Defi nition of Terms

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Accessibility: The degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and benefit from some system or entity. The Federal Government is required to comply with published law (Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968 , American Disabilities Act of 1990), regulations and related standards. Accessibility laws and standards have evolved over the past 12 years. DOL now follows ABA Accessibility Standards for Federal Facilities (ABAAS) adopted by the General Services Administration.

Annual Operating Cost: This FRPC performance measure reflects the cost to operate each used asset and consists of lease costs as well as costs related to recurring maintenance, utilities, janitorial, and roads and grounds expenses (Source: FRPC 2012).

Building: In accordance with the FRPC 2012 Guidance for Real Property Inventory Reporting, a building includes an enclosure for human occupancy that serves a variety of functions (food service, education, recreation, medical/dental, storage, administration) and is likely to have full utility services (heating, cooling, etc.). A building typically is over 400 square feet.

Building Condition Rating by Function: Each building is assigned a building condition based on the physical condition of the building and the impact on the functional use of the facility. Three ratings are possible:

Good: The facility condition is not impacting the facility function. A facility can have deficiencies and still be considered good.

Fair: The facility condition is impacting the facility function and deficiencies are limited to less than 30% of the replacement value. Correction of the deficiencies would allow the facility to return to a good status.

Poor: The facility condition is significantly impacting the facility function and/or deficiencies are more than 30% of the replacement value. Generally a poor rating indicates a “gut renovation or total replacement/demolition would be required.

Building/Structure Ratings: Each building is rated according to three ratings (good, fair, and poor) based on evaluations of the structure, exterior, interior, mechanical, and electrical elements. Three ratings are possible:

Good: The facility condition is not impacting the facility function. A facility can have deficiencies and still be considered good.

Fair: The facility condition is impacting the facility function and deficiencies are limited to less than 30% of the replacement value. Correction of the deficiencies would allow the facility to return to a good status.

Poor: The facility condition is significantly impacting the facility function and/or deficiencies are more than 30% of the replacement value. Generally a poor rating indicates a “gut renovation or total replacement/demolition would be required

Construction Type: The International Building Code (IBC) construction classifications include the following:

Type I and II. Those types of construction in which building elements are of noncombustible materials, except as permitted in Section 603 and elsewhere in the code.

Type II and III. Any type of construction where the exterior walls are of noncombustible material and the interior building elements are of any material permitted by the code.

Type IV. This type (heavy timber, HT) is where the exterior walls are of noncombustible material and the interior building elements are of solid or laminated wood without concealed spaces.

Type V. That type of construction where structural elements, exterior walls, and interior walls are of any materials permitted by the code.

Contract Strength: The authorized number of students at a Center in accordance with the contract between the Region and Center Operator.

Deficiency: A deficiency at a Center represents the spectrum of conditions related to the Center’s mission and/or its physical, functional, or operational features do not meet related goals, standards, codes, or other measures of acceptability. Each deficiency at a JCC or CCC initially is categorized as one of the following three deficiencies: Program, Site, or Building:

Program: Program deficiencies address issues such as square footage shortages or the omission of amenities required or standard for the proper operation of a particular Job Corps function.

Site: Site deficiencies indicate adverse site and infrastructure conditions which negatively impact operations and environment (e.g., site lighting, sidewalks, roads, etc.)

Building: Building deficiencies indicate adverse conditions at the building level.

This element includes the substructure, shell, interior, services (plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and electrical), and equipment and furnishings.

Deficiency Classifications (I to IV): Deficiency classifications are defined as follows:

Class IA - Deficiencies which address imminent life safety and health hazards.

Class II - Deficiencies which address code violations, however, do not represent imminent life safety and health hazards.

A - Deficiencies which violate code (Federal, State or Local) and may result in an interruption of center operations if not corrected.

B - Deficiencies which violate code (Federal, State or Local) and have no immediate impact on center operations if not corrected.

C- Deficiencies which are not in compliance for accessibility in accordance with the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), or other applicable standards.

Class III - Deficiencies which address facility repair, replacement or maintenance.

