• Paved parking lots preferred. If paved, parking spaces must be clearly marked.

3. Recurring Maintenance

• Painted surfaces should be kept in acceptable condition to provide a professional looking appearance and repainted at least every 5 years.

FORM PO-27 Lease Specifications (2023) NC-eProcurement (eVP)- version 001 Page 11

• Existing Pavement should be kept in acceptable condition to provide safe operational appearance (cracks and potholes repaired no later than 60 days after reporting).

• Mechanical systems to be kept to manufacturer standards for preventative maintenance.

• Floor coverings to be repaired and cleaned to present a professional appearance.

4. Repair response

• Repairs to systems that prevent operation of the office (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, lighting) are required as soon as possible.

• Repairs to safety and health issues are required as soon as possible.

• Repairs to cosmetic issues that affect the professional appearance of the office are required within 10 days.

The most critical issue to the State during the term of the lease deals with the Lessor’s response time to problems and repair issues and the completeness and adequacy of the repairs. If a Lessor does not complete repair/maintenance work in a timely manner and cannot demonstrate good faith efforts to complete said work, then the State may use this performance record to decline to enter into leasing future arrangements or renew lease options with this Lessor.

Prior to entering into a lease with the successful proposer the space or building plans will be inspected/reviewed by an inspector selected by the State. Listed below are some of the more important deficiencies that will be addressed by the review.

I. IMPROPER EXITS OR EXIT ACCESS

- Lack of adequate number of exits to outside or exit stairs from upper floors.

- Improper fire-rated enclosure of exit stairs. This includes lack of B-label stairway doors, proper closers, and/or UL listed latching hardware.

- Exit and stair doors which swing in the wrong direction, or which have locks that prevent rapid free egress in emergency.

II. PARTITIONS OR INTERIOR CONSTRUCTION NON-COMPLYING WITH CODE

- Use of combustible partitions or paneling in buildings required to be of non-combustible construction.

- Improper enclosure of oil or gas fired boiler/furnace rooms.

- No safety glass or wired glass where required by Code.

- Lack of one-hour fire rated tenant separation.

III. FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT

- Building lacks sprinklers OR automatic fire detection system with alarms transmitted off-premises. NOTE: This may not be a Code requirement but is highly desirable. Because the State is self-insured, it gives preference to sprinkled facilities.

- Not enough fire extinguishers of proper type and placement, or the extinguishers are not being inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA-10.

- Inadequate or inoperative lighted EXIT signs, or signs indicating direction to exits.

- HVAC systems do not have smoke detection shutdown.

- Lack of emergency egress lighting, especially in stairways.

IV. GENERAL

- Non-compliance with handicapped accessibility requirements of NC Code Volume I-C, or the Americans with Disabilities Act (Federal Law).

1. Insufficient number of toilet fixtures.

The successful proposer must make any changes to the building which the State determines are necessary, even if not required by any other governmental entity having general code jurisdiction for the facility. All such changes shall ordinarily be required to be completed prior to occupancy.
