Rowan WB RA Ass'mt.pdf

This is a Facility Assessment document prepared by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Property & Supply Services for the Rowan County Rest Area (Building Inventory #RA103-64 W1) located on Interstate 64 Eastbound at Milemarker 141. The assessment was conducted on March 4, 2005, by Bernard H. Engelman and evaluates the main rest area building, toilet rooms, vending building, picnic shelter, and storage building constructed in 1979. The facility, approximately 26 years old at the time of assessment, is in overall good condition and expected to serve the traveling public well into the future. The assessment identifies specific maintenance and repair needs across multiple structures, including replacement of loose shingles and missing trim rings on soffit lighting for the main building, patching of crumbling concrete sidewalks, replacement of the picnic shelter roof, repair of rotten wood and missing shingles on the storage building, and correction of drainage issues and settling gravel under drainage channels throughout the facility.

The assessment notes that truck parking at this location is undersized in both capacity and configuration, with evidence of trucks overrunning curbs and creating ruts in lawn areas. Beyond the structural repairs outlined, the facility requires attention to concrete cracks, broken curbs, and drainage problems in the picnic area. No pricing information, contract terms, award dates, or bidding procedures are included in this assessment document, which serves primarily as an inventory of facility conditions and recommended maintenance priorities for the Rowan County Rest Area.