A - Deficiencies which if not corrected may result in an interruption of center operations.

B - Deficiencies which if not corrected will have minimal impact on center operations or can be mitigated through temporary measures until the deficiency is corrected.

Class IV – Deficiencies which address programmatic needs.

A - Deficiencies which if corrected produce substantial improvements in the quality of the learning and living environment.

B - Deficiencies which if corrected are desirable enhancements.

Deficiency Funding Status: The status of the deficiency included the following categories:

Funded deficiencies report indicates the funding year for funded Regional projects, which have dollar amounts shown, or deficiencies assigned to funded National and Regional projects without dollar amounts. Major Regional projects are equivalent to National projects but assigned to the Federal agency (e.g., U.S.

Department of Agriculture) that acts as the Center operator. All operations and maintenance (O&M) deficiencies are treated as funded through the Center Operators O&M contract within the Region.

Proposed deficiencies have been assigned to a proposed future National project.

Unfunded deficiencies are Regional projects unless or until they are assigned to a National project.

Deficiency Status: The deficiency status is tracked and updated during the three-year facility survey cycle, or as such deficiencies are corrected and reported. The status includes:

Uncorrected: Once a deficiency is identified, documented, reported, and assigned for correction, the deficiency remains uncorrected until such time that the deficiency is corrected, reported, and verified.

Corrected: A corrected deficiency is one that has been assigned, funded, corrected, reported, and verified. Typically, the ESC verifies completion of the deficiency through the facility survey or site visit. The Center also may report completion and provide verifiable evidence of the correction, subject to review by the ESC.

Funded Not Corrected: A deficiency that has been approved and authorized as a regional project through the CRA budget, emergency or supplemental funding, or the Life Safety Memo. Note: the funding may not have reached the Center yet as the first steps are a FOP allocation by the National Office and a contract modification by the Region.

No Longer Needed: A no longer needed deficiency is one that has been approved and funded as a Regional project, but due to subsequent circumstances, has been reported by the Center as no longer being required to be accomplished. This type of deficiency is verified and confirmed by the ESC and removed from the Funded Not Corrected deficiency category. The Center should take action with its Region to return the funds.

Facility Condition Index: This performance measure reflects the condition of each asset by comparing the current repair needs to the replacement value of the asset. The index is expressed as a percentage, with 100% being a facility with no repair needs.

Gross Square Foot: The sum of all areas on all floors of a building included within the outside faces of its exterior walls, including all vertical penetration areas, for circulation and shaft areas that connect one floor to another. Gross Area is computed by physically measuring or scaling measurements from the outside faces of exterior walls, disregarding cornices, pilasters, buttresses, etc., that extend beyond the wall faces. Exclude areas having less than a 3-foot clear ceiling height unless the criteria of a separate structure are met. Measured in terms of Gross Square Feet (GSF): GSF = Net Usable Area + Structural Space (Source: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/ficm/).

Mission Dependency: The value an asset brings to the performance of the mission as determined by the governing agency. Specific elements of this category include (FRPC 2012):

Mission Critical - – Without constructed asset or parcel of land, mission is compromised.

Mission Dependent, Not critical (MDNC) - Does not fit into Mission Critical or Not Mission Dependent categories.

Not Mission Dependent (NMD) – Mission unaffected

Ownership (Owned vs Leased): If the property is owned, the Federal Government has fee simple interest for the real property asset. If the property is leased, the rights to use the asset are assigned to the Federal Government by a private entity or a non-Federal Government entity for a defined period of time in return for rental payments (FRPC 2012).

National Project: Generally large and complex projects that require professionally prepared drawings and specifications that are time phased (design and construction) and contracted by the DOL National Office.

Net Square Foot: The sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant or specific use. This value is computed by physically measuring or scaling measurements from the inside faces of surfaces that form the boundaries of the designated areas. Exclude areas having less than a 3-foot clear ceiling height unless the criteria of a separate structure are met. Included should be major space use categories for assignable space (e.g., dormitories, education, recreation, etc.) that are used to accomplish the institution’s mission. Net Square foot: NASF = Sum of Areas Designated by the Major Space Use Categories (Source: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/ficm/).

