Defi nition of Terms

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 11

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

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 12

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.

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 13

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.

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 14

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

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 15 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

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 16 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

This report documents the results, conclusions and recommendations for the facility survey completed at Philadelphia Job Corps Life Science Institute, Philadelphia Pennsylvania the week of September 9, 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 assessment is a comprehensive process that provides objective and subjective analysis of existing and projected future conditions 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 1-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 generally good.

Most of the maintenance on major building systems is done by the lessor. For the PY 13 reporting year, four (4) regional life safety deficiencies valued for $7,888 were identified. An additional thirteen (13) life safety O&M deficiencies were identified. Fourteen (14) life safety deficiencies were identified that need to be completed by the building lessor. The total number of previously funded but not corrected deficiencies was one for a total $8,309, the lighting work associated with this deficiency has been determined to be functioning correctly and the deficiency is no longer needed. The long range plan includes no National projects. It does include four lessor projects which will be funded and completed by Defense Realty, LLC (lessor) and two Regional projects, involving $14,027. 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.

General Building Conditions

The Center contains one building, built in 1941 with the interior of the building being renovated for the Job Corps Center in 2008. The Job Corps Center occupies half of the main three floors of the building. A basement and a small penthouse contain the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for the Center but are controlled by the Lessor. Building interiors generally are in good condition.

However, there are leaks from the roof to the three floors below which have damaged some of the gypsum board window jambs. Additionally, while the mechanical equipment is of good quality, it is not functioning adequately due to ineffective operation and maintenance.

The location of the toilet room vents to the air intake vents of the AHU units appears to contribute to the odor that often permeates through the building. The Lessor has the major responsibility for maintenance on the major structural and mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

Preventive Maintenance

The maintenance at the Center generally is fair. The in-house maintenance team is knowledgeable of maintenance practices and handles smaller tasks. Larger tasks are handled by the Building Lessor.

Inspection and certification documentation, executed by outside contractors, was complete and up to date as of the September 2013 Facility Survey. There were very few existing operations and maintenance (O&M) deficiencies, that the Center is responsible for, that were not completed at the time of the September 2013 Facility Survey.

Resource Use/Conservation

Energy and water use and associated trends are summarized below for the Philadelphia JCC.

Background: Table 1 has current energy and water usage and cost. The Philadelphia JCC’s natural gas unit cost is much higher than average for Job Corps.

Table 1: Energy and Water Statistics – FY2013 Energy Usage Cost Unit Cost Average Cost in Job Corps Electricity 1,871,148 kWh $186,299 $0.099/kWh $0.099/kWh Natural Gas 21,123 CCF $39,301 $1.9/CCF $0.74/CCF Water 5,523,291 gal $48,853 $8.8/kgal $5.59/kgal Total $274,453

This analysis is based on the latest energy information available. FY2013 data are the latest entire year available for analysis.

Energy Data Issues: The Philadelphia JCC has entered water data incorrectly into Energy Watchdog. The water data has been corrected recently. The Center appears to be using much more water than expected. The Center should investigate this issue by checking the water meter and checking if other tenants are using water billed to Job Corps.

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 33

Benchmarking: Table 2 is based on the EO13423 goals of 3% annual energy reduction since the FY2003 baseline. FY2009 will be used as the baseline for energy usage and FY2010 used for water baseline since those years were the first that complete data is available.

Figure 2 shows the annual water intensity increases since FY2010.

Figure 2: Annual Water Intensity Compared to FY2010 Baseline and Annual Targets.

Electricity: Electricity Usage at the Center rises during the summer and winter months due to HVAC loads. The FY2013 usage is much higher than previous years. The Center should investigate the increase in electricity usage in FY2013. Figure 3 tracks the monthly electricity usage since 2010.

Figure 3: Monthly Electricity Usage

Figure 4 shows the lowest electricity usage between 2010 and 2013 by month. The Center should use these as targets for electricity usage. If the Center can meet or reduce their electricity usage per month to these numbers, they can move towards making their energy reduction goals.

Philadelphia Job Corps Center 35

Figure 4: Minimum Electricity Usage Between 2010 and 2013 by Month.

Natural Gas: Natural gas is for heating, domestic water heating, clothes drying, and cooking at the Center. As most of the natural gas is used for heating, usage is much higher during the heating season. Natural gas usage is up in 2013 due to the colder winter Pittsburgh had this year. Monthly usage since 2010 is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Monthly Natural Gas Usage

Figure 6 shows the minimum natural gas usage per month between 2010 and 2013. The numbers can be used as goals for energy reduction. As most of the natural gas usage is for heating, the savings can be realized in the heating season.
