(5) 19AU9025Q0014_Attachment_3_Parapet_inspection_report.pdf

This document is an inspection report for the U.S. Embassy Chancery located at Boltzmanngasse 16 in Vienna, Austria, focusing on the parapet area, roof, and windows. The inspection reveals significant structural and maintenance issues, including damaged parapet walls with cracks, deteriorating roof cladding, and windows at the end of their lifecycle. The architectural drawings and photographic evidence document the condition of the historic Baroque Revival building, specifically highlighting the attic floor (5th floor) area at a height of 23.25m and a length of 70m.

The inspection photos and architectural plans detail specific defects such as rusted tie-backs, compromised gutter connections, and deteriorating window frames. The proposed renovation project aims to address these issues through comprehensive repairs, including de-rusting and repainting tie-backs, replacing wooden windows with modern double-pane alternatives, fixing gutter and downspout connections, and replacing metal window flashing. Special considerations include external access only, requiring a lifting platform and an American escort, with an estimated construction cost between $25,000 and $100,000. The project is part of a solicitation (19AU9025Q0014) issued by the Department of State to mitigate potential safety risks from falling building components.