On Board Strength (OBS): An efficiency rating that depicts the extent to which the Centers operate at full capacity. The measure is calculated by the percent of planned capacity (number of students that center is authorized to serve on any given day) that is utilized on a cumulative basis. The national goal for OBS is 100%.

Preventive Maintenance: The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects (Source: Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, US DOD 2005).

Property Type: Indicates the asset as one of the following categories of real property:

land, building, structure.

Property Use: Since the elements defined by the FRPC do not match the space use codes employed in ESCIS, a mapping procedure will be created to align the definitions.

In the report, the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) classifications will be printed for display. The information is available through the property registration field of Engineering Support Contractor Information System (ESCIS), and the current ESCIS designations will be correlated to the FRPC designations as follows:

ESCIS FRPC

Dormitory Dormitories/Barracks Food Service Other Institutional Uses Education School Recreation Other Institutional Uses Medical/Dental Other Institutional Uses Storage Warehouse Administration Office Structure * Storage, Service, Utility

Systems, or Other Land Institutional

* Each structure will be entered manually from the ESCIS database into one of four FRPC categories listed opposite the term “structure”.

Replacement Value: The cost of replacing the existing constructed asset at today’s building standards. It is the amount required to construct an asset of similar size and in the same location at today’s construction standards. The replacement value reported must be greater than zero (FRPC 2012).

Regional Office Project: Generally smaller projects where the funds will be transferred to the region for center execution.

Structure: In accordance with the FRPC 2012 Guidance for Real Property Inventory Reporting, a structure serves to provide storage, service, utility systems and is not likely to have full utilities (heating, cooling, etc.). A structure typically is less than 400 square feet.

Sustainability: Formally known as the World Commission on Environment and Development, the Brundtland Commission's mission in the 1980s was to unite countries to pursue sustainable development. The Commission defined sustainability as the “development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Sustainability also is defined as the creation or enhancement of environmental, economic, and social-cultural balance, as realized through business activities, individual actions, and community engagement. Sustainability addresses approaches, methods and practices that optimize the use of energy, water, and materials while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Utilization: This performance measure assesses the degree to which each asset is utilized and is expressed as a percentage. It is calculated on a square footage basis, comparing the square footage used to the “design square footage” based on contract strength (Source: FRPC 2012).

Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report documents the results, conclusions and recommendations for the Facility Survey completed at Keystone JCC, Pennsylvania the week of 07 October 2013. The U.S. Department of Labor Engineering Support Contractor (ESC) team completed the survey on behalf of the Job Corps facilities program.

The Facility Survey is a comprehensive process that provides objective and subjective analysis of existing and projected future condition of facilities. The facility assessment is a key component in understanding the life cycle, condition, and costs of buildings, structures, building systems, and assets within the Center. Specific objectives of this assessment include:

Provide an assessment of all facilities and identify related deficiencies Assess maintenance requirements Define renewal and replacement projects Identify potentially damaging or unsafe conditions Identify sustainability opportunities (e.g., waste recycling and energy and water conservation measures) Inventory accessibility in accordance with Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard Develop cost estimates and schedules for new or replacement projects and correction of deficiencies

The site layout and characteristics of the 123-acre Center are noted in Figure ES-1 and Table ES-1, respectively. The survey results indicate the site and buildings generally are in good condition.

Operation and maintenance of the Center and preventive maintenance practices are good. For the PY 13 reporting year, 21 Regional life safety deficiencies valued at $27,666 were identified. An additional 73 life safety O&M deficiencies were identified. The Center had corrected all but one life safety deficiencies previously funded. The long range plan includes one National and three Regional projects, involving $4,138,841. Table ES-2 summarizes the facility assessment and recommendations for projects. Section 4.0 of this report includes the proposed site plan based on these recommendations.

