warehouse Storage A Building 50 and Warehouse Storage B Structure 51. The asphalt shingle roofs on Maintenance Storage Building 26, Warehouse Storage A Building 50, and Tractor Shed Building 63 are in poor condition and are at the end of their life expectancy.

All storage/support buildings are generally in fair condition and function well.

2.8 Resource Use and Conservation: Energy and Water Conservation Energy and water usage and associated trends are summarized below for Cascades JCC. This data includes the fiscal year that ended in September of 2022, and most of the staff and student populations have increased to the normal levels.

2.8.1 Background

Table 3, Electricity and Water Statistics – FY2022, has current electricity, natural gas, and water usage and cost. (Energy Watchdog 2022) Electric, natural gas and water unit costs are lower than the Average Cost in Job Corps.

Table 3: Energy and Water Statistics – FY2022 Energy Usage Cost Unit Cost Average Cost in Job Corps Electricity 1,425,322 kWh $139,421.34 $0.098/kWh $0.142/kWh Natural Gas 1,980.69 CCF $2,485.19 $1.255/CCF $1.287/CCF Water 3,637.78 kgal $44,437.39 $12.000/kgal $3.000/kgal Total $186,343.92

Notes: 1. This analysis is based on the latest energy information available.

2. Financial Year 2022 (FY2022) energy data are the latest entire year available for analysis.

With closures and the return student population due to Covid, FY2022 was an anomalous year

3. kgal = thousand gallons; kWh = kilowatt-hours; CCF= Centum cubic feet (100 cubic feet)

2.8.2 Energy Data Issues

The Cascades JCC began posting electricity and natural gas data in FY1985 until FY2000 when no records for electricity exist until the first and fourth quarters of FY2003 and then were consistent going forward. Natural Gas records stopped in FY2000, then resumed for the third and fourth quarters of FY2001, the third quarter only of FY2002 and the first and fourth quarters of FY2003 then it became consistent going forward. Water records began in FY2004 and have been consistent with each year’s information going forward.

2.8.3 Benchmarking

The DOL has set the following goals in the Sustainability Report and Implementation Plan for energy intensity and water intensity reduction. These goals will be used to benchmark each JCC. (Table 4)

Table 4: DOL Energy and Water Intensity Reduction Goals Energy Intensity Reduction Water Intensity Reduction

From FY2021 to FY2022 1.5% 1.5% From FY2022 to FY2023 1.5% 1.5%

Table 5: Energy and Water Benchmarking

Category FY2022 Intensity Baseline Year

Baseline Intensity FY2022 Target

Difference from

Target Energy 71,962 BTU/GSF FY2021 62,395 BTU/GSF 61,459 BTU/GSF +15.0% Water 3,637.77 kgal FY2021 2,944.33 kgal 2,900.17 kgal +20.0%

Green – meeting target, Yellow- within 10% of target. Red – not meeting target.

The Center is NOT meeting its energy goal (Actual +15.0%) The Center is NOT meeting its water goal (Actual +20.0%)

With closures and decreased student population and then the return of students and staff due to Covid safety protocols, FY2022 was an anomalous year. These conditions would likely be the cause of the disparity of the 2021 to 2022 energy and water intensities.

Figure 1 shows the Energy Intensity in BTU/GSF FY2013-FY2022. Energy intensity reached to its highest point in FY2014, then trended downward to its lowest point in FY2017. Figure 2 shows the Energy Usage in MMBTU for FY2013-FY2022.