Section 2.0 Existing Site Conditions. In this section, the status of the site and building is presented in terms of general conditions, functionality, resource use and intensities (i.e., energy, water, and waste), sustainability, and accessibility. The status of funded projects is noted and current and prior deficiencies are summarized.

Section 3.0 Planning Analysis. The proposed plan is presented in this section and is based on the existing site conditions and functions, Center mission, both near and long term.

National, Regional, and Center engagement is pivotal to the presentation of a plan that can be implemented.

Section 4.0 Recommendations. The recommendations for proposed projects and revised site plan are presented and are prefaced by summarizing the previous plans for the Center and findings documented during this program year survey.

2.0 Existing Conditions

Background

Keystone Job Corps Center is located on 123 acres of land in Drums, Pennsylvania. The Center is leased from the Luzerne County Board of Commissioners by the Department of Labor and operated by Management and Training Corporation (MTC). The facility was formerly a reformatory, and was activated as a Job Corps Center in 1965.

The Center currently has 344,186 gross square feet (GSF) in 40 Buildings. Keystone Job Corps Center provides residential living, academic education, recreation and vocational training for 242 female and 340 male resident students, and 18 non-resident students.

The total net square feet (NSF) at the Center is 280,054 as compared to the suggested space guideline range of 172,000 to 217,000 NSF. At the time of the October 2013 Facility Survey, there was 30,915 NSF of vacant space.

General Site Conditions

The Center is located in the Eastern Time Zone at approximately 41 degrees north latitude and 76 degrees west longitude. It has an average elevation of 1,102 feet above sea level. Average January temperatures in Drums, PA range between 18 degrees and 33 degrees Fahrenheit; the record low was -14 degrees F. Summers are warm with a July temperature range of 61 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Drums, PA is considered to be part of the mid-Atlantic temperate region, with annual precipitation of 46 inches including 56 inches of snowfall (equivalent to 5.6” of precipitation).

This is a vast campus where the buildings are grouped in clusters around a large central open space. The four newer dormitories are located at the north and northwest sides with the only remaining old Martin Luther King Dorm Building 4 in between. Education, soft

Campus grounds with Rosa Parks Dormitory Building 60 on the left vocations and administration buildings are grouped to the south. Hard vocations, the new Dining Facility Building 79, warehouse, maintenance buildings and the recreation building are located to the east. The site is gently sloping with steeper slopes at the edges.

Keystone JCC uses well water from three deep wells and water is stored in an above ground elevated 300,000 gallon tank for both domestic and fire protection use. Water from the tank is supplied to all the buildings and to the fire hydrants throughout the Center. The sanitary sewer system is owned and maintained by the municipality. The amount of sewer discharge is much higher than water use, possibly due to groundwater infiltration into waste pipes. This is documented by excessive sewer bills. The Center uses propane gas in addition to heating oil. Gas is supplied by the Heller Gas Company.

The Butler fire department is located less than three miles from the Center with a response time of five minutes.

The Center’s primary electrical service is supplied by the Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. The primary overhead lines of 12.4 KV, 3-Phase, 4-Wire system, entering the Center in two locations are adequate to meet the Center’s needs. The primary power lines and transformers are owned and maintained by the Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. The secondary power lines and transformers are owned and maintained by the Center. The southwest primary power line has a primary meter, which occurs at one location near Building 15 and secondary meters for several buildings. The southeast primary power line, supplying the vocational buildings, has individual meters located at each building.

The dining and recreational buildings are connected to the emergency generators with automatic transfer switches. All buildings have individual fire alarms and fire alarm control panels. Independent contractors/subcontractors maintain the fire alarm system.

The Center has a local cable television system which is distributed throughout the campus by Center maintained cabling. The telephone service is provided to the Center by Commonwealth Telephone Co. and is distributed throughout the campus. The Center maintains the telephone lines.

The roads on the Center are generally in good condition.

General Building Conditions

The Center currently consists of 40 buildings, 23 of which were built in 1925. Two were constructed during the 70’s, three during the 80’s, four during the 90’s, and eight were built in this millennium, four of which are the newer dormitories. These dormitories have exterior walls of brick and the roofs are mostly asphalt shingles with metal roofing over the mechanical rooms. The educational and soft vocation buildings are located in the center of the campus. Most are brick masonry buildings with asphalt shingle roofs. The warehouse, vocational buildings, and recreation have in general long span metal roof structures and stucco walls. The cafeteria dining hall, a converted old barn, has a wood structure roof and stucco walls.

Former Residential Office Building 18 and Clothing Structure were demolished since the PY 2010 Facility Survey.

Ownership

The U.S. Government leases the Keystone Job Corps Center from the Luzerne County Board of County Commissioners. The U.S. Government lease for real property is dated August 8, 2001 and has an annual rent of $12,000. The lease expires on August 31, 2051. The Government can terminate the lease at any time during the term, provided ninety (90) days written notice is given.

The Government is paying a reduced rental rate of $1,000 per month for the entire term of the lease, in exchange for a fifteen to twenty million dollar ($15,000,000 - $20,000,000) investment to improve and upgrade the leased property. This condition has been exceeded with the construction of the four new dormitories and the cafeteria. If the Government had failed to complete this investment, the rental rate would have reverted to fair market rent, estimated at two hundred six thousand dollars ($206,000) per year.

The lease stipulates that as long as the rental rate remains at $1,000 per month, the Government shall be fully responsible for the proper maintenance and repairs of the leased premises, which would include any structural repairs or failure of the building (or buildings) or its major systems, exterior walls, including brickwork, windows, exterior doors, exterior metal work and woodwork, roofing, structural roof deck, down spouts, gutters, sidewalks, curbs, paved areas (including roadways, off-street driveways and parking areas), elevated roof water tanks, foundations, boilers, water storage tanks, central air conditioning, heating equipment and other components, water distribution lines, plumbing, electrical distribution lines, freight elevators, and the like. Additionally, the Government shall be responsible for the repair and replacement of the water and sewer infrastructure on the property. If the rent ever reverts to market rent, the Lessor would be responsible for all of the aforementioned maintenance.

Since the Government has occupied the leased premises since 1966, it was agreed that the Lessor is not responsible for any building code violations that existed at the time the lease took effect or that are a result of the Job Corps program.

Facility Assessment by Function

Student housing

The construction of four new dormitories, two in 2004 and two in 2007, transformed housing facilities at Keystone JCC. These four dorms are modified one story Prototype “H” dormitories with a capacity of 148 beds each, totaling 592 beds. Typical sleeping rooms accommodate four students each; handicapped accessible rooms accommodate two students each. All sleeping rooms have attached bathrooms. In addition a common lobby and gathering space (commons) serves each dormitory. The two dormitories constructed in 2004 have operable windows in the bedrooms. Students use these windows as unauthorized exits, damaging the windows in the process. As a lesson learned, fixed windows were installed in the 2007 dormitories. The dormitories are sprinklered for fire protection; therefore, escape windows are not required by code.

Previous roof leaks at pier walls were being corrected at the time of the October 2013 Facility Survey. Except for window issues, the buildings are in good condition.

Martin Luther King Jr. Dormitory Building 4, the oldest dormitory (built in 1989), is a one story building with a center lounge and two wings. One wing is a vacant dormitory with a capacity of 44 beds. The other wing is used for human resources offices and CPP. The building is in good condition.

Franklin Dormitory Building 16, built in 1925, was renovated to house the Youth Services Program – a State of Pennsylvania program not formally affiliated with Job Corps. However, these students use some of the Job Corps facilities such as the cafeteria.

Laundry rooms, main lounges, and the main toilet /shower rooms are located in the basement and the RA offices on the first floor. The sleeping rooms are evenly distributed on second and third floors that have one smaller shower and toilet room each. The building is in good condition but was approximately 50% vacant at the time of the October 2013 Facility Survey.

Education

Academic classrooms are located in Building 10. This building is in good condition and functions well. Security vocation is located in Building 8, which is deteriorated and in poor condition. The restrooms are located in the basement and need to be accessed through a hard to maneuver narrow and steep stair.

Medical vocations are dispersed in three buildings: LPN is located in Building 12, HOT is located in the basement of Building 6/45 and on the first floor of Building 7. Business technology is also located in Building 7. The three-story Building 7 lacks an elevator and its heating source is located in Center Standards Building 8 which is in poor condition. In general the layout of the floors in these buildings is inefficient and the electrical and mechanical systems are insufficient.

Lincoln Dormitory Building 69

Academic Programs Building 10

Culinary Arts is located in Building 59. The building was built by CTST in 2003. It is in good condition and functions well. Career preparation classrooms and counselors are located in Building 22, and residential living is located in the recently renovated Building

29. Both buildings are in good condition.

Hard vocations are located in Building 24 (H.B.I. classroom and electrical), Building 53 (floor covering), Building 51 (plumbing), Building 52 (H.B.I. carpentry, and facility maintenance), Union Trades Building 54 (brick masonry, plaster, cement masonry and painting trade) and Building 58 (warehouse vocation). These buildings are in good condition and function well.

Food Service

The new Dining Facility Building 79 was constructed in 2011 to relocate the cafeteria from Kennedy Dining Building 20. Building 79 is in good condition and functions well.

However, there is a sink hole near the entrance; repairs were pending at the time of the October 2013 Facility Survey.

Recreation

Indoor recreational facilities are housed in Recreation Building 50. The facility is in good condition but the total area for recreation in the Center is theoretically below DOL standards but is workable. One room is currently being used for TABE testing.

Recreation space shortage would be somewhat mitigated when TABE testing function is relocated to the planned Career Preparation space in vacant Building 20. The building is in good condition and functions well. There is an outdoor basketball court between Building 50 and the new cafeteria and a ball field and two more basketball courts at the center of campus.

Dining Facility Building 79 completed in 2011

Administration

Administration functions are scattered in several small buildings that are generally in good condition. Administration Building 5 houses offices for the Center Director, Assistant Director, and Finance and Administration Director. A conference room is located in Building 9, which is somewhat remote. Student services offices and Finance are located respectively on the first and second floors of Building 23, which is on the opposite side of campus, near the vocational buildings. Post Office Building 17 is in good condition and functions well.

Security/Transportation Building 14 is in fair condition. The structural elements are skewed because of differential foundation settlement over the years, the finishes are worn out and its location, so close to the sloped curvy road frequently traveled by trucks, is a concern, particularly in winter time icy conditions. A replacement building is under construction.

Building 29, which used to be a male dormitory and was built in 1925, has three floors and was recently renovated to administrative office space and nonacademic functions by CTST. Renovated spaces in the building are in good condition.

Medical/Dental

The medical/dental facilities are located in Building 6/45. Some of the ceiling tiles are stained due to former roof leaks and the building HVAC system is inadequate. Otherwise, the facility is in good condition and functions well.

Storage/Support

The main warehouse is located in Building 53. This building is in good condition and functions well. There is additional storage spread around the Center but most of it is in hard to access attics and basements. Storage Building 56 is a Quonset hut with an unfinished floor and is in fair condition.

Maintenance functions are dispersed in Center Maintenance Shop Building 26, Maintenance Building 25, and Electrical Maintenance Building 34. These buildings are in good condition but so many small maintenance buildings scattered throughout the campus are difficult to manage. The Center also maintains its own vehicles and there is a vehicle maintenance garage at the basement of Wellness/CNA/TEAP Building 6/45.

Administration Building 5

Accessibility Standards

The survey included an accessibility assessment for this center. Ten of the 40 buildings were totally compliant and six more have limited accessibility. Several buildings with limited accessibility can be made accessible with minor renovations.

Compliance will be incorporated as major renovation projects are developed and new buildings are constructed. All future projects at the center will be in conformance with the GSA's Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standard for Federal Facilities and will include provisions for full accessibility.

Energy Issues

An energy and water evaluation study was conducted concurrent with the Facility survey.
